A lot of the questions asked were already answered as poll options.

I don't think so, kiddo.

I already listed my reasons in the opening post for why Unions aren't always a good thing. I'm not saying unions are universally bad, but people should do a lot of research before blindly joining a Union.

Why are you afraid to answer any of our questions?

What's the most you're willing to spend a month to remain protected by a union?

I think you should answer some of the questions directed at you before we answer any more of your questions.

No one is going to watch an hour and a half long training video from Lowe's, my dude.

Yeah, it's a pretty irreverent style of humor. You might not like it.

I do unironically recommend watching the Mega Man X sequelitis, though. It has a lot of enjoyable and interesting talking points about game design in general, but especially pertaining to MMX's intro stage.

I like videos on game design, so i'll have to check that one out.

I have somehow avoided all of that content spanning multiple years.

I guess it's probably not for me.

That is great news.

people want more pay to do their jobs , but brag about getting paid a high amount to do nothing all day when they do get their pay raise.

Stats?

Even the fans agree.

"Wheel of Fortune" Fans Think the Show Is Rigged

SUSPICIONS AROSE AFTER CONTESTANTS LANDED ON THE SAME PRIZE WEDGE FIVE TIMES IN A ROW.

https://bestlifeonline.com/wheel-of-fortune-rigged-bmw-news/

A mechanical engineer even broke down the math to explain why the odds of landing on the same exact prize wedge that many times is "too unlikely to be a coincidence."

His thread continued, "5 nights in a row the prize landed on for the final puzzle has been a car, specifically a BMW. The final wheel has 24 prizes. If we assume one card contains the car, the odds of hitting that spot 5 times in a row is 1/7.96 million. Those odds are astronomically bad."

Weird take, and that would literally be illegal.

I don't think a guy like Sajak would care about what is legal and illegal.

Gobstoppers12 posted...

Yeah, like I was saying, it tends to happen very frequently. 11% is a pretty high chance when you're spinning several times per puzzle.

So frequently, that the wheel is probably rigged.

??

There are 24 spaces on the wheel, with two bankrupt spaces and the one million dollar space that is surrounded by two "mini bankrupts" which basically equate to another 2/3rds of a space.

So if you divide the number of bankrupt spaces (2.66) by the number of spaces on the wheel (24) you get .11083..., which roughly means there's an 11.1% chance of getting a bankrupt with every spin. Given that you spin the wheel before guessing every consonant, that's a lot of spins per episode.

With an 11% chance of bankrupt, there should be a bankrupt roughly every ~9 spins. Based on luck (of lack thereof) it's not even extremely unlikely to get more than one bankrupt in a row.

And yet, it happens multiple times within an episode.

Hey, better to raise another man's kids than be in an open marriage publicly lol

that's a strange thing to say in 2024.

And, this time the disinformation is automated courtesy of LLM tools.

https://time.com/6983903/openai-foreign-influence-campaigns-artificial-intelligence/

OpenAI identified and removed five covert influence operations based in Russia, China, Iran and Israel that were using its artificial intelligence tools to manipulate public opinion, the company said on Thursday.

In a new report, OpenAI detailed how these groups, some of which are linked to known propaganda campaigns, used the companys tools for a variety of deceptive activities. These included generating social media comments, articles, and images in multiple languages, creating names and biographies for fake accounts, debugging code, and translating and proofreading texts. These networks focused ona range of issues, including defending the war in Gaza and Russias invasion of Ukraine, criticizing Chinese dissidents, and commenting onpolitics in India, Europe, and the U.S. in their attempts to sway public opinion. While these influence operations targeted a wide range of online platforms, including X (formerly known as Twitter), Telegram, Facebook, Medium, Blogspot, and other sites, none managed to engage a substantial audience according to OpenAI analysts.

Strap in, shits about to get bumpy.

It is, and by design.

Long before the writ dropped, the French, Germans, and Polish authorities discovered an elaborate Russian disinformation campaign called "Portal Kombat".

Frances VIGINUM, a state agency created in 2021 to fight foreign interference, analysed information portals between September and December 2023 and found 193 sites that spread false claims suggesting Russias war in Ukraine is a legitimate military exercise.

The sites disseminate information from the social media accounts of Russian or pro-Russian actors, Russian news agencies, and local websites. Content on the sites also takes on controversial topics that could "contribute to dividing the Francophone debate," according to VIGINUM.

Wonder what his net worth was.

An obscene amount that won't go to helping others as Jesus would have wanted.

The wheel itself is rigged with a motor for sure.

No way do multiple contestants get bankrupt multiple times during the show without the producers saying so.

Gobstoppers12 posted...

Nah bro, it's wild that people are coming in here pretending Wheel of Fortune is a bad show just because they personally dislike Sajak. It's one of the all-time game shows to watch, and also one of the most fun to play along with.

Nah, Wheel of Fortune is what people who aren't smart enough to watch Jeopardy enjoy.

why would you do that?

What a week it has been.

BillGates posted...

I don't want to exaggerate but I'm afraid that Russia will continue its aggression against Europe, China will invade Taiwan and tension around Israel will escalate.

yep

If I had an Xbox or gamepass i'd play it.

I loved the first one.

ANort posted...

How would you even know? It's not like you've ever watched it, you're just shitting on it because Sajak is a right-wing idiot.

It comes on right after Jeopardy.

I've watched it.

It is not very good.

have any of you ever been in a management position?

Have you ever enjoyed a weekend?

I am enjoying this one.

Thanks Unions!

The show has been on the air for over 40 years and millions of people watch it. To say it's not entertaining and successful is just ignorant lol

Putting something on as white noise while out make dinner =/= good

Happy Sunday!

A day when I don't have to work.

Thanks Unions!

My point is he's a Game Show host who's job is to entertain the audience.

Mission not accomplished.

Wheel of Fortune is not a good game show.

Two chuddit safe spaces have been demolished.

Someone had a little too much to drink last night.

This topic is a great example of why fandom quarantined the board.

I did not know it was a joke. I have a seriously hard time figuring out when people are joking or not especiallyon the internet. I am autistic and i took it personally. I did feel bullied and I did close my account (obviously got it back). Sorry for going off in my comments earlier as well. I've been insulted like that most of my life and it didn't feel good to see it again. Still not an excuse for my behavior. I've been on this one account for 14 years. Never once made an alt. Never felt the need to.

Welcome back!

It's good to hear you were able to regain access to your account and CE.

Getting a degree.
