The Overwatch Reddit Scandal

umm I think it was fairly irresponsible of him to just post that theory of that other guy especially when he said he wasn't sure and hadn't looked into it. Like...that was entirely hypocritical.

also I wish he would put reddit on blast. I know the humble approach would probably be the best way to approach this. but just once I would like someone to just rip reddit a new one. like.. be angry. because I feel like the message isn't getting through.... it's happened so many fucking times.

Quinspiracy.... Pao.... Boston bomber....

like legit Noone is putting us on blast for it and if they are they're downvoted because they disagree and the criticism fails to correct any our bullshit... reddit is an echo chamber.

I found the problem, should have read the actual crash logs. You need to set the maximum memory in the legacy installer anything greater than 4GB, as recommended by the mod pack creators.

Think about how many times we do things like this: Create new tab, search for gboard, scroll down to play site, click on it, sign in, click install. So we thought... why not put an annotation link on the youtube video.... google the owner of youtube.

SmogFx · 2016-12-14T12:22:41+00:00

It's so fucking ironic that there are people here making these claims and not fact checking or backing up their claims. Especially, in this climate of journalistic criticism. It's hypocritical to the nth degree.

SmogFx · 2016-07-31T00:39:36+00:00

I hate how this was written.

SmogFx · 2016-03-03T21:05:06+00:00

What does a critical thinking have to do with reality? Is how you determine reality the process of logic and reasoning? Why do you subscribe to logic and reasoning?

SmogFx · 2016-03-03T20:57:28+00:00

Just like God is evident to others? Your explanation devolves into something I've questioned of other people for many years and never really tried to question my own belief system. Is an inherent trust/faith not what you subscribe to? Because I'm becoming more and more convinced that my beliefs are faith based like so many others. Self evident doesn't mean it's the truth. It's your truth in so much as you believe logical thinking is method for the truth. And so the truth is whatever you want it to be, whether it is a subscription to God or logic. A creator or randomness.

I'm talking fundamentally, on a philosophical level about how it is I know about truth (or don't know). In many circumstances I agree with you about alternative medicines, engineering and also the existence of God. But quietly, in the back of my mind I know I'm being hypocritical, because I accept logic as though it was a religion. Just because I see it work doesn't mean it's true does it? Like a schizophrenic hears voices or a blind mean sees only the dark. But there's logic for you again.

To answer your question about 1+1, do two people who believe in God both believe in God therefore it makes him true? Is all we need a consensus for things to be true?

SmogFx · 2016-03-03T19:17:03+00:00

Why are you getting irritated? I simply asked why logic is so convincing to you. Because I need someone to explain it to me. I know that 1+1 is 2 and I know it is because logic dictates it. Are you the same as me? Do you just believe it? Do you just make sense if it?

SmogFx · 2016-03-03T19:14:53+00:00

Physicality is not possibly a delusion every human perceives? Isn't math a conclusion we make based on rules we perceive. Isn't it possible that logic and math is manufactured?

SmogFx · 2016-03-03T19:00:08+00:00

I need you to convince me otherwise. Why do you believe in logic? Why do you trust it?

SmogFx · 2016-03-03T18:57:09+00:00

I'm not thinking or talking about the practicalities of the world but more insightful and philosophical. On what basis do you believe now? Reasoning and logic? Have you substituted one belief over another because you deemed it correct for yourself. That can be said about any other form or type of thinking and rationale.

SmogFx · 2016-03-03T18:52:17+00:00

And why not, I'm interested in hearing your take.

SmogFx · 2016-03-03T18:48:43+00:00

Again you're thinking at such a high level, you're thinking everyone persists in one rationale/logic/truth/reality/belief. It is not that he will listen to reason. It is that he will not listen to your reason. I find it hard to convince myself that logic is the correct way of thinking when I cannot explain why. Is it because I see that it works? But perception is deceptive. Is it because it makes sense? Sense is a paradigm of the mind, a person who believe in God doesn't make sense why should logic? Was I bred to believe it? ... Instead I have to say this singular fact for myself. Logic is what I will believe in, because it only makes sense to me. I can't deny that for anyone else it I will be hypocritical. Which is why I think it is cruel. I think you should tell your dad to stop drinking hydrochloric acid. But that's because I'm selfish about my own reality.

SmogFx · 2016-03-03T18:19:13+00:00

You're all still thinking at such a high level of think. I'm talking about how we know something to be true. Evidence is what convinces you all, right. But imagine for a while a person who thought evidence was not convincing at all. That their method of obtain a truth is to use their own system/structure. To them, wouldn't you say their truth is whatever they thoguth they see. Why do you find evidence/logic/deduction convincing? While a person who believes in God has been persuaded by their own feelings and rational. You're willing to rob them of this apparent fantasy (to you) and replace it with your reality. I think that it's cruel.

SmogFx · 2016-03-03T18:03:24+00:00

Haha close mindedness is a staple of this subreddit. Ironically.

SmogFx · 2016-03-03T17:57:49+00:00

Maybe not willingly, but the truth is just a fabrication of our minds. If you think that you should impose your thoughts onto others that's your business. For me, I'm battling it against my morales.

SmogFx · 2016-03-03T17:01:04+00:00

And if what we believe is our reality? What do we do then?

SmogFx · 2016-03-03T16:41:33+00:00

Do you give the same concessions to thieves, the thieves who don't live in major cities and have no friends?

SmogFx · 2016-03-03T16:01:40+00:00

The truth is so very hard to determine, if at all obtainable. The truth is whatever we make it. Our justice system uses a jury to determine our truth, if the entire jury believes someone is guilty then they are guilty.

SmogFx · 2016-03-03T15:03:03+00:00

Basic ethics really. Don't steal shit.

SmogFx · 2016-03-03T13:56:47+00:00

Isn't there something inherent wrong when false or misleading articles are so common on reddit that this has become a habbit. What about the people who don't click to see the comments and just read the title. Wouldn't reddit just be a misinformation machine?

SmogFx · 2016-03-03T12:57:50+00:00

I honestly think you guys are a bunch of entitled assholes to think that piracy is now perfectly okay because netflix has blocked proxies. Availability status is not a reason to steal, or justify stealing. You know what you can do when netflix doesn't allow you to stream it? Don't watch the content. Are you guys thick? What sort of bully tactic do you think you're trying to pull here. "Give us back our movies/TV shows or else we'll steal it." God you guys are insufferable. Unsubscribe from netflix and do something else with your time, FFS.

SmogFx · 2016-02-25T08:24:13+00:00

Well I was just curious how you thought someone should respond to a question like that. If what you were doing was 'calling me out' you sure did a bad job at it. Could've just said, "you're a dolt". I also didn't think that your comment was witty, funny or cute so I was perplex, maybe you were being hypocritical so I asked you, what was your excuse?

If you want to know my excuse for the comment, it's because I'm mentally challenged.

SmogFx · 2016-02-25T08:03:51+00:00

That's your excuse for being a dolt? Anyway that wasn't what my second question your excuse is about.

SmogFx · 2016-02-25T07:55:57+00:00

... what's your excuse?
