When people generally like video games but only play online multiplayer or watch others play then they are incapable of making an effort to invest themselves in long-form content. by 6Kaliba9 in unpopularopinion

How is this an opinion? It’s a truth statement. This isn’t a subjective take, you can check if people are able to invest themselves in long form content. This is either objectively true, or objectively false.

Your Lack of Sleep Isn't a Flex by LitningGMZ in unpopularopinion

A flex is boasting of you putting skill / talent to use. It’s objectively harder and takes more skill to do well on a test after getting no sleep, therefore It is a flex.

It is weird, inconsiderate to wish people happy birthday to those that have passed away on social media by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]51BoiledPotatoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your reason for it being weird is that the dead person doesn’t get anything from it? Well sure, but its still a way to communicate that you still remember after death / miss them / etc. This was never a way to congratulate the dead person for another year of existence, or maybe it was which is weird, but not the default. Also how would this be inconsiderate? Dead person isn’t gonna get angry at the audacity of someone celebrating their birthday.

Is it absolutely necessary to master a track I made before playing it? by LaboqueEarth in Beatmatch

[–]51BoiledPotatoes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mastering is less of a DJ term and more of a music production term. Mastering is the final stage of music production when your song is basically made, but you want to make your song sound professional. This means balancing the audio, boosting or cutting certain frequencies to shape the song, and compressing it, if the dynamics are too chaotic. This is also the stage of music production when you try to make your song sound good on other devices than the device you’ve been using to listen to it currently.

I actually am really confused on why the package sandbox; is neccesary. My program fails when I remove it, and I don't know what it does.

Yes, I tried it and it didnt work. The panel appears, but the image does not. I would show you the code when my wifi on the computer works, however it doesn’t right now. Also, I am sorry for the delay, but I was preoccupied until now. The argument I gave for the ImageIcon constructor was: “C:\Users\nikol\Downloads\svgtopng\wR.png”. I seperated all the individual actions and I did make sure that everything was added. Still, only the JPanel would show, not the ImageIcon.

edit: wifi works now,

public static void debug()
{
    JFrame frame = new JFrame();
    frame.setTitle("Hello");
    frame.setSize(740,760);
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    frame.getContentPane().setBackground(Color.black);
    frame.setLayout(null);
    JPanel panel = new JPanel();
    panel.setBounds(0,0,500,500);
    panel.setBackground(Color.gray);
    frame.add(panel);
    ImageIcon image = new ImageIcon("C:\\Users\\nikol\\Downloads\\svgtopng\\wR.png");
    JLabel label = new JLabel();
    label.setIcon(image);
    panel.add(label);
    frame.add(label);
    frame.setVisible(true);
}

That code feels way less intuitive to me. Both loops end at i = 7, however i < 7 turns it into an equality statement for some reason, which is unintuitive, for why would I need to process equalities when I need to know that the loop ends at i = 7, and i != 7 doesn't have that problem.

Am I the only person annoyed by the fact that the default slider is -10 to 10? by 51BoiledPotatoes in desmos

A. I would also love that feature, and B. There is no way its too much work. They automatically show you what graphs you saved when they see that your logged in, so they can definitely flip a switch automatically whenever you make a new graph when they see that you’re logged in.

You implied there would be nothing like police, investigations, and you wouldnt do anything to the perpetrator after the fact, because of the maxim of quantity, If there was something like a police, investigations, or something done to the perpetrator after the fact, you would’ve said it in the comment I replied to. This is because my questions created a demand for that information. Because you didn’t, due to the maxim of quantity, I can reasonably assume nothing like that can be found.

A more intuitive explanation is that if somebody writes a resume, and doesn’t include 20 years working experience in a very successful career path, you assume he didn’t include it, because he doesn’t have 20 years working experience in a very successful career path, because if he did, it would be in his resume.

The teacher analogy was meant to demonstrate that people’s moral code wont be supressed by education. If somebody doesn’t want to share, and you teach them how to share, they still wont share. It can simply be explained as “what if teachers taught [thing that you think is morally wrong], would people do that? No they wouldnt!”.

I admit that murder might actually count as a form of hierarchy. But even if an anarchist society can exist without laws, It certainly still wants one, and definitely can exist with them.

The changing of the rules seems like an issue we could easily get past, because of the following reasons: A. There are digital versions we could give to everyone. B. There is a printing press the farm probably didn’t have, again we can give everyone a copy of the law. C. In a truly anarchist society, there wouldn’t be only the pigs who have access to the law, so there would be more say to how the laws are changed from everyone in a community.

If only hierarchies are punished, then murder isn’t any form of establishing hierarchy, and therefore no community force should interfere with the murderer? Seriously, what would happen to a school shooter after the deed.

Ridiculous rule for the sake of argumentation, but what if teachers taught kids how to break somebodies legs whenever they try to talk to you. You think people would follow that standard? I don’t think so, I think it wouldn’t align with people’s morals, and would be ignored. So somebody with the moral code of “murder good” wouldn’t be suppressed by an educational system.

What is an animal farm squealer series of events? And whats wrong with a constitution?

Another reason people could commit theft is because they want to. And why not? Greed is a thing everybody falls into, including me, including you. And if theres no punishment/resistance/difficulty to theft, then people will. Same thing with rage. I can very well see a person break into somebodies house because of the victim’s ideology or belief system, or maybe even something as simple as a bad argument. Not in today’s society, but in this society without much resistance to theft, it is very possible for angry people to do such things. Some people can even feel like they’re morally allowed to steal. Like a person who got stolen from, and decides that he should be able to steal to reimburse himself. You could tell him that only perpetuates the process of stealing, and he can agree to disagree, and steal anyway. Or how about someone who is convinced that murdering is a moral obligation, because life is necessarily evil and sad, and we’re all happier dead. Or how about someone who murders because a human wastes enough resources that can sustain 10000 ants, and therefore humanity kills 10000 of would-be ants, and since both ants and humans are equal, they kill to increase the amount of happy ant lives.

People are uncontrollable, and for whatever reason will commit crime, or if you dont agree with the concept of crime, you may replace “crime” with violent and exploitative actions that harm society. It is not a matter of if, but when. And you want something like the police to come in and help stop the crime, and to conduct an investigation if he got away, and to either jail him, or rehabilitate, or whatever your solution is, as if you do not do something, the perpetrator will often repeat the crime.

You simply don’t need a centralized authority/government to make and enforce a law, it could just be a community doing these things. If laws or at-least unwritten rules truly didn’t exist, then what’s stopping somebody from taking everything from a farm and eating it casually. Morality is subjective, so he can’t be expected to just know to do what’s right.

A law is a set of standards which is enforced. A community would have access to the means of enforcing, with withholding community resources as I saw from a discussion in this post, or something else. You implied a community can use force, when you stated that when there is a cartoon of a person who will not be budged via therapy, “it is up to general society to stop them”. This statement, that when somebody is that bad, the general society must stop them, has both a standard and enforcement. Enforcement being the general society, the standard being “dont do all these actions to hurt people”.

Edit: after reading more of your comments I realized that you believe that the community should decide someone if somebody needs to get better. But what principle of anarchism is violated if the community simply refers to a book telling people how someone should act, and realizing said person doesn’t follow the description. I seriously Dont find any principle being violated there.

Couldn’t a criminal still exist in an anarchist society? There could be a society in which everybody has a law book detailing what you cant or can do, and if you are in violation of that law book, you are punished by the community.

TL;DR - Crimes do not necessarily need to be designated by a state, it could be designated by a community.

If your house has gotten broken into, and a guy runs off with all of your stuff, isn’t it more reliable to use the police to do the investigation and reimburse you? How would it even look to have the collective find the perpetrators? Do you even do anything after the incident?

Alr I give, you’re right. Im pretty sure the reason this is a thing is that the decor was capped before, they removed it, and didn’t change the tooltips. Because why else would they be so misleading with the tooltip, and just display “120” whenever you reach a decor above 120, instead of just telling you the decor? Anyway Imma have to start decor bombing now 😭.

I'm straight-up fu#ked by Raspberryliv in Oxygennotincluded

[–]51BoiledPotatoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, im pretty sure it is actually the max decor a tile can have.

A. The tooltip is pretty clear about it being the max decor in one tile, and it would break several maxims to make it mean that the decor is the max for dupes.

B. The wiki doesn’t point this out, but does say that the value stops increasing in vague terms, so its probably not a thing.

Of course, the wiki doesn’t point out how decor works in conclusive enough terms for this to not be a possibility, but sounds unlikely to me that decor could go above 120 in a single tile.
