there's so much anti-hype for this, they are genuinely trying to bury that they're even doing this

To clarify since you guys are talking about MC tech, does your answer change if it is A through E or is it the same
the funniest MC test I had was a true/false test with 5 options
true, false, true (high confidence), false (high confidence), no idea
true/false gives +1/-1 if right/wrong, high confidence gives +2/-2, 0 for no idea, and no its not bonus
so to get max marks, you must answer high confidence for every question and get nothing wrong
this was the T/F section of my first year intro to chemistry course in uni
I think it was something like 30 questions

I like this concept but the pirate version is:
yes/no/idk
idk: 0
yes/no (correct): +1
yes/no (incorrect): -5
and then there's the Pirate's Choice questions, which you have to get correct or else you fail
If anyone has too much desk space
Look at this ridiculous thing

I wouldn't have expected you to be a "D" kinda guy, but that's fair.
it makes sense if you think about it while considering all the factors

Stranger to me, my dad's uncles daughters kid offered me some weed once
I said no, obviously
actually, wait, no I am just misremembering, he only asked if I minded if he smoked weed
if we count alcohol. also no but closer (not a stranger)
actually, the alcohol one is funny because that was literally spooky, at the meetup, and it was really weak low alcohol content alcohol
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak Stranger to me, my dad's uncles daughters kid offered me some weed once
I spent way too long trying to parse this.
Could also be said to be your dad's cousin's kid.
AKA your second cousin.
Tiny, I worded that in terms of how I know them. I knew my dad's uncle
so he was the main person to refer to
that was the line where it was not the stranger
I had not met his daughter, and I super had not met his daughters son until then lol
Replying to Aelin #aeldritch Hasn’t happened in like 10+ years but college strangers were very generous
If you don't want that, be a nerd and go to a math school
me and my friends went to board game cafes

what the heck, I wish my school had board game cafes nearby

this is so much more fun than drugs
Replying to TinyBomby #tinybomby what the heck, I wish my school had board game cafes nearby
Board game cafe, ordering a chocolate milkshake at it, and just hanging out is great
That's a shame tiny. My school is literally only known for engineering, math, and computer science
Waterloo is also extremely coop and job focussed, so people are more serious then I think some other schools
there were party's and stuff, but there was not a party culture
