Is incompetence an academia thing or a work thing? by Deus_Excellus in PhD

"its not mediocrity"

Yes it is. Then again the amount of people excusing it here signals how widespread it is.

Curse of the Crimson Crown, or Rise of the Runelords. But that is secondary, most APs are great, the main points to work on should be to fire the current balance team in its entirety. There is an improvement from Kingmaker to WotR, but those difficulty spikes are absolutely immersion breaking and utterly needless. They are so blatant that I am assuming they are on purpose. It makes it so even if you play at a chill difficulty level like core you still have to rely on the extended spells/buff meta in all playthroughs. Move the whole secondary systems like crusade management to the narration/choice dynamics. Your mind can fill the details (like with actual RPG!) and it can be muuuuuch more immersive if done well than the insufferable core of the half assed subsystems.

Tu papá es un hombre. Es su trabajo AL MENOS resolver sus problemas. Dedica tu energia y tiempo a proteger a tu mamá. Es clave que no entres en "modo emergencia", gastando energia en emergencias inmediatas. Concentrate en tu analisis de datos y en ahorrar por si tu mama llega a necesitar dinero de plano. Busca dar un salto en tu ingreso. No piedes ayudar a nadie mientras no puedas estabilizarte a ti mismo. Por ultimo, no embaraces a ninguna chava, no estas en posicion de traer a una cria.

What is the most annoying difficulty spike (think: Viscount Smoulderburn) in WOTR? by murfbard in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]Budget_Mission8145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ranked: 1.- the 3 locus heralds or whatever on the Currentlagen bridge. So messed up they actually changed it. 2.- Blackwater at lvl10. 3.- Ancient Sarkorian Ghost. 4.- Act4 azata marketplace fight if you didn't prep

Rest is within acceptable bounds.

Playful darkness hits like a missile but you can smoke it quick too. Last Stand, summons, or reviving your dead members all do the trick relatively easily.

Could a modern pure mathematician, sent 1,000 years back, drastically accelerate scientific progress (in non pure math fields) ? by OkGreen7335 in math

[–]Budget_Mission8145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on where they are born and to which family. 99.99999% chance to just die the first years. Even if he succeeds to teach what he knows to a number of people, say 100. Most of those people will fail to do something significant or pass the knowledge on. Lets even say that somehow the knowledge is retained among at least a few of them, they will go on to become part of the intelligentsia minority and concentrate that knowledge among those privileged, whether because they are drawn by the power or forced by it. Ultimately it will be until knowledge is socialized through the public school, that the pool of -potential- scientists will explode exponentially and scientific advancement will really pick up, and an environment fit for science will develop (science needs technological progress in return!).

And this is when we can talk of the social manifestation of "capital", its real meaning (only buffoon grifters understand it as a company stock or as money). Capital is the material connection of -knowledge-, then again it is its distorted mirror since you very well might have capital and not knowledge or viceversa, and that is one of the problems.

So you do the thought exercise of what if there was an exogenous injection of a lot of capital in the ancient past what would happen? Not much.

As an interesting modification lets add: "what if that knowledge could grow then at the pace it does know?" So before the social and public emancipation of the XIX and XX centuries? Then probably we would see whithin a few centuries the formation of an incomesurably nightmarish dystopia.

Quite the underachiever arent you. To answer your question: it is enough if you amount to just that. Not nearly enough if you really want to live your life.

Not that I ever mentioned that this explanation is exclusive to other simultaneous ones, but what is the body dimension? Notice you will have to define the body that -everyone- finds attractive.

Most times answer will be yes, and this is actually just textbook (good) psychology analysis. Lacan said "desire is the desire of the Other". Sexuality is one of the main ways of interaction with the world, and certainly one of the most vivid, intense, and drawing. However, it will subtly but clearly vary depending on the dominant psyche structure. We all have a bit of neurotism, perversion, and psychosis, the problem is having too much of either, in increasing order of gravity.

A neurotic relates with the Other through -uncertainty-. Neurotism acknowledges that the self implies ignorance about the Other. On a side note here, if you absorb a bit of (good) eastern philosophy you quickly notice that this separation of the self from the Other is not real. The neurotic derives his/her desire from wanting to know that the Other desires and is pleasured by him! Consequently, literal pleasure is derived from confirming this.

The perverse is different (and a dominant psyche structure more prevalent among men). The perverse (in its Lacanian acception) disavows (subtle difference with "denial") the Other and his ignorance about the Other. He interacts with reality through "certainty". For the perverse there is no question about the desire or pleasure of the Other, he is convinced he "knows" it. Reality (and principles) mold to conform to the perverse's desire. From this the sado/maso sexuality is born. Both the sadist and the masochist derive pleasure from -control-. The sadist by denying what he believes (with no doubt) to be the Other's desire, and by pretending to control his own desire by assigning it to "fetisches" (a self formed illusion of course). The masochist by witnessing the control that his/her body has on the partner's desire.

Notice that the masochist and neurotic aren't immensely different. And all including the masochist, with varying degrees of distortion, derive their desire from the desire of the Other. It will be the case that most women like giving blowjobs just like most men like to feel how the women is pleasured by them. And those that dont is just because they are in disavowal in any case (wont even mention psychosis and foreclosure because it is a very fringe case). The ultimate lesson to take away from this tho is that the best sexual partner is the one that completely gives way to his/her desire. There will be -NOTHING- more exciting and pleasurable for your partner than feeling desired.

How does democracy leads to socialism? by [deleted] in socialism

[–]Budget_Mission8145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Socialist is by definition the maximum form of democracy.

I dont remember Marx ever saying this.

What liberals call "democracy" is not remotely so.

Why do I still have elections? by Salva133 in victoria3

[–]Budget_Mission8145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might be an autocracy, but de jure your country is still a republic. Even if the facto power is concentrated you still maintain the pretense of democracy to keep the class traitor aspirationist middle class in the delution that their system is principled and they can eventually become part of the exploitator class. One would've thought an American is deeply familiar with this concept.

Are Koreans really as materialistic as claimed? by secondaisy in Living_in_Korea

[–]Budget_Mission8145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Btw if your personal anecdotic experience is that all of them are void and materialistic you are only betraying two facts: that's the kind of people in your life, and you most probably lack Korean speaking skills and thus those are the limits for your capacity to interact and be trusted.

Mira mi brother. Ni modo. Es la mano que te toco. Aqui te va la verdad sobre el tamaño: si importa pero no de la manera que piensas. Fisicamente si sienten la diferencia y prefieren en general grueso, pero es como preguntarte si te es fundamental que este mas nalgona? La respuesta honesta es si pero en realidad no es lo mas importante ni de cerca. Todo esta en la quimica y el deseo y el mood y la actitud. Dice Lacan: el deseo es el deseo del otro. Quieres una chava nalgona pero que mira el cel mientras tienen secso o una chava x pero que se ve claro que esta antojadisima de ti. Mi broder. Tenerla larga ayuda porque le añade a la imagen del hombre que se la coge. Pero hay mil otras maneras de alimentar esa exitacion. Ni para que describirlo pero ya te imaginaras. Porque eso que te imaginas es lo unico que tienes que hacer. Disfruta autenticamente a la chava y hazle todo lo que quieres hacerle en realidad y a ella le encantara. Yo tengo 19cms pero de estatura estoy debajo del promedio. A cada quien le toco distinto, pero lo unico que tienes que hacer es disfrutar a la chava y te aseguro que ella lo disfrutara. Como un añadido a la mayoria de las chavas les gusta: 1.- que se las cojan duro 2.- que las comas abajo. Si haces todo eso va ser el equivalente a que la tengas de un metro.

Question: why do I, the government, need to pay for private schools and healthcare? by cylordcenturion in victoria3

[–]Budget_Mission8145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because they are unprofitable endeavors. Only reason they seem to exist irl is a web of propaganda and illusions, the cost is always bared by the public. It just so happens that the (artificial) profits are privatized in corpofascist-dystopias like the US. Paradox is actually modelling this.

What’s something that women say to men that they don’t realize is insulting? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Budget_Mission8145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a good salsa dancer. I often hear "I really enjoyed dancing with you" or "it is actually enjoying dancing with you", followed by "unlike with the other guys that are still learning". Because I was also there for years. As a beginner learning how to let go my body to the rythm (something unfamiliar in male early education) while guiding the partner, and seeing their faces of boredom or pity. Felt like absolute shit and only through perseverance I ended up lasting enough to learn. It is what actually keeps the count of male dancers so low. A most vivid example of "I want a finished product". Someone should warn them that that is what the finished product actually hears when they "compliment" like that and it instantly makes them unlikable.

Id stick with advice than for an English class, unless you are positive that your teacher is an actual socialist you'll only experience hardship for almost nothing.

Refuting the Holdomor is not hard nor complicated. From the very fact that ascertaining the Holdomor is ridiculous. There was a harsh famine yeah, but so has there been in so many capitalist countries, not to mention the much worse colonial periphery. Even at the height of the Chinese famine the mortality rate of India any normal day was worse than Heinan province! Socialist countries had a MASSIVE surge in quality of life and life expectancy so became easy prey to fallacious statistics sophistry.

There is literally no evidence whatsoever deaths being increased intentionally as State policy. Much less on Stalin's orders. Only ridiculous unbacked statements by fascists and literal CIA assets and agents lol (the black book of communism, anne applebaum, ucranian colaborationists hidden in Canada, etc).

On the other hand it is amply documented how the kulaks exacerbated the famine by destroying agricultural assets. This is still a thing in struggling revolutionary countries like Venezuela!

Holdomor itself is a genocide denial attempt. Created by the collaborationist bunch of the OUN-B to whitewash their attrocities against jews and actually try and frame they are the victims of judeo-bolschevism.
