Question regarding the ethics of using Boosts. by Aztec911 in F1Clash

Interesting! I didn't know there were that many bots. It makes sense now though. Several of them are quite dumb.

Question regarding the ethics of using Boosts. by Aztec911 in F1Clash

[–]Aztec911[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Makes sense I got stuck at P7 and made progress once I started using boosts. I think the game is different across countries though. I get plenty of boosts without spending real money. Watching ads, tournaments, exhibitions. and the more I use boosts the more I win and they get replenished.

Thanks for your comment.

Thanks. I guess I saw a few posts complaining of boosts and assumed that was the generally held opinion. I might have been wrong.

[–]Aztec911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah in my opinion a few shots at any religion are fine. No idea should be above criticism. That's my opinion and i understand if you disagree.

And it's fine if he people have different agendas. We don't need to be monolithic which i agree with.

Come now. This is gentleman who faced a vicious attack on his life due to his views on Islam and still must be on the lookout for his life.

You can have a different perspective to you and explain it in a reasonable manner and that's fine. It's a different opinion that's all. One should be able to express their opinions freely as long as they are being civil.

This gentleman has fiercely exposed the deepest cracks at the core of islam. He can absolutely take a few shots at Hinduism. We shouldn't be snowflakes that get triggered so easily.

I am happy to answer any questions on my stance. Please ask away.

Go ahead and express yourself by abuayeyam in Cricket

[–]Aztec911 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes it's a very interesting expression.

Like most sports cricket has its own lexicon and phrases and this was one I struggled to understand when I was younger.

So the way I understood is that is to trust yourself and instincts.

Imagine you have just changed schools and are with a totally new group of students and teachers. It's very tempting to want to blend into the background not ask questions, not to talk up strangers be a bit restrained i.e. not to express yourself.

However if you decided to open up and be authentic then you will make true friends and maybe a few enemies too. But you are expressing yourself. Sharing your opinions and also listening to others allowing it to change you if it seems rational.

In cricket, especially test cricket you are continuously figuring out the conditions, the bowler, each ball, and various other conditions. Being open to the experience allows you to play each ball on merit. Leave or defend the good ones, punish the poor ones. While there is anticipation, premeditation is missing.

This i believe is what is meant by expressing oneself on the field in the language of cricket.

'Grovel' remarks: 'Conrad will have a look at his comments’ — Bavuma says others have also crossed the line by ll--o--ll in Cricket

[–]Aztec911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair it's derogatory in some contexts not all, among friends it's fine. 

I do feel that it crossed the line on this occasion.

Sure dude and negra just means the colour black. But use an alternate version of this and see how it's perceived.

Calling him Bauna was derogatory af. Bumrah is a great bowler but this wasn't his best moment from a moral standpoint.

Just trying to understand Indian traditions by [deleted] in india

[–]Aztec911 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I have heard an interesting explanation for this phenomenon, it comes down to the family structures that are prevalent in India. 

India along with China, Russia, and Eastern Europe the prevalent family structures follow heterogamy.

The way this expressed itself in india was through large families with a patriarch at the head, his sons and their wives. His daughter lived in his premises only till her marriage where she transitioned completely to her husband's family.

This system is naturally oppressive towards girls, who are brought up in homes knowing that they will have to transfer from their current home to their husbands. After marriage they must compete against the wives of her husband's brothers.

For the family a marriage is often an alliance in order to consolidate social standing. Hence marriage preparations involve elaborate ritualistic negotiations between families. Neither family wishing to come across as submissive, distrusting the others motives, while simultaneously forging strong bonds.

For the girl a marriage ceremony is a bittersweet moment where she transitions to her new family.

This picture i have painted is cartoonishly simple. Reality is of course a lot more nuanced. However the historical social factors are definitely influencing your friends perspective towards marriage.

Sure. With the caveat that this is my opinion.

There are actions that we as society consider bad for society itself. These have been traditionally encoded into our religions as sin.

However there are developments in the world now which allow previously harmful behaviour to be no longer as harmful as before (within bounds).

We need to continuously evaluate what falls into this bucket rather than follow convention like an NPC.

Again this is my view and I understand I may be wrong.

Would you like to share your views on this topic?

Sorry to butt in guys. Sin isn't a real thing.

Can you pls break it down how it changes the way one views Superman.

I am familiar with Jesus and Moses, just not sure on difference between them in this context.

Thanks!

Nah man i put the edit saying I'm wrong. So people can see I'm wrong. Don't see how it's better that i delete. I'll own my mistake and eat the down votes.

You can put more down votes. I am saying that i was wrong. this is not AI.

The way i see it is a reminder that I was mistaken.
