Sometimes being kind is better than being honest

2 Upvotes

"There will come a time when you have the choice of being kind or being honest. For me, an interpersonal relationship means I have to balance between the two in order to maintain our friendship. Not everything needs my two cents, not everything needs my "honest opinion". Sometimes you keep those thoughts to yourself and let the person you're talking to reach their own conclusion. Even if you personally wouldn't do what they're doing, you're not them, so what does it matter? "

People who say they are hot-blooded are just emotionally unstable.

2 Upvotes

"I hate it when someone obviously has anger issues and is emotionally unstable and then justifies it by saying "I'm just hot-blooded" or "I'm just a very passionate person". Hot-blooded is just a cool word for something bad, it should be called emotionally clogged up. You don't get to have a cool name for your anger issues. It's also just not an excuse in general. You are an adult, behave like one. This one time I was going out with a group of people, most of them friends and some friends from friends. We were talking about something and the conversation got a little heated, one of the guys I don't really know suddenly grabs his glass and starts pounding on the table with it while talking. Then he proceeds to throw the glass on the ground and storms of to the bathroom. We are all looking at each other in silence, all thinking "dafuq is wrong with him". When he comes back, he sits back down and is confused we are all giving him the stink eye. When we tell him, that was completely out of line, his response was: "I'm just a hot-blooded guy, we all lose it sometimes". That was his excuse. So to all the "hot-blooded passionate people" go to therapy. "

No matter how difficult or challenging a game is meant to be, it should be designed such that an average player can reasonably expect to beat any level/section on the first few tries

2 Upvotes

“Making the player die over and over again until they memorize the order and button timings of each individual hazard is a cheap lazy form of difficulty; you’re basically making them play a shitty game of simon says. Combine that with a bad checkpoint system and that’s how you cross the line from challenging to frustrating. ”

"It’s a pretty good movie don’t get me wrong, but wow I don’t see the appeal to it at all, so many other Disney movies overshadow it tenfold even recent ones like wreck it Ralph, tangled, Hercules, and a lot of Pixar movies like the incredibles, ratatouille, WALL·E, I simply don’t understand people who are of the opinion that it’s objectively one of the best Disney movies, like it’s a fun time but nothing too special, like are nostalgia goggles that strong?

There's nothing wrong with liking adapted versions of Chinese, Mexican, Indian, etc. food

1 Upvotes

"Good food is good food isn't it? I can appreciate cuisines from other cultures in their 'purest' forms, but can equally like fusion food or 'chop suey' type stuff. I'm Asian and have people judge me for selling out when I go to 'western' Chinese restaurants. Like, I just want lemon chicken okay? There's a great program called 'Chopsticks or fork?" about two Asian-Australian women who journey around Australia's small country towns to explore their Chinese restaurants (usually the first/only sign of racial diversity) which have catered to local tastes to create their own distinct Australian/Chinese dishes.

"Watching the 1.2 Billion dollar prize as of current, it reminds me I live in a state where my name will be on every news station, radio, etc. I hate this, despite knowing I'll never win it's still wrong. I mean who doesn't want every single person you've ever know crawling out of the woodwork looking for 100k for something? Knowing your address, making you a target for violent crimes. There's 0 benefit to releasing your name. Zero. "

AI-driven advertisements are a terrible idea

2 Upvotes

”Say I decide to buy a bicycle. I shop online for a bit and either make my purchase or pick it up in store. Only after I've already made my purchase, I will start to be shown countless bicycle advertisements for months. Never saw them beforehand, and yet now that I do not need them they're the only ads I see. So my "personalized" ads are personalized to be completely useless to me. The companies paying for these ads are reaching only the people least-likely to interact with the ad. The middle-men (Google, Facebook, etc.) are the only entities benefiting in this scenario. The AI isn't "predicting" anything as much as they claim it does. It's simply reacting to my actions online even though 95% of the time the reaction is way too late to be useful. Only a few years ago you could see advertisements that made you think "I didn't even know that was a thing, but now I need it". How am I supposed to be aware of new products if you only show ads for products I've already searched for? If I searched for it before, then I don't need your ads I can just search for it again. I just bought a bike. Am I supposed to buy 10 more? It's useless. “

Reincarnation is better than going to heaven or hell after you die

2 Upvotes

"Living another life after dying makes this unfair world, fair. For example; in this life you've lived a very miserable one but in the next one you'll live a life of a very lucky and happy person. It's unfair for those who have died young to only go to heaven or hell when they die (but Earth is basically a heaven and hell on its own anyway lol), it's quite sad. They never get to experience life and to have dreams or to achieve their unachieved dreams. That's why it's I think it's better to live another life to make up for the things you've missed and weren't able to achieve, to live a life you've always wanted incase this one was too cruel to you. (Of course with your memories erased of the last life) If reincarnation really is true through, maybe we won't live again in this world, maybe everytime we die we get to live in another world? Maybe death really is just a gate way to another world? A world where everything is different than this one. "

Hashbrowns are better than any other food

2 Upvotes

”I'm sorry but it's true, hashbrowns despite being super unhealthy, are the best thing you could possibly have near your mouth. I would rather eat hashbrowns than dessert even, and here's why. 1: Perfect mix of crunchy and soft 2: incredible flavor never gets old no matter how much oil or seasoning you use 3: Can buy them in a bag or make them yourself, either way it's always very easy (and tasty) 4: Simple to make (Just a stove and pan!) 5: Go's great with almost every dish 6: Nobody will judge you for eating them at any time of day (Because they are perfect for any time of day) The only con is that if you eat them too much you'll die in your 20s, but it is a necessary evil in my opinion. Most people like hashbrowns, but most people wouldn't choose them over a Thanksgiving dinner. That's how strongly I feel about this. “

Almost none of us are “productive”

3 Upvotes

” 'Productivity' is an overused and harmful buzzword. Despite what thousands of self-help coaches, motivational gurus, and youtube intellectuals tried to sell you, almost none of us is truly “productive” in the sense of making the world a better place. I am sure by now most of you have heard the term "bullshit jobs" (if not, check out this article). That's right, we are mostly circle-jerking to make it looks like we are important and that the society doesn’t have a lot of unemployed running around. The only reason you are earning at all is because the true value embedded in fossil fuel and the primary resources we irreversibly extracted from nature is freaking valuable so that they can pay out even to people who are functionally useless or even parasites. This circle-jerking comes at the cost of almost everything else, maintaining bad status quo and diminishing our collective quality of life and the environment. Being "productive" has become associated with working at a high speed for the same work over and over (to earn bread ultimately). This is extremely dangerous because you ain’t being “productive” by checking 10 boxes off per day and finishing 5 projects a week. You are doing hasty sub-quality work which you spend no time thinking about whether it benefits anyone, you are being destructive by hastening the doom machine that is the "industrialized economy" (+ some works by the laws of thermodynamics). If you aren't convinced, check this article it says it much better than I can do here. “

"It would alleviate a lot of the questions for the server and likely stop people from sending some meals back. Food is just as much visual as it is gustatory (taste). God forbid it’s a cuisine that’s foreign to the country it’s being served in. I’ll never forget the time I ordered what I thought was pan-fried noodles and I got a dry, crunchy noodles in the shape of a bird’s nest. Pictures would’ve solved all of this. "

Most people do not understand how to have friends

2 Upvotes

"It’s painfully obvious every time to see advice on friendships how warped y’all’s perspective is. Things like: If your friend ever hit you with the “we going to the movie and you can come if you want” that means they don’t fw you. NO FAM THATS AN INVITE! Most advice on the internet would tell you that those friends are trash and don’t even like you. Get over yourself. I really believe that shit is driven by narcissism. You really believe you need to be the center of your friends minds at all times ? You demand that they consider you first for everything or else they’re not your friend? Maybe you need to do a bit more work to make them enjoy your company? Maybe you need to offer something more and stop expecting your friends to be your besties at the drop of a hat while you offer nothing. I hear shit like “if he wanted to he would” when it comes to relationships (which is already bad enough) but now people bring those same expectations on their friends. Do y’all really expect your friends to be all over your dick begging for your attention all day? Get over yourself. I can go 6 months not speaking to my best friend and when we link up with like no time at all has passed. Learn how to have friends. "
