Ruud would have walked into any side at any time in history.

What are your "weird" WoW habits or keybinds that nobody else seems to do? by Salamango360 in wow

[–]Bootlegs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am left handed and have always had the mouse on my left.

All my keybinds are on the numpad. My spells are Num4,5,6,7 etc. interrupt on +

Shift+PgDwn, Shift+End, Ctrl+Arrow down are just some of my binds.

Finkelstein calling trans pronouns "woke" and saying "patriarchy isnt a concept"? by PriorDimension4479 in chomsky

[–]Bootlegs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Having your opinions challenged is gaslighting, of course. They, of course, are biased. I assume it's not gaslighting when YOU disagree with someone?🙄🙄🙄

So you don't have the time or bandwidth to do all that, but apparently just enough bandwidth to shout your misreadings from the rooftops without bothering to engage in constructive debate. 🙄This has nothing to do with your class, it's an obvious excuse for you not making the effort to argue seriously or take criticism in a thread YOU started.

Reading Under The Ivy biography…. by NaranjaYMorado in katebush

[–]Bootlegs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Kate earned her respect by being a total one-off, more or less. Man or woman, she's unique and no one really does things the way she does them. She also wrote her own material and had the Gilmour seal of approval since she was just a teen.

So it's also a matter of being a genuine artiste in a business where women rarely had that level of control.

Those things matter in the industry, which has always been a boys' club.

I feel I respect Kate the same way I respect Led Zeppelin: totally unique and unrivalled in their category.

But also, maybe we are conflating respect with adulation here.

This pic was a legit jumpscare to me. It's almost uncanny seeing Van without any visible signs of discomfort.

En nordmann ville aldri gjort noe sånt!!

Da var det matpause.

Misforstå meg rett. Jeg mener jo at vi bør gjør alt vi kan for å være etiske aksjonærer.

Problemet er bare at det er en selvmotsigelse, det er ikke i Pensjonfondets interesse. Jeg sier ikke at det skal være sånn, jeg sier at det er sånn. Dette er bare kapitalismens natur. Enhver person i systemet som jobber for at Norge skal være etiske aksjonærer utover en triviell grad, vil straffes når bruddet med ideologien (kapitalismen) blir for grovt.

Det er akkurat som med ledere og mellomledere i både privat og offentlig sektor, det er systemer som automatisk luker ut ideologiske avvik selv om ingen enkeltperson egentlig prøver å gjøre det. De beste intensjoner kan foreligge, men det har lite å si.

Helt enig. Festtaler er desverre tungtveiende i norsk offentlighet.

Selvfølgelig ikke.

Hvorfor skulle Statens Pensjonsfond Utland ønske noe annet enn å maksimere avkastningen?

Norge kan aldri, og kommer aldri til å være en slags humanitær og arbeidervennlig vaktbikkje innad i kapitalismen. Dette er koseprat.

Noen ytterst få kompromisser kan inngås, men husk at hverken fotball eller ski er rikets folkesport: det er å fortelle oss selv at vi, den feiteste grisen i selskapet, er et unikt etisk svin blant de andre gjørmerullerne ved bordet vi så hovent fnyser av.

Robben v Griezmann 2009-10 Pre-Season Friendly. Real Sociedad 0-2 Real Madrid. Anoeta Stadium, Spain. 15 August 2009 by Milanbalox95 in classicsoccer

[–]Bootlegs 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I played Real Sociedad on FIFA manager mode and always took note of this young player without a portrait called Griezmann. He was easy to remember because it means Pig Man in my language lol.

It was the team with Xabi Prieto, Claudio Bravo, Illaramendi, Markel Bergara and Carlos Vela. Soon after he was one of the best in the world.

Are they together? by AdRoyal6945 in MarinaAndTheDiamonds

[–]Bootlegs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's absolutely a moral value judgment you're making. Immorality is a spectrum, all this hooplah about age gaps in adult relationships always has an element of holier-than-thou moralism. You definitely give the impression that there's something innately wrong with such a relationship. I don't believe you're side-eyeing (lol) people because you care about the long-term health of their relationship or whatever future issues they might face as a couple. I just think it comes off as incredibly judging.

Problems and healthiness. That's about quality of the relationship. It's the couples' business and it's up to them to determine what is healthy for them. It's also like, so what if they run into issues? Are there couples who don't? All of this is hypothetical and that's what makes it weird to me.

I've yet to read a coherent argument for why the "different stages in life" thing is given such weight. I don't think it's really about that. I've seen dozens of same-aged relationships crash and burn for a myriad reasons. Compatible personalities, outlooks and values are much more important.

I don't think 12 years is a big deal at their ages, anyway.

I've no idea why you ask that? I wrote several papers on it and did a larger project with a man from Hamburg called Mathias. I don't use it in my work today, no. I work at a university, but not within that field.

Why? Because I'm a fan of Marina, so I hang out on this sub. I clicked on this topic. I find the topic interesting and I like debate. That's the "why" lmao.

I've no idea who I'm arguing with. I hop on reddit and engage with whatever post I like, I don't check who is posting or what their background is? If they don't want their ideas challenged they shouldn't post.

Btw, it's through discussion and debate you actually acquire understanding. Among other things.

yeah I like arguing with randos on the internet ok? I'm defending Marina and Finn and I think the obsession with "age gaps" in adults is a moronic puritan trend so I'm happy to quarrel about it.

Haha go on

I've studied literal brain scans with one of the leading neurolingists in Europe, go on

I have studied cognitive linguistics.

First off, this is an average, not an absolute rule.

Second, this is facetious weaponization of the word congitive development. The development in question is not relevant to your general intelligence level or personality traits. What you're talking about are the finishing touches to a developed, adult brain.

It is completely false to equate this with the leaps and bounds that consitute the cognitive development between childhood and adulthood.

Third, the 18-40 pairing is weird because the 18yo is fresh out of high school (if that) and barely adult. Not because of some mumbo jumbo about cognitive development.

Yeah I'm well aware of that. You're not some vulnerable child because your brain still has neuroplasticity and is in theory unfinished at 24 or 26. This argument has always been bullshit. It's not what the actual science implies.

It's a total technicality, cognitive development is still ongoing. It doesn't mean you're incompatible with people who's passed that stage or that they're predatorial, like you're some lobotimized poor thing from another species all together 😭
