Right, and that clue IMO unravels the more troubling aspect of why this content spreads so quickly:

It’s deliberately aimed at people with a rudimentary math education who can be made to feel far superior to others who, in spite of having roughly the same level of proficiency, are missing/forgetting a single fact that has a disproportionate effect on the result they expect.

That is, it’s blue-dress-level contentious engagement bait for anyone with low math skills, whether or not they remember PEMDAS.

Agree but I’d add “unnecessarily” or something, because yeah many common aliases and smaller convenience functions offer meager cumulative time savings in trade for the skill atrophy, but script files can also contain seriously lengthy and/or complex logic that would simply be counterproductive to attempt typing line-by-line into a terminal without any mistakes, especially for scripts that are run often.

A repeated and inexplicable desire to do something you think you shouldn’t is often called a “compulsion.”

A compulsion to expose your inner thoughts, specifically, is often called “not having a therapist.”

Honestly that’s my pet peeve about this category of content. Over the years I’ve seen (at least) hundreds of these check-out-how-bad-at-math-everyone-is posts and it’s nearly always order of operations related. Apparently, a bunch of people forgot (or just never learned) PEMDAS.

Now, having an agreed-upon convention absolutely matters for arriving at expected computational outcomes, but we call it a convention for a reason: it’s not a “correct” vs “incorrect” principle of mathematics. It’s just a rule we agreed upon to allow consistent results.

So any good math educator will be clear on this. If you know the PEMDAS convention already, that’s good, since it’s by far the most common today. But if you don’t yet, don’t worry. It doesn’t mean you’re too dumb to math. With a bit of practice, you won’t even have to remember the acronym.

I like it because in some places it’s a common euphemism for fart that’s only used unironically by young children, so every time I hear it the twelve-year-old in me gets another cameo.

I know. I was clowning on the dude mad about the arrows by offering one of numerous other meanings outside Boolean Algebra that sounded even more absurd in that context.

OK I take most of these on the chin but I gotta push back on this one because NTs could use it too.

Every picture in the database gets OCR + fuzzy-alt-text + facial-rec + geo-location + timestamp etc etc, all of which are indexed and searchable. Yet the entries themselves are effortless to produce once you’re in the habit.

Those breadcrumbs ultimately augment your functional capacity for recall, and can help you turn an incredibly vague hint of a memory into… voila! …an actual snapshot of that thing from the past.

So it’s not some kind of magpie hoarding behavior necessarily.

It’s note-taking, receipt-keeping, evidence-gathering, and journaling that’s effortless and constantly useful.

“Just venting?” From here, it looks like you’re stirring up a mob.

You’re sowing distrust of new homeowners and working class neighbors using the exact same tactics Fox News did to rally the public against student loan forgiveness. You’re even casually spinning everything the way they do.

It seems you are the asshole, after all.

If I know the video, it is mildly disturbing mostly due to the sudden death. The stallion stiffens and collapses after the mare brains him and the person filming happened to capture a lot of detail of the dying CNS including the stallion’s face.

What, your lab doesn’t make jerky out of organs before weighing them?

Yeah many haven’t moved from R yet. And I get it. They have stuff to do IRL and the key benefit they receive contributing is exposure, so they’ll stick to publishing and maybe R and SO.

We do have some well-informed posters but there appears to be an inverse relationship between expertise and posting frequency.

Also, sorry this community is so shitty right now. Anyone can comment here and there’s no quality control, so unless your questions are sufficiently technical-sounding enough to scare away the morons, or you’re asking about specific Linux distro comparisons, you will not get any nuance here, and the high quality contributions will all be buried by these lead-brained conspiracy theorists and reactionary simpletons.

Where did the grays probe you?

The majority of “people” here quite obviously know nothing and yet are happy parroting armchair hearsay for back pats from their fellow inbred reactionaries.

The legit comments mention specific customizations like

• lulu
• littlesnitch
• lockdown mode
• advanced data protection

The rest are chuckle fucks.

He wants to be more privacy conscious but he’s not crazy about it

Then yeah, an older Mac would work just fine.

Not stuffy enough. Latin only from now on.
