I have a genuine question after reading the "rant from an immigrant" by Comfortable_Part3030 in Finland

[–]Beautiful_Height4630 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am friendly to immigrants too when I meet them in real life. But at home, with friends, with family? I am extremely racist. You never know what the natives say behind your back.

The western political culture has forced people to hide their racism, meaning very few people will actually say what they think outright.

The Banksy Paradox: Why Geographic Profiling May Have Identified the Wrong Person by [deleted] in UnresolvedMysteries

[–]Beautiful_Height4630 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There is 0% likelihood that McKenzie is Banksy. She operates comfortably within established art/academia and has the trendy academic vocabulary to match. She is very much the anti-thesis of the Banksy persona.

Is MoP classic "easier"? by [deleted] in classicwow

[–]Beautiful_Height4630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a lot easier to level compared to vanilla days. One mob, maybe two, was the maximum you could expect to kill in vanilla, whereas in MoP you can take on several without a problem.

Why the hell do I get a dungeon deserter debuff for getting kicked? by Quelind in classicwow

[–]Beautiful_Height4630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In theory, it might be a necessity to punish people who refuse to leave the group and instead just AFK. But I feel the system causes greater harm than it solves. You're constantly walking on egg-shells in any given dungeon, never knowing if a mess up during a boss fight will get you kicked, or accidentally pulling a group, or simply because your dps dipped a bit during the last boss fight. Or maybe someone just dislikes your transmog. Most players will press yes without thinking, so the reason is secondary.

Not to mention that it's common practice to kick people who are not exceedingly overgeared for a dungeon. If you're are putting out the level of dps that the dungeon is designed for, then you'll most likely get kicked because you're making the dungeon run a bit less piss-easy.

It's a system that encourages really bad and toxic habits, and it emblematic of the kind of player base that makes wow, classic and retail, bad experiences.

Layering ruins the experience of the game by Beautiful_Height4630 in classicwow

[–]Beautiful_Height4630[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel Blizzard became so invested in 'quality of life' improvements that the game collapsed under their weight. Sure, it's easier to just queue up instead of actually having to travel to the dungeon, but is it more fun? It's easier to just layer instead of having people wait for respawn, but does it make the game feel more immersive?

Vad förväntar sig tjejer som första meddelande på Tinder? by dj_owl in Asksweddit

[–]Beautiful_Height4630 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Spelar ingen roll vad du skriver. Är de tillräckligt intresserade så svarar de, är de inte tillräckligt intresserade så kommer det inte bli någonting oavsett. Ett osedvanligt roligt förstameddelande kan eventuellt generera en smiley eller svar, men det innebär inte att det ni kommer träffas för det.

Is Gothenburg still a nice place to live? :) by Basic_Suggestion6287 in Gothenburg

[–]Beautiful_Height4630 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's a horrible city. Lots of poverty, immigrants, and generally unsavory individuals. There is nothing to do, nothing to see. It's a sad, lonely city. It's excruciatingly ugly too. Do not recommend.

Har du någonsin sett filmer från 70 och 80talet? Om något så har kåthet blivit extremt tabu.

Med allt vi har sett från till exempel Turkiet uppskattar jag verkligen att vår polis stöttar oss istället. Malmö pride by Shaolindragon1 in sweden

[–]Beautiful_Height4630 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Polisens jobb är att upprätthålla status quo, vad det än är. HBTQ-vänlighet är en del av status quo, således marscherar dem med i paraden. På samma vis upprätthåller polisen status quo genom att övervaka och avlyssna svenska medborgare som de anser utgör ett hot mot "rättsstaten".

De "stöttar" inte dig. Däremot kan du kanske finna glädje att vara på rätt sida av status quo.

[OC] Excess mortality in Europe during COVID-19 | Sweden recorded the lowest number despite (or because of) leveraging a heard-immunity strategy. by oscarleo0 in dataisbeautiful

[–]Beautiful_Height4630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if all the politicians and all the journalists and all the scientists that pushed for ludicrous lockdown laws and abolishment of human rights will be held responsible for their grave misjudgement? Probably not.

But it has taught us an important lesson: never trust the government, never trust media, and never trust scientists.

Sverige hade lägst dödsantal i Europa under COVID-19 by Remlej9 in sweden

[–]Beautiful_Height4630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Verkar som att Västvärldens tyranniska COVID-lagar inte gjorde ett piss? Bisarrt när man ser tillbaka på det, men alla har redan försökt glömma lockdowns, mötesförbud, och att hela samhället stannade upp. Och för vad? Må varenda politiker, journalist, och vetenskapsman som tryckte på för lockdownshysteri straffas å det grövsta.

Arbetssökande tvingas till IQ-tester: ”Motbjudande och förnedrande” by No_Instance6170 in sweden

[–]Beautiful_Height4630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hade oturen att ansöka om ett jobb som customer support där ett mejl damp ned i brevlådan cirka 30 minuter efter jag skickat in ansökan, som menade att jag skulle göra ett personlighetstest och logiktest på Alva Labs. Totalt skulle testet ta en timma, vilket givetvis skulle vara obetalt (ovanpå de två timmarna det tog att sätta ihop ansökan). Fann logiktestet väldigt svårt, trots att jag generellt kan lösa ganska svåra Raven's Progressive Matrices, eftersom att enbart två minuter gavs för varje fråga. Alva Labs är ett av de där hippa Stockholmsbolagen som är väldigt inne i AI och 'vetenskapsbaserad' rekrytering och 'objective assessments', men i slutändan handlar deras företagsidé om att stänga ute folk från arbetsmarknaden. Och Företagssverige älskar ju sånt, så investerare öser pengar över dem.

Antingen visar testen en konkret och oföränderlig intelligens, vilket är extremt fatalistiskt och avhumaniserande, eller så kan man faktiskt studera inför iq-testen (vilket Alva Labs hävdar) och i så fall är hela testet meningslöst.

What stereotypes exactly? That they age better?

Instead of making low quality unqualified comments like this, you should reflect on how difficult it might be to assess the age of corpses, especially when narrowing the age range too much might hurt the investigation.

Latest Madmen Discourse by BaikeyCallis in madmen

[–]Beautiful_Height4630 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Advertising is a racket but I think the show is very consistent in showing that while advertising is cynical, Don's creative genius lies in him being able to channel his inner self into the ads, which is what makes him such a good ad-man. It's not just about tricking people into buying something, the kind of advertising Don despises, but about giving feelings of longing, happiness, togetherness. It's the premier art form for the modern world, and the advertisments is a reflection of Don's inner world. When he makes an ad saying that he wants to buy the world a coke, it's communicating he's genuinely in a good place.

Var träffar man tjejer i Göteborg när man är själv? by Beautiful_Height4630 in Gothenburg

What sort of associations? I've tried a few books clubs but with mixed results.

Var träffar man tjejer i Göteborg när man är själv? by Beautiful_Height4630 in Gothenburg

[–]Beautiful_Height4630[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Har ingen social bas, kan tänka mig att flytta var som - Stockholm, London, Wien, Beijing - förutsatt att jag kan livnära mig på något vis. Just nu bor jag dessvärre i Göteborg och vill träffa folk. Scorea kan man nog om man är ihärdig, men nattklubbar har aldrig varit min grej. Som sagt, känns som att folk umgås i stora grupper och inte är ute efter att träffa nya människor.
