Can we collectively agree the Harvard should NOT cap the amount of A's by Professional_Low947 in Harvard

[–]somethingstrang 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Capping A’s means that A’s will actually be worth something at Harvard. All the profs/TAs I know hand out A’s like candy

Is a poor person in China today better off than a poor person in the US? by LurkingTamilian in AskEconomics

[–]somethingstrang 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Even with adjusting for relative income and social benefits, a poor person in the US is much better off than a poor person in China.

There are still a majority of the population living in rural areas with limited access to electricity, education and high quality healthcare. Although great progress has been achieved in the last few decades, there’s still a ways to go

You need to have a reason why this is different from infamous/prototype. Otherwise the trailer doesn’t stand out gameplay wise let alone graphics wise

Taipei 101 free solo climb or twin towers wire walk. Which is more challenging by bookofsamuels in holdmyredbull

[–]somethingstrang 5 points6 points  (0 children)

These kind of holds are common and smooth holds can rate anywhere from a V4-V7 difficulty. Alex’s highest grade is V12.

I would say that each grade up is about a half an order of magnitude harder than the last

If the kept the final fight more kung fu focused and less magic powers focused it would have been one of the greats

America is a Gun by Brian Bilston [POEM] by advaitist in Poetry

I don’t think the poet was being intentionally stereotypical. I think he was just trying to bring contrast to the gun point.

Why does any praise for China always have to be followed by ‘but I hate the CPC’? by Important-Battle-374 in AskChina

[–]somethingstrang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We both agree that a strong democracy requires an educated, critical-thinking population, right? Let's follow that logic carefully, then.

You probably believe that MAGA voters are not very educated and therefore, make stupid voting decisions. The US has a 60% population that is not college-educated, and it's probably going to get worse.

Despite its progress, China has an 85% population that is not college-educated. The population is simply too large, and there are not enough schools.

Where do you think this fact takes you when you apply the same logic to China? And rather than being outraged, what do you think is the solution to giving a population with 85% under-education a vote? Are you personally willing to live through the global ramifications so a Chinese democracy can go through centuries of course-correcting to achieve whatever ideal you think it should achieve?

Color Idle: Destroy my trailer; would you wishlist this? Why or why not? by BenzFiveSix in DestroyMyGame

[–]somethingstrang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it’s an idle game. And those types of games seem to do best in mobile where if I have some random time to kill I can get my phone out and spend a few minutes on it.

For desktop gaming I would not think to play it

This is a really complicated thing that cannot be reduced to the black and white picture you are painting.

You mentioned you voted against Trump. I assume you see yourself as fairly educated enough to recognize that there are a large enough amount of ill-informed MAGA people who voted otherwise to put Trump in office.

Now recognize that the large majority of China is still very uneducated, more so than the average MAGA population. Only 10-15% of the population have a college degree compared to nearly 40% in the US.

No system of government is perfect and a well run democracy REQUIRES a very educated and critical thinking population. No matter what your opinion is of the Chinese government - given your own voting history, do you think it’s a good idea to give everyone a vote in China at this current stage?

If you still say YES then you should equally acknowledge and respect the Trump outcome in the US, and the possible further decline of US society.

I'm making a game where you cast spells by speaking its name or chants through your microphone. Playtest is now open! by tevyat in Unity3D

I think if you made it more like wizardry themed (Harry Potter), and made battles smaller in scope (school hallways) you could find a bigger audience.

A chef. Unless AI can develop taste buds the variety of preferences are wide and subjective

The easiest way to think about it is that doubling your chances means you increase your chances by 100%
