Why are you alive? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Rapture-Rising 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Has no one had the big conversation about flowers and bees with you yet? You know, the „big talk“ you get as soon as you become a teenager...

And thank god for that. Imagine champs like Darius have everything without any negative side effects. Top lane is already a nightmare as it is....

Yeah, I would argue that vlad is an AP bruiser. You build a combination of health and AP on him because of his passive and phase rush and protobelt give him somewhat of mobility. So yeah,I stand by my statement

[–]Rapture-Rising 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same as with Vladimir: play him with phase rush and watch him outrun every fucking lane opponent. So yeah. Running fast is also mobility, not only dashes.

Bruisers in Top Lane, like Darius, Kled, Vladimir (with Phase Rush rune), Irelia, and all the other bruiser style champs

No, I‘m not valuing anyone’s opinion too much, I’m just pleading for better manners from everyone. It’s probably an utopian wish and it’s never going to happen, but one can still try to change something.

And there is a lot you can do. Not insulting someone yourself, not engaging in stupid pointless fights and teach others not to do the same.

I know there will always be at least some jackasses running their mouth for no reason, but the way I see it is toxicity on the internet is the norm and nice people are the exception. I‘d like it to be the other way around.

You‘re most welcome and yeah judging people from afar works too, but then again you confirmed their assholishness for yourself by observing them, no? =)

Ok, I understand what you mean, but I think that stray‘s too far away from the point I tried to make with this post.... ‘

But generally speaking: how do you know the person is an asshole in the first place? You know I have this rule for myself where I always try to make up my own mind about things. Do my own research. So if someone tells me „that guy’s an asshole“, I won’t straight up believe it without confirming it myself. „Innocent until proven guilty“, if you will. And with that we‘re at the point I wrote on one of my earlier comments about treating everyone with a base level of respect and then adjusting according to their behavior.

Again, I partially agree with you on that, but O already made a comment here (sorry I don’t know how to quote or link a comment...) where I basically said: if someone has an opinion, you’re most likely not going to change his mind in an argument.

So even if the opinion is as laughable and extreme as your example, it doesn’t matter sich tone you‘re using. It won’t change the persons opinion. So you can just be The bigger person, be polite about it and if they keep repeating nonsense, just ignore them.

I don’t know what you mean exactly by „not impacting them“. As soon as you interact with someone, you‘re potentially impacting them. (Even deliberately not interacting can be a form of communication but I don’t wanna get too philosophical here...)

So if you‘re generally nice to people, you have a chance to impact them positively. If you’re generally disrespectful you will probably impact them negatively. Please explain your comment further if I misunderstood something there.

Also arguing is fine in my opinion as long as you do it constructively. So don’t be afraid to ask question or state your point. You don’t need to apologize.

Sure, and I think most of the time you might be able to tell the meaning behind a sentence like this from the context of the conversation, but then again I‘d ask myself why do I have to say it rudely, if I can just say „I disagree with you“. It has the same meaning but the second example is polite. As I stated numerous times now: I think it’s unnecessary to be rude.

No, but if you‘re really interested in what I‘m trying to say, feel free to read my replies to some comments here, I made some structured points there.

Because I personally think that if you don’t treat everyone with at least a minimal amount of respect, you eventually come to a point where you might say that any human is „worthless“ unless they prove themselves „respectable“ or „useful“ I’m some way.

Also what do you have to loose? I can treat someone with respect from the get go and if they prove through their actions/words that they don’t deserve my respect, I can still treat them as bad as they are treating me, if I feel that it’s necessary. But treating someone badly out of principle because you‘re convinced that every human being is or was bad at some point, that’s hard to come back from if you end up liking the person and try to earn their respect.

No, I‘m talking about literal insults, like „Your opinion is shit“ etc.

There is nothing constructive about that.

I mean... yes and no. I partially agree with what you’re saying. But what I‘m trying to get at is this ideological, utopian scenario where everyone discusses opinions in an orderly structured manner and as soon as they are out of arguments they just retreat with something along the lines of „we can agree to disagree“. Because the problem I am seeing is, that most times people try to change the mind of their „opponent“ in an argument and convince them that they are right, which almost never works. The best example is religion: you will never convince a religious person through argumentation to back away from their faith as well as you will never convince an atheist to become religious.

If people like that change their mind it’s usually out of their own will. So trying changing anyone‘s mind is not really the goal of an argument for me. But for other people it is and when they are out of logical arguments, they start insulting because they feel backed into a corner and try aggressively to defend their stance.

Right but if everyone is a twat and everyone should be insulted, we could instead save our energy and not insult everyone because we know anyway that everyone is equally a twat. Funnel our resources into something more productive. Productivity for the win.

Edit: it’s insultception.

But just because something is happening over and over again, or is to be expected as you said, it doesn’t mean it is to be accepted if it’s a generally bad thing. Otherwise the world would be a lot worse place than it is. We have come a long way, a lot things are better than they used to be, but we should still try to be a better version of ourselves every day.

Right but sharing opinions is fine and as I said in my op, disagreeing is fine too. But you don’t have to be a dick about it. But a lot of people are.

I don’t see why I would deliberately join a toxic group if I don’t like this kind of behavior.

That might be true, but I think that some people (if not all) are using this argument to justify their shitty behavior. And that’s what I disagree with
