I think you’re reading too much into intent here. The only reasoning that goes into these decisions is target audience. Who will buy what you are producing? When most of the comics that you mentioned were written, the perception was very much that their readers would be boys.

If there’s anything to be mad about, it’s that focus testing and demographic targeting makes for shit entertainment. It means companies are trying to make something that sells instead of trying to tell a story.

I’ve long since blocked HexBear , but will occasionally click the “show me anyway” button just to validate that decision. I’m somehow still surprised by the advanced stage brainrot every time.

I’m pretty sure cow is the species common name and bull/heffer are the sex variant terms.

You know, like how a rooster and a hen are both still chickens?

None of this has a point. We’re talking over a shitpost rant about common use of math symbols. Even the conclusion boils down to it being a context dependent matter of preference. I’m just disagreeing that the original question as posed should be interpreted with weak juxtaposition.

My argument is specifically that using no separation shows intent for which way to interpret and should not default to weak juxtaposition.

Choosing not to use (6/2)(1+2) implies to me to use the only other interpretation.

There’s also the difference between 6/2(1+2) and 6/2*(1+2). I think the post has a point for the latter, but not the former.

Honestly, I do disagree that the question is ambiguous. The lack of parenthetical separation is itself a choice that informs order of operations. If the answer was meant to be 9, then the 6/2 would be isolated in parenthesis.

Well RIP your sanity and free time. You’re going to wake up a few weeks from now after having nightmares about unsaturated belts.

Lol, this is also wrong. Replace ape with primate and you’ve got something more accurate. If you actually care about maintaining phyletic groups then apes ( and thus humans) are old world monkeys.

That’s a weird take on this. Not liking or being good at small talk does not equate with disliking the person. It certainly doesn’t mean you “hate interacting with them”.

I use the same name for most things out of habit, but I wouldn’t be too put out if it is taken when signing up for something new.
