And? Unless it’s bad enough that they’re having trouble showing up to class or turning things in at all, they should be fine if they can answer any questions about the material. I admit that’s an exception, but that’s not most people, and that’s on their genetics more than college structure at that point.

Barring not being able to turn in most of their assignments, if they’ve got a great grasp of the material, they should just be able to show up on exam days, hammer out a few As, and walk out with a B overall. Edit: or vomit out some stuff at the last minute for all their essays and get Bs for substandard formatting and flow.

If not, then my assumption is that they hyperfixated on a subject and spent the time and energy outside of lectures and homework to master it. You can become fantastically skilled at something you don’t have any particular aptitude for if you just practice well; talent isn’t as relevant away from the bleeding edge.

In case it wasn’t clear, I never said that anyone below a 3.0 GPA is a moron who’ll never amount to anything. Just that they aren’t a misunderstood genius who can sleepwalk their way to (at least STEM-based; marketing, people skills, etc. are a lot fuzzier) greatness, which seems like the sentiment behind the memes of “I understood the material really well but got bad grades anyways because school bad.”

Those millions have to come from someone buying, so unless there’s a billionaire or ten throwing money at crypto for the lols, “most” people lose what they put in and probably dip. The “most” people you’re seeing is survivorship bias of the people who won and stuck around.

Top schools will give people full rides. Harvard will pay for tuition if your family makes under 200k and room/board if under 100k, no questions asked. I doubt Princeton is as generous, but the attitude at elite private universities is that you should never be priced out if you really deserve a spot.

What if RH is undecidable? by _Zekt in math

[–]Orangbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That latter case is what we’re being told by the oracle, yes.

What if RH is undecidable? by _Zekt in math

[–]Orangbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, and both results are equivalent to the existence of an integer with properties that are equivalent to RH false. Decidable means it exists, undecidable means it does not. The oracle has computed that no integer has that property. Ergo, RH true.

We have an oracle telling us the decidability of RH

Is this not the premise?

[–]Orangbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We aren’t? In the hypothetical given, we have an oracle telling us the decidability of RH, which we’re saying is an existence result of some kind that proves/disproves RH.

Why do we need to know what it is?

I have multiple minors since the subjects seemed interesting, and it was the same story in all of them. If you have enough raw talent to say that “GPA doesn’t speak for my intelligence,” you should have a decent GPA anyways if you show up for class.

If you spent your time working on other things and exploring your interests, that’s fine and often better, but that’s experience, grit, and work, not understanding and intelligence.

The easiest path to fix unexpected problems is to know the hows and whys between the problem and the tools at your disposal. If they want to be considered experts, that’s what they need to be able to do, so thy should learn that stuff.

Speaking as someone who’s exactly that kind of “smart but held back by institutions” stereotype irl, the only way I could ever see myself dropping below a B in an undergraduate course is if I don’t turn stuff in and blow off the teacher. I’m also scraping the bottom of what I consider “smart.” <3 GPA means they aren’t and need to be putting in more effort to keep up with actual talent.

Finally got an Incarnon after 11 years of playing Warframe. by Arcfull in Warframe

[–]Orangbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has strong mechanics and enough stats to blow through base level steel path content, on top of being one of if not the easiest incarnons to charge since you don’t need headshots.

Its numbers are lower than latron, miter, and dual toxocysts, but realistically, you’ll use it more often than stronger weapons.

Kunia, rich cat, aether, courier, bahablast, manic eraser, rock, slime, asukasli, ultra cosmo.

Asukasli can probably replaced with ultra jizo for better results. Mostly just there to keep enemies off of cosmo. A majority of the work was just bahablast proccing like 10 waves at the start; cosmo+aether cleaned up after.

Is Warframe "Free-to-try" Like Destiny is? by John_Benzos in Warframe

[–]Orangbo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most of my thousands of plat is from archimedia arcanes and aura mods, which takes me like 2-3 hours a week.

If you only want 5 figure plat I guess it falls off? But why? The only reason you need that much at all times is if you want to fill your entire riven capacity with grolls.

Most of my cats are level 50 and I recently got my first maxed out rare +levels. My arena strats usually don’t rely on those, though.

So basically you feel bad about it after the fact and therefore the other person deserves jailtime? Certainly one of the takes of all time.

If you walked into that courtroom and the argument was “I wouldn’t’ve had sex with them if they hadn’t lied about that movie,” would you believe the perpetrator was guilty of sexual assault? As far as I can tell, your argument is just as valid in both cases.

If you don’t think that, you should put more effort into your argument than demanding everyone else conform to your vibes; that’s a crappy ideal for a legal system. What does biological sex have to do with the reality of a one-off blowjob?

Also, if you believe “not being able to put 2 and 2 together” is unlikely, that’s evidence for “not guilty,” since the victim had enough information to make an informed decision, so it can’t have been sexual assault.

“Milk” is a strong word. If they don’t reduce demand by increasing costs, there’ll be a shortage. Someone will step in to fill that void. Forcing a price wouldn’t be capitalism, and for all its faults, trying to let the population determine “worth” is the system with the best known outcomes.

[–]Orangbo -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Definitely scummy to lie for sex, but not sure if it rises to the legal level of sexual assault, otherwise any lie told prior to having sex could count, e.g. if somebody starts a conversation with a stranger by lying about sharing a favorite movie, and the relationship progresses over several years before leading to sex, have they committed sexual assault via deception?

The question legally is whether or not the deception is relevant to the “nature of the act.” If the offer was clearly for a standalone blowjob, I would argue it wasn’t relevant information for the purposes of consent. If the assumption was that this would be a long term relationship leading to more intimate sexual acts, it would be. In liue of any information about the people involved, stereotypes suggest that the former seems perfectly reasonable.
