That's right.

Dub is short for win.

I took Game Theory and the professor's first name was Patrick. Some ID for something related to the course (that he chose himself) was "patmath".

Sounds like a good feature request to make.

Fun fact, Lemmy supports that kind of citation without you having to format it manually^[If you want to see how, just click the "view source" button.]. It's pretty convenient if you ask me. I mean, maybe some apps won't see it correctly, but it should work.

No, snuffles005, that doesn't mean "yzax" is a valid word for Scrabble.

Your message could have been more efficient:

  • "who say" already implies people, so you could have said "those who say" to be less redundant.
  • "do so" is needlessly making a reference to exactly what you just said. Try "They say 'tuna fish' because".
  • "someone else" is redundant because the only person that's not "else" is the person in question, and they wouldn't have heard it from themselves.
  • "the kind of people to" is redundant because you already established that they're people. "the kind who" would be more efficient.
  • "blindy follow others" doesn't need to say "others" because it's obvious that they'd be following someone other than themselves.
  • "neither of those redundancies" is also a tad redundant, referring back to the established redundancies and then calling them redundancies again.

So a less redundant version of your message:

They say "tuna fish" because they heard someone say it, and are the kind who blindly follows rather than engage in critical inquiry and actively eliminate redundancy.

Intelligent people say neither redundancy.

Of course, I'm just poking fun. I don't expect anyone to eliminate all redundancy from their speaking; some of it has use, especially in verbal communication. For example, saying "datil pepper" even though datil also refers to the pepper is useful because someone may not recognize that a datil is a pepper upon hearing it (though you'd be hard pressed to find that scenario with tuna outside of ESL.)

In one of my last CS classes, we did proofs and would use "by observation" for this kind of thing.

Formatting messed up (on my client at least.) It's 2^2^2, but it looks like (2^2)2 (without the parentheses, of course.)

Yes, the debuff is fatigue, which is also the debuff for not sleeping. So if you're a powergamer, you might as well just not sleep.

In Pathfinder, you need a feat to sleep in medium armor. As for heavy armor, you're out of luck... barring homebrew or mythic campaigns.

True story, I used to do this with a slider order I requested at the gas station every day. When they got it wrong, that was just adding some variety, which was good to me.
