  • What?? Imagine telling anyone to "be quiet now". That's plainly rude and won't help

    It's important to be honest and polite. "I really need to focus on my work and be silent for a few hours a day. I'd be happy to chat on a coffee break, but I need to have some quiet time please"

  • For what reason? Why is Epic so bad? I'm not fishing for a reaction. I genuinely don't know why most people here hate Epic

    Edit: ok, so what I gather from the comments is that Epic has a slightly worse service and that you guys are way too invested in a stupid dispute between two companies that only care about your money. Cool 👍

  • Sorry but you don't understand how this works.

    It doesn't make sense when you say:

    they can use the money and resources for something else.

    For example. The US arms industry exports were worth 238 Billion $ in 2023. That means that the arms industry brought 238 billion from outside the US to inside the economy

    Because the money is coming from outside. If the industry stops, the US will lose this money.

    You are putting your convictions above logic. It doesn't matter how hard you believe in something, if it is not practical it won't work.

    If your suggestions really make sense you should be able to convince at least a few people. But look at the responses you're getting. How can you convince all the world leaders to change if you can't convince a few people in the comments?

    At some point you have to consider that you might be in the wrong. Admitting your mistakes makes you a better person and allows you to grow in character. I kindly ask you to consider that.

    My guy, I'm going to finish this conversation here. I hope this was useful. Cheers!

  • Brother, I respect your principles but you're not understanding the issue with having no military.

    First you would have to convince all countries in the world to cut all military budgets. Including convincing countries that would suffer economically from the extinction of the arms industry.

    And once all countries have 0 military, there is an incentive for aggressive leaders to produce weapons since it would be easy to win a war against an unarmed country

    Disarming a country is an impossible mission because it only works if the entire world agrees to it, and because it makes everyone vulnerable once someone decides to break the agreement.

    I hope you can see it clearly now. Unless you have a proposal that fixes the two points above, your 0 military plan would not work

    I'm happy to discuss more if you'd like

  • Unfortunately a strong military is necessary to maintain peace

    It might sound contradictory at first but you should consider that people will always disagree. And if you and your neighboring country disagree and they have 20x more military power than you, they might be inclined to use force to solve your differences

    The only thing that allows you to have a civil and diplomatic discussion is the assurance that war is the worst of the options. As we see today, strong military nations are not afraid to abuse weaker military powers.

    I understand the hate towards the production of weapons, and I'm with you. But defunding the military is a simplistic, utopian argument that unfortunately would not work in the present time

  • The Right's opinions are not fact based, so you cannot convince them with facts

    Most rightwing supporters are driven by their emotions, and fall prey to fear mongering and emotional manipulation related to their already existing beliefs like racism and xenophobia.

    To change emotional based beliefs you need to use compassion. They are not your enemy. They are misguided and manipulated souls that need help.

    Treat them as your best friend

    They won't be open to arguments if they think you're the devil. So you have to be their friend.

    It's not necessary to explain everything to them. You can't change someone's world view in one conversation. Just show that you're a reasonable person that is trying to understand them. Gently ask them what their beliefs are and don't be confrontational. With a bit of time they will open their eyes by themselves.

    Not easy. but I think that this is what effectively creates change.

  • Why shouldn't people use windows?

    You can't expect the average person to be tech savvy enough to use Linux and most people cannot afford a Mac. Especially in developing countries.

    Windows is the best OS for the average person. Just not for advanced users such as researchers

  • All numbers are imaginary

    They are a logistical concept, invented with the purpose of counting and calculating quantities.

    Strictly speaking "Math" doesn't exist in nature.

    Circles are not round because of Pi. A triangle's sides are not consistent because of the Pythagorean theorem. A thrown ball doesn't travel in a parabola because of Algebra.

    Math is a tool CREATED to understand natural phenomena. Though its logistical power is so strong that it can be stretched to understand almost everything that can be measured.

    If a tree falls in the woods it vibrates the air at an audible frequence. Your ears absorb the vibrations and send a signal to your brain that we understand as sound. But the tree never makes a sound. The tree exists and interacts with the environment. Your brain interprets some of those interactions as sound.

    You can think of the numbers as the sound. You can understand them clearly, but they're just an interpretation of a natural phenomena.

  • So you're saying that everyone that dislikes anime "just doesn't get it" ? That's a pretty silly take.

    I've watched about 100 different shows and all kinds of anime genres over many years but I stopped because I can't do it anymore

    Most Anime shows suffer from the same issues. Personally The 2 most difficult things to deal with in are:

    - Incredibly frustrating dialogue

    I hate how characters speak in an extremely unrealistic and cringy way. It throws me off every time and I can't connect with the characters. It doesn't need to be realistic dialogue of course. I just think that anime is very far removed from acceptable dialogue, even for a show

    - Shows never go beyond their basic tropes

    Edgy anime is edgy and then nothing else. Every slice of life is just that and nothing else. Everything is extremely formulaic and you're just left with the characters. And the characters are unidimensional. Please add some substance to the plot. Create more human and imperfect characters. Every character represents a trope and has no more nuance than that. The clumsy character is just clumsy. The bully character is just a bully. The main character is either the smartest or the most powerful being in the universe. EVERY TIME.

    Seinen anime is a bit better regarding this last point. but it's still too much. I can't sit through an episode without cringing several times. Especially over the dialogue
