A polyNOAMial Chomsky is biNOAMial if and only if it has exactly two terms.

I did not like the way that Shinji behaved (cowardly).
If I were in that position, as a a teenager, I would behaved differently (heroically).

This is why I don't like Evangelion.

Hi quality post. When will Baf abandon pokemon and make the full commitment to syntax, semantics, and logic posting?

You hear a lot these days about the GPU rich and the GPU poor, but precious little is said about America's shrinking GPU middle class.

Year ago my father told me I’d make no money with video games or philosophy. Well dad, today I am precariously employed in a non-TT position and I got 18$ winning a Street Fighter tournament.

I’m calling for a total and complete shutdown of calf sleeves at the gym until we can figure out what is going on.

Oh man there are a lot of formatting mistakes that were not in the previous version. Curious to see how many strongly worded emails this will take.

β€œWould” expresses a modal notion, and they seem to have facility with it. The next time they fuck up the difference between what is and what should/would be, you can assume they are being deliberately obtuse.

I'll get to that backlog of classics and underappreciated gems real soon. I just need to do ONE MORE run of this bullshit cookie-cutter roguelike. Then I'll be finished.

In Batman: Ninja they call the time machine β€œthe quake engine” and that is a little over the top for me.

Imagine Mad Max (monster trucks, car crashes, all of it) but in the ice and snow instead of the desert, and that’s what things are like driving on the roads here in Kentucky.

Broaden your horizons to the de re reading. Stop limiting yourself to the de dicto.

Broaden your horizons, Tim.

I prefer the secondary reading upon which it is the potential mates who have patterns invisible to humans.

Stopped reading during the 5th book. Never got to chapterhouse. Thought they jumped the shark when he turned into the worm. Made that call when I was 16 so perhaps should give it another shot.
