I almost wrote “I’m sure PG has some sort of script / program whatever the f you call it that will notify him of his handle being mentioned before I even get to my PM to him.. and well lol.
I only bumped into your edit by chance. I don't use any kind of a notification tool. I guess, I've for a long time now thought that it's a feature that the forum should natively have, and I've stubbornly refused to start making regular use of something non-native. (I'm not a very pragmatic person, on the whole, and in fact, the philosophical tradition of pragmatism is something that almost always rubs me the wrong way; on the occasions that I've found myself with the freedom to approach a problem entirely on my own terms, I've tended to lean on rationalist-inspired thinking rather than trying to cut a simpler/shorter path through to a pragmatic solution.)
I am wondering if you’ve worked on or completed some homework I assigned to you, also wondering if you remember what that was
Haha. Yeah. I know what you're referring to. You have my word that I won't forget about it. I have a mind like a steel... I forget the saying.
I’ve also got a proposal I want to run by you and Theymos. I ran it by Mitchell first (we’ve been buds for a decade now and he’s a straight shooter. If he thinks it’s shit, he’ll let ya know. He did not think it was shit lol, thankfully 😆. It’s probably not doable or something either of you wanna mess with but I think it’s valuable and would be of tremendous help to humanity/ this forum.. worst you can both say do is F off or ignore me soo 🤷♂️😁
Cool. Hit me up. Just be aware that I'm in kind of a sour mood these days, so please cut me some tone-related slack when you're reading my reply. I think I'm going through some kind of an early-midlife health thing on top of everything else. I don't know, but, my mood is all over the place, I haven't slept well in months, and clear communication is something that I now seem to suck at even more than normal. For example, nutildah contacted me in early July to ask if I wanted to be involved in his sigbanning initiative, and I politely declined to participate (on the basis that I don't believe in the technical and philosophical soundness of the approach), but that eventually led to a back-and-forth that ultimately resulted in him and I more-or-less deciding that we should just stop talking altogether (which is unusual for me; I'm more the type to keep insisting that it's possible to arrive at a place of mutual appreciation and understanding). So, yeah. I'd hate for you and I to end up in the same boat that nutildah and I now find ourselves in (that is, on the other side of a friendly conversation that somehow devolved into a moratorium on further communication).
