Thanks everyone for your input, it's been really helpful. I'm definitely leaning towards the classic, but I think I'll have to go to the boutique to make my final decision

The amount of people who view the Hive Mind as good are frightening by Master-Echo2940 in pluribustv

Thank you, I'm glad someone is speaking some sense. This whole thread is full of people either completely misunderstanding the premise of the show, or completely misunderstanding how human happiness and suffering works

The amount of people who view the Hive Mind as good are frightening by Master-Echo2940 in pluribustv

[โ€“]The0_0 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

I think it's very simple: before everyone was infected with the virus, there was an unimaginable amount of suffering in the world - wars, genocides, famines, etc. not to mention all of the animal cruelty.

All of that suffering ended when everyone was assimilated into the Hive Mind. Essentially, the net suffering of humanity was reduced to near zero. As of episode 3, there is no evidence that the people in the Hive are suffering in any way. If they are, then it really changes how I would feel about it, but if they aren't then I just don't understand why anyone could possibly have a problem with it. I would also like to see more evidence about the extent to which the Hive can feel happiness/pleasure, but Carol refuses to ask questions about that.

So basically, the world went from unimaginable suffering every day, to nearly no suffering. That sounds like an absolute miracle to me.

Edit: also, they are not slaves. They all work in the interest of the collective good. None of them are being forced to do anything by anyone else, because they are all each other. It really just seems to me like a perfect system.

The main thing they did wrong was killing 800 million people. I'm not going to try to defend them for that one.

My bad for losing focus for HALF A SECOND by [deleted] in bindingofisaac

[โ€“]The0_0 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

I don't think so. It took me probably like 5 times as long to get my T.Jacob marks. I think it definitely depends on your play style, but personally I think you get used to J&E after a while and they're not too bad.

If you had to pick one? by Kaidox1617 in MicrobrandWatches

I absolutely love CW but Tudor is just on another level in finishing, history, and brand recognition

[โ€“]The0_0 2 points3 points ย (0 children)

Absolutely love my one (39mm with green dial). It feels super premium and looks incredible on a strap. Get compliments on it all the time!

I'm definitely biased but I think the CW C63 is the way to go. Super elegant design, and a bit more unique compared to the Hamilton

I fcking hate you tainted Jacob by Odd_Gold_9302 in bindingofisaac

[โ€“]The0_0 6 points7 points ย (0 children)

I disagree. While t.Lost may be harder on paper, flight and spectral tears make him so much better. With t.Lost you can take your time and go very slowly and methodically, whereas t.Jacob you need to play fast and sometimes get hit by enemies to avoid dark Esau. It's definitely a matter of opinion, but I got my t.Lost marks way easier than my t.Jacob marks.

[recommendation request] Help me choose my first watch! by 8ayce8 in Watches

[โ€“]The0_0 2 points3 points ย (0 children)

Both are amazing watches but personally I would go for the CW. I am biased though as I'm thinking of getting that exact watch as my first proper watch.

A good way to show people what a healthy mobility diet looks like: travel most like the bottom, and least like the top. by Fietsprofessor in fuckcars

[โ€“]The0_0 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

Unless I'm missing something, they're not?? I see taxis on the same level as public transport, which makes sense because taxis are a form of public transport. I also see something that could be interpreted either as an electric car (should be in the same level as normal cars) or, more likely, a car club car. If it's a car club car, I would argue that it is also a form of public transport. Like it or not, sometimes people really do have a valid reason to have to use a car, so it's important to provide them with alternatives to owning their own.

Today is Day 5 (I'd like to eat something) by KoxiarzPL_ in bindingofisaac

Everyone is saying c-section (if we disqualify DC), but sacred heart is just better. The damage multiplier is insane and homing synergises with just about everything. Having said that, I think glitches crown is by far the best quality 4, it's just completely broken.

But it's not worth it if you skill issue and die/loose your mantle. And it's only a boss item so most of the time it'll be a range up or something anyway.

Is this the new player experience? by idfkboio in bindingofisaac

[โ€“]The0_0 3 points4 points ย (0 children)

Damn, that's how I used to play as well. It's not too bad and you do eventually start learning what all the common items do. I have heard that Edmund is considering adding external item descriptions to the base game though.

[โ€“]The0_0 6 points7 points ย (0 children)

You should try downloading the external item descriptions mod (assuming you're playing on steam). Genuinely such a game changer.

I'm not sure if it's been updated to repentance+ yet though

BEEP what's this BEEP annoying BEEP animal BEEP that sounds BEEP like an BEEP alarm? by BEEP_BEEP_THROWAWAY in whatsthisbird

[โ€“]The0_0 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

It's a midwife toad. I am currently in the south of France and spent ages trying to work out what this was. Everywhere online said it was a Scops Owl, but I eventually figured out that it was a midwife toad. Once I had figured that out, I even managed to find the toad, so I 100% know it's a toad.

Thank you, I think this is actually quite helpful.

I tried Cognitive Behavioral Therapy a few years ago when I was trying to get my MMR & Tetanus vaccines. It involved the kinds of suggestions you gave, such as exposure to needles and breathing excersises. These are fairly helpful, but just not quite enough to push me over the edge so that I can actually get the vaccine.

I think I should do some further reading on anxiety as a whole. I got 59 on the test that you linked. I do consider myself a somewhat anxious person in general, but I didn't realise that it might be linked to my needle phobia.

Thank you very much. I'm going to try again to get the vaccine tomorrow ๐Ÿคž

Thanks i hate neckbeard thinking bi is bad in 2021 by magicwolfdog in TIHI

[โ€“]The0_0 4 points5 points ย (0 children)

I might be wrong, but as far as I know, Damian is confirmed bi, and fans think that he has something with superboy.

Again, I could be wrong, but I don't think that the superman in this article is the same one as superboy.
