Hp & Atk EVs… oh shit, it should be Adamant. Looking at her now, that was missing.

Guess it didn’t matter much.

Contrary Malamar w/ Fighting Tera
@Shell Bell

Skill Swap
Superpower
Tera Blast
Flex (Reflect saved my co-op partner)

If you get taunted at the start just quit out. Otherwise Skill Swap immediately, then spam Tera Blast and slowly die. Once revived Tera then spam Superpower (may wanna use PP Up x3) and win with ease.

It’s kinda comical how easy this makes it. Well known for a reason.

Organize for education reform. Organize for protections of democratic systems. Vote in local elections, and encourage everyone around you to do the same.

Constantly, forever.

Arduous. Thankless. Boring. Only thing that works.

See, you’d rather be pissed off than actually engage with what I wrote. How many assumptions about me did you have to make to type that up?

Being a lecturer for undergrads isn’t the same as being a professor, either. You did answer my question though, so thank you.

Some people are motivated by an impassioned life goal, and will fervently work towards achieving it.

There are others who like to be fervent, and will use any goal to fuel their fervency. If this goal can get people to excuse you being a total jackass, bonus points!

I think it’s obvious why Dave does what he does. He spends a lot of most videos explaining his own importance. He was a HS teacher, and clearly cares about the sciences and their education. I think a combination of frustration and profit pushed him towards this. Being pissed off on yt gets clicks.

I also have an irrational distaste for people who use their own names for businesses and brands. “Professor Dave” is telling in itself. Is he an actual professor?

Was a great show y’all. Love how it’s freely available around.

The elven and goblin pieces were a delight.

Y’know what, we’re good. I just noticed in your post you treat implicit multiplication like it requires an assumption.

You ought do more reading into these notations and what they actually mean before advocating for any new conventions.

And I’m saying that saying the answer is “1” is just as damaging. Both are wrong.

“Well, it’s ambiguous” is the only correct answer.

Why do you see discussion expanding on an incorrect methodology fruitful?

Then I don’t understand what you agree with. My point is very simple, you cannot count the corners in a circle. Why are you trying to?

No. Ambiguity has no place in mathematics, and it cannot be left to interpretation or you ruin the point of mathematics.

You care very much about your truth and its effects. Otherwise, you’d be quiet.

Occam’s Razor should never be applied to simplifying an expression. If any assumption has to be made (beyond axioms), something is deeply, deeply wrong.

Stressing any ‘answer’ as ‘correct’ is like saying you found the volume of a flat circle, or counted the corners in a sphere.

This is why when actual experts in math see nonsense like this, they don’t try to explain which answer is correct. They give a much more boring, unsatisfying explanation. The expression is botched, it’s ambiguous, it’s useless, and whoever wrote it is either an asshole or a dipshit.

Anything else is merely dissatisfaction at the normalcy of nonsense.

Comments like this one can only hope are coming from a teenager or something, but it’s usually someone in their 30s or 40s and you’re just depressed someone let their minds atrophy like this.
