for all the hate on asians grinding the SAT, i actually wish everyone grinded the reading section more, specifically the questions about not projecting your own interpretations onto the text and answering according to what it actually said

@Benthamsbulldog happy to report there was no continental vs analytic philosophy war round 4, at least while i was there

[Kendric Tonn @kendrictonn]

I always think of myself as kinda woo and mystical and philosophical and sensitive and then I go sit in the audience at a panel at the arts collective and realize that, at least in that context, I am actually Mister fukin Spock

@juicellducati this is why i fucking love alcohol

@lu_sichu @thewreathwright i think this is like the death note where you have to imagine the persons face or some other identifying feature to count

[Orion @fluxlesss]

grokking collider bias is my favorite still-underrated epistemic mode:

can get a huge amount of info on which filter bubble you (or another) are in by carefully examining suspicious correlations you observe

this is kinda the ONLY way to bootstrap yourself out of a filter bubble

[luciela @rucibear]

as much as it's obviously a prescriptive statement, i get too much of a perceived intelligence boost from my inclination to obtain info without asking a human for me not to chud out a little over "there are no stupid questions"

[Yuno Poster @HidamariSneed]

so true

@RealDianeYap if im really smitten with a girl, the original sentiment seems perfectly agreeable and relatable, but id be crushed if said girl actually expresses it unprompted to me absent sufficient offsetting context

[luciela @rucibear]

@RealDianeYap interesting example of a sentiment that takes on very different conditional implications when expressed in the abstract or in reference to a particular guy

[luciela @rucibear]

im not sure what causes this behavior, as it feels so alien to me. an inability to envision others not bending to your will? a failure to model outcomes probabilistically? categorical refusal to make quantitative comparisons between evils?

it's quite unfortunate that being a vegan activist is almost perfectly correlated with being the kind of political extremist who's more concerned with pushing their idealist vision at the cost of pragmatism and actually winning

[Nathan 🔎 @NathanpmYoung]

If I were a vegan reading this I'd respond. "Yes, correct, what would help you eat less animals" not "Why don't you stop then"

I think one will help you win more, one less.

@rockets_enjoyer @NathanpmYoung in a society where beating your wife is normal and his proposed response is more effective, that's probably the one you should go with

@Allodoxaa 1) gd timing windows can be tighter than highest osu OD
2) 2-player levels arent strictly dominated by osu input space
3) it's unclear to me that maximal theoretical difficulty is an interesting metric to compare game difficulty

"gauché"

@shinboson i always feel like some part of me is missing when i witness it tbh

[luciela @rucibear]

@redaction this is game-theoretically impossible, but i wish there were a high fidelity method of communicating "i genuinely enjoy your company and didnt befriend you just to try to date you, and i have sufficiently good cogsec that even if you say no, things wont change between us"

[luciela @rucibear]

@redaction disclosing romantic interest to a woman outside of one of the Approved™ soulless match group gambling apps makes me feel like diddy epstein, and i dont want to use one of the soulless match group gambling apps, so i will simply die alone
