I don't think golf and tennis increases IQ

He's saying that low-class culture does not include quality education or quality influencers. Note that I'm not using influencer in the traditional sense here; I'm referring to anyone - dads, friends, acquaintances - who influences the child.

What I'm saying is that IQ tests specifically contain questions on esoteric matters that either don't matter or can't be accessed below a certain income.

I don't think this is true. It's an anti-goal of "modern" IQ tests (with a generous definition of "modern").

Lots of good reason to believe nutrition does.

Do you think she adopted her pokerface she learned it against you or was there another reason?

I think it's simpler than that: people get better at things with practice.

Werewolf isn't like poker where people typically try to conceal their emotions and leak nothing; instead you're trying to act like you're on the Villager team regardless of whether you actually are.

Remember, being a good liar means you can sniff out a lie too. It's not a terrible skill to teach if it can be wielded for good.

Maybe a mafia style game would be more suitable where both sides are played.

Do you have a Ko-fi? 'cause I would really enjoy that screensaver.

I adore this project on its own merits too because using the memory values in an emulated game is something that has fascinated me since Twitch Plays Pokémon integrated their Twitch display!

Thank you for your kind comment! I don't have a ko-fi but I will think about creating one :)

No worries, mate! When the popular narrative is "you can run Doom on a pregnancy test" your blind spot tracks.

By the bye, I know Foone hates their threads being posted here, so I won't, but I absolutely adore their hardware and software finagling. It's also made me a better developer!

This is incredibly constructive feedback!

When working on projects that meld digital and physical realities, ergonomics and aesthetics become a hyperfocus and observations like this are vital for course correcting.

Thanks, ChatGPT.

ChatGPT wouldn't have mismatched the singular/plural of "observations" and "this"

Dang, I hate being authenticated by a grammatical error.

Bruh, that's all me.

I have a hammer and am looking for a nail, but every day something sparks Marshall McLuhan ringing in my head.

The medium truly is the massage. The physical form in which information is being delivered (screen with notch) is beginning to work us over on a concept as old as the terminal.

Yeah, Yakuake; TotalTerminal; and others kept the Quake terminal flame alive, but now that game UI choice interacts with physical reality!

Which reinforces my spicy take...

Spicy take: Skeumorphism is a necessary and probably effective guard rail against tech usage unmooring us from physical reality.

Plus, this augmented reality take on the concept is taking that idea to at least eight strange new places.

Thankfully you don't see an artistic representation of a 3.5 floppy representing an app's "save" function yes-and-ing people into messiah complexes and public mental breakdowns.

All that being said, I am giving this a spin when my work laptop arrives! (Worst case I use the, mostly(?), iTerm2 functional equivalent because that worked pretty well for my needs when I set it up many moons ago.)

Thank you for providing this exhaustive and necessary context.

Nice! This will make my podcast blog to RSS generator a whole lot easier since I just need to grab some headers from the MP3 in addition to info the the page.

Good thing the ends matter more than the means.
