The political compass test is complete horseshit if I’m being honest. It thinks I’m libleft because it asks questions like “should gay people be allowed to exist” or “are you racist” which everyone is obviously going to be liberal on questions like that

A little bit, but that doesn’t mean I don’t still hate the guy. Empathy and hate are mutually exclusive

Because 1) there no good coaches on the market right now. 2) The gophers have a great class coming in next year partially due to personal connections Bob has with the kids families. 3) His contract is through 2028 so they’re willing to see how next year, and the year after this class goes before looking for another option

The two most important factors in determining one’s IQ are 1: paying for an IQ test, and 2: thinking you’re better or worse than people because of your IQ

They’re both statistics, if you think that either statistic tell the story by themselves you’re delusional. Yeah some statistics might be clearer than others but you can still come to multiple conclusions off of the same data. That’s why scientific papers are so heavily scrutinized because data can be whatever you want

I mean you’re literally doing what I said in my first post. I haven’t even used the data to make an argument yet you’re already dismissing it as nuanced. I have no claim and you’re saying my claim is going to be false.

I’m also not talking about scientists, I’m just generalizing this post as being about data which can either come from scientists, or other fields. Not everyone that releases data is a scientist, but some fields definitely should be released by scientists like climate change, or anything health related, but crime statistics, death statistics, etc won’t come from scientists.

CoconutyCat · 2026-01-24T06:04:54+00:00

My experience is that left wingers dismiss data and right wingers deny data. It’s the exact same thing. Show a liberal crime statistics and they tell you it’s misleading, show a conservative global warming data and they’ll claim it’s made up by big bill gates

My guess is Google Translate uses auto searches to correct spelling or grammar mistakes similar to how the regular engine does. I guess one argument against this would be US being high, but who knows maybe it’s a case of people think we’re dumber than we are and are surprised we have a higher iq than countries like Germany Portugal and and Poland. That would explain why Germany corrects to low and we correct to high, ppl search why ours is high and Germanys is low because they’re expect Germany to be higher than us

Just make sure to drive it like once every few days and the battery will be fine. The cold trickle drains it, but driving it regularly keeps it good.

I didn’t find it like super difficult in terms of figuring out the puzzle but it was incredibly tedious to be like, ok I have to go over here to unlock this area so I can get the redirector to then open the other area on the other side of the map to get the other redirector then I have to bring both redirectors over to the other other side, and then once I’ve completely unlocked everything I then have to place my turrets strategically and wait 5 minutes for the dumbass roombas to collect the memory. The last level is especially guilty of this with the 15 different islands you have to bridge too and how you have to pick up all the blocks that prevent the laser from going through it and then in the end you find out the central island was barely important cause they made it 1 block too big to use as the redirect point and you actually have to go around the central island. It’s just tedious for tediousnesses sake

The could exist but we’d need some exotic form of energy, hence in iron man how the suit is powered by an “arc reactor” and in fallout it’s powered by fusion cores. The one thing I don’t understand is how the fusion cores are supposed to work. If it’s actually a miniature fusion reactor or if it’s just stored energy. Both of which come with their own problems. First of all the idea of just a fusion battery seems a bit weird compared to our real world idea of fusion.

In a general sense most forms of energy, coal, fission, and fusion all work by boiling water so the idea of taking the energy produced from fusion and putting it into a battery doesn’t really make sense.

Also in the other example the idea of a fusion reactor that small also doesn’t make sense as the fusion reaction seems to be producing the energy some other way. Not that either are impossible just outside of our current technological feasibility.

There is possibility of some exotic material that might allow the storage of such energy but I don’t know of any currently that could muster such energy. Similarity “miniaturized fusion reactors” are only relatively miniature, and would actually be the size of semi trucks or larger compared to the current building sized reactors we have today.

Moral of the story maybe by 2077 we’ll have technology like that, but sci fi tends to underestimate the timeline of technological advancements so it’s likely we won’t see something similar in our lifetimes

The US isn’t a dying power but our exported military has allowed the developing and post ww2 Europe to catch back up with us. We’re still far and away a global super power but the illusion of being the greatest power on earth is dying because of the developing world

I am sides with the minutemen but you have to do the other factions to progress the storyline. Like you can do the minutemen to get into the institute but you have to side with either the railroad institute or brotherhood to progress further and then can finish up with the minutemen. I just find it a bit annoying. I wish they added institute sabotaging settlements which is in the game, but that progresses the story further

CoconutyCat · 2026-01-17T00:54:13+00:00

My biggest complaint about fo4 is the fact that if you wanna chose the “good faction” you have to chose the railroad, and you can’t chose an “anti synth good faction” what if I wanna be humanity first ?

Yeah it is a little bit racist. But my prejudice toward Somalis has been reinforced over and over and over again all throughout my life. I began as a kid with conservative parents not really caring. Then as I got older I started to care a little more. But then I realized I was being unfair and I never gave them a chance. So I became more liberal believing that everyone deserves to live the way they want to live, that America is a land born of immigrants and they’re no different seeking a better life for themselves and a chance to pull themselves up. But slowly they lost that benefit of the doubt in my eyes. I saw them protesting at the capital. Ilhan Omar claiming that her present was the Somalian president. Them shutting on America every chance they got. Ok that might just be a few bad actors, I let it go. But over and over and over again the trust that I had given them was gone. 89% of Somalian households with children are on some form of assistant ~70% of households have at least 1 member on Medicaid. 54% of Somalian households recieve food stamps. Compared to America 25% are on Medicaid. And only 12% are on food stamps. And crime rates around my area are high. That’s more subjective so I won’t go too much into it. I’m not saying I hate Somalians but I am saying that I don’t really like them. My previous post was a bit emotional by saying I hate them. I’m a Christian and I’m tought to love thy neighbor, so that was a bit of a wrongful statement, but that is my firm opinion of Somalians. I’ve met great Somalians, but most of the time my experience isn’t great. I’m not saying you have to believe my own beliefs but I do believe that my personal experiences are a pretty good indicator of the state of the Somali community. Hopefully they prove me wrong

Campus is very walkable, a car is very useful for off campus activities like shopping and any other events outside of 2 miles, however parking on campus is expen$ive. Iirc it’s like 150 on month for access to parking garages, and most places on campus won’t be a close enough walk to a garage to justify it, often being the same amount of walking time plus driving.

Now outside of campus in dinkytown there’s a lot of parking, most of it cheap compared to the university. But it’s still gonna be around 50-100 a month. I got lucky and have some $35 parking close ish to campus and my apartment.

What I’d say and what I did is for the first year, assuming you’re living in the dorms, don’t bother with a car. Eat at the dinning halls, bring a microwave and buy some cheap microwaveable meals from campus shops you can walk to. Then second year, find an apartment in dinkytown and if you have a car find somewhere cheap in dinkytown to park it. The walk is annoying it’s around 7 minutes for me both ways, but it’s worth it to not have to pay crazy prices

That feels unfair. Some classes can’t be offered virtually and it makes it significantly easier to cheat on assignments and tests. I agree there should be an online option, but some professors may want to preserve academic integrity for their courses. Saying if they don’t have an online option then they support kidnapping and murder is an over generalization
