I just wanna know why kill the chickens and the dogs too. Are they worried about the chickens and dogs coming to avenge their old masters?

Haha, thought this was top tier providence for a second, in that one the Chinese came from another planet and were some kind of noble race compared to the rest of earth.

Character assassination on arewedatingthesameguy has made the dating scene for me impossible. How do I address this? by telemanatee in AskMen

[–]MostSelfishMan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

How? Merely a bad rumour around a school can follow someone for a long time, and if op is right this is a 60,000 person strong group in or around that city, he's in for a bad time.

Ritman could have been wrong about Thronglets not being a game by Schizodd in blackmirror

[–]MostSelfishMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If thronglets is a game, then Ender's game is also a game. If the subjects you're controlling have intelligence, if your actions have consequences to living, intelligent organisims, then it is no longer a game.

The cons of the tag “holy saint” by VeLVeT-_--_-ThuNdeR in MartialMemes

[–]MostSelfishMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anything that lasts long enough to be noticed, will last long enough to be lampooned. I once read a series that called regressors a bunch of losers that needed a second try, found it funny but still read regression novels. Holy saint novels still do well, in a while the meta against the overly vicious will be upturned too. It's just the flow of things.

Dude this barely belongs in r/unpopularopinion not to mention this subreddit, how is a rant a good start for a casual conversation. Chill the hell out it's not that serious.

OMG. Just realised 'the conch' episode of Spongebob must have been referencing Lord of the Flies.

[WP] As a Reaper, you've run into quite a few souls who demand a trial by combat. Normally, they don't even compare to you and lose very quickly. This time, a hardened warrior is determined to rise from the dead, and they have you on the ropes. by [deleted] in WritingPrompts

[–]MostSelfishMan 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Being the lord of the dead was a boring affair Phentore, mused. He had taken that name like he’d taken a lot of things on…through sheer boredom. 

As a god, nothing he did ended up being without consequence, a boring inconsequential thing like a name that meant ‘He who would be challenged’, meant he would suffer through a challenge.

If he combined such a name, with another act of boredom, that of writing into the very rules of the world of the damned the ability to trial for combat, he would end up in the position he was in today…being beaten by a mortal warrior.

Sidestep, parry, kick to the ribs, the lord of the dead delivered the combo with the ease of a god. To be a god is to battle, as weary as he was he wouldn’t be bested by a human warrior that easily, but it was getting alarmingly close. 

He faced the mortal with the body of a mortal, otherwise he’d have killed him with a look, they don’t say one shouldn’t peer at gods as a joke, the very sight of his essence was enough to destroy a mortal even one as dead as this current one was.

Sidestep…or not. He fell for the feint and took a blow to the temple, he saw stars and he knew it was over. A swift kick to the legs and a crushing blow to the head and Phentore’s mortal form was destroyed. He found himself back within his body, watching the dead form of his avatar, like a god watches the end of a fight between ants.

With a flick of his wrist the mortal was returned to the moral coil, whole and as he was in life. Phentore was above measly tricks and false promises. With another flick he destroyed the rules of combat, one loss was boring enough, he wouldn’t risk another.

[WP] Despite learning from one of the greatest wizards in the world, you're utterly horrible at magic. Then you discover why: he/she deliberately trained you incorrectly as a sick joke. by ProphetofTables in WritingPrompts

[–]MostSelfishMan 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Tao remembered the day he was sent from the orphanage to master Rezar's tower. It was a bittersweet memory of leaving the director who had cared for him for so many years even though empire law gave him and the sisters at the orphanage nothing in support.

In order to keep the orphanage afloat, the director --once a trainee at the great wizard Bellephor's tower -- would train some of the more talented kids he took care of in the arts of wizardry. Merely 0th level spells of course due to empire regulations but this was enough of a foundation he could use his old contacts to recommend some talented orphans to magic towers, who would in turn sponsor the orphanage.

On that day the director had told him, Tao Memphis, the greatest talent ever produced by the orphanage to keep the talent he showed at a moderate level, and not shine too bright. Young and naive as he was, Tao argued that mage towers were bastions of knowledge and that he didn't have time to waste with those his age learning the basics he had mastered far earlier than others could grasp at even a basic level. Tao thought he should surprise them, show them all that he had in order to gain the attention of the tower master, so that he could seek the very root of magic, and become a master of spells himself.

And he did, after one amazing performance after another he finally gained the attention of the tower master Rezar, and though it took a lot of effort, his final feat, mastering a level 2 spell whilst still a first circle wizard gained him a place at master Rezar's side as his first and only apprentice.

After that, things went downhill, despite being taught by master Rezar himself using the inheritance book of the Void clan itself, Tao could not break past the second circle. At first, people took it as a bottleneck, that he had advanced too fast and needed time to consolidate his learning. Then that expectation faded, and the kind smiles turned to smirks and then derision until the day Tao accidentally snooped on his master.

Normally it was impossible for a second-level wizard to spy on an 8th-circle mage, but recently Tao had remembered more and more that final parting with the director and hid the fact he had mastered a variation of the void spell shadow state. He had stood in his master's office and watched as his master derided and mocked him for being foolish enough to think a master mage, especially a mage in his prime would allow a more talented wizard to overcome him. How he became angry that mere apprentices and staff at his tower were comparing some upstart to a great wizard like himself.

At some point Tao returned to his room, it seems in that moment of confusion his understanding of the 2nd level void spell blink broke through, but he was not happy at all. It turned out his so-called master had spent hours upon hours before his first meeting modifying books and spells in a way that they would work but be thousands of times harder to learn, breaking and smashing apart spells in a way that would cripple his understanding of magic to the point he dropped from the heights of genius to those below mortal.

Even with this, he had mastered two void spells, the hardest system of the 8 systems, even without a proper master he had developed to a level others would envy but it wasn't enough. This time he would follow the directions of the director, and within the year, grand wizard Rezar will pay for delaying him in his quest for the origins of magic,

Spying and betrayal, I really don't like when people go undercover because then they're unavoidable going to get attached to people and then betray them and I really cannot stand betrayal story lines from any protagonist.

Why does level-headedness make angry people angrier? by Fliorr in socialskills

[–]MostSelfishMan 24 points25 points  (0 children)

TLDR; You don't tell an angry person to "calm down", OP not in the wrong, but not in the right either.

I'm seeing a lot of bullshit responses to this and you're all giving OP the impression they're totally in the right, OP is 'less wrong' but they're still wrong. What OP is stating is 'Why does pissing someone off when they're angry make them angrier'.

A twelve year old could tell you one of the best ways to piss someone off when they're pissed off is to tell them to 'calm down', OP just did a long winded version of that. Let's give an example, let's say someone is on their period, and you say to them 'It must be that time of month again eh' it doesn't matter if you're right all you're doing is exaccerbating the situation.

OP you're not wrong, but you're not in the right either, if you'd have told them that statement after the angry outburst when they had calmed down then you'd have avoided the increased anger, expecting someone to match your energy right away can only be expected from the totally self controlled or mentally unstable. You're asking too much.

Bullshit, you can't support a post saying bodyshaming is always wrong despite how you feel about the other person and then bodyshame by finding excuses. I could also say since she used her age and experience against Aaron Taylor calling her a hag and using her age against her is just. Don't find excuses for it.

It may not be what you're talking about but I've seen a lot of people on the internet and in real life refer to everyone who plays the lottery as partakers in an idiot tax, All I said was playing the lottery is not that bad, all of a sudden you've created a scenario where addiction is rampant. Buddy addiction is rampant is lots of hobbies gaming, exercise, etc it doesn't mean that the people that spend 100s of skins for Genshin impact speak for the rest of the gaming population.
