      edit: I changed my mind

      but let it be known that I hate this song with the burning fire of (infinity x (infinity big bangs)infinity)

      edit 2: is there a mathematical symbol or expression for “infinite energy”? because that is how much I hate Faith of the Heart. Times infinity, to the infinieth power.

        Exponentiation isn’t how you get really large numbers. You want to use tetration or Tree(Tree)) or some other stupid large notation like Graham’s number.

        If you want to make the largest infinity i think you have to move into set theory where the Aleph numbers are used to show large sets including sets of infinites.

          oh wait that’s still infinity

          ahem… to the infinieth power

          I don’t care if that isn’t a thing; my hatred for that song is

        Well, at least you’re willing to participate in the fun of it. Similarly, I hate the “Macarena,” but I still did it when I was at a family wedding.

          how I really feel

          edit: wanna know the fucked up thing? I went screenshot-hunting on the googles, and I ended up finding an ancient reddit post I made. I couldn’t sanitize the rather awesome reddit account of mine because the fuckbag reddit shits banned it years ago.

          I was OkToBeTakei on reddit (among about a dozen other prolific posting and commenting usernames over 18 years, as well as mod of a few notable subs). I made the username as soon as George Take made his video saying that it was Ok To Be Takei in response to Tennessee’s “Don’t ay Gay” bill passed in, 2011. I Mae the account both in protest of the law and to honor Takaei’s stance. link to video.

          anyway, here’s the original reddit post about Miles O’Brien and this sonic scewdriver-like device, and me briefly discussing Doctor Who references in Trek: link

          I wish I could find the link from this account about a rather amazing r/DaystromInstitute essay I wrote about Dukat and another about Damar, each about 7500 words, and each that won M-5’s post of the week which I no longer have copies of. Some mod may have archives of them, but they’re now lost to anyone else. They were good.

          fuck you, reddit.
