imagine you say 'its a common misconception that 22/7 is equal to pi but its not thats just an approximation thats often used at lower levels" and then someone is like 'ok but i learnt in school that pi is 22/7' and you say yeah it shows up a lot in math problems but when they say pi = 22/7 its just an approximation for ease of calculation and then someone sends you a screenshot of a grade 6 textbook that says pi = 22/7 and youre like, okay so this is one example in one context, and later in the math curriculum they do tell you that pi is irrational, which means it cant be represented as a fraction, so if you use reasoning you can figure out that one of those isnt true and if you double check you can find out that what isnt true is pi = 22/7. and youre getting agitated because people keep coming to you like youre an authority, and you dont have like a phd or anything but you are capable of tutoring math to a certain level, and have done so for a while so you have experience, enough that youre aware that pi is not 22/7, and why people often think it is 22/7. so its beginning to feel a little disrespectful that all these people are like insisting that an easily verifiable fact isnt true because they wont take your word for it, while they are also coming directly to you to tell you that they dont think your reasoning is sound.

can you imagine that.

#dils declares #anyway. so that one screenshot of patrick saying he wrote 25% of the lyrics to srar is not supported #by anything he said for the remainder of srar era #which indicates to me that either he mispoke or inflated how many lyrics he wrote intentionally or otherwise #OR that most if not all of the lyrics he wrote ended up on the cutting room floor.#what he said most insistently consistently and for the longest during that era was that he wrote very few lyrics #and described what he did write as 'a 'the' or 'a' here and there.#these men do lie constantly all the time so its possible he wrote more and they want to downplay it #or that they intended to frame it as though he wrote more and they backtracked #but. its just not supported in the context of most interviews from srar era.#i might be mixing up quotes because at one point he said he wrote many lyrics and at a different point he specified 25%#but based on what hes said most often. he probably meant that he was more involved in lyrics on srar compared to ab/ap in one of those #and mispoke or overemphasized his contribution to lyrics in another.
