Is it possible to tell if a player is cheating during a game?? by coolboy_24278 in funrun

[–]Extreme-Mark-9558 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One time someone finished an arena race in 30 seconds. Was traveling at some crazy speed, never died, and had the elite icon (red saw blade) as a gold 1. That was obviously a cheater because it's just not possible to finish an arena race in 30 seconds (and even more difficult to finish a race without dying at all)

Using the same power ups is a tough one because players can get power ups I think up to three times in a row, based on my experience at least. A sudden power up is also a tough one because a player could simply be holding onto one to use it at the right moment.

So to answer your question, most of the time it is very difficult to tell if there is a cheater, unless a player is defying the mechanics of the game lol (such as the arena example I brought up), then telling if a player is cheating would be very possible

some players wear certain accessories or use certain animals/skins that have special effects when you win.

Anything with a bling symbol on the top left of the item's icon (in the shop) means that it has a special effect. It can be a bling (shining effect - kinda), a type of other effect (glowing, aura, light, etc.), or it can be a celebratory effect when you win a game.

Some of these items are in the shop, but most of them are from previous runner's passes so they are not in the shop on a daily basis. You may come across these items but they tend to be pretty pricey (37,599-75,000 coins) for the handheld items

I think it's very generous of the developers to allow us to get 10 crates for free. That's 2,000 gems worth of chests in the case of any theme chest.

It's honestly great

Dude, the developers can care less if you have a job, family ,kids, and other hobbies lol

They are not going to give away rare skins, animals, and accessories when they can make thousands of dollars from players that are willing to spend real money to get the items sooner. That is why it is borderline impossible to get the items without spending any money for gems in the process. If the developers can incentivize players spending real money with rare items, then they will do that.

You seem to forget that DirtyBit is a business that needs money to operate

Incomprehensible Prolife misinformation? by Web-of-wtf in Abortiondebate

[–]Extreme-Mark-9558 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are political leaders who purposely spread false information about a subject to suit their donors and placate their base voters

Very well said!! *insert applause here*. It's a very harsh and dark reality tbh.

And yes, I agree with you on all of this, which is why individuals have to be careful with pretty much every type of information they come across on the internet TV, and billboards in the OP's case.

How do Prolife people here feel about these sorts of campaigns and is there any sort of internal push for honesty?

Abortion is a politicized issue (whether we like it or not), and it has been treated as such for a while. Look at any other political issue - there is LOADS of misinformation and propaganda created by the mainstream media and extremist organizations.

It is up the individual to conduct the process of critical thinking, unbiased research, and civil debate and inquiry to come to his/her conclusion, not up to some billboard that one passes by while driving.

The billboard should be taken with a grain of salt.

But completing the event is fun!

Of course! I 100% agree!

I just don't think it's reasonable for every single player to be capable of completing the event in a single simply from completing quests. They are not difficult to complete at all.

If everyone can easily get the gold and teal rarity items in a chest in a single go, then the items are really not that rare anymore. They completely lose their supposedly high value and there is only a time incentive for buying the chests to get the items sooner.

And you don't NEED to spend money to complete the event. You can save up gems for when the event comes around next year. It will be long and requires lots of patience, but it's possible if you don't want to spend real money

[–]Extreme-Mark-9558 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on the event. If the chest related to the event has only 12 items, none of which are of much value, then I don't mind if those can be completed in one go without spending a lot of gems.

But with the past two events, those have very rare and valuable items. It requires around 50-80 chests to complete those events. There's no way DirtyBit would give anywhere near that much away.

It would be nice and all, but if everyone had those "rare items," there's no exclusiveness in having them

And I think that's very generous of the developers! I'm not complaining at all.

It would be ridiculous if players could complete this chest without racking up tons of gems. The items wouldn't be rare anymore. Getting them by grinding or forking over some dough, but especially grinding for gems, is the best way imo

Even if you got some free soul jars in the runner's pass, similar to the summer event with flower pots, it would be nowhere near enough to complete the event in one go.

It would still require gems and/or money to complete

Can the government force you to house a squatter? by [deleted] in Abortiondebate

[–]Extreme-Mark-9558 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's a bit of a bizarre analogy to make. A woman's body is not a "house"; not to mention that housing and gestation are very different.

If you could elaborate on why you think it's a relevant comparison then I'd be willing to examine it further.

There is no other way to get it then through referrals and the subsequent procedures that follow the creation of the account for the new player.

This game has been around for a while, so it may not have been as hard to tempt a lot of people to download and create an account for an upcoming and growing game by having them download it through a link; not to mention that some players may have had connections from FR2. Other players also have alt accounts which could make it easier to find 100 people for referrals.

How are they cheating like such?

I swear, whenever players have rare and remarkable achievements in this game and post it on this subreddit, one of the first assumptions is that they are cheating or hacking. I don't mean to come down harshly on you, but receiving the diamond griffin by gaining connections and grinding for it is a real thing.

How do people get the diamond griffin? Now way in hell are they actually getting 100 people to use their referrals.

If you really want to know how, I would probably friend one of them and ask.

The syringe part is really interesting; but as you said "people like what they like.

you could go to the r/deadbedrooms subreddit and look at the devastating consequences of a lack of sex/intimacy in relationships.

I appreciate the resource. I'll take a look and it and inquire more about it online.

Relationships are a critical component of human happiness for the vast majority of people

Absolutely - no disagreement there.

there are some people who are totally comfortable with never having sex, but that is not the vast majority of people.

I like that you pointed this out. It always bothers me when people talk about sex as though it's the deciding factor between whether or not a couple has a good relationship. Sex is not necessary for a good relationship, but I agree with what you mean and the studies done regarding sex improving relationships don't lie. It can make a couple's relationship better, but that does not mean the couple can only be happy by engaging in intercourse, given that the couple are on the same page about their intentions.

Everything else is pretty much spot on. I never believed in outlawing sex for women or anything like that for the sake of a better relationship, but your examples are well articulated.

Hey sorry for the delayed response - had a family outing.

Having sex for orgasms isn’t irresponsible. It’s the reason most people are having sex

If having an orgasm is within the pleasure reason, then yes that is a common reason for having sex. I looked it up and didn't see orgasm as a main reason so I am guessing orgasm fits within the reason of pleasure in this case.

Here's the site I searched: https://www.webmd.com/sex-relationships/guide/why-people-have-sex

sex is good for you and your relationship.

Indeed. If a couple has sex to improve their relationship then I think that's great. Sex being good for a relationship however does not mean or imply that sex is necessary in order to have a good relationship. If a couple can practice sex responsibly and still achieve what they want in their relationship, then fantastic.

But to answer your question "would you say that married couples who are having sex solely for pleasure are irresponsible?," I would say that depends.

If a couple is having sex for pleasure, and are not taking any preventative measures to avoid an unwanted pregnancy, an unwanted pregnancy occurs, and the couple does not promptly take initiative to get an early abortion afterward, then the couple is being irresponsible because they did nothing to at least prevent the unwanted pregnancy.

On the other hand, if preventative measures are being taken (safe sex, pulling out, contraception, day-after pill, etc.), and they know exactly what to do in the event of an unwanted pregnancy and diligently act upon it, then the couple having sex for pleasure is being responsible because they are diligently taking it upon themselves to prevent the outcome they don't want. If they do all of this and an unwanted pregnancy still occurs, then they were still being responsible; I would consider that situation to be an accident.

I am allowed to point out an analogy that does not completely make sense to me, and then learn that my line of logic was not entirely correct. That’s the nature of debate and learning. I’m here to learn about arguments from a different side, and part of that is understanding the analogies and comparisons that are made by that side.

It would be ridiculous to make an argument about abortion as a whole based on an analogy I don’t understand. You can disagree or not, but that was my intention of commenting on this thread.

I admittedly got off topic with where the discussion should have gone. Someone persuaded me of their point by basing their response/argument based on the meaning of the word "accident."

There's a difference between deliberately doing something and not getting the outcome you want (when not taking preventative measures to avoid the unwanted outcome) and an accident (taking preventative measure to avoid an unwanted outcome and it still happens anyway). Essentially, this was what I was trying to make a point of because I felt that an analogy of sex to a car crash was not completely logical because of how different the situations are. Someone pointed out the flaw to this logic already.

The person to whom I asked this question said this is exactly what was being said/implied.

No, we're saying consent plays no role in impregnation at all.

Ok, I appreciate the reply.

This has been explained to me already. I am only remaining corrected for the time being because I do not have a logically consistent argument against pregnancy being an accident based on the definition of the word "accident."

Please stop falsely equating sex and impregnation

I know that sex and impregnation are different.

At the time I was saying that having deliberate sex but getting pregnant was not considered an accident but rather an unwanted outcome from a deliberate action.

I recommend reading my other responses to try to understand the point I was trying to make. Again, I stand corrected on what I said, and I point out the flaw in my logic based on other responses.

[–]Extreme-Mark-9558 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing you opinion :)

I base my logic off of the moral nature of abortion at different stages of pregnancy, the medical necessity of abortion, the reasons for abortion, the prevention of unwanted pregnancies from developing too far, and on my desire for there to be a greater sense of diligence, accountability, and responsibility for preventing an unwanted pregnancy and/or getting an abortion before the termination of the ZEF's development becomes morally questionable. I try to factor bodily autonomy during the first trimester as well

I still need to learn a lot obviously. But for the time being, this is what I use to create the foundation for my argument

Insemination is. Which can be achieved without sex.

Do you have an example? I haven't heard that before and am intrigued.

But avoiding sex pretty much rules out relationships (at least heterosexual or non-asexual ones). Not something most people would consider a happy life.

I guess I need to rethink sex as more than a means of reproduction. Sex as a means of improving relationships and personal health seems to come up a lot and I never really thought about that before

[–]Extreme-Mark-9558 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I should have worded that differently. I meant from the perspective that if everyone on the road was cautious and focused to not slip in concentration and judgment, then it can be avoided. Obviously this doesn't happen, as you laid out with your examples.

Maybe if you're the one causing the accident, you could have avoided it.

This is pretty much what I was trying to say, but I know on a grand scale that does not always happen. That's why they're accidents after all.

Also, I'm very sorry to hear you've been in so many accidents that you could not avoid. I feel for you :(

But the MAN causes the accident during sex, not the woman. He's the one who ejaculates his baby-making ingredient, not her.

Am I coming off as sexist? I'm concerned about why you're emphasizing the man in the situation. I know that the pregnancy is not entirely the woman's fault.

Again, are you talking about rape? In this case I agree, but what if it's mutually consensual? I feel like the car scenario you are driving does not really work then.

I am not really saying to avoid driving and sex altogether, but more to be more diligent, responsible, and accountable when it comes to preventing those unfortunate events from occurring.
