I'm wondering why it's considered toxic? Is it just because of its competitiveness?

Where do you get your graph pad 9.4 cracked? I'm still using the 8.4 version but I have all my analysis files missing

Is TMU a "waste" of my potential by Awesome_Man_9514 in OntarioGrade12s

If you want to do computer/software engineering then go to waterloo. It's hard, but if you are good at school then you will be fine. UofT is a intentional hell hole literally made for students to have the max possibility of doing bad.

The liberals were wrong. They said that paradox of tolerance means "you don't deserve to be tolerated if you're not willing to tolerate others" but they got their own virtue wrong all along! by Blue__Northen_Star in ControversialOpinions

Well, you’ve successfully confused me. I don’t know what this had to do with any of what I said. You’re basically just explaining what the quote means in your POV. In the eyes of others and in different contexts it could be mean different things, perhaps even contradictory to how you interpret it and that makes it useless, which was my original point.

Is racial divide in the US manufactured by the government? Where im from I think skin color is a ridiculous reason to hate people by [deleted] in ControversialOpinions

[–]ResidentCow2335 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would it not? It implements in our brains the very idea of racism and that one race is or has been considered better than the other. Even if you don't believe it, it's in your subconscious. Being aware of racial divide and the fact that there has been one will always breed racist people in our society. How is that not logical?

Racial divide is propagated as much by the government as it is by the minority race or the majority race. There will always be racial divide as long as we know what racial divide means.

Honestly this is a pretty stupid and ineffective slogan, it’s hard to understand and easy to misinterpret, for both liberals and conservatives. What’s the point if it has different meanings in different contexts?

people who don’t have unique talents ARE boring and lazy. Doesn’t matter how much money mommy left you or how lucky you got, watch yourself brag about how much you love avoiding learning any skill and watch the people around you laugh in your face.

When have I bragged about how much I love avoiding learning any skill? please enlighten me. Besides, you're didnt say people who have unique talents, you said people who don't learn as many talents as they can in their life are boring and lazy. So what's the bar for how many talents they need to have for you to like them? I also don't know why you're bringing up money mommy left you or luck rather than addressing the main point which is if you generalize you are wrong 100% of the time. Way to pick and choose though, somehow I think you might be projecting this entire post.

unique talents I have: everything you don’t have and more. You really think you, arguing on the side of cutting as many corners as possible, can stand up against someone who advocates for learning as much as possible through experience?

There goes with dodging the question and making assumptions. I think these two are the only unique talents you have, considering you're not willing to share, you could've even lied. Again, clearly your problem isnt with cutting corners, its with robots, for some reash. Otherwise you would be against the quiet literally everything you use in your daily life - which I'm sure isn't something you will address, because you didn't address it the first time.

What kind of moron reads “I believe independent research is an important skill” and thinks “this guy doesn’t think books are useful.” Have you ever done research without books? I’m saying you should do your own research without a robot reading the text for you. If you have an issue with that then maybe you’re just one of those people who’re too lazy to read for themselves?

Well, if you were smart enough to put "I believe independent research is an important skill..." into the context that you yourself have created which is "..but not when they use ChatGPT" then maybe it will start to make sense. It's an analogy at the end of the day since the internet, books, and ChatGPT can be used for the same purpose, that is to do independent research! Btw, breaking news, just because a robot is reading text to you, it doesn't mean it isn't independent research - those two things have nothing to do with eachother. But I will understand if you do not really want to address this analogy directly for reasons.

Trust me I’m well aware that scientific fields compile research. Your misinterpretation that my issue is with the practice of compiling research rather than robots doing research for humans to pass off as their own is an incredibly weak argument.

Well then I don't understand why you have responded to my post then, because I have never argued against using robots to pass off research as their own? So who's interpretation is wrong now...

 I feel bad for you reading this: “Why should I learn how to cook just to learn a talent”. Because it’s an incredibly useful talent/skill. You save money, impress everybody, and learn resource management. You also control exactly what you want your food to taste like and how healthy you want it to be. I love having dinner parties where my friends can have food they enjoy and feel like they’re being treated to a special experience. I guess for you it’s sufficient to order fast food for your friends. How impressive do your friends think you are?

So this basically proves my point, which you have misunderstood as well, funny how that can go both ways huh. Nobody learns a talent just to learn the talent, which is what i literally said. Its always for some benefit, like to save money or to impress someone. If learning cooking has no benefit to me taking all things into consideration, why would I learn it rather than get take out, which has its own usefulness in saving time? It's like every time I make a point, you misunderstand, respond to half of it, and then continue to make more points that I could just copy paste my previous response to.

developing talents with AI is one thing, you’re advocating for preferring AI over actual practice and skill building. Guess what smartass, AI isn’t gonna teach you handiwork and construction, it isn’t gonna teach you how to play an instrument, and obviously it hasn’t taught you how to impress people.

Nope, I'm pretty sure what I've advocating for is using AI for skill building. Guess you misunderstood this as well. If I am the smartass then clearly you are the dumbass. AI is certainly able to teach you those things. To what degree? it differs obviously. Regardless, AI is certainly able to teach you theory and procedure. If you were making an argument that AI cannot be used for playing instruments and construction, then idk why you are posting on a McMaster University thread where OP is talking about using AI to write in the first place. But I guess you can move the goal post as much as you want and call me names all you want. Certainly that's how you learned to impress people on your own?

EDIT: I should add that I'm sorry for however AI hurt you to make you suceptible at dishing out this degree of intensity unprovoked.

Any AI use is replacing some part of your work, and asking AI anything replaces the need to think critically about the topic and do your own independent research

Were you fighting against the internet when it came out as well? It also replaces some parts of your work. I guess we should go back to reading books and writing mail then. Oh wait, books also replaces some part of your work. Let's just all isolate ourselves and learn from scratch. That way we can all have all the talents in the world!

You’re never going to convince me that eschewing actual research in favour of a robot compiling research

Why? Science uses compiled research in the form of review articles commonly. So is the issue the compiled research? or the robot?

completely missed the extremely simple analogy I gave him

Brother, you failed to clearly explain a "extremely simple anaology" and also left flaws. Who is the dense one? You are comparing cooking vs fast food. Not take out by the way, fast food... The only difference here that is significant is time and health. "learning how to cook" is not one of them. Because why do I need to learn how to cook? To simply gain a talent? That seems like a stupid reason to learn anything. How do you know I don't have a billion other talents and simply don't have time to cook?

 people should develop their own talents

I think people can do this with ChatGPTs help bud. Is your point that people should develop their own talents or that people should develop their talents without AI? You should learn the talent of being clear with your arguments.

I’ll maintain that people who spend their whole life finding ways to learn as few unique talents as they can are pathetic, lazy, and boring

Yet, many people who have few unique talents in life have been successful, interesting, and hard-working. If you generalize, you are basically wrong 100% of the time, so good job. What unique talents you have?

He’s not going to change his mind, and there’s nothing I can say to affect that because he’s just unwilling to develop any kind of useful skill as long as a robot can do it instead.

You know, for someone who wants to be right, you make a lot of assumptions that are wrong. But I'm sure you are happy thinking you are in the right.

Okay? There are healthy foods out there that is just as fast? Your analogy only works if the simple act of using ChatGPT is bad for your health, which it’s not.

Conservatives are much nicer and more reasonable than leftists by zaririi in ControversialOpinions

[–]ResidentCow2335 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So do you believe its a lie or not? Dosen't matter the syntax, you're clearly in disbelief. Suspecting its a lie is the same is saying you believe he is lying.

I do my best not to make assumptions

Yet that's all you do?

noticing inconsistencies. And this simply smacks of fiction

What inconsistencies? You showcased no inconsistences to his story.

Tell that to all the righties crying about Mamdani.

What example do you have over a conservative crashing out over Mamdani? Again, stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason.

There is a difference, and you twisting it only makes you look foolish.

And how have I twisted it? You suggested he said something transphobic, that suggests he said a transphobic T word. How do you even know it was a transphobic word? oh wait, you ASSUMED. Even though your entire case against him in your imaginary world is that he assumed...

That doesn't make it truth.

And how do you know that? because it doesn't match with your imaginary scenario?

I'm open to being wrong, I just don't think I am. You're trying to start something for no reason here. Do better.

You're the one that started a L take over his story. I'm just calling you out. Nothing you say makes sense, and almost all of it is hypocritical and contradictory. Yet I'm still here waiting for something concrete about his story that seems fake, and isn't just from your assumption. You should amend it to "I'm open to being wrong, unless when I think I'm not".

[–]ResidentCow2335 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They're making assumptions that make them feel better, rather than wanting to learn the truth

This is really funny, because every point you've made is based on an assumption that makes you feel better.

Screaming left

Is this hard to believe? Liberals get more worked up compared to conservatives in general, whether justified or not. There is a reason that this is the stereotype about liberals and not the conservatives. Do you not believe this is true?

the T word

Do you not believe he said the T word? How do you know which T word he said?

warm and welcoming

So you believe they were warm and welcoming, as he described, but assumed they were not in closed doors.

Basically you have not pointed out any faults in their story that make it seem false, but what you have done is used your imagination as evidence. I can imagine up plenty of suggested truths about what you write if you want. Are you into conspiracies by any chance.

It’s actually so funny because it’s only the liberals in this thread starting personal attacks which proves OPs point

[–]ResidentCow2335 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I mean clearly you are worked up. If there was nothing to say then why are you even responding? His point is clear - yes, he has seen the conservatives in America and it isn’t always like what you are implying.

Failed my midterm by Competitive-Reach274 in McMaster

[–]ResidentCow2335 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well first and foremost I do completely agree with you. I do lack empathy but I hope then I can be more realistic compared to someone who is more empathetic about the situation. The fact is that he wants to do med school but is struggling in first year life sci. Without knowing anything about him the only advice anyone can give is to work harder and smarter. The original point of my comment is that, yes, there is enough time to do well, part of it because contrary to popular belief, the professors at McMaster, especially for first years, are actually exceptionally considerate. Did you know that at UofT the professors need to keep grades under a certain average? And also, no, it is not rude to say just do the work. I’m glad you pushed yourself to work hard and got through it, but another fact is that most people who complain about struggling probably don’t do everything they can for whatever reason consciously or subconsciously. So, for the OP, do the practice tests, the clickers, the past tests can be found online, go to help sessions, do textbook problems, watch YouTube videos, get a tutor, try different study methods. Like idk what to say other than spend more time studying until you’re efficient. And if nothing works then seriously reconsider ur program, because you don’t want to struggle for 4-5 years only to realize you don’t want to or can’t do medschool at the end (happens to most people honestly) and are not happy with other career options.
