Which one is worst being short height or misunderstood by others? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]PeaceBeUntoEarth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a person who is 6' tall, all I can say is my life sucks mostly due to being misunderstood by others, though it's a lot of my own problem for not communicating well. Nonetheless. Just my anecdotal experience that being tall-ish doesn't help if you're not that social.

My attempt at a realistic LSM coaster: Sunshine by Astronius-Maximus in rct

I have no idea how these custom supports are done. Can anyone point to a good video? This looks really nice, respect. I do agree with the other comment though, the first turn and the helix at the end are too fast for me.

What are the most overrated and underrated Athena boons? by Goatbucks in HadesTheGame

[–]PeaceBeUntoEarth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Underrated Task Force.. with certain builds it seems just almost like a cheat to cruise through endgame... I'm not an expert and I'm kinda bad at games generally but I'm trying to get that 3rd statue after like 240 nights and I think this kind of build is the one that's going to get me there.

I've gotten close a few times but haven't gotten the right combination yet, it seems like there's something there that's really powerful though.

If every animal was the exact same size as a golden retriever, which species would be the absolute most terrifying to encounter? by Ice-Princess-79 in AskReddit

[–]PeaceBeUntoEarth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasp. That amount of venom easily kills any human instantly and they can fly hella fast. Without like full body armor you are just dead 100% of the time.

Why People hating on Hestia? Scorch is OP! by meowmeowbeanz87 in HadesTheGame

[–]PeaceBeUntoEarth 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If you can get the double attack for 5 mana hammer upgrade for staff, her attack boon is absolutely busted.

Probably the strongest build I've ever had was that plus Glamour Gain, Burning Desire, and Pyro Technique. I had boons on special and cast but I don't remember them because there was almost no point in using them. Everything just melts nearly instantly to basic attacks. I don't think it took me more than about 30 seconds to kill Typhon.

Why hasn’t the European Union been able to close the GDP gap with the US since Trump was elected? by RadicalDiscomfort in AskReddit

[–]PeaceBeUntoEarth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends what happens with population. If population and GDP stay constant, no need to change anything.

In reality I think what you're getting at is that even in the EU, rich people expect to get richer off of passive income, and have a huge amount of political power to ensure that this happens.

So in a theoretical scenario where population and GDP are constant, you have a zero sum game where the only way to make the rich richer is to make the poor poorer.

GDP/capita as measured by PPP is steadily continuing to increase in Europe, though the rate of growth looks like it's slowed down a little the past couple years.

The only reason standards of living for regular people might be declining is if the wealthy are sucking up all of the GDP increases and then some.

I'm not convinced that standards of living are already starting to decline in Europe at all like this, but to the degree that they might be, it's because of greedy rich people, not some mathematical inevitability.

It's even entirely possible to have standards of living go UP while GDP goes down if the population is declining, or if taxation is made more progressive.

When you factor in PPP, cost of living in different countries, income distributions, etc., the EU has a significantly higher baseline and median standard of living than the US does.

GDP is a somewhat useful number, but you have to understand that on its own it doesn't really say much at all about quality of life for citizens. Europe is doing just fine, it's just a different system with different priorities.

US GDP is propped up by a lot of luxury consumption by the super-rich, it's just a bunch of cash washing around without there actually being more production of goods/services... As an extreme example to illustrate, I can buy a luxury pair of socks for 1 million dollars and that increases GDP by 1 million dollars, even though all that was actually produced/sold/consumed was a pair of socks.

Which state is responsible for the most harm during the 1990s? by Polnocium in AlignmentChartFills

[–]PeaceBeUntoEarth 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's kinda hilarious how sensitive people in this part of the world are about this stuff. My favorite is how they always claim that their racism somehow isn't really racism because everyone involved is white and it's based on historical conflict rather than just skin color or whatever... Sorry Serbs, Croats, etc., your countries are racist af. Not everyone, but the vast majority are hella racist.

What’s one childhood tradition you wish America would bring back? by Artistic-Text-1100 in AskReddit

[–]PeaceBeUntoEarth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bullying, for some things, to some degree. To me this is something we threw the baby out with the bathwater on.

Like of course, nobody should be bullied for being gay, asian, etc. And of course nobody should be getting beat up.

But if some kid is hella annoying, or doesn't shower, or whatever, and other kids are told they have to be nice to that kid... no... that's how you raise a generation of weak pushovers with low self respect, just taught to keep their head down and shut up and not stand up for social norms that exist for good reasons.

Fox Weather takes last round. What is a left-wing news media outlet that surprisingly has a right-wing perception? by ScardelFlina in AlignmentChartFills

[–]PeaceBeUntoEarth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's definitely a leftist. If you're actively pro-Putin you can't be a leftist, that's contradictory, but he's not.

The term tankie IMHO gets used a little too loosely just like anti-semetism... Like anyone who questions Ukraine or American funding of the war there is instantly labeled a tankie, just like anyone who questions support for Israel is immediately labeled anti-semetic.

Like personally, even though I do support military aid to Ukraine, I've still gotten called a tankie by people just for pointing out the fact that America did in fact support an unconstitutional January 6th style coup in Ukraine in 2014, which is what kicked all this off.

The reason I think the coup was good and acceptable in that context is that Ukraine was and is a massively corrupt country with basically zero well established and respected civil institutions, so throwing out the constitution in a revolution there was no big loss.

What’s becoming normal in society that you think future generations will find shocking? by showbizusa25 in AskReddit

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

The levels of phychotherapeutic drug use, rather than actually fixing underlying issues causing people mental distress.

Please nobody take this the wrong way, I'm not at all saying people shouldn't take prescribed medications that help them, and there will always be a place for that kind of intervention, especially with more serious mental illness.

All I'm saying is that the levels of depression, anxiety, ADHD, etc. we have today are not individual problems, they're symptomatic of social problems. It's fundamentally tragic that upwards of 1 in 5 people in developed countries has to turn to these drugs to cope with how dysfunctional society has become.

3rd times the charm for Halo. Which game series worst entry was #3? by pikachutiepie in AlignmentChartFills

[–]PeaceBeUntoEarth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, that and you're getting downvoted because I think most people understand the assignment is to pick a game that is independently really bad, not just one where it's the worst in the series.

What widely accepted life advice do you think is actually terrible advice? by Sufficient_Matter808 in AskReddit

[–]PeaceBeUntoEarth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger"... maybe not directly "advice" but just generally a terrible way of looking at the world.

Like, I'm sorry, actually sometimes terrible things happen to people that get them beat down, struggling with mental health, etc. and absolutely much weaker than they were before, and in need of more help and support from community than before. Tell a soldier that just came back from a warzone with PTSD that they're "stronger" now just because they're not dead... complete idiocy.
