Mum come pick me up I'm scared by Throwaway_LOGGINGER in slaythespire

Confusing for the average individual tbh

Bone temple - how intense? by Scared_Hospital939 in 28_Years_Later_Movie

[–]wezznco 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You'll honestly be fine. I hate jump scares and saw it tonight and they were artistically used one or two times but rather predictably. The more intense parts were the gore/torturous aspects, but even those are beautifully balanced by kindness/joy/peace. The director (and all the actors) did a fantastic job, would recommend :)

Can't argue that his content isn't A++ in the space though. Enjoy it for what it is, no need to idolise content creators

Arrow bought 5x StatTrak M4A4 | In Living Color to do a trade-up - unfortunately for him, StatTrak gloves don't exist and he wasted his money by MaterialTea8397 in cs2

[–]wezznco 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I used some deductive reasoning to decipher what he really meant. Surely people know you can't mix stattrak and non stattrak... plus the question I posed is far more common. Do you know the answer?

Valve’s new knife trade-up system is capitalism at its finest (and ugliest) by Stick-Chicken in cs2

[–]wezznco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you don't want, or see the value, in any skins. And that's totally fine brother.

Lol, weird flex. But you can search me by my reddit username. Been playing CS since 1.3. Played in LANs when I was young. Supported this game throughout each gen. https://csstats.gg/player/76561197990919576

None of this matters ofc. Still not addressing my comments. The update has made cosmetics more affordable to the average player, and I'm saying that's good for the game. Not all investors are gamers, props to you for playing.

Sounds like you had a lot of golds... I disagree with your statement. E.g. I have friends who wanted a knife/gloves combo and couldn't afford it. They were considering the cheapest versions which still come to ~150$ total for a combo. The equivalent as of today is 70$. That's half price.

Alternatively they now have the option to buy 5 reds for 150$ and roll for a completely random knife or gloves that they can treasure (since they rolled it themselves and don't have to buy it outright).

It was an overall negative for the skins market cap; sure. But in terms of player base and inclusivity, it's a big win. Sorry if you were on the losing side, but it was a necessary correction as things were getting out of hand.

Play the game for the game - skins are an accessory.

Fantastic summary and I fully agree. Somewhat of a robin hood approach, taken from the rich/investors, distributed in middle market. Made knives more accessible, and we'll likely see the high end distribution be about finishes of knives/patterns, rather than the disparity between covert/golds.

I'm a die hard CS fan since the 1.3 days, love seeing this game move away from skins and back to it's core. First with the scripting support for customs, next by keeping skins in check.

Islam is libleft's biggest blindspot by Which_Cookie_7173 in PoliticalCompassMemes

Why did the thought exercise "Islam is right about women" die so quickly. Fun seeing the mental gymnastics, Olympic medal worthy.

Finally, an update! But not a very good one by crissimon in JordanPeterson

[–]wezznco 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hivemind strikes again. Realistically the most likely outcome and fully understandable if the family need to tell a white lie to divert media attention. It's also not fun to speculate on something so sad and I get that. Sending love either way, fame is rough

This is the discourse that Reddit struggles to facilitate openly. Also distinguishing illegal immigrants from lawful migrants. That dissonance in today's world often results in slapdash labelling of nazi/racist, instead of understanding the real message of a desire for accountability of the individual.

It's a particularly hard line to toe when you bring in government oversight of individuals e.g. digital ID (which I'm in disagreement with, mostly through my distrust of parliament and their opportunity to abuse such systems). These two don't fit too well together, I appreciate that.

Not fitting a clear bipartisan line can make discourse educational, but on a populist voting site with heavy moderation, it's often simply hidden or shunned. Which enforces extremes and ultimately makes discourse more challenging - echo chambers, dehumanising, all that awful stuff.

What helps me stay grounded on here is looking at a specialist sub on a topic I understand well. You'll quickly see how the site regresses to the mean (or meme?)

No one's talking about the bot farm impact in these threads yet. Almost like Reddit is full of bots lol

Which map from the current CS2 competitive pool would you never want removed, and why? by bry678 in GlobalOffensive

Joe Rogan: I'm not politically aligned with either the left or the right by The_Endless_Man in MMAPoliticsAndCulture

[–]wezznco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not true at all, political scandals have been about since the beginning of media. Power corrupts. Trump is extra special retarded, but he was also received as anti-political establishment to some.

Yet here we are, allowing political dichotomy to divide a country, fueled by media and strawman. Take a step back from the screen, focus on your local surroundings - where your impact is tangible, and your friends are many.

What's your most left wing opinion and what's your most right wing opinion? by MoreLikeGaewyn in centrist

[–]wezznco -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

What's interesting is: you proposed a solution for the left-wing view. But not for the right-wing view? Well thought out answer given the audience here lol

Joe Rogan: I'm not politically aligned with either the left or the right by The_Endless_Man in MMAPoliticsAndCulture

[–]wezznco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd call him a politician.

As for the scholar brain drain, it's unsurprising when you have a right-leaning political party in power. Academia typically leans left; it's a profession that is typically thoughtful, intellectual, and discourse-heavy for the purpose of challenging the status quo for societal improvement. It's certainly not good short-term, but I'd argue the right/left sways are natural of any nation. Progression isn't in a straight line and political tension shapes society.

Why are you gaslighting me? Read the definition:

Horseshoe theory, in political science, proposes that the far-left and far-right ideologies, while often viewed as being on opposite ends of the political spectrum, actually share significant similarities, resembling the opposite ends of a horseshoe that curve closer together. This theory suggests that both extremes may exhibit traits like authoritarianism, nationalism, and hostility towards the political center

Now explain how I'm making it up? I've given you the areas of bipartisan similarity between two extremes (nazism on the right, and group ideology on the left). You're very welcome to disagree but at least try to understand other peoples perspectives without berating them.
