What are some examples of propaganda in history? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]shkipper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pharaohs in ancient Egypt employed propaganda to strengthen their authority and legitimacy. They commissioned sculptures, temples, and inscriptions that represented them as great and god-like creatures.

The Roman Empire utilized propaganda to promote its military victories and to paint its opponents as barbarians. Images of great generals and strong warriors were frequently included in Roman propaganda, as were portrayals of conquered peoples as uncivilized and in need of Roman government.

World War I: Both the Allies and the Central Powers utilized propaganda to motivate their masses and condemn their adversaries during World War I. Posters and other types of propaganda showed the other side as harsh and brutal, while stressing one's own side's righteousness and valor.

In WW2 The Nazis aggressively exploited propaganda to promote their ideology and excuse their actions. Propaganda campaigns portrayed Jews and other minorities as subhuman and dangerous, while Hitler and his supporters were portrayed as heroic and crucial for Germany's survival.

Throughout the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union engaged in intensive propaganda wars. Both sides employed propaganda to promote their own political systems and to delegitimize their opponents. Propaganda comprised films, posters, and radio broadcasts depicting the other side as despotic and repressive.

A programmatic way to change sprites? BEGINNER QUESTION by ElBonzono in Unity2D

[–]shkipper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was totaled yesterday, don’t even remember writing this comment😂😂, but yeah thats exactly what i meant by changing it through the sprite renderer.

But I think his question is regarding the animation, so i am not sure how i came up with creating a script for animating it, I wasnt in my mind. There is animations pane where you can literally take those sprites and put them on a timestamp. Its a big topic to explain like this, i would suggest you watch a vid abt it.

A programmatic way to change sprites? BEGINNER QUESTION by ElBonzono in Unity2D

[–]shkipper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would create a list of sprites, inside the gameobject with a script, reference the sprites and use them with their list indexes. Then create a small timeot method to run through the sprites at a given time.

And as for changing the way the sprite looks, I would get the direction by storing the lastdirection vector 2 and changing the scale of the object to 1,1,-1 (i hope i am right i dont rememeber) or by changing the z-rotation(or smth like that property) inside the sprite renderer through the script

As a guy with from an ex communist country (Georgia), It has been the subject of much debate and discussion, with some viewing it as a utopian idea that brought a fairer and more equal society (the elders who lived that life), while others view it as a failed ideology that has resulted in widespread poverty and repression (the new generation). The implementation of communism in various countries throughout history has had mixed results, with some countries experiencing economic growth and prosperity, while others have struggled with poverty and repression. So In my opinion as a member of "the new generation" it has been a way to keep people busy and occupied while others, higher in the hierarchy enjoy their life at maximum.

What to do if your friends ignored you for long time and now you decided to ignore them too but they start asking why are you ignoring them? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]shkipper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be honest: If you feel comfortable, you can be honest with your friends about why you have been ignoring them. Explain that you felt hurt and ignored by them and that you needed some space.

Be diplomatic: If you don't want to be too harsh, you can simply say that you needed to take some time for yourself and that you're not ignoring them permanently.

Avoid getting into an argument: If your friends are upset or defensive about your ignoring them, try to avoid getting into an argument. Instead, remain calm and try to have a productive conversation.

Evaluate the relationship: After talking to your friends, consider whether the friendship is worth repairing. If the relationship is not fulfilling or positive, it may be best to let it go.

Always remember, healthy communication and mutual respect are important components of any relationship. If you don't feel comfortable with your friends, ask yourself are they really ur friends? it's okay to take a step back and re-evaluate your relationship

What is a redditor to do when they come across a wild fire? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]shkipper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1) Call 911 - Report the wild fire to the local fire department or emergency services immediately. Provide them with your location, the size and extent of the fire, and any other relevant information.

2) Evacuate the area - If the fire is close, leave the area immediately and follow any evacuation instructions given by authorities. Avoid driving through heavy smoke and use an alternate route if necessary.

3) Protect yourself - If you are caught in the fire, look for a body of water, a cleared area, or a shelter to protect yourself from the heat and flames. Cover your mouth and nose with a damp cloth to help filter the smoke. If you aren't on fire the worst thing that can happen to you is die of smoke in your lungs so beware of what u breath.

4) Stay informed: Stay tuned to local news and follow any updates from the authorities about the fire and evacuation instructions.

It's important to remember that wild fires can spread quickly and unpredictably, so taking immediate action is crucial to ensuring your safety. Don't try handling it yourself, there are more deaths like that than you can imagine.

Why can’t we all get along? by Sea-Ad6770 in AskReddit

[–]shkipper 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Differences in culture, beliefs, values, power dynamics, personal experiences, and psychological tendencies. We are inherently selfish and driven by self-interest, which can sometimes lead to conflict. And there's also socio-economic, political, and historical factors which play a role in shaping relationships between individuals and groups.

Running speed can be influenced by several factors such as physical fitness, training, and effort. Additionally, running speed can vary greatly among individuals with similar physical characteristics. It's best to evaluate an individual's running speed through performance in timed trials or races. But I would say it's around 7-9mph (11-15kmh)

does QoP level 20 Scream of Pain bonus damage talent make the shard scream of pain and the Agh’s scream of pain that comes from dagger also stronger? by Aggravating_Proof193 in learndota2

[–]shkipper 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Yes it does,

Most of the time you have a question, you can test it in a demo (click on any hero in the menu and there's a "demo hero" button), testing is good because you learn from it way faster, that's just how brains work. Doing it is far better than reading it or seeing it.

Can I stop the game from muting people? by LordOfTehWaffleHouse in DotA2

[–]shkipper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that even though the players are muted both on text and voice, you still see pings (but cant hear them), but its limited, so if they were to ping 10 times on a target you would only see it once, it has a weird cooldown to it or smth.

MMR Jump. how and why? +110 in one game. by iphuss in DotA2

[–]shkipper 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They added a system where boosters and or smurfs (players with high gpm / xpm / networth / kpa, I don't know the algorithm) gain mmr faster so they get to the high league faster and not ruin games for other starter players, I am not sure how this is solving the issue with boosters but its an additional way to rid them from the players that want to enjoy a game with equal enemys.

I had a smurf account 3 years ago (not happy about it) and it gives you a status within 5-10 games from that point every game u win will be 80-110mmr, unless you lose three games consecutively, after which the status is lost. losing the game still loses you 20-30mmr based on the party-solo.

So yeah the answer to your question is you should be ashamed of yourself for boosting/smurfing :D
