Sometimes things are so obvious to me I don't even think they'd be worthy of a discussion. But this is one of my blind spots, as I've come to realize over many years. For development, I've always been happy with a 13&quo

I mean... I've consistently seen people chewing with their mouth open, talking while chewing, biting their fork, and so many others, just in occidental places, and it didn't seem to bother anyone but me. so, why would it be differ

I get why you'd bring these points up. I mean, really, they could make sense. but both "green" and "tourist" points don't line up at all. to cut short lengthy arguments, just compare urbanism rules in the US an

I think it's to avoid having two sets of data points. I think the "view angle" affects the "convex amount" so that edge-view = flat and all other viewing angles "bump" the data points a little bit to give

Things like this are actually done for very valid reasons, but these easter eggs are a really neat way to do it. The reason? making an accurate map from a territory is (or used to be) difficult and takes time. Introducing fictional stuff in

I did not intent to advocate for any solution (drug-based of otherwise), just tried to say that ADHD covers a wide spectrum of situations. Some won't be able to "hack" their brain for motivation (which, btw, comes from doing
