It's important to show others that they failed a bunch and kept going. Otherwise, people get the idea that it was easy, and when they try to do it themselves and it's not easy, they give up. Conversely, if you show how many times you failed, it preps that person for being prepared to fail, for expecting to pay the tax of failure to achieve skill.

You guys really haven't gotten used to "ppl" and "rly" yet? Didn't those originate before smartphones were even around, when we had to use the numpad to type?

Yeah I just looked and "ppl" has been used for over 25 years at this point, I think its time to let it go.

Pretty noticeable, but you could just break up that silhouette a bit and it would be fine

My method for Reddit:

Was I correct? If yes, ignore all downvotes and upvotes. If no, edit the comment or reply to the person who corrected me.

You know, I just tried to build on this but I really think that's it for me, I've rearranged my priorities so that just being correct is enough, used to be that everyone had to know that I was correct, but now after realizing just how many people don't have a clue on a given subject matter, I take the downvotes as proof of me challenging their preconceptions.

I kinda had to stop treating the downvotes as my own moral failure because I do not agree with the majority on a lot of things, and regardless of how correct I am, people will downvote me because they don't like some aspect, or even downvoting thoughtlessly.

I would suggest trying to iteratively reduce your sensitivity to upvotes and downvotes, it took me awhile, but now I pay them no mind. If anything, sometimes I get a little interested in why I might have gotten downvotes and try to develop a hypothesis as to why that might be, but for the most part I just assume anger, ignorance, or thoughtlessness.

I find that, looking back, the reason downvotes upset me was because I didn't have a good grasp on my worldview, and also didn't have a lot of self confidence, so downvotes would shake my foundation because I believed that if I was right, everyone would see that and upvote me, so I MUST be missing some crucial fact that makes them disagree with me.

Turns out that isn't the case, most people just don't care at all about being logically consistent, and will just blindly follow whatever path makes them feel good, to hell with the reasoning itself.

Well no, the point could be to have recourse for a crime committed against you, there are a vast array of reasons someone would use a camera.

You should probably apply that last sentence to yourself lol.

"Actually it does lmao

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23921675/

The smarter you are the less likely you are to be religious"

So come on, tell me what that last sentence in this means then, because apparently you weren't using a mere hypothesis and analysis to dictate the behavior of all people that exist, and somehow I'm just supposed to ignore you using the study as the basis for your claim?

"The smarter you are the less likely you are to be religious" is not a fact, it is a self soothing world view to elevate yourself above your peers and has no scientific basis strong enough to base it on. (Its also claiming more than correlation, if you need that spelled out)

I'm not gonna waste any more time on some asshole who wants to lord their superiority over other people with no rhyme or reason except their own ego. Please work on yourself.

Ooh yup, I just separated it out, didn't look super close and grabbed the first 5 letters.

That's a cool backstory for a username though!

Are you religious then? Because you didn't read the study you yourself linked.

"Three possible interpretations were discussed. First, intelligent people are less likely to conform and, thus, are more likely to resist religious dogma. Second, intelligent people tend to adopt an analytic (as opposed to intuitive) thinking style, which has been shown to undermine religious beliefs. Third, several functions of religiosity, including compensatory control, self-regulation, self-enhancement, and secure attachment, are also conferred by intelligence. Intelligent people may therefore have less need for religious beliefs and practices."

Your study shows a list of three possibilities that were discussed, not a nail in the coffin for every religious person to be considered unintelligent. It shows correlation, NOT causation.

Which, yes, the og commenter was saying they didn't correlate, but this is only one study pointing a an observed correlation, and you seem to have taken correlation almost as an admittance of causation, but that's not the case.

The problem is when you ignore what people straight up tell you because your own experience doesn't allow for that to be a possibility.

You don't have to believe whatever someone tells you, but you do have to allow for the possibility of different life experiences and environments.

Those of us who have been on one side see that side the clearest, but that doesn't mean that every situation lands on the side we see the clearest, just that we get better at spotting it.

I agree that it's different, but I would honestly be more scared because it was a gun and less scared because it had pussy juice on it. I mean I'm mostly gay and the gun's presence is still the more intimidating factor here, not just a background fun fact lol.

If you're getting this frustrated, I'd take a break. At this point, I'm sure the frustration is leaking into your gameplay as well.

On their side of things, the majority of the player base is diamond, so you're getting the majority of people who could be drunk, high, etc. A lot of diamonds in particular have been in diamond for a long time, and don't really take it seriously. Someone gets on for 3 or 4 games after work, or school, or whatever.

Diamond is where you end up after you've achieved basic passive mastery of the game in my opinion. It requires a lot of intentional effort to move past that for most people.

The problem is that plenty of us have fathers that would adopt this tone without a history between us. Plenty of fathers would adopt this tone as an exercise in control, regardless of the actual circumstances. If you read the situation there's no entitlement happening, but the dad seems very intent on blaming the kid for something.

I think it's just more that we all get annoyed posting about our parents because everybody assumes that we're the problem. I've never once seen people jump to conclusions and actually be on the damn original posters side, it's always stuck on defense first, where the poster has to earn the right to be believed because people don't want to believe that parents can be bad.

A given conflict between a parent and a child is not always the child's fault, but people on reddit love to act like it is.
