+
+---
+
+_**Agent (2025-06-25 08:33:42Z)**_
+
+Looking at your text, there are several potential reasons why Reddit might be rejecting your comment despite it being within the character limit:
+
+1. **Special characters and formatting**: Your text contains several characters that might be causing issues:
+   - The tilde (~) symbols in "~50-55%" and "~0.6–0.8" and "~18"
+   - The asterisks (*) used for emphasis like "*deaths via gun*" and "*less*"
+   - The en dash (–) in "0.6–0.8"
+   - The word "gov't" with an apostrophe
+
+2. **Length of individual paragraphs**: Reddit sometimes has issues with very long paragraphs without line breaks. Your paragraphs are quite dense and lengthy.
+
+3. **Potential spam detection**: The content might be triggering Reddit's spam filters due to:
+   - Political content
+   - Multiple numbered points
+   - Technical/economic terminology
+
+Here are some solutions to try:
+
+**Option 1: Break up the paragraphs**
+Add line breaks between sentences or logical sections to make it more readable and less likely to trigger filters.
+
+**Option 2: Clean up special characters**
+Replace problematic characters:
+- Change `~` to "approximately" or "about"
+- Remove asterisks or use different emphasis
+- Replace en dashes with regular hyphens
+- Change "gov't" to "government"
+
+**Option 3: Post in smaller chunks**
+Split your response into multiple comments, addressing one or two points per comment.
+
+**Option 4: Try a different subreddit**
+Some subreddits have stricter filters than others. Try posting in a different subreddit that's more appropriate for political/economic discussion.
+
+Would you like me to help you reformat the text to make it more Reddit-friendly?

+
+_**Agent (2025-06-25 08:33:42Z)**_
+
+Ah, that explains it! When using Reddit's markdown editor, there are specific formatting issues that can cause the "unable to create comment" error:
+
+1. **Markdown syntax conflicts**: Your text contains asterisks (*) for emphasis that might be conflicting with Reddit's markdown parser. Reddit might be interpreting these as incomplete markdown formatting.
+
+2. **Unescaped special characters**: Characters like `~` and `–` can cause parsing issues in markdown mode.
+
+3. **Long unbroken text**: Reddit's markdown editor sometimes chokes on very long paragraphs without proper line breaks.

Vermont and Mississippi both have \~50-55% gun ownership. If more guns make everyone *less* safe, then the conclusion would be that they both have a high gun homicide rate. The exact opposite is true. Vermont's culture and the consequences thereof (along every level of analysis) seem to have resulted in extremely low homicides, let alone gun homicides, which are \~0.6–0.8 per 100k. By contrast, Mississippi's state of existence has resulted in \~18 per 100k gun homicides. Considering that politics and socioeconomics are downstream of culture, the only rational conclusion is that the culture of Mississippi is not conducive towards a stable society, let alone responsible gun ownership. Though to be fair, the state is better off than most less-developed nations in the world. Overall, there seems to be no correlation between safety and gun ownership in either the positive or negative direction, which stands to reason. The remaining question is: when you are surrounded by those with lethal means, what right does the state have in punishing you for matching such lethality to protect yourself? And, more importantly, how is it morally justifiable for the State to have a monopoly on lethal force?

The wait times are abysmal, and their pharmaceutical markets produce hardly any of the most essential drugs required by their populace. It's no wonder Canada has been pushing voluntary euthanasia; it's literally more cost-effective than the tax burden it requires to keep a chronically ill or suffering patient alive. This is the reality of healthcare: there are three facets. Universality, Affordability, and Quality. Your political system can only pick two. You can choose Universality, and also Quality, but the tax burden is going to lead to inevitable austerity, and you lose the other two.

What are the consequences? The federal gov't incentivises the States, insurance companies, and hospitals, to weave local networks that monopolize the entire health market. Competition is what drives innovation, which decreases prices. There is no competition in this mixed economy. So the utopians will blame the businessman, pushing the State to bully him into cutting some sort of deal that increases his foothold. Which, in a free market, he would have absolutely no right to. In a free market, if your endeavor fails, it ceases to exist.

The Protestant influence was so heavy that Jefferson, arguably the most Deist of the founding fathers, held overtly Christian meetings in the Capitol and the White House.

+Perfect! I've reformatted your text to be Reddit-friendly. The key changes I made:
+
+1. **Added proper markdown headers** (`#` and `**bold**`) instead of numbered lists
+2. **Removed problematic characters**:
+   - Replaced `~` with "approximately" 
+   - Removed asterisks (`*`) that were causing markdown parsing issues
+   - Changed `gov't` to `government`
+   - Fixed `percieved` to `perceived`
+   - Changed `incentivises` to `incentivizes`
+3. **Added line breaks** between paragraphs to make it more readable
+4. **Structured it with clear sections** using markdown headers
+
+This should now work perfectly with Reddit's markdown editor. The formatting is clean, the special characters are gone, and it's broken into digestible sections that won't overwhelm Reddit's parser.

+
+I'm already in the correct directory. To reconnect to your git repository, I need to know the specific repository name. What's the name of your repository within the `\\Hydra\git` location? 
+
+For example, if your repository is called "writinRepo", the full path would be `\\Hydra\git\writinRepo.git` or similar.
+
+Once you provide the repository name, I can help you:
+

+Perfect! Now I know the git repository path is `\\Hydra\git\writinRepo.git`. I need to:
+
+1. Add the remote origin back to the repository
+2. The user mentioned they moved the folder and lost the connection, but the git status shows this is currently an uninitialized repository with no commits yet, so this might be a fresh git init or the .git folder got corrupted/lost during the move.
+

+
+<think><details><summary>Thought Process</summary>
+The user is saying that all their files are detecting as new and they can't see any of their old commits. This suggests that while we've reconnected the remote, the local repository isn't properly linked to the commit history from the remote. 
+
+Looking at the git status from earlier, it shows "No commits yet" and all files are untracked, which confirms this issue. The problem is likely that:
+
+1. The local repository was reinitialized or lost its commit history when the folder was moved
+2. They need to fetch the commit history from the remote
+3. They may need to set up the correct branch tracking
+
+Since they don't want me to run commands, I should explain what's happening and what they need to do to fix it.</details></think>
+
+_**Agent**_
+
+You're right - the issue is that your local repository has lost its connection to the commit history. When you moved the folder, it appears the local git repository was reinitialized or lost its commit history, which is why git status shows "No commits yet" and all files appear as untracked.
+
+Here's what you need to do to restore the connection to your commit history:
+
+1. **Fetch the remote history:**
+   ```
+   git fetch origin
+   ```
+
+2. **Check what branches exist on the remote:**
+   ```
+   git branch -r
+   ```
+
+3. **Set up your main branch to track the remote** (assuming your main branch is called `main` or `master`):
+   ```
+   git checkout -b main origin/main
+   ```
+   or if it's master:
+   ```
+   git checkout -b master origin/master
+   ```
+
+4. **Verify the connection:**
+   ```
+   git log --oneline
+   ```
+
+This should restore your commit history and make git recognize that your files aren't actually new - they're just the current state of your tracked files. The key step is fetching the remote history and then checking out the appropriate branch to track the remote branch.

+
+Earlier, the point was made that the Giant could possibly have had some of his programming partially erased by the impact that caused the bump, but partially by the electric shocks. It's ambiguous as to which caused him to forget. I think this opens it to the hinting that Hogarth is partially responsible for creating him, in a sense.
+
+https://youtu.be/pUtuM1H-wLM?si=1ALUJpQ7SRW4v-JG&t=10684
+Fringald points out how hogarth presumes the giant is good by default; the counterfactual doesn't even exist in his mind. Whereas Mansley sees nothing but the negative. Hogarth is naive, but Mansley is pathologically cynical, i.e. he cannot advance to the next state of wisdom (the courage in trusting despite the potential for malevolence in the stranger)
+

+Rags refers to the process of Creation (Order > Chaos) and the limitless potential therein
+
+https://youtu.be/pUtuM1H-wLM?si=YAwD33C3qiT-zMa8&t=11386
+Fringy says Hogarth being good molds the giant into Goodness as well...
+
+The themes™ are there!
+
+Art: taking something supposedly worthless/meaningless and EXTRACTING/CONJURING meaning therefrom!

+

+"you are who you choose to be" is THE statement of the film.
+
+When discussing this, I'd put it this way:
+The question that Bird sought to answer, in grieving his sister's murder, was, of course: what if a Gun had a soul, and didn't want to be a Gun? And the answer to that question was encapsulated in this line. YOU ARE WHO YOU CHOOSE TO BE.
+
+He could have set about creating a propaganda film about how guns are bad and evil, but he wanted to FIGURE SOMETHING OUT. What he realized, was that it's not about the gun, it's about the power that it holds, and that's why the exploration of the soul in the gun is so important; it makes the exploration about power per se, and not about an externalized, particularized form of power. Then you have to contend with the real problem: the force of your being can be used for good, or for evil. So CHOOSE!
+
+https://youtu.be/pUtuM1H-wLM?si=pLHYD7Lv1PDPWc0C&t=12318
+Mauler remarks that it's ALL about choice; MAXIMAL INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY. None of this shit about how you were just born that way and you're fucked; predestined for whatever path that has been chosen about you, so there's no reason not to be evil. That's why they say that; if it's not your responsibility, every excuse for your evil is available to you. If it is, ultimately, your responsibility, you have no excuses, and every reason to refuse evil.
+
+https://youtu.be/pUtuM1H-wLM?si=hmm4aI04oF1SlUPE&t=12453
+Fringy's discussion of the Giant being literally created for the purpose of destruction...
+
+That's the BEAUTIFUL part about it all. It drives home the message: you were created for enacting devastation upon creation. That is what your PURPOSE has been determined to be by the temporal actors who created you. But YOU decide whether or not you accept that purpose. MAN WAS CREATED FROM THE BLOOD OF KINGU, THE GENERAL OF ALL MONSTERS.
+
+"Residual programming that he is trying to fight" Mauler
+
+https://youtu.be/pUtuM1H-wLM?si=vajng6l0oXrKNujg&t=12733
+"It" versus "HE, not it" really puts the Man versus Monster polarity into focus.
+
+https://youtu.be/pUtuM1H-wLM?si=ubRzfzeMX-0jvy52&t=13320
+The themes are never forced! Because Bird and the team put SO MUCH into actualizing them so that they WORK on every level of analysis.
+
+Fringy: Mansley's strategy is the literal embodiment of Mutually Assured Destruction. And it can certainly be said that he went M.A.D.
+
+https://youtu.be/pUtuM1H-wLM?si=0QXcWf--v6x2RvFr&t=13485
+Rags: Is it any coincidence that Mansley's name is MANsley, given what he represents?
+
+https://youtu.be/pUtuM1H-wLM?si=4JIMy8_3lDVAq8v1&t=13789
+Garrett: The mental battle that goes on in their heads; the childish side of the argument wins over
+
+3:53:00
+Mauler interprets the Giant's mimicry like a robot trying to act more human (Terminator trying to mimic a smile), which I'd say means his behavior is calculated. Rags brings up Toothless' smile mimicry, which I think is far more apt for both situations; an intelligent monster, using mimicry in an attempt to fit in for genuine, non-nefarious purposes.
+
+https://youtu.be/pUtuM1H-wLM?si=-K3xe0v7sNuHPSY8&t=14544
+Fringy: if the Giant killed the Deer, he would have fallen into a pit of depression that the writers couldn't have pulled him out of.
+
+On "Guns Kill" it's on the level of abstraction that both Hogarth and the Giant can understand. Guns are, in fact, designed to destroy. But so are humans, particularly men. So only a man who is evil will destroy with impunity. A man who is good will destroy only what he is absolutely required to. And that's the difference in Ideals between Hogarth, Mansley, and Dean.
+
+https://youtu.be/pUtuM1H-wLM?si=GrX84uf1gveo27CH&t=14973
+Fringy: Robot meets Nature is a very ripe idea. The last Bastion is the best Overwatch short, The Good Robot explores this as well...
+I think it emerges from the collective unconscious, explicitly due to our capacity for Reason. We ARE the robots in our Man-Nature stories.
+
+Garrett: the context of learning what the gun is, and that the gun means violence, prompts him to instinctually respond with or otherwise tap into/discover, violence. This is required for the later scene in the junkyard where the ray gun causes him to lose control.
+
+https://youtu.be/pUtuM1H-wLM?si=u27mjCy73QvoO9rl&t=15379
+Fringy: the lesson that Hogarth teaches the giant about the nature of life, death, good, evil, and souls, is not something he was taught or that he invented, it's EMERGENT.
+
+Garrett refers to this as a "tropey" thing in the positive sense; what he's referring to is an ARCHETYPE. "A kid falling into a parental role" it's so REAL!
+
+4:20:30 Garrett: the difference between a rock and a tree is an important basis for him to get this lesson: the difference between life, and the lack thereof.
+
+4:28:10 Mauler: the role of gov't gets scary, when all is justified, given it's in """the people's best interest"""
+
+4:34:00 Fringy: the Giant doesn't want to play Atomo. He wants to play Superman. Great touch.
+
+4:34:30 Mauler: This is one of the few stretches in the film, but "if that gun functioned normally as a toy, Hogarth would be dead." I'd say this is a pretty huge convenience.
+
+I'm not Gun!...
+
+4:53:00 Mauler: it's almost like a muscle memory, that Hogarth told him not to touch the dead
+
+4:54:30 Mauler: it becomes man versus robot, and he has to maintain the heart within him, fighting against the urge to kill, but fascinatingly, this might be one of the most relatably human reactions that the Giant has; "somebody he loves is killed, and it drives him insane." I wouldn't say insane actually, I would say he refuses to inhibit the monster within him, embracing it, because he now knows WHY one would want to destroy.
+
+4:58:30 Mauler: the design philosophy is keep him neutral enough to border on cute, but make it so that all it takes is a couple small tweaks to make him horrifying. Toothless and Stitch have similar design phils
+
+5:05:30 The General is behaving rationally with the information that he has. He's reasonable where Mansley is not; archetypically, he's the positive valence of the State.
+
+5:07:00 Mauler: the truth of Mansley's motivation comes out; "Screw our country, I want to live!"
+Mauler: The General has no fear, he's resolved with the knowledge that they're all going to die, so he commands him to stay and die for his country.
+
+5:12:00 Mauler: the animation within seconds, going from recognition that the people are life, then the realization that he can save them, and then the determination to do it.
+
+It's extremely meta-true that they begin by telling stories and playing games, to reason out how a moral life is lived, then Hogarth articulates it as best he can, then the Giant realizes the emergent morality in a moment, and consciously chooses to embody it.
+
+5:13:00 Fringy: It's an incorporation of all the lessons. You are who you choose to be, you are good, like Superman, and it's not bad to die.
+
+5:14:00 Garrett: Hogarth says I love you, and I wondered, is that too much? But no. I'm glad it's there.
+Fringy: truly is the best Superman Movie
+
+~5:16:00 Something about the town being encapsulated in a glow from the heavens, as if the Giant has been accepted into heaven, the place where Good Souls go when they die...
+
+5:18:00 Mauler: the general's humanity was never in doubt, but regardless, he pays his respects to the Giant, who sacrificed himself, and there's a parallel that the Giant is a soldier of sorts, too. Rags: he did his duty.
+
+5:21:15 Mauler: People say he should have used his lazers to destroy the rocket, but the entire point is that he's resolving not to use the weapons. I think if there were ever another threat, he would have to use them, or shouldn't refuse to use them just in case, but he's clearly quite resolved to not use really any force in this case. There's something to be said about males being biologically expendable.
+
+5:25:00 Mauler: it's not in character and it's not mechanically appropriate, because the Giant does not seem to have control when he brings the weapons out. I don't think he's learned that yet.
+
+By the end, the Giant wakes up and smiles. Against my will, it's hard not to see the Christ parallels.

 ## Certainly not putting effort into revamping Premiere and After Effects by changing them from largely CPU-based programs to more GPU-intensive ones. Premiere can't decode a damn H.264 without proxies if you want it to decode perfectly and efficiently, and half of the damn effects in AE are CPU-based, which means if you don't have an EPYC or some shit, you're piss out of luck if you just want to upscale, which is a feature I use all the time. Why the hell would you want to do that when AI upscaling exists right now? What the hell does anyone pay Adobe for when they aren't putting any effort into bringing their programs up to speed with the most efficient hardware? You wouldn't need a 64 core hyperthreaded Xeon processor if you just made your damn program use the command set of the highly efficient GPU I have in my system. It would be very difficult to crunch the numbers on this, but I'd wager this has lead to significant increases in carbon emissions and many billions of dollars worth of individual and corporate electrical bills. The industry needs to work on moving to more efficient command sets, because when they do, as we've seen with Apple's silicon, one of the few good steps Apple has ever taken even if they didn't launch it very well, everyone will profit immensely from it. Same concept applies to nuclear, but I digress.
