:a-little-trolling: Squares are terrible and everybody's saying it, folks. They're weak, they're ineffective, and they cause tremendous suffering.
All polygons can be triangulated and any arbitrary bounded and non-disjoint figure can be triangulated to whatever degree of accuracy you wish with a strictly finite number of triangles.

Also, hexagons are cubes seen with a vertex pointed at you. And cubes are merely 6 squares. And squares are evil.
Triangles are too pointy to make stable molecules---the sharp angle produces ring strain. Even nature thinks triangles are weak.
Triangles are my favorite shape
Three points where two lines meet
Toe to toe, back to back, let's go
My love, it's very late

Let's tessellate
I used to like this guy a lot back in 2015, and I think he’s got a good heart but just swimming in ideology. He wants to imagine himself perfect rational and robotic and ignores a lot of ideological assumptions, but I think he does just want to improve things
He wants to imagine himself perfect rational and robotic and ignores a lot of ideological assumptions
Ignoring or denying ideology doesn't remove the ideology, it only reinforces it by way of ignorance. :zizek-fuck:
Of course, that’s my point. He’s a fish swimming in a sea of assumptions
Some "rational" people just keep swimming, while others go deeper and plunge into fascism by any number of renames or masking labels.
Can’t see this guy going fascist, he’s as squishy and humanitarian as possible. He will either flee somewhere else or just keep his head down
I agree. He'll just keep swimming in the vapid "rational" waters, as centrist as can be.
It's really sad when people have unexamined biases and aren't aware of their own ideological positions. They're never going to be able to really engage with the world, and they'll never really understand what happened when things don't conform to their presuppositions.
i am immune to propaganda actually, guess im just built different
everyone is equally unaware of their own ideological positions and absolutely everyone is equally unable to engage with the world
:doubt:
It's like the dril "no difference between good and bad things" take mixed with the XKCD "the important thing is you found a way to feel superior to both" take.
except me of course, i'm all knowing and all seeing. and normal.
Irony doesn't hide the smug that well if those kinds of takes keep getting dished out.
For all the talk on Hexbear about how no one should go on :reddit-logo: , sometimes the :reddit-logo: comes from here.
equally unaware? maybe not. unable to engage with the world? yes. what you experience is not the real, but the real filtered thru your sensorium.
So it's a grander and more academically celebrated version of huffing one's own farts, then.
hes the eternal liberal, when he dies he should have his brain scanned, so that we can analyse the liberal brain
It'd be cheaper to just buy the complete Blu-Ray collection of The West Wing.
yeah it's reddit af but I like when he teaches me about runways at airports
He's got a lot of interesting stuff, and then one video where he is clearly controlling a Tesla despite claiming it's on autopilot.
and the one where he compares the popularity of Buckingham Palace and Versailles by only looking at American tourists
Ah yes, the one where he comes out as pro-monarchy for purely fiscal reasons.
The bear is an ancient symbol of the power and mystery of nature and of the interplay of life and death.
"Arctic Circle" was named simply for "bears here, and they'll fuck you up."
And why was a big bear constellation associated with regions known for bear presence? :thinking-about-it:
Yes, that's also where the bears are generally in greater concentration.
The Antarctic, by contrast, has no bears.
are you suggesting that the bears saw the constellation and headed north
No. I'm suggesting that the constellation being seen as and named for a bear likely was because of already-existing bear populations in the north. It was more playful at first but if you're going to be totally :reddit-logo: about it, I'm not interested in going further.
i think my theory makes more sense. the bears saw the constellation and headed north.
War game
You mean like a military exercise with real soldiers and sophisticated computer simulations?
Literally a board game with dice
Oh.
If Xi completes the belt and road he gets five points for longest road.
I unironically want to play this wargame.
Also, fuckin' lol think tanks really earning their money by playing boardgames.
Yeah I think it might be fun to play, just don’t think articles should be written about the outcome and taken seriously
Absolute elite grift. Getting paid big consultancy bucks to play board games all day and have your journalist friends come over and write about how good the game is 👍
Spreading the days off just means even less resting and more anticipation of the all too soon next work days.
It's the same ghoulishness behind "all year school" plans where there's no summer vacation, only tiny breaks.

I did this when I was younger, you get three month-long breaks, and I thought it was fucking awesome.
That does sound awesome. Unfortunately the local proposals for "all year school" had much shorter breaks in mind.
It's a shit idea for most people, but for his line of work I can see where it might be helpful. I think he was kind of blind to the fact that his work is pretty different from most people.
Surely he meant Saturday, Sunday, and Wednesday after moving to a four-day work week.
I want the george jetson work week of having one hour a day two days a week.
