It got marked days ago when the average purge rate of topics on CE is like a day or whatever lol.

What obvious reasons? If the mods are okay with it then should be fine to link here, right?

I don't want to continue spreading someone's private pictures around.

Which topic? So I know which one not to go in to...

Context?

Pass for obvious reasons.

Pretty gross.

It's a tweet thread, you're going to need to click into it to read the content, or read the paper.

I'm just so fucking tired of people who seek justice in the form of retribution, further so on events that don't even really involve the person. But that's also a global issue with our justice system, and people like this juror are people who are probably more "right" in reference to the system we have.

You'd have to be a fucking moron to believe the poster behind this Inohira alt is an ally.

There's "Love Allways". I don't like that I could answer this.

......maybe. I remember a flashback scene where Cloud fights alongside him, then watching a giant snake being killed by him, then eventually the infamous Nibelheim flashback.

Sephiroth is first introduced after waking up in shinra headquarters and finding the whole building covered in blood, sephiroth's blade in the president of shinra's back, and jenova ripped out of their tank, iirc.

IdiotMachine posted...

Because the way he should've been introduced is what the original did- slowly build him up from a "super soldier good guy" that you wanted to aspire to become... who eventually went insane and went on a murdering spree. Not immediately tell you he's a bad guy.

I think you are misremembering how he was introduced in the og lol.

IdiotMachine posted...

Sephiroth shouldn't even be in the Remake (Part 1)

I don't think that's true.

Dude, you literally have "Both sides: the topic" up currently lmao. Who do you think you're fooling?

Inohira posted...

This dude called me right-wing yet is defending someone who said far more right-wing shit in those screenshots than I've ever posted.

Team politics is cancer.

Nobody buys your bs, so as it stands it seems that you are pretending to be silly for your own benefit.

It's not very hard to see how all these points she's making stem from the same central issue, which is that when talking to a population of people who are even skeptical of the valid existence of transpeople, implying that there are no rules to being trans and anybody could be trans if they want seems to cut your ability to actually maintain a solid and unchanging reasonable narrative to push to people. It undercuts the position that transpeople are valid and living as their declared sex/percieved gender is the right and medically justifiable thing.

And this point is obvious. How many people have spent time discussing trans issues to have trans allies saying completely contradicting things in response to some transphobe's trolling?

"How is this different than being a tomboy" quickly becomes a very muddled conversation when one person is arguing for the complete social construction of gender and another is talking about sexual development and brain dimorphism.

And one of the key wedge issues the fall in here is nonbinary individuals who experience no dysphoria. Are they the same as a transwoman who experienced extreme body dysphoria as their born sex? Probably not, but if you spend any time trying to separate out those cases to make things more clear, perhaps that somehow makes you a TERF.

Really like his short stories.

For Esme - With Love and Squalor is one of my most favorite reads.

People have no fucking clue what TERF means lol.

Posting revenge porn should probably be against the ToS, jfc.

I honestly think most polls are disingenuous anyway considering I cant recall any poll referenced on major media showing the amount of people actually polled so therefore they get to frame the poll results as if the majority of citizens participated in the poll. Thats what I have issues with.

It does not need to be anywhere near the majority of the population you are studying. In fact, the ratio of your sample to total population size is unrelated to the statistical inference. You only need to collect enough data to match the precision of the inference. I think in the survey in the op, they had around 2-3% points if expected error. Would the conclusion change if each estimate shifted around 2-3 percentage points?

The number of subjects has very little to do with the accuracy of the results, only the precision. When polling for elections, pollsters often use methods to screen for likely voters and weight responses to match expected demographics for the election to avoid things like biased sampling. If you have an issue at all, it's in sampling strategy. But that would require you to know what they do and know what would be wrong to do. However, I think the issue lies elsewhere.

I think what's happening is that you see a poll whose results defy your expectations and you are assuming they are flawed in some way. And almost everybody on the internet thinks that low sample sizes are a fatal flaw so people rush to point that out as a reason to rectify the disagreement.

One thing I always see missing in all these topics about polls is how many people were actually polled?

Id bet money these polls that keep getting touted amount to a minuscule number of the voting populace and are stupid to cite this early.

How many people surveyed would statisfy you, and why?

This doesn't seem like an issue for someone elected to the senate.

It continues to perpetuate the impression that expensive clothing = important and professional, on one of the biggest stages in the word. Dress codes are literally just stand in policies to make sure the poor riff raff can't be included.

Dress codes are inherently classist.

Zimbardo isn't the one who started the theory and he is more-or-less a charlatan, tbh.

Sometimes I imagine an empty world, completely devoid of life, except myself. It's soothing.

Threaten to call her doc to confirm lol.

Inohira posted...

Now this poster literally is someone who pretends to be centrist but is actually right-wing, so funny they should turn up itt.

Kaiganeer posted...

that taking from others is inherent human behavior

This is a weird thing to believe lol.

I don't think you can call her a TERF for anything she expressed there. Or even right-wing.

It's not dubbed, just the timing between the video and audio is slightly off.

That woman that they ended on is amazing lmao.

Series*

Warning: tad bit disturbing in ways I cannot put into words.

Not sure why you'd try and say otherwise.

Yeah you are.

It's hard to really want to be a part of any gaming community now-a-days.

It's one thing to misidentify other cis people as trans because you have a paranoid delusional fear, but it's a whole new level to start doing the same thing with entirely fictional characters.

Seems like it's one of the most obvious cases of mistaking correlation for causation. Often correlating two imperfect indicators of the same underlying factor. But not super well read here. Would be open to changing my mind with experimental evidence of some sort.

Shutdowns weren't a thing until the 70's.

He's the latest in self help grifters aiming at a male audience.

Should just go back to letting the president appropriate continuing funding while a deal is being made.

Fucking weirdos.

People who say this have clearly never been suspended before.

Expecting parents to correct and/or punish behavior that is likely normalized at home seems like a bad strategy for ensuring other students' safety.

distributing inappropriate images of these teen girls without their knowledge

This sounds an awful lot like a revenge porn situation.

At some point people will realize that the condition "paycheck-to-paycheck" is meaningless and has very little connection to financial struggle.

I did address it. You seem to be the one avoiding the problem at hand. Also funny considering you're the one that called it a 'magical random item generator'

I never know what people get out of being a jester. Well, I suppose real jesters did it to not die. But seems unlikely in this case.

That's not the part you were confused about two seconds ago. Your unwillingness to address how the analogy makes it extremely clear to pretty much anybody how order arises, and your choice to jump to an unrelated argument leads me to assume this is not in good faith.

Let's say you are in front of a magical random item generator that generates a new item completely at random once per minute, and you as the onlooker get to choose which items you keep, and which items you send away to the rubbish pile.

You spend one whole day doing this, and at the start of the next day your friend walks by and notices that you have 14 items, all of which you have talked about wanting for ages.

He asks "Hey, how you manage to get it to give you what you want? Can't be completely random if you just happened to get 14 items you really wanted."

But it turns out that the item generation was indeed really random. But the process wasn't random since you were there, selecting what you wanted. And while it looks like you made out like a bandit, you actually sent away 99% of the items that were generated.

Try as you might to convince him, he just cannot see how a random process would yield such order.

This is some pretty irresponsible satire, tbh.

Most days I'm at or a bit below a minute. The trick is to not linger too long as there are always much easier clues that solve the harder ones for you.
