That's not what I'm saying at all. What I'm saying is that people are unlikely to participate in a system that appears to be rigged against them right from the start. But any amount of encouragement or incentive to get those people to attempt to participate is seen as 'reverse discrimination'...

CS students actually cheat less than normal. Business and finance majors cheat the most. It's also like it's a metaphor or something.

You think white guys and Asians have a monopoly on intelligence? The 115-145 IQ range is pretty evenly distributed across sex and race. At the 145+ range it does slightly favor men, but at that point we're talking about so few people that it doesn't really matter. There are no fields that are...

And this The Whiteboy Delusion; that anything that encourages other people is somehow discouraging or even disadvantaging white males. That any time there's anything in society that doesn't specifically revolve around the needs of white males, it's actively discriminating against white males...

GET OUT OF HERE WITH YOUR FACTS AND REAL LIFE EXPERIENCE.

No, the main problem with rampant cheating is that it allows stupid people to bypass the filters in the system and get degrees. As long as the school gets paid, and the banks get repaid, no one gives a fucking shit. College is a pyramid scheme. And that's part why our modern society is filled...

Most people ARE pretty stupid. Smart people are rare. 84% of the population has 115 IQ or less, and 115 IQ is barely enough to handle the complex levels of thought required in many advanced fields. I mean, everyone here that work in science or tech or whatever professional field has plenty...

Cheating is a massive, epidemic problem in all colleges by all the metrics we have for measuring it. Just fucking google the statistics if you don't believe me, since everyone in this thread seems to think that google is the arbiter of what is fact and what is not fact. It just happens to be...

Uh, yeah, as soon as it becomes possible to to easily inseminate an egg with the material from another egg, we'll just poison you, after we figure out who is going to kill all the spiders and change all the lightbulbs.

Maybe some people are a little more lost than others, but generally there's very few/effectively zero hotshots with prior relevant experience in the subject matter the deeper you go into any academic programs that are focused on theory. For instance, in 100-200 level CS classes you'll have...

This. There's a reason some of the best engineering programs use interdisciplinary teams even for high profile engineering and robotics competitions. CMU and Stanford in particular. Frequently, 3 engineers, a psychologist and a biologist build a better robot than a team of just 5 engineers.

Down the road in CS classes is mostly a bunch of arcane bullshit where everyone is equally lost, depending on the particular CS department's emphasis of computational theory vs practical programming. This specific experiment was to even out the advantages of prior exposure to the subject matter...

A funny quality that white men seem to share.

I really think that Lifebane Zombie was the only mistake in the format. It made mono black too good against what would have otherwise helped keep it in check.

I like how the forum liberals here completely forget the point of progressivism as soon as it's not something that directly benefits white males. The whole point is that humans are naturally resistant to change and that you have to actively induce change if you want it to happen. If it...

Moving the experienced away is a good idea when you're actually trying to teach people. Everyone just copied off me in the lab periods for my 200 level Java classes, because I already knew OOP from C++. The two guys I knew from high school would ask to see my homework projects and then they'd...

So we get our terms right.

They've actually said that they didn't come up with devotion yet when they made nightveil specter/boros reckoner/etc.

Realistically, Gordon would just have to sell slightly faster boring widget boxes for the next 15 years in order to make a giant pile of money to retire on.

Is this a game yet?

I want to go to GP Portland and then just never come back. :/ Fuck Rhode Island.

Encounter design, adventure design, world design, etc all get pretty complicated when your party is invisible and flying most of the time. Wouldn't have been as much of a problem but the party was frequently only 3 players and the durations of those spells were really long, so easy to keep the...

Even the 18s have heat issues with SLI. Some rich asshole that was in my guild forever always had problems with both his m18xs frying out the cards or the motherboard.

It's like 300ish for a Standard deck. Magic is a hobby. You can play for nearly free if you're willing to manage your collection like a full-time hobby. You'll be paying for entry fees and gas but beyond that, you should be able to maintain a rotating collection of standard after an initial...

Everything about this post is awesome, 10/10.

I don't watch a lot of porn. (Not gonna lie and say I don't watch any, what the fuck would I be doing on this board if I didn't?) Malena Morgan is definitely who I'd least hate waking up one morning and looking like, haha, but I can't think of any I'd really want to have sex with. Well, it was...

Nope, that's really the end of the story. Absolutely nothing interesting happened ever.

Hasbro/WotC has never really sued anyone out of existence, just made them pay some hefty royalties. And their patents are about to expire.

I had a roommate for almost 2 years that looked EXACTLY like Faye Reagan, except a bit shorter. Exact same hair color, exactly the same face, exactly the same too much makeup, even the same ridiculously cleavage-y wardrobe. She was even bi, but I was way too awkward and in denial about my...

I thought this too, until I actually started watching games and playing a bit myself. The metagame is actually pretty diverse, and the the gameplay is surprisingly great. Because there's so many overpowered cards, you can actually come back from behind, break out of otherwise solid lockdowns...

How did this show turn out? I'm thinking about watching it.

Hobbit 3: The Battle for More Money.

That is definitely an outlier. I'm honestly kinda shocked, given that they are pretty fascist about maintaining the quality of the individual stores. Then again, going to any burrito place like that is asking for trouble if you go on some off-hour when the shit has been sitting on the tray.

I had to IMDB that. Holy fuck, that show sounds gayer than gay men having sex with each other.

Memento is a little overrated, sure, but that last part of your sentence means we can't be friends anymore.

You have your cause and effect backwards.

You should probably read the actual article before you pull shit out of your ass.

The ability for sorcs to cast a bunch of flight spells all the time was really really annoying for me for years as a DM, as very few adventures of mine happened in actual 'dungeons.' I haven't really played at all since 3E.

Did Lower Testosterone Help Civilize Humanity? | University of Utah News

All the ports of the arcade version were awful.
