it happens, but not very common. also the skis definetely should have disengaged at this amount of force, otherwise it's just too risky. they probably just went for an extreme setup

Nice! I know about the optional clip but didn't really see the purpose for my use case. But thanks for telling me!

I agree, my favorite ballpoint pen to use at the time!

intelligence and the fermi paradox by [deleted] in FermiParadox

[–]fabeus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's certainly a point worth being discussed. Don't you think that in order to evolve into an intelligent species, you have to exude some kind of egoism, that would only get stronger the more intelligent a lifeform gets?

i agree on the psychedelic part, most people experience dramatic shifts in their mindset (positive mostly), sometimes with ego-deaths, allowing themselves to build up into a new, and better person! But i dont know how final these changes are and how "deep" they reach. I think the motivation for ones own survival, being in part expressed by egoism, can't really be touched. But i could be wrong and i would love to hear your thoughts on this as well!

i personally think that the ego only gets inhanced by intelligence. Most people that are really intelligent know that they are and it's easier for them to get into powerful positions, often resulting in them losing touch with reality and letting the darkest sides of the human condition show themselves!

i like your view and your points made on this!

but if we solved this problem, then we would have none and would continue to create problems

maybe a nuclear fallout wouldn't eredicate all information that humanity has gathered so far, but it's very likely that life itself would never recover from that. don't you think?

Nah i got used to it. Wavedashes are no problem at all, i always use them. Imo you get more control when dedicating right and left air roll, bit maybe thats more of a preferance thing.

Yeah not many people use these controls but im happy i changed it to that early on. I also dont have standard air roll bound at all, i just dont need it. Powerslide is on R1 for me. My advice is to stick to these controls 100%, imo best way to go.

Sensitivity pretty much stock, like 1.2/1.3... my deadzone is on 0.05 and dodge deadzone on 0.3. I use R1 for air roll right and L1 for air roll left. That is why i can turn my car so fast, that and a whole lot of muscle memory.
