@dejennaracy @psycogenicFugue Came here to mention this one, genuinely changed my understanding of myself. @ceicocat is incredible.

@Miss2ook @leng_cath The meaning of this poster is that you, the reader and fellow transit-rider, should physically step in when you see someone getting harassed and pretend to be the victim's friend using this line to discourage the harasser. No one is suggesting the victim say this to the harasser.

@KnowingBetterYT Seeing a KnowingBetter tweet in the wild is like seeing your high school teacher at the supermarket 😅

@valigo The complaint about how he couldn't figure out in 20 seconds what the guy's education was, followed by his first piece of advice being to delete the opening summary which includes the phrase "PhD in Cryptography/Microelectronics" O.O

@me_irl This was a lovely piece.

@Siwelthelongboi @JacobAShell The opposite of a greedy approach is a "dynamic approach". Example: To save money on food, greedy approach might be to find deepest discounts at grocery store, while dynamic approach might be to start a backyard farm -- more expensive start but might lead to better outcome.

@Siwelthelongboi @JacobAShell This isn't exactly it, but in CS we have the idea of a "greedy approach": the belief that if you take the individual correct decisions, you will arrive at the long term best outcome. Much effort is spent deciding if the "greedy approach" is actually true for specific problems.

@Rutras3000 @Aranwe9378 @alexia_moi_voss Hmmm... The meaning of "VTuber" comes from use — so if, say, someone wins an award for "Best VTuber" and is widely referred to as a VTuber by the media... *thinking*

@Ropespinner2 @paulnovosad Used to teach CS. The problem is that all remediation has opportunity cost. If half the class doesn't understand, worth the time to reteach, but if 2/30 kids don't get it, you can't go back over it. Fixed # of days to cover material. Teachers care, just have finite time.

@darkprometheus1 @ElifNull @mehdirhasan @JDVance @StephenM The turnaround from "we're not gonna double down and defend them" to someone doubling down to defend a heinous quote is only 1 reply, poetry 😅

@ElifNull @mehdirhasan @JDVance @StephenM Sir, you literally heard a guy say, on tape, that when he meets a woman for the first time, he "[doesn't] even wait. And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. ... Grab 'em by the pussy. You can do anything." and you elected that guy President. Twice.

The problem with playing board games online is that you don't get to see the moment the light leaves their eyes

Human brains aren't built for the modern world, being online means I have to learn that the Overton window has now shifted to include literal Nazis and then in the same day I also have to learn what a vtuber is

@False_Shadows @hutchinson Hopefully I can explain what you're misunderstanding. Debt is our *cumulative* budget shortfall, while deficit is our *current* comparison of cash inflow to outflow. No one has reduced the debt since Clinton, but your chart shows Dems reducing the deficit while Rs increase it.
