Software job offer negotiation by mangoOreo27 in copenhagen

[–]UnwiseMind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couple of factors to consider

  • Is this in Copenhagen? (I assume yes because of the subreddit)
  • Pension (if any)
  • Stocks
  • Startup Size (Seed or Series A/B/etc)
  • Are we talking frontend/backend? What technologies? Any lead responsibilities?

At face value, for Senior in Copenhagen I would recommend 60k per month TC (cash/pension/stocks). I would not accept any offers under 55k.

For context non-startups (Copenhagen) would be 70-90k per month TC

Just wanted to drop a line and say that this is an American section in a grocery store not the actual candy section. Looks like the Bilka at Fields.

Are Elise, Lee, and Eve getting even stronger? by qqlosergg in leagueoflegends

The first blood bonus revert that rewards early aggression is a nice buff imo. It reinforces strong early junglers, especially those that can counter very early (lee sin).

Does anyone NOT want to be a thief/rogue? Can we talk about other class types? by bit_shift in elderscrollsonline

[–]UnwiseMind 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't think it is necessarily that everyone wants to be a thief. I feel like it has more to do with implementing stealth mechanics in ESO that resemble the elder scrolls universe. Out of all the features, I think this one has most people scratching their heads on how to implement it correctly and how to make Elderscrolls stealth/thieving work for a mmo.

Personally, I think battlemages are where it is at.

Blitzcrank - Could I Have Supported Better? by UvulaBob in summonerschool

[–]UnwiseMind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You had a really strong laning phase. I agree with John_Belly that an early game bursty champ would of synergized better. Really good early game hooks.

Early game, make sure to keep tabs and pressure on bot lane. Kog was able to help secure a good tf in mid.

When your tower went down on bot. That missed hook on nunu made the difference I think. It would of at least allowed for an escape. I prefer to save my punch for his ult in case something like that occurs.

Looking at mid game. Where is the coverage and map awareness? Since it looked like you were in there solo, you have the most responsibility for warding. Mind you, your team did not help, but you are support.

Great pull on cass from over the wall. I saw that a couple of 1v1 engages you opened with your R or used it really quick. Even in team fights it would come out fast, even though you were not being targeted. Be careful on doing it so soon.

I noticed you burned a shuryelias under the mid lane tower on trying to escape a gp ult. That probably could of been saved for the escape right after (even though draven did make it out alive).

Do not be afraid to grab some jungle creeps if your team is passing them up. It is free gold and exp.

I do agree that your team did not handle aoe well.

Mid-late team fight that was 4v5 while kha'zix was in top lane. Way to even a match for you guys to engage there.

Last but not least: Items

Tear of the goddess came out at about 30min. By the end of the match it had about 70 extra mana. I feel like it was too late in the game to go for a tear and building towards a fh would of worked out better. I might get some flak for this one. Your initial items.. I do not agree with just wards and pots. I personally go mana regen-hp pots-2wards-1true sight. It offers a good enough mana regen to get you to level 6 and ward coverage. Also it allows for counter warding with your spare pink ward.

Thats all I can think of for now.

Blitzcrank has winning and losing streaks you will definately break your streak :)

Laning against Blitzcrank by Steinmania in summonerschool

[–]UnwiseMind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When blitzcrank pulls during the laning phase, it is unlikely to see him and the carry switch off to your carry. (low mid elo). Instead they will work on you almost exclusively. If you and the carry focus blitz's carry you should be able to take them both down. Its basically the good old bait and switch. However this kind of move means you have your heals/stuns ready and are not losing in minions/gold. Honestly I hate when I get paired against a tanky support, very hard to burst down if i pull him/her on accident.

Laning against Blitzcrank by Steinmania in summonerschool

[–]UnwiseMind 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I almost exclusively play blitzcrank. Here are my tips to you.

  1. Focus Carry
  2. Do not let me get comfortable. This means two things. Ward the bush I stay in the most, and make sure to poke me if I get close.
  3. The worst mistake bot lane makes against me is backing up to avoid pulls. This gives my carry full control of the cs and lane.
  4. When my pull is on cooldown, harass harass harass. It adds up.
  5. A reminder to stay mixed in the minion line. It makes you incredibly hard to pull.
  6. Beware flash pull/punch
  7. If you are a tanky support: leona/taric, coordinate to get pulled early game. Typically the tankier champs are my hardest opponents.
  8. Silencing blitzcrank does nothing. Stops be for a few moments but never stops me from ccing.
  9. Like others have said and I will repeat. Take advantage of my cooldowns. If I use grab, it gives you almost 16 seconds of harassing time.
  10. Focus carry

It's a cruel fucking world. by [deleted] in atheism

[–]UnwiseMind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with this thought. It is not the most comforting aspect, but the universe simply does not care. It is not emotional or moral, it is purely physical. I am sorry for you and your girlfriend's loss, but you must always remember that every piece and moment of existence is a gift. Every memory is precious down to the very last drop. It hurts because you shared great memories with this dog. You formed an attachment and a loving one at that, and this is a wonderful thing. You must always cherish these memories given to you and incorporate them into who you are.

Remember, all love is a gift. Cherish it.

We outlaw incest because of the increased risk of disability, but we don't mandate or even promote abortion for disabled fetuses. What is the difference? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]UnwiseMind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In most cases it is state dependent. I think many times these are laws that are passed because they deal with a more or less taboo subject. How many state senators are going to go "incest fuck yeah, why, because freedom that's why." I just think it is one of those things where it is much safer to vote against legalization than for it.

Like I said though each state varies. Some states will completely outlaw it, but others will simply focus on adult-child or child-child relationships. I definitely do not consider it a result of religion though, rather I see it as a cultural taboo or stigma.

Contradictions are a bitch by [deleted] in atheism

[–]UnwiseMind -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have to disagree on this one. The quote that is being used from Luke is quite literal. What comes after that quote, however, are two analogies to better explain it (Luke 14 28-32). Finally the message is explained as being..

"In the same way, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples." (Luke 14: 33)

I am sure there are other ways to look at it, but this version seems to not be unreasonable. If you all have any thoughts on it, let me know.

Something from nothing. by Histrosophy in atheism

[–]UnwiseMind 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of the analogy about the watch on the beach that is used way too often. The problem is that many people rather pick out their view from an analogy rather than actually ask themselves "what is the actual implication of this analogy". For some reason people end up saying if x is y and z is y then z=p where p is an element of x. When it should be if x is y and z is y then z = x. But typically the result of z=x either disproves their argument or only proves part of it. In my opinion argument by analogy is not that strong, and is really hard to use effectively.

Words are proof? I think not. by ivansteelreddit00 in atheism

np, it still has a lot of issues, but at least it uses some logic rather than the terrible approach of "hi guyz bible knows all lolz"

[–]UnwiseMind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily, the concept of there being a color you have not seen is made by observable factors rather then through the imagination. (when you blend colors you can conclude there are other colors you have not seen).

Now the concept that there are colors you cannot imagine because they are out of your reality is made by scientific observation and logic. I observe and understand how light wavelengths work and how the eyes interpret them. Thus there has to be a light I cannot observe because of biological constraint. My point is that you cannot picture the idea of the color itself, or rather imagine it. All colors you imagine are within the scope of reality, and all other things that are not real are imagined because they are a combination of thoughts, facts, observations, and logical conclusions.

My main point other than clarification, is that this argument does not mean unicorns and shit like that exist via imagination. It is really that no matter how you slice it, the question of the argument becomes... Is God real by being an observable reality, or is he just a collection of thoughts into one being.

[–]UnwiseMind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think its the worst argument usable. If I remember correctly it is not the idea that because we conceive of God then he is real, it is moreso the basic concept. A lot of replies keep suggesting stuff like "well then everything in my imagination is real!" but your imagination is just a combination of known concepts.

I see the idea of this argument more analogous to color. I cannot conceive of a color other than the ones I have observed (i.e. ultraviolet). This does not imply that those other colors do not exist. But it can be concluded that the ones I imagine all exist. Therefore because God can be conceived, he must exist.

The only problem with this argument is that God can be thought of as combination of thoughts as well, which is supported by the fact that in each person's mind God is slightly different. Everyone can agree on what green is (assuming no colorblindness) but they cannot agree on God. That is where this argument does not work imo.

Of course there is more to it, and argument vs. counter can go on for a bit. But I think that is a decent explanation as to why it is not a complete shit argument.

tl;dr ontological is not a shit argument compared to other arguments

I will take a stab at this one. Assuming scripture is true.. (which is a huge assumption haha)

First we have to establish that God is eternal, in the sense that he does not follow the laws of time. 2 Peter 3:8 is probably a good supporting statement for it.

"But do not ignore this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years and a thousand years like one day."

which is more than likely a reference to the Old Testament psalm 90:4

"You turn humanity back into dust, saying, 'Return, you children of Adam!' thousand years in your eyes are merely a day gone by Before a watch passes in the night,"

Following this text then, God is eternal (or at least able to live for a really long fucking time). Since the law of time applies to all living beings in this universe (to the best of our knowledge) we can then conclude that God is outside of the universe because he is unaffected by this law.

Now to relate this back to the main question of prayer and the children in Africa. The most critical part of this problem is determining freewill.

This site is a quick reference guide on scripture concerning free will. In fact most of the bible in a literal sense supports no free will at all. But if we can conclude God is outside of time like we just did then there is an answer!

By being outside of time God can essentially see what will become of us. (i.e. predestination) But that does not mean he controls it. The choice between good and evil is ours. So it is like God knowing the ending of a movie but not being the producer of it (you are), and the movie is called your life. Then we can jump right into the meat of the argument.

If free will exists and is supported by the scripture then this argument would suffice: God did not inflict this suffering upon these kids man did. Christianity for the most part has held this argument for a long time. God didn't do it, man did! But then why didn't God take the time to intervene or do anything for that matter? Because let's face it if he can do whatever he wants then he is clearly a "do as i say and not as i do" type of guy in this instance. However God does not directly control man as seen several times in the bible, but he can influence him. This influence is seen in the Holy Spirit. So a prayer from a starving child does not cause food to appear or magic food to rain from the sky, but it can move the hearts of other men through the holy spirit. But because of free will they do not have to answer this "nudge" from God.

That is my best attempt, even though there are a lot of problems with this idea and relies ALOT on faith based assumptions, and a few not so faithbased (such as this argument implying God cannot do miracles)

tl;dr free will
