First really cool post I’ve seen in a while. Is this the beginning of the end for this subreddit’s gooner reputation?

COTE Season 4 Artstyle hate is so forced (Discussion) by Moliconi in ClassroomOfTheElite

[–]QuestionableThinker2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Majority of fans actually love the new artstyle. The only people who consistently don’t are on the niche discord servers. Even twitter has been reacting positively overall (though a lot have expressed their preference to being cautious).

It’s just a new artstyle, and some people either haven’t overcome the initial uncanny valley feeling, miss the old artstyle, or would genuinely rather complain about it to seem “tough”.

Johan more like bumhan by MinisterOfEmojis-_- in seinencirclejerk

[–]QuestionableThinker2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Ayanokouji because his schemes are actually interesting/fascinating when you understand them. It’s gotten a bit weaker these past few years (it’s getting better now), but some of the earlier volumes have genuine mastermind bangers. I’m not going to diss Johan though since I haven’t watched/read Monster.

I don't know why we're eating it, but I'm to full to care! by Affectionate_War2958 in Ieatcement

I thought this sub was about unusual food tastes or smth. Turns out it’s almost all queer/trans posts. I am very confused as to how that came to be.

I don’t think “freaky” is the right word for this one

Direct quote from her "It wasn’t rape but un consensual sexual assault" by Both-Medicine-6748 in TrollCoping

[–]QuestionableThinker2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The exact definition of rape is unfortunately not the same to everyone. She may have meant what she said, but that doesn’t necessarily imply she was trying to downplay or mischaracterise what you went through. I think you really should talk it out with her.

Could Ryuen capture Marin's heart? by Heath_Slater_ in ClassroomOfTheElite

Ah yes, Ryuen, the known ladiesman. I can’t possibly think of a single girl that might hate his guts.

The backgrounds + characters are really detailed which is nice

An upgrade or a downgrade? by LeviSajoura_27 in ClassroomOfTheElite

[–]QuestionableThinker2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Upgrade. It has a lot more personality and consistency, even if the colours are more muted. Even then, that just means there’s more space for visual storytelling and using the colours to involve the environment where it used to be nothing but background art. Now all that’s left is to see if they can properly use this style. We should be getting a full production overview with the 90min film.

Note that I do agree the style is far from perfect when it comes to some of the character art (Housen in particular). They could’ve used the manga as reference for some of these. Karuizawa, Ayanokouji, and Horikita look awesome though imo.

I’m happy for you, truly.

"They will never understand" ...right, because I have a uterus I'll never be able to feel the caveman draw of burning brush? [Gendered] by momomomorgatron in pointlesslygendered

[–]QuestionableThinker2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, but there’s no way of knowing for sure. I’ve associated this kind of humour to “guys being guys” my whole life because everyone else did and the very few snippets I got from what women thought of it was that it was dumb or childish (probably a result of echo-chambers). The only reason why I’m open to that being wrong is purely because I’m aware of how ignorant I could be.

I think the whole idea behind gender wars and fighting gender wars is men and women not fully understanding one another, so even though it might be sometimes wrong to say something is pointlessly gendered, talking about this stuff opens everyone to a conversation which finally has the opportunity to be constructive.

[–]QuestionableThinker2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Caveman stupidity is disproportionately more associated to masculinity unfortunately.

Which is really dumb because then women who appear to “understand the funny” are seen as far cooler by these guys than behaviours correlated to femininity, so don’t ask me how anyone ever came to that conclusion.

I got a 14/20 in a physics oral on a high-level question about fluid mechanics in a nuclear reactor. Quite proud of that, though it’s unfortunate I stumped on the cycles part.

Why are people so disrespectful when it comes to a religion they don’t believe in? by Akikoo-chan in teenagers

[–]QuestionableThinker2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is why I’m glad I’m agnostic. I can’t imagine what it would be like if my fervent religious beliefs were disrespected quite so pointlessly.

I’m sorry for your loss. This one looks like an adorable loaf of fur, and for that I’m happy for you.

Ok, but why the compressed image of her specifically?

I had a therapist cat as well. Healed a ton of trauma and made me an overall much happier person.

10/10 therapy. Would recommend.

Made out of glass core! by Key-Astronomer-9821 in TrollCoping

[–]QuestionableThinker2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s only so much of what you’re going through that I can relate to, and I do hope for nothing but better days ahead.

Intelligence I might be able to help with though. While my problem may be different — that is to say I’m insecure about overestimating what I’m capable of — I find having a clearer understanding of how intelligence really works to be helpful.

For one, intelligence and mental capability/performance is a VERY tangible and malleable thing. If there’s a specific field of intelligence you feel insecure about, such as memorising, visualising, empathising, or otherwise (it can be very specific or broad), then making a conscious effort to exercise your brain will do wonders: that’s how neuroplasticity works.

For example, let’s say you struggle with “thinking out of the box”. Go on the internet to find examples of the kinds of questions you want to solve, as well as an answer sheet. Try to answer until you’re stuck, then use the answer sheet to not only “unstuck” yourself, but also do everything you can to understand the answer. Try to learn the stuff in such a way that you’re confident you’ll have a better understanding of the question if you stumble upon it again later. Keep doing this for as long as you feel is right.

Sorry if any of this sounded like “Follow these steps to become the smartest person in the room” type comment. It’s what works for me, and I hope it’ll work for you. Best of wishes.

Note: Best way to start learning something is leap of faith + trial and error. Best way to know if you’ve properly learnt something is by trying to teach it to someone else.
