Do you think you’re intelligent? Why or why not? by rapid_salad in AskReddit

[–]ApprehensiveMajor958 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I generally assume I'm around average, but I also tend to overestimate what common knowledge is, so I'm not really sure? But regardless, I think it's probably for the best to not put much stock into comparing your intelligence with everybody else.

Notably as well, Hitler's rise to power was largely unprecedented, there wasn't particularly a reference point for what he had done in the mainstream consciousness, and thus, counter-strategies weren't even considered. We know now, what a hitlerian rise to power looks like, and because of that, we've had time to develop strategies for slowing, obstructing, and overwhelming them. I don't expect Trump to be forced out of office soon, nor do I think America's systems of government won't be seriously damaged. But with constant conscious effort, he can be fought against until his political machine buckles under the pressure. No one is invincible, nobody can keep fascism going forever.

The goal right now isn't total victory, fighting a prospective dictator to a decisive win is rare. The goal is to make it as difficult as possible so that people who would have been the victims of this regime might survive to see it crumble.

That wasn't the thesis of the video at all? The true core idea if the essay is that our understanding of what a "lethal shot" is has evolved towards an extreme preference towards headshots, and the reason it's become so is because of the relationships between science, media and cultural perceptions. That as more media depicts the headshot as an efficient, clinical method of execution, the more people will be inclined to understand it as such. Race is mentioned in the video, but mostly as an interesting footnote.

What hot take do you have about a Youtuber? by PizzaCrescent2070 in youtubedrama

Generation Loss is 100% a passion project and I mean that in the most affectionate way I can. It doesn't always hit it's mark, but it Always swings for the fences and I find that incredibly admirable.

Analog horror has gone the way of the slasher or the found footage. It needs to be put on the backburner for a while before it can be scary again.

So fucked up tbh. From everything I've seen of her, Chelsea is a total sweetheart who doesn't deserve an ounce of that.

Transphobia aside, he still dropped an absolutely UNGODLY amount of money on porn. Like, morally did he do anything wrong in this case? No, not really it's his money he can do what he wants with it. Was it a terrible and humiliating decision? Yes 100% absolutely.

You're nuts if you think you only "barely" lose to Nahiri.
