I know you feel smart for taking a holier than thou attitude, but you’re just revealing you’re too dumb to come up with an actual response.

No, you dumbfuck, there is no argument attached to those insults. There is nothing in their comment saying that you are wrong because of your ignorance, which is what an ad hominem argument is - we are pointing out why you are wrong, and then calling you a lentil brained moron.
This is stuff they made me learn at school over 20 years ago as a 13 year old. You should be embarrased that you can’t even get the most basic fallacy right.
Ad hominem arguments are ones that dismiss your arguments based on insults or attacks on you personally, not just being insulting while making an argument against you.
The fact that you don’t know that (or can’t tell the difference between them) just demonstrates your ignorance, so in this particular instance they weren’t even being insulting, they were simply stating a fact.
Highly unlikely for an individual isn’t the same as highly unlikely across a population. 0.1% is only one chance in 1000 - rolling the same number 3 times in a row on a 20 sided die has a probability of 1 in 8000, but you’ll find loads of stories of it happening because there’s a lot more than 8 thousand people who play D&D.
Your chooks are rolling along the edge of probability, but there’s more than 1000 chickens in the world so the probability someone will hit that jackpot is close to 100%.
Good range of spices - preferably slightly more than they have enough room for.
Rick Riordan’s various series might catch your fancy - they’re really young adult fiction, but they’re still a good read. They cover Greek, Roman, Norse, and Egyptian mythology from the perspectives of the god’s half human offspring, bringing the mythology into a modern context while retreading the old myths.
If we say Israel and you hear Jews, it’s not us that are antisemitic.
I didn’t realise it was strange until my sister complained about it being incomprehensible gibberish, but I listen to podcasts at at least double speed.
One of the characters on the Hideous Laughter podcast Interlude episodes had long pauses between words so I kept speeding it up until they stopped bothering me. Then everything else sounded weird at normal speed and I’d get bored during the pauses between people speaking, so now they’re all on 2-2.5x speed.
My highschool made us use fountain pens for "real" work and I cannot stress enough how shitty and obsolete they are. They skate around the page and any slight mistake can quickly turn into a multi-line mess. They're almost impossible to transport without making a mess, and if you don't use them often enough they just dry out and you have to dig out a new ink cartridge.
They're probably bourgeoisie decadence, too.
How is the UK not the occupying force there? The Falkland Islands are nowhere fucking near us.
Zephyreks is being sarcastic by highlighting the US’s doublespeak that they employ to wage war without declaring war.
Ah, I see what you mean - that the superposition is a model of our uncertainty of unobserved actions, rather than the actual state of the particle. While that was my understanding initially too (because it makes sense) our testing, things like the double slit experiment, has shown behaviours that only make sense if they do occupy both states simultaneously. Quantum computing is actually reliant on qubits being in a 0/1 superposition for it to work. It’s what makes the entire thing so maddening, because experimental evidence has disproven every attempt to make it make sense.
First thing my quantum mechanics professor told us was that if you think you understand quantum mechanics you definitely do not understand quantum mechanics. He was at the time one of the world’s leading experts on quantum applications, and had just proven the existence of an additional state of matter that quantum theory predicted, and straight up told us to our faces that he didn’t understand it, he just knew that it works.
Observation in quantum physics isn’t about a consciousness being able to see it happen, but about it interacting with the universe in a way that could potentially be measured. There doesn’t need to be a physical observer, just a theoretically measurable result of it interacting with something.
Quantum superpositioning. Schrödinger was right, it’s absolutely ridiculous and the cat can’t be alive and dead at the same time, box or not.
The problem is it provably does work that way, or at least in a way that is indistinguishable from it, ridiculous or not, and we don’t really know why. We’ve learnt many of the rules, managed to trap particles in superimposed states, even discovered that plants take advantage of it to transport energy more efficiently, and it’s just a thing that happens, an apparently fundamental rule of existence. And it doesn’t make any fucking sense.
“I didn’t say there’s any brigading going on, I just said there’s some brigading going on - look, this incredibly popular post has more engagement than any of our other posts!”
The absolute brazen dishonesty you’re engaging in the whole way through this thread is disgusting, and why you get piled on to. The fact is that you’re pretending a racist term isn’t racist (in the same way as calling stealing “jewing” isn’t racist, I suppose (just to make sure you understand, it’s very racist)), and your only real argument is “all the hexbears are piling in and being mean :(”, not some justification for why taking a racist term for improving the look of a car without improving its performance isn’t racist when you apply the exact same term, without altering the concept in any way, to computers.
Been quashed? You’re claiming that users could only semi-organically stumble upon this post, when your continual engagement has kept it at a healthy position in the active feed for the past 2 days. If it weren’t for your insistence on being racist none of us would have seen the post at all.
Yes, there must be brigading going on, it’s not like there’s some sort of “front page” for federated instances that just anyone can browse, where active discussions like this would be promoted over less active content.
My dog. Nobody’s gonna miss his awful farts or massive shits.
