@Wileymiller @deborahh Real life is neither purely competitive nor purely cooperatives. You do have to stand up for yourself, but to some degree we're all in this together.

There are good games where two teams compete (Bridge, Captain Sonar, team sports). There are good games where everyone works against a hidden traitor (Shadows Over Camelot, Betrayal at House on the Hill). There are also excellent, challenging games where everyone competes against the game (Pandemic, Flash Point, Gloomhaven, Ghost Stories).

I would never do standup comedy for a lot of reasons, but one of the main reasons is because I've learned almost everything by reading and I have very bad intuitions about how words should be pronounced so I think it's best for everyone if I just keep typing in this box and everyone else can keep assuming I pronounce these words exactly like they do.

The answer: #3! Functions and generators, for example, are both mutable and hashable. This works because that part that's examined by == is immutable.
