Fun is also what fuels exploration and learning. I think the overall point here is that there are people who have fun with different experiences that may be at odds with each other. Some people like struggling with something until they achieve success, and others just want to relax and have a good time.

Personally, I’ve had my fun with hard games in the past, but I’m turned off from the idea of getting stuck behind a skill barrier because I’m older now and have less time to spend on games.

I have a theory that the anger issues could lead to cognitive decline. Anger and rage has a tendency to kick off the fight or flight response. With that comes survival mode, lizard brain thinking, and irrational decision making. There’s a lot of viral videos of people in this situation where the anger is causing them to make bad decisions. The experience might even be traumatic for them, kicking off their mental defense mechanisms.

Afterward, they post-hoc try to justify what happened in those moments to hold onto the idea that they are still a good person. Occasionally they realize they have a problem that needs to be fixed, but many times they will dig into their irrational positions with new emotional attachments to it. It can take a lot of therapy to get past it, which still has a lot of stigma with testosterone-types, so they don’t and the irrational “logic” builds up over time. Therefore, cognitive decline.

Are there more substantiated studies on the effects of anger, especially there we see this pattern? I think I am seeing it over and over, but I can’t be sure of the prevalence of the behavior since there is a bias in the media I see.

Biden defeated himself, it has nothing to do with Trump

Then turn it up to 11

Could we say that it’s improving the US externally?

I agree with you, but I want to point out that this conflation is a direct result of our election system because it mechanically cannot support more than two parties.

Any other political interests need to merge together into one big entity that is nearly impossible to disentangle from the rest, so now maga = conservatism and we lose a lot of nuance in or political decision making and ability to be represented.

I’m pushing for Election Reform this election to move past First Past the Post voting.

Where does the judge say that? He orders him to report to jail, though, which might.

Nope, our election system doesn’t support it and actually has a spoiler effect because you end up tacitly supporting the other side by not voting for one of the two strongest parties.

You’ll get used to it, and then maybe you’ll realize how sloppy the other way is instead.

Certainty is a dangerous thing when people lie out of self interest or from coercion.

I think the game is supposed to feel difficult

For the story to make sense, I’m guessing that the person you’re responding to meant OG Oculus or OG Rift as in the development kit.

Here’s an opinion of somebody unwilling to reflect or learn.

Oh god. I know people that do this already and call it “target practice”.

The punishment section of the Hebrew version suggests many interpretations where words are euphemisms for things related to abortions. Her thigh might refer to her sexual organs, the curse an abortificent, etc. I think those meanings still exist in other translations.

Trump seems like he is more likely to dismiss the war or help the Russian side by weakening NATO. Why would Biden be preferable to Russia if he is going to continue trying to supply Ukraine?

It is correct, though. They are writing from an international perspective, away from our little party games, so we are being lumped together.

If you don’t like it, all it takes is changing general public sentiment enough to change elections in your favor and doing it enough for them to notice.

Perfect intersectionality is a goal, an ideal that we can be measured against, but there must be a transition to it because we are not there in many ways. Places holding themselves to a strict or impossible standard are probably hurting themselves in the short term, but I still think that it is a good goal to work toward.
