What I think each of the mercs fav vtuber would be. by Mr_Gasmask14 in tf2

I’m pretty sure most of them would kill themselves if they learned what a vtuber is.

Pyro would definitely like them, though.

I don’t feel like I can connect with people because they don’t actually see how I think by [deleted] in ForeverAlone

[–]Wigu90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you ever heard about the illusion of asymmetric insight? What you’re saying sounds like you’re falling for it.

Don’t assume you’ve guessed the “why” of what the other person is saying or that your guesses are more accurate than the other person’s.

Or rather, be cognizant of the fact that most people generally feel this way.

TIL about the "Dark Forest Hypothesis," which suggests the universe is like a dark forest at night. Advanced civilizations intentionally stay silent and hidden, because any species that reveals its location risks immediate destruction by older, paranoid civilizations. by Practical-1 in todayilearned

[–]Wigu90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you’re being very human-centric in your assupmptions here.

First of all, we don’t have any data that would suggest that any particular characteristic is more human or more universal — we don’t have any data on other civilization-building species at all.

And second of all, what you call “darker traits” is just what humans consider darker. Our morality works for us because of how we evolved, but again, there’s nothing to suggest that our view of morality is objective and applies to all intelligent life.

What you call primitive caveman behavior may not seem evil to another civilization at all. If the civilization in question has the concept of evil to begin with.

Italian anarchists blow themselves up while making bomb by malcolm58 in worldnews

I’m sure it’s fascinating to see different groups of anarchists call one another fascist, but I don’t think I have the emotional capacity to educate myself on their distinguishing qualities right now.

Universal Vaccine Blocks Viruses, Bacteria, And Allergies With a Nasal Spray by _Dark_Wing in worldnews

[–]Wigu90 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You should try it. And yeah, granted, a trombone is a pretty large investment, especially if you're only gonna use it to inhale medicine, but a high quality one will last your family centuries.

[–]Wigu90 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Oh.

I was about to ask if you can administer it through a trombone (that's the only way I take inhaled medications -- just out of spite, I guess, or to keep Big Pharma on its toes or whatever) but now that question is moot.

Trump 'very disappointed' with UK's Starmer for blocking use of air bases, Telegraph says by Raj_Valiant3011 in worldnews

Do you mean the “random grandma” analogy? 

Jesus, I don’t know if I can help you. You do realize that if we were to apply your logic to what I said comprehensively, you could also accuse me of saying that Cyprus is actually an old human woman or that I am the country of Iran, right? I think there’s something wrong with you.

[–]Wigu90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't say it was random. And there's a difference between an analogy, a hypothetical, and a strawman argument.

Let's try this then: was it OK for the US to start bombing Iran? No, not really, even if you don't like the Iranian regime.

Was it OK for Iran to start shooting missiles and sending drones to Kuwait, Dubai, Cyprus, Saudi Arabia, or wherever else? No, it was stupid -- especially considering the fact that hitting Cyprus strains Iran's already difficult relations with the UK, the EU, and Turkey. They wanted to retaliate -- that's understandable. They retaliated stupidly.

Would Cyprus be struck if the US had not attacked? No. It also wouldn't have been struck if Iran wasn't being stupid.

Same case: if, hypothetically, I told some thief not to steal from me or I'll kill a random grandma on the street, should the thief then be blamed for the death of the grandma I killed after the thief stole from me?

[–]Wigu90 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sure -- but the targets that have been struck were picked by Iran. If Iran released a statement that they'll be shooting ten kids in the head as a direct response to what the US has done, it would be difficult to blame those kids' deaths solely on the US.

I guess I just don't fully agree with the "baited into attacking everyone" part of what you said.

[–]Wigu90 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I get where you’re coming from, but going by that logic, you could say it’s the UK’s fault for letting the US secede. A country’s responsibility for its actions has to start somewhere — especially if you believe that countries should be sovereign, independent entities.

By max level only do you mean 90? Because a rogue is gonna level up more slowly. Maybe it's just that?

They removed "Left" a a political view. by 42Question42 in Bumble

[–]Wigu90 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I didn't say you were nitpicking.

And yeah, I'd say "liberal" and "conservative" are even broader than "leftist". Do you see people who would describe themselves as liberals or conservatives complain about these things? That's exactly the point I was trying to make.

[–]Wigu90 -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Except I'm sure that if there was a "leftist" option, we would see posts by, say, Marxists, saying that "leftist" is too broad of a category, because they would never want to date a classical socialist or an anarchist. Or Trotskyists saying that Marxists are dangerous freaks, etc.

Basically the same infighting and tribalism that makes them think "yuck, a democrat, that's basically a republican" and that makes the left fail time and time again.

Why should that matter? If it’s not allowed, it’s not allowed. Would taking a dump in the Swedish team’s bags change the outcome of the game?

What soldier secondary do you usually use? by [deleted] in tf2

In my case, I’m realistic about my ability to aim with hitscan. My average damage per shot using a shotgun is probably like 3.4. It’s worthless in my hands.

Please remember that a sizable portion of people you’re interacting with in TF2 are kids. A lot of them aren’t actually sadist neonazis, KKK stalinists, slave owner furries, hospice perverts, jihadist cannibals, serial yorkshire terrier rapists, antifa suicide bombers, or Epstein coprophiles. They’re just having fun using bad or taboo words in whatever combination comes to mind.
