  • It’s something that I really dislike on the internet.

    We lose a lot of cues because writing and empathy due to not being in same physical space. In the end we tend to assume the worst about each other and react much more agressively.

    Imho it’s kinda similar to how road rage or videogame flaming work.

    quick edit: I agree that OP’s question could be loaded otoh not that we assume it is with such a limited context.















  • iff is the shorthand for “if and only if”.

    If you said “if it is a horse it has hooves” you can infer “all horses have hooves” but not that “all hooved creatures are horses”.

    Otoh if you said “iff a polygon has 3 sides, it is a triangle” you can infer that all polygons that have 3 sides are triangles and that there are no other ways to make triangles.

    edit: This was typed by sleep deprived me, I tried to fix it.
