Elliptic curve

(NOT AN ELLIPSE!!!) Elliptic curve: y*y = x*x*x + A*x + B for some A and B. Seemingly simple enough (if you've gotten past high school algebra at least). However, if you make some special points, you can create a whole new number system. And there are so many of these (just change your values for A and B).
Elliptic curve cryptography are based on the idea that multiplying by, say, 329857349875 isn't *that* hard... but dividing by it is HELL. It's a reliable one-way function, which is pretty important for encryption! Another application is factorization, but I'm not too sure on that one so ask google ig

Sadness ellipsis

A Sadness ellipsis is when you go into deep thought about something and you get sad. Like when you are talking to a girl you like and she talks about her boyfriend. Like the grammatical ellipsis, it can indicate a thought that makes you unfocused. Or, it can be used grammatically like a normal ellipsis just to emphasize something sad.
1. This girl just told me she has a boyfriend and I’ve only thought about that since. I hate Sadness ellipsis.
2. And you receive… a dent on your new car!!!!!

Implicit ellipsis

I know it's a bit redundant to phrase it like this but you'll see what I mean when I explain...
Hym "So, conservative pundits like to do this a lot but it's not just them. They like to use implicit ellipsis. So... When they say 'The woke leftist are grooming kids...' 👈 There is and ellipsis there. BUT it's spoken. So, obviously you can't SEE the ellipsis. The ellipsis is implicit. And what it means is that there is something that they are omitting from the sentence. That's what an 'ellipsis' means. So the FULL sentence is 'They are grooming kids... to believe that sex and gender are separate and that 'gender' is socially constructed and relates to gender roles. In the same way that a catholic is grooming kids to believe that an ontologically real reality monster has at some point interacted with humanity and arbitrated morality, there is no morality beyond this arbitration, and that failure to adhere to this morality deserves punishment... Unless I do it... In which case, me and the reality monster are cool and it will forgive me... Because I've been pre-forgiven' So, that's the trick. Be aware of implicit ellipsis in speech."
