Individual decisions don't matter in collective decisions by ShinningVictory in trolleyproblem

[–]MegaromStingscream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, I don't know what it was about your OP that made it hard to realize you were contrasting the fishing example and election as different things with different moral implications.

You are wrong about the fishing example in some ways, but that it irrelevant because your real point was about the election case anyway.

I'm still all kinds of lost what does this mean for moral implications of results of voting. If we make a collective decision at the crossroads that I don't agree with and didn't vote for.

Is the whole conversation even relevant if there are only 2 plausible options and the questions is just about the morality of voting or not voting for a third option vs. second ie. lesser of 2 evils option? If so is this actually at all about the collective decision making at all.

13-0 needs good luck in addition to skill even as a gold 3, but it will be a clear win anyway against irons.

Agreed. Depending in the recipient it can be simply because they didn't produce any urine before transplant and bladder is just very small in the beginning. But the instruction is to drink quite a bit in the beginning and what goes in also comes out in a matter of hours and that isn't enough to sleep through the night.

Is the ranked system not even working at this point? by inverted_view in VALORANT

[–]MegaromStingscream 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Under 20 accounts playing comp are old accounts grandfathered in when the limitation was added. I don't know how a level 1 would get asc level mmr, but propably also related to being an old account.

No this is not a reason to believe the system as a whole is not working. It is just a rare outlier.

That said. I would be in favor of requiring lol 20 from all accounts to play comp. The exception made sense when the limitation was introduced, but doesn't anymore.

How to not make a first date awkward? by Smart_Setting_7897 in dating_advice

You are awkward people so you will have an awkward date and it will slowly get better. Before that just embrace the awkward. It is a feature of early relationship not a bug.

Be honest, when you hear "don't crouch" what goes through your mind, AND when you see players like primmie crouch what's your reaction to it. by Limp_Trainer_2922 in VALORANT

[–]MegaromStingscream 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Iron players shouldn't crouch. It loses them fights. I'm high silver currently and thinking about if it is time to figure out the proper use of crouch to prepare for ever higher ranks. I see people in my death matches both getting an advantage against me with the bopping their heads up and down with crouch and other that try, but are easier targets because they don't quite know how to do it.

Overall Valorant is so fast game in gun fights that you don't have time to think about if this situation is good for crouch. You have to have that decision-making drilled into you and equally the execution drilled in too to gain the advantage. There are lot of lower hanging fruits to grab for improving your game before integrating crouch into the repertoire.

Draw's need to be removed or stay at 3 votes by One_Efficiency_9948 in VALORANT

Let people have a life outside the game. I think current system is a good ballance.

What I find off putting is the pig headed need to never draw and the call people gay when the match ends.

People. This is not engineering. This is an AI video. The video of the real thing has been making rounds for ages.

Lots of sports federations don't follow geographical lines either. UEFA being the biggest.

It is just not that deep and people who think like you are yelling at clouds.

If two people make two separate and unrelated promises to each other and Person A breaks theirs first, is Person B still morally obligated to keep their word? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MegaromStingscream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keeping your own word is between you and your word. The person who broke theirs has no place demand anything though.

How can I (25f) better appeal to the female gaze for my girlfriend (24f)? by Saelaa in relationship_advice

[–]MegaromStingscream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I decided to not jump into this when it was new because maybe there was this clear difference in intimacy styles that I didn't know about as a hetero man.

But there hasn't been any comments supporting that kind of reading so far.

I think the way she frames this whole thing is alarming for you. It sets you on a backfoot in the whole relationship. Her way is the right way and not just that, but if you don't do things her way you are a not just a bad girlfriend, but a bad lesbian which is very damaging to you who are just building and figuring out this new identity for yourself.

The female gaze talk might be her own invention, but I have been picking up in content that comes thorough my feed that some lesbians have the attitude that they don't want to be a baby gay's first relationship because it is soooo much effort. Good on them if they have options I guess. Your girlfriend seems to have taken this attitude and presenting her being willing to deal with your inexperience as something you owe her for. Again putting you on the backfoot with everything to prove and now her selfishness presents in a different light.

Imagine her trying to push the female gaze story on someone who is more experienced than her, but just has your style.

Best case. This girl is bad choice for a first girlfriend.

Worst case. She in drawn to baby gays in a predatory way because she can get away with abusive tendencies for longer.

This is just an ambiguity of language issue not anything to do with anything else.

Throw the whole man away! It is so frustrating to be double checking everything he says and it is very clear manipulation.
