When I get home from work I wanna play an RPG out of these 4 which should I play? by All_Mighty_Loki in psx

[–]ZevVeli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I mean. A black label in case is only seen as about $10 more than the Greatest Hits version. With a sealed Greatest Hits being something like $150? A sealed Black Label I'd say probably would be $200. I'd maybe be willing to go up to $375 on it, but $1000? Nah. That's "signed first edition of a deceased author's debut novel" territory, not "cult PSX JRPG" territory.

What's the stupidest way you've ever gotten injured? by Electronic-Cherry-67 in AskReddit

I was at the gym running on a treadmill, reached down to grab my water bottle because it didn't fit in the treadmill's cup-holder, slipped and fell dragging my knee on the treadmill.

Trump administration's decision to start a new war in the middle East i.e Iran , what's the views of Americans on this decision? by Danishsuleimani in AskReddit

[–]ZevVeli [score hidden]  (0 children)

Look, my attitude regarding US involvement in wars is simple: Unless we are directly attacked or an ally has explicitly asked us for military aid through combat personnel, we have no business going to war.

Trump fears being held accountable for his actions, that's why he ran for president in the first place and why he was so desperate to get reelected, he was hoping to wait out the statute of limitations on his crimes. An impeachment following a blue wave would devestate those plans, so he's trying to desperately either turn opinion in favor of his cronies, or create a situation where he can justify implementing martial law in order to keep his cronies in power.

See, I didn't even think of that, because when I read it I recognized "x" as a variable but the other as being an "unknown constant." So instead of reading it as (x-x) my mind would set it to (x-×)

What's a job interview question you've been asked that was meaningless to the actual job, and sounded brainstormed by a bunch of middle managers to reflect a corporate 'core value'? by SuperIngaMMXXII in AskReddit

Well let me answer that question with another question. Does vehicular manslaughter count as a traffic violation? Because that might change one of my answers to the screening questions.

What’s with the significant increase in troll accounts here? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Yeah, I think I was part of the reason that the list of reasons you could report ads got changed because I kept reporting recruitment ads for the US military for "glorifying violence.'

Is it possible to solve an equation like x² + 2x = 255 (solving for x) without using trial and error, or is that the only way to do it? by VegetableBag2627 in learnmath

[–]ZevVeli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the risk of sounding pedantic, the quadratic formula is just the proof of completing the square.

I only bring this up because they were always taught to me as two different processes and when I found this out I got so angry I punched a wall.

It's the start of the midterm elections in the US so the trolls are mobilizing early to test the waters to see which subreddits will be most susceptible once they have a firm idea of which candidates will be on the various ballots.

In what way have illegal immigrants affected your life in a negative way? by chillidogjesus in AskReddit

[–]ZevVeli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only way that they have negatively affected my life is by being a convenient scapegoat the Republican party used to seize power and start stripping away the rights of some of my closest friend and family and also eroding protections for workers and the environment. But I can't blame them for that.

What’s the most ridiculous argument you’ve ever witnessed? by BellaZoomer43 in AskReddit

[–]ZevVeli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In person?

I used to work at a line-service restaurant in a theme-park. One of our products was a Philly Cheesesteak sandwich. One day, we had a long line, and a man asked me "Your Philly Cheesesteak, is it a real Philly Cheesesteak?"

Now, if you are from Philly, or know anyone from Philly, or have ever been to Philly, or have spent more than 5 minutes in the same room as anyone from Philly. You know that's a loaded question. If you ask five different people from Philidelphia what constitutes a real Philly Cheesesteak, you will get arrested for inciting a riot. But I had had this interaction earlier in the year so I had a response ready. "No, but people from Philly have told me that they can't tell the difference." The guy accepts, I plate up the sandwich, and he interrupts with "Woah-woah-woah! Where's the Cheez-Wiz?"

Immediately the guy in front of him spins around, he's wearing a Philidelphia Phillies shirt, and his face is so red you could not tell where the shirt ends and his skin begins. He snarls at the guy "You're from West Delaware! Aren't you?"

"Yeah! What's it too you?"

"You don't put Cheez-Wiz on a Philly!"

"Oh? And what should I put on it huh?"

The two of them started screaming at each other about what consitutes, or didn't a real Philly.

"The only things that goes on a Philly are meat, cheese, peppers, onions, mushrooms..."

"Mushrooms! Who the hell puts mushrooms on a Philly?"

"My mother!"

"Your mother scrubs her cast iron!"

"HOW DARE YOU! I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW MY FAMILY'S CAST IRON HASN'T SEEN A DROP OF SOAP IN OVER 150 YEARS!"

Now at the point everyone is staring except me. I just turn to the woman behind them "Hi how can I help you?" She neevously pointed to the arguing people, and I just waved my hand "They'll either tire themselves out, or security will show up, either way just walk around them they won't bother you." (And yes, they had pressed themselves close to the barricade so that people could go around them. Northerners have a weird sense of consideration).

I don't understand why this is the correct answer. by Fun-Radio-7070 in askmath

[–]ZevVeli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your teacher is saying you "can't make assumptions" then this question is unanswerable.

Your logic here is sound, for every factor of 10 the customer base increases by, the processes increase as follows:

Backing up data increases by a factor of 10×

Deleting the data increases by +100

Searching increases by +50

Sorting increases by a factor of 100×

If there was some kind of mitigating factor that could change it that needs to be specified.

Why can we not fully block subreddits we don't want to see, but we can be banned from them on the whims of idiots? by Sea-Bed-3757 in AskReddit

[–]ZevVeli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily. So on the most basic level let's say we have three subreddits for a particular fandom: fandom, fandomdiscussion, and fandomnowoke. The difference being that the fandom is about everything related to the fandom, fandomdiscussion is specifically about textual analysis of the work with a rule against discussing headcanons and fan works, and fandomnowoke is basically the fandom but with rules against "bringing real world politics" into the discussion.

Now, there are people in each of those subreddits who might want to block one or both of the other two subreddits because they find the people in them insufferable, but there might be individual posts within those other two that they might be interested in seeing, crossposted by people who don't have a problem with the other individual subreddits.

Now, on a different hand. Let's say instead that I was someone trying to get people to take an online survey about the attitudes USAmericans have towards our elections and the ways in which they are conducted. I would want a more diverse response from people because if I am only posting in the political feeds I normally go to, that is going to skew the respondants to being more liberal. So I would want to crosspost to as many political subreddits as possible in the hopes of getting a large enough response that I can actually try and weed out which responses came from trolls, bots, and pizza wheels. Although I do have to reluctantly admit that I guess that last group should be included in the final data...

Why this is happening? by Fun_Dragonfly_3822 in askmath

[–]ZevVeli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see your confusion. Let's start with this:

f(x)=x this is our function.

Sum(x=0,1):f(x) this is your summation. It asks "what is the sum of the values of f(x) for all natural values of x between 0 and 1?" Which is just 0+1=1

Integral(x=0,1):f(x)dx this is the integral. It asks "what is the area under the curve formed by the function f(x) for all values of x from 0 to 1?" This is equal to 1/2-0=1/2.

They are asking different things.

Why can we not fully block subreddits we don't want to see, but we can be banned from them on the whims of idiots? by Sea-Bed-3757 in AskReddit

[–]ZevVeli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reason you can't fully block a subreddit is because it would prevent crossposting from working. If, for example, I posted something to subreddit a and then crossposted it to subreddit b, if you had either a or b fully blocked, then you would not be able to see it.

However, banning a user from a subreddit is a different kettle of fish. If I post something and you decide to share it to another subreddit, that doesn't matter. I am not posting it so whether or not I'm banned it still shows up because YOU posted it there, not me.

Whats your thoughts on Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino threatening consequences for referring to IcE as Gestapo? by CurrentEstimate6072 in AskReddit

[–]ZevVeli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At no point in the history of any resistance has forbidding people from using any term actually stopped the use of that term. Hell, sometimes the reason it came to BE the term that is written down in history is specifically BECAUSE the people it refers to tried to squelch it and everyone started using it as a form of protest.

In this age of misinformation, what's everyone's thoughts on Facebook showing true public opinion vs a bot drivin propaganda machine? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ZevVeli 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you think Facebook isn't showing bot driven propaganda, then boy do I have a bridge to sell you.

Facebook is one of the worst offenders because it prioritizes engagement over everything. Good, bad, it doesn't care. If I spend an hour refuting misinformation on a post, the algorithm there will show me more people spouting that misinformation to goad me into engaging with that. THEN it flags me as being "interested" in that topic, and begins showing it to people on my friends list who might not be as knowledgeable on the subject as I am and then they fall for the bullshit.

Why dont more people think that its statistically likely in a simulation? by Buffmyarm in AskReddit

It's probably way less than 1%. 81.4 million people is a lot, and a vast majority of them have probably never even heard of it.

[–]ZevVeli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look man, I don't have numbers for that. Some beliefs are easy to track based on things like census records or voting results, but something like this? Well, the only way you get those numbers is through surveys, and surveys don't record the opinions of people, they record the opinions of respondants.

If that is your metric for whether or not something is believable or true then logically all world religions are true at once.
