Libertarianism also calls for equal economic freedom meaning practically zero government involvement in economics basically laissez faire. Some people, for whatever reason, find that unfathomable.

Ah, so it is economically where we differ.

See, in an ideal society, we wouldn't need the government to help the less fortunate. But we don't live in an ideal society.

To ignore those suffering in our society is simply something I cannot do, all loopholes and freeloaders accounted for.

Libertarians are too socially liberal for Republicans and too economically conservative for the Democrats.

You'd like the old NDP in Canada, I think.

\ So then why does everyone have an issue with your Libertarianism? It all seems pretty reasonable to me.

Because society is gearing more and more towards big government and the acceptance thereof.

That and really, people just don't like it when you take away their free™ stuff from the government.

General Semantics (Maybe)
Removing myself from human influence
Being completely "self-sufficient"
Dissociating from social scruples? (this one's hard for me to phrase for some reason )
Chocolate dragon-girls (seriously have you ever tried looking them up?)

lol who

Ha

I didn't know if it came off as insulting cuz it implied no one else cared about you


Anyway, jokes aside, uhh...

...

hmmm....

The way commentators in sports games sound. I want to choke them.

They need to make it more entertaining than it really is

Doing the job and doing it right. No sloppy shortcuts, no bitching, and no shying away even if it means the task at hand is harder because of it.

It's easier to convey my love of mathematics than it is otherwise, but I'm not at the point where I can concisely teach people everything needed to appreciate it, and I'm well aware of how little I know about maths.

I came across pic related this morning, I think it's goddamn amazing that in trying to find the kinetic energy of any object at any arbitrary velocity, you just need to compute a simple integral - integrate force with respect to distance - but to do so you instead rearrange the it into integrating inertia with respect to velocity; and the reason why you can do that has something to do with how algebra itself is capable of generating answers to questions by virtue of setting one thing equal to another, and also how you can shuffle around infinitesimal quantities like fractions, but at the same time treat them like an operation applied to a function. And all of that is just rudimentary calculus.

Even just integrals in general are fantastic, you add up an infinite amount of infinitely small things, and at the end you get some meaningful result. So for instance you can start with an infinitely small point (zero dimensions), and if you add up an infinity of them across a line, you get a line (1 dimensions). Then if you add up an infinity of those lines in a direction perpendicular to the line, you get an infinitely flat plane (2 dimensions)- then if you sum up an infinity of planes in a direction perpendicular to the plane itself, you get a cube (3 dimensions)- AND THEN, you can say that the cube is infinitesimally small in the fourth dimension, and begin summing up an infinity of them to get some fourth dimensional hyper cube...and then you can keep going some more.

If only people could be aware of these kinds of things so they could enjoy it as much as I do.

I apologize, as much of the math stuffs you just painstakingly went over flew directly into the abyss of ignorance that is my mind. I do hope you'll forgive me for my sin, and give me some personalized lessons later on in our shared future.

I've been able to teach my grandad about the fundamentals and uses of polynomials, I can assure you that you just need a good teacher for it to sink in.

I can't wait to show you the way in which I see the world and the discoveries i've made, everything is exciting when you know why it's exciting.

Like this, most trees and bushes are just fractals, a simple pattern copied over several times at different sizes, once you start to notice them you never stop.

Scientific and historical accuracy in films, tv and games. With an already shit season of doctor who, seeing vikings with horned helmets  was enough to make me stop watching two minutes into the episode and I haven't actually seen any of the series since.

Of course, alt histories (Ex. Wolfenstein NO) or just weird science (Fallout) doesn't really rile me up in the same way as in something trying to be serious.

I feel ya, man.  Vikings with horns, two handed swords in the early middle ages, no color anywhere, castles built randomly next to a forrest... STUDDED LEATHER ARMOR eugh...those silly leather bracelets that everyone wears in Gladiator movies because ",oh, well that's a roman accessory. They don't look roman without it", torches everywhere and burning outside in the daylight...
