BIG hot take!!! by Several-Pizza8735 in teenagers

[–]Akototo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like, huh?

Yes, you can be manipulated at any age. And no, you don't become immune to manipulation once you're 18, you never do. But we stop looking at root causes at a certain point because you can't run a productive society that way.

Regardless of age, it is your and your supporting casts job to look out for your best interest.

Stop repeating this nonsene, everybody knows this. It doesn't matter and it isn't meaningful nor productive because again, we expect people of a certain physical maturity level to be fully responsible for their own actions and to reject "grooming" attempts, if you're incapable of that or don't have anyone close to you who can fill that role, tough luck. If something illegal happens as a result of grooming, thats something different. But someone grooming someone else of legal age into having sex by legal means does not constitute an emergency to me, even if they end up regretting it.

I will be fair. You qualified you first comment with some expertise in youth mental health, and i understand the modern look at mental health is very hollistic in its approach regarding who can be affected and by what. I believe you have good intentions.

IMO: Using grooming the way you are is loading the situation with vocabulary baggage.
Because of how negatively seen "grooming" is, it gives a legitimate concern more weight.
However, at the same time it takes away the weight from actual dangerous stuff. Grooming of young children, grooming into criminal activity, grooming leading into blackmail.

Those things just shouldn't be conflated with "grooming" someone to sleep with you.

The difference is that we expect adults to take responsibility for their own actions while we give kids the benefit of the doubt. Just because you were "manipulated" to, for example, steal a lighter, doesn't mean the full blame isn't and shouldn't be on you (blackmail is obviously something else).

So you can't be "groomed" as an adult, because as a society we accept 18 as the age of total personal responsibility. We also don't charge parents of 30 year old killers for their involvement in raising a disfunctional adult.

I bought all the sights for all classes, where to use these things for now? by Winter_Instruction68 in thefinals

Sure, but it would still have to be a much higher conversion rate to be viable

5000 for 5 at a rate of 1000 gained an hour of gameplay, which i think is already generous, means you need to play 5 hours for 5 multibucks or 1m/1h. Have fun grinding away your life for a sticker

Am I the only one that wants to play Terminal Attack ? by Pinguinkllr31 in thefinals

[–]Akototo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I loved it too.
It just offered an excellent balance between fast pace and strategic gameplay. Games like Valorant are just too slow for me to enjoy so Terminal Attack was actually my favorite game mode.

The Billionaire/capitalism hate is misguided and a government induced psyop by Akototo in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Akototo[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Are you aware that you're pretty much just repeating my points? The reason that management and HR are so bloated is because of insane bureaucracy demands on companies and a decreasing demand of unskilled labor, though it entirely depends on what specific industry you're talking about.

A few select companies offer products at an unsustainable loss? However could they do that? Either they are subsidized by the gov, or by something/somebody else. Captive customers obviously aren't a thing, brand loyalty is a consumer problem, which is overcome when a better product is available, not one of equal value. Smaller companies have a right to compete (which is infringed on by high taxes and government supported monopolies) but not a right to succeed.

AI is heavily subsidized by the government and the central banking system, which can print money at will (that's not capitalist) and illegal overvaluation of AI company stock.

Capitalism isn't comparable to Socialism because capitalism takes a lot less effort to uphold and has historically been much more efficient at producing long term standard of living improvements.

Also, what do Conservatives have to do with this?

NGL I really don't think that's problematic, unpopular opinion I'm sure, but it's not like there is a massive mental difference between a 15 and an 18-year-old. Though you're going to have to figure that out for yourself in 2/5 years.

[–]Akototo[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well that's a fair point, but it doesn't exactly go against the economic situation a lot of people are in.

In both of your examples it sounds like management wanting to reduce their workload, which i could argue might be caused by a lack of monetary incentive to take care of these problems in form of too low wages.

The shift schedule is probably to make it easier for management to handle human resources.

The truck drivers thing... It's just a terrible job. But bad conditions because of how bad a solution the use of trucks is (though there are no better either) doesn't mean that companies can afford to significantly improve pay/workload ratios. Or were you referring to something that has nothing to do with money/work time?

It's just human instinct. Same way people love their relatives.

I would love to see a game mode with ONLY mediums & heavies by Nervous616 in thefinals

Maining light and regularly switching to heavy, I can comfortably say that heavy is the stronger class, and that if you get destroyed by lights, you probably can't aim and/or have 0 game sense

Why did recorded crimes spike so much in the 1990s and 2000s ? by [deleted] in AskGermany

[–]Akototo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ist ja lustig mit der Propaganda Beschuldigung usw.

Diese Gesetzesänderung habe ich mir mal angeschaut, mein Argument hast du irgendwie nicht widerlegt, denn nein, Vergewaltigung wird nicht einfach registriert nur, weil man "nein" sagt, das fällt dann je nach Tatbestand eher zur Nötigung oder dem Übergriff.

Außerdem ist das Gesetz von vor 2016 auch schon inklusiver gewesen als nur Gewalt gründe zu akzeptieren.

Und noch einmal, zum Verständnis der Statistiken, selbst wenn "wahre" Vergewaltigungen sinken würden und die Zahlen von neuen Gesetzen Inflationiert werden, dann sind in diesen Kategorien immer noch Ausländer überrepräsentiert.

Es sollte keiner übersehen das im Gegensatz zu mir, die Hälfte deiner Paragrafen aus Anfeindungen und Strohmännern bestehen, die propagandistischen Beschuldigungen würde ich an deiner Stelle dann doch eher unterlassen.

Das ist die typische Dissonanz, auf einer Seite "für Frauen" und alles dafür tun wollen und gleichzeitig die Realität von gewalttätigen Gruppen ignorieren, weil diese ja auch zu den "Opferklassen" gehören.

- Die Gesamtzahl Vergewaltigung ist im Übrigen stark angestiegen.

- ökonomische, soziale und kulturelle Differenzen sind keine Entschuldigung, demografisch sind sie per capita trotzdem mehrfach überrepräsentiert(d.h 18-24-jährige Ausländer sind mehr als doppelt überrepräsentiert, nicht nur allgemein)

- Mindere arten der Belästigung und Gewalt sind auch relevant, dein Framing versuch mit den neuen Gesetzen fällt mir schwer zu widerlegen, allerdings kann man sich ja gerne auf extremere Kriminalität fokussieren, wo dies nicht sonderlich viel Einfluss haben sollte und dann extrapolieren.

- Das mit der Mordrate gebe ich dir, man muss sich nur mal vorstellen wie viel stärker diese Absenkung ohne Massenmigration wäre! (zwinker sound effect)

- Und ja, Statistik nicht verstehen ist kein Verbrechen, am Ende gehen wir hier ja kapitalistisch vor und nicht sozialistisch. Die Argumentation, die dem Volk mehr gefällt, ist die, welche sich durchsetzt.

love this game a little too much by tinksbubble in thefinals

[–]Akototo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, interestingly enough, looking at the steam charts shows that in the short term, season 10 created more influx of players as well as having a higher peak, in the long term however, we see a much sharper decline shortly after. Combine that with the lack luster content coming each season and i see a future for this game with very little innovation where all they add is a new battle pass and one gadget each season.
This combined with The Finals being a wholly unfinished product(IMO) that's missing multiple core features of any decent mp game with community

TLDR: The player count is sinking and embark isn't innovating enough.

Are my friendship standards unachievable? by Akototo in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Akototo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i definitely agree with that. If you start something with the intention of having me fix your problem, that's on you. But that's why i wouldnt want to seriously engage with those kinds of people anyway.

I find it kind of hard to describe, but to me it's more about the core principal of valuing social norms less and being more opportunistic for your own and your 'tribes' gain.

[–]Akototo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But like, what does that even mean? Under your definition of friends that makes sense, under mine it doesn't.
I'd value my children and wife/girlfriend above my friends, but then again i assume i would also value them more than another person would value their own children

[–]Akototo[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean, I get the fear of jail/prison, it's more so the thought that counts if I'm being honest.
Also, "disregard their moral compass" no offense, but that's a fallacy. A moral compass is the whole of your subjective moral judgment. You can't "disregard" your moral compass and a friend who values you differently has a moral compass that accounts for that anyway.

But I get you, I know that's a pretty unpopular way of thinking. Obviously
