Alright. We talked about it and I think we decided what we're gonna do.

We're gonna have the baby.

It feels so weird to say. I'm gonna be a parent. I'm going to take care of the kid without her though, we decided that the best way for the baby to grow up would be if Bubbagum could be the adoptive father. I'm really nervous and scared, but I think Bubba is gonna be a great dad.

If it's a boy, we're going to name it Eric Hartman Fallon. If it's a girl, Erica Hartman Fallon.

Don't forget how Mars was named after the Martians.

Are you trying to save face by acting like you're in on the joke, or are you just that dumb?

Bro. They're two 17 year olds that aren't even officially in a relationship.

also don't people name stars all the time? why is this a problem?

There are more stars visible from the planet Earth than you could imagine. If you take any tiny chunk of the sky you can see at night and use a high powered telescope so that that patch is the only thing you can see, you'll see even more stars you couldn't see before. If you select an even smaller patch of that piece, and use an appropriately higher powered scope to see only that bit, you'll see even MORE stars that you couldn't see before.

It's like naming a grain of sand. Nobody cares because there's so many of them that it doesn't matter.

Galaxies are completely different. Galaxies are huge discoveries and they're something of actual value. They're more than little specks of light in the sky, they're home to billions of stars, hundreds of planets, and an innumerable amount of space debris. They're unique and exciting to see.

Also is this formatting okay?

Don't put an empty line after every single line. Using it as a divider is fine (like between functions) but not every single line. This isn't an essay, it doesn't need to be double spaced.


Upload your console.log file or download Sublime Text. The latter one is almost guaranteed to work.

How can a scripting language be faster than compiled code? Am I missing something here?

It's not as fast, it's just commonly compared to C++ because it's only about three times slower where as other languages (like Lua) are around 30-50 times slower.

I don't like using words for things that should be represented by symbols. { and } are much faster to read, interpret, and write than "then", "end", "do", etc. Not to mention that they literally make sense by encapsulating the code, the words "then" and "end" have no relation to encapsulation.

I've worked with Lua. More than once. I've seen what it can do, I've seen how it does things, and I've decided I don't like it. It's not for any one reason (it's not just because ~= is used instead of != or it uses keywords instead of symbols) but as a collective language it's just not for me. I don't think it's really for anyone, to be honest. It's really old and better languages exist for every use case.


Lua is slower than JavaScript which is slower than C++. Benchmarks exist, people. It's not opinion.



edit: better benchmark

What would be a good choice then?

Sublime Text

It'd work better than TextEdit, tbh.

Or you could just save the file without any formatting stuff.

Ignore the fact that it's talking about HTML. It should fix your issue too.

Erm... Try opening the file in notepad. Not wordpad or word, notepad.

On Macs the notepad application is named "TextEdit."

this is news to me

Nitrous Oxide is a great propellant for food products. It's got a light, sweet taste so it won't corrupt the food and it's cheap. The only downside is that teenagers begin buying your product to get high, which is really only a downside for handicapped people who suffocate by not inhaling enough air.
