That's not too bad of a picture of Andrew Jackson, but I shouldn't be reinforcing Stranded's delinquent behavior

So Stranded, your picture sucks

Can a mod or admin close my account? Can't even post in a thread about smash without people like karajan coming in and going completely off topic trying to criticize my social skills (pretty ironic isn't it?). No point in coming on this site anymore.
or you could, just not come here anymore
oh but you have no self control like when you always take troll bait

You could. But to extend the analogy further, you're all a bunch of children and I'm a babysitter not getting paid because I'm related and am figuratively being blackmailed into it.

I'm happy to talk with people about there concerns, and perhaps my tone came off as snarky rather than just second-hand remarks from a private conversation. I do pride myself on my work and do so with a logic in mind, which I paraphrase to save time, but I could go on for a few paragraphs (I don't deny making mistakes either, you may see that as obnoxious/sarcasm/rudeness, but I'm being quite literal).

But in short, things need to move forward. Stagnation and complacency are the death of all things. A cleaner section should result in a clearer mind[set for its inhabitants] and you are free to disagree with how I do so and make suggestions, but not why.
UH since you deleted my last thing

1) stop deleting my posts
2) you get paid what you deserve
3) if it takes you multiple paragraphs to get a "logical" point across, you're probably just being a studstill
4) you are stagnating the section by interrupting the conversation by breaking apart threads

in short:
before your actions: conversation flowing naturally, no one is complaining
after your actions: conversation is halted, everyone complains about your actions

you are derailing conversations in the smash 64 section just because you are an attention-seeking horse. If people have issues (which they don't in the 64 section), they'll call for mod help. you are not helping, you are just being dumb

1. Only been the one, thus far. But I'll do with them as I please.
2. Meh, that suddenly breaks the analogy :( What the smash community gives me is worth it though.
3. Noted.
4. All reform has stagnation, but let's ignore that natural occurrence (pretty unrelated) and let me ask you to get over one mistake relating to merging three threads with pretty much the same title with over 2/3rds of the posts being spam.

I'm an attention seeking horse yet I'm promoting privately talking to anyone about their issues? :rolleyes:
I've said numerous times now that I'm happy to trust the community here with relative autonomy, don't break content rules and keep things relatively nice and we (smashboards staff) will be practically transparent. I've also said countless times as well that we're willing to work with anyone here with their ideas to help community growth in any way Smashboards can. Both the lack of maturity and dialogue requires action.
Also congratulations on your second attempt, much better. I decided to move it here rather than continuing to distract that thread.

I'd still much rather you take your grievances with me/anything I do elsewhere so we can try to work out a positive resolution.

Or maybe you could stop being a ****** and leave me alone. No one cares that you got beat up in school and have to take it out on random people on a smash bros forum. Stop defending your troll buddies. Please **** off with your warped, delusional mindset.

LOL, idiot. He deleted your post because it had nothing to do with anything and you were just attacking me for no reason. What a moron. No one wants to see what you have to say anyways.

The desperation for an enemy is strong with this one.
Why? Because he acknowledges that there are ****ty people on this forum that don't deserve to be able to talk with the majority of us?

yawn another cancerous douche
Do you people really think pulling up quotes is gonna make me mad? I honestly don't feel bad for saying any of those things. The people I said them to deserved it. If I ever said these things to people who didn't deserve it, I apologize.

Can we all get along? If not, can we just ignore the hate? I really don't like seeing all this fighting
Edit: @ Shaya Shaya how did you get the :'mad': trophy? I'm trophy hunting :3

@ Shaya Shaya moderating the appropriateness of content and disabling bullying or offensive material is good and most people won't complain about that. But deleting threads and merging them as you see fit is as bad as spamming and derailing threads because it effectively does the same thing. I'm completely lost in all the discussions and debates now because you chopped it all up and threw half of it out. You're "organizing" things without really knowing where they go or what they are. "This looks like a sock I'll just put it in the sock drawer" "sorry shaya but thats actually a muddy boot way to ruin the sock drawer". That's basically what you're doing. The problem continues because of your pretentious attitude.
But I'll do with them as I please.
or how you see yourself as a babysitter and not the destructive self promoted maid that Annex said you were. You've convinced yourself that you know what you're doing and know what's better for us than we do. We don't need a babysitter, I'm not sure how old you are but most of us are probably older than you and have better degrees/careers, this isn't a personal attack against you just enlightening you on how this community probably isn't as childish and helpless as you think it is. Infractions, inappropriate image removal, thread locking, etc are ok. Thread deletion, thread relocation, thread merging, being a @ Mic_128 Mic_128 is not ok and is destructive to the community. Stop derailing our threads and spamming us with moderation. Don't go on a power trip.

guys i need your opinion

first semester last year there was this chick who sat across from me in an ed. class

first impression? she really reminded me of a female version of weedwack

fast forward 12 months and it turns out she's in my psych class

my first impression this time? she's actually pretty cute

i'm almost 75% sure she wants the d

Every semester kero tells us about a new girl he fell in love with at first sight, his cousin, German teacher, your mom, etc. Then nothing ever happens. Let me give you my opinion, get to 8 and you'll actually get all the ******* for once.

Every semester, kero finds a girl he is forced to see every day he goes to school, and he is secretly in love, but he will never approach and just camp 24/7 until she goes away, then he finds the next girl to repeat next semester.

This will cycle until he loses all his stocks and becomes a hermit.

To use your analogy, everywhere else on the forums the maid would simply throw out the boot or sock because whoever owned it didn't put it in the right drawer. This room is still designed for the discussion of Smash 64, not a general social room for those who play it. Shayas being generous in moving discussions in this thread, and while I'm not saying it's been perfect for sustaining the discussion, it's better than the alternative.

disproving determinism
no, there is an equivalent deterministic model where "randomness" is not inherent, just appears as a consequence of certain environmental constraints
Are you referring to this interpreation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Broglie–Bohm_theory ? Seems like it is not widely accepted as it violates other widely held beliefs about the laws of physics (non local interactions). Anyway, what you're saying does not contradict my statement at all, unless your claim is that the model you refer to provides better predictions about quantum mechanics.

Randomness: if you know what lebesgue measure is go look up incomputable number. or sets which are not lebesgue measurable. well, the lebegue measure of a set of numbers between 0 and 1 is equivalent to the probability of choosing a number from that set out of all those numbers. since you believe in calculus (axiom of infinity + axiom of choice) then non-measureable sets exist. which means that if i throw a random dart between 0 and 1 the probability it lands in that type of set does not exist. Not 0, not 1, not any number in between. Literally the probability of landing in that set does not exist in the mathematical universe as a whole. Probability theory is ****ing retarted anyways, just look up the bertrand paradox
In traditional measure theory there are some non measurable sets. Not sure how that invalidates probability. Probability is only defined in terms of measurable sets.

The bertrand paradox doesn't seem very paradoxical to me. Obviously the way you choose something "at random" can affect the probabilities. Even in discrete probability if I choose a number 1-12 by rolling a 12 sided die or by adding two 6 sided dice that will affect the probability of the various outcomes.

Infinity: if you know what a cardinal number is, go ahead and tell me the cardinality of all the cardinal numbers.
That's not a defined operation. But by similar argument, would you say you also don't believe in sets? If A is the set of all sets that do not contain themselves, then is A a member of A?

yes. its not real life. decent model for dynamical systems tho
What is "real life"? Everything that anyone interprets as "real life" is just a mental model that makes predictions about future observations. "Particles", "Quantum Mechanics", etc included.

hmm laymans way: you know how you can use 7z or winrar or .zip to compress a file? a file is just a bunch of 0s and 1s. you can compress files (data) like to 10% the original size. a truly random number, mathematically, cannot be compressed at all (if it were a file). In other words, the compression would have a length equal to or greater than the original dataset (number). The only numbers which fit this property are what are know as uncomputable numbers, and they dominate the number line. (the probability you pick a uncomputable number when you randomly pick a number from the number line is 100%. Every other number you have ever encountered in your life has a probability of zero)
I'm not sure what the point is here. Yes, if you sample from the distribution of real numbers between 0 and 1, most of them are uncomputable and therefore impossible to fully describe. That's due to how the real numbers are defined. I guess some might argue "well the real numbers aren't applicable at all to the real world (as defined in terms of particles) because in the real world everything is actually discrete", but the same can be said about negative numbers, fractions, etc. All of these are just conceptual tools for making models and predictions. Even if we were to completely throw out the real numbers, then discrete probability would still be extremely useful.

None of this indicates to me that any of these concepts are "ridiculous". They are pretty clearly useful to a lot of people. Are you saying you never make decisions by considering probability of various future events?

no its more like infinity doesnt exist because numbers dont exist. just abstract concepts that can do neat tricks
Ok. It all depends on your definition of "exists" but saying "numbers are abstract concepts" is fine with me too.

The chair in this room "exists" right? But the chair is made up of a collection of atoms, and only the abstract concept of "chair" joins them together in my mind to form a single object that "exists". Similarly the concept of "one" is a way that my mind can describe my observations (I see "one" chair). And even "atoms" "particles" etc are just abstract concepts that we use to make sense of our observations. Just like "chair", or numbers. Most would probably say that numbers are a more abstract concept since they are applicable to a wider range of situations.

Now if your definition of "exists" is defined in terms of particles and such then that's fine too.

Bohmian mechanics (i.e. the deterministic, hidden variables interpretation of QM) is not equivalent to the Copenhagen interpretation (random, non-deterministic, many worlds). The differences do not emerge in naive, simple treatements of QM problems, but only in rigourous application towards quantum entanglement.

If you want to learn more about it, check out Bell's Theorem. Basically, the predictions for various QM measurements of entagled systems are not the same for local, deterministic models and for random models. The evidence overwhelmingly lines up with the Copenhagen Interpretation. This requires that, in order for any deterministic model to be true, interactions must be non-local, which in turn requires information to travel faster than the speed of light.

To put it another way, a non-local deterministic model requires that there is some global state, let's call it 'god', that is instantaenously changing the behavior of all things at all times specifically so that it appears random. It is the 'fossils were put on earth to test us' model of QM. It trivializes all of physics, because the answer is always 'the unobservable, omnipotent global state did it'.

the alternative being sustaining the descussion
