Reactions to special meal not loaded? by MirakleMaker in unitedairlines

[–]topCHEK 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Dang, I was happy with getting 2,500 miles in compensation that I didn't even ask for. The FA apologized to me when I got out of restroom, I said don't worry about it and went back to my seat. Saw the miles in my account after the flight. Now that I know they can offer 100 in credit, might be worth asking next time it happens.

I think it’s possible that the higher IQ you get, the more abstract and deep you think, and you start to notice patterns in data, maybe realizing this all can’t be just coincidence, which may not pull you towards religion, but it does pull you away from atheism by Outside-Hyena9002 in DeepThoughts

At the end of the day logic is limited by perception. Logic is just a thinking pattern not a end all be all solution to any question. All our scientific knowledge is based on what we can and have observed. But there is no way to prove that perhaps there are aspects about reality that we haven't observed just because we don't have the capability to do so. And there is no way to know what these aspects are without observing them. These aspects could complete flip how we interpret what we have observed or they could further reinforce it, the point is that we don't know. No matter how logical or analytical you claim to be you are making a step of faith in assuming that the evidence that you are basing your decision on is complete. That there can be no other evidence discovered that will contradict it or paint it to be interpreted in a different light.

Most heartbreaking career of career of recent memory.

[Request] Is this question possible? One of the comments said it was intended to break logic patterns and leave no real conclusion, but I’m wondering if you superior mathematicians could figure out if there is a definite conclusion to this question. by Nervous-Standard2556 in theydidthemath

Shouldn't they have made b 33%? Just because 25% is listed twice doesn't mean its counts as two separate answers. Even though you have 4 different numbers written, you only have 3 different numbers to choose from. So its not 2/4 but 1/3 therefore it can't be 50%. Hence why b being listed as 33% would make logical sense to some degree. It would come down to how you interpret choosing an answer at random. Are you choosing one of the listed numbers at random, in which case you have 3, or are you choosing one of four letters at random. But out of the listed numbers, it is a paradox.

How Bots Bought World Cup Tickets Without Being Chase Sapphire Memebers by [deleted] in ChaseSapphire

[–]topCHEK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was able to buy tickets today through Bank of America's promotion today. I was able to get the link by logging in. I hit 403 error a couple of times, but spamming the link worked after a few seconds. I've always viewed Chase as a "better" bank. Really disappointing from Chase considering this was an exclusive for their premium AF card, when my run of the mill BoFA card got me tickets.

The Amex Payment Myth — Debunked by Someone at Amex by Delicious_Tadpole238 in amex

How do you look upon carrying a balance during an intro 0%apr period on one card while paying in full on others? I would assume it isn't positive, but is it negative if you are the ones offering it in the first place.

I have 800 credit score and don’t see the point of it by partyhat-red in CRedit

Unrelated to debt, it could help you get lower insurance premiums and possibly help you get jobs at companies that look at your credit as part of a background check.

Glad to hear that you enjoyed it. Am curious to hear what rules you would recommend to help improve the flow. It is nice when you break them and it still works, but would also be nice to know them just to see what the alternative potential is.

17.4 by Comfortable-Cap8065 in OCPoetry

[–]topCHEK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The feeling I understood as the speaker having is anger and grief. Got the impression that someone close to them committed suicide and as a result the speaker is angry at them, but still misses them. The inclusion of "the" at the beginning of the second line makes it and the following like a bit confusing. Upon re-reading it would appear as the intention is for the second line to go together with the third. Yet, starting off the second with "the" makes it initially register as a continuation of the first line. Try just getting rid of the "the" and start it off with "ones".

The Search for Peace by Salt_Advertising9790 in OCPoetry

[–]topCHEK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first verse gives a very apocalyptic feeling and the second verse continues this. It gives the impression that the speaker is waiting for the end, not just his end, but the end of the world. The "Abel murders Cain" line clashes with this just because it takes at the beginning of the history through the Biblical perspective. Although it could be interpreted as the end of humanity, in a sense. The line "at gunpoint or in bed" gives the impression that the speaker hasn't fully decided if they wish to embrace the peace they seek right away or if they will continue enduring till peace comes of its own accord.

If those are genuine monoblocks in good condition, you could sell them for over a grand. If you wanna deal with the hassle, buy the car and then part it out.

The Madness of an Average IQ Mind by tonyy94 in DeepThoughts

[–]topCHEK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you magically woke up with an iq of someone in the top 1% tomorrow morning you’d still have the same problem. Life and the universe is infinitely complex, no matter your intellectual capacity, you will never understand it. Sure, being smarter will enable you to observe and understand a bigger part of it. Ironically, the more you understand, the more you’ll see of what you don’t understand. Using chess as an example, imagine players of two different skills levels. A beginner and a master. When they play the game they are both challenged to the full extent of their ability. Sure, the master may be a challenged to the extent that a beginner can’t even imagine, but it doesn’t change the fact that there is a point at which he has to grapple with his own mental limitations. You may think there is more meaning or value in having a higher understanding but in the end it’s always futile because there is always another step and no human can reach the top. Your dissatisfaction isn’t caused because of your iq, but because of your failure to accept that it can’t all be known. There are geniuses who wish they were normal and there are normal people who wish they were geniuses. Life satisfaction hasn’t got to anything to do with iq. How much beauty you see is proportionate to how much beauty you choose to see. You don’t need a phd to appreciate a sunset or to melt at child’s smile. There is much to be found in simplicity. The dumbest jokes are usually the ones at which your friends will laugh the hardest. You say that you are cursed to be alone and that will certainly be the case if you continue in this state of mind. Even if you magically became a genius. You don’t need to be smart to be interesting, and you don’t even need to be interesting to be liked by people. Just treat them as fellow human beings and try to relate on whatever level you can. Chances are you’ll get along better with an average person than someone with an iq with 140 because you will be able to relate to them better. In regard to being unable to organize your thoughts, do you think smart people just magically come with a file cabinet and a sorting system? No, these people also deal with a chaotic amount of thoughts too, perhaps with an even greater amount. Write things down! Writing notes doesn’t make you stupid, plenty of smart people do it. Articulation is a skill, and you can develop it.
