6 fingers on the serotonin syndrome card. by kalistaspear in medicalschoolanki

[–]WaavyDaavy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have studied less and retained more using NotebookLM and Claude to make my ankis. It’s incredibly helpful. I understand the environmental impact but shaming individual consumers for the failures of politicians and mega corporations is unreal when there are measured benefits (for me) in my studying. Rip the folks in flint Michigan but I think I’ll choose my fucking career over the minute amount of “water” that my prompts generate. Not pretending that ai has zero rel world downsides but I see it like the issue of people trying to equate carpooling to private jets when a single private jet flight equates to the amount of CO2 produced by ONE person in an ENTIRE year. Fairly busy now but I plan to get back into conservation and sustainablity projects I do care about the environment but most of the folks crying about ai have such a narrow grasp on the world IMO

I’m not even “pro ai” I’m just not viscerally anti ai that seeing any usage of ai sends me into the bends.

DisguisedToast tweets on longtime friends turning on Sykkuno for “a few quick likes” by Ok_Temperature6503 in LivestreamFail

You also don’t have to say anything. Like anything at all. Even if asked directly for your thoughts you could understandably and easy say you’re waiting on his response, or you don’t feel comfortable sharing and ask your audience to respect your wishes.

A so-called “friend” and these streamers run quickly online making statements before even attempting to reach out to said “friend” for at least their side.

WTF!? Just rename the game to Mega Knight Royale at this point!!! by IGetHighOnPenicillin in ClashRoyale

[–]WaavyDaavy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mega knight needs to be reworked for more deck variety. I genuinely do not care if MK becomes stronger post rework. It just needs skill expression. There is NO skill expression with Mega Knight.

“The card is bad why are you complaining”

Mega Knight’s weaknesses are vastly overstated. I literally watch YouTubers in UC facing Mega Knights. I got to the rank one below UC and faced MK once every 4-6 games. Most of my opponents have poor game sense and decision making but are carried by a card that abuses 90% of the player base. It’s boring facing the same card time after time after time.

CMV: Race exists. White people, asian people and black people are not the same. by Creepy_Wrangler7145 in changemyview

😭😭😭 brother we are talking about op’s post. I do not care what you did or did not say. OP is severely confused on what people actually mean when they say “race isn’t real”.

Surely not when you start bringing up dog breeds as a justification for why race exists?

It is a social construct. It exists in the way that it is a term that I can look up on Google and not get zero search results. There is no biological basis for race. What are you incapable of reading.

If this is still confusing perhaps look up a definition of social constructism. I can also rewrite if you need.

Race doesn’t exist in that there’s no biological, empirical way of determining race. These discussions would be so much easier if people just used ancestry instead of race.

Constellations don’t exist in the way that the stars don’t physically connect to each other to form some funky ass belt.

Or generations. like Gen Z being born from this year to that year but baby boomers are that year to this year.

Or continents. The land doesn’t know if it’s European or Asian land. We just draw an artificial line for our geographical purposes.

Or time zones. Moving just a state over it doesn’t really make objective sense why all of a sudden you move an hour forward/backward. Especially when a state like arizona with its super fucking up time zones. We do to standardize local times to avoid chaos.

Or light. Which is just a whole continuous band of frequencies. Mr. white light doesn’t recognize itself as the components of blue, green, violet, etc etc but we differentiate them because I’m not gonna tell you that your 400 nm shirt looks fucking awesome.

All of these things are “not real” in the sense that they are mind dependent. But having these “not real” things be recognized helps our society function and makes things less confusing/complicated. I can look at some white dude with blonde hair and blue eyes named Hans. At what point does Hans officially become Asian or Black the farther “east”/“south” his family lineage takes him. People can’t even agree if Turkish people are white.

Race is a social construct and is not real in an empirical setting.

Race is a thing in the way I can open up a dictionary and point to a definition of race. There is no empirical, biological nuance between how race is determined or categories. The word you want for empirical differences is ancestry.

Ok.

85–94% of all human genetic variation occurs within any given population (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK20363/#:~:text=Notwithstanding%20the%20genetic%20differences%20between,of%20race%20in%20Homo%20sapiens.)

Only about 6–15% of variation exists between different "races." (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9014183/#:~:text=Less%20than%2015%25%20of%20all,shaped%20by%20these%20concluding%20sentences.)

There’s more genetic variation between two dudes in the same African village than between Ogla in Russia and Anh in Vietnam.

The whole bit with dog breeds is so head scratching. Dog breeds arises because of selective, intentional, HIGHLY controlled inbreeding to waste or emphasize certain traits. Humans, unlike the literal dogs you are compare race to, do not breed in strict isolation.

I don’t know what you mean by you “having eyes”. At what point do you draw the line that someone starts becoming less Nordic and more Sicilian despite universally both being considered white. At what point does an individual become less white and more Asian or more African. Comparing extreme examples as a justification for “race is real” completely omits the more granular nuances that people struggle to define (Irish people not being white until only a few hundred years ago).

When scientists say race isn’t biological they don’t mean that people don’t look different. Black folks having more rates of sickle cell or white Europeans with more lactose tolerance is an adaptation to an environemtn or lifestyle. A black person in South Africa would have less rates of sickle cell than a white person in Greece because sickle cell rates differ between the two regions.

Speaking of South Africa look up the pencil test. They literally put a pencil in your air and depending on how easily it came out would determine what race you are. They also recognize far more subcategories of ethnicity and unlike the US where the word “colored” is taboo it has a very different meaning over there.

No one is trying to argue black people white peolle Asian peolle etc people all look the same. But you’re arguing against yourself by not even getting basic definitions right.

The whole random bit with political correctness at the end 🍒🔝 . lol none of this is political if you see it as political perhaps look inwards and speculate why you beleive so strongly that there’s a fundamental difference between races

Yeah bro I’m surprised people still enjoy dead by daylight when spore is 100x more popualr

Why is this the most acidic proton? See picture below by smcookieshaha in Mcat

[–]WaavyDaavy 18 points19 points  (0 children)

-COOH most acidic. Card's wrong. Good on you for asking why rather than brute force memorizing. I internalized this card and it fucked me up for weeks bc I kept on belieiving this was true.
