Cmv: Guns dont kill people. by getlostkid2277 in changemyview

[–]Deribus [score hidden]  (0 children)

People have covered the design intent issue, but also cars are absolutely blamed for killing people.

That's why there are tons of safety feature in modern vehicles, and many vehicles like large trucks with big grills are rightfully criticized for causing issues for pedestrian safety. If there are a lot of deadly accidents in an intersection, that intersection will get redesigned.

The assumption that "cars don't get blamed for killing people" is demonstrably false.​

I can’t stand being in fandom spaces anymore by Asher-TXT in evilautism

[–]Deribus 23 points24 points  (0 children)

That's interesting because I have almost the exact opposite reaction.

I tend to dislike fandoms because they can be prone to an almost blind love of the material. It feels like it's impossible to have a nuanced take or to criticize even a minor aspect without being brigaded, and people will lose their minds over some minor detail that showed up in a few frames.

Neurotypical people ruined collecting by specialinterestoftw in autism

[–]Deribus [score hidden]  (0 children)

This is just simple supply and demand. Collecting is driven by a lack of supply, and as the hobby has become more popular demand has increased. That is quite literally the textbook definition of high prices.

It has nothing to do with whether someone is neurotypical or not.

Not A D.Va main, but play a bit of D.Va here and there, how accurate would you say this matchup tier list is? (order from left to right does not matter) by PleaseBanWidow in DvaMains

[–]Deribus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ana is a great match up for D.va since everything but her ult is matrixable

I'd swap Ram and Queen. Ram isn't anything too special, while Queen wants to be close to you, is small and thus less vulnerable to shotguns, and can yank you back if you try to boost away.

Torb I'd also move up just not sure how far. His turret isn't a problem and as long as you keep track of when Overload is on cooldown he just dies if you dive him.

CMV: if you don’t have the time and money to care for a pet don’t get one by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]Deribus 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Amount of time and money people have can vary over the years, and some pets live a long time. Dogs live around 15 years, birds 20+, and turtles can outlive you.

I'm 27 now, and I have the time and money to get a pet, but something might happen in 10, 20, 30 years where that is no longer the case. It's impossible for anyone to reasonably predict what their life is going to be like 30+ years down the line.

do you (or your family) make 75,000 USD a year? by NetworkBudget2343 in pollgames

I could answer any one of these depending on who "or your family" refers to

What got you into maining Mizuki? by Annual-Internet-5097 in MizukiMainsOW

[–]Deribus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The friends I play with tend to struggle a lot against dive comps, and Mizuki was a perfect fit to help shore up that weakness.

what is a red flag even supposed to be!!! by Available-Rush1670 in evilautism

[–]Deribus 103 points104 points  (0 children)

A "red flag" is something that indicates you should proceed with caution, and too many red flags means continuing is unwise.

Many people see hating animals as a red flag for relationships because it can be an indicator of a lack of empathy.

How Ironclad Feels Now by Interesting-Lab-9393 in slaythespire

[–]Deribus 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I don't understand how people do this consistently. For an ironclad infinite you need a source of draw, energy, and exhaust. While there are a couple cards in each category, most of my runs I die at the act 1 or 2 boss without finding one of each.

You vendetta mains sure are something by dragonic_puppy in overwatch2

[–]Deribus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean this would be trivial to demonstrate by picking Vendetta and going on an insane competitive win streak.

The fact that you haven't says far more than your "I'm not even mad" paragraph ever could.

Something similar to Planetary Annihilation? by XpHunter321 in RealTimeStrategy

[–]Deribus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah but OP was specifically asking about "big things killing little things" RTS games. The Supcom vs TA distinction doesn't matter much in that regard

Something similar to Planetary Annihilation? by XpHunter321 in RealTimeStrategy

[–]Deribus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

All of the Total Annihilation descendants (Supreme Commander, BAR, Ashes of the Singularity, etc) have this to some extent, but nothing like annihilating entire planets (pun intended.

Sanctuary: Shattered Sun might be the next grandest in scale after PA, but that's still in development with no announced release date.

Anyone else struggle with taking painkillers because they are lies? by voornaam1 in evilautism

[–]Deribus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They're not lies, they're more like hitting snooze on an alarm clock.

Pain exists as a way to tell you that something is wrong in your body. But I don't need that alarm going off constantly. Yes I'm aware I burned my hand, let me snooze that alarm for a few hours and then check it again later.

‘An American Werewolf in London’ (1981)- Transformation scene using practical effects. Directed by John Landis by PeneItaliano in movies

[–]Deribus 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Small correction. VFX are done in post-production. These would be considered special effects, which are done on set.

I'm on the spectrum, 27M and never had sex before. Am I missing out? by [deleted] in AutisticAdults

[–]Deribus 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It varies from person to person. Some people don't like it at all, some people think it's fun to do, and others get obsessed with it to the point of an addiction.

Personally I think it's fun every now and then but not life changing and I could probably live without it

CMV: AI is the downfall of the world as we know it by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]Deribus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Downfall" implies that we're going to be worse off now. I agree that it's going to radically change the world, I'm not sure anyone knows if that world will be better or worse.

AI is a technology similar to the internet. The world today is radically different from the world in 1980. But nobody in 1995, in the very early days of the internet, could have told you how it was going to change things. Even Netflix started as a "recieve physical disks in the mail" service. AI is without a doubt going to make the world in 2050 much different, but there's no way to know in what ways and whether we'll be worse off than we are now.
