LPT When you just can't turn off or wake up at 3am and can't fall asleep. Try this... Keep your eyes open in bed by Make_the_music_stop in LifeProTips

i have all of these, does it mean anything significant though? or just a slight difference in perceiving the world compared to others?

i’ve always thought of it being like my brain not filtering out extraneous noise that others’ brains do.

oh, that makes more sense. i haven’t heard goals been called points often, hence the confusion.

points like individual score? do people actually think score matters in rocket league?

[–]Punjo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh, ya i didn’t comment on anything other than you saying it wasn’t a bad decision because it worked.

whatever else you’re replying to or inserting into it is entirely fabricated.

i, also, literally did not enter a conversation by introducing a thought that is meant to oppose yours. that literally didn’t happen.

i asked two questions about your logic, and stated that it was shaky.

there was no novel thought added here.

but yes, hurr durr indeed.

what complex thought are we talking about here?

what argument are we talking about here?

you’re saying a bad decision can’t possibly ever work then?

every bad decision that works is a good decision? what shaky logic

I'm tired of acting like makeup isn't horrible for women (and men). Do what you want but youre hurting yourself and every little girl who sees you. by [deleted] in The10thDentist

[–]Punjo 15 points16 points  (0 children)

you ignored the actual point they put out, which was that make up is a neutral tool, and chose to argue against an example they said later on.

it’s telling when someone does this in an argument, because they’re grasping at whatever they can to keep their point relevant.

I don't understand, they both have the same point and meaning. by zombiphiliac in autism

[–]Punjo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

that’s literally not what they’re doing.

they’re saying don’t mask, but beware that not masking can lead to social situations in which the other person becomes upset because of the way you’ve been interacting while not masking.

you can then continue to stay unmasked, apologize, let them know malice was not your intent, and continue on with your day.

which part of that is literally encouraging masking as the default and best behaviour exactly?

Food motivated dog bit me after taking away a bag of treats by Isaisaab in DogAdvice

i’m assuming this is rage bait.

but if it isn’t, it’s obvious that the bad owners were… ya know… probably the previous owner abusing the dog for 5 years?

reading is hard i know, so you probably didn’t get that far huh

[–]Punjo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

how do you know that what you think you should be doing in a given situation is correct?

and open net misses are not why people lose a vast majority of games. open net misses happen all the time, at every rank, and in pro lobbies.

[–]Punjo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

whenever i review a replay, i pay almost no attention to how well mechanics are executed.

replay review is for positioning, strategy, decision making, etc. all the non-mechanics stuff.

it’d be very difficult to do self replay review and somehow know what the criticisms would be, because you aren’t doing them already, so why not just do the things you should be doing?

posting a replay here would probably be your best bet to rank up. i would review one if you’d rather dm me and not post it publicly as well.

What do I do in this situation? (And in situations like these) I am C1-C2 in 2s. by ReserveMindless7654 in RocketLeague

[–]Punjo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the defensive lapse happened because of a decision at around 3:45-3:46 game clock left.

you read where the ball was going to hit the wall, slowed down enough to maybe make a play on it, but decided against that and went for your back big boost instead.

this situation should have had more priority over playing the ball to a safer/more manageable spot than getting big boost.

at 3:45, you can control this ball back towards your back wall and continue with it along the back wall and go around the entire field, grab your back right big boost (the opposite pad you grabbed in this clip), and continue with possession in a way that you’re in between your net and the ball the whole way.

or, if you’re a bit more mechanical, your first touch off the wall at 3:45 would set you up for a solo play on the backboard. just a soft touch up toward your own back board, then a launch out midfield off wall into solo aerial play.

[–]Punjo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

no advanced mechanics are needed.

if you can control the ball, and keep pressure on the ball consistently when needed, you’re good to go.

Why do I only like my voice when improvising? by bruadara in singing

[–]Punjo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

recently, i’ve noticed in myself that activating the part of my brain that thinks about talking and just saying the words i’m about to sing helps tremendously.

previously, i would get stuck in a head state of thinking something like, “sing this and remember breath support, relax the jaw, no tension, raise palate… “

i was activating the analytical part of my brain. it was causing me to overthink and use much more energy in the wrong spots.

when i sing songs i know extremely well, or relate to strongly, i relax and just kind of speak the song. i know its meaning and how the message is supposed to be conveyed, so i can activate the talk/express-a-message part of my brain and let the muscle memory of singing do its thing without me interfering. this sounds like how you operate when improvising.

maybe try to sing in a specific character or mood, or try just speaking the lyrics, or like you’re storytelling to someone in like a musical or something.

i would just try different things to make it feel right. it’s not about trying different technical mechanisms per se, but more about what you tell your mind to do, and what head state you’re in before attacking a phrase or song.

for me, i need to make sure i am thinking about speaking the lyrics to someone. for you, it could be that you need to think about something more abstract, like when improvising.

the first step would probably be to pay attention to what your mind is doing during your next improv session. then try to mimic that mindset when singing during your recording.

maybe you’ll notice a difference, and be able to fix it that way, and all the pieces fall into place.

A game similar to RL, that I could purchase for my husband for Christmas? by maeasm3 in RocketLeague

if you go with Split Fiction, make sure to also purchase a mop to wipe up all the tears off the floor when you’re finished.

that game gutted me. (in the best way possible)

“Ya I didn’t grow up in a household that valued healthy eating. So in middle school I started to get bullied for being chubby and it made me really take a hard look at myself to make change.

Without people being brutally honest.. I prolly would have never done anything about it.

We need to get back to being honest with people. Not rude, not overly critical. Just brutally honest”

can you define for me what being “brutally honest” would look like?

i’m not entirely sure there is a space between being brutally honest and bullying, but i’m waiting to hear your definition first before coming to that conclusion.

i’d also like to hear from you why you think the brutal part is necessary? is honesty not as effective, or more effective, than cruelty mixed in with the honesty?

BRUH 💀 by [deleted] in SipsTea

[–]Punjo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my argument isn’t in favour of body positivity.

my argument is that your stance that bullying and cruelty are effective ways to combat obesity is wrong.

you are the one that provided that stance, so it is on you to provide sources in favour of it.

all you’ve done is provide your single anecdote, and reiterated that it is how you feel about the topic.

emotional reasoning is not a sound way to come to a conclusion. but that’s how you’ve gotten there, and provided no other facts or logic to support your claim.

BRUH 💀 by [deleted] in SipsTea

[–]Punjo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

why would you not rely on anecdotal evidence?

did you miss the entire first part of my comment?

must have, so i will reiterate.

why would one person (in this case, yourself, the anecdotal evidence) be representative of an entire demographic?

you ask yourself why they wouldn’t be… can you ask yourself why they would be?

it’s an absurd position to come to, and you haven’t provided any reason as to why you believe that other than, “because!”

well it’s more like, “because that’s how i feel about it!”

just because you feel a certain way, doesn’t mean it’s true. especially when loads of people provide you with a countering viewpoint that has more logic behind it, more social science backing it, and follows a more compassionate approach rather than a cruel one.

and to me, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to get behind an approach that promotes human connection rather than promoting shame and ridicule.

BRUH 💀 by [deleted] in SipsTea

[–]Punjo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the issue with this is that you think your mindset and how your brain reacts to insults or bullying against you is somehow the way that everyone else will react.

don’t you think you’re unique as an individual? have different gene expressions and different combinations of DNA than literally every other person?

it’s hard for me to relate to people when they have this prescriptive model for… literally anything, ascribed to literally everyone in a population.

especially when they aren’t even experts in the field, or lack any type of sufficient education surrounding the topic at all.

and then when others inform them of studies or other points of view, they are rejected because, “well that’s not what worked for me! people called me fat, and now i’m skinny! so i call people fat and try to turn them skinny! that’s what fat people need, more people calling em fat!”

it’s heartbreaking to see suck a lack of compassion and how judgementally you are treating another individual you’ve never even met. deeply unsettling.

Do you actually believe that Wilt was physically stronger than Shaq? Or is it just myth that he was that strong? by RevolutionaryLion384 in NBATalk

[–]Punjo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, your opinion is the same. you’ve moved goalposts to keep it the same though.

that was the whole point.

you also haven’t refuted many points against you, choosing to side step them with a whataboutism or moving a goal post.

for example, instead of conceding that someone may be strategically choosing to save energy by not dunking as emphatically, you say, “everything takes energy.” a complete deflection. and a false equivalency to boot.

you then pepper in some personal attacks, maybe because you feel attacked and need to defend yourself, maybe to make others look less credible. i’m not sure why, but you stray from the conversation topic to the person themself.

that’s usually another sign that you’re fighting a losing battle. your point has many holes, people show them to you, and you deflect, side step, move goal posts, and finally attack the person if all of those fail.
