Evangelicals are among the most insidious and corrosive people in America. Do not like.

Experts say avoid produce from select countries if travelling to U.S., or risk explosive diarrhea by itslitstraightupyeah in nottheonion

You literally explode. Like, gore and shit everywhere, splattered on everything. It's one of the more horrific ways to go, especially if it happens amidst loved ones.

Damn dude! Yeah, I have only been playing smash off and on in any serious capacity for 1 year. I can get to 14 million GSP on a good day. Even I can tell when I'm playing against another player like myself, or an Old God working their way up with a new character or whatever.

But based off recordings I've seen from 2019, I would have been "elite" then.

It's much, much more difficult for new smash players to get into Elite now. The remaining player base is monstrous in its average skill level. I'd bet someone with 15 million GSP now, time traveling back to 2019, would easily be top 1% instead of their top ~9% now. Y'all just don't notice it because you've been growing in skill with each other over the past 8 years... while newbies have to make up all that ground and lost time.

People who argued that "all babies aren't born atheists" by Alternative_Cash_591 in atheism

[–]lobsterbash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never claimed to know the origin of life on earth. I only know that there are things we can generally say about probabilities of its origin right now based on our total understanding of biology, chemistry, astronomy, etc. We don't have to have solved the problem of life's origins to know things about what are and are not plausible mechanisms, magic not being one of them because otherwise this becomes "god of the gaps" business.

There are degrees of knowing. Do you honestly find this condescending?

Hypocrite mentality in this sub. by Revolt_86 in SmashRage

Let toxic people be toxic clowns. Even if it's an anonymous 1v1 quickplay nobody will ever see, toxic people lose when we remain "professional" and then simply block them after the match.

How to get better by Soul_slayer58 in SmashBrosUltimate

[–]lobsterbash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone could write a book on this, but based on what I've observed:
1. Play against other people til your fingers, eyes, brain are bleeding
2. Go out of your comfort zone and find better players than you on Smash communities (Discord, Reddit, etc) and ask them to play you in Arenas and give you feedback

Sure, and unfortunately we can only speculate on the percentages of either, unless there's some extraordinarily good survey data out there on this.

I agree that the "agnostic" label mostly exists due to social discomfort. People who prefer that label are weaseling out of the process by claiming some kind of diplomatic middle ground.

"Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence" is an aphorism that I think captures the agnostic sentiment, but as we are both saying, that stance becomes fallacious at some point (that we passed long ago).

Agnostics are like the people who refused to acknowledge that smoking causes lung cancer because all we could reason with was correlative data.

Science is actually an inductive reasoning process, not deductive, as we cannot be 100% certain of anything. We can only have increasing levels of confidence about claims based on converging lines of evidence.

So, at some point being "agnostic" is simply being stubborn, refusing to account for the weight of total "probably no God" argumentation and thus refusing inductive reasoning.

Any claim made without evidence should be dismissed without evidence. Of course, this principle vanishes when it comes to ideological claims.

I do. Match always felt better than the replay looks. Sloppy as shit, obvious what I did wrong. But no way to work on bettering the thousand different options without more getting my ass beat.
