The paradox I'm referring to is here. Essentially the problem is that it seems to be possible to prove any statement by using the following structure:
If this sentence is true, then Germany borders China.
“[Questionable Idea 1] Exists Or [Questionable Idea 2] Does (Or Does Not).”
Nature Exists.
[Questionable Idea 1] exists in Nature and is Natural.
[Questionable Idea 2] cannot (or can) be found in Nature, and is therefore Unnatural.
As part of Nature, [Questionable Idea 2] has (or has no) part of the Unnatural.
That which cannot be found in Nature is Unnatural and therefore Non-Existent.
[Questionable Idea 1] exists in Nature therefore [Questionable Idea 2] does not.
“God Exists Or I Do Not.”
Nature Exists.
I exist in Nature and am Natural.
God cannot be found in Nature, and therefore is Unnatural.
As part of Nature, I have no part of the Unnatural.
That which cannot be found in Nature is Unnatural and therefore Non-Existent.
I exist in Nature therefore God does not.
“Fake News Exists Or I Do Not.”
Nature Exists.
I exist in Nature and am Natural.
Fake News cannot be found in Nature, and therefore is Unnatural.
As part of Nature, I have no part of the Unnatural.
That which cannot be found in Nature is Unnatural and therefore Non-Existent.
I exist in Nature therefore Fake News does not
So to simplify explanations, it can be phrased as <this sentence is false or ayn rand morality is best morality>. This is because the OR operator is intrinsic to euler diagrams, and the conditional is functionally equivalent in this case.
First to illustrate the whole leap this is about, we'll consider the liar paradox by itself. This sentence is false. The truth of it is the falsity of it, A = ~A, worlds in which A are the world in which ~A, (worlds -> points on the euler diagram), the interior of the region of points in which A is the exterior of the region of points in which ~A. What does that say? It says the liar paradox is a klein bottle - defining the whole of space as a 1-valued logic for the evaluation of A, whether you take it to be the border of A in a 4-dimensional euler diagram, or just allow it to force the plane of the euler diagram to actually be a klein bottle or mobius strip where you could draw a loop whose inside/outside are the same. Fun, right?
So in the original case, it's not involving a self-contained liar-paradox because it refers to the whole sentence including the conditional. Start with the OR anyway; A OR B is the completely filled venn-diagram. Though region A (this sentence is false) is defined as the region in which A OR B is false (outside the venn diagram), thus it leaks outside (same inside outside border trick as before), and the venn diagram containing it with it. That leaves the result as the coverage of B (ayn rand philosophy is best philosophy) as before OR the 1-valued result over the entire space - which because the venn diagram itself shares the 'border leak' of A, means the result also collapses to the one value tautology - exactly equivalent to the original liar paradox - so it effectively says absolutely nothing. Alternatively you could think of is as the union of the region defined by the klein bottle and a bubble for expression B, which even if the surface intersected could only redundantly cover part of the region already covered by the bottle.
In any event, the original NST treatment manages to on one hand have the statement expand the space becoming a tautology, then on the other hand have the A expression become false, forcing B to apply to regions outside it's original designation - which is obviously ridiculous.
Why? Because topological interpretations and manipulations are best interpretations and manipulations.
Anyhow, It's glenlivet tonight. Should I look at yablo's next?
I should preface this by clarifying that she's not a wrestling fan in the traditional sense. She's a fan of good television, and she believes wrestling can be good television, yet if I don't suggest a match or watch a show with her, she doesn't watch it at all. After 2+ months of NXT 2.0, she's gained a sense of who's who, what's what, and where they're trying to take the show. That's fine by me, I'm done trying to get her into wrestling the way a wrestling fan is. That being said, she has quite strong opinions on it all, so it seems right to share them, the thoughts of a true "casual" fan in an age where CM Punk thinks they don't exist anymore.
From what I can tell, she doesn't have a particular feeling about styles of wrestling. Hardcore appeals to her, but simply because it's the easiest wrestling to compare to a fight scene. Comedy too, as her favorites outside of NXT 2.0 are comedic (Dude Love, Toru Yano, and Curry Man.) Technical, big man, high flying, it's all fine with her. Her taste in wrestlers is similar, though she’s generally more engaged by women.
Favourite Men:
- Joe Gacy and Harland:
She loves Gacy plenty on his own, but putting him with Harland adds something. "Auschwitz Survivor and his woke grandson kill people" was her exact comment. In hindsight, it doesn't surprise me that Joe is her favorite. We're both fat nerds who love good tendies and good storytelling, and as much as people like to say otherwise, Gacy tells a fantastic story.
2.Kyle O'Reilly & Von Wagner: From the moment she saw Von Wagner jump into Kyles locker to shield him from the wet british melts, she knew there was something there. As the weeks went on, this duo started to solidify themselves to her as some of the most entertaining characters on television.
Kyle, a grizzled veteran at only 34 years old. Technician standout with a comedic streak turned PG Joker turned bitcoin invester. She's never not liked Kyle, but in NXT 2.0, he's soared to her. She especially likes that he just does what he wants, including challenging Karrion Kross and doing coke in the woods with Von Wagner
Von Wagner. In her words, "The Doomguy of being a Minnesotan." He has an absolutely indomitable energy that she loves. Von Wagner almost appeals to her like a Better Call Saul character more than a wrestler, but his wrestling catches her eye as well. His promos were an instant highlight of any Dynamite. Favorite moment is when Kyle started punching him, and his reaction was K

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

Not too long ago, I had a brief vacation to Portland, Maine. While there, I sent a good friend of mine, a resident of Oregon and big Trailblazer's fan, a jestful text about being in Portland, and that we should catch a game. Immediately, it sparked a thought in me, wondering whether that was possible for every team in the league. Over the next couple days, I contemplated it, occasionally looking one up, just to satisfy a curiosity. But, eventually the dam broke, and after a talk with said Blazers fan, I convinced myself to solve it once and for all, and as a Computer Science student with a little too much time on their hands, let's make the computer do it.
However, I had one concern: I didn't wanna have to reorganize all the divisions, and possibly have a massive imbalance of locations. I gave the likenesses one stipulation, each swap must be to a city of the same name, but in a state that already had an NBA Team. Meaning the Trailblazers couldn't move to Maine, as the Augusta Lobsters have yet to leave my alternate fantasy reality, and join the NBA. I also had to make sure that states only got as many new teams as they had old ones. We'd be putting only one new team in Oregon, but we'd put four back in California.
I spent hours of doing maths out on paper, reading my notes on algorithms from previous classes, StackOverflow, and devising a backtracking technique to pick a unique place in every row of a 30x30 matrix, and eventually I had a godless python script, and my answers in a text document.
After 3.8442 seconds, the computation was done. It wasn't a perfect job, but without further ado, here are the results:
(Top to bottom is ordered by least alternative city-name options, to most.)
- Indianapolis Pacers move from Indiana, to Indianapolis, Oklahoma. Your new home town has a population of zero, and the only other place with the name Indianapolis in the US or Canada.
NewOrleans Pelicans move from Louisiana, to Orleans, Massachusetts. We've dropped the New, because it's implied in the "New England" bit. Pelicans aren't native to the cape... but did make the news after they stopped by during a hurricane. It's as good a pretense as any to name a team.- Orlando Magic move from Florida, to Orlando, North Carolina. Despite being labelled as a "populated place" on the only sources of its existence I could find, said population doesn't seem to be an easy metric to find. Maybe they can do some magic and populate the place.

- Gold mine for ez monies
- Hussite = Deus Vult on everyone
- Hussite = even cheaper culture conversion
- Hussite = -10% Warscore cost against other religions (everyone)
- PU over Hungary
- PU over Poland/PLC
- The Ottomans will ally you and help you beat the HRE, Hungary and Poland into submission
- Multiple "until end of game" modifiers from missions (+1 Missionary vs. heretics, +1 TotF, -5 Sepratism, -15% Diplo Annex (yes, they stay after reforming into Prussia)
- Good ruler to start the game.
- Starts as an Elector and stays part of the HRE even after forming Prussia (better than Teutons or Poland forming Prussia)
I have spent the whole Saturday testing out different approaches to forming Prussia. The most limiting factors to an enjoyable game are AE inside the HRE, being unable to join the HRE easily (as Poland) or staying part of the HRE when reforming into Prussia.
Brandenburg is insanely shit with the new National Ideas and the mission tree depends on the Teutons giving you provinces, which might happen after a few days, 15 years or possibly never in case of Poland annexing the provinces you need for your own missions to work. (I deem this to be a typical Paradox design problem, "hey we got this cool mission but it depends on an event in another nation happening, or not")
Bohemia starts in a comfortable spot without anyone around who can threaten them directly at game start. Austria will nearly always ally you and in the rare case they rival you, then you can ally Poland instead.
The best case is if you can ally Austria so they do not ask you to return unlawful territory AND ally Poland as well for a "non HRE Ally", who you can curry favors with to call into wars against HRE countries. If Poland takes the PU over Lithuania they are the perfect battering ram to squash early opposition in the HRE.
The first move must be to fabricate claims on Brandenburg, then Wolgast and then the Teutonic Order. Call Poland into all wars to keep then busy and create a truce for them with the Teutonic Order.
Just take Danzig and Königsberg from the Teutons. In a second war vassalize them. This way the AE will never get too high and no coalition will form against you.
In another small war take 1 or 2 provinces from Saxony to get enough development of Saxony culture, then use those provinces as a starting point to convert all czech provinces to saxon culture and then culture shift. Thanks to Conversion cost reduction from Hussite it is feasible even
