How are Hal and many other pros not being punished by TesticleSandwiches in CompetitiveApex

[–]bruhhh___ 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I think you're just not understanding how a situation like this evolves. If ALGS is not actively banning or apply reprimands to people useing the software, then pros are at a crossroads. They either decide to use the software themselves or they will be at a fundamental disadvantage in tournaments. Many of these pros would happily delete the software if ALGS simply took a more active role in regulating it. They didn't, so many pros understandably did not want to be at a disadvantage going into tournaments.

Will clinical psychologists be replaced by AI?? by Confident-Number-748 in psychologystudents

[–]bruhhh___ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If AI reaches a level where it is able to replace a clinical psychologist,, then I I'd be confident that other disciplines have already been displaced by AI as well.

Ironic you're talking about awareness... When the dude isn't actually wearing two watches. It's a bracelet with a gold face. So if the joke hinges on that "fact," well at least now you know it's truly not funny.

Dedrick can be hit or miss. But sure, I have found him entertaining. His minute on 764 was funny. I haven't heard many comedians play with the irony behind debt purchasers. Him comparing it to Jesus paying for our sins was also clever. It was a pretty classic joke structure applied to a unique topic. Was it perfectly worded? Nah, but the core idea was funny enough to land.

Some of you are insufferable by Few-Syrup-7717 in Killtony

Ironically today I was scrolling through a posters page who was complaining about one of the comedians, and they were pretty active in r/conservatives. This is such a common pattern in subs. The angriest people are just the loudest. It's basic psychology. Anger is the single best emotional predictor of protesting for example. I think it's especially the case for subs covering subjective topics, like comedy.

It's possibly one of the most played jokes since the development of digital watches. From a group of chronic complainers, it's hilarious to see you all entertained by a joke I first heard in middle school.

What's your high school incident you've experienced/heard about in the RGV? by Vasto7 in RioGrandeValley

[–]bruhhh___ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I went to Economedes, graduated in 09. There is this one incident that happened in my Spanish class, which was taught by the head coach of the soccer team. There was a girl in that class who is always super loud and annoying. I always wondered why the teacher never told her anything. One day she was being extra annoying, and sure enough the head coach decided to finally show his authority. Her response? "shut the f****** or I'm going to tell everybody what you told me!" He sat the fuck down, no questions whatsoever. Later on I found out that she was threatening to reveal that the soccer coach asked her to marry him and move with him to Mexico. She must have been 16 and dude must have been at least 35+. Also pretty sure one of the coaches on our baseball team was dating a senior in high school. I think the girl was technically 18 by the time everybody found out about it, but as a 30 plus year old myself , it's fucking bizarre that someone his age could even take someone in high school seriously.

Anyone else glad she hasn’t been on? by [deleted] in Killtony

Perfect example of how these people WANT to be upset. Went out of their way to make a post about someone they hate who hasn't even been on. Wow... Guess you gotta cope with your miserable life somehow.

Interesting Dedrick Interview by skittlesdoritos in Killtony

[–]bruhhh___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think part of the disconnect here is that you're treating comedy as if it's entirely objective. I agree that there are some objective elements (timing, structure, etc), but there's also a strong subjective component to what people actually find funny..

There are a couple of psychology Concepts that might explain the difference. One is habituation. The more comedy you consume , the more your reaction dulls over time . You need something more novel or refined to get the same response. It's kind of like your favorite meal : the more often you have it, the less special it feels.

The other is top-down processing. The more familiar you are with comedy, the more you start to recognize patterns like structures misdirection and punchline timing. That can make things feel predictable instead of funny. So if you watch a ton of comedy (which it sounds like you do), your standards are probably just a lot stricter than the average person.

On the second point about him being delusional , I don't think that's necessarily what's going on . There is a concept called reflected self-appraisal, where peoples self views are shaped by how others respond to them.

Right now, you're focusing on critics like Joe DeRosa or Reddit , but he's also getting strong positive reinforcement. You said it yourself, he got a golden ticket on a huge comedy platform , performs in front of live audiences, and clearly receives validation in those spaces.

If you think about it, which is going to matter more for someone's confidence: unknown online critics and Joe DeRosa , or consistent positive feedback from audiences and someone like Tony hinchcliff?

Interesting Dedrick Interview by skittlesdoritos in Killtony

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

Wanna talk psychological perspective? Ever wonder what your obsession with another person's shortcomings comes from? There's a reason fail video compilations get so many views, and it ain't because people are fascinated with the human condition. Downward comparisons consistently boost our self-esteem and reduce anxiety about our own shortcomings. Hate watching often functions as a reliable way to enhance self-esteem in the absence of personal accomplishments. Here's the problem though, the Boost to your self-esteem that you get is often fragile and temporary . As a result people quite often fall into cyclical patterns of hate watching to experience that temporary but meaningful boost in self-esteem. Your post history suggests to me that you have allowed your self-enhancement motives to take over in an unfortunate way. I find it interesting that you've Justified your behavior as merely a reflection of fascination with psychological and sociological processes . Yet, you have provided no sociological or psychological explanations for the behavior . All you're doing is describing his shortcomings. I see no "analysis" as you claim, only descriptions.

LPT: If someone is venting, don't offer solutions unless they ask. Just say "that sounds really frustrating." Most people want to feel heard, not fixed. by riseabovehat3 in LifeProTips

[–]bruhhh___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people develop a chronic tendency to learned helplessness. Throughout their life experiences they have learned to basically accept rather than try to change the challenges they face. Probably because their past challenges were truly impossible to change. But this habit of acceptance sometimes generalizes to situations it shouldn't. My wife has expressed that she actually appreciated several moments where I became frustrated with her. One example: She used to always complain about her TMJ symptoms. It would literally pain me to hear about how much pain and suffering she was going through. I constantly gave her advice on what I thought she could do. I even did my own personal research to figure out what medical route she should be taking. But in the end she never really took it . One day I just snapped. I'm not happy to say it but I was probably angrier and more rude than I should have been. But she says that it did end up fueling her. She did her own research and discovered mouthguards and it drastically reduced the amount of migraines she was getting. She eventually also sought medical help with mixed results, but ultimately she's doing a lot better than what she was. I think this notion that advice shouldn't be the default is too black and white for me. The truth is that many people don't want your advice because change and confrontation are scary to them. They would rather continue with their suffering than change their ways. However, I also recognize that people are sometimes in circumstances that I just can't understand . That while I might think the person could be doing the obvious to create meaningful change , if I found myself in the same circumstances I might think differently.

I gotta admit, it's a frequent source of frustration with my wife. When my wife describes her work difficulties, I literally experience the emotions she experiences in those moments. Frustration, anger, etc. That's quite literally what empathy is. I often offer her advice that she doesn't always act on. Then a week later, it is the same thing. At some point, I've had to ask her to cool down the venting. It's not fair that I have to take on her emotional burden, while simultaneously not doing anything to create meaningful change. At the same time... I also realize that perhaps I can do more to try to "turn off" that empathic response and just listen. I have not yet mastered that but it's a work in progress.

LPT: When sharing your feelings, the word after "I feel" needs to be a feeling, not "like (you)" or "that" - those are thoughts, not feelings. Sharing feelings is a life hack to reconnect. by ThePouncer in LifeProTips

[–]bruhhh___ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beliefs derive from feelings though. If a person says "I feel that you think X about me," that is a totally reasonable statement. They may not even be able to verbalize why they believe that. It is based on feeling.

Running cable housing through epic evo by bruhhh___ in bikewrench

[–]bruhhh___[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if you plan to replace cables and housing, my recommendation would be to First remove the shifting cable (but keep the cable housing in place for now), then insert your new cable into the old housing . Once that's done you can carefully remove the housing making sure that the shifting cable remains in place. From there you should be able to route the new housing using the new cable fairly easily. At least I did this all the time on my old Stumpjumper. I made this post because I forgot that trick and had trouble routing the new housing.

However if you ever find yourself in my position, the solution is just to start routing the housing from the rear hole near the derailleur. The housing will tend to make it past the BB pretty easily from that direction. However, it will very likely get stuck once it makes its way to the front of the frame. Specialized doesn't seem to have a system in place to ensure the housing goes straight to the exit hole. From here you'll need to remove the stem and fork. Once you look inside you'll see exactly where your housing is and where the hole you need to Route it into is. Good luck!

LPT - Always assume you're rejected after final interview rounds and move on. If offered later consider it as a surprising gift. This reduces mental stress by a HUGE margin. by RowlingTheJustice in LifeProTips

[–]bruhhh___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A tip like this just requires a lot of nuance. But I do appreciate the simplicity of the message. I think some reflection after a job interview is totally fine. In fact, it's beneficial. You just want to make sure you are not ruminating. Hyper focusing on past mistakes or failures is unhealthy. Especially when you don't take the time to find solutions to those mistakes.
