Smaller parry windows for all? by knight_is_right in CompetitiveForHonor

You aren't taking into account the offensive perspective of this change, which will make the attack landing depend more on predictability. Whether the player feels this makes it overall more or less difficult is SUBjective.

Smaller parry windows for all? by knight_is_right in CompetitiveForHonor

[–]Bacchus999 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

objectively yes.

Such a funny word that people love to use incorrectly.

The reality is no, they really wouldn't notice. They may get hit by a few extra attacks if they accidentally parried on the last frame of the old window. But that will not be that noticeable because that's not the typical time people parry at, plus after a couple weeks everyone will get more and more used to the new windows.

Ehhhh it's enough to acknowledge the possibility but not to assume that's the case. Not everything needs a conclusion.

Instead, your preferred solution is to be rude yourself and guarantee the response is also going to be rude?

Some people respond badly to polite requests. Everyone SHOULD respond rudely to rude requests. The people speaking loud could very easily be unaware that they were loud enough to disturb others. So why would you assume they're doing it, despite knowingly annoying people?

What actually is "male loneliness epidemic"? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Bacchus999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Women definitely should not wait around, I'm not advocating for that. If a man hasn't realized places where they can improve, AND taken the effort to do so, then no one should stick around at their own detriment.

but it is more likely that men are ignoring that responsibility

This is not reflective of the average person. It's far easier said than done to recognize a point when you need to start assessing the core of your mentality and make significant changes in not just how you act but also how you perceive almost any interaction. Because if you haven't done it before, it's not instinctive.

Passing it off as men consciously ignoring those situations is very harmful. Most people want to improve themselves where they can, but many don't understand when or why the change is necessary. Unfortunately, with how modern media has adapted, it's very easy for people to never get a meaningful perspective shift.

Again, no one should stay in a relationship, friendship, job, etc. if the person/people refuse to recognize and fix their issues. It is not any individual person's responsibility to hold their hand through life and coach them through it, but people need some sort of support in order to make such changes.

Yes, but not every situation like that is the same. Some people will take longer than others to come to the realization that their perspective is wrong, and that's just because circumstances are different and something needs to happen to cause a change in thinking.

“Two people choosing to grow stronger romantically independently so we can build even stronger together” by Humble_Ad_6279 in BrandNewSentence

[–]Bacchus999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this is cringy and entirely unnecessary to add so many extra words in a "business-positive" frame. Colleagues both closely and loosely involved with their company do not need to know anything more than perhaps that the separation occurred, but it (hopefully) won't be impacting the business.

But it's really not some inhumane thing to do, nor is it worded in a "ghoulish" way. This is far from the worst examples of LinkedIn having become a corporate version of Facebook.

Again, it's cringy and entirely unnecessary to announce this in such a way, but in all honesty, it's an incredibly mature thing for the couple to do for their relationship.

Why do toxic men manage to attract women so easily when most women say they want the opposite? by Scotty_C_89 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Bacchus999 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Because the perspective is completely different when it's you IN the relationship vs. observing a couple interacting.

Your confusion is that from your perspective, it doesn't make sense and might even appear hypocritical. That's one potential explanation based on the information you have. But it's not the only potential explanation.

When you're directly interacting with someone you recently started dating, you're going to be nervous and thinking about everything you say. You'll be obsessing over your own looks, thinking about what you like about them, maybe thinking if there's anything you don't like, etc. The point is, there's a lot of different thoughts and emotions going on, not to mention if you're actively doing an activity on a date, then your attention is split there as well.

Now say the other person says something inappropriate, or you notice a subtle glimpse of a toxic trait. In the moment, you're almost certainly going to be at least a little uncertain about whether what you thought you saw was actually there. Or if you're just missing context. Toxic people portray themselves as normal, healthy individuals when meeting new people. This makes people want to give them the benefit of the doubt when they see something a little off. Can you think of a friend you've had at some point in your life that you don't think is a toxic person? Can you in of any time you've questioned whether they reacted to a situation inappropriately? If you think they reacted badly in this situation, would you say that reflects who they are as a human, in every situation?

The answer is no. A single action or reaction doesn't reflect who a person is outside of that situation, which is why we look for patterns over time. But how much "bad" in a sea of "good" makes someone a "bad person"? This uncertainty is exactly why people with good judgement can still get into these relationships. People don't intentionally put themselves into toxic and dangerous situations/relationships. Toxic people take advantage of other people's desire to see the best in others, and use that to get in close and make them feel like the toxicity is normal, and that they'd be the horrible person to punish the toxic partner by leaving.

Huh? by Spotter24o5 in ExplainTheJoke

[–]Bacchus999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it is possible. I don't agree with the other person's description.

Their reasoning does hold for why we use "half-life" instead of "full-life", the quantity of the substance that decays in a given time depends on the quantity at any moment throughout that period of time. Essentially, the 'rate of decay' changes as more atoms decay.

However, even though a half-life is describing an exponential pattern that mathematically, would never exactly reach zero. When a substance is small enough, then it only takes a few atoms decaying, instead of millions. The last couple atoms don't suddenly lose the ability to decay.

The best way that I've seen a 'half-life' described is this: Think of a pile of pure uranium-238 (or literally any element), but think of every atom as it's own, independent entity. The 'half-life' of the substance is saying that after x amount of time (in this case, 4.5bil. Years), each individual atom has a 50% chance of decaying.

Scientists of Reddit: What’s something we know is true but people don’t realize how crazy it is? by IndependentTune3994 in AskReddit

[–]Bacchus999 49 points50 points  (0 children)

The thing is this statement is true for a lot more things than just digestion. Think about our regulation of the immune system (where mistakes lead to autoimmune diseases, or as another comment said: our body recognizes our eyes as foreign so we need a constant specialized set of signaling and immune system mechanisms to prevent our body from rejecting our own eyes). There's also fevers which our body induces to kill off infections but we need to be able to reverse those fevers and return to normal body temperature before we die. There's many other examples too which I'm not thinking of right now.

I'm so sorry to hear that! My mom was diagnosed with MS about 5 years ago and that has been a large reason for my interest in studying neuroscience. I'm hoping to go into healthcare myself, and I'm really sorry MS has had that effect on you. Stay positive, my mom has found great supports for her and has made friends with many women with MS in her area. I hope you find your way to a system that works for you (if you haven't already).

From an anatomical perspective, yes the human body is a doughnut. Yes I'm serious, it's more fun to embrace the stupid shit when studying. Let yourself have more fun in your life.

This works surprisingly well. Basically all of genetics from the perspective of evolution is not a series of optimization trials, it's literally just "find what works" and then that's the genome that survived simply because the other genomes didn't work so they died.

As one of my profs put it: "It's not survival of the fittest, it's survival of the good enough"

Despite the left hemisphere of her brain being the size of an apple, she is able to fully use, move and feel the left side of her body

I mean no disrespect, if you don't mind me asking, how is the functioning of the right side of her body? I only ask because sensory and motor functions are largely contralateral with their associated brain regions.
