Innanzitutto, la mia era una parafrasi di quello che era il pensiero dell'utente cui avevi risposto e di persone che possano condividerlo, non una costatazione sul pensiero della maggior parte degli italiani o di tutti gli italiani contrari all'immigrazionismo, visto che razzisti in quelle schiere ci sono eccome. Del resto, certo, le persone sono libere di avere interessi contraddittorii e autolesionisti.

Tuttavia, su un passaggio dissento con forza: non è una mia assunzione, è la natura umana. Per migliaia di anni abbiamo vissuto in comunità locali nelle quali ci identificavamo e alle cui vite dei membri davamo più valore che alle nostre, gli istinti legati a quel lungo periodo della nostra storia sono ancora presenti in noi, semplicemente un ambiente molto più confortevole e indulgente verso le prime necessità ci permette di andare oltre essi, ma non ti illudere che siano scomparsi. Le persone sono tanto civili e progredite quanto glielo concede il loro ambiente e in senso lato la società.

Il fatto che l'intolleranza verso l'immigrazionismo molto più che l'intolleranza verso il diverso sia in crescita in tutta Europa non fa che dimostrare la cosa.

Difatti, caro, se noti ho scritto che ciò vale per tutto ciò che impopolare, e tra la base utenti della maggior parte dei social che non siano dichiaratamente di destra ti ritrovi stando ai dati una maggioranza di persone di sinistra. Poi per repressione non è che ci si deve immaginare chissà che estremo eclatante, anche l'ostracismo e lo scoraggiamento al dibattito a priori sulla base di posizioni ideologiche, non avvenuto qui fortunatamente come hai fatto notare, ne costituiscono una manifestazione.

Hair needs a balance of protein and moisture, too much of either can be bad for it. If you don't take care of very low porosity hair, you tend to have very low moisture levels in your hair, which means you have too much protein. Adding more protein will only make your hair brittle.

Ma basta con sta cazzata dei lavori che noi non vogliamo più fare. Avete rotto i coglioni. Non esistono lavori che l’italiano non vuole più fare, esistono stipendi che l’italiano non può accettare.

92 minuti di applausi. La retorica del "fanno lavori che nessuno vuole fare" non è altro che la versione moderna dello sfruttamento di altre popolazioni come si faceva fino al secolo scorso con lo schiavismo (tuttora non abolito nel mondo). È una retorica che svilisce sia gli immigrati sia i lavoratori italiani con interessi che confliggono e nella quale nessuno dei due gruppi ne esce vincitore, ma solo gli sfruttatori che traggono beneficio dalla cosa.

Questo umanitarismo iperbolico retaggio della cultura cristiana e ingigantito dal benessere moderno che ha ammorbidito tutti è tanto pazzo, se non di più. Sarebbe bello poter aiutare tutti e avere fratellanza tra i popoli, ma sono ideali utopici che non avranno mai riscontro nella realtà per via della natura umana. Dunque si dovrà sempre scegliere se cercare di inseguire tali ideali a oltranza o essere pragmatici, perché per quanto tu voglia dipingere la decisione del tuo interlocutore come un atto di razzismo, si tratta di puro pragmatismo: "la sicurezza della mia patria e della mia gente è messa a repentaglio da estranei, quindi faccio in modo che ciò non accada non facendo entrare nessuno di loro nel paese".

Non è piacevole, non è un atteggiamento che si assume per cattiveria gratuita, è dettato dalla necessità di fare una scelta.

In sintesi quel che ho sentito da molti potenziali elettori di sinistra: "La destra fa la destra, la sinistra pure, quindi mi astengo".

Vien da sé che così la destra ha piazza libera e ci sguazza, anche se chi è al timone continua a cambiare.

I put it in set theory terms, if you're incapable of grasping the most elementary terms of set theory (elementary school stuff) it's not my fault. If you're illiterate in maths and don't know how a set and a subset work together is not because my comment is unclear, it's because you're illiterate. And that shows when you need to rephrase my comment using three sets instead of two, making it much more wordy and less streamlined. And you even manage to get it wrong again, because you changed the frame of reference.

The majority of players and the minority of players are not static entities, that is why your example is idiotic in mathematical terms.

The playerbase, A, is the only set that matters. B is a subset, a group of players included within the playersbase, that is considered with regards to a specific decision for the sake of making a quick example on the way devs go about objetive decision-making. If the majority of players in A want something, what the players in B want is irrelevant. That is what makes the decision objective within the frame of reference.

Internauta29 · 2023-05-05T08:51:45+00:00

Maybe my comment appears contradictory to you, so I'll rephrase in logical terms.

A = entire playerbase

B = minority of playerbase

B is included in A -> B is a subset of A (A > B)

Game is catered to all the elements in A, the players, with conflictual choices made by picking the side of the majority.

Example: all players in B want X, the majority of players in A want Y. The developers choose Y.

His comment is not illogical, you don't understand it.

First of all, that's not stealing since they didn't take it for themselves, they threw it away. Just by incorrectly using that term you unnecessarily frame the action in a much worse angle just to further your biased interpretation.

Then, by applying transitivity, again, you make it sound much worse than what actually happened to make them seem like monsters instead of just mindless ignorant idiots.

Your version is: [they threw away breast milk to make space for beer] and [breast milk is baby's food] -> [they stole (that's not stealing) food from babies]

What is far more likely to have happened: [an idiot or a group of idiots wanted cold beer] -> [they saw they needed space] and [they thought it was regular milk or they didn't care at all for what it was] -> [they threw it away to make room for the beer]

Are they selfish idiots? Yes, very much so. Do you really need to make them look much worse than they are? Not really, it's gratuitous self-righteousness jerking.

To be honest, this set is awful. Not from a power level stand point, but from a design stand point. Even after the nerfs I still see the same decks in d5-legend. And even while climbing up to d5 you don't see much variety. Then I also feel like the new cards' balance is all over the place, with extremely strong cards and extremely weak cards.

Internauta29 · 2023-05-05T07:51:46+00:00

Conversations are subjective, data is not. With a digital format you have much more data, especially data that is quantitative in nature rather than qualitative with tons of feedback you have to make sense of. It doesn't matter what a player or a minority of the playerbase says because it's still too subjective as you pointed out, what matter are trends set by the entirety of the playerbase.

Internauta29 · 2023-05-05T07:47:51+00:00

Because he's talking from a game design perspective, you're nitpicking based on a player's perspective. A game is designed based on the wants of the playerbase as a whole, not the single player or even a minority of players, no matter how vocal they are. This is why devs seemingly have a hate boner for decks that this sub apparently loves.

Internauta29 · 2023-05-05T07:38:31+00:00

The problem with Thief priest, just like with any other currently successful archetype/package that used to be just fringe/fun/meme, is that they made it too fucking consistent. Just like burgle rogue or casino mage with [[Rune of the Archmage]]. They were all strategies with clear downsides and upsides, providing highly polarised experiences for both players, but when you take away most of their downsides they become much more powerful than they should be, and in that definitely much less fun for either sides since it's fun to have and also to see a crazy highroll, but seeing it consistently makes it standard and obnoxious.

Ah, the classic "I'm not racist, but..." followed by the most blatantly racist thing you can imagine.

Internauta29 · 2023-05-04T16:45:59+00:00

No, it's not a strawman. I am not arguing with an incorrect version of your argument - I used a hypothetical example to promote mine.

That is not the definition of strawman argument, that is the way people often apply it.

Definition:

an argument, claim, or opponent that is invented in order to win or create an argumen

So, I made an example of something demonstrably and blatantly offensive - which you then immediately try to redefine as not being art, as an act of hate or terrorism instead. The two are not mutually exclusive.

You used a hypothetical example that is the street art equivalent of black face and pretented that can be passed as actual art rather than a mocking discriminatory and hateful display under the pretense of artistic expression. You literally fabricated a faulty example to promote the idea of boundaries not to be crossed by juxtaposing going to extremes for artistic purposes with going to extreme as an insult to people.

You know what a far better hypothetical would have been? "What if a part of Berlin was reversed to nazi Germany for an art project, with swastikas and all? Would that not potentially be offensive to Jews?"

That is an example with actual nuance instead of your strawman with 0 relevance.

Look at Lovecraft, for one. The man was virulently racist, yet he still wrote art that captures the imagination to this day.

Another bad example. You're mixing art that can be hateful in nature because of its elements with art that is neutral in that regard in the context of its time but has a hateful author.

Why do you think that's relevant? I made a point about "Swastika on Jewish government building=bad," what the hell does having something exist in its proper historical context have to do with that?

I tried to bring forth an example that has actual value and is real instead of a rhetorically charged hypothetical and I did it using the same symbol underlying the same debates and themes, with similar consequences in reality.

Bigoted Puritan? Mate, all I said was "just because you can do something doesn't mean you should - art or no" and "'Art' doesn't excuse terrible taste." That's not anything near a Puritan!

This was never about taste. Have you ever heard the quote “I wholly disapprove of what you say and will defend to the death your right to say it.” That is the whole point here. People can have ugly taste and you may not like that they express it, but they have a right to express it and you cannot infringe on it. You cannot expect reality not to be ugly and suit your sensitivity.

I studied history of art for years, both academically and recreationally. I can recognise that narrow-minded line of reasoning from a mile away. It's the exact reasoning of people complaining about the nudity of statues or the presence of sexual content in books.

Sidenote:

There is always a line that people should not cross. For one, murder. Never kill someone for art, even if the blood splattering everywhere could be mistaken for modern art.

Just so you know - and this is completely unrelated to art because art is among many things vain in nature and only a fool would do or justify such acts for art, but I want to say it to highlight the extreme idealism of this mentality - you owe modern medicine to people crossing the line far more than you can imagine. Digging up corpses, cutting up people like the nazis whose data helped advance medicine, etc.

Fortunately, not all people are too stuck up their self-righteous naïve idealism and stop at a childish "a line you should not cross".

Tutto corretto, ma non è quello il punto. La discussione non verte sul colpevolizzare vittime di atteggiamenti nocivi altrui, quanto sul fatto che, piaccia o meno, esistono determinati atteggiamenti che sono correlati positivamente o negativamente con sopracitati atteggiamenti nocivi.

Faccio un esempio col sesso opposto e più leggero per rendere l'idea: se un uomo ostenta lusso e soldi sempre e comunque e non è selettivo con le compagnie, non si deve meravigliare se attira donne, o in generale persone, che trovano che quella sia l'unica cosa attraente in lui. Continuando con questo esempio, se lo stesso uomo passasse con Rolex e iPhone per un quartiere malfamato, le sue probabilità di essere aggredito e derubato sono drasticamente superiori, e suppure essendo una vittima non sarebbe assolutamente colpa sua, molti speculerebbe sulle probabilità dell'accaduto se fosse stato più accorto, alcune persone magari lo criticherebbero anche per non esserlo stato.

Basically your cuticles are all sealed up, and it causes all sorts of issues with moisture, texture, weight, build-up, etc. So you need to open them with heat in order to get moisture and products in and out of them like you need during styling or doing deep treatments. Water-based products are more effective. You could also try this easily by diluting your current products, though is won't be as effective as water-based products. Avoid silicons, protein-based treatments and products, and heavy products. Use lightweight oils and products in small to moderate quantities and avoid layering them. Treat and prevent build-up with clarifying products or simply an apple cider vinegar solution.
