idk guys
I'm tempted to see how much this fucks everything uo
Make sure to setup cloud backups in case something goes bad
I'm sorta debating getting a new laptop, and was trying to figure out when I bought mine
and it was a little over 5 years ago
gen 2 AMD Thinkpad
which I did apparently update once after buying it
and never again
System message
's poll What is your normal behavior when riding alone on an elevator (15-20 second ride) has closed.
An event is described as "Guaranteed to happen", and not described as "I Guarantee this event will happen". What does this phrase mean.

Which phrase
"Guaranteed to happen"
Can you use it in a sentence
Something good is guaranteed to happen tomorrow
This is tuff
For further context, I am fighting with pirate
No one is saying it
This is a nebulous "it is gaurenteed to happen"
Described to be as in, it is the premise in a poll

Because the person isnt themselves guaranteeing that it will happen, I will have to assume a higher power will.
I think fundamentally the point is that in order to engage with the poll, you must assume the premise that the poll will occur as written
Because I can't see the poll
I vote for the 5th option
No, my mobile client is too old for polls
Anyway, 5th option is the correct one
Guaranteed
If we are working in mod 4, so that there are 3 options, then that is option 1
there is not 0 options, so we have to be at least in mod 4
for the poll to make sense
there are 3 options
Pooky would then be saying he is not voting
which is valid
but he said 5, which means 1 by the law of wrap arounds
Spooky literally said you should die in vc yesterday
he was complaining about people who talk about their dog freaking out at fireworks
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak he was complaining about people who talk about their dog freaking out at fireworks
All dog owners do this
And yes, we should employ natural selection
ok I can see the poll now
I had this same argument with my 3rd grade teacher
when she was trying to teach us about probability
nothing is "guaranteed to happen" the person making the statement is asserting something will happen
So it may or may not happen
so all probabilities should realistically be expressed as a union
yeah, agreed
If I tell you I will go get you ice cream, or I guarentee I will go get you ice cream
it's the same statement I think
I am moreso making the point that since we are doing a hypothetical poll, the word guarantee implies will happen
since there is no speaker like in spooky's 3rd grade teacher's case
my wording on the ice cream clauses was bad
but, I still think a guarentee is based on the speaker
if something has been guaranteed, it has to be guaranteed by someone
if there is a speaker, I agree
