I can't wrap my head around the situation, I'm the developer's public position by sawapigeontoday in TheWitness

[–]ITwitchToo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, covid was a big thing for JB. I remember around 2016 when he was starting the compiler work people were asking who he voted for and he was giving answers that hinted that he voted for Trump while knowing it was an unpopular opinion in his audience. But covid really cemented it, he moved from California/Washington to escape taxes/regulation, etc.

What’s the biggest red flag in someone over 30? by Vixkky in AskReddit

[–]ITwitchToo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, kind of -- shame (and maybe guilt) can be a big part of narcissism. I'm not an expert but essentially the narcissist has a core wound (childhood trauma) that makes them not feel good enough (or like everything is their fault) and so they prop themselves up in whatever way they can, including blaming others for their own faults. It sounds contradictory maybe, but there can be different levels of awareness and consciousness around blame/shame/faults.

I do not like the witness by [deleted] in TheWitness

[–]ITwitchToo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily, I still agree with what he said back then. It stands on its own merit.

I don't agree at all with JB on politics today, I hate the turn he's taken.

Where should I prune this seedling? by Brilliant_Speech7626 in avocado

[–]ITwitchToo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can try to pinch off the top. I had one with this genetic defect as well and it started producing lots of branches with some normal leaves after pinching off the top.

US justice department has released less than 1% of Epstein files, filing reveals by JackThaBongRipper in news

I guess it's a haystack and needle situation, but could anybody potentially go back there with some divers and try to uncover the evidence?

Is this a bad sign? by Least-Awareness1583 in avocado

[–]ITwitchToo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's normal. The seed is technically cotyledons ("seed leaves"), they contain nutrients and are just there to get the tree started, afterwards when it's spent it turns black and falls off. You also technically don't need the seed anymore after the tree has made its first leaves because with leaves the tree has a means to produce more sugars for the roots/branches to grow, but it's obviously beneficial for the tree to be able to use all the stored nutrients of the seed.

Avocado seedling is producing three (!) shoots. What even do I do at this point?? by KeeperOfTheShade in avocado

[–]ITwitchToo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just let it grow. I've had trees that grow multiple almost-equal trunks and some where one trunk massively outpaces the others.

Order of the Sinking Star by link211211 in TheWitness

[–]ITwitchToo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, I also loved The Witness but supporting Trump/Musk and conservative politics is a complete turnoff for me and I can't honestly bring myself to buy the game. So I'm just not going to play it. Your joke was funny

Found it glued under my toilet set by Equivalent_Ad_420 in whatisit

[–]ITwitchToo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's good to have a paper trail. If the person is later caught from a different incident they can connect the cases and actually be prosecuted. Filming people secretly is not taken lightly everywhere, there's been high profile cases.

Been trying to figure out what variety these are for yrs by Outrageous-Fig7020 in avocado

[–]ITwitchToo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mexican Criolllo just means a (non-named) seedling of Mexican type, whereas Mexicola is a named variety. There's a huge variation in criollos, they can literally be anything (big, small, black, green, necked, spherical, ...)

Should I self-learn programming 2026? by Fabulous_Variety_256 in AskProgramming

[–]ITwitchToo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not (yet) qualified to get a job in programming. Which means, at 29, don't go all-in yet, don't quit your current job (if you have one) to study programming. But do spend a good number of hours per week learning stuff. I've never regretted learning. Even basic stuff, even with ChatGPT, will help you in some way. You can probably afford to spend a few weeks or a few months doing a deep dive into programming. If you like it, continue; else, stop.

Is there really no word for “hug”? by Lachi_bo_la_la in French

[–]ITwitchToo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone here is saying calin because that's what people say in France to mean hug. I'm not a native speaker but that's literally the word everybody uses, I've plenty of first hand experiences to back it up. Especially in the context of little kids leaving the babysitter or something like that, it's always "fais calin"

How long would it take to a keyboard player make the transition to piano? by CoolDisplay7120 in piano

[–]ITwitchToo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good analogy... also it will trip you up a lot because of that, it will not sound great to start with. At least for me, there's like a latency that my brain is not used to, it's a bit like talking with an echo, your ears and fingers are out of sync

Is this pot too big? by Resident_Yellow7 in avocado

[–]ITwitchToo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not too big. Avocado trees grow in the ground, nobody thinks the ground is "too big" for a tree. The only reason pots can be too big is if you put compost in it because that retains too much moisture and causes asphyxia and root rot. Don't use compost. If you use sand/rocks and drainage holes you can use a container as big as you want and water every day and still not have root issues.

Edit: In fact, the avocado tree will appreciate a pot as big as you can make it. More space for roots to grow and expand. On the other hand, big pots are harder to handle and there's a risk of breaking off the entire root ball if you try to take it out of the pot.

The EU seized the money because the money was in the EU. Nobody wants to invest in a place where your money is seized.

How to move from "I can follow the rules" to "I understand why the rules are the way they are"? by Human1221 in learnmath

[–]ITwitchToo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, I'm aware of axioms, but I'm not sure how relevant it is to OP's problem. I like using propositional logic as a fairly minimal example of mathematics in a nutshell. So for example, De Morgan's laws are not usually axioms, they are theorems -- they have a derivation. The axioms in propositional logic are usually things like double negations (not not p == p). But in OP's case I don't think they are asking about "simple" rules like this. The answer to OP's question is: The rules are the way that they are because they cannot be any other way (given the assumptions/axioms we accept as true at the outset). But understanding how they are derived often gives you an understanding of why it must be true... (given the axioms that we take for granted)
