Yes. Go tell Wikipedia that I won’t open a textbook.

I’m using a new phone keyboard, please forgive typos.
Yes. Go tell Wikipedia that I won’t open a textbook.
Open a textbook: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Guide_to_requests_for_adminship
Tell them, not me.
Go tell Wikipedia about that, not me. It’s a community you can join. You very clearly feel very strongly about it. Talking to me about it isn’t going to change anything.
Wowww. Insisting that they’re good at math. I distinctly remember learning that RPN doesn’t need parentheses in college.
reverse Polish calculators do not need expressions to be parenthesized

But, you know, anyone can edit Wikipedia. Someone probably put that there who hasn’t opened a math textbook.
They seem to believe that and on the 8th day God made the one true objective order of operations that all humans use and agree on.
It’s funny that you define “ignore” as “not doing what you tell someone to” because by that definition you’ve been ignoring me too. Go edit the article if you feel this strongly.
I haven’t ignored anything you said. I’m telling you that if you have a problem with those that you should contact them to fix them.
Go tell Berkeley I did that.
I did read everything you said and I do know how to do math. I hope you are able to enact the change you want to see in Wikipedia and the article. Good luck.
I cannot stress this enough. If you have a problem with that, contact the author or Berkeley, not me.
Take it up with them if you have a problem with them.
Again, if you have a problem with Wikipedia, take it up with Wikipedia.


And then they’re gonna say “see? Look how many people are using this! I deserve a bonus.” When it’s a setting that’s just on by default.
If you believe the article is incorrect, submit your corrections to Wikipedia instead of telling me.
Take it up with Berkeley then.
You lost me here. This is where you start to sound like a boomer. The annoying thing about 67 isn’t that it doesn’t have any sense behind it, it’s the sheer ubiquity that kids say it. Which, unless you have kids or work with kids you probably really aren’t seeing. Look at old MLG montage parody videos. Why was that guy saying “wow” and winking funny? There’s no reason. It is just something we laughed at. 67 is the same.
A lot of everything else you say I resonate with. Ads are getting more intense and ubiquitous. My country is going mask off with fascism and disappearing citizens. There’s a lot to be upset about. I don’t think much of it is related though, you know? Ads just suck because they want more money and that just means showing more ads.
This is some serious advice. Find things to be thankful for, no matter how small, and focus on them. Your perception is your reality. What you fill your mind with is what you see. I know it sort of sounds obvious but, if you’re thinking about miserable things all day you’ll be miserable. If you think about things that make you happy, you’ll be happy. I’m not saying to ignore the bad things or to give up, but you can’t fight back if you’re miserable. It is okay to take a break. It is okay to want to be happy.
If you’re in the northern hemisphere we’re in the time of year that gets dark super duper early. Seasonal affective disorder is real. The older I get the more I realize it. I’m not saying blame your thoughts on it being less sunny, but just be aware it can be a component.
I hope you can find some joy. 💜
