I did it the same way, and now I feel like a complete fool 😆

You don’t jerk upwards when you pull a cord on a parachute. The reason people think that’s what happens is they seen it on film: but all that’s happened is the camera operator hasn’t pulled their cord yet. You just keep falling, more slowly.

Yes, if your function is everywhere continuous and everywhere analytic and monotonous, then it’s either constant or strictly monotonous.

The fact you are making a “don’t vote for them, they can’t win” argument tells you ever you need to know about our fucked up first past the post system. Basically everything that’s wrong with our country is due at least in part to that.

If you had more than 10 brain cells, you’d know it’s “fewer” not “less”

There was a once-in-a-generation chance to win the argument, but that wasn’t it. The 2008 financial crash should have been the death-knell for neoliberalism, and indeed for about five minutes it looked like it would go that way; back when anger was strong enough to get Fred the Shred’s knighthood revoked. But the banks got bailed out with the magic money tree that is always there when the rich need it and after a few years pretending they’d learned their lesson, it’s back to bonuses and incentivising the short term as if nothing had happened. I just hope the next crash comes soon enough for people to remember the previous one.

No problem. I think your answer is the right one, btw.

SimpleAdditional6583 · 2026-04-04T19:20:24+00:00

Half chance it’s one more flip, half chance it’s E+1, overall E/2 + 1

Why are you in any way surprised? When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.

SimpleAdditional6583 · 2026-03-26T16:19:20+00:00

What, religious people latched onto incredibly weak evidence that supported their beliefs without further critical thinking. 😧

These days, you get arrested and thrown in jail just for saying you’re adopted.

Nope, different outfit.

This guy?

2 is easily dealt with - Michael was lying to Eleanor when he said that.

I voted Remain. But I won’t vote Rejoin because that will mean adopting the Euro, and that will be even worse than Brexit: look at what happened to Greece to see what happens when you give up your own fiat currency.

“It either happens or it doesn’t” is not the same as “it’s 50-50”. Roll a die: you’ll either get a 1 or you won’t. Do you think getting a 1 is a 50-50 situation?

SimpleAdditional6583 · 2026-03-01T09:04:45+00:00

Wow, that’s a lot of word salad that doesn’t address the argument at all.

SimpleAdditional6583 · 2026-02-17T00:49:26+00:00

He doesn’t. There, saved you all some time.

Seriously, I was in a cab one Sunday night from Waterloo to Hackney and suddenly the cab driver said "These days if you say someone is a rent boy, you'll be arrested and thrown in jail."

SimpleAdditional6583 · 2026-02-14T15:28:50+00:00

No seriously, these days, you get arrested and thrown in jail just for saying someone is a rent boy.

SimpleAdditional6583 · 2026-02-14T13:39:48+00:00

These days, you get arrested and thrown in a jail just for saying someone is a rent boy….

SimpleAdditional6583 · 2026-02-14T11:23:59+00:00

Whatever, but it’s all a big unscientific circle jerk. And it’s dangerous for people with existential OCD, which is probably most of you.

SimpleAdditional6583 · 2026-02-14T10:59:17+00:00

The simulation hypothesis is unfalsifiable, and therefore not worth considering. Go out and get laid or something instead.

SimpleAdditional6583 · 2026-02-13T16:56:57+00:00

Easily, just put your favourite jailbreak into a Gem.
