2167: Motivated Reasoning Olympics

162.158.134.130: note more surface meaning of the title text

{{comic
| number = 2167
| date = June 24, 2019
| title = Motivated Reasoning Olympics
| image = motivated_reasoning_olympics.png
| titletext = [later] I can't believe how bad corruption has become, especially given that our league split off from the statewide one a month ago SPECIFICALLY to protest this kind of flagrantly biased judging.

==Explanation==
{{incomplete|Created by a MOTIVATED REASONER. Please mention here why this explanation isn't complete. Do NOT delete this tag too soon.}}

[[Cueball]] is talking to [[Ponytail]] about the trophy he won for winning the “Motivated Reasoning Olympics” (hence the title). [[Ponytail]] rightly points out that the trophy says he only got second place. [[Cueball]] then displays the “{{w|Motivated reasoning}}” in question by claiming that the athlete who beat him cheated in an earlier round and that the judges were “certain” to disqualify him after reviewing. Here, the cognitive dissonance that should result from believing that he won first place but having a trophy that says second place is reduced by [[Cueball]]'s motivated reasoning. He has developed a narrative that explains away the inconsistent fact of the label on the trophy, and thus, convinces himself that there couldn't have been any shortcoming in his own performance. These are all characteristics of motivated reasoning. [[Cueball]] goes on like this for a while.

The title text is a continuation, where [[Cueball]] suggests the board is biased in favor of the original winner, whom they approve. He further states that this is evidence of corruption and is the reason why his league split off from the official state-sponsored league just prior to the Motivated Reasoning Olympics. Of course, Motivated reasoning is an emotion-biased decision-making phenomenon, by definition, so he really should expect the judging to be biased.

On a less subtle level, the title text further diminishes Cueball's second place, since it turns out the competition he won second place in was held by a splinter group from a state league, which is rather far from the global best-of-the-best otherwise implied by "{{w|olympics}}".

:Cueball: Check it out, I won first place at the Motivated Reasoning Olympics!
:Ponytail: That trophy says "second."
:Cueball: Well, the guy who won was caught cheating in an earlier round, so the board is almost certain to strip him of his win once they review the...

162.158.134.130: /* Recursive package managers */ new section

I created this page manually. DgbrtBOT fail?

Also, notably, while the comic at xkcd.com works as intended (even from Chrome on Android, to a certain degree), the mobile site, m.xkcd.com, does not. It shows the standard system/browser-specific context menu. --[[User:Videblu|Videblu]] ([[User talk:Videblu|talk]]) 00:28, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
:The BOT didn't fail, the comic just wasn't released on Mon, Wen, or Fri. And in the past there was no comic on 1. April when it didn't fit into that rule. And the release was LATE; it was already the 2. April in Europe.--[[User:Dgbrt|Dgbrt]] ([[User talk:Dgbrt|talk]]) 09:45, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
:The mobile version at m.xkcd.com works fine in Android. --[[User:Dgbrt|Dgbrt]] ([[User talk:Dgbrt|talk]]) 10:56, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
::Untrue; going to m.xkcd.com on my Android devices brings up a '''non-interactive''' version of the comic, whereas going to xkcd.com (without setting the browser to present a Desktop client type) works fine. Viewing https://xkcd.com/1975 on mobile works fine for me; viewing https://m.xkcd.com/1975 does not work properly. I'm on Kit-Kat & Marshmallow, using the standard browsers; you?

Sorry if this is already well known, but there are a couple unlisted commands, e.g. you can delete things individually using rm -rf. It looks like auto-completion and * don't work. [[User:Power Factor|Power Factor]] ([[User talk:Power Factor|talk]]) 03:27, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Reluctant to call it an Easter Egg, but Utilities / Identify Song / Hey Now / Hey now na now / Sing "This Corrosion" to me inverts the colours on the comic/background [[User:Maslink|Maslink]] ([[User talk:Maslink|talk]]) 02:02, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

I managed to save the image by playing ADVENT.exe, has anyone else found other ways? [[Special:Contributions/162.158.75.172|162.158.75.172]] 00:54, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

'''COMIC MAY BE UNDER CONSTRUCTION''' I think one of the menu options change since the comic was first posted. Randall may still be changing things. --[[User:Videblu|Videblu]] ([[User talk:Videblu|talk]]) 01:15, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
: Actually it's that once you do some things others "unlock". For instance, accessing File > Open > A:\ > Insert > Floppy disk, and then File > Open > A:\ you get the Games, Music, and the really cool Bookmarks catalog of comics. Also, as said above, completing the game ADVENT.exe lets you go to save:

== Recursive package managers ==

are perfectly sane if the two package managers use different repositories, for example apt install python3-pip.

The true hilarity arrives if you install a package manager for the sole purpose of installing another, or if they use the same repositories. But that's not unheard of either: apt install npm && npm install yarn

1896: Active Ingredients Only

2018-03-23T23:18:53Z

162.158.134.130: /* Explanation */ added a note that not all medicine capsules may be opened safely to discourage improper and self-harming usage

{{comic
| number = 1896
| date = September 29, 2017
| title = Active Ingredients Only
| image = active_ingredients_only.png
| titletext = Contains the active ingredients from all competing cold medicines, plus the medicines for headaches, arthritis, insomnia, indigestion, and more, because who wants THOSE things?
}}

==Explanation==
This comic is a reference to how medicine typically has one (or a few) "Active" ingredient and many "Inactive" ingredients. This is played against the current trend of advertising food as containing "no additives and no preservatives".

[https://www.walgreens.com/topic/faq/questionandanswer.jsp?questionTierId=700008&faqId=1200068]Compounding pharmacists ''mix drugs without certain inactive ingredients such as preservatives, dyes, or binders for a patient who is allergic to these components.''

[[Randall]] thus presents a pack of {{w|Common cold|cold}} medicine that has "Active Ingredients Only", which is the name of the brand as can be seen since it has "™" after the name (the unregistered {{w|trademark}} symbol). It has six active ingredients and no inactive ingredients.

Cold medicines are commonly packaged in blister packs, with each dose contained separately, and vegans commonly open up gelatin capsules and discard the capsule, ingesting only the contents of the pill (note that this may '''not be safe'''. Please consult your pharmacist or doctor before doing this). By removing the inactive ingredients of the gelatin and the requirement to open it up, the slogan ''We're not here to waste your time'', is justified. This slogan is also trademarked.

The slogan is a registered trademark (®) while the product name is a common law trademark. This means that the slogan likely stays the same, while the product name changes from time to time.

Title text: Contains the active ingredients from all competing cold medicines, plus the medicines for headaches, arthritis, insomnia, indigestion, and more, because who wants THOSE things?
This may be be a follow-up (or a wish from Randall) after [[1618: Cold Medicine]], where [[Cueball]] wishes to try all possible types of cold medicine at once. The provided justification for combining all these medications is simple: These medicines cure unpleasant symptoms, so taking them all must be a good thing. What this ignores is that taking medicine intended to solve symptoms one doesn't have can be potentially harmful, and would likely be unavoidable for this product's consumers unless they are suffering from all these conditions simultaneously. Furthermore, mixing medications can often lead to unintended reactions and side effects, and is typically advised against.

The main joke is that popular cold medicines contain no antiviral ingredients at all, and treat symptoms only, as well as rely on the placebo effect. Having a sugar pill would possibly heal your body of a cold just as well, which may be a follow-up to [[1526: Placebo Blocker]], where a sugar pill is offered to treat a headache.

A secondary joke is by claiming the active ingredients from all "competing" cold medicines, the company producing this "Active Ingredients Only" may choose whom they say they are competing against. Some cold medications treat only pain and fever, for example, and do nothing for cough, congestion, runny nose and sneezing. Doctors recommend medicines which aid for the particular symptoms of the cold one is experiencing.

1913: A ï¿½

2017-11-08T23:08:34Z

162.158.134.130: /* Explanation */

{{comic
| number = 1913
| date = November 8, 2017
| title = A �
| image = i.png
| titletext = If you want in on the fun, map a key on your keyboard to the sequence U+0041 U+0020 U+FFFD (or U+0021 U+0020 U+FFFD for the exclamation point version), and then no update can never take this away from you.
}}

==Explanation==
{{incomplete|The page title, "A ï¿½", should be "A �". Should the page be moved?}}

After the update to {{w|Apple Inc.|Apple's}} {{w|IOS_11#11.1|iOS 11.1}}, many (though not all) {{w|iPhone}} users suffered from a strange bug, where the {{w|autocorrection}} changed any input of the single lowercase letter "i" to either "A" or "!" followed by a space and a Unicode {{w|Variation Selectors (Unicode block)|variation selector 16}} (U+FE0F, on iOS displayed as a question mark in a square).<ref>http://www.loopinsight.com/2017/11/06/ios-bug-autocorrects-letter-i-to-a-plus-unicode-symbol-heres-a-workaround-and-a-clue-to-the-cause/</ref> Using a {{w|Specials_(Unicode_block)#Replacement_character|replacement character}} to approximate this display, the result of typing "i took" might be "A � took" or "! � took". In a handwritten text, the "�" symbol could then be mistaken for a censored word. This problem previously manifested as an "I" followed directly by the VS-16 "emojify character", turning them into an " �" without the "A".<ref>https://twitter.com/willkirkby/status/925865928193134593</ref>

The codes in the title text refer to "A �" and "! �" respectively. The text provides a way to keep the "bug" active, (which can be realized through the use of a Cydia tweak) even after it is patched. Although this would have no practical use{{Citation needed}}, it is still a fun way for iPhone users to keep the infamous bug fresh in everyone's mind, and to make sure that the Apple company never lives down the embarrassing incident.

The statement in the title text "no update can never take this away from you" is a {{w|Double negative|double negative}}, so it actually means "any update can take this away from you". This may be a typo.
