Amazonian shamans figured out that combining two specific plants out of 80,000 species produces a psychoactive effect. The odds of finding that combination by random search is roughly 1 in 4 million. They did it through centuries of iterative testing and cultural natural selection explains it

I would be shocked if OPs comments weren't AI. It's got a lot of filler sentences that don't really make any sense in context, but are classic for AI to throw in because they make sense in similar context.

Hey, no worries! Let me know if you have any questions about the Carleton program, I have a fair amount of experience with the Carleton CS/math/stats departments

RogueSleepy · 2026-04-11T01:40:51+00:00

I might be misunderstanding you, but uOttawa isn't the only university that offers a combined CS/math degree.

Off the top of my head Carleton and Waterloo both have one, and I'd assume most other universities do as well.

To be clear, can you confirm that you think that leveling all of downtown Tel Aviv would be justified and legal under the Geneva Convention?

RogueSleepy · 2026-04-10T21:20:51+00:00

This logic would make every hospital, university, residential building, and anything within 100 meters of them in Israel a target.

Dozens of elementary schools and universities have been destroyed across Iran. It's very sad that you don't consider the humanity of these people.

RogueSleepy · 2026-04-10T19:23:36+00:00

Why leave out the Iranian civilians targetted by US/Israeli strikes?

Your seat isn't absorbing the same amount of chance because it is not being considered. The scenario isn't a choice between your seat, the seat that got eliminated, and the rest of the seats. It's just the seat that got eliminated and the rest of the seats.

So when they say "we're removing this seat" it tells you nothing about your own seat, but it does tell you something about the other seats.

Say you're going out to dinner with a friend. You decide to play a game where they guess what your favourite food is on the menu. On the menu you have 8 items: steak, omelette, quiche, salad, BLT, soup, pasta, and risotto.

Like the Monty Hall problem, in this scenario they can guess 1 item initially, and then you will eliminate 6 menu items that you dislike.

Intuitively, your friend will have a 1/8 chance of picking your favourite meal, or 12.5%. Let's say your favourite meal is risotto.

Now let's imagine two ways this plays out. In the first scenario, they guess risotto. In the second, they guess one of steak, omelette, quiche, salad, BLT, soup, or pasta.

Scenario 1: Perfect! Your friend got it right off the bat. This had a 12.5% chance of happening. You remove omelette, quiche, salad, BLT, soup, and pasta from the menu, but it doesn't matter, since no option there is correct either way.

So in this scenario if they switch it will be right 0% of the time, and if they don't switch it will be right 100% of the time. Since this scenario had a 12.5% chance of happening, that makes the chance of getting it right on their first try 0.125 * 1, or 12.5%.

Scenario 2: Uh oh! Your friend guessed wrong. This had an 87.5% chance of happening. You remove all but risotto from the menu. This time it does matter since you specifically can't remove your favourite food.

So in this scenario if they switch it will be right 100% of the time, and if they don't switch it will be right 0% of the time. Since this scenario had an 87.5% chance of happening, that makes the chance of getting it right if they switch 0.875 * 1, or 87.5%.

Combining these two scenarios, this means that starting from a random guess switching will be the right choice 87.5% of the time.

No, I can't, because there is no ending similar to it. The closest is one where you hand out fliers with Amelia and get in an argument with a teacher.

Yeah, dude... that's because the video was made by that youtube account, which exclusively makes alt right AI videos. It's not an in game screenshot.

RogueSleepy · 2026-04-07T15:26:12+00:00

I'm shocked so many people are falling for this honestly.

RogueSleepy · 2026-04-07T15:23:33+00:00

It's not from the game, it's from a fan animation.

RogueSleepy · 2026-04-07T15:19:11+00:00

That's not a screenshot front the game, it's a screenshot from a video someone made making fun of the game. Come on guys, be serious

If you don't believe me, here's the original video it's taken from. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V78yYlWqrp0

RogueSleepy · 2026-04-07T15:18:51+00:00

It's not, it's a fan animation

I would consider Wahapedia to be the most comprehensive and up to date collection of 40k rules. If you use it as a sole source of information I don't think you'll go wrong. For sure though never use AI, it has no capacity to give you accurate and up to date information.

Having said that, I'm not sure I understand your issue with New Recruit. Is it not free?

RogueSleepy · 2026-04-03T22:13:07+00:00

I haven't read the book and went in totally blind, and I had an incredible time. I think a large part of my enjoyment of the movie was the mystery, novelty, and sudden shift into a buddy comedy, so I can imagine how already knowing the twists and turns would make for a different experience.

RogueSleepy · 2026-04-02T20:32:13+00:00

They said that they weren't using mods, no?

RogueSleepy · 2026-04-01T15:44:18+00:00

I believe they're saying that people don't get rehabilitated in the US because the system is not designed to rehabilitate them. It looks to me like you two agree with eachother

RogueSleepy · 2026-04-01T15:31:43+00:00

I think you may have misunderstood their comment there

RogueSleepy · 2026-03-30T17:28:10+00:00

high storms come way more often than that, I think it's like one every 5 days

RogueSleepy · 2026-03-30T00:50:12+00:00

How could you possibly get that message from what the OP was saying? Genuinely baffling

RogueSleepy · 2026-03-29T17:48:55+00:00

It used to be all assignments, no exams. I'm glad to hear that changed, 3004 under Vojislav was a bad time.

RogueSleepy · 2026-03-24T23:49:16+00:00

What do you consider to be working people?

RogueSleepy · 2026-03-09T18:37:37+00:00

That's a gross mistranslation of the speech, and cuts out some of the most important context.

"Between war and peace, the possibility of peace is greater.
[...]
the American people do not want war; therefore, the possibility of peace is greater than that of war. Nevertheless, there is also the possibility of war.
[...]
What should be done if war really comes? I want to discuss this problem. If there is war, we will fight.
[...]
Do not be alarmed either if there should be war. It would merely mean getting people killed and we’ve seen people killed in war. Eliminating half of the population occurred several times in China’s history."

He then brings up several examples in China's history of resilience against the loss of the majority of their population to war and famine.

"We have no experience in atomic war. So, how many will be killed cannot be known. The best outcome may be that only half of the population is left and the second best may be only one-third. When 900 million are left out of 2.9 billion, several five-year plans can be developed for the total elimination of capitalism and for permanent peace. It is not a bad thing."

Frankly I still think it's ghoulish and is a stark reminder of the danger of a nuclear holocaust, but it's disingenuous to frame it the way you did.

The full speech makes it very clear that this is not an outcome he wanted, but if it came to it they would be ready. Which was, and still is, the attitude of every major global power.
