Yeah for sure. Tony consistently quashes anyone growing out of jealousy I think bc he never seems to grow. Like when he brings up Janice’s son when she is doing so well with anger management class

For sure! Tho it’s kinda funny that whenever I get to a DBI question for our project it sort of doesn’t quite work and never seems helpful lol

Ralph definitely burned the horse in pretty confident in but upon rewatching it is some pretty interesting symmetry or asymmetry maybe (since this is accidental) that Valentina is a burn victim

We also think our work could be useful for writers across jobs, activist and advocacy work, and even academia to be more conscious of why they might write with numbers in certain ways rather than others. And, to consider new ways of writing in the face of such reflection.

We feel that these in-depth interviews could be helpful for future research that might try to use other methods to understand some of the framing strategies for quantitative info (eg, experiment, corpus analysis) explored and discussed with these writers to think about range of effects

We found that, for a range of reasons, writers privileged either “speeding up” comprehension of a number or “slowing down” such comprehension to really linger with and feel what a number means

We used the discourse-based interview method to get public writers to think about why they might make one choice vs another in their writing with quantities. We spoke to 14 such writers who work on issues such as climate, trans rights, economics, and education, among others

Its really something that some rich person who already has so many human sycophants and then decides that is not enough and that they need a very expensive and racist robot version too
