Anons have always shaped and subverted the discourse. Several founding fathers wrote as anons, including Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Paine. The ideas matter far more than the identities and credentials. Doxxers are a nuisance, just like the redcoats.

Are you really "The Pi Guy?"

Expand full comment

Nah. There's a bunch of us out there and I'm kinda a minor Pi as Pis go.

I don't even know the Secret Handshake yet. *shrug*

Actually, it's just a *holds thumb and forefinger 1/2" (that's 12 mm for those of us in The Metric System) apart* _teeny_ bit more hand shakes than that.

Maybe you should become the Pie Guy, because everyone likes pie.

Well I am sure certain groups hate Apple Pie because it is "American."

I believe in pie diversity - apple, peach, blueberry, coconut, banana, and even rhubarb, an underrepresented pie.

Do you draw the line at meat pies?

I am Inclusive when it comes to Pies.

These people https://pouletfresh.com/ make an incredible Chicken Pot Pie.

It depends on what's in the pie.

On a proper flaky crust, there are many things that will finish the ensemble.

Nah. It's a lot easier to blend in when I'm just a Regular Pi Guy.

I eschew the limelight.

Ever notice on the unit circle that Pi is on the left? If you were on the right would you be Anti-Pi Guy?

🤔 I hadn't thought about the implications of there being The Two of Us loose in the world.

I fear it could be something like this:

Even just one missing odd-integer multiple of Pi in the timeline could be catastrophic.

At the risk of overextending a metaphor, I’ll just say I’m here for ya, buddy! “Spock observes that the good Kirk is quickly losing his ability to make decisions and says that its the evil Kirk, that makes Kirk a great leader. … The good Kirk reaches in time and realize that they are both halves of each other and cant survive in isolation.”

That is exactly how that episode goes. *flashes Nerd Card*

And you think _that's_ overextending the metaphor:

"The World's not divided into Good People and Death Eaters, Harry."

Indeed, my wand from Orlando is Sirius Black’s. There would have been no Stag Patronus without Dementors pushing Harry to his limits. Extended!

*casually unsheathes Andúril, how it gleams in the moon-lighty night*

There would have been no Return if not for The Dead Men of Dunharrow *ponders as band name* pushing The King** to his limits.

** Not the Guy Who Left The Building, the Mysterious Shady-looking Guy in the Corner Table at The Prancing Pony.

*Casually strides past Butterbur. After casting a glance under the hill, and seeing no barrow wights, contemplates the duress that Glorfindel’s Asfaloth would endure against the Nine, crossing Rivendell’s Bruinen limit and then standing guard o’er the burdened halfling: efforts without which the one who would not be King would stride no further with purpose.

Bravo Yuri! I believe without anons in this current political chaotic dumpster fire we would be so much further behind.
