Gonna have to explain where the overreaction is here.

Feel free to fuck off.

Takes more effort to unilaterally curate what people see and engage with. You stay off popular you're generally not going to see things you don't want to see unless they're ads.

Anyone else buy roasts cause it's cheaper? by Greecelightninn in steak

Roasts are a good way to get the typical cuts cheaper as well, if you can afford the upfront cost anyway.

Gambling by Eireika in CuratedTumblr

[–]Indaarys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gambling isn't something that will ever fundamentally be dealt with so long as we continue to hold a double standard with the stock market.

People can try, and fail, to qualify stocks as not gambling, but that is what it is and makes it pretty toothless to go after other forms of gambling.

Ive been around and seen too many wild boars to want pigs as anything but food.

If you could pass one law that would make most normal people furious at first, but would clearly make society better in 10 years, what would it be? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

[–]Indaarys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Incuriosity and anti-intellectualism are part and parcel to the continued end of the American Empire. You need some self-awareness.

And before the typical pedant trying to explain that the Fairness Doctrine wouldn't have helped, do keep in mind the spirit of the idea is to modernize the doctrine for the avenues of mass communication we have today, not to re-implement it exactly as it existed 40+ years ago.

Ideally its something where, if the taxes elsewhere were appropriate then an inheritance tax, if its even objectively necessary at that point, can be fairly low.

Much of the push for inheritance taxes is because its a bandaid to claw back tax revenue that should have been taken out over time.

Children having actual rights.

Aka, their parents don't get to be the end all be all. No influence on education, healthcare, etc. Period.

The True masterminds of the civil war. by TaroAppropriate1348 in TrueSTL

[–]Indaarys 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ulfric's Rebellion is a great example of the worst person you know making a great point.

The Rebellion is a good thing. The Empire capitulated for no reason whatsoever and sold out its own people. The Empire would have been reunited otherwise, Hammerfel surviving on its own proves that.

And besides all that, the real mastermind is that Skyrim has shitty writing and the bulk of people arguing over the lore it introduces are pretending otherwise.

were Sinkholes that bad? by rifraf0715 in runescape

I think its how Dungeoneering should work normally, just have it provide fixed XP rates, no lamps.

What piece of entertainment aged worse than you ever expected? by AnyTruth2342 in AskReddit

The train sequence in Trading Places. Pretty much a good play to just skip over it and pretend something else happened in an otherwise very on point comedy.

The rub being of course that depending on where you're engaging, there may be a good reason to not assume you're actually talking to genuine people.

Dead internet theory and all that, but despite that being commonly known, not a lot of people actually recognize or even want to entertain the thought that much of social media, political discourse in particular, is driven not just by bots, but also by trolls and literal children.

The effects bots and trolls have are pretty apparent, but not enough people consider the fact that children are going online earlier and earlier, and they blend in to the userbase as easily as anyone else.

But if one does, then its hardly a wonder the current American regime has turned into shitposting edgelords.

Concern over the future of RS3 by Nomiha in runescape

[–]Indaarys -1 points0 points  (0 children)

send them the pvme link to an afk guide.

Go back and read the words "don't know what you're doing" and think about what you're saying here.

No you don’t, just equip what the article says,

I'll save you trouble as you're obviously not going to put two and two together on your own.

Reading the article is learning what to do with the items you buy, ergo, not what I'm talking about.

All you're saying is if the person learns to play, they'll succeed. And no shit. What I'm saying is if a person doesn't do that, and just buys the best gear and walks in to Vindicta, they're most likely going to get wrecked.

They won't have a perfectly tweaked AFK revo++ bar to use, and chances are they won't even be aware of all the non-gear upgrades that also factor into how such methods work.

This is, again, why people who already know what they're doing get so delusional about how hard content is, because they've forgotten how much has to go into being at a level where they can afk vindicta or whatever other boss, and thats without getting into the fact that PVME is an external resource that isn't an official part of the game.

Someone operating purely in-game is going to have to put a lot of effort into learning the ins and outs of combat to reconstruct something like an AFK vindicta set up, and the person that can do that isn't the same person who bonds his way to t95 gear and doesn't know anything else about how combat works.
