This is what I ended up with too OP.
It's a good job, as good as I can ever imagine having.

The only negative is the stress some people have from >>309091 , but I can tank it pretty fine since I don't care.
Job security comes from normies being unable to tolerate normies.

I just think of myself as some robot since I'm very rigid with how I talk to customers.
It's like, I got my little canned sentences that I can branch from a little depending on how things go and that's about it.
You get better at it, you add stuff to your vocabulary, expand the instruction set of your robot body or something, but all in all it's not very taxing mentally or physically.

I'm very grateful for the second half too since I let my body fall apart pretty bad.

Another job I was really good at was being a cashier.
The machine gave me the numbers for how much change to give back or how much money to take. You just move stuff from left to right or right to left.
I also just had some pretty much memorized repeat sentences I'd say to customers depending on what they say if any interaction was prompted besides hello/wouldyoulikesomeXYZ/goodbye.

Unfortunately these jobs seem to be disappearing. Cashier jobs are only like 1 / store and the rest is standing around the self checkouts 8 hours a day and running around on top of that.
Phone support jobs are getting AI replaced too for the most part.

my stepmother made me feel dumber even though I graduate college. A lot of education systems nowadays is mostly about passing the buck rather than educating students. Most people in leadership positions are assholes and will immediately test you upon meeting you to determine if you are leadership material or another lamb they can slaughter or ignore.

>I was fired a couple times because I "couldn't figure out obvious things". Basically anything that required my subjective judgement I fucked up too.
People complain about instruction manuals and guidebooks that are too verbose and treat you like an idiot, but a lot of those came about because the alternative was boomers with 40 years experience doing one thing and one thing only assuming what's obvious to them is just as obvious to the newbies that they've put zero effort into teaching.

The RU acting the role of Byzantine and collaborating with Eran acting the role of Persia contesting against the EU acting the role of the Holy Roman Empire and collaborating with Kharthage acting the role of Carthage contesting against Akkadia acting out the role of Babylon with an enslaved Israel contesting against Egypt playing out the role of the Pharaoh's Rule.

The rest of the world are non-actors who nobody cares for. Even if 600 million Chinese get massacred or 1.3 billion Indians get massacred, the unfortunate truth is, to the wider world, it just won't matter. It won't elicit anything other than 'oh, damn.', which is the worst possible reaction to the game master. No matter how technologically advanced China becomes, no matter if you bring in all the talent and production to India, no matter what happens or how, the center of attention where 'entertainment' and 'spirit' is concerned will always shift to the 7 states of Eran, EU, RU, Egypt, Israel, Akkadia, and Kharthage


That's why the game master loves them. That's why he'll strengthen them. That's why he'll bless them, and that's why he'll curse them because only by cursing them is 'entertainment' elicited. And the game masters' audience is none other than North and South America plus Australia. He doesn't care for the reactions of Korea, Japan, the 3 Naga states, China, India, Bhutan, whatever you name it. Maybe the negro Africa gives him some form of niggery amusement.
But No matter how much you distort, warp, destroy, disfigure, kill, tarnish, and set afire all the rest, it just doesn't matter. It just doesn't matter at all.
"BREAKING: 1.3 billion Indians have suddenly turned to ash!"
"BREAKING: 10 billion Chinese were just incinerated by an atomic bomb!"
What will the American audience do? What about the Australians? They'll just switch channels or flick to the next video. But if you bring up Israel, some major movement in Europe, some such theocratic / ancient memoire, it grabs all attention and focus.

>>324967
It is for this reason–the game masters' warped nature–that these 7 nations will be made powers among powers, and anyone seeking to destabilize them will be destroyed and mutilated unless the entity responsible for this objective is himself one from the 7 nations. That's the rule of the game after all: 1a. The 7 are allowed to influence one another, to a geographic point. 1b. No outsiders are permitted to blemish them in any way whatsoever, regardless of the geographic point.
So for instance, Eran can wage war against Israel as well Europe, Egypt, Kharthage, Akkadia. But China or Korea can never wage war against Israel, Eran, or for that matter Europe, Russia, and so on, no matter if these nations lay wreckage to them, for China and Korea are examples of nations outside the 7.
What is outside the 7, putting away the restriction of never interfering or negatively influencing the 7, can do as they please to one another with no limit whatsoever. Meaning, China can take control over all of Africa apart from Kharthage and Egypt, can take over Taiwan, can take over Korea, and that's perfectly fine, unless one of the 7 decide otherwise, but you have geographic limits to what the 7 can assuredly impose.
Given this logic, we can see Ladakh joining Eran proper, and we can see Kashmir–little Persia–being cleansed and becoming a direct autonomous territory of Eran, while Punjab and Sindh of Pakistan remain indirect but affiliated territories of Eran, in a still unified state. We can see the possibility of an expulsion of over 20 million people from Kashmir just for the sake of Eran, and a restoration and repopulation of the indigenous Kashmiri for Eran.
By the same logic again, we can see 'Palestinians' being evicted totally if so wished by Israel, and we can see Kazakhstan, Georgia and Mongolia being annexed by Russia.

One of the major 'curses' common to each of the 7 nations is this: citizens of them can essentially never leave, regardless of how awful things get inside. There's no passport distribution. You're locked in.
One 'favor' for the 'Game Master's audience' is this: they're free to travel, interview and film wherever they please, everywhere across the planet, and moreover can settle with no issue whatsoever anywhere in the planet except for in the 7 nations. There, they can only tour. Only them, not any of the other non-7.

Nobody is allowed to settle in the 7 nations but the dwellers of the 7. No dweller of the 7 is allowed to step outside the 7.

A Russian will never be allowed to set foot outside Russia even if there's a plague inside turning everyone to biological mush.

So Pakistan, which in actuality should just be Sindh and Punjab PK, is not a territory of Eran at all. Not an autonomous territory. Not anything. It's its own thing.
But Kashmir, not so. This becomes 'Erashmir'–Eran-Erashmir. This is the autonomous territory of Eran..
Saba is not an independent country, just an autonomous territory of Egypt.

So the 7 actors of the Game Master,
Egypt
Europa
Russia
Eran

I know this is a controversial thing to say, but I learnt about the Japanese Imperial Family, and I felt so horrible in my own stomach knowing how the Japanese Emperor can't leave, even if he wants to. And the horrible treatment of his wife for not producing a male heir.

The Japanese Government's perspective regarding the Imperial Family is extremely horrible, they worship the beautiful throne but will not let the individuals who should be on that throne live in dignity to be honest. They are not even citizens and the Japanese Government only seems them as State Property.

At least the Princesses can marry commoners and leave if they want, the Empress can be divorced, but the Emperors and Prices can't even fucking leave, every single one of their moves is monitored, they are forced to perform unnecessary rituals, etc. I honestly, will get massively hated for this but life is significantly better in a trailer park than it is the Imperial Palace.

Honestly, if Japanese really revere their emperor they should force the government to give emperor basic human rights and freedom of movement. Like this really reminds me of when I read about GITMO tbh.

The only silver lining about learning this is that I unironically have more respect for my life in the third world country where I can go where I want, eat what I want, and speak what I want.

Games you played that were not as good as the mainstream masses/reviewers would had you believe.
Also games that were recommended by "patricians", that turned out to just be games that cater to their autistic taste.

While I didn't find the gameplay or aesthetic of borderlands bad. The writing is so god damn cringy, it's like a boomer trying to write something he thinks modern teens like. After 2 hour I just couldn't stand it anymore. Gearbox were veterans and they had the backing of 2K a major publisher, this was the best writer they could get?
The deigns of banished isn't bad. It just that it felt like doing homework instead of playing a fun game. Many hours of planning, trail and error. Only an autist could think about spending the weekend for this.

>it’s not a design flaw, it’s a feature to punish you for having lost to a boss

While its clear that the devs didn't want the checkpoint to be in the boss door (they could have just done so) and for the loss to mean something, I think its very questionable how much of this punishment and this design is intentional and not just sheer incompetence of the devs, that fans try to cover up with a excuse (its not a flaw, its a feature!), especially if we look at the DS1, that exploded in popularity and influenced their later titles.

There is a lot of indication that the devs didn't had enough time and resources to properly polish and finish DS1, like a noticeable drop in quality in everything past Anor Londo. We also have things like the Capra demon boss, where it seems like they couldn't be arsed or didn't had time to make proper mechanics, so they stuffed some stunlock dogs in tiny room with the demon (that would be extremely easy otherwise) and called it a day. Later games don't seem to have many things like this.

I didn't play Elden Ring, but from what I have seem in videos, its just open world DS with a new lore, and with checkpoints much closer to the boss rooms. Really curious change.

 No.63612

For me the single most overrated game was legend of zelda Breath of the Wild.

I kept waiting for it to get good and then I realized I had finished the game and I was like holy shit that was bad. The whole world is so damn empty and filled with the same tiny tiny number of enemies and things to do. All the puzzles are brain dead except for a couple which are only hard because they did illogical things not because the puzzle was actually hard.

I also found Red Dead Redeption 2 to be boring and shitty. My issues lay with the plot and the gameplay. The actual story of RDR2 is fucking boring and shitty, despite actually good writing when it comes to stuff like dialogue. This is a rather odd juxtaposition because typically people who can write well can do the whole thing well, but not in this case. Gameplay was just a slower clunkier feeling version of every other shooter out there with some GTA elements. The world was beautiful and exploring was the only fun part of the game, but it was only rewarded with little easter eggs not really any meaningful gameplay reward so it ends up feeling aimless a lot of the time.

I was never really on board with open world games because of what you've described. The few I've played are either mostly empty, and the big world just inflates playtime via extra traversal time, or full of procedurally generated low quality shit that isn't fun to play or can be straight up broken because nobody play tested it.

it's all right. I hate cell shading, but the food and climbing mechanisms are something I wish elder scrolls had. I got filtered storming Ganon castle when I realized how much I'd have to grind to get guardian arrows, plus their aesthetic ruins the fantasy setting.

>>63613
attached is a game that is UNDERrated, but its open world done right. A lot of games like shoving a morality system, but this is one of the few games left that encourages you to act like an asshole, which I think is essential if you want to truly enjoy an open world game. Otherwise avoiding civilian casualties just makes the game tedious and frustrating.

Any moment when I am not getting dopamine feels horrible. The silence is immediately filled with disquiet. First come the negative thoughts. If you're lucky, you can gather enough focus to meditate and minimize the anxiety, but the uneasiness will still be there throughout all the breathing and mindfulness, nothing except being on the internet erases it completely. Besides I can't meditate the whole day. If there is no negative thoughts or meditation then I just drift and it's dull. It's so dull I makes feel like I am not leaving. It's like being half asleep or being drugged up. I guess the only way is really to find a different source of dopamine. Nothing will really top the internet/porn/media combo though. That's the best high I can hope for in life. Probably the closest thing to happiness I can feel even if just for a short moment. It's just not sustainable. Isn't it kind of fucked the reason addiction is bad is because it feels so good it makes you scared to face how shitty real life is?

real life becomes shitty if you consume too many things that generate dopamine dependence. you need to get back the capacity of being at peace with the simplicity of the life. See, it is about being calm and aligned with the simplicity of life, not looking for pleasure, it comes as a result of a life well lived

After hitting 30 this feeling has been eating me and I don't know how to resolve it. I started watching different youtube channels and it made me realize how much time I wasted staring at a screen when I could be experiencing the world and creating things. The 21st century offers so many possibilities and yet all I did was sit at home play video games and read inane garbage online. Now I always had depression, anxiety, social autism, adhd, average iq etc. that lead to me being an underachiever but nowadays it feels like I was just the right self-help book and meds/supplement combination and some effort away from solving all these issues.

I could start now but after hitting 30 I feel this sense of hopelessness after experiencing aging. I felt like shit in my 20s but now I realize I actually felt good. Now I tire easily and years of sitting made my body feel rusty. I feel like the youth shield is gone and I can't take the future for granted anymore and expect it to make it even to 40. Every time I experience a new pain or sensation I imagine it to be the start of something serious.

How do you deal with this? It feels like modern technology amplifies winners so if you are a loser it feels extra bad because there is such a big contrast between living with your parents and riding the bus and eating mac and cheese and living in a multi-million dollar mansion with a beautiful view and driving a ferrari and eating at 3 star restauraunts.

You dense motherfuckers. BRUSH YOUR DAMN TEETH!

Tooth pain is one of the shortest paths to hell on Earth. And don't just brush them, learn how to do it properly, and learn how to floss correctly. The sooner you start the better.

Yes, your gums will probably bleed the first few times you floss, but that's because they're inflamed from all the plaque, food debris, and bacteria that have built up over time. Healthy gums don't bleed due to flossing, sick ones do. Proper oral hygiene is cheap and easy. Dentists are insanely expensive, and living with a toothache severely affects the two best things in life: sleeping and eating.

Believe me. I know.

I've been seeing this stated over and over again where people are saying large swaths of the kids these days are literally illiterate. Do you buy this? Is it really that bad?

If it is, what do you think will be the implications for future life? Are we wizards actually going to be better off simply because we are literate, or will that not even matter anymore because AI will now do all the thinking for society? I feel like people of all generations are becoming even more like cattle just being herded around by the tech companies these days. Are the zoom zooms and alphas their final product? A permanent underclass for the elites to exploit and rape? Really if people can't even read anymore, I shudder to think what might happen.

Why don't you have a tulpa, anon?
You can cheat yourself out of loneliness by fostering a loving relationship with an imaginary friend.

Benefits of a tulpa,
>You can choose any shape or form for her.
>You will never feel alone.
>She will always show unconditional love.
>She will always follow you around.
>You can have sex without losing your virginity powers or contracting STDs.
>Costs absolutely nothing.
>Basically the 'ultimate' form of a waifu.
The only negative is the social stigma, which you can easily avoid by not revealing your powerlevel.

It was the best decision of my life. It feels so good to have someone take care of you, compliment you and physically comfort you.

I don't get you.. can you explain better? what does "maladaptive" mean?

>>229271
i mostly mean in context of:
>Maladaptive daydreaming is a psychological condition characterized by extensive, vivid, and compulsive daydreaming that replaces human interaction and interferes with academic, vocational, or social functioning.

the 'maladaptive' part comes from it interfering with those major pillars of life.

But i'm trying to construct a tulpa that is actually uplifting and motivating and supportive. And those areas of my life are already damaged so idk how 'maladaptive' it can be at this point.

>how long have you been doing it?

So far it's only been a week, still very much "forcing" it.
And the way it started working is subtle and mostly internal.
So far, the thing that is 'working' is only that i am consciously talking to HER instead of my INNER CRITIC more often throughout the day.

So having a dialogue with a nice inner voice is infinitely more encouraging than my normal unconscious mind, which only talks with my INNER CRITIC. When my auto-pilot mind runs and only talks to the INNER CRITIC, he makes me feel ashamed and incapable and more often to give up and just stay depressed.

Decided to give Hitman Blood Money a go for old times sake. Doesn't hold up as well as I thought.
My main gripe with it, is that I just don't think the missions are well-designed. For example, on the mission where you're in a suburb the guy you're tasked with killing is inside a house protected by FBI agents. Now to get inside that house the game provides you with ample choice.
You can knock out a clown and steal his disguise, or a catering guy, or a garbage man, or you can sneak around back by sedating the dog in the backyard. Even here there's choice because you can find something to sedate the dog in a nearby house or shoot it from a treehouse a house over. Sounds great right? Tons of agency, player choice, what more do you want. Well, the problem is that you can also acquire a FBI disguise right at the beginning of the mission, very easily in fact, which allows you to go anywhere you want, so there's absolutely no use for any of the other options.
In the second mission, you have to kill two dudes in an opera house. Right at the beginning of the mission one target goes on stage for rehearsal and the other target sits in a balcony and watches. What I found out, is that you can just shoot the opera singer target in the head with a silenced pistol, and throw a remote controlled mine up at the balcony and take out the other target. This way it took me literally under two minutes to finish the mission.
Now I suppose the intent is that you replay the missions, explore the environment, try different methods, get a higher ranking, etc. but to frank that's not something I care for at this stage in my gaming career. So you're just left with pretty dull and straightforward mission in what should be a very choice-laden game.
The game also doesn't really allow you to figure things out in a natural way. During the Mardi Grass level you start off in a hotel; in one of the rooms there's a guy in a crow costume which is something you need. In that room there's two succubi dancing. So what do you do? You can't distract them, so you just kind of awkwardly shoot them all and hope nobody hears, or go find some other avenue of approach.
I did exactly that, found one of my targets just wandering around a back alley, and killer her. Then I heard a guy on a walkie talkie say, that he was in "position" (the mission revolves around you preventing a political assassination). So, I went to where he said he was and easily killed him as well. Then I got tPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I played through Prey (2017). To be honest, this isn't my first attempt; I gave up on it a few years ago—I just got lost among all the options and the game's many systems, and deleted it after three hours. A lot depends on how you approach the game and what you expect from it. I thought—because I was misled—that this would be a Bioshock-style game set in space. While there are similarities, this game is first and foremost a completely unique immersive sim; if it can be compared to anything, it’s naturally the System Shock games.So my first attempt at the game was a failure; I ended up soft-locking myself. Now, years later, when I jumped back into it for the second time—more experienced and with a clearer head—it was a completely different experience from the very first moment. I approached it smartly, methodically, and tactically. And it was a completely different experience. I can say that the game completely hooked me within 15 hours.The game is beautiful; the developers have poured incredible energy into the environment, the storytelling, and the various connections between elements. Every day feels meaningful—even the story of the last NPC to die is woven into the narrative somewhere. It’s rare to come across a game into which the developers have poured so much energy and love.

>Hitman blood money
The fun thing is killing mission people like a ghost or by accidents (max points and sometimes hard), go full postal or rambo, killing by background or explosions or put venon in things and using the sniper rifle in some places (you can upgrade more and more this weapon as you get unlocks by perfect points in missions same with other weapons) and collecting the weapons or trying exploits.
Or killing every one in map if you can.
Getting the routine of npc or doing every thing perfect at time feels too good like 47 was like a killer god or a paranornal dude (he was a experiment after all)
The news paper at end of missions is very funny.
Here 47 feels like a professional killer and not like a super spy in a film with batman vision like late games.
But yes, each level is too much rigid in structure at times. The house with the fbi van was one used for demo and in short have a lot of ways to play it even without costumes. Its very fast to do.
Some maps are damn big and take more study of npc actions or even minutes to complete. Its very realistic at this and i like the details of maps bacause are in a lot of ways real life places or situations. Some ways to enter or exit or even kill are more slow or fast or even more hard or safe.
Mods and exploits make everything more fun.

I am not a full wizard yet, I am still young however even at a younger age of 24 I felt like I have already seen and done everything worth doing. I watched enough anime and movies, played enough vidya of every genre to satisfy someone for a lifetime. I scrolled enough on my phone for 4 people. Eventually I got bored of media consumption so I pursued other things like hobbies. I learned a language, an instrument and beginner coding in game dev and I felt again like it was enough. Learning things became boring, its the same baseline thing every time of encoding brain meat with specific patterns over and over. Skill progression of anything is basically the same. I got bored of those hobbies, I picked up exercise thinking it would give me more energy however after finally getting to the point of jogging a mile I stopped. I'm fine with how I look and I don't care how others see me so its as if there wasn't a motivation, just putting myself under duress without reason aside to live longer doing boring things. I quit. Eventually, I thought it was the NEET life that I became sick of, so I got a job at a gas station as well as a construction company both parttime. I was able to play my part well for a NEET of 7 years. I even got invited to barbecues and other outings and had many conversations with others. I thought that maybe finally I could fill the void but that feeling of boredom started haunting me again. Within months I was done, the jobs were all the same the people saying the same things and everyone doing the same things over and over. When you live with nothing for so long you get used to it, there was nothing I wanted to buy with my money. All of it stacked up in an account that I am now currently living off of as I left both my jobs and my relations with others. Neetdom is much easier to be bored in than a place where you stare at the time all day being bored.

I only feel as if I am wasting my life if I am bored. If I die tomorrow I would only regret the moments I felt boredom. I tried it all, jobs hobbies people exercise. None of it made me feel anything for long, it was as if I was solving a novel puzzle, it occupied my time but once it was "solved" it was just another puzzle for the pile. I don't understand, towards the end of my jobs I even started to try narcotics just to feel something but they were nothing. Mushrooms, meth, alcohol. Nothing. All I do now is learn about medicine and watch surgery videos, I find it fascinating but I know Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

What you are describing is a lack of a sense of purpose and meaning in your life.

Typically people derive this from their community and the role they play within it. Someone who starts a charity defines their purpose by helping others. Someone who starts a business defines their purpose by the things their business accomplishes for people. Other people derive it from creating works of art or new inventions. There are many ways to get purpose and meaning, all of it comes down to what you actually want to accomplish in life.

You sound like you haven't given that any thought at all and are therefore going about life all wrong. You don't seek out challenges just for some sort of character building purposes. You naturally have to overcome challenges in order to get whatever you want out of life. Some people develop a sense of what this is from a very early age. Typically these people end up being the most successful in their field. If you look into top performing athletes and stuff they will always say from a young age they desired to be an athlete in their sport. It's the same for most other stuff.

If you are naturally lacking a strong drive for yourself and your life, you just have to give it some deep thought. No one can tell you what you want out of life, that's for you to figure out.

It's become broadly harder for people to do this thanks to the industrial revolution which wildly changed how people lived their lives. We are still in a transition phase where we have changed the way we live but we still have instincts that are suited for pre-industrial life. Mostly people just had to focus on surviving, and that was the main purpose of peoples lives. For many this is still the case, but only because we have built up artificial mechanisms to mirror the act of surviving while in fact all our basic survival needs are taken care of by the vast excess provided to us by industrialized society. Now we have to pay rent and other bills so we are forced to wageslave, and for most wage slavery becomes the purpose of their life. Getting a higher wage and avoiding getting fired gives them purpose.

This doesn't work for everyone though because it is still an abstraction and if you can see through the lies of society, it just becomes a bitter pill to swallow. Ted Kaczynski talked about this some I think. For him the solutiPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I'm in a similar position that I haven't escaped so…
I don't think this will help, but I've reached a conclusion (at 30 now) that it is time to focus on output and limiting, heavily curating input.

A lot of the things you mention are still input oriented. So for example the productive hobby you mention being programing, what did you create with it?
Language, what information did you convey using it and to whom and why?
If the answer is nothing, then you just consumed information for no reason. Might as well have jerked off at that point.

I feel like personally all my bandwidth mentally has been taken up by consumption, because there is just so much stuff out there that even if I no longer get a "high" from it, it's just easier and more comforting to live in fantasy land why scrolling through manga.
Reading stuff on here is also still mostly input with no action taken based on it.

Every day there is so much stuff that gets filtered through my brain that I have absolutely no use for.
I'm trying to limit it heavily and focusing more on action, utilizing knowledge, only learning more about something if I need to and only as much as I need to get to where I want to be.

I'm also now trying to create and share my creations with others instead of just consuming what others have created.

I guess a TLDR would be that it's easy to feed endless input/information into your brain daily while barely if at all processing it into anything useful.
I feel like a lot of more competent wizards that have this weird anhedonia/burnout thing might relate. Then again, this is mostly just my subjective experience, don't want to paint you with my brush or whatever the saying is.

Recently I've become fascinated with tessellation and spent the past couple of weeks collecting pictures of mosaics from around the world. Eventually just looking at them was not enough and I want to go deeper, understand the geometric shapes and its secrets better. Not even sure why but periodic tiling feels like a brain massage to me, like I'm about to fall out of bottom of how I usually perceive the world around me. So I picked up the book Geometry by Cambridge University Press. Feel free to give a hollow laugh: I honestly thought I could just skip the math part of geometry (yes I'm an idiot) and appreciate its resulting surfaces. While you can do that, if you want to appretiate geometry even at a surface level, you need to know the bare minimum of maths. The book suggested a good grasp on the basics of linear algebra and algebraic structure. I thought 'OK, I'll read the wiki entries as a lazy primer' and quickly realized I forgot even the basics of mathematical symbols. I guess it's true after all, if you don't use it you lose it.

Long story short, I'm currently going through Pure Mathematics for Beginners. The good part of being dumb is when you learn a single thing it feels like a whole new world just opened up and it feels really good.

So yeah, maths thread.

I've been self-educating via Kahn Academy and a little bit of Google Gemini for a year now, I've made it all the way from 5th grade to highschool Geometry so far.

Alledgedly, Deepseek is the best for raw math ability, and it's got extended thinking on the free version, but I find Google Gemini is best for it's vast character-limit and ability to read PDFs and images I send well.

They're both good for conceptual explanations as you mentioned, but be very careful to not trust them to organize a full curriculum for you, as they'll leave out tons of critical lessons while telling you in full confidence they have covered absolutely everything with you. I actually just lost a week to that when I finally gave them a shot at that due to the vast drilling and bloat in Kahn Academy's Geometry class. So far I have found nothing wrong with their explanations, but this hasn't been falsified much.
