Plans are in motion. See you at 50501 on Wednesday.

By my estimation, of those 126: 80 are a win for X (or whoever goes first), 30 are a win for O (or whoever goes second), and 16 are a stalemate.

So the number of losing positions depends on whether you go first or second.

Good point. There’s only 126 filled arrangements that are valid game states.

There are only like 500 losing tictac toe scenarios max.

Three positions for each square (X, O, or blank), 9 squares: 3^9 = 19,683 possible game states.

Of those there are only 512 combinations where the board is compete: 2^9 = 512

Of those 512, only 16 combinations results in a win for either player. Meaning there are only 8 losing scenarios and 496 stalemate scenarios.

Sure, but novels, paintings, and songs are traditional arts, they are art first and foremost.

For over a decade every one of my wallpapers was an Aenami piece. They’re just so dang cool.

Whiteness, at least from a racist perspective, isn’t really about skin color, it’s more like a club for ‘approved’ ethnicities. There’s many Italians with darker skin than Mexicans, but Italians are considered ‘white’ and Mexicans are not. Same for large parts of the Middle East and Asia.

Romani are white skinned Europeans, but they’re not ‘racist approved’, so they make up rumors they’re actually from Egypt and omit them from the White Club.

The determination for what counts as white is highly inconsistent. Before the 1700s Germans were not considered white. Before the 1800s Irish were not considered white. For a time in the 1900s Finnish people were considered Asian (while many Finns were striking for better working conditions, what an odd coincidence). Italians weren’t considered white until about a hundred years ago. It goes on and on.

There’s evidence, but I don’t know enough of the science to tell how conclusive it is: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7139786/#:~:text=Regarding grey matter%2C the main,the anterior hypothalamus (INAH3).

Like people, but with a feduciary responsibility to gain wealth at every opportunity. Corporations are almost like vampires: they don’t need food or water, they don’t age, they have inhuman power, yet they wear the guise of people; they pass as human to make it easier to drain us of our blood, an endless thirst they feel compelled to heed.

Honestly I think it depends more on the guy than the bear. Any time you’re alone in the woods (at least in the US) it’s safe to assume you’re with a bear, that’s where they live. Most bears keep to themselves though.

People tend to be less low-key, and less predictable. To me it seems more likely that a random guy could follow you around, take your stuff, or generally make life more difficult. There’s also a higher chance for a guy to assist you and make things easier, but I can understand how the potential risk could outweigh the potential benefits.
