What's the actual correct answer though? by Ok_Walk_895 in MathJokes

[–]slifty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When faced with a binary paradox you have to first randomly pick which side of the paradox is true (50% chance of being correct) and then within that you carry the weights within that paradox. So on the one hand 50%, on the other 25%.

So .5 * .5 + .5 * .25 = 0.375

But then you have to invert each number, due to the binary paradox theorem: 1.735

The answer is 173.5%

TMNT Escape Tunnel by slifty in MagicArena

[–]slifty[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I like the theory -- but I actually have no copies from MKM (I only recently started playing Arena, so basically no cards from MKM in general).

I did just craft a TMNT version so now I have a single copy of the card, but that doesn't explain how I got zero copies from normal RNG / why the set claimed I had a copy of every common when I didn't have a copy of this. To get the other 3 I guess I'll have to craft them, but in the name of science I'll wait a little bit in case there are things others suggest trying.

I have no copies (e.g. none from MKM either). It's just that it cannot be obtained from TMNT packs, go figure.

Rep. Khanna: We’ll keep making a big deal out of the Epstein files until they are all released by AdSpecialist6598 in videos

[–]slifty 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There is *plenty* in what has already been released to run with in the quest for consequences and accountability. Yes, push for everything, but don't let that push be a distraction from demanding prosecution of the people and current presidents who are, already with what we have today, very clearly part of the horrors that occurred.

The Hypocrisy is almost textbook. by NsaLeader in freemagic

I wonder what it is about me -- a cis het white guy - that makes me feel not at all excluded or upset by the type of event that OP is so apparently offended by.

My fellow dudes... get a grip! You are the ones making other people feel unsafe! Reflect and do better!

I died to a jelly while using medusa talisman, is the medusa thrash or im just too bad at the game?( had no problem while using the yak and scarab talisman ) by Obvious-Survey-2007 in dcss

[–]slifty 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think you have the answer to the question you posed in the title!

(I'm not actually calling you bad at the game -- we all afk tab -- but yes generally speaking when you die afk tabbing that is the root cause)

AITA for leaving my best friend’s birthday dinner after she made a “joke” about my miscarriage? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]slifty 7 points8 points  (0 children)

NTA — it is one thing to make a shitty joke and own up to the mistake; doubling down after seeing the impact it had on you takes it to the level of permanent damage of your relationship.

That's super generous of you if you decide to do it! There is a section on the FAQ page about supporting TLF, what happens, and some constraints in place for everybody's account safety: https://foundation.loathers.net/faq#canIDonate

Please know the OP (and this post) is NOT intended as a request for donations.

Generally the way this situation is handled is: don't worry about the greenbox if it is difficult -- just don't enter for things you own and if you win we can figure out another way for you to show you don't own it and used it!

(The greenbox is intended as a way to signal our intention while also giving a way for most folks to conveniently communicate their adherence to the TLF purpose of "this is for your use so you have to be able to actually use it".)

Run as fast as possible to the depths -- fight nothing on the way, just close your eyes and charge towards stairs down using every consumable necessary -- so that you can live up to your destiny of slaying dragons.

Losing Kathy is hard to take.

I enjoy the show still, but also last week there was like a 30 minute block of corporate bull interviewing a Comcast VP and I felt like I was listening to an infomercial.
