I just think math proofs should be formatted like green text

>be me, a rational that squares to make 2

>be expressible in the form a/b for positive integers a, b where gcd(a, b) = 1

>rewrite this as a² = 2b²

>find that a² is even and so a is even

>write a = 2k

>simplify to b² = 2k²

>find that b² is even and so b is even

>realise that a and b share a common factor 2, resulting in a contradiction

>fucking disappear

>looking for a new number modulo p

>ask if number, n, is zero or unit

>she doesn’t understand

> pull out illustrated diagram explaining unit means another number multiplied by it makes 1 mod p and zero means it is zero

>she laughs and says “it’s not zero or a unit”

>take set of multiples of n

>closed under addition, so subgroup of integers mod p

>1 not in the set, as n not a unit

>aha! set is smaller than p

In 2023, some My Nintendo members received emails on their birthdays, featuring a group of Toads, that were supposed to contain a special reward of 300 Platinum Points.

However, some regions were exempt from this promotion, but for an unknown reason, instead of simply not receiving the email, the users received emails that appeared to contain a gift but then apologized for the offer not being available. In addition, the message contains a typographical error, spelling “is” as “in”.

vacuously-true:

Every time an app gets an aesthetic/organizational update a lot of people flip shit, can’t actually name anything they hate about it besides that it’s different (or say a bunch of complicated shit that sounds like actually informed design opinions, but isn’t, and boils down to “it’s different”) and then within a few weeks get used to it and chill out.

(Bonus points for trying to coordinate mass ways to punish the app owners/designers/employees that basically amount to annoying the shit out of them, wasting their time, or fucking up their data, all of which make their jobs harder, which makes improving the app and responding to legitimate concerns harder.)

Can y'all knock it off? Can we all try taking a week to try something before deciding we hate it? And if you do still decide you hate it, figure out why for REAL (this setting is harder to find, this functionality got lost but I really needed it and there’s no alternative in the new setup, et cetera). And then be mature about submitting useful and constructive feedback that devs can actually work with? And not flooding their feedback with unconstructive things making it harder to find the things they need to find?

I feel like we’re getting into a “kid who cried wolf” situation. If we make the biggest fuss every time anything changes, including over stuff we would really adjust to just fine in a week or two, and make devs’ lives miserable over it, they’re not going to be able to tell when they change something in a really bad way. Because we react exactly the same. How are they supposed to interpret user feedback when it’s always such a mess?

Every app is going to look different every so often. It’s going to get updates based on the feedback people have provided since the last update and evolving ideas about what structures work best. If we want the next update to be BETTER we need to be serious about submitting SERIOUS feedback the devs can actually work with. Not stuff that makes it harder to find important feedback. Not stuff that makes it harder to tell what will really improve people’s experiences the most.

I’m not saying everyone upset about one thing or another is wrong so don’t come at me about your least favorite thing about the update and how I’m an idiot for thinking it’s okay. I’m just saying a lot of people are upset before even having had the time to decide what they’re upset about and a lot of people are trying to “take action” in ways that will probably make things worse.

Just like. Think about it. Are you mad because something is different and you’re not used to it yet? Are you mad because someone else said they’re mad so you figure you should be too? Think about it for a minute. Try it out for a few days. Still mad? Cool, see if you can articulate it in a coherent way and submit feedback. Post about it if you want, but ask whether you’re making a constructive or useful post, or just trying to get other people riled up. Want to coordinate a mass effort to fuck with the people who run the app? Maybe think about whether it would actually incentivise them to make the changes you want.

Just. Think. Please. Before we lose the trust of every app team that WANTS to listen to us can’t trust feedback anymore because we choose not to say constructive things and just try to fuck with them. Like I’m so scared that legitimate concerns will be lost in the flood of “I’m having fun being angry on the internet” and devs will never be able to find it and respond to it. And then they’ll just give up.

Husband has discovered you can mail Kraft singles so he sent these out

I made him write “do not eat” because they are not shelf stable. I also decided this was a him-project and if he gets arrested by the USPS Cheese Crimes Council I’m not part of it but if it goes over well I’ll jump in and claim partial credit.

Here is what he took to the post office:

They began arriving this week. Here is our thread with my MIL. (She’s Blue, my husband is Red)

She is amazing. I did not think she’d actually tape it to the Xmas card wall! (Later in Dec that whole wall will be covered in cards.) How long do we think that will last before their dog figures out how to get to it?

Cheese is so far a hit with everyone and has arrived safely at multiple houses. I take back all my criticism and I’m now claiming to be a full partner in Operation Hand-Krafted Card.

@laid-back-at-lunchtime’s card got commentary from the mail lady?! Very glad she found it funny and doesn’t hate us. I was actually kinda worried we were gonna ruin the postal services’ day so this made us very happy.

The last text is sending me. 😂
