  • Throw away your vote to a 3rd party?

    Isn’t this situation exactly when you should look to third parties? There is a large group of people who are dissatisfied with the policies of Biden and who absolutely do not want another term of Trump.

    If you vote for either of them, it sends the message that you condone their presidency. If you abstain from voting then it sends the message that you don’t care about government policy and therefore, policy won’t care for your interests.

    If you are a third party voter, aren’t the big parties incentivized to try and win your vote over for themselves?

    I’m probably going to vote for Biden, but you have to wonder at what point does this diametric system break down.


  • Using two or more adjectives doesn’t imply conflation.

    The sentence “You can have a regular apple or a big green apple” doesn’t imply that green apples are big, or that big apples are green. It also doesn’t imply that big green apples are irregular outside of this local phrasing context.

    It just implies that the set of ‘regular apples’ being referenced does not include the instance of ‘a big green apple’

    I can see where the confusion is coming from, this is tricky to explain clearly.








  • Unity actually gives any class with the name GameManager a special gear icon. You cant just forgo the cool gear icon!

    (Its not too terrible from an organizational standpoint because most of the scripts are attached to game objects. MonoBehavior is a component of GameObject. For instance, you’d never have player movement in the GameManager class, you would put it in the component class attached to the player character GameObject.)

    You can also prove it a different way if you allow the use of the formula for finding the limit of the sum of a geometric series on a non-convergent series.

    Sum(ar^n, n=0, inf) = a/(1-r)

    So,

    …999999

    = 9 + 90 + 900 + 9000…

    = 9x10^0 + 9x10^1 + 9x10^2 + 9x10^3…

    = Sum(9x10^n, n=0, inf)

    = 9/(1-10)

    = -1
