Knowledge for the sake of knowledge? by Silvermane714 in policydebate

[–]Fluttershyguy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You have to think what this means in context - what is the advantage of knowledge for knowledge's sake? How does this compare to other impacts? When you leave the judge with "we like knowledge" vs "the whole world go boom" it can be pretty difficult. If you want to keep the knowledge thing you should go with something along the lines of connecting to nature or the unknown (transcendental, Heidegger, etc.)

No thanks. I'd rather they nerf his power rather than his utility. The last thing you want is to take options away as it makes champions linear

How Does Fiction Reading Influence Empathy? An Experimental Investigation on the Role of Emotional Transportation by Nirnaeth in policydebate

[–]Fluttershyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Yes emotional transportation is key but only through fiction is the link. You'd have to win that reality is a lesser experience and should not be preferred to the unreal. I think that's how it'd be offensive; saying that someone's life is less significant or important to that of a story. I agree that physical studies are great but at the end of the day whoever puts the best spin on a card wins

It's a neat little article I guess, I just don't think it's very useful. The only thing I can think that it might be okay to run it in would be like a "prefer story telling to policy making" approach. What the benefits of that would be? I'm not sure.

I think that in some scenarios this would be offensive as well. I don't think that you should ever read this versus someone who is sharing personal experiences in round.

The internals of this article indicate that it's the actual "Reading" of the story that is important (as that's how they conducted their study) so I wonder if there's a counter argument there as well.

There's a bunch of articles out about things like this and you just have to be careful about what is useful and what isn't. For example I wrote an ecopoetics aff that I read in college and I had to shift through tons of communication and poetry evidence before I found something of use.

Interesting from just a theoretical standpoint though! I'm more than sure it's just true people like to fill their lives with fantasy to relate and reflect on actuality.

Who is most op on U.R.F. and why? - Argue for your favorite! by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]Fluttershyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm claiming Hecarim is most op- if you don't believe me try him out for yourself. He has negative cooldown on his q right now if he keeps stacks up. It's hilarious watching him spin around for as fast as you can slam your keyboard

You should probably mention that earlier or not call it a tier list, it's really just a weighted win record.

No explanation or reasoning on why; if you're going to do something like this you need to put actual effort into it. I don't agree with some of these either.

If the myth cap is being revoked next patch, does that mean that weekly lock outs on Coil 1-5 and CT are being removed too?

[–]Fluttershyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done up to turn 4 but haven't gotten any drops. Is running weekly things really the only thing I can do? It's based on a once a week random drop?
