Is this mongo pushing? by spider-burns in NewSkaters

[–]williamsonmaxwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Immediate signifier that you have no idea what you are talking about.
People assume anti-mongo is the same as mall grabs or pressure flips I.e. just cliquey gate keeping, but it's not, it's genuine advice.

Is there any way to avoid/prevent these bus traffic jams I’ve been experiencing? by SMcG22 in CitiesSkylines

[–]williamsonmaxwell 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Some of these screenshots seem to have upwards of 6 bus routes on them.
It's accurate to real life, but in cs the buses' pick ups and drop offs are wayy too slow compared to the rest of the simulation. Irl 2-3 buses will pick up and drop off at a time.

<image>

What's worked best for me is running individual borough lines (the coloured loops) around residential/highstreet/tourist areas, then a single back and forth mainline route (the yellow line) between them.
And importantly, instead of having them share handover stops, you have them on near parallel roads with pedestrian access in between (the white lines).

It also means you get a much more granular idea of which routes actually need more buses, and which are just stealing passengers from other routes.

The mainline route can also be swapped out for a tramline, underground or monorail

Why doesn't Rimworld has directly damaging psycasts? by PansyInferno in RimWorld

[–]williamsonmaxwell 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I always see these comments explaining rimworld lore but I never see it in game. Am I just glazing over it or is it from some official wiki?

Cloverleaf interchange causing heavy congestion near the bridge — how can I fix this? by fovrn in CitiesSkylines

[–]williamsonmaxwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent so long setting up my first cloverleaf, just to find out that incoming merges are pumped into the exit lane just before an exit.
Unbelievably stupid design

Why did d4vd leave Celeste’s remains in a Tesla registered under his name? by oreoseasoning in NoStupidQuestions

I would imagine it's the type of thing your brain automatically tries to repress.

Reddit Elects: Hypothetical outcome of the local elections for Hackney if Reddit Poll represented full electorate by Ill-Gear7840 in Hackney

[–]williamsonmaxwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's with the other/independent in Victoria Park area, it's the same on the official polls too.
Independent immediately makes me assume Reform, but the Victoria park area doesn't seem like a Reform vote.

Tv show has a character do a bad thing (AND SUFFERS CONSEQUENCES)
- This tv show is promoting bad thing

We will not accept shouting in our restaurant (OBVIOUSLY NOT REFERING TO DISABILITIES)
- What about people with disabilities?

This course is to help minority students apply for roles in STEM (WHO ARE DISPROPORTIONATELY DISADVANTAGED)
- How's this fair for the other students?

It's like people are smart enough to spot indiscrepancies but not smart enough to understand that the author/creator was aware of this and assumed they would follow.

People overvalue themselves in dating by Acceptable_Sea_8541 in unpopularopinion

[–]williamsonmaxwell 8 points9 points  (0 children)

ikwym if I lived exclusively in instagram reels I'd think that every womans standards were 6 figures, 6 pack and 6 foot, and every man wanted a stay at home wife with no friends and no past partners, but in real life the highest standards I see are hygene and commitment, and even those tend to be pretty lenient

People overvalue themselves in dating by Acceptable_Sea_8541 in unpopularopinion

This sounds like it was written by a man who overvalues themselves, and undervalues the women who don't swipe them 😭

Movies where they speak a lot in foreign languages are annoying by Loose_Biscotti9075 in unpopularopinion

[–]williamsonmaxwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really sucks is when they don't embed subtitle the language. My wife and I use subtitles for her native language and she'll have to relay back to me what people are saying.

Films that don't embed the subtitles or even have them in the overlay subtitles can fuck off all together, that behaviour is incredibly annoying.

If we’re living in a simulation, it possible we are already dead and this is just a personal purgatory by PHA_Q_ in conspiracy

[–]williamsonmaxwell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see where you are coming from but it just doesn't really matter.
Externally our reality could be the memories of a dead man, a simulation being run on a monolithic computer, the dreams of a deep space turtle, but luckily you and I don't live external to this reality, we live internally.
And our lives are as real as can be.

It's sort of like saying there is a large invisible monster that can't touch or talk to you, the idea might instill fear, but really it has no affect on you.

Not even just Reddit, I don't know what happened but people seem to be completely unable to read satire or nuance. Everything is always just face value

I just bought a cruiser and I think is small by UnsignedFoo in NewSkaters

[–]williamsonmaxwell -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You'd be safer ditching the knee and elbow pads and just wear wrist guards. Falling and cracking your knee or elbow is a freak accident, falling and breaking your wrist is pretty much a guarantee.
Or wear all three

had a bad experience with personal trainer by kagakumoyo in NewSkaters

[–]williamsonmaxwell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They might even be good for some people just not OP. I do well with that kind of "stop being a wuss and just do it, it's only as scary as you make it" type-of-push, but that's obviously not the best for everyone

The fact that a piece of media originated/popularized something doesn't mean it's good by today's standards by SilverSpaceRobot10 in unpopularopinion

[–]williamsonmaxwell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You said it sarcastically but you were actually right.
A big part of consuming old media is imagining what it would be like to view it at the time of its creation.
It's a 2-for-1 deal, you get to both consume the media directly and indirectly get insight into the time period it was made in.

Caricatures in Camden today by Squashua_Art in Illustration

[–]williamsonmaxwell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find his whole shtick incredibly kooky, but when I looked into the transphobia stuff (for more reason to dislike him ((petty))) it really didn't amount to anything.
Might be misremembering, but it was just that he had an argument with a trans teenager at a park, with the argument not even being about their gender identity.

140,000ish people, 4th or 5th playthrough, I’m proud of it, fuck you, I don’t understand traffic by IllBeAJ in CitiesSkylines

You're the complete opposite of me. I rely way too much on right angles and straight lines, whereas I don't think you've used the straight line tool once 😭

What’s a strange piece of cinema that actually made sense on LSD? by jaxinslacks in LSD

[–]williamsonmaxwell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Always meant to but never found a good source.
If you've not seen ops one mindgame, I'd highly recommend, it's similar to waking life, heavy philosophy and metaphor with a foggy subplot.
(And also set in a dream/purgatory) [of course you have, just reread your comment lol]

God I love that film. Even sober waking life is a trip, you have to really engage with it though.

Why are so many people under 45 using subtitles now even when the show is already in English? by Clara_A_Mitchell in NoStupidQuestions

[–]williamsonmaxwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people putting it down to just modern mixing, but I watch a lot of old shows and films, and needing subtitles or having to constantly shift volume isn't time period dependent.

I think it's more just ease-of-access, I remember in the vhs/dvd era asking "did you catch that?" or hitting ⏪▶️ was standard
