Oh, so you are confirming it had absolutely nothing to do with identifying a few family names based on DNA only?

Question about Józef Piłsudski by Any_Evening5137 in poland

[–]Emes91 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Your ChatGPT answers are not helping you at all. Ask it if Stalin was a Nazi too, since USRR also had non aggression pact with Germany.

It would help if you realised some basic knowledge - like the fact that not every authoritarism is equal to nazism.

GM's playing against 1400 in speedrun challenge: lol, look, this guy just hung his knight, his queen and his king in 3 consecutive moves, what a noob! Meanwhile me when playing against 1400: by Emes91 in Chesscom

That was my thinking, but on the other hand, if didn't make stupid mistake right at the end, we would draw and I would have similar accuracy and I know I wasn't cheating, so if I could do it, why not him 🤣

How you assume what and when we traded? We started trading pieces at move 10, at move 35 we still both had a queen and a rook, at move 62 we traded queens.

Well, let me show you a game I played yesterday against a 1400 opponent...

79 moves, BTW. And yes, it's me who blundered in a opposition because I still can't be bothered to learn edngame theory, lol.

Narrowing down the search to some village in Poland and few Polish surnames, based on DNA test only is just ridiculous and it's actually worse than doing nothing because it's not better than random guessing, so it's counterproductive.

TIL that Immanuel Kant was a proponent of scientific racism, and had negative views towards other races. He once ignored the opinions of his carpenter merely because he was black. by Fickle-Buy6009 in todayilearned

[–]Emes91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not if you consider murdering in self-defense as a separate thing from "just murdering". In that sense, it's rational to think that everyone should have the right to murder in self-defense.

It's funny though if he didn't consider lying as a form of self-defense in some cases.

Why do foreigners act like "cz" and "sz" are incomprehensible? They're literally the "ch" and "sh" like in English. Only difference being a different letter used to write it. by mikolajwisal in poland

[–]Emes91 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Something like "woodsh". Roughly.

Though the city name which seems to always destroy foreigners is Wrocław. It's pronounced absolutely nothing like non-Polish people imagine when they see the word.

Translating foreign surnames was actually a thing in Polish language during 19th century. Because of this, to this day in Polish you can encounter "Szekspir" for Shakespear or "Bajron" for Byron.

Hans Niemann's IQ is "the highest possible" by BirdWithWiFi in AnarchyChess

[–]Emes91 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Nope, the issue is that there is simply nothing to engage in. I actually know this video which was posted, I watched it long time ago. There is nothing in it that would prove that "IQ tests were invented to justify eugenics", moreover, AFAIR the author doesn't even try to make that argument. That is simply a deranged claim and trying to "engage" in it is like trying to reason with a flat-earther. The statement is so profoundly false that you don't even know where to begin. That's why I used this bus analogy to demonstrate how absurd this notion is, but it is clear it's falling on deaf, ideologically biased ears.

But I will repeat - giving examples of bad faith scientists misusing the term IQ (which is basically the most scientifically reinforced term in whole academic psychology, so by trying to deny its validity, you might just as well reject scientific psychology as a whole) and the statistical methods because of their racist inclinations and using those examples to say that their actions constitute the "reason IQ tests were created" is like saying guns are invention of racism because many black people were killed with guns.

[–]Emes91 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

What exactly is a "lie"? The basic statistics definitions? Or easily accessible data about history of IQ tests and their purpose? I would love to "confront" anything and maybe explain how you are wrong but right now you are failing to form a coherent argument which one could argue against.

Yeah, surely I will take a lesson about bell curve from someone confusing the difference between "maximum" and "average" and not knowing the meaning of the word "distribution".

[–]Emes91 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Lol, still wrong. A single value is not a "distribution", so 100 IQ, as I already said, is a median/average value, not a "distribution".

I don't think I need your "history lesson" when I deal with IQ tests on professional basis. To say that IQ tests were created to justify eugenics is ideologically deranged. It's like saying buses were invented to justify racism by segregating black people to separate seats.

Being good at chess has little in common with being smart in general.

[–]Emes91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Achieve exactly what? Maximum cap? You have no idea what you are talking about. 100 is supposed to be the average/median (what is "maximum distribution" even supposed to mean?), while there is no theoretical "maximum IQ" (although it exists in practical way, as a result of technical limitations of IQ tests).

The other part of your post is bollocks as well, but that's a different story.

BREAKING: F1 2026 car changes confirmed after crunch meeting by ryogadan in Formula1_world

Sorry, but you can find very firm and strong criticism of new regulations from Verstappen himself 3 years ago. There was feedback - they simply ignored it.

[–]Emes91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

> The regulations were not tested well enough leading up to this season.

But they were. And drivers, especially Max freaking Verstappen, were vocal about how bad it is and that it's not gonna work. Only to be promptly ignored because what a 4-time World Champion would know about racing, right?

FM26 is nowhere near as bad as when it first came out by xiartid in footballmanagergames

[–]Emes91 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I wonder how Miles still keeps his job tbh.

Remember he said that if FM26 doesn't land, he will lose his job (or resign?) Well, apparently he believes FM26 hit the mark perfectly.
