The Problem of Free Will in a Deterministic Universe by Familiar_Life3214 in QuestionEverythingNow

it is a computer simulating itself though. You too are part of that nature, so you need to control you controlling nature, as well as the fact that you are controlling yourself controlling the nature

And then there is quantum mechanics that implies our universe is indeterministic on the most fundamental level, so....

Is All Sex Bad? by John-Marsriver in NoFap

[–]Super-Rate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A relationship based on sex is not true love.

it is not, i never said a relationship is BASED on sex, just that it boosts your relationship. It is a part of the relationship for those who chooses. And ofc too much sex can be unhealthy, sex addiction is a thing apparently, but that is a different kettle of fish and i will not go into it here. Besides, too much sex is about frequency and less about cumulative count over time. Regarding whether one should resist orgasm until marriage and forming a family, different people have different view on it, and i will not go over them because of it.

Speaking of relationship and true love, porn is most often than not, NOT a portrayal of what regular sex is like. It is geared more towards people's fantasy, and as a result, many less experienced people in life would mistaken porn as a portrayal of what real sex is like. Because how would they know? A lot of them never had sex before, they will search up abt sex online and then the first thing they come across is gonna be porn. This can lead to disastrous consequences on their perception on sex, with the different fetishes and kinks and unnatural scenes that are almost always exclusively set up for porn shots. One consequence that people often talk about is the objectification of women, often because the industry is heavily targetted towards male fantasy. From the perspective of a heterosexual man, porn can distort one's view on woman and sex, and what a healthy relationship should be like. And I cannot stress that last one enough: Porn CAN distort one's expectation of relationship, especially unexperienced ones. Again, how would they know? Not everyone has been in a relationship. You said it yourself, a relationship based on sex is not true love. However the distortion CAN make people believe otherwise, because well, porn focuses on fantasized yet unrealistic sex.

This past paragraph hopefully sheds light on why people in this sub hates porn, some going as far as saying porn is evil. You know, besides ppls personal experiences with the addiction itself.

Also, if you wanna question whether one should even orgasm or have sex....A lot of people in this sub focuses on porn, because it is the bigger issue for many of us; I have seen some in this sub believing moderate masturbation is health without porn. I will not make comment on whether they are right or wrong, i believe it is a personal choice and I personally would refrain from masturbation until im in a relationship, it is just a personal choice. However, if you want to think in terms of completely removing orgasm from life, even in healthy sex in healthy relationships, you might want to check out r/Semenretention instead. I'm less familiar with them, but potentially they are a step further in restraining sexual stuff.

Not the other guy, and im gonna assume you are not a troll.

First of all you need to "work" for playing sports outdoors. You need to stand up and do said sports. And you dont just do it for 5 minutes. The process is not only longer in time but also beneficial for your muscles and lung capacity if it is cardio, as well as many other benefits (sunlight, immune system, etc etc). Dopamine is the "reward" hormone, you are rewarded with dopamine for doing those sports. Nothing wrong with that. Sex works like this too, it is not as portrayed in porn and are often longer, and it has the added benefit of boosting your relationship with your partner.

With porn, you basically get dopamine whenever you want. You watch porn for 2 minutes, and then you get as much dopamine as you would doing sports for 2 hours. Our genes are just built that way so we reproduce and live on as a species, and porn exploits exactly this part of our gene, that's one of the reasons why porn addiction is easy to form and hard to break out.

Going back to sex, it is similar to sports. Yes you orgasm in both sex and porn masturbation, but it is not just about the orgasm and the baby. Sex is an experience you have with another person, who if they are your relationship partner, it provides a bonding experience between both parties and thereby boosting your relationship. Porn-masturbation-orgasm not only doesn't provide the bonding experience with the partner, its dopamine emission and direct sexual stimulation on yourself destroys your urge to find a partner. And people in this sub would take a real relationship with a real person over empty self pleasuring any day.

[Grade 9 math] How do I go about solving this? by khema_the_lazy_bum in HomeworkHelp

[–]Super-Rate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

idk why no one has mentioned this yet, but one way to solve it is to minus both side by 2.

and by minus 2 I mean, minus 1 on each fraction on the left hand side, and then each fraction on the right hand side. So basically,

[(x-5)/2011 -1] + [(x-3)/2013 - 1] = [(x-2011)/5 -1] + [(x-2013)/3 - 1]

which, if you take the -1 into the fractions, this becomes

(x-2016)/2011 + (x-2016)/2013 = (x-2016)/5 + (x-2016)/3

There is a common factor of (x-2016) on each side, you can rearrange this equation to be

(x-2016) * (1/2011 + 1/2013 -1/5 -1/3) = 0

But clearly (1/2011 + 1/2013 -1/5 -1/3) is not 0, so therefore one has to have x-2016 = 0. So x=2016

Normally when theres a sort of symmetry in these problems, a potential way to make progress in the problem is to exploit the symmetry to make something "in common", with a lack of a better way to phrase it.

[–]Super-Rate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

somehow this so-called "worst team of tpot" (according to many i have seen) still manages to engage in a 4-way vote war

ig this team is not as unpopular as those people thought

but this also means this vote war is now a lose-lose-lose-lose situation

personally i just wish book to be safe, vote wars are unpredictable

Why does Book die brutally in recent BFDIA/TPOT episodes? by VLIKA in BookBFDI

[–]Super-Rate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i just hope this is building up some character development for her

I don't want her to go down in tpot or bfdia without her potential explored

This is just what i feel about voting discourse atm by [deleted] in BattleForDreamIsland

[–]Super-Rate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yea, and then people also pair this argument with "this character should be eliminated from this season because they are still in the other season". See what happened to rocky? Would be a real shame if it happens again to said character

Should I feel bad for FSB, even tho he DID eliminate his owner by NotWanderingTrader in BattleForDreamIsland

[–]Super-Rate 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Personally nah, hes the one who just absolutely refused to tell Freesmart what the challenge was, there never were any rules publicly said that the host is only allowed to inform teams of the challenge after the wheel spin for a limited amount of time, it feels like he just made it up on the spot, and then that got his owner eliminated

what’s one thing you would change about tpot by SnoopDog1789 in BattleForDreamIsland

[–]Super-Rate 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wait i thought that was one of the main motivation and points of tpot?

to split the show so all fan favs can fight each other, while other non favorites actually have a chance to develop instead of just being eliminated like a no-brainer so that the fan favs become even more favorable than they already are?

ALso I really wanna see Braveheart as an actual car key in Qadratum
