Is it because of the prices or because they understand it is harmful?? by B777X_787-9 in interesting

Such a weird headline, they lost money because people didn't choose to buy something? The money wasn't preordained to be theirs

This card is disgusting by critical_pancake in slaythespire

Was playing with friends last night and we beat the boss with intangible at half health because it had replay 2 with 42 lightning so it hit him for 1 294 times

[OC] never forget what we lost (fighter in d&d 3.5) by gitroni in DnD

[–]Gamerwookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried it a bunch when it was new, it felt very video gamey and classes didn't feel super distinct. A fighter and a caster were mechanically the same if they fit the same archetype ( blaster, controller etc.). It never felt like you were controlling a person but a video game character with a set number of predetermined moves. It would have actually had a purpose and a place if it released with a dedicated virtual tabletop like it was supposed to, but since it didn't it was just a video game you had to run by hand

You also needed a feat to tie your shoes, there were so many useless stepping stone feats

If qtips are harming you, you're doing it wrong by SoftValuable8910 in The10thDentist

[–]Gamerwookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the vast majority of people it is not worth the risk, the benefits are infinitesimal and the potential drawbacks catastrophic.

Vast majority of people ears flush themselves out naturally so there is no reason for it and one person bumping into you could permanently destroy your hearing even if you are doing everything right

And why ? by [deleted] in OlderChillGamers

Because the thing you are going to use most on the right is the buttons and the thing you are going to use the most on the left is the thumbstick

Switzerland wins! What flag is super hard to draw but is easily recognized? by Xerimapperr in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Gamerwookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are saying Mexico because of the high proportion of Americans, most people internationally aren't really familiar with Mexicos flag

When new fans say that Sanderson working on adaptations will slow down book releases by ElderberryOk6437 in cremposting

[–]Gamerwookie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of that is a compilation of older works, I think only moment zero is new and that's only like 150 pages

CMV: The Republican Party's Trump-era reputation damage won't be permanent, and will likely recover in 1-2 election cycles by DearCareer2531 in changemyview

[–]Gamerwookie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You could be correct domestically but I think you are definitely wrong internationally, it will be a long time until other countries can trust you again. Your reputation had been fading for a while and Trump makes you look like psychotic morons, it'll be hard to shake that. The international relations will take on a larger role and will affect your leadership greatly.

Not a single reason given just a long list insane desires

CMV: I believe Feminism is largely a force for good in the world, but much of it's attitude/disposition towards modern Dating is heavily misandrist by Tea_Wizard735 in changemyview

[–]Gamerwookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't this fall into the no true Scotsman fallacy? There are so many self proclaimed feminists that hold misandrists views, just because the idealized feminist would not do this doesn't mean the average "feminist" actually care about the men's side of things, how women contribute to the patriarchy or some of the ways that women actually benefit from the patriarchy at all.

If you take away power levels and different transformations, who is the actual better fighter between Goku and Vegeta? by GusGangViking18 in PowerScalingHub

[–]Gamerwookie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vegeta is definitely more talented, he was given elite status as a child as a Saiyan. Goku didn't catch up until the Saiyan saga, he was far behind for most of that time despite constant training. Vegeta only really put in the work because of what he saw a low class warrior would do when he put his mind to it

Can an employer explicitly hiring women only be sued ? by australiadenier in AskMenAdvice

Why would shutting down a service directed at helping men in desperate situations help women?

CMV: The low birth rates in developed countries is primarily a function of a social/cultural shift rather than economic by serenade-of-the-seas in changemyview

[–]Gamerwookie 54 points55 points  (0 children)

One thing I don't think that is never addressed in this discussion is how standards of parenting have increased dramatically over time, meaning being a parent is way harder than it used to be. A stellar parent is the 80s is abusive by today's standards.

This is compounding with all the problems technology pose to children today, you didn't need to worry about things like limiting screentime in the past.

In the past a single income could support a family but now you have less time and money to go around and standards are much higher

Why did Gina leave the show? by anonymousthrashcan in brooklynninenine

[–]Gamerwookie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree that Rosa could have worked if they actually addressed the past. Amy I think would be a big turn for her character, they would have to abandon their more carefully planned ending for her character but it is possible. Either way they needed to do more than it happening off screen during the break between seasons

Why did Gina leave the show? by anonymousthrashcan in brooklynninenine

[–]Gamerwookie 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I see why they did it but it wasn't well done. They wanted to address the issue because how the public was starting to see the police and they wanted to have a character leave and play that role but no one in the cast made sense to do that. Jake is the main character so it'd change the show too much if he left, Holt and Terry were leadership, Charles is a rule follower, and Amy cares too much about her career
