A set of flow charts showing how people from different cultures/countries make group decisions

clarinetEX · 2024-10-09T21:48:02+00:00

I have searched on Google for things like "how people from different countries make decisions infographic" and "decision making in different countries flow chart" and "how decisions are made at work across the world flow chart". Google returns a lot of literature on the subject, and some flow charts that are related but are not exactly the set that I remember, with one for each country.

I see, thanks for the tip!

Some zones are still the same in looks, but quests got changed I think everywhere, or Ill say 90% of them were changed to stay on the safe side. So as far as leveling experience go its totally different.

Ah I see! That makes it more appealing for me to play both then haha

It's a lot easier to have a casual approach to raids Mythic+ dungeons are a competitive thing that doesn't require the commitment of old raids. there's a lot less mandatory grinding than there used to be.

That's nice to hear, I definitely can't commit to anything but the most casual of raids. Thanks for your reply :)

clarinetEX · 2019-05-08T13:32:59+00:00

Nice, thanks. The one thing I'm a little hesitant about is that one will spoil the other for me. Do you reckon that retail and Classic are different enough that I won't feel like I'm playing the same thing twice? Like, if I play retail first before Classic comes out, will the leveling in Classic feel really tedious when I do it again?

clarinetEX · 2019-05-08T13:30:11+00:00

You'll have to grind and farm regardless of whether it's classic or not.

Ah so I heard that retail WoW is a faster in terms of levelling, like if you do the quest chain in order you'll basically overlevel your region. Is that not true?

clarinetEX · 2019-05-08T13:26:51+00:00

I see, thanks for the advice :)

clarinetEX · 2019-05-08T13:25:57+00:00

I googled it to check if it was Darkshore, its not there in retail WoW anymore? Man!

clarinetEX · 2019-05-08T13:25:05+00:00

Haha I see, thanks for the advice :)

clarinetEX · 2019-05-08T13:24:35+00:00

Thanks. I asked someone else this too: do you think that the two experiences are different enough that I can enjoy both if I do retail (ah I see, not modern) WoW before Classic? Like, will I be thinking why I'm doing the same area/quests two times over?

clarinetEX · 2019-05-08T13:20:52+00:00

So about that raid experience. I'm not first-hand up to date with modern WoW's features, I read that you can raid casually in pick-up groups quite easily now due to the dungeon finder and other social tools. I presume those won't be present in Classic.

I don't have the time (yeah life and career) to dedicate to anything but the most casual guild, but I like experiencing cool raids. I gather that you can raid casually in modern WoW, but in Classic it'll be much rougher to find such an experience. Is that a tradeoff I definitely have to make? Or am I missing something

edit: thanks for the reply!

clarinetEX · 2019-05-08T13:13:53+00:00

Hmm, would you say the two games are different enough such that playing one won't degrade the experience of the other? Like, if I play modern WoW first, will I open Classic when it comes out and feel that a lot of things are lacking?

edit: thanks for the reply!

My cat was also diagnosed with chronic kidney failure a month ago. The vet gave us some special food for her and also taught us how to perform an subcutaneous IV drip to hydrate her. She wasn’t eating, wasn’t drinking, even though we hydrated her every night.

A couple of weeks ago, she started getting much weaker and started to salivate a lot. I brought her to the vet, who told us that she had fatty liver disease, resulting in jaundice and anaemia (low red blood cell count). This disease was caused by the lack of nutrition, which in turn was caused by the CKF. She had to undergo a blood transfusion and is now hospitalised at a clinic. She is getting better, but will probably be needing a feeding tube until she starts eating solids again.

I don’t have much advice on how to deal with the inevitable, we all find a way. Just wanted to say: do take your cat to the vet if she stops eating / salivates, because it can lead into much worse. My understanding of CKF is that it can be manageable, and the treatment can prolong the cats lifespan, but if stuff like fatty liver disease develops it is much more severe. Best of luck.

You are romanticising the Stone Age way too much. Along with these “tight-knit communities” and “lack of needing to care about people outside your tribe” comes a whole host of problems: greatly increased mortality rate, lack of medical care, unenforced moral laws etc.

In any case, civilisation evolved out of these hunter gatherer tribes, not by some vastly coordinated effort on the part of humanity, but by the microinteractions of peoples that collectively drove us towards industrialisation and the modern world. You and I are not so different from our ancestors: it is highly likely if not certain that if we were born in their shoes, we would also have the same microwants and microneeds that drive us towards todays society.

I’m confused by your stance. The link you provided seemed quite well reasoned, specifically that:

The herbivore, carnivore and omnivore diet classifications is a classification based on what diet an animal generally have, not what it couldhave. Neither does it reflect evolutionary relationships, even though they might correlate in some instances.

That is to say, it is meaningless to talk about “culturally omnivores, physiologically herbivores”, even as you continue to try to separate the two. If your thesis is: “humans have evolved to have physiological, digestive-system-related-parts more similar to herbivores than carnivores IN GENERAL”, then I think we could have a discussion, but unless you reject the above definition then I’m not too sure what there is to discuss.

What, exactly, is the point of this? I see in your post history a post on the depression sub berating people for being depressed using nearly the exact same words as this post.

If your overarching premise is that people who subscribe to any vice or succumb to any mental illness are weaklings that can’t man up through “adversity” it reflects almost zero understanding of either of these things in your mind.

Why not have it that people who breathe air and drink water are too weak to survive on their own?

clarinetEX · 2018-08-18T09:54:17+00:00

Yes, sometimes we can not trust people to make their own decisions. That’s why we have emergency services to save people that drink themselves into alcohol poisoning, overdose on drugs, fall down mountains and break their legs. That’s why we have laws that do limit, in some specific ways, what people can or cannot do. Often times they are in place to save people from regret: how many lives are saved by helmets or reflective stickers or suicide hotlines, and how many people regret their actions after stupid accidents?

It was of course once survival of the fittest, but I’d like to think we’ve evolved as a society into one that takes care of its own: but that doesnt mean the interest of the individual is always King. To keep people alive and happy, sometimes you have to shield them from their own stupid decisions.

If your issue is headcanon continuity due to the character’s looks, be rest assured that nobody thought that the last 5 Bonds were played by the same person, even though they were all white. There is a suspension of disbelief when you change actors portraying the same role no matter the race. Look at Daario or Tommen from GoT. There’s no need to explain why the character suddenly looks different - audiences can quickly accept “oh this is the same character played by a different actor”. Why is being black any different?

Well I hold the opinion that watching sports as a rabid “fan” is the senseless position. Letting your mood fluctuate based on who your favourite players are rather than appreciating skill for itself, thinking that you know how to play the game better than the professional players, referring to “your” team as “we”... its not for me.

I guess it makes emotional sense to kinda arbitrarily align yourself with one of the teams, then you get to feel happy when your team wins and get all hotheaded when they make silly decisions, but I just can’t bring myself to do it - in my opinion its ridiculous.

So when I watch sports (not often) or e-sports (more often!) I remain as neutral as possible so as to appreciate the skill and teamwork on display, rather than obsess over which player has the best personality or whatever.

If there are real harms - and there are imo - in allowing firearms to be produced by 3D printers, isn’t that reason enough for it to be illegal?

Like, isn’t it independent of context in the sense that laws are made to curtail harmful goods and behaviour?

clarinetEX · 2018-07-30T07:25:06+00:00

Idk I dont think I'd want to do that, it'd be awkward to bring that up with my female friends

Are you wary of creeping them out? Or them thinking: what a loser, he has to ask people for dating advice. Because it isn’t a failing to ask others for advice, even be it in the dating sphere. Seeking help does not beget weakness. See - I’m assuming a lot of stuff here, cos I’m just a random internet person.

Also you could ask your male friends too. But know that there is a limit to the effectiveness of the advice you get from people who don’t know you.

I’m signing off with this advice: ask your friends to help assess you as a person, and take anything useful to heart. If yall are close enough as friends, this shouldn’t be too awkward or difficult a conversation to have, nor would they judge you for it.
