Reply to comment by pseudohipster98 in Person shot on SEPTA's Market-Frankford Line in West Philadelphia by WestPhillyFilly
If that's true, (and it's not) how come people aren't dropping by the hundreds or thousands every day in places like Florida, Texas, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, New Hampshire, West Virginia, Louisianna, all of PA except for Philly? These are places with more guns than people (by far), but somehow the people aren't killing each other en masse. It's much more complicated than guns. It's easy to point at guns and create a scapegoat. That is easier than dealing with social issues, and inequality. Broken homes and school systems are hard to fix, and expensive to fund. So what's a politician to do? We can always blame guns and then try to ban them so it looks like we are doing something. Got a problem? We got a boogeyman for everything. Kids don't listen? It must be that devil music or violent video games. The economy not working for you any longer, well we better start building a wall to keep migrants out. Let's just keep blaming things on others and not address the root cause of anything, that's sure to be a formula for success!

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Eli5 What does it mean to ‘balance the books’? by QuestionKing123
What you’re describing is another sort of reconciliation/balancing.
Also, I’ll refer to these links in support of what I said above…..

Reply to Keyboard and Mouse always has and always will be way better and easier than controller for FPS by DickWriter69
I’m way better at aiming with the mouse but my movement and orientation is awful on the keyboard. I would love a setup like the Wii where I could move with an analogue stick and aim with the mouse.

Reply to comment by TroyBenites in With age, every sport becomes an extreme sport by kattmaskinen
No, e-sports are much more intense. Pros play every single day for 8-16 hours. Idk about chess, but in competitive games, they don't fake anything. Everybody wants to win and to win they have to train that much. Before, their habits were very unhealthy. They don't eat healthy and they barely sleep. They obviously never exercised. But now they're getting some maintenance. They're required to exercise but afaik the meals and sleep schedule are still their own to maintain, which is obviously still very unhealthy.
As well, carpal tunnel and other hand and arm problems are very common. And these are reported conditions. Some most likely have hemorrhoids from sitting that long on the chair every single day(and eating unhealthy).

Reply to comment by TMWNN in What were the reactions of your friends when you showed them GPT-4 (The ones who were stuck from 2019, and had no idea about this technological leap been developed) Share your stories below ! by Red-HawkEye
You get it dude don’t listen to them. I had this revelation recently too, while trying to explain the implications of AI. I realized that they couldn’t understand what I was talking about simply because they don’t actually generate novel things. Predictors can be very intelligent, but at the end of the day they are not much more than big encyclopedias that draw on genuine thinkers’ knowledge. It is not wrong to acknowledge this and not waste your time speaking into air.

Reply to comment by HouseofPremyslid in Went long QQQ calls today. I feel very dirty. by mrnotadvice
I don't understand that comment but here's some free advice - criticizing people is the surest way to miss opportunities. Not everyone on Reddit is a shill. Before you open your mouth with a comment just bc you want to show people how funny you are, perhaps you could try something different. I'm inviting you to take the time to peruse my trades just over the past couple of weeks. Might take you 15 minutes. If you still think at that point I am a fraud, fine by me. But what if I am not? Are 15 minutes worth your time?
So you have a choice right now - respond with another stupid comment or "waste" 15 minutes of your time. Either way, it will have no affect on me or my profits. I hope you take the 15 minutes. Thanks.

Reply to How do I speak to my partner(30M) about what I expect(25f) without sounding bossy? by Whoevenameye
What about things you want or like, vs expectations. Ultimately he may not meet your expectations or want to, but it’s important to share what you want in a relationship.
