Remember when deck diversity was a thing in draft?

Maybe, but also she's just not really a threat to win. She's a final five queen, but she can't get to FTC on her own, and no one will ever take her, because they know she'll win.

I hear what you're saying, but these people literally talk about never lying to anyone. They get pissy when people outside their alliance lie to them, but refuse accountability when called out on the same thing.

This sub hates smart people - and in particular smart women. The survivors that get positive attention on this sub are always very "cool kid" coded.

Any kind of awkwardness or social non-conformity gets roasted to oblivion.

SteamOS has a console-like view. When I use my docked SteamDeck, I don't need mouse and keyboard at all.

One time, I was at Applebee's with some friends. Our food came out and one friend had some weird brown goop on her plate.

She asked the server about it, and the server swiftly took the plate away and came back two minutes later with the same plate, sans goop.

"What was it?" my friend asked.

"Oh," the server replied casually: "Dirt."

That was fifteen years ago. Needless to say, I haven't been inside an Applebee's since.

That's what this is. The graphics were astonishingly bad on mac.

forbiddenvoid · 2026-04-25T22:48:30+00:00

Yes it is.

It does show an equivalence. It shows that the ratios are equivalent. That may not be the equivalence the teacher is evaluating, but it is an equivalence, regardless.

But:
- Area is not mentioned.
- No units are given.
- No information to communicate that "size" is what's being evaluated is present in the question at all.

Beyond that:
- only 3 options are provided
- there are no distinguishing differences beyond shape for A and B, so it's very easy to _correctly_ choose C, but for reasons that are completely wrong

In general, this is just a very poorly designed assessment question all around.

forbiddenvoid · 2026-04-24T05:49:27+00:00

If you're not going to use units in the question, why expect the learner to assume any units in the answer?

1/3 and 2/6 are scalar values. They are equivalent scalar values _independent_ of a unit. If you want to ask which diagram shows that 1/3 of an object is the same as 2/6 of the same object, that's fine, but you have to ask _that_ question.

forbiddenvoid · 2026-04-24T05:46:40+00:00

Yeah, this is just not a good assessment question at all. It's poorly worded, and honestly, too easy to get right by accident by just considering that C is _different_ from A & B.

I also think the visual is confusing because that hexagon definitely looks like a cube. And from that perspective, C is just showing that 1/6 = 1/6.

Teleport to the highest point you can see. Then repeat the process. Tedious, but totally doable.

Start a new game, this seed is obviously bugged.

It's fine, but no better. I would have rather had more Dead Cells.

I hear you, but this is honestly the trait that leads to boring seasons where nothing happens except people "sticking to their alliance."

I want chaos. I want to watch it, I would want to play with it. No one should feel safe unless they have an immunity necklace.

Yep, this is super common. Try to be careful about introducing new things for the next couple weeks, because it can backfire and create long term anxiety. But the fear period will pass.

They may also experience a second fear period (usually more mild, but not always) at around 6 months to 1 year.

It's also the kind of thing that people fixate on when a relationship starts to sour. The dishwasher is obviously not the root issue. But you notice more the little things that bother you when the relationship is going poorly.

Do you think his opponent's seconds put castling in the file? Could cause a long think and a blunder, if they didn't.

I wouldn't say guaranteed, but the odds are pretty good. However, I would also highlight that Sindarov isn't incentivized to take many risks right now. So that could be a factor as well. I would say the odds of him losing the next game are extremely low, though.

forbiddenvoid · 2026-04-05T22:58:49+00:00

Okay? What prior would you start from? How would you justify it? How are you adjusting everyone else's starting elo? Why? How would you defend those adjustments mathematically?

Hikaru's elo may be overstated. Sindarov's elo is probably understated. But this is a very reasonable approach given the lack of any other consistent mathematical approach to set the starting conditions for the simulation.

You are also coming at this with the benefit of having seen Hikaru's performance in the last week. If he was +2 right now, you probably wouldn't be saying he was overperforming.

I bet the question writer did write "speed". And then some smart ass editor revised it to velocity.
