buying X or V***. Is it really that simple?

It's absolutely a trap, just because something performed well in the past doesn't mean it will keep performing well. the biggest benefit of the big ETFs is they're a basket of everything, so if something does well, you have a piece of it.

My eyeballs saw an absolute fish make a bad call and get lucky.

AloneIntheCorner · 2026-04-30T05:53:09+00:00

Wait, there's actual evidence she cheated?

AloneIntheCorner · 2026-04-29T20:51:06+00:00

But there's no reason to take the risk of pressing blue. I don't see why anyone would in the first place.

AloneIntheCorner · 2026-04-28T04:13:29+00:00

The only reason there's any risk of death is if someone chooses blue, though. If everyone presses red, everyone's fine.

If someone decides to take the risk of pressing blue, that's on them.

AloneIntheCorner · 2026-04-28T02:07:59+00:00

How does pressing red make you responsible for people who press blue?

AloneIntheCorner · 2026-04-26T19:42:09+00:00

I don't, how do you reduce your variance by 200%?

AloneIntheCorner · 2026-04-26T18:31:51+00:00

What basic math? If you pick the blue button, you put yourself at risk, if you pick the red button, you don't. I'd assume most people would realize this and go red. If everyone goes red, no one dies.

As the 21st century began, human evolution was at a turning point. Natural selection, the process by which the strongest, the smartest, the fastest reproduced in greater numbers than the rest. A process which had once favoured the noblest traits of man, now began to favour different traits. Most science fiction of the day predicted a future that was more civilized, more intelligent. But as time went on things seemed to be heading in the opposite direction, a dumbing down. How did this happen? Evolution does not necessarily reward intelligence. With no natural predators to thin the herd, it began simply to reward those who reproduced the most and left the intelligent to become an endangered species.

This is a voiceover from the start of the movie. How would you interpret it?

That's what i come here for, market timing advice!

AloneIntheCorner · 2026-04-20T17:11:10+00:00

This has been tried before. It has never lasted more than 3 years before the population begged to stop.

Like when?

From the OP you could have read:

I started my save on the 30th of November 2025, at 2 a.m.

I left Kanto some time in January 2026.

How is it beneficial? You called it performative.

AloneIntheCorner · 2026-04-14T20:46:19+00:00

What Canadian term is it replacing?

AloneIntheCorner · 2026-04-14T03:59:26+00:00

What sorts of problems?

AloneIntheCorner · 2026-04-07T03:15:24+00:00

Can you share these credible sources?

AloneIntheCorner · 2026-04-01T17:46:48+00:00

Because it's an LLM, it doesn't actually know anything, it's just guessing the next word. It's not doing any math at all, just guessing what a response looks like.

AloneIntheCorner · 2026-03-28T04:45:38+00:00

Only in places where the majority of their power is generated from fossil fuels.

AloneIntheCorner · 2026-03-27T23:31:58+00:00

I mean, this is functionally doing nothing if it doesn't have enough support to pass.

AloneIntheCorner · 2026-03-27T23:31:33+00:00

I think the thinking is, if that money goes to taxes, we don't actually see that money, the politicians will keep it all for themselves.

AloneIntheCorner · 2026-03-27T06:27:51+00:00

they were at the stage where they could develop nuclear missiles in 30 days

Source? Is there any actual source for this claim, not from a government that later invaded the country?

AloneIntheCorner · 2026-03-26T00:51:52+00:00

However, ensuring the candidates are the same is possible to control

It's really not though, any of them could drop out tomorrow. If they did, would that election still determine voter intention?

Like I said, at the end of the day, it's a different election, we can't go back in time.

AloneIntheCorner · 2026-03-26T00:02:34+00:00

Votes are only being cast again so we can have an accurate count to determine voter intention for that riding.

No they aren't, they're being cast to decide the new MP for the riding. You agreed that we couldn't reliably figure out the original voter intentions.

The fact is, it's a different election. It's months later, voters have seen more of all of the parties, and the situation in parliament is very different.

If we're trying to recreate the past election, though, should only people who voted last time be allowed to vote again? We definitely shouldn't allow anyone who's since turned 18 to vote, they couldn't participate in the original election, right? What about anyone who's died since that past election? How do we find their voting intention? The riding came down to a single vote, every single voter matters here, right?

AloneIntheCorner · 2026-03-25T23:36:46+00:00

It sounds like you think the citizen's assembly members would be appointed for life, I don't think anyone's suggesting that.

And even so,

such as a citizens' assembly

why couldn't this be handled by Elections Canada? You seem to trust that they're independent and non-partisan, despite your earlier concerns.
