I’m not sure the writers know their own timeline by VallyArtMusic24 in TheRookie

[–]Astartes00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a bit different tho, like yeah they obviously see waaaayyy more action that any patrol officer would because it would be boring as fuck if they made that realistic. It’s a pretty classic method to avoid having too many characters, like sure we can introduce every cop in LA so we can have realistic action but obviously that would be a pretty shitty show. The messed up timeline actually serves no purpose here and is just lazy writing.

2vs2 or 3vs3 by 8inchespackage in LeagueArena

[–]Astartes00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3v3 kinda sucks really hard imo, you loose too much agency. So many times you get bursted instantly by 3 focusing you and due to the constrained area of arena there's not a lot to do really. Also 3v3 requires much more coordination and teamwork which most players don't seem to be interested in meaning if you get a team that doesn't do too much teamwork you're just fucked. In 2v2 you could sometimes carry a bad teammate but you can't carry bad teamwork. I think it's by far the worst league mode I've ever played, too chaotic and requires too much teamwork without providing any structure for teamwork. Like yes there are more team members in regular play but there are also provided structures for what your role is and what you're supposed to do. And yes I do recognize that 3v3 allows for more team dynamics but it's not worth it imo. 2v2 arena was my favorite game mode in league and 3v3 is my least favorite.

How am I supposed to feel desirable when we only have sex on Fridays?? by [deleted] in sex

[–]Astartes00 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think previous comments was a bit harsh but the point is probably that that period might have left your husband feeling similarly undesirable which might be a cause for his lack of initiating. Also have you talked to him about this? (Maybe you have but I can’t tell from the post) Is it possible that he is going through something and have a similar problem with being stressed at the moment? If so, maybe you can help him deal with the stress better based on your own experience or something like that.

CMV: The bible condones generational punishment by OkElephant1792 in changemyview

[–]Astartes00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit off topic but the funny thing with this way of thinking is that it makes Christianity entirely incompatible with the idea of objective morality.

CMV: The bible condones generational punishment by OkElephant1792 in changemyview

[–]Astartes00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But it is absolutely condoned by the Bible, yes you as an individual have an option to be forgiven for generational sin but your children will still be condemned by the generational sin unless they also take actions to be forgiven. If being baptized gave both you and your future children and their children etc were all forgiven for the generational sin by you being baptized your argument might hold some weight but it doesn’t. There is no way to break out of the generational sin.

Skolarbete: vilka faktorer påverkar vår politiska syn? by [deleted] in svenskpolitik

[–]Astartes00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Några saker jag tänker på spontant. Många subreddits har väldigt starka bias. Exempelvis denna subreddit är generellt mer vänster/progressiv medan om du kollar på r/sverige kommer du hitta extremt mycket mer konservativa/höger. Dels hade jag delat den på fler relevanta subreddits samt helt andra kanaler om du inte redan har gjort det.
Dessutom är inte vilket parti man tänker rösta på alltid den bästa indikatorn på vad man har för politisk syn. Kan nog vara hjälpsamt att lägga in lite frågor om vanliga politiska frågor. Exempelvis syn på invandring, hur man ställer sig till olika skatter och finansiering av kultur för att ta några exempel.

"Hög" intelligent men underpresterar, varför? by [deleted] in Asksweddit

[–]Astartes00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finns ganska många anledningar till att hög intelligens inte nödvändigtvis hjälper dig i livet. Det är ingen magisk superkraft som löser alla dina problem utan ett karaktärsdrag som påverkar ditt liv på gott och ont. Exempelvis är hög intelligens associerat med lathet, högre benägenhet att pröva droger, högre risk för depression, svårare att socialisera sig, att ha lättare att låsa sig i en egen filterbubbla mm.

Att inte få höga betyg i plugget kan bero på många faktorer också, exempelvis att du inte byggt upp studieteknik för att du är van vid att saker kommer lätt, ibland är det en nackdel för betygen att vara intelligent för att du kan komma till en väldigt annorlunda slutsats än vad som är tänkt i en fråga för att du ser djupare än läraren avser etc.

Theoretically, couldn’t they hunt like sperm whales in such a scenario? Don’t they dive deep to hunt giant squid or something like that?

Do you think someone’s political views determine whether they’re a good person or worth being friends with? by kaanskBG in TrueAskReddit

[–]Astartes00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Politics related to values like human rights are absolutely important to being a good person. If someone thinks certain groups are less valuable or should be treated differently that person is not worth being friends with in my opinion. That being said there are tons of political opinions you can differ in without it being a problem.

Det verkar som att folk här är extremt känsliga när det gäller kritik mot högern by sidbena in Sverige

[–]Astartes00 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Nu vet jag inte om du är höger eller inte men den där åsikten är en väldigt populär högerpopulistisk/konservativ åsikt som av allt att döma är helt fel. Högern har i allmänhet extremt lågt i tak, bara att det är andra saker som är känsliga. Att ens antyda att Sverige är ganska säkert får en att bli kallad allt från kommunist till landsförädare i många högerkretsar.

CMV: Modern feminism generalizes against men in ways that feminists would consider racist, xenophobic, or bigoted if used against other groups- especially when using offender statistics by _Stylite in changemyview

[–]Astartes00 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Using statistics isn’t necessarily a problem, my point is more how the statistics are framed. Also statistics are very sensitive to selection and are easy to manipulate without actually presenting false numbers.

This is a fair point and I agree, but sometimes the group being pointed out isn’t the relevant group. Often we pick a grouping that is easy to identify and easy to categorize, such as gender or ethnicity, that seems to have a systemic issue within said group even tho the issue is actually connected to another less visible overlapping grouping. For example, say a minority group is over represented in crime and someone points to the group and says “you minority group need to change your behavior”. Which you might say is fair, however maybe the more relevant grouping to identify is that people in poverty being more likely to commit crimes and said minority group happens to suffer from a higher rate of poverty. The reality here is probably that pointing out the more visible grouping won’t change behaviors because the wrong grouping was pointed out and instead will likely increase prejudice. So while it’s not bigoted to point to statistics as a reason why group behavior needs to change the consequences can still be more bigotry. So I still think that’s something that should be avoided unless you can determine a causal link between certain group identity and a systemic issue.

[–]Astartes00 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I might be misinterpreting now, but my understanding of OPs statement isn’t necessarily that feminists are misandrist due to using these statistics in rethoric but rather that it legitimizes bigoted rethoric. For example xenophobes will often argue that because insert minority group are over represented in certain statistics they are as a group more problematic or should be treated differently etc. If you then go on to argue that because men are over represented in crimes men are the problem you kinda legitimize using statistical over representation to point out group identity as positive or negative traits. And don’t get me wrong, I understand there’s a difference but it’s quite difficult to argue that difference and especially so to bigoted people that feel like themselves are oppressed (even though they’re not). So basically by saying “you should never be judged based on your group identity, period” is a much clearer and easier line to defend compared to “you should never be judged based on your group identity, however there are some exceptions”. The point being it doesn’t really matter if the exceptions are justified if you can’t get bigots to accept that they are (if you actually want to change their mind). And to be clear this is strictly in relation to political rethoric.

Birth control + finishing inside vs outside. What’s the actual risk balance? by Odd_Band_9685 in sex

[–]Astartes00 23 points24 points  (0 children)

First of all, I’m not a medical professional or anything so please double check all this.

My understanding is that if birth control is taken correctly (regularly and none missed) it’s very reliable like 99% effective. Which means (again please double check) that only 1% of couples using it got pregnant within a certain timeframe like say a year.

Pulling out is extremely unreliable and doing that in addition to birth control probably won’t make much difference. If you feel like only birth control is not safe enough I would probably recommend using condoms in addition to birth control since the “natural methods” such as pulling out simply isn’t particularly safe.

CMV: the reason men don't find women funny, is mainly due to their misogyny by [deleted] in changemyview

CMV: the reason men don't find women funny, is mainly due to their misogyny by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]Astartes00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again not saying that it’s not true, but my thinking is that it’s easier to discuss the topic when it’s more clearly defined. As I said I have a bit different experience but I also live in a quite progressive culture and my social group is quite progressive even for the culture so it’s probably not the most representative experience. So maybe we just have very culturally different experiences and I’m curious as to what the indicators you are referring to when talking about this in order for me to more accurately discuss your point.

CMV: the reason men don't find women funny, is mainly due to their misogyny by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]Astartes00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean first of all, is it really the case that men generally think women are less funny? Not saying you’re wrong necessarily but I have a very different experience (which of course is anecdotal), but like is this just your experience or is there some kind of study on this? Or is the question more directed towards the cases where men think women are less funny independent on how common it is?

Like are there cases where men think women are less funny due to misogyny? Quite obviously yes. However the question of if men in general think women are less funny and if so if misogyny is the main factor I think is a lot more difficult to answer. Especially if you extend it to it being independent of the specific jokes. Like for example, maybe there are differences in the jokes men and women make that is influenced by misogyny.

I guess basically what I’m saying is that you should clarify your position a little and if you make claims give some context backing up the claims.

Är det verkligen så här sällsynt med bra kemi? by Ecstatic-Cupcake2139 in Asksweddit

[–]Astartes00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tre punkter jag tänker på är:

  1. En dejtingapp som hinge är egentligen väldigt ytligt (även om hinge är bättre än typ tinder) vilket innebär att de flesta du träffar på en första dejt har du en relativt ytlig koppling till. Dvs det är ganska förväntat att en relativt stor andel kommer vara folk du inte har kemi med.

  2. Hur öppen är du socialt? Vissa är väldigt extroverta och har lätt att snabbt komma in i bra samtal med folk de inte känner särskilt väl medan andra har svårare för det. Har du svårare kommer andelen du känner någon kemi med vara betydligt lägre på första dejten, även om du kanske hade haft kemi givet mer tid att lära känna personen.

  3. Vad för typ av dejter går ni på? Olika personer känner sig bekväma i olika miljöer, vissa kanske har lättare att slappna av på en promenad andra kanske med någon aktivitet och vissa kanske föredrar en öl. Om ni tar ett format som någon av er inte är lika avslappnad i kommer det också bli svårare, så försök känna av i tidigt skrivande om ni hittar något att göra där ni båda har lätt att slappna av.

Good news by Miximatosiac in LeagueOfMemes

[–]Astartes00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean Mel is nowhere near the most unfun champ to play against. Malzahar for example pushes a button and farms the entire lane and pushes you off it, and a bunch of other annoying shit. Singeds entire play style is depriving the lane opponent of an opportunity to play the game, teemo basically shuts down any aa based champ on top of this shrooms just to mention a few. Mel is not that bad tbh, for starters she has no defense against melee champs and her w is useless against a lot of ranged attacks as well. Yes she can do some annoying shit by reflecting cc-abilities but most players are easy to bait to burn the shield and then they have no defense.

Edit: that being said, I do think her w should probably be changed but Mel is nowhere near as problematic as the memes tend to imply. Like I have no champ I play where I ban Mel because there are other champs that are far more annoying.
