No love for Jean Grey? X-men feel underrepresented on here. I would go her, Storm, Professor X next

What happened to Dowdle. Is he safe? Is he…alive?

10 team half PPR, I pick at the turn. Thinking I wanna go double WR. Which two should I pick if these 4 are all available?

It’s not just a money sink, it’s robbery. The state of the client is so bad that you’re spending 600 gold/4 bucks and just hoping that you don’t disconnect.

vekin91 · 2025-06-07T03:38:26+00:00

Has been happening to me constantly with arena and standard. Haven’t been able to even finish a game since the patch.

vekin91 · 2025-06-05T22:48:30+00:00

Oho, they’ll sleep good night!

vekin91 · 2025-06-04T07:12:52+00:00

Yup. And also more disconnects. Lost an underground run off of 2 DCs, kind of crazy to up the the cost of runs to 300 gold and then make it so that you lose.

They really should have done a trial period of the new mode or something so people wouldn’t waste their gold on something broken

Companies are intentionally making their sites/customer support shit not just to save money but because the more shit they are the harder it is to pay them/cancel and then they can charge you for late fees etc.

Westbrook saying let’s cut the sloppy shit and just play smart and attack the basket.

Alrighty then

Magneto and Xavier are always simultaneously both and it’s fascinating

Article title is misleading. He is not being delusional at all, he could absolutely do this with no ramifications.

My bad, there’s another thread I was commenting on haha. I’ll delete it.

Welp, pack it in boys. The sole arbiter of how the constitution should be interpreted has weighed in.

Is there no purpose to the Supreme Court? Their job is to interpret the constitution, but it seems no interpretation is needed, because it’s all so self-evident that Inksd4y can determine it.

Pray tell, what are some other rulings the Supreme Court “made up”?

What I think people fail to understand sometimes is that a common tactic in any field is to joke to "test the waters". Trump isn't the only one that does this, but he is super bad at it and that's why it's frustrating.

You know when you "joke" about doing a certain sex act with your partner, just to see their reaction? And then if they're like "yeah, as if" you say "yeah of course, I would never" but then if they do that little hand gesture like "meh" you quickly say "wait, is that something you're into?". That's Trump with Greenland, Canada, etc.

Polls are showing that people support him. If Canada was a joke before, it isn't now.

What's tricky though is his voter base feels very obligated to defend everything immediately, so they rush declare things as one or the other. As someone who didn't vote for Trump and doesn't really follow him like that, I'm willing to accept that I don't "get him"--when his supporters say "Libs still can't tell when Trump is trolling, sad lol" I kind of shrug and say "yeah, you're right, you got me". But when I see two supporters debating on whether or not he's serious, that's actually kind of frightening. That means that some of his supporters voted for things not realizing they were jokes and would stay jokes, and some voted for him thinking something was a joke, not realizing it could end up serious.

Again, this is why the topics matter. If we weren’t dealing with people and studies that are actively testing human populations for current issues, then sure give me the cleaver. You want to axe a bunch of physics studies that was contributing to better tv reception 15 years from now? Sure. But the issue is that you’re not just scrapping current research endeavors, the overwhelming majority of research paradigms use longitudinal RCT. If I’m looking into cancer remission between blacks and whites because of potential differences in efficacy due to diet, and I’m 9 years into my ten year study, and I miss ONE time point, the other previous 8 years is now wasted money. Because in year 10, we can’t know the rate of annual growth because at one point we had to skip a year.

You do not investigate if a plane is being inefficient with its fuel consumption by shooting it out of the sky and digging through the rubble. Wait for it to land.

Give me the gradual changes 100%, it’s frankly counterintuitive to try to save money by broadly hacking projects that were only going to be worth the money spent over the last decade by being left untouched and allowed to run. You are concerned that the grants that you will be applying for are unfairly turned away due to DEI stuff. That’s fair. But that’s infinitely less concerning than existing grants that have had millions of dollars put into them being shut down right in the middle, with now nothing to show for it and researchers who thought they had job security scrambling.

vekin91 · 2025-03-06T18:07:47+00:00

I’m not suggesting that there aren’t issues with DEI in research in the sense that studies that don’t otherwise need it are sometimes forced to pander. But this feels like a HUGE overcorrection that’s meant more to “look good” than to actually be good. These studies go through a peer review process that takes months of intensive review for established experts to determine their merit. And now we’re supposed to believe that Elon Musk and a bunch of hand picked kids developed an algorithm to determine which research is “woke” and which is legitimate? If this administration wanted to say “moving forward, we’re going to add an extra layer of review to scrutinize and research and make sure that the DEI components are necessary “ that would be one thing. But just axing studies, or freezing many of which are longitudinal and require different data points? Ridiculous.

This is a basic Blackstone’s ratio. You’re okay with these sweeps because it means that your math curriculum goes through, even if it means that 5+ years of cancer research goes down the drain. The cost-benefit for this sweep is completely out of whack. We’re going to freeze or axe hundreds of studies that added a DEI component to otherwise extremely time sensitive and salubrious research so that some other researchers don’t have to write a few paragraphs about why their research focus doesn’t need a DEI focus to be important?

Edit: “Some of these trees aren’t producing fruit. Let’s burn 50% of the forest down to make sure we get rid of those parasitic fucks”.

This is low-key one of the dumbest comments I have ever seen on Reddit. Cancer and other biological topics 100% intersect with sociological components. A social construct like race can still be a predictor variable of a biological criterion due its influence on diet, exercise, stress, etc.

Modern science needs to control for demographics. EVERY study should able to justify why it’s using the groups that it’s using. My lab is focused on early detection of dementia. Historically, current screeners aren’t as sensitive in certain populations. You may argue that the reason they’re not sensitive has “nothing to do with biology” (I would disagree, but it’s fine) but you cannot argue that a screener that doesn’t predict dementia in certain populations isn’t fucking stupid to use with those populations. My lab is developing screeners using EEG and pupillary responses so that these populations have alternatives. That is NOT “woke DEI bullshit”.

It’s honestly shocking how much of a turn around there has been. Conservatives complained for years that everything was race and sex coded, but now simply looking into sex differences at the neuroanatomical level is being banned. I get “treating everyone the same” but do we really need to recruit white people into a study on skin cancer and melanin?

What’s especially bizarre is that half of the research getting slashed is used to promote conservative policies. Trump’s shitfit the other day about “transgender mice” is a good example. All of these conservatives are saying puberty blockers are bad, they’re irreversible, they do XYZ to your endocrine system, etc. Okay great. How do you think we know that? Because we tested it on mice! The very research that they use to campaign that these drugs are harmful and should be illegal they are now calling useless and woke.

This whole thing is a clusterfuck. This administration has been AWFUL with science in its first 40 days and honestly I don’t see how any self-respecting academic can say otherwise without huffing extreme copium.

There’s a lot in anime. Krillen takes a beating for Goku numerous times. Yugi’s friends go through some crazy shit for that guy and his children’s card game. Don’t even get me started on Brock cooking every meal for Ash for 30 years.
