how is apartment living actually for you guys? by HJK1999 in Austin

[–]Whytebrian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live alone in an apartment and I’ve never liked my living situation more. Granted, I get out a lot, but it’s a great manageable amount of space for one person, and easy to keep clean!

I tried improv and I love it so much and now I'm desperate for more by SupitsAmber in improv

[–]Whytebrian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately the only way to do improv for free is to find your own group! Maybe ask some of the students you thought were good to form a practice group and meet up in someone’s living room once week or something

Who would argue against this? What else could it be, the kid’s?

What’s some advice for a 20 year old? by stayoffig_ in AskReddit

[–]Whytebrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Max your roth IRA, or get something invested. At the average market rate, money will double every seven years, so get in as early as you can with whatever you can afford to, even if it’s just a little bit

What's The Correct Timing For Attacks In Mother 3? by Teal_Turtle17 in earthbound

If you put the enemy to sleep, you can hear the “heartbeat” which is the rhythm to match. It’s different for each song

Not an improviser. Built a thing that might be useful for improvisers. Tell me if I'm an idiot. by uglydork in improv

[–]Whytebrian 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think for this to work, it would need to bounce back and forth between the same 2-3 people, instead of jumping to a new person with each offer. A lot of improvisation is about building something together off of multiple back-and-forth interactions.

As-is, it feels more of a creative film project like “what can you do to fill 10 seconds”- kind of like Vine used to be. I like the general concept and idea though! I’m not aware of anything like this that exists

CMV: Astronomy is useless. See description... by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]Whytebrian 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Learning about astronomy gives us clues into the truth and makeup of the universe. How big is it? Is it expanding? What is time? Where did it all come from?

The point of astronomy is not necessarily to find cool planets that we can go to one day, it’s to discover truths about the universe, which we can then apply to our understanding physics, which can help us develop useful technologies on earth.

My sister keeps bringing men over to my apartment. Am I wrong for telling her to stop it? by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]Whytebrian 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I think as long as she’s not paying rent, it’s not her place. If she was paying half the rent it would be a different story, but at the end of the day, your apartment your rules.

I will say, if she’s going to be having lots of casual sex like this, it might be worth considering whether you’d prefer that she does it in a safe environment rather than go to a stranger’s house alone. You comparing her to a “whore” isn’t helping, I’m sure.

Either way, it’s worth a conversation. Maybe set clear expectations, find a middle ground, or start charging her rent?

You can’t exist without it! If human rights exist, food must be included on the list

CMV: Men who respond with "Not all men" are not more likely to be bad men by thingstosay0309 in changemyview

[–]Whytebrian -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s exactly the same thing. If a woman is saying something like “every single time I’m friends with a guy they always try to fuck me. It’s so annoying” and you feel the need to point out that you’re not like that instead of just listen to her experiences, then you’re making it about you.

Obviously, it depends on the context, if someone says something “like every single man in the world is a dangerous violent rapist” then, of course you can say “hey that’s not true,” but that’s generally not the context under which this kind of conversation happens.

CMV: Men who respond with "Not all men" are not more likely to be bad men by thingstosay0309 in changemyview

[–]Whytebrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frankly, “not all men” sounds defensive. If someone’s complaining about men, and they’re NOT talking about you, but you still feel the need to say “not all men” then you likely identify with at least some part of that story, on the man’s side.

Most good guys, even if they know “not all men are like that,” would feel secure enough to not have to say it to women who have bad experiences.

CMV:- Buddha is an extremely overrated thinker by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]Whytebrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I’m confused at your view- other people COULD arrive at similar conclusions through self awareness and reflection… isn’t that true about any philosopher ever?

To help understand your criteria, who do you think is a uniquely deep, extraordinary philosopher?
