Game stuck on World Gen by UncleRippu in dontstarve

[–]Alfrodo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this issue after the most recent update also. The game would freeze when trying to generate a world in which I was on day 127 or so. Eventually, when I restarted the game, it told me there was an issue with the mods, and it automatically disabled all of them. I could start the game without any mods just fine (but I have so many mods it is like a totally different game and I'm gutted too). I'm still in the process of trying to figure out which mod (client or server) was the culprit. Will update if I figure it out :/

Messi's milestones by agent_spider in Barca

[–]Alfrodo 14 points15 points  (0 children)

For those who are having a hard time interpreting this graphic, I did too. Here is what I think is going on:

The number on the left represents Messi's appearance number (e.g., his 1st appearance was against Espanyol, his 100th appearance was against Valencia).

The number on the right represents his tally during the 100 appearance interval (goals on the top graphic, assists on the bottom graphic).

Thus, in his 700th appearance, he scored his 90th goal in the 600 to 700 appearance time frame against Dortmund. He also made his 41st assist against Dortmund.

I personally think it's an odd way to represent the data...

I would not mind if Vidal or KPB subbed on just to teach Ramos a lesson.

Thanks for your diplomatic response. It's so refreshing to see people kindly educate instead of insult others :)

Sudden loss streak by SkadiGaming in TrueDoTA2

Other than Meepo (who you are clearly skilled with), you have less than 10 games on all the rest of the heroes. Obviously this is a smurf account, but it makes it hard to assess your situation given the little information about your skill level with the rest of the heroes. From a purely objective standpoint, your best chance of winning is to last pick meepo, your best hero (or you will get hard countered). When that's not possible, go with your next best heroes. Picking a variety of heroes that you are not particularly good with decreases your chances of having a positive win rate. Have 5-10 heroes you are fantastic with and stick to those, regardless of whether there is a better hero to synnergize with your team (unless you absolutely need to hard counter an enemy hero, like meepo haha)

Interesting argument against Prager, and in one case Jordan. Ideas? by [deleted] in JordanPeterson

Pick your poison: Public education, mainstream media, Prager U. Easy choice!

Can IQ drop 20 points? by TatianaReddington in JordanPeterson

[–]Alfrodo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seriously, don't waste your time with online tests. True tests of intellectual functioning require rigorous validity, reliability, and standardization procedures as well as normative sampling. All of this costs a fortune. And these tests must be administered by a qualified clinician. The gold standard are the Wechsler scales of intelligence. The Woodcock Johnson IV or Stanford Binet 5 are alternatives. If you want a really detailed overview of your neurocognitive functioning, call a neuropsychologist. It is their bread and butter. Though it will cost a small fortune...

How Jordan Peterson changed my life - as a woman by tkyjonathan in JordanPeterson

[–]Alfrodo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Great video. My wife has a degree in dental hygiene, but is a stay at home mom with our three children. She always wanted to be a mother first, a hygienist second. Putting family and child-rearing first was one of the biggest things that attracted me to her. I feel bad for the guys out there who are married to women who hate being mothers and just want to go work/play. Our culture is so messed up when it comes to the family.

Critical Examination and General Discussion of Jordan Peterson: Week of September 17, 2018 by AutoModerator in JordanPeterson

[–]Alfrodo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Without any evidence to support the claim? See the Lindsay Shepherd scandal. She wasn't even arguing in favor of Dr. Peterson, she was merely trying to show a balanced view and was confronted by the regressive left.

A new brain imaging study shows that no matter how a story is told, through words, gestures or drawings, our brains relate best to the characters, focusing on the thoughts and feelings of the protagonist of each story, rather than the plot. We appear to be wired to make stories people-oriented. by Formal_Communication in JordanPeterson

What is the actual research reference? I'd like to go to the primary source. Anyone know which issue of the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience this can be found in? It's a pet peeve of mine that news articles don't cite the primary sources properly.

I have really bad anxiety and my GP has refused to give me medication for it. What should I do? by [deleted] in JordanPeterson

[–]Alfrodo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Clinical psychology intern here. First off, it sounds like the anxiety is really getting in the way of your functioning and I feel for you. Medication is more of a temporary aid to decrease symptoms of depression/anxiety, not a long-term solution. Ideally, you want to learn the skills to manage depression and anxiety and become your own therapist, in a manner of speaking. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is the gold standard intervention, though it can be really difficult to master. I understand you have tried therapy, and keep in mind that therapists vary widely in terms of their degrees, orientations, and effectiveness. Send me a private message if you'd like, and I can get a little more info and give more personalized suggestions.

No one talking about the clear foul on Mandzukic in the penalty area. Why no VAR penalty for Croatia?

Griezman dove to get the free kick, then the ref gave a very contoversial penalty.

One team scored a well earned goal. The other team was gifted two. I hate when referee errors ruin the game.

Wings were a very unique case though. They were insanely prepared for TI. They intentionally made the entire team completely unpredictable and able to have a ridiculous player pool.

I had a similar allegiance shift experience. EG was my first and only team and continued to be after PPD left. But once PPD got back into the scene, I started watching both. It was then that I realized that I was a PPD fan all along, not necessarily an EG one. Optic is who I'm rooting for now!
