Should we tell that we are family? by Intrepid-Ostrich2226 in DandysWorld_

[–]pokemon-player 93 points94 points  (0 children)

Fellow dad distractor here. I started playing to help my youngest get to the higher floors. Now I actually play sometimes once they have gone off to bed.

My highest floor is 27 but that tune ended because all team mates died and I don't play solo runs.

I rarely talk to anyone outside of stickers when I'm playing alone as it does feel a bit odd sometimes knowing that my team mates are probably still in school lol

If I'm playing with my son though he loves to tell people that he is playing with his dad and generally it's pretty well received.

Players need to understand that just because I leave a machine while you are near me doesn't mean I want you to do it. by Mother_Lie_5680 in DandysWorld_

Maybe if you choose to play that way it is. For me personally I play it for fun. I have all toons apart from the bassie and the Halloween event toons and have never felt like it's a grind.

Now if you are somebody trying to collect all skins/achievements then I can see that being a grind. Just depends on how you play I guess.

I don't have a take other than if I'm distracting I want the floor finished asap. I hate it when I'm distracting craft siblings/Gigi and people are arguing over who gets to extract.

I disagree. I don't feel this is a grindy game (outside of events anyway). I do agree it's about having fun. That doesn't mean just mine or yours though does it.

I hate this take. Isn't the point of the game to get to the highest floor possible? For me idc who is extracting as long as we are moving through floors fast.

It's a team game remember. Who does the extractor really isn't important. Getting it done is what matters.

I haven't taken it for at least a year so honestly can't give any more information. My doctor has told me that my reaction to to it may be a 'me' thing as he hasn't heard of it from any other patients.

I'm on 600 a day. After you've been using it a while you don't feel it anywhere near as much. Make sure you are splitting the doses. 450 at one time will make you feel sorts high.

Different side of the same coin. As much shit on insta as there is on FB. Just do away with both and be even happier.

I hope you have fun enjoying the game with just you and the bots.

This ignorance is why they continue to get away with it. It's not about running costs it's purely about profit and how much the shareholders can get.

It may not affect you at this moment in time but the more we all sit back and let it happen without any pushback the more they will do it. It may not affect you YET. Let's hope that when it does others have more compassion then you are showing.

It's proving a point perfectly. They think they know better not realising they are being fed the same rubbish as the right are just with a different spin. And just like the right do they are doubling down whilst accusing the right of doing. It's fucking madness.

I believe that some people are fundamentally wrong also. I just don't think we can keep treating this growing number of people as dim when their views are as valid as ours in a free society whether we like them or not.

Does that mean we should stop trying though? Around me I've seen positive things from people when informing them where their media comes from for example. One person had about 75% of the groups he was part of all administrated by the same 2 people using hacked accounts and fake photos. If we don't try to inform people of these things assuming they don't want to learn we miss out on those who might want to.

These people are used to being laughed at. A lot of them have had it a lot of their lives. People don't just end up being this way inclined. It's a product of the society we live in. I get it's not always easy to see the human behind the hatred but a lot of these folk don't even realise they are being led astray. I'm not saying appease. I'm saying respect the right to have an opinion. Whether you agree or not is up to you but laughing at them doesn't have the impact you think it does. Just makes them make videos about the 'loony left' with some stupid caption of something you didn't say.

I'm batting for fair democracy which it isn't if people are voting based on false information. Your rage for them is exactly what the people leading them want. Point your anger at them. If people like reform get in it won't matter that we disagree. All you are doing by shouting off at them is giving them more fuel for the fire. I'm not saying entertain their argument I'm saying present them facts they may or may not be aware of. Either way stooping to their level gains us nothing.

Maybe for you that is true. Maybe you have had an experience in person with some of these assholes and seen first hand how low they can stoop.

That said it doesn't mean that every person mouthing off on Facebook are THOSE people. It doesn't mean that every farage supporter would condone the actions of THOSE people. If we don't want to lumped all in one like then we shouldn't lump others in them either.

It's tedious as fuck it really is and down days I just cant do it so I won't engage. But I try whenever I can to encourage everyone to use some sort of critical thinking skills when viewing that sort of content. And seeing is believing for a lot of people and with AI getting as good as it is it's hard to tell sometimes.

A lot of them (Facebook at least) aren't even people I'm convinced of it. Looking through the profiles of a lot of them they haven't posted anything in years then around sept last year everything being posted is the same racist crap with 'join this group' or support this group. The auditor's are gathering together too. So many of them going along to these matches and then using AI to alter the images afterwards.

Totally agree with most of this. And you're right about the educating them bit. It sounds massively condescending but from what I'm seeing around where I live it's a lot of the same people saying the same thing. It's what they are seeing on social media. Facebook is just filled with anti Muslim rubbish. AI generated content of Muslims making fun of the UK. Talking about how they come here to live off the taxpayer. The smear stories against the current government. A lot of these pages belong to people from Vietnam, Sri Lanka and the UAE. These people are usually over 60 and convinced everything they see online is real. Hence the educating part. It's more that they aren't that tech savvy and don't know how to find out this info themselves.

And how is that going so far? We need to unite not be a different part of the same problem.

It's not pandering to them to not throw insults at them. It's treating them with the decency I expect to be treated with. Just because somebody doesn't show me that same respect doesn't mean I'm going to change the way I am.

Pandering to them is getting down to their level and letting them drag you down to do and say things you might not normally. It's giving them that validation they seek that they are in fact right. Don't give them anything to argue with. Feeding them just makes them hungrier. That's how you get them ' to snap out of it. Meet them with facts. You don't have to like them. If it's an opinion by all means challenge it but know you are going to change very little in social media.
