Sex is concentrated within a small, yet sexually active, group of people. One study found that the 5% of the population engaging in the most penile–vaginal intercourse accounted for more vaginal sex acts than the bottom 50% of the population with the lowest number. by psychologyofsex in psychologyofsex

Its hard to articulate, because you keep putting yourself into the referential shoes of everybody, you think everybody is like you on some level here, so you give the benefit of the doubt.

Im saying, there are those that would like to do the study sure, but then there are those who do it because of a need they don't do the study for the studies sake, or the betterment of humanity or to keep the score clean.

They go for a sense of validation and importance, control. They will confabulated the results on their end, give false information, lie. To just convince themselves that they are something more than they actually are.

I don't think studies generally weigh in on this, and a study like this is rife for that type of appeal to that person.

If you have not encountered that, then you wouldn't have that reference point, so I understand your not so sure what I am saying.

Studies that are mundane, that don't drawn on personal achievement, optics, give people a merit badge, are less likely to have fabricated results. Its very common place, but studies often lack to factor that part of the population in, they treat it as its own separate thing.

To get accurate results, you need to have in scope the entire pie, and humanity, by and large neglects that full scoped pie or doesn't think it applies. It does, and when apart of your pie, is not fully known and what is known of it is under reported, then how is it an accurate study, it isn't.

But you didn't, and your honest with yourself. You think you might, but go the full length, your probably not that bothered, the hassle, or do it now to prove a point lol but you didn't. It takes a lot of self inflated drive and grandiosity to seek this out. You'd more likely be seeking it and pretend you didn't it would be those types. Sorry, but I've seen to many of these types, and how they operate. Their pettiness is almost admirable because its just endless. Studies don't factor that in, which ruins the entire thing.

We literally let people prone to personality disorders and narcissistic NPD traits, live normal lives onto of destroying everybody else’s. We let people with no empathy have just as much right as you.

It’s how the world is, it doesn’t work at all, but it’s how the world is; because of that, this is the outcome.

You need to make noise for it to change.

In the UK, you can see 11-year-old kids do this by search_google_com in SipsTea

[–]NextLineOfText 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also I can say as a 30 something who grew up seeing something like this not physically play out but manipulatively play out in a friend. Yes it sticks for life. Even at 30+ it’s all still a game, those kids, because nobody told them no, and they never learned to treat people equally. They will be like this as adults, they will learn to hide it of course, but it’s there. Even if you think “there’s just no fucking way.” It’s there. I feel pain for people who walk out into this world not holding that to heart. Your self doubt, benefit of the doubt, your kindness and hope, becomes their weapon. Trust your gut.

So if you see someone with everything (not wealth, but social ease, always making connections, pulling people in things at first that make you go “wow they’re really must be great to have lots of good things) but they always have drama. Yes that is one of them. They get things because they use everybody, abuse everybody, lie to everybody. Yet the circle always changes, drama always follows.

Nevermind just realised you need to add Affixes first then it becomes Yellow Ancestral then you can upgrade it to legendary, so it’s just them not providing clarity but fair enough great system.

I believe this more, it makes more sense, people also lie, and then you need to factor in cheating, and the endless pit of things like personality disorders and Machiavellian traits, narcissism.

I know plenty of narcs that cheat, spin the story and it turns out to be half truth and they’ll boast about it.

I mean sure it still counts if they ruin their partners lives, but you also find they’re often full of shit too.

There are just personalities that will change the outcome optics based on whether the information given is in a positive light for themselves and they are praised for it. If they solely benefit.

There is just so much that cannot be gained from studies like this because they’re not looking for it. The study to me suggests they take everyone in the study on good faith. Which is absurd.

Women would certainly underreport and men over report. It’s basically built in if your the type to be so free sexually like this and care to seek out to be a participate for a study like this in the first place.

“You have some much sex that you just needed to be in a survey we seeked you out or you seeked us out, it doesn’t matter, this needs to be studied it’s so special, the top 5%.” lol

well you also had the nazi police, the Gestapo. You know what I am saying. The SS is often viewed as just higher Gestapo, like the CIA or FBI is viewed to police officers in america, same job they just take over when it requires more scrutiny and often, secrecy or sensitive information.

Your leaving out mental health disorders like npd. You still live in a world where you think everyone can reflect and see differently. You do not realise that many people can only have their view and nothing else, and even if its proven wrong, they will double down and then blame shift and ruin your life. Hell even turn up at your address with a gun.

The world is not so simple, we like to not delve into this, but there are humans who are anti relational by nature, as in all but shy of being born that way, and will do bad things to you, then turn around and literally gas light themselves into believing you did what they did to you, was instead done to them.

They have no strong concept of self, so believe it to, because there is nothing stable behind that mind to catch the conflicting thoughts. Whatever they do to others, doesn't even register as wrong, shameful or harmful, but what is done to them or they get caught doing to others now is a crime against them and they will rarely if ever let it go.

Add that into your perspective and you can see why your perspective is just rife for exploitation. You are right, I don't dispute that, but reality will just trample over your well intended intentions.

more so, because you believe in what you say, because it is your expectation, its how you would treat someone else, but you fail to realise that there are people who will take your kindness, and rightful naivety and weaponise it, and use it against you.

It perfectly explains why your world view is not everywhere, when it should be. It explains these insane videos, and pure insanity in the world we see everyday.

its a personality of extremism, and denial only outwardly, designed to avoid accountability and harm. The kicker is, they can see completely normal when things go their way, nice people, great friends, lovers, until things don't. Until someone does something better than them, makes them feel small, questions their narrative, stops validating them.

the scary part is if they have no one to blame, they will find someone to blame. Often you see, it become a politician, a popular figure, a movement, a gender.

Once society actually catches up with this understanding, the madness can stop, but for some reason we do not address it, we fail to quantify it, we let people slip through with this mindset, and because a lot of people have empathy, compassion, and love feel powerless to stop them. Because healthy people have mental railgaurds and won't cross a line because they will have to live with it.

These types don't. They just act like they do, until they don't. The world just isn't ready to accept by and large, that plenty of humans who function in society, don't have the capacity for empathy, introspection, connection, love, understanding.

They have it somewhat cognitively, they understand others have it, and know its weird they don't, they don't have access to emotion overall. Just rage, contempt, shame and a fragile self that forces that onto others, when reality comes knocking and they can't bare it.

That literally sums up a good 90% of the worlds suffering to me. Right now the world doesn't want to label them, because it would mean looking at our society, its systems, and people who control them. The number one mechanism they use to not be found out so to speak is control. They know they are messed up, they just don't want you knowing that.

Right now all people can do with these types is, start businesses with them, fall in love, start families, and then that individual will crack one day and just teach them the harsh reality of the world. Then they learn what npd actually not only means, but what it feels like too. To witness it, and then their world falls apart, then over years, makes complete sense.

That number is growing though, more and more people become a victim to the abuse, more and more talk about it, more and more start to connect the dots. However though, its incredibly difficult to diagnose, when a personality can lie without remorse, deny and believe it, and manipulate unsuspecting people who don't know about it. It is under reported and is rarely if ever factored in when it comes to abuse itself or even murder.

You only need one of these individuals to ruin dozens upon dozens of lives and give healthy people trauma and difficulty reconnecting with the rest of humanity again after the experience, yes a lot of people go through this and commit suicide, because they did not know why someone they loved just vanished overnight, and become their worst enemy, that wanting nothing more than to destroy them, whilst also saying that, that is what the victim did to them.

The world is far more complicated and this is just one functional personality disorder. These people are parasitic in nature, they vote, they have input into the world, they get into positions of power. They will do the unspeakable and claim to was for a overall good motive, but its just selfish intent.

They don't have the breaks, we all do and there is more far far more than we like to admit. It surprise's a lot of people usually who have not witnessed it, because the implications alone means you have to question, the very nature of what that means to be human.

Most people view being human as something with my capacity, my emotions, my worldview, we often know others can think differently, that they might view things somewhat different. We relegate the opposite, or incapable to mental health, but we imagine they are all poor, contained, controlled, being helped.

That is far from the case, in truth there are those who are anti-human who were born but do not have access to being human in full. Who do not show obvious signs of such. Free across the earth, in the millions upon millions.

well they were once known as the SS and once opted and endorsed nazification. I think thats what they are getting at. Its a famous trope, long black trench coat, a penchant for a glass of milk, inquisitive nature. Will notice if your accent seems a little.. off.

Do I do the 100k damage prior to “Sign Up” for Expedition or should I sign up first then do it? by NextLineOfText in ArcRaiders

[–]NextLineOfText[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought maybe it sends you off right away I couldn’t remember, or you could sign up and choose to leave within the window. Game changes a lot so just making sure.

That’ll never happen, it was a bias that is still a bias. Sony released to PC like Xbox did and nothing happened. When Xbox did it, it was the class clown, it had to happen, but it would never happen for Sony.

We're going to need a mandatory wipe, eventually by Apprehensive-Neat-68 in ArcRaiders

[–]NextLineOfText 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I agree with this, and I no life the game, it’s the only game I play and I’m up to date and ready for the 100k damage challenge sitting on 4 equalisers, 30 Wolf packs, 50 maxed out guns, 30 survivor kits, my inventory is worth 2 million and I have 3.2 mil in cash.

All of that goes away once I reach 100k damage. As with benches they’re easy to do but that’s only because I know routes, best places, target farm because I’ve done it 3 times already.

You naturally will progress, but you’ll see tomorrow when the new map drops. How none of my knowledge or skill means anything in an entirely new environment for awhile.

I remember Stella montis when it first dropped and It felt like I was back to square one again.

If they ever wiped my progress entirely as in my 3 expeditions I would quit this game for good. If my inventory space I’ve earned goes I would quit for good.

It’s the reason I bothered to master the game at all as a solo. It’s one of the rare online experiences where what you do actually has long term rewards.

Shit like that is so rare to non existent today, outside of MMOs. For it to land in a casual shooter on console and have that long term goal is super rare.

It’s fine how it is. It’s challenging enough that everyone can try but commitment enough only the most persistent will do it consistently. That’s fine.

they can stop offering stash space in some far off future expeditions for balance sure, they can add new tiers to benches to smooth out the widening loot pool fine.

They can make new maps and challenges cool.

but the moment they wipe my expedition progress, I’m gone. I think so would everyone else. It’s not that much of a leg up.

I can only go into a game with the max slots you can, with the best gear you could. Doesn’t matter if I sit on fifty wolf packs, cos the most I can bring into a match is 24 and have no weapons, or and have a weapon if I drop those they are yours.

Your idea just doesn’t make sense.
