    Sorry, you're right; it was probably dumb or unclear of me to have hyperbolically picked a number that isn't actually output by existing tests while trying to make my point. If you're curious, I got a 131 on the WISC-III at age 10

    a weird psychological artifact of getting into is that visuals from the allegedly "original" film start to look like an uncanny 3D knock-off of the 2D-animation series (which is clearly canonical)

    I think I figured out how it works a² + x² = c₁² (Pythagoras) b² + x² = c₂² (Pythagoras) c₁² + c₂² = (a + b)² (Pythagoras) a² + x² + b² + x² = a² + 2ab + b² (substitution, binomal theorem) 2x² = 2ab x = √ab

    Arguments of the form "The differences in group environments aren't large enough, empirically, in this case" can be made, but it gets really technical—I think we both want a world with more scientific curiosity, and less partisan posturing (diagram from Jensen 1998)

    Does it help my credibility at all if I was on hormones myself for five months even if I didn't actually end up transitioning??

    "she/her" wouldn't be credible: I would prefer to be a woman if I perceived myself as having the choice at acceptable cost, but since I'm not willing to make that sacrifice (I chickened out after 5 months of HRT), I also can't ask other people to change how they perceive me. 2/3

    I hadn't realized that the Ferris on the badge was meant as a pronoun-sticker placement indicator! (But you're right—notice how the Ferris-outline is another design "layer", not drawn as part of the moon scene.) VERY clever visual design!

    You don't understand! Sure, with a sufficiently robust Matryoshka backup cluster, it's cheaper to stay alive than kill—but that's just asymmetrical in the other direction! "Symmetrical" means both sides have to be the same!
