Re: *puts pinky to lips* ONE MILLION POSTS.

The first person who does... is a random person who posts like 1000 a day.

Re: *puts pinky to lips* ONE MILLION POSTS.

Is it possible to make 1000 posts a day without double posting?

I kind of want to do the math and find out.

Then again, no, I don't.

Not sure about 1000, but you can post something relevant in every active thread everyday.

Re: *puts pinky to lips* ONE MILLION POSTS.

Well in theory you could make a new post when someone else replies to the thread. So you'd have to look at the average reply rate for each specific thread, calculate exactly how long it takes to make a post on average, and find out if there's actually enough time in a day to make that many posts.

I don't want to do it. There's too many random variables anyway, it would be difficult to get a good idea.

I meant the same thing... I just used a bad analogy.

Re: The Bulbagarden Off-Topic Conversational Thread

Homework is stupid. Don't do it...

I don't.
I mean, seriously, we do 5 hours of school for 5 days a week and then teachers expect you to work at home when you should be enjoying a break as if you came home from work.

Seriously!

Quoted for absolute, un- possible :) and very true ;) truth...

wow. I seriously wonder how your futures are gonna look like. Maybe you'll live in the same back alley later :O wouldn't that be a coincidence?

Anyway, who wants to hear a funny paradox? well screw you, I'm telling it anyway:

A judge tells a condemned prisoner that he will be hanged at noon on one weekday in the following week but that the execution will be a surprise to the prisoner. He will not know the day of the hanging until the executioner knocks on his cell door at noon that day. Having reflected on his sentence, the prisoner draws the conclusion that he will escape from the hanging. His reasoning is in several parts. He begins by concluding that the "surprise hanging" can't be on a Friday, as if he hasn't been hanged by Thursday, there is only one day left - and so it won't be a surprise if he's hanged on a Friday. Since the judge's sentence stipulated that the hanging would be a surprise to him, he concludes it cannot occur on Friday. He then reasons that the surprise hanging cannot be on Thursday either, because Friday has already been eliminated and if he hasn't been hanged by Wednesday night, the hanging must occur on Thursday, making a Thursday hanging not a surprise either. By similar reasoning he concludes that the hanging can also not occur on Wednesday, Tuesday or Monday. Joyfully he retires to his cell confident that the hanging will not occur at all. The next week, the executioner knocks on the prisoner's door at noon on Wednesday — which, despite all the above, will still be an utter surprise to him. Everything the judge said has come true.

No. Just no.
I fail to see how that would work.

Besides, I have a paying job and live in a house, thanks. I've been out of school for 10 years.

Re: The Bulbagarden Off-Topic Conversational Thread

I'm only 14, so I'm still in school and living with my parents.
Still, homework isn't essential, in my opinion.

If anything, they should just extend school hours if they're going to be setting homework all the time.

When I was in 12th grade, the only grades that mattered were test scores. As long as I passed my tests, I didn't even have to look at any homework.

Re: The Bulbagarden Off-Topic Conversational Thread

Here, homework doesn't matter either.
The only thing that matters other than test scores would be coursework, which normally accounts for 1/3 of your total grade in a subject.

Homework is basically just to get you familiar with the subject. There's only so much one can learn at a time.

Re: The Bulbagarden Off-Topic Conversational Thread

I sincerely wish that's how it was at my school. I honestly would have had perfect grades in most classes if they didn't count homework. Instead I hovered around a 2.9. They still gave me a scholor's diploma for some reason though, even though it requires a 3.0.

Re: *puts pinky to lips* ONE MILLION POSTS.

I could try it.

But no.

Wow, I almost double posted those two sentence fragments. I hope I'm not gaining a bad habit.

Re: The Bulbagarden Off-Topic Conversational Thread

Still, even though homework doesn't count towards a grade, we still get shot if we don't do it.
Apparently, it's the borderline between a good grade and a bad grade (yeah, I totally got the highest mark in Math last year because I did my homework. /sarcasm)

Grades don't mean shit anyway. Once you're in college, no one will ever look at your high school grades again.
