I could have been a billionaire if I felt like it. I just didn’t feel like it.
- Comment on Anon reads the news 1 week ago:
The truth lies in the heart of the beholder. If the story speaks to you in some particular way, if it resonates deeply enough, then it’s speaking to something you know to be true about the world as you know it. Something which remains true regardless of whether the story is factual or not.

Better try another one to be sure.

No, there’s a law now where they have to allow you to opt out of overdraft “protection”. They just decline the transaction but they don’t charge you any fees.

AUDIENCE
BOOO! BOOO!
NANCY (one hand on her hip, the other defiantly pointing at the audience)
I do as I please! I do as I please! Y’all don’t know me! I do as I please!

In what way was Franklyn Cicero greedy? Wasn’t his whole role to advocate for the common man?

10 min: This should be interesting. 20 min: Why does this feel… off? 30 min: I must be missing a lot of historical references. 40 min: Wait, is the audience the butt of the joke here? 50 min - 90 min: confusion/anger 100 min: Holy shit Aubrey Plaza is hot 120 min: He made a whole movie for that one scene 🤣

It is, but I figured it out eventually. I mean he did. Probably.
- Comment on Vectors Part 2 3 months ago:
I’ll give it a shot.
We can use vector spaces for thinking about things that aren’t primarily concerned with space, like we are in Blender. Let’s imagine something practical, if a bit absurd. Pretend we have unlimited access to three kinds of dough. Each has flour, water, and yeast in different ratios. What we don’t have access to is the individual ingredients.
Suppose we want a fourth kind of dough which is a different ratio of the ingredients from the doughs we have. If the ratios of the ingredients of the three doughs we already have are unique, then we are in luck! We can make that dough we want by combining some amount of the three we have. I’m fact, we can make any kind of dough that is a combination of those three ingredients.
In linear algebra, this is called linear independence. This is actually an example of polynomial space that another user mentioned. Each dough is a vector, and each ingredient is a component. We have three equations (doughs) in three variables (ingredients).
This is a three dimensional vector space, which is easy to visualize. But there is no limit to how many dimensions you can have, or what they can represent. Some economic models use vectors with thousands of dimensions representing inputs and outputs of resources. Hopefully my explanation helps us see how vectors can sometimes be more difficult to imagine as directions and magnitudes.

… That’s enough real analysis for me today. Or ever, really.
- Comment on Anon gets diagnosed 3 months ago:
No it’s more likely that my emotionally and financially abusive car stealing, gaslighting, steal-money-out-of-my-wallet-while-I’m-sleeping parent just didn’t want to be held accountable for her shitty “parenting.” Also the multiple expert evaluations that say I’m not diagnosably autistic. But I guess I should listen to the guy that analyzes people’s mental health based on a four sentence internet post uninvited, right?

- Comment on Anon gets diagnosed 3 months ago:
YO, my mom did this to me! In fact I figured a lot of this shit out when I found r/raisedbynarcissists. I saw a lot of people there claimed to be on the spectrum which I thought was pretty weird. So I follow the rabbit hole and I learn about PTSD, CPTSD and I start seeing a therapist about it. Turns out she just didn’t want to be responsible for fucking up her kid.

I knew at least one kid in high school who was told that weed was as bad as heroin. Then he saw his friends doing weed and everything seemed fine. So then he did weed and everything seemed fine. Then he started asking about heroin.
