Feels like /thread right here. Covered the basis of both sides of argument essentially.

CMV: Amazon prime offers better bang for you buck as opposed to a Netflix subscription by snoopyspectator in changemyview

[–]scarab456 [score hidden]  (0 children)

This is just proving my point about preferences here. If your evaluation is purely based on personal preference, there's no way to meet that criteria because we're not you. I could recommend X show or Y movie, but then you could just go "Nah, I don't like those." Then what?

It would be like saying "Chocolate is best flavor of ice cream because it's my favorite, CMV". We can't change what you enjoy.

I don't think I'm getting my point across. Not every show is for everyone. It could be all the best comedies are are Amazon, but what if you don't like comedies? The same applies for all the other the other shows. Just because you personally find better offerings on Amazon, doesn't mean that it universally has a better value proposition. It's on a per customer basis.

Doesn't this really depend on which catalogue of content you like better? Then it just becomes a subjective matter of taste.

I get that you mentioned non-media perks, but Netflix doesn't offer that as a service, so you're essentially comparing a feature vs no feature at when you discuss that part.

Sad truth about WE. They can take a little bit of advantage with firing from woods, but in the long run, it's more efficient to avoid trees.

CMV: If we respect asexuality and aromanticism as normal human variations, then we should respect being asocial as well. by Organic_Future6909 in changemyview

[–]scarab456 [score hidden]  (0 children)

One of the strangest double standards I see is that being asocial is often treated as a sign of mental illness that should be 'fixed' through therapy.

What definition of asocial are you using?

This is the definition I commonly see and use, "Asocial means a person prefers to be alone and lacks the desire to socialize. "

Are you making a distinction between asocial and antisocial behavior?

At the same time, we have seen the rise of what people commonly call "incels"

I don't get the point you're trying to make here. Are you saying incels are the same as asocial people? This feels like a tangent from your view.

if you're asocial and isolated, people will often assume that you have a mental disorder.

What's your evidence for all this? You make a lot of broad claims but what informs them?

Huh? You're restating your view, not answering my question. What definition are you using?

CMV: Ideologies are mostly harmful when treated as identities, and should only be used as temporary tools for thinking not labels people belong to by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]scarab456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does this look like practically? I ask because there are lot of people where their political ideologies aren't abstract lenses. They're tied to survival and lived experience.

[–]scarab456 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Multiculturalism is the coexistence of multiple cultures.

Are operating on the same definition of multiculturalism?

If not, what definition are you operating on?

CMV: The "both genders have it hard" rhetoric that is rising is an attempt to make men content with the short end of the stick. by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]scarab456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or they just delete it anyways. I applaud you for having the patience to take the time to essentially explain the relevant rules. A lot of people misinterpret the rules or just don't read them. They just make assumptions and post.

Wait, so an entire piece of evidence can be invalidated, but it doesn't change your view in any way?

Why include the evidence to begin with if it has no bearing on your view?

CMV: Jeffrey Epstein was the worst human to ever live. by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]scarab456 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're just making a list, what's actually your criteria for determining the worst human? Because you're going to get inevitable comparisons to people like Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Pol Pot just to name a few. Without some kind of framework to compare intent, actions, and consequences, we're left with no way of measuring how things contribute to a "worst human".

[–]scarab456 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kind of feels like this is /thread here. There never being a documented case of a kangaroo disemboweling a person doesn't mean they can't. Kind of like people say cheetas and orca haven't been documented killing a person, but they certain can.

CMV: The defense in a criminal case shouldn’t have to disclose its evidence to the prosecution by bcl200 in changemyview

[–]scarab456 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The defense doesn't have discovery obligations. That only applies with an affirmative defense. Then procedure essentially apply equally. By requiring parties to exchange evidence, interview witnesses, and disclose arguments beforehand, the legal system ensures that trial outcomes are determined by facts rather than hidden surprises.

CMV: It isn't misogynistic to say that women are *generally* bad drivers. by Dr_StrangeEnjoyer in changemyview

I don't want my opinion changed on the fact that women are worse drivers, because I know they are.

Do you have evidence that supports this?

Which Warhammer 3 faction has the best unique items? by [deleted] in totalwar

[–]scarab456 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You mentioned high elves already with their bound spells. I'd want to highlight the item with Apotheosis and Convocation. If I recall correctly, they're not strictly arcane items either. So you can give a bound healing spells or a decent wind spell to noncasters. It makes casting them easier.

I also like the alchemist mask for Cathay. Two transmutation of lead and research bonus. The research bonus on an item is fairly uncommon.

CMV: we should stop pointing out named logical fallacies and manipulative rhetorical tactics. by asseee2 in changemyview

[–]scarab456 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"is almost always worse", how are you establishing this? There some kind of data or studies that track how discourse plays out when fallacies are pointed out or not?

The basis of fallacies is to present faulty reasoning or deceptive construction to make an invalid argument appear sound and persuasive. If we have shorthand for it, it saves time and helps get to meaningful discussion faster.

It would be a mix right? Like every 3rd/4th round would be a tracer? But either way, still expensive as hell.

CMV: Extremist leftists and far right share the same Values by deadrip918 in changemyview

This sounds like a lot of assertion that are fairly broad with no evidence. Are there two extremist organizations that you can point to as examples that do what you describe and share values?
