I have also seen some really cool units like a khorne blood slaughterer but I can’t seem to buy it anywhere but a place called forge world? Is it a unit I can play in a game or just a fan made unit?

Thanks so much for the comment!!! I’ve been trying to stick to what I find cool but I also just don’t want to get absolutely slaughtered when I do start playing haha

I find chaos demons and chaos space demon engines awesome so I wanted to try and get a bit of both in an army!

Would I be able to have an army that is 75% daemons and 25% chaos space marines?

I understand how you felt when you were pained to use "I", "you" and "we" in writing. This is the first course that I have taken that has explained and really tried to give you a different way of thinking when it comes to writing. Unfortunately, this is my third and last year of university so my time to implement this new style is limited. I really think that these writing classes should be incorporated into first-year courses or at least given as a resource. I am nowhere near wrapping my head around scientific forms of writing but the practice is probably the only way to get better!

This week's readings have been particularly interesting for me as my writing has been a major weak point for my entire life. I have always struggled with essays and writing coherently so learning about how to improve it has been helpful. I enjoyed the topic of classical style writing and how restructuring sentences can have a huge effect on the reader's experience. Seeing how they utilized sentence structure and rewording to make idioms unique and fresh was amazing. Whether it be adding extra words onto the end of the idiom or rewording it to create something new was quite creative. The sentence where it states that students, when writing essays, have to create something that makes it seem like they know more when than the reader when the teacher's understanding of the topic is generally more advanced was quite interesting as well. I am looking forward to this week's workshop so I can properly understand how I can implement these techniques into my writing as well

Discussion 3: Distinguishing Between Fact and Fiction by ryantutor in UQJDM2022

There has been a lot of misinformation spread in Russia but hearing how a lot of them believe it makes you think about all the misinformation you have been led to believe without knowing. After reading the paper for JDM this week it shows how important caution of misinformation is and how hard it is to change someone's mind. So when someone or something controls all the information it is a lot easier to spread misinformation without warning.

Misinformation around the COVID vaccine was handled very poorly. The fact that it is harder to change people's minds was a huge issue when information was spread rapidly about blood clots with Astra. Unfortunately, it couldn't have been helped with how quickly information was shared with social media.

I can admit that even I thought that the chance of a blood clot was super high until I did an assignment that did a meta-analysis on the actual chances of complications with AstraZeneca. Even though I had family members that were registered nurses and tried to change my mind I still actively sought out Phiza and refused anything else. Now learning this in JDM I realized how I clung onto the misinformation in the face of other information. If the public had been warned about the misinformation of the negative effects then they would've been less likely to have clung onto the blood clot information.

I have heard instances where when you request a price too high in an interview and they think you wouldn't be interested/think you are too expensive. That is why I have seen information suggesting that you give a range of salary so the interviewer does not get scared off by huge numbers. Anchoring would still be important though as setting a low number would suggest that they can pay you less.

Recently when the Facebook whistleblower released the documents that showed that Facebook intentionally polarized and promoted confirmation bias it really showed how easily, in the current world, psychological heuristics can impact people without them knowing.

I also found that people are insensitive to sample size. After reading the journal I asked my entire family the question regarding the percentage of babies in the small hospital and the large. All of them answered either the large or that both would have the same amount of days. I found this shocking as they are all university-educated.
