Background
"The record is primarily a response to the end of a relationship, so a lot of it is pretty reactionary. It’s trying to be introspective, but there’s always got to be a little 'fuck you' in there – or, sometimes there’s a lot."[2]
Title
Thao Nguyen explained the title of the album in an interview with KEXP: “The album is named ‘Know Better Learn Faster’ because you can't. By the time you realize you should, it's too late. And I enjoy the predicament and the totally devastating, unfunny humor of that.”[3]

gollark: <@113673208296636420> It shows basically every page!
gollark: <@113673208296636420> I mean, if you want a rough explanation of the functioning of it:- pages are fetched from their server- pages are parsed for text content/links in them- links are added to the crawl queue- the crawler bit goes through *those* pages if they're on a whitelisted domain- the text content is converted into tokens, and the frequency is counted, then divided by the total tokens on a page (this is "weight")- the tokens in each page are stored in the DATABASE™ (as well as the other stuff)- when a search is run, it finds any page containing the tokens in the search, and they're sorted by weight of each token within them times the frequency of that token in the DATABASE™
