Yesterday I made a post of an old voice recording I found. It was a 30 second clip of Louis CK, but it was just his voice...and it was recorded from my phone. Somehow it was partially muted pretty much instantly. So I'm wondering if one of my "friends" had to report it or they have a way of reviewing it automatically. I don't want this shit to keep happening...how do I get around it? Will they accidentally mute something even if it's sped up or briefly interrupted to avoid censoring?

Nope

Imagine how much hype that title would have

Pin the Dick on Your Mom's Vagina

Haha. I like it. I'm really trying to get past all that old hippie 'we're all equals' nonsense. Some people are just better than others and Trump is an idiot. We should be scared and cautious of his presidency going into the future. At some point you have to fight fire with fire. Today I just made a status on FB talking about how I'm into X-Men because I'm all about being better than other people, because the standard isn't good enough. And I can say this without being someone who would want to arrest, degrade, belittle, or infringe on the rights of, someone just because I think they're not as good as me.

Yes I believe it is time to be blunt. Some people are just better...morally superior, more talented, more intelligent, creative, etc. So I went off and told people that one day I'm going to make a very crystalized piece of music that will expose racists for the peons they are, because I am better than those stupid fucks and I will enjoy proving it in multiple avenues of genius including, but not limited to, composing and poetry. These fucks are too dumb to do anything but hate on people and they keep us from talking about people for who they really are...their interests, goals, etc. No more sexual orientation and race talk...we're done with this now. We know the answers for what needs to be done. Let's discuss the next stuff now.

So yes...I am better than most people and I am willing to accept this...and it doesn't take much of an imagination to refrain from invoking some kind of slippery slope fallacy that says, "If everyone thought they were better than other people then that will lead to the next Nazi Germany." Lol...no. People just have to transcend.

Why not? No one has all the answers to the linkage between genetics and video games. For all we know something unknown could emerge from such research that facilitates the discovery of even more important knowledge in a seemingly unrelated subject.

The scientists researching it.

They never will unless you pivot to something associative like I was talking about, or move somewhere else where gamers are held in higher esteem lol.

That's neuroplasticity for ya. Time is your best friend. If you put in the effort, you just have to get better. I'm proving this to myself with piano right now. One thing I like to think about a lot is what skills we have that are associative to another skill we want to develop but don't have yet. I knew how to type. Could that help me in piano? I was really good at GH. Probably a bit more closely connected to the circuitry involved in playing piano...?? hmm maybe. I guess music/piano and a typewriter/keyboard still both involve their respective languages. Close call. But I feared the challenge of piano and eventually just told myself I had the talent to be a good pianist. Now I'm making it happen.

I should be more specific though. I really think pretty much everyone could be "good" at video games especially if they're taught/play and develop skills in multiple genres of games early in life, but there are always going to be people who will be more talented at this thing, or that sport, or xyz ways of thinking, or behaving, etc. Everyone is different.

I mean, anyone who has any decent understanding of biology, psychology, neuroscience, muscles, DNA, etc. would see that life is so complex and diverse that there have to be people who have a genetic predisposition to being good at video games. That being said, nurture plays a role too. Like, perhaps the greataest factors in being good at video games are just in liking them, or already having some proclivity for activities involving tactile stimulation, or requiring dexterous fingers.

The list could go on. Maybe games are more immersive to people who see more colors, etc.

Humans are fallible.

Any system based on honesty and decency is doomed right at the start.

Also, Nosedive.

Why would you cite that episode if you're opposed to the system. That episode shows a wonderful implementation of such a system. I'm sure most people would like to live in such a society.

episode of what?

The idea of getting credit for social reliability might be a good thing.

That, in itself is fine. The problem is punishing people for 'bad' behavior creates an Orwellian nightmare.

I suppose the threat of this social credit system is that you effectively are being punished if those rewarded get to, for instance, have a stab at all the good jobs before you can.

Maybe, but we already do things like hire people and promote them based on their social skills and attitude, so how is that any different?

Well it could be worse if the system isn't finely calibrated to take into account preventing hindering anyone's social/financial mobility. It seems that the system has a greater potential to disadvantage and advantage people because it has more dominion over people's money than the system in place now. It's more explicit if someone's a failure so they will have less of a chance to climb the ladder of employment.

The idea of getting credit for social reliability might be a good thing. One could say we basically have the same thing going on with money now, just that the idea that the 'credit' is based on your sociability is not that explicit. Maybe it's best that our currency is considered as a conspicuous extension of social reliability.

I count MM as dystopian because everyone's aware the world is ending.

That would be nice.

I'm gonna be the host of Cash Cab one day.

They're generally more poor and the poorer you are the more likely you are to find yourself in circles of peasants, assholes, criminals, etc. Also, the poorer you are, the more your surrounding circles will worship stupidity and criticize nerds and those who don't conform. So basically black women are more likely to choose barbarians for husbands.

Yes.

More so the concept than the execution. If a woman is naturally endowed, she's gifted. She may not even desire her gift. If a woman goes under the knife and gets enhanced, she wants that desirable bust. Not only is the desire itself rather sexy, but it's also admirable that someone would undergo hardship to achieve results.

You think plastic surgery is hardship?

Yes, it's a few thousand dollars, painful, and all surgery carry risk of death.

Merely living and breathing carries a risk of death.

When people said the same thing about Blade I was like, "Well that's not a traditional superhero movie (and I didn't even see the movie)." But maybe it is? Idk. And what about Catwoman? That is too.

Edit: (Yea I'm talking about the praise of Black Panther being like the first black superhero movie.)

I've recently talked to two people who did this I guess. Seems dumb. That's weird. I didn't even know it was possible, but I guess RDR came out a while ago...but I thought it was more of an add on, so if you didn't have the original game it would be weird and there wouldn't be everything else to do of course. Maybe it really was a separate thing...but does this seem weird to anyone else...to just play Undead Nightmare and not the main game?

2003 was Hulk. Incredible Hulk was in like 2008.

They would look younger. Wrinkles are caused by gravity

I believe they're also called by like weaker bonds between cells. There's a protein that bonds them together. I forgot what it is...something with a c.

Ice Cube

How would this change how they look? Smaller muscles....anything else? Would their face look different and reflect that there was never a force pushing down on them? Would their nostrils be more bulbous and flappy looking?

I feel like if a girl is really hot she will be less likely to have overdone eyebrows. I think if she's a 10 she will not cave to the safe bet in getting overdone eyebrows to attempt to attract a larger pool of men because it's the most generic and widely accepted look. If she's super hot she can just have whatever eyebrows, no makeup, etc. and it doesn't matter.

My Switch pro controller has creases at the seam of the handle and pad (I guess?) part of the controller. Theres lots of dust that gets in there that gets sandwiched and becomes like this flaky substance. How can I get it out without using something sharp like a safety pin?

Think about it. Ganondorf has red hair like Donald Trump and black skin like Kanye. They will fuse together and become Ganondorf, and Kanyes new album released on the 20th anniversary of OoT will actually be a DonYe album.

How true is this statement? Would regular Americans do the same laborious work illegals are willing to do for minimum wage and long hours?

Yes

Problem is illegals will do it for less than minimum wage.

thus making the food you buy cheaper.

a net benefit to regular americans

@Alphamon Wait, so you're saying if labor is less expensive then the food can be cheaper because these food companies will net more revenue? Then conversely, it must be true that selling more food, and thus netting more revenue, can allow workers to be paid more.

How do we sell more food? Increase minimum wage. As minimum wage has decreased over the last 50 years, adjusted for inflation, I'm certain that other factors are attributable to inflation.

I upload videos on Facebook, but I don't want them to be autoplayed in chronological order after someone finishes watching my newest vid. I'd like the next vid autoplayed to be some public vid from some random place or for there to just not be any video played after. How can I do this? I see where to turn it off for myself, but I should have the option for my own videos to not be autoplayed.

Where could I ask about this on reddit? I didn't want to go to the main Facebook subreddit. More than likely my post won't post because there is always some stipulation that has to be followed and it's likely not the best place for that. askreddit? Or somewhere else?

I only played the demo but it definitely seemed way less polished than RE4 and 5...and it was getting too close to becoming an action game. It's not just about having enemies that are of the traditional horror mold, but also about feeling vulnerable. I should not be that mobile in a survival horror game. But it's not even that. It's mostly that it just felt cheap. If the game were good regardless of genre, I wouldn't complain that much just for veering from its genre. Because I like basically all genres, if it were a good game anyway, I would still really like it. But I don't like it cuz it's cheap af.

You're not just asking for help. You're training yourself to be content with asking for help. This means you're more likely to do this again for another game. You will never feel as rewarded completing the game, or parts of the game if you're just told how to do something or where to go. And you won't really get better at finding / doing things in games if you just get help. You have to struggle a little to get good and really enjoy games with little frustration.

Speed reading is a skill. People that read that fast don't read 1 or even a few words at a time. They dont read outloud in their head. They eyes are literally taking snapshots of several words if not sentences, if not multiple lines at once and their brain is processing it all at once.

I tried learning speed reading once but didn't bother practicing.

It still seems really fast but I suppose it's possible. I'm learning piano now and the other day I sort of had this moment where I realized that my ability to read the notes on the page is slowly changing. I was like more aware of the notes in a greater area or something...like the focal point of my vision was wider in a sense. Or really you could just describe it as my visual attention was effectively being divided into key areas (the notes I need to read).

I wonder if this skill, when developed, will transfer well to reading English.

Is this even possible?

Yes it is. There basing this character off Dawkins. But they lowered the wpm to make it more believable

Dawkins? Only Dawkins I know is Richard Dawkins.

Is this even possible? I can type 100 wpm if I'm lucky. So he can read 200 times faster than I can type? Hmm....well, it is just TV obviously, but little things like this are usually meant to be at least attainable in the real world.

It's not a challenge for people to understand that the movies are...the movies...and they're bullshit a lot of the time. People don't think Spider-man is real, but they may be likely to overestimate how many people out there are smart enough and capable of achieving something just as astounding as making your own Spider-man suit and web shooters.

People need to work on checking the movies in this sort of way. People use them for a framework, I think, for understanding what cities are like that they haven't been to, and how people should act. I am pretty sure once I saw Steven A Smith doing a very good job emulating how Denzel Washington behaves in some of his movies. This is what the movies do. They teach people how to behave in certain situations. And I think they can skew our model of the world in comparison to how it actually is.

You can't fit where you want to fit noob

Just give up trying to fit in that social box. Just conquer your dreams. Fuck em.
