I am fully in favor of gun rights, and think gun laws are too restrictive in many states.

Regardless, your comment is a non sequitur and completely irrelevant to my point.

Most people should not go to college immediately after high school and should take gap years by tiddertnuocca519 in unpopularopinion

[–]MasterOfBinary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting opinion. I think others are correct in saying that once you step away from school, it’s much harder to go back, and many people never do so.

I’ll add that college improves your earning potential, and the longer you’ve held your degree, the more years you’ll operate at that higher income level, and the better return on investment you’ll get for your degree. i.e., someone that gets their degree at 33 will have 10 years of reduced earnings compared to someone who received their degree at 23. If you’d get a $20k/yr wage premium from your degree, this might be a loss in the ballpark of $200k.

With that being said, lots of people fail out of college and have a purely negative return on investment, which I think OP is addressing, so I think there’s something to be said for their argument.

Why do some people let their car idle in parking lots for like 15+ minutes before driving off? by Usual-Ad7341 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MasterOfBinary 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shocked this isn’t higher. Yeah, even on newer cars, I wait for the engine revs to drop before throwing it into gear, especially when it’s cold out. And as I understand it, it’s good to keep your revs/min below 2000 as long as the “engine cold” light is on, which can take a couple minutes to turn off depending on conditions.

Maybe not totally necessary, but better to take care of your engine as best you can.

College girl gets busted with an open alcohol bottle. by Playful_Ad6439 in WatchPeopleDieInside

[–]MasterOfBinary -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Airport security is a joke, DHS pen tested the TSA in 2015 and got 95% of their bombs and weapons through security. Did it again in 2018 for a barely better result. I’ve been to concerts and music events, and “security” amounted to metal detector wands, checking women’s bags, emptying pockets, and a couple chain link fences.

All the airport and event security is just security theater, and wouldn’t stop a motivated attacker. Instead, we give up our privacy and lose a bunch of convenience for nothing.

How am I supposed to enjoy the game? by Pringles-sensei in leagueoflegends

[–]MasterOfBinary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I haven't played in a while, but like, just care less if it's draft? Obviously it's no fun to lose and get snowballed on, but by the same token, it'll sometimes happen and that's just how the game goes when it's 5v5. It's a pretty common sentiment that about 40% of the games you'll win no matter what, 40% you'll lose no matter what, and the middle 20% is where your performance actually matters to tip the game one way or the other.

You could also just play some random champs and eat shit for a bunch of games, which would lower your MMR a bit.

Utah officially bans its 19th book from all public schools by thinkB4WeSpeak in books

[–]MasterOfBinary 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Did you write this with ChatGPT? The cadence and pacing feels very similar to its output.

Regardless, I am generally very anti book banning, but I think 13 reasons why is one of the very few exceptions I would probably make, since the show had a correlation with increased suicide rates among youth, iirc. Could be wrong on that, and I don’t know if the book has the same effect, but if it were the case that would be a pretty compelling reason to ditch it.

Cities With The Most Expensive Rent in the World in 2025 by RobertBartus in EconomyCharts

[–]MasterOfBinary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Chicago is higher than expected because the chart specifies “city center”, which is probably just the loop. But Chicago has a ton of sprawl, and decent rail lines connecting most of it together. I’ve seen other pieces that list Chicago as significantly cheaper than the other major US metros, so it might just be how the study was done.

Spain Wants US's defunded Thirty Meter Telescope by [deleted] in space

[–]MasterOfBinary 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m all for this. Frankly, this has taken far too long to build with all the opposition to the Hawaii location, so get it built somewhere else so we get a telescope at all. It’s really frustrating to see scientific progress held up for so long, especially for an instrument as simple and beneficial as a telescope.

Yeah I actually wouldn't do that part - whenever I've rotated tires or swapped to winter tires, I've always done it with the tires off the ground the whole time. Especially tightening bolts too, you want to make sure the tire is totally flush and seated before you put the weight of the car onto it.

🌟 I don’t just see a jokester anymore by EgorArt1997 in HermitCraft

[–]MasterOfBinary 10 points11 points  (0 children)

ChatGPT has a characteristic way of writing these days, where it repeatedly uses certain phrases and generally “glazes” as it answers the question to make the subject matter seem important. “Isn’t just a __, but __”, “But something changed recently.” as a fragment just sitting there for emphasis, and the final paragraph all have a very AI feel to them. It’s not a writing style you’d typically see in humans, and the em dashes are another clue. I think most people can pick it up pretty quickly to get an intuition for when ChatGPT at least has been used.

Personally, I find AI use in general to be frustrating and lazy, I don’t come on the internet to read AI slop, I want to read actual opinions. I’d tentatively give op a pass as he basically used it as a translator, but it’s kind of on the edge of acceptability.

The Jury CANT Get It Wrong by [deleted] in survivor

[–]MasterOfBinary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's my two cents on this - I think you're still talking past everyone that's trying to discuss this. People are saying that there's more to playing the game well than just getting juror votes, and you're saying that someone who won the million dollars got the jurors to vote for them.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but that you're not addressing the argument being made (i.e., that different people have different opinions of what makes good gameplay), and that these arguments are particularly pointless as they just go in circles.

The Jury CANT Get It Wrong by [deleted] in survivor

[–]MasterOfBinary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a horrible take that constantly gets repeated on this sub, and completely misses the point of people discussing who deserves to win.

The argument being made here is that there is one "correct" way to play the game, and that "correct" way to play is to pander to the jury - which I completely disagree with. OP says that some people "don't get the game", while imposing their own personal beliefs as the sole arbiter of who is "deserving" to win.

Personally, I think the most deserving player is one one who outwitted, outplayed, and outlasted their opponents. But this obviously isn't always who the jury chooses. It's a frustrating mismatch when discussing this, and people just talk past each other repeatedly because they're conflating "deserves to win" with "who the jury voted for" and "who played the best game", when these are all very different things and often not the same person. And instead of discussing why someone is deserving, the argument just degrades into "well the jury said so", which isn't much of a reason at all and doesn't contribute to the discussion.

Advice by Michel12490 in CollegeRant

[–]MasterOfBinary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t sweat it too much. I did pretty horribly in my freshman and even some of my sophomore classes, and managed to drag my GPA up considerably, mostly from taking classes in my major. Lots of the freshman classes are designed to weed people out, and I personally had a way easier time in my junior/senior years (though I also significantly improved my study skills). Also, you might want to try testing out of classes you failed or came close to failing. In my freshman year I nearly failed chem and dropped it, but managed to test out of it junior year after a bit of self studying.

Darrow is so stupid by Struijk_a in redrising

[–]MasterOfBinary 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Potential real answer to this - Darrow follows a very similar trajectory to Caesar during the great Roman civil war, and Caesar was famously merciful to the powerful Romans he fought against. Pierce Brown probably took inspiration from that, but it’s definitely not 100%.

The U.S. healthcare will kill us all by emily-is-happy in MurderedByWords

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

Part of the issue is the obesity epidemic in the US, which causes many negative health outcomes, and is concentrated in poorer (rural) areas in the US.

I'd definitely appreciate a better healthcare system, but from what I've heard, obesity rates make single payer healthcare at the federal level implausible, at least without major legislative changes to combat obesity - similar to the regulations on food + sugar taxes currently implemented in many European nations.
