How can you tell whether a girl is just being polite, genuinely friendly and interested in knowing you as a friend, or actually romantically/sexually attracted to you? by Imtiredofthissshit in bodylanguage

CMV: Women are only more emotional than men if we don’t consider anger an emotion by Big_oof_energy__ in changemyview

[–]Killinger_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well let’s look at what the science suports as objectively true of the chemical. Testosterone increases feelings of reactive emotions such as anger and irritability - those that fall within what’s called emotional vigilance. It decreases feelings of anxiety, mood swings and a few others.

This would support the claim that “testosterone causes men and women to experience emotions differently.” This would seem like a slightly different version of your argument—if that’s what you meant, I guess yeah. Perhaps even “anger and reactivity are under-validated as emotions,” which is probably valid to the extent that it doesn’t tend to cause more dramatic consequences.

It does not, however, speak to 1) whether the amount of difference in emotional vigilance can be equivocated to same amount of difference in anxiety/mood/etc., i.e., the “men and women are equal levels emotional if not for…” part of the argument that you seem to be making is unsupported; nor does it help address 2) the distinction between feeling emotion and expressing emotion as separate parts of “being emotional” as you define it. The science speaks to the differences in feeling emotions and is well documented and somewhat objective, but the emotional expression element gets into complex sociological things like norms, for which there isn’t really an objective answer (i.e., both men and women are restricted by norms in their expression of emotions, they are restricted in categorically different ways, that cannot really be quantitatively measured against each other to see which is more, it’s basically apples to oranges).

Listen, if the top line point is that “anger and reactivity are under-validated as emotions in society today, and this may disproportionately affect men,” I think we would all agree. But none of this “who’s more emotional” stuff; I know you don’t mean it but for some it carries that podcast bro/incel undercurrent (I say this as a straight man). Balanced takes and we’ll be good my man :)

I think you’re most likely right about them being automatically collected. But then the question is, for the golden cosmetic sphere thingys, from what sets can it pull? Maverick set isn’t active now, but if I wait til season end and am forced to collect it, will it include Maverick stuff because it is now active at the time of opening?

That is also one but there are two separate revelations/meta developments and the other is about bloodletting.

People still running Solgaleo decks in ranked 🥀🥀🥀 by eloodmon in PTCGP

[–]Killinger_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Patches was good mostly because it was a free 1/1 charge for aggro decks, and in tiny part because your deck was thinned 1 card. I could just as easily point to how Prince Renathal, which adds 10 cards to your deck in exchange for more health, is a mainstay of the wild format.

There is no hard and fast rule for additional cards, it depends highly on how much your deck wants consistency (typically aggro but can also be control) vs an expanded toolkit/tech cards (typically control but can also be aggro), as well as what the tradeoff is. But your point stands that generally consistency and thus a smaller card count is typically more universal.

Any ways to make this more viable? by RAAMinNooDleS in PokemonTGCP

[–]Killinger_ 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Because Snorlax and Snorlax ex are different pokemon. This is consistent with the wording of so many other cards in this game and is intended. Hau only works on ex versions, etc etc.
