    Never, in any engineering field, have I EVER seen anyone simplify pi to 5. For that matter, I have never seen anyone simplify to 3. It is always 3.14. I feel like pi simplification is a weird meme that people think engineers do but is never practiced anywhere.

    It’s like if there was a meme about chefs saying they always replace eggs with grapefruit. No they don’t, and it’s nonsense to think they do.


  • 18-25 has always, and will always be, the demographic with the lowest voter turnout. By a significant margin. Nearly every election, people seem to get this idea that “This time it will be different! The youth are really fired up this time! It’s important, so I’m sure they’ll turn out!” And then the election happens and they never even break 50%.

    It’s not a messaging problem, or an outreach problem. There is essentially nothing that can change it. The issue is, and say it with me; 18-25 has always, and will always be, the demographic with the lowest voter turnout.

    Haven’t really been following things super closely because it’s like looking into the sun, but are you talking about the famine they are causing, or the IDF killing people at food aid sites, and just calling that the Hunger Games? Or are they actually gathering groups of two children each and putting them in an arena with weapons in the center and having them fight to the death?

    I ask because you said LITERAL Hunger Games, which implies it’s more than just the famine or the aid site murders.
