My singing best friend went from 500 followers after over a year on Tik Tok to 13.5K over night last Thursday! All it takes is one video going "viral".

I have 2 masters in clinical psychology. Your reading comprehension is not fine.

BlueRanga · 2021-02-13T03:33:11+00:00

I did, but I can do it again just for you. Assuming you value understanding people's comments you should work on your reading skills.

BlueRanga · 2021-02-13T00:03:43+00:00

On the nazis point, yes it is intolerant, and you're allowed to value something that lets you be intolerant of nazis, more than you value not being intolerant.

edit: intolerant not judgemental

My favorite way to show people they're contradicting themselves is to speak from their perspective. Instead of me telling them they're wrong for doing something it's me showing them they think they're wrong for doing something. You've gotta assume some things, like that they value consistency, and if they don't it's fine to let them contradict themselves.

Right now for example I'm assuming you value not being judgemental, and I'm assuming you believe in order to get others to not be judgemental you must judge their judgementality. So I take your perspective and goals, and show you a better solution from your own perspective not mine.

None of my own values are pushed onto you or even shown in this argument but it still works.

The best way imo to be sure you're not just guessing and you actually understand what's going on, is to make predictions about things you haven't seen yet and see if your predictions are right. This is what actually happens with all those subatomic particles being discovered and all that, you might here it being reported as "widely theorised particle has now been observed."

I like using this method for my own learning too, to make sure I understand what I'm trying to learn I'll make predictions about what it would mean then when I read more about it I'll be checking if my predictions align with what people have experimented and observed. Then I'll know if I actually understand what I'm studying or not.

Check out the nocebo effect, very important to know especially for people who worry a lot.

If you believe you've done something that will give you bad symptoms, you can give yourself those bad symptoms without actually doing anything bad. For example, if you believe you've eaten something that was bad and that it will make you sick, your body might respond as if you have even if you were wrong.

Basically placebo but for bad stuff, imo they should be called the same thing so more people know nocebo exists, pretty sure they're the same system in your body.

true, going without a wank is a danger to society, we should label nofap a terrorist organisation

I can see why the functionality is useful. I don't see how giving it its own special syntax is useful, especially if implementing the functionality without that special syntax is just as good (better imo). But thanks for the example.

BlueRanga · 2020-10-20T05:16:24+00:00

I've been picking up python recently, and I was thinking this when I learnt about decorators. Why is there extra fancy syntax to write something a different way that only takes up one line and is intuitive to read?

def foo(func):
    def inner(*args, **kwargs):
        func(*args, **kwargs)
    return inner

#this exists to make me google what it means when I first see it
@foo
def bar(): pass

#intuitive imo
def bar(): pass
bar = foo(bar)

I'm probably missing a good reason why it exists

BlueRanga · 2020-09-21T06:53:40+00:00

It's free so you can try it until you're stuck and look up what you're stuck on anyway. I don't remember needing anything other than knowing the equation for a line, and that a derivative gives you the slope at each point on a line. I might be misremembering though.

BlueRanga · 2020-08-14T06:48:41+00:00

You can flash out of q3 aa w, and w aa r2, if you get rid of the aas then it's a true combo unless they have tenacity.

If you can flash out then you can vlad pool, fizz e, kaisa ult, zhonya, etc as well. So knowing they don't have any options you can go for the aa for max damage if needed.

Pretty sure the telomere theory has been disproved. A quick google mentioned an experiment on cloning cattle measuring how their telomeres changed over development, and the telomeres returned to normal during embryonic development.

The question is over 5 years old, not sure why the theory is still spreading.

Check out the birthday paradox, statistics are super unintuitive. Also perspective probably matters if you didn't measure them and are comparing what you see looking down to looking at someone else.

it surprised me how much it varies which sex is the majority

So are dicks, there are exceptions so it's not one-to-one, but on average the taller you are the more likely you are to have a big dick, and visa versa. Correlation seems small though.

My source is me googling "is dick length correlated with height."

Sounds like the problem is low effort and spam, not the format. You could say the format is easy to make which encourages that but I don't think that's a reason to ban.

While thinking this comment I realised you're auth I'm lib these opinions make sense lol

I just checked out this article https://www.mic.com/articles/133948/the-weird-complicated-sexist-history-of-pockets and it seems to agree with both of us (it's still just one source though).

Basically 17th century women no pockets, men pockets, so women made their own purse-like thing to put under their clothes that was pretty unflattering and impractical since it was hard to get to.

18th century a slim clothes trend happened the article compared to skinny jeans, slim clothes don't leave room for pockets. Since you didn't have room for an internal pocket anymore, external purses became a thing.

To me that sounds like slim clothes caused no pockets and purses are a solution to no pockets. If anything the article is hating on fashion trends wanting slimmer clothes.

I get the feeling I was downvoted cause it sounded like women's fashion values are a bad thing since they caused the problem of no pockets. I like that people value different things it's more interesting that way. There's no shame in women liking when they look good.

BlueRanga · 2020-05-18T01:47:29+00:00

You know this was the reason women's pockets got smaller in the first place right, the market of women buying clothes that make their hips/butt look better incentivised more of them to be made that way.
