prove to me that you have value

And then demand that she proves every turtle on the way down. Money is not an indication of value because it has no inherent worth, etc.

Demand that she proves that your value is attributable to her and is not inherent to you. Etc.

Mixed media that you don’t realize is mixed.

One time I was reading a webtoon, and out of nowhere it played a jump scare video. I didn’t realize it wasn’t just a series of images.
Not that jump scares are high quality horror, it was just something interesting.

Imagine reading a book that somehow magically played creepy subtle sound effects to fuck with your subconscious as you read. An audiobook could maybe do something like that, although you’d be more primed for it. Maybe an ebook could do it somehow.

I remember playing the FEAR demo and it would subtly start mixing in a raising heartbeat prior to a jump scare to dial up your anxiety.

Depending on the nature of your needs wrt version control, and how you want your editor to provide annotations, that will shape what solutions work for you. Those are pretty important considerations you will probably want to clarify, to get good advice. Also your comfort with self-hosting.

I’ve personally switched to silverbullet. It offers some really cool features, but I don’t think it’s going to provide the things you want in a way I suspect you’d like.
For example, annotations would be directly inline, not in a little sidebar. And there is no versioning to tell you who made what edit, when; you have to self host it, and provide your own backups at whatever schedule you want, separately from the app. And the really cool features probably aren’t going to be useful for the manuscript itself, it’s things like smart linking to sections of pages, and the ability to embed search queries of your docs directly in a page.

Corporate entities are in control of the copyrights of a lot of the training materials used to train ai, too.

Ok, then explain prefix and postfix, where these conventions don’t apply. How can these be rules of math when they didn’t universally apply?

Says someone who didn’t rearrange "PEMDAS

The order of operations tells us how to interpret an equation without rearranging it. When you pick a different convention, you need to rearrange it to get the same answer. What you did was rearrange the equation, which you can only do if you are already following a specific convention.

No it can’t because no it wouldn’t 😂

All conventions can produce the correct answer, when appropriately arranged for that convention, because the conventions are not laws of mathematics, they are conventions.

Nope! The obey all the rules of Maths. They would get wrong answers if they didn’t

They obey the laws of math. Conventions aren’t laws of math, they’re conventions. And a quick Google search will tell you that not everyone puts juxtaposition at a higher precedent than multiplication; it’s a convention. As long as people are using the same convention, they’ll agree on an answer and that answer is correct.

You can be mean all you like, that doesn’t change the nature of conventions

That’s not true Here is an example:
8÷2x4
PEMDAS: 8÷2x4 = 8÷8 = 1
PEDMAS: 8÷2x4 = 4x4 = 16
PE M|D A|S: 8÷2x4 = 4x4 = 16
And thats not even getting into juxtaposition operations, where fields like physics use conventions that differ from most other field.

but you’re missing the point. It could be SAMDEP and math would still work, you’d just rearrange the equation. Just like with prefix or postfix notation. The rules don’t change, just the notation conventions change. But you need to agree on the notation conventions to reach the same answer.

Thankfully the only such place is my parents, and I can visit that.
Idk how I’ll deal when they eventually have to sell it. They built it themselves a few years before I was born.

I’ve currently lived in the same apartment for about 10 years, but I worry that when we eventually move, my child will miss it and won’t really have a way to visit it again.

“do anything about it” doesn’t have to mean violence. What the fuck? Why is that the first thing you jump to?

Isn’t not giving Dave Chappelle money or time or attention the grand sum of things that you can do about his stance without violence?

Yes, that is the do anything about it that I’m talking about. The thing Chapelle calls cancel culture, and fights against. So if violence isn’t allowed and neither is organizing to have a voice as loud as his, then what is allowed besides letting him have his way?

makes me not an ally

I don’t choose who is or isn’t an ally.
If the consensus of the trans community is supporting Chapelle, then I’ll shut up about it because I’d clearly be mistaken, but that doesn’t seem to be the case afaict, which aligns with my understanding of why Chapelle is problematic in general; he uses libertarianism as a carte blanche to pick on minorities. this just demonstrates how libertarianism is ironically discriminatory in practice, but it teaches bigots a language to defend themselves with.

I earnestly try to be a reasonable person and to express my views without judgment of other people. […] typically, no matter what I say to you, your response is to exacerbate the argument rather than resolve it.

How am I supposed to interpret this, from someone who immediately accused me of supporting violence and then doubled down on that accusation?

Are you suggesting violence as an appropriate response to his commentary?

What the fuck?

Have you encountered anyone who has been emboldened to commit either emotional or physical crimes against another person because of something Dave Chappelle has said or done?

That is crazy disingenuous. If you’re this passionate about the subject then you know full well it’s not the work of a single person, it’s normalized a little at a time, bit by bit, until people do feel emboldened to take action. Chappelle is part of the problem, and as a very public figure then it’s even less ok to let it slide, because people take cues about what is ok and what isn’t from public figures.

And if you’re going to say that trans people aren’t already the subject of discrimination, than we cannot have a civilized discussion.

Any artist old enough to have popular CD albums for sure has done something bad.

And I’m old enough to have collected them in my youth.

If you want some real gut churning debauchery, look at my tape collection. For sure those guys are evil.
(I don’t actually have a tape collection anymore)

The problem with that is that the libertarians that attracts are hypocrites. They don’t let live, just like Chapelle himself isn’t letting live.

It’s easy to say “live and let live” when you’re in a relative position of unassailable authority.
It’s easy for someone with the means to do whatever they want to say “everyone should be able to do what they want”.\

I should be allowed to mock you, but you shouldn’t be allowed to do anything about it

There are jokes punching up, and jokes punching down.

Chapelle is in a position of punching down, here.

Painting

You can go a long way with a cheap set of brushes and a kids watercolor or acrylic set

Yes, that’s exactly why I want an eGPU.

The less popular brands often have better specs, like 64g ram, and also no custom silicone/drivers, and idk how much either of those would affect real-world performance.

But more specifically I’m interested in reviews of the hardware itself. Is it flimsy, is it ergonomic, is it heavy, what is the battery life irl?

Ok, I’ll give that one a shot too, thanks!

I’m not sure I can justify buying so many handhelds given that reviewing PC/gaming equipment isn’t my business.
