kindergartners should start with the quantifier-free fragment of Presburger Arithmetic and gradually be introduced to stronger and stronger axiomatic systems

"Viva More"

hi guys!

i watched Hasan to see what what was going on and it's just a guy at his computer talking for hours?! that's not a show. how is that a show? who would watch this? i'm too damn old.

my desert island book? The United States Constitution

guy at work who used "what's your desert island book" as an icebreaker and after we all went he goes "for me, it's the Holy Bible." great. thanks for making us all look like assholes.

OpenAI says they have a billion weekly users and i never see this number questioned. there are 8.5 billion people on earth, 2.5 billion have no internet access. 1 billion internet users in China are blocked. 20% of all people with internet access use this thing every week? not fucking likely.

"i can mashed potato! i can do the twist!" wooooow those are some pretty tough dances!

today's promiscuous mycologists need to spend less time worrying about false morels and more about their false morals! (although they do also need to worry about false morels, as those are poisonous)

the characters this season are too broadly drawn, it's taking me out of it

they built 30K sq ft of sets for the Backrooms movie... but ended up with 90M sq ft

it must be incredible to be my wife, you get to hear constant nonstop song parodies, as improvised as they are loud! they're so good they don't need to rhyme or even have correct meter

entering my "Peon Eon"

i spoke with Gillian Flynn once. she asked me where i got my plastic cup of free wine. "over there," i winningly replied, pointing to the wine line. she was then hurriedly hustled away from me by the event organizer.

"a hard hat?" skill issue. all these hats are easy to me.

you can boil a frog slowly and it won't notice. you can electrocute his detached legs and they'll kick. you can do lots of nasty stuff to a frog.

a big goal for a lot of rock bands when they are designing their t-shirts is to give you the impression that skeletons enjoy their music

as i was going to St. Ives, i met a real weirdo

i never understood this about twitter either: why are these companies writing so much code? they should be in maintenance phase. they shouldn't be doing anything but fixing bugs, the product is already done. any new features should not be requiring tens of thousands of lines of code.
