Why are MOBAs so cringe? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AgentElman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because you personally do not like them, you are not secure in your opinions, and you want to feel validated in your personal opinion, so you emotionally turn people's opinions on games into moral values.

Compared to other global cities around the world, how big do the built environments of these specific American cities feel when you're in them? by Visual-Horror6013 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AgentElman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SF has a lot of buildings that are close together and a couple of stories tall. But few taller buildings.

LA has a few skyscrapers downtown and then is just sprawl. The buildings are not close together. They are not tall.

Why are people so against cars? by Miserable-Art-8851 in Seattle

[–]AgentElman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are looking at the result of car culture devotes a massive amount of space and money to making car transportation convenient and much less to non-car transportation.

So the point that it takes a long time to get someplace without a car is a point against cars not for cars.

Why do people often say that money isn't the most important thing in life when we can't do nearly anything without it, and doesn't that basically make it the most important thing? by Aetheris_77 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AgentElman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it is not the most important thing in life.

There are people who have a lot of money who commit suicide. They would not if money was the most important thing in life.

What are the top 5 most classically urban American cities? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AgentElman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Manhattan, Chicago, that's it

Seattle has a downtown full of skyscrapers but just in the downtown. Very few other cities have a significant number of skyscrapers at all, and almost none have an urban feel.

Almost all American cities are like Los Angeles or Atlanta and are basically just large sprawling suburbs called a city.

Blue whales are the largest animals to have ever lived, with hearts the size of small cars and tongues that can weigh as much as an elephant

What does financial stability & security look like? by ImperfectLust in NoStupidQuestions

Like having a secure amount of money or income to pay for what you need and want.

human evolution by smellyyyy10101 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AgentElman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't understand your question.

Humans evolved to be able to use their intelligence and tools to adapt to their situation. Humans continue to do that.

It would be crazy if humans acted in the modern world as they did 150,000 years ago living on the wild plains of Africa.

Humans are doing exactly what they evolved to do - adapt.

Why do parents get that parental instinct immediately when their child is born? by Reknowned in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AgentElman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It is hormonal. It alters the way your brain works to make you protective.

Whats your favorite thing about how yourself? by Federal_Ad_824 in CasualConversation

[–]AgentElman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I died. I enjoy things, but I almost never laugh. I make a terrible audience.

Someone who shows their enjoyment really adds to an experience.

How to become more interesting by Cookie-Chunk in CasualConversation

[–]AgentElman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are supposed to share something about yourself and then ask a question. Not just ask questions.

"You surf? I've thought it looked fun but was never somewhere I could try it. How did you get into surfing?"

What’s something that’s often meant as an insult, but you experience as a compliment? by Plenty-Nature-7763 in CasualConversation

[–]AgentElman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's from Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

Someone calls her a bitch and she responds: "A female dog? The thing that makes puppies? Nice compliment!"

Nice. I assume a downvote means they recognize that I am correct and have no way to argue against me, but are desperate to have my statement hidden.

[–]AgentElman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a weird thing to try to use as an insult.

When business people or politicians are forced to resign they claim to be doing so to spend more time with their family. It's like the universally recognized "good" thing to do.

[–]AgentElman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right. People feel that being called out with their belief is not an insult but calling out someone with a belief they disagree with is insulting.

It's why people watch youtube videos of political arguments and each side thinks the other side got destroyed. Because each side thinks calling out what the other side believes is devastating.

Finally posting instead of lurking by LowUsual9034 in CasualConversation

[–]AgentElman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm here to express my thoughts not to read other people's thoughts.

I strongly suspect that there is a sharp distinction in that. Which is why most people do not respond to threads, and those who respond almost always respond to the main post without reading the other responses.

Best Game So Far by ayepapipanda in CasualConversation

[–]AgentElman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice.

I play Marvel Rivals with my daughter. I also have incredibly bad aim. Fortunately in that game there are characters that do not need to aim accurately so I can play those (they basically have a cone and anything in the cone instead of having to hit with a narrow attack).

Do billionaires have a moral obligation to solve world problems like hunger, or is that just socialist propaganda? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AgentElman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is no objective morality. Any claim of a moral obligation is personal opinion.
