I could just walk along one side of the square town and tell ya, why do all this crap? 😂

I’m certain it would be less than 1789 paces to do so.

@StoneCold316 way to be in the spirit of things

That's complicated but i think 2 dimensions

Hahha sorry. I just finished playing a an FPS game for 2 hours online. Not very ‘deep’ right now - just wanna point n shoot

@jiggu badmash Haha - don’t get time to watch much anymore

> There is a square town of unknown dimensions. There is a gate in the middle of each side. Twenty paces outside the North Gate is a tree. If one leaves the town by the South Gate, walks 14 paces due south, then walks due west for 1775 paces, the tree will just come into view. What are the dimensions of the town?
@BobbyMack
That's actually an unsolvable problem, that's likely intended to add a missing parameter stating that the town is NS/EW aligned. If so it's possible to create 3 triangles where the NW corner of the town is the division of hypotenuse of a single larger one defining the tree coming into view, and solve them for city edge length. (too lazy to bother now; that's not complex, just a nuisance to work through) If the town isn't aligned on a cardinal points grid, the rest of the dimensions don't allow a solution.

What are two conditions when 2+2 DO NOT equal 4 ? How many other conditions for that to be true exist? Why?

@everyone there will be no livestream today on YouTube, but please don't let that stop you from engaging. 🙂✌

oh, you can come for speaking to voice chat

Matt Inman of The Oatmeal prompted Sarah Donner to write his works a theme song, "The Fucking Pterodactyl". What kind of music might be fitting for Zach Weiner-Smith of SMBC, or Randall Munroe of xkcd?

a hint to one of the math thought teasers above: When does 2+2=0 ?

(2+2)*0=0

(hint 2: pre-calc/trig should make some of those easier, but they're answerable with a strong 4th grade number systems knowledge, unlike what bad schools often deliver.)

> (2+2)*0=0
@emile
Not the same equation, when one adds a term.

Okay tell me what is the oldest tample in the world @LokiV

@LokiV the problem is solvable. You will be lead to a polynomial of degree 5, with 4 extraneous solutions and 1 real, positive solution

@BobbyMack
Only if a grid alignment parameter is added, that's missing. And that's the composite of the 3 right triangles I mentioned, based on a city edge variable and partial/full hypotenuse elements, and the step offsets, stacked from a series of basic Pythagorean theorum elements.

What does a grid alignment parameter mean?

Oh I see what you're saying, it assumes that we are using the conventions of north, south, east and west, yes. I didn't think that had to be specified

@everyone YouTube has slapped me with a 1 month advertising ban.. I am fighting it. No specific explanation given... Social Extremism is staking its claim... we must resist cancel culture. It is moving the goalposts further.

Blame that on frauds in the US legal and political systems.

Scams like Facebook and Amazon have perpetrated enough criminal acts so they should just be summarily shut down. An Alphabet (Google parent) is so huge and prolific, it's overdue to subject it to the neutrality obligations of some mix of "public accommodation" and utility, with quasi-government civil rights mandates, not private business entitlements to operate arbitrarily. The editorial tampering policies of all of the above are used in ways that none should qualify for the DMCA "safe harbor" immunity all of those and more claim, absent lawyering frauds to pretend content based speech censorship isn't that, under dishonest "community guidelines" designed to reflect some mix of corporate profit plans, or management prejudices.

Those are big changes to some pretty powerful profit and power centers, in major institutions. They're even messier when absurdities of US law are extended globally.

That's not just Cancel Culture - it's far worse. How many US politicians do NOT use Facebook or other criminal channels for self-promotion? How about judges, or agency policy setters? Would Canada ban US corporations that conspire in genocide, fraud, or human rights violations from financial activities affecting its citizens, or crossing inside its borders, financially, or technically? Even if it did, what enforcement is possible?

As one of the other drivers making that worse, how about the use of universities to indoctrinate a warm and fuzzy marketing scam attitude towards largely female, Cancel Culture riddled MeToo snowflakes, in ways that illegally oppress the very speech such institutions exist to foster? Why did The FIRE sue hundreds of US universities for illegal discrimination or Federal funds misuse over related policies, and how do those schools socially normalizing such practices in the minds of students tamper with perceptions of civil and human rights, or free speech, for decades to come?

i played @Tiago Rodrigues in chess earlier today and we both enjoyed it, anyone else who wants to play on this discord let me know!

Speaking of Canada, is Rushton's university projects depository of race & IQ data still available openly? How much of Jordan Peterson's medical issues are from stress maliciously imposed on him by bad actors trying to squash intelligent speech? Prior to the Barry Diller empire then led by Sammy Yagan taking over Plenty of Fish into the IAC/I illegal monopoly overdue for prosecution as such, to how may people were Marcus' Canadian political prejudices obvious, versus the Haavaad/Stanford ones of OK Cupid at al?

Stepping back, is it more appropriate to approach ad funded speech content discrimination by trying to change the ad targets momentum in larger societies, or to restrict the mega-corp platforms from pandering to discriminatory prejudices, real or imagined, and regardless of how that may or may not impact the revenues when users are monetized, in what really aren't "free" platforms, but ones were a modern form of human slavery are the tokens in use? Or, if conditionally both, on what conditions or with what dividing lines?
