PSU you is the other part you don’t want to cheap out on… Guess you got two lessons in one there.

TFT is and always will be The Frozen Throne.

I don’t think mead holds water either.

You require more.

Joke’s on you, I alread downloaded it.

I still maintain that quats are the closest you can get to an actual lovecraftian horror in real life. I mean, they were carved into a stone bridge by a crazy mathematician in a fit of madness. How more lovecraftian can you get?

Damn, this is more complex than I thought.

I always thought the tree falling in the forest thing was an inpenetrable koan from the depth of ancient philosophy, but it’s actually a pretty simple tool to highlight the difference between sound as a physical thing and sound as perception, two related but different concepts for which we only use one word, hence the confusion.

how the fuck did we go from throwing sharp sticks to utterly deranged sentences like that? More importantly why do utterly deranged sentences like that accurately describe our universe and what is the next ludicrous math concept we’re going to discover is integral to the function of the universe?

You need 3Blue1Brown in your life.

Ever since I went down a particularly nasty rabbit hole and came out with a tenuous grasp on quaternions, imaginary numbers started feeling very simple, familiar and logical.

Are they as real as real numbers though?

Yeah. The “United” ones are pretty high up.

Ah, I work in an actual library, so that would get confusing.

I call all pirate websites Pirate Bay. It’s easier.

Also I prefer the flowers to the pistol.

I’m guessing a combination of knee-jerk “astrology bad” reaction combined with “I’m not gonna read that wall of text”, though yours actually dwarfs mine. Nice read, btw!

As long as we’re talking an actual horoscope, not the lazy bullshit that you find in newspapers, you have a large number of variables with intricate relationships and various degrees of importance. These can be interpreted in various ways - often completely opposite, meaning any given configuration can fit most if not all situations of one’s life. This is the same for other kinds of divination - tarot, palm reading etc.

The trick to reading it is to focus your conscious mind on the rules and leave your subconscious to pick among the ambiguities according to a deeper understanding of your situation free from conscious biases (or, when reading for others, picking up on subtle cues that you wouldn’t notice or interpret correctly consciously). You basically lean into the illusion that you’re reading the horoscope in the one possible way according to the rigid rules while you’re actually tapping into your subconsciousness to pick on things that would otherwise either not occur to you or which you’d rationalise away.

It works surprisingly well even if both parties are aware that this is the approach the reader is taking, much like the placebo effect works even on people who know what placebo is. It will, of course, not tell you about future events, but it’s a great tool to look into a particular situation, work out your feelings about it and perhaps even suggest a good way of dealing with stuff.

Anyway, in space it would work exactly the same as on Earth since the input data is largely irrelevant to the divination, though being aware of the extra impossibility could affect the reading, so if you find yourself in deep space, I’d definitely recommned using tarot instead.

Fake news. He has no heart.

Those are all annoying, but is there a song that samples the discord notification sound though?

You bastard!
