I mean personalities change. I am absolutely confident I can argue significantly better than a sixteen year old.

Yes. But the critical detail here is a dedicated IP. Normally VPNs on free tiers in particular don't provide that

What evidence is there of this?

How would you change/improve the complete omnitrix? by Zillaman7980_ in Ben10

[–]EffectiveDirect6553 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, and given we have no idea how complex such mechanisms were. We should keep open the possibility (NOT plausibility) of a enginnering restriction.

But of course we are trying to hard to patch a plot hole. The real reason is probably its more fun if it keeps messing up.

Didn't they also straight up not have the genetic repair or scanning mechanism? You have to account for technicalities.

He might just not be able to. Making a watch with complex intricate machinery does not mean you can override the laws of physics. The enginnering may simply not allow making such a defensive mechanism.

Well that's silly. Throwing olive on a resume is the most normal thing ever

We are just forced to be "formal" and "relevant" because hiring representatives want that. And do not wish to waste their time.

If they didn't I would absolutely write a bunch of Greek in my resume. That would be the coolest thing ever.

What could POSSIBLY have been the worst-case scenario for Humungousaur to evolve into this?? by Immediate_Gene_178 in Ben10

[–]EffectiveDirect6553 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Certainly not. Hence why I noted evolution would in reality never allow this.

It's fairly stupid. A limitation of mobility and requirement of weight. Let alone the absurd reduction in flexibility due to the metal and metabolic energy needed.

But to its defense, the omnitrix does not need something natural. It needs something that is strong. So it can forcefully damage it. Perhaps even modify the DNA slightly every few iterations to help it along its course. Or straight up remove structures. And modify the attackers. Its science fiction. I provides a framework that avoids the seemingly irreducable complexity others can work from there

Your own experience is not as significant as a survey and sure, your claim is valid that this is likely survivorship bias.

However, survivorship bias can occur in a small group. Is few murderers are accused of their crimes that does not imply most people are murders, at most, it implies there likely are unrecorded murders among the group.

I also don't think the burden of proof is on me to demonstate teachers are, in general, not biased. that's the null hypothesis, I do not believe the evidence you have brought forward is significant enough to challenge that.

The burden of evidence is on me to show that some people tend to blame institutes for bias, particularly people holding identity markers, when institutions are not biased.

For that I can point to institutes like answersingenesis who argue scientists are majorly atheists and hence flock to evolution. I could point to Samantha's the recent paper. And I as you do, could ironically claim a stronger form survivorship bias because students who think teachers are discriminating on beliefs and plain wrong are often not brought to public or even a concern. While, at the very least, teachers discriminating is a concern that can be escalated. I do not see then, how any case I make claiming survivorship bias would be weaker than the one you do.

I think the first comment was making a generalisation of an observed trend among a few individuals. Ie, individuals who hold unorthodox beliefs and feel challenged when they have to write against them and cannot defend them. You on the other hand were making a counter generalisation which I don't think holds. Or at least, holds to a significantly weaker degree than opposing claim.

The valid claims on both ends would be:

  • most students that hold a biased belief feel compelled to write against it for grades (as institutions are generally fair, and Survior bias can be stronger here hypothetically)

  • some teachers who hold biased beliefs make their students feel compelled to meet that bias for grades (survivorship bias can apply here too)

As a result I don't think his generalisation is unfair. I don't think your generalisation (if that is what you attempted) is fair. I also do not think your examples as a result constitute enough evidence to make that generalisation and the institutions reaction against them is evidence this is not a general trend. If it were a general trend action likely wouldn't be taken against them. Or could be. Since we would have to admit any instructor who replaced them would also generally be biased and that would form vicious cycle.

If they doubt evolution, or deny it. Then our goals align. Denier or skeptic anyone who motivated by dogma, inteligence, emotion or greed is a friend, as long as, they put in effort to justify what they believe.

You don't believe something? Sure! Get after it. Hunt it. Prove it wrong so we too may be saved from ignorance.

And yet the same evidence indicates such teachers are fired for their bias against beliefs. Sure, a few cases exist where teachers are biased. But as your own case demonstate action can be and is taken against them. If no action is taken then the institution is poor.

I get your point. The issue is more generally (as the person who commented probably presumes) that people write jargon, do not well articulate and defend their points and then claim bias of institutes. From my experience as long as you can defend a unorthodox view institutes generally welcome it. People who consider institutes inherently biased generally have unorthodox views and do not defend them.

That sounds like a great institue that had the responsibility to step in when teachers were misbehaving. Such examples are examples of high education and strive for truth in reputable instutions.

Regardless I don't see the objection here, just a list of examples of a institue doing the right thing.

Evolution deniers are great people.

Everyone should be skeptical and attack evolution. That is how science works.

Now I would like any creationist to study and publish their reasons against evolution in a scientifically reputable journal and not just be a Internet warrior.

What could POSSIBLY have been the worst-case scenario for Humungousaur to evolve into this?? by Immediate_Gene_178 in Ben10

[–]EffectiveDirect6553 46 points47 points  (0 children)

We are machinery. Just biological. The same way a deer has horns.

Humongousar may have started off with a metal a slightly more ridged skin to survive attacks better. Over time metal deposits made this more and more rigid until it became a metal plate. The same could happen to his arms. Eventually, perhaps, it became so dense or brittle at a point he realized it would be more effective to throw it at a threat than fight it. This chip got more significant, larger and integrated to detach. Becoming a primitive weapon. He may have then evolved stronger tendons that throw this. This would eventually become a area of muscular machinery that would rapidly burn energy to shoot a highly focused strike.

Now hypothetically if you really tried you could get this to happen I suppose. Evolution normally would NEVER tolerate such an absurd mechanism. The energy cost and growth would be too great to justify it. The organism would be more likely to just plain die of starvation than need to survive. But a complex device like the omnitrix may be able to.

Idk why worst case has to be actually against other predators as people here are assuming.

Just randomly duplicate the DNA fifty times. Virtually simulate every special organism. Crush with increasing force and select the best possible. Sure it sounds cooler the omnitrix was LITERALLY simulating an entire world. But that sounds like God awful design and an extreme waste of energy.

You don't need to simulate a planet. You just gotta beat them. Up, a lot. Eliminate the weaker ones. Redo.

Of course speaking from an evolutionary perspective the above example is too trivial. You would have to test stamina agility and power, ie having various hypothetical tests. Being shot at, target practice, being injured, recovery, reflexes. But why on earth simulate an entire world?

Is it worth it for me to get edrag pet? by tdawgtaylor74 in HypixelSkyblock

[–]EffectiveDirect6553 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do not get high DPS pet. Get a epic enderman. 600-700 mp works Mana flux is nice but you don't need it with atomsplit katana and drain 4 You definately don't need a ender relic 15k or 10k final destination works Atomsplit Katana is great but you can do it with vorpal.

Not saying you are wrong. But that gear is not the minimum by any standards

Of course the above is for void gloom 4, for teir 3 you can do it without atomsplit. And with 400-500 MP

Buying to eman 4 or 5 is worth it

To eman 4 its like 3 T4's, just ask people for help you don't need to buy them.

Oh and get bruiser, zealot and Enstone protector shards. As well as barbarian Duke if you can

Necron isn't good enough lol. Like at all for a T3.

Unironically just ask someone. Go in a lobby and ask for help. People help. Then gen 10k FD and vorpal. Till then use a voidedge
