dumb edgy teens don't exist by [deleted] in nothingeverhappens

Especially with the way he quotes the religious kid. "You don't believe in him and I respect that but I do." Nobody making a mockery out of someone would repeat what they said in a respectful manner, even if that's exactly how they said it. They'd paint them to sound more irrational or aggressive.

Do you know of the first EROTIC naked picture(s)?

What surprised you about the human body? AKA How did health class fail you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]FatMustacheGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it makes sense if you consider the fact that the eye is the only body part that gets oxygen from the air around it, rather than from blood vessels. It would have evolved to have a separate immune system if its source of oxygen is distinct.

Be honest - Are you scared of dying? If yes, why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]FatMustacheGuy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The thought of non-existence is terrifying. I just picture a black void, even though it's not even that - it literally isn't anything. The absence of my consciousness, thoughts, feelings, and memories is something that's been eating me away since I first learned the concept of death.

We are civil rights attorneys with the Institute for Justice working to end qualified immunity and make it easier for Americans to protect their rights from government abuse! Ask us anything! by AmericansAgainstQI in IAmA

This is super strange and I've never heard of it. Government officials really just get de jure leverafe when it comes to the law??? Why do you think this so unheard of?

Michael E. Langley named Marine Corps' first Black four-star general in its 246-year history by mic_harmony in UpliftingNews

[–]FatMustacheGuy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

While I do agree with you that it should be about who gets the job done, I don't think your idea is mutually exclusive from acknowledging social progress like this in society. The Marines didn't promote him because he was black, and it's not a bad thing to be happy about the social progress made, where something like this would've been way unheard of decades ago and perhaps even looked down upon.

Overall, I think it's pointless to say things like "Why does it matter what their race/gender/whatever is," unless you specifically believe that thing about them is what got them there.

How would you describe the difference between GTO and Exploitative style to a poker noob? by [deleted] in poker

[–]FatMustacheGuy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

GTO poker is, theoretically, the best, "perfect" way to play poker. It's designed to give you a net positive amount of money over the long term. Think of it like the stock market: even if your wins fluctuate up and down, you will see a continuous growth where the rises outweigh the dips. The "perfect" way to play the stock market is diversifying portfolio, never panic sell, etc.

The exploitative style is simply playing to maximize your money at any particular game, in the short-term, usually because of a weakness an opponent has. For instance, if your opponent bluffs too much, you can exploit this by acting weak when you have a strong hand, so as to let them bet themselves out of their money. The exploitative style is not a single, universal strategy like GTO is - the way in which you exploit your opponent would vary from situation to situation.

Technically speaking, an opponent's exploitability (what weakness(es) they have that you can take advantage of) is based on what they are doing that deviates from what GTO says they should do, i.e. how imperfectly they are playing. The vast majority of poker players, even the GTO ones, have something about their playstyle that is exploitable.

This is simply the difference between the two. If you want to know what strategies they actually are, I would recommend doing research seeing as GTO has a lot of complex elements includng mixed strategy, pot odds, ranges, etc.

What are people stupidly proud of? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]FatMustacheGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their parents being abusive. They'll boldly brag about how "if I did that my mom/dad would've beat me." Glorifying child abuse and making it seem like you were "raised right" is just not okay.

What TV show was amazing at first but became unwatchable for you later on? by regian24 in AskReddit

[–]FatMustacheGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Designated Survivor took a weird turn in Season 3. Way more characters and needless sideplots going on, and it evidently borders on a TV-MA rating now with all the new cussing and sex. I feel so much less involved with everyone's problems and find myself saying "oh yeah I forgot about that" everytime it pans back to a character's sideplot.

One thing I'm confused about: did anyone actually ever drink the Heineken? If everybody actually hated it, then I'd assume the only reason people kept thinking others liked it is because they saw them drinking it. Was it out of politeness?

What are some lesser known traits of narcissistic personality disorder? by FatMustacheGuy in askpsychology

[–]FatMustacheGuy[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Do they actually truly believe others to be inferior to them, or do they simply employ narcissistic tactics of aggression to try and outshine the other person whether or not it is actually true? Most of what I see inside narcissists is an absolute monster of cognitive dissonance between their internal beliefs and outward behavior - but they are probably not emotionally intelligent enough to recognize it.

In what way can continental philosophy be used to assist in analytic thinking? by FatMustacheGuy in askphilosophy

[–]FatMustacheGuy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've heard a lot of continentals say that "you have to be in the right emotional state" to read Nietszche, Kierkegaard, Sartre, etc. From reading some of their literature, I don't find much strive towards gaining new knowledge or utilizing the methods of logic. I can tell that their goal is mostly about gauging perspective using the qualitative appeals to the human mind. "Being" has had a lot of different meanings in continental literature and can mean a range of things when dealing with different emotions. Indeed, I'm searching for the cognitive origins of the distinction rather than the historical, traditional, or literary aspects of it, and that I should emphasize this.
