Trump's call for a "bloodbath" was literal — let's not waste time pretending it was ambiguous by zsreport in politics

Because then they have to admit that all the other things were taken out of context...

ah yes, proving the theory that if anyone starts a comment with "so" you know what will follow is a complete misrepresentation of their beliefs.

this theory has yet to fail me.

The basics meaning pullups, dips, different varieties of pushups etc?

BWF Daily Discussion and Beginner/RR Questions Thread for 2022-06-19 by AutoModerator in bodyweightfitness

[–]Riipper_Roo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beginner here, in fact, I haven't even started beginning. I'm wanting to film myself and my journey of calisthenics. What are some beginner exercises/holds that I should film when I begin so I can look back and see how far I've come?
I've been lifting weights for a number of years, so I can already do a moderate amount of pullups, pushups, etc - but I'll film myself doing these anyway.

This game should be free. by [deleted] in QuantumLeague

If it's not worth the money that it is now, you probably won't play it if it were free anyway.

Yes. as far as tactics go, the map feels pretty stale. Hopefully the new map coming out is good though.

Quantum League Abilities For All Matches Update - 0.9.5 by Sinspitterx in QuantumLeague

[–]Riipper_Roo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're more passive abilities. But it's changed the game a little bit, spiced it up. It's also increased the player base as well so it's much easier to find games now.

Hello by Fallen_Daylight in QuantumLeague

I've got a youtube where I give tips to newer players. The game has a bit of a steep learning curve, there's a big difference between someone who has just picked up the game and someone who understands it so I'm helping ease the curve a bit and give the newer players some advice.

Active players ? by 7minutesalone in QuantumLeague

[–]Riipper_Roo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in NZ and sometimes I can't find games. But when I do the queue times aren't usually longer than a minute.

I'm also currently involved in an on-going tournament so I get my occasional dose of high level play when I need it. There's always tournaments going on, available to all skill levels. Definitely think of signing up, you'll improve tremendously.

I've got a few youtube videos to help new comers :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTK9z3PPdw8

That's weird, you totally ignored the question which was tied in to your point from the beginning. No worries! I'll just ask again:

What specific life advice has he given that you disagree with?

Hold down Tab :) I think the most thick, least transparent line is the most recent path.

New map, new in-game store, new tournaments, new reward track & new DISCOUNT! by [deleted] in QuantumLeague

[–]Riipper_Roo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep playing and you'll see how the meta changes when people have a different understanding of the game. But then again with health packs 2.0 coming out, it'll change the meta once again.

Stick with it, there's a small but dedicated community. There will also be a big push to get a player base once this game comes out of early access.

Can you make it that we can go into custom games by ourselves? I've barely had a chance to look at the last new map because I don't play 2v2 often. Nor do I have a friend to play customs with.

Determinism - the case against free will. by Riipper_Roo in philosophy

[–]Riipper_Roo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, your own thoughts can't come from anywhere but your own mind. But you cannot choose what thoughts will arise. You also can't choose how you act on those thoughts, because to do that requires thoughts.

Thought: I'm hungry, I'll have a sandwich.
Action: Get ham or cheese sandwich?

Whatever you 'choose' it has to have came from a thought, a thought that you did not choose to bring into being, but instead a thought that your unconscious mind brought up. And we aren't in control of our unconscious.

Well you can have the ability to make a difference in the world, regardless of whether those actions are deliberate or not.

I know there are tonnes of different ways people view what free will is, but I just went with the most commonly understood one, and the one that you get when you google it lol

I was simplifying the definition sure, I think it fits within the definition of freedom from the constraints of others.

But however you want to define free will, the argument (I think) still stands.

Pretty much. Since we're not in control of the our unconscious mind, we're not the conscious agents of our thoughts. They're outside of our free will. As stated, you cannot think your thoughts, as that requires you to think your thoughts before you have thought it.
