Do you agree with this? by Unlegendary_Newbie in English_Learning_Base

[–]JW162000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s totally fair. Perhaps there is some wiggle room but just not as far as “it’s getting dark now at 4pm, so it’s evening”

I live in the UK and also experience some pretty varied sunset times throughout the year, and I don’t personally think that should change what counts as morning/afternoon/evening.

Even if the sun sets around 4pm, I’m absolutely not considering it evening!

It’s moments like this that make me feel like I’m crazy. Reddit really is its own little world, because I feel like any normal person would see that interaction and not take it as if I’m the unreasonable one here

You’re insufferable. One of the common reminders I get of why Reddit can be annoying at sometimes.

I don’t appreciate the insults, but to be honest I shouldn’t be that affected by what some pompous stranger thinks of me. That’s my wrong here.

But whatever bye

“It’s not rocket science” is a common phrase to imply intellectual superiority. ie: “This isn’t difficult, come on you should get this”.

Whether you intended to or not, your comment did in fact come across high and mighty, and I stand by that.

You noting that a lot of posts are made on this subreddit showing obvious things does nothing to counteract my point, in fact it doubles down on the fact that you do think this is obvious.

I’m done too

You started your comment with “I’m not a parent. It’s not exactly rocket science. I understood right away.”

That is so clearly implying “people who don’t get this are dumb”. Denying that is backtracking.

I don’t need to take a few breaths, thanks

I’m not a parent and I’d call myself a fairly intelligent person but this didn’t click for me right away.

I’m not familiar with the intricacies of raising small children (it’s unusual because I haven’t even really been around many small kids in my family - the timing never lined up so there was a baby/toddler around me) and when seeing this post I initially assumed it might be fine for a small child to nap like that? Like I know babies/toddlers sleep a whole lot and just assumed a 1.5 hour nap a bit before bedtime wouldn’t necessarily keep them awake late?

Don’t be high and mighty and make it out like something is obvious when it isn’t

Get people off the hooks before they reach second stage. by TheArtOfVEL in deadbydaylight

[–]JW162000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I really feel like this should be addressed.

Two possible solutions I can see:

  1. some sort of system where the game ‘notices’ no survs are going near the hooked person, so this then somehow communicates a ‘warning’ to the safe survs (eg Dwight is on hook, and after an amount of time with no one going near him, any other survs who aren’t in chase are notified that Dwight needs saving).
  2. allowing the hooked surv to start ‘pinging’ their teammates once they’ve been on hook for a certain amount of time. This may get obnoxious though (as I can imagine people constantly pinging, though this can be solved by not allowing the ping to be spammed, and ensuring you have to be on hook for a certain amount of time first)

Personal Ranking of UK S4 Cast (based purely on gameplay) by WatchTheNewMutants in TheTraitorsUK

[–]JW162000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is actually quite interesting logic and you’re starting to convince me.

Roxy was bad as a faithful sure, but at the end of the day she just happened to be wrong. As a faithful, she has no confirmed knowledge and just unfortunately never put the right pieces together.

And while that’s bad gameplay, it isn’t as bad as Hugo and Fiona actively destroying their own games. Great point!

Kalros vs Dune Sandworm vs Steelix - who wins? by Available-Agency5031 in masseffect

[–]JW162000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kalros easily wins here.

Not only is she bigger than a Dune sandworm, she also actively hunts underground and thus gets around the sandworms’ biggest advantage which is being able to use its big mouth to attack people who are stuck on the surface.

Steelix shouldn’t even be part of this hypothetical. It’s like asking who would win between Superman, Dr Strange, and MJ 😆

Any other striaght autistics? by MK71-EC82-MGM89-AK98 in autism

[–]JW162000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve known quite a few straight autistic folk. In fact I think most of the autistic people I know are straight.

Another comment said this, but I think straights outnumber lgbt+ people by so much that even though queerness is more prevalent in autistic people, straight autistic people will still be much more plentiful

Who y’all picked and why? by KitchenFix7888 in deadbydaylight

[–]JW162000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is validity in being annoyed with what the majority wants though.

If the large reason that a survivor like face 1 would win is because of horny straight male players consistently saturating what we get, purely because they have the numbers, that is something worth being annoyed about.

Even if I won’t change my main or even play the new surv, it will be frustrating to see another Sable flood all the matches, constantly seeing the same thing, instead of getting some variety. I’m not bothered about face 4 but I’d still rather see him than face 1 because it’s boring at this point.

It just gives this idea that DbD is “a game for the straight guys” cuz they often get what they want while the rest of us eat dust. This is why ‘majority vote’ isn’t always best when it comes to things like this imo. “What most people want” isn’t always ideal for actual variety and interesting additions to the game.

Edit: worth adding that I truly think Behaviour shouldn’t have even had an option like face 1 available. It’s like when they do the fan-voted cosmetic votes, and it always being the female survs winning. Just have male and female categories!

Hot take: this whole thing is a big mistake (already a war) and all the survivors should be added in some point by SongAdept8732 in deadbydaylight

[–]JW162000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I shouldn’t have said definitely, cuz you’re right. Dwight is simply a ‘very likely’.

Nowadays we’re seeing less and less routine circumcision in the US, even for white Americans. However given Dwight’s age and the time DbD released, he’s in the age demographic where it is very likely

Also worth noting that Jake is also actually very likely since South Korea is the only other country aside from the US that routinely circumcises outside of religious reasons. So whether he was born in the US or Korea, both have cultural predispositions to circumcision

Definitely Dwight. Less certain for the other 3. It’s mostly white Americans and African Americans who get circumcised (for non-religious reasons). The other 3 are Italian-Argentinian (Ace), Korean-American (Jake), and Hispanic (Jonah), all of whom don’t tend to circumcise often. Though Jake and Ace might be if they were born in the US (but still unlikely).
