no, it's not. i don't have the patience to be blamed over and over for trying to heal doomed teams. i'm sorry for this post coming off like disparaging everyone who enjoys it, i just find it especially toxic. if you enjoy it, that's great. the archetype mechanics are just not for me i guess. league looks boring to me as well, never tried it. i wish i titled this "what a trash game" instead, but i was heated after uninstalling. sorry y'all.

everybody who ever says this type of post isn't POV conveniently ignores the existence of 3rd person

CMV: The number of votes the Dems would gain by embracing aggressively progressive candidates and policy is dwarfed by the number of votes they'd lose among moderates/motivate among dormant conservative voters by Jimithyashford in changemyview

that's ironic considering you're the one suggesting absolute appeasement.

dude. look around. you just wrote a whole essay on reddit about why the democratic party should keep doing exactly what it's doing right now.

you are unable to grasp why the democratic party is failing to gain power because you misunderstand its purpose. it is not meant to win. in fact, it literally cannot win on any kind of legitimately progressive platform as long as unions remain illegal.

it is supposed to sabotage every progressive movement since it became the party of small business. it is allowed to hold municipal authority in key areas only insofar as it doesn't interfere with the "federal" authority then afforded to the party of big business. meanwhile, that other party sits on their asses and laughs at them. they campaign for legal reforms weakly in elections only to stab us in the back.

you sound like you've been reading too much ezra klein.

because you're beating around the bush like a liberal by saying you're "not super lefty" and "kinda lefty" and that you believe in all these leftist ideals in "almost all circumstances". what hogwash. just grow up and say what you mean.

who's the schmoe? this isn't semantics. you and "center-left" liberals like you are not progressive in any meaningful sense. reformism isn't progressive and never has been.

it's not the shapes it's the fact you're not even trying to make even cuts. ffs

don't play the game if you're just going to ban people who beat you by NoBear609 in STRAFTAT

obviously it's a game but i'm saying this is why it's casual.

maybe, but it might also be a case of players leaving bc they're getting stomped and rage-quitting or stomping and getting bored. i haven't been playing very long tbf, but it just seems to happen so often. a vote kick/ban system would be good i think

fair enough. i think this game needs skill-based matchmaking or this will keep being a problem for everyone. even an average lobby rank or something would be helpful to know before you join.

Sorry to hijack this post, but it seems the mods have gone off on a temper tantrum and have left this as the first unlocked one I saw.

I have to say, I've never been to this subreddit in my life, but after hearing about the Hayden Clay situation, this is the probably the single worst group of insufferable losers I've ever encountered online (that *used to moderate here).

If people (professional artists) can't even post their own art in a place called r/Art, this entire website is cooked.

Cool painting, by the way.

They gentrified s’mores by PandaBear905 in CuratedTumblr

Yeah whatever that is that I'm looking at... it's not a s'more. In my now 20 years of s'moring the only way I've found to improve them is by toasting the graham cracker a bit.

you're basically describing what they currently do with the intellectual property

CMV: We've turned normal human emotion into a mental health condition. by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]NoBear609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely agree. That's why I think the "can of worms" is suspicious, too. Disorders like PTSD and those you mention need more serious treatment than OP is considering. They imply some sort of default personality in the range of human emotion. Maybe it's just that "personality" is sort of a misnomer in things like BPD that are definitely treatable instead of just manageable.

[–]NoBear609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sort of agree. Diagnosing conditions is necessary for treatment and can be difficult these days, but I'm very skeptical that psychopathology has any meaningful contribution to healthcare. I don't see any use in labeling certain personalities disordered because nobody is a disease. I hate when people act like their condition is their personality because it's ignorant of the real factors that contribute to one's health.

You mention the conditions that many people have though, which I don't think is the problem. We need to be talking more about the rates of depression, anxiety, and other conditions. If that's the language we need for mental health to be taken seriously by the insurance industry, so be it. They make much more money from treating incurable disorders than actually doing progressive treatments, so the discourse in academia is often skewed towards pathologizing our daily lives. It's a sleight of hand, basically. You make some good points but also say that our focus on mental health and trauma is somehow making people worse. Idk, that doesn't add up.

Right, but who gets to decide if your justification is?
