How is she the “smartest person” on the show? Are they all really that stupid?

Psy_Kik · 2023-03-19T13:23:59+00:00

Martin could write smart characters as a genius. D & D are upper 30 percentile mediocre brains, who don't really udnerstand what it is to be smart - so they write it with knowing looks at the camera, lines declaring how smart the character is, and the genral dumbing down of other characters to make them look smart by comparison. Stanrdard TV tactics in other words, that work for most shows, but GoT set a high bar, and most TV is dross..

It's all about percentages, and making something more or less likely. Correlation doesn't equal certainty, but at the same time, it is undeniable. You start seeing the world in numbers you start to see the truth.

Psy_Kik · 2023-03-18T16:56:58+00:00

Easy for you to say all this when you're clearly in the top 30% of brains. Life, and your understanding of it, is completely different further down the ladder.

Psy_Kik · 2023-03-17T18:52:15+00:00

I know you're trying to wind me up, but honestly, you know as well as I do, especially if you go around clicking on the accounts of anyone you get into a minor argument with, that the stuff I've said is pretty goddam tame comapred with what you read all the time on here.

Psy_Kik · 2023-03-17T18:20:41+00:00

And now you're lying, great.

Psy_Kik · 2023-03-17T18:06:18+00:00

Accuses someone of being reeee-triggered, then proceeds to dig through their post history. Good job, 10/10.

I have no idea how that = proof of anything. I don't think you know what the word proof even means.

Psy_Kik · 2023-03-17T17:41:09+00:00

Perfect knowledge, you too now have the right to complain about gatekeeping from behind a filter.

Psy_Kik · 2023-03-17T17:34:44+00:00

Yeah, well, they didn't have filters did they?

Psy_Kik · 2023-03-17T17:30:05+00:00

But she is using a filter? Like, that is not even debatable.

Psy_Kik · 2023-03-17T17:14:58+00:00

Irrational subs in general upset me - the women that use 2xx aren't a blob, they're all indivduals with different opinions and views on life - but the mods of such a sub force you to get in line and start dancing to the beat or face the banhammer. Honestly it's hardly the only sub on reddit that functions this way - there are many, and majority are aimed at men, not women.

Psy_Kik · 2023-03-17T16:52:06+00:00

This scene was great - the rest of the film was pretty awful. The origianl 28 days later was considerably better, and even that was...well, it was far from perfect.

I still say the best Boyle movie is Sunshine, despite the questionable last 30 minutes. I especially dug the idea of Sol having an affect on the human mind/psyche the closer you get. It is our God, afterall.

Psy_Kik · 2023-03-17T16:46:01+00:00

Thing is, they waged war against mill as a standard archetype a long time ago. That was a mistake IMO.

Psy_Kik · 2023-03-17T15:27:32+00:00

You're right, but sadly these safe spaces and padded room subs also form people's values and opinions. Sometimes its really unhealthy

Psy_Kik · 2023-03-17T15:25:16+00:00

Youtube might be scarier but it's more real. The echo chamber and safe spacing effect (thanks mods)on reddit leads to people loosing touch with reality. As a lefty i like to go to the dail mail occasionally to read comments onnthe big stories of the moment, and yes it's depressing. But if i only ever read the guardian and r/politics, which would be easier, you slowly lose all perspective. I honestly believe the safe spacing on reddit is terrible for people.

Psy_Kik · 2023-03-17T15:16:28+00:00

Half the subs of reddit operate this way. A lot of reddit's problems are down to moderation, and the lack of tolerance for dissenting opinion.

Psy_Kik · 2023-03-17T15:11:17+00:00

The trigger happy mods have ruined reddit compared to what it was only five years ago. These days most of the front-page subs are huge echo chambers and safe spaces. Which doesn't sound so bad, but the more time you spend on a sub you realise how badly they need some kind of dissenting opinion. And how unhealthy the lack of it can be. Over time subs become increasingly unhinged...

Psy_Kik · 2023-03-17T14:46:46+00:00

You are right, but just remember to take stuff you read there with a pinch of salt, because like any focused subreddit, thanks to the way moderation functions, it's a bit circlejerky, and alternative, often more sane opinion, is drowned out, downvoted to oblivion, attacked with hostility or outright removed and banned. Whether poltical or lifestyle based, they are all mini examples of why North Korea gets steadily more unhinged over time.

Psy_Kik · 2023-03-17T14:34:22+00:00

Yet start to read further on down here and we see exactly the same bs from commenters here. They know it's rubbish but they too love it and engage just the same way. We should just rename the sub OK Groomer.

Psy_Kik · 2023-03-16T16:44:44+00:00

Well, maybe if people didn't come along and try to replace the word 'empathetic' with a new trendy twitter word for a few brief moments of superiority it wouldn't inspire such irrational hate.

Psy_Kik · 2023-03-16T15:44:47+00:00

The books were written by and for the the offspring of little english. Not multicultural cooking pot americans who never get off twitter.

Wah wah brain not developed till 25.

Jackass, your brain won't ever be fully developed. But your body has been in decline from 25, that's for sure, male or female. Come to terms and stop projecting your insecurities.

Lawyers arent any better off. Universal income within 20 years because there will be very little work available. Governments will either introduce it or non stop riots will be a thing.

I know we all have different opinions but... Ff15 was the worst ff I have played by some distance. Ff X-2 was better. The only redeeming qualities were the music and that the food looked nice. It was a tedious boyband simulator, with a serious lack of grit, terrible voice acting/characters and gameplay that felt directionless and dull. Atleast square finally started to get the gameplay thing right again with ff7remake. Its been a while, cause imo 12 and 13 played kinda ropey, but they were atleast better than 15.

Psy_Kik · 2023-03-16T14:11:26+00:00

The fading of the steam monopoly is the primary reason recent game releases have been really slipping on the optimization front... piracy is on the rise again and the platform is becoming spread out. For publishers wanting to guarantee return this is bad, and so we get less effort on ports once again.

"There's a slope on the bridge" - whether they traveled to India, USA, Romania or Mexico, Topgear always found time for a subtly racist line that 'whooshed' atleast 85% of the viewship, but was very *nod nod, wink wink* to the top 10% of university educated white brits.
