@SpaceSandT @rezadotgg @Dexerto Keep in mind that competitive gaming is a thing and there is an entire scene around Tetris. Also streaming is a business and this accomplishment will bring viewers. His YouTube vid has almost 2mil views. This is a bigger achievement than most people will see in their lives
@Jarge__@SheepyLoL It's fair to say that anyone who is heavily invested will be upset. How they act on those emotions is the key difference. Medic has every right to remind fans to be empathetic with their criticism. That doesn't mean you can't criticize, just that you have to be civil about it
@LOTHMY @AerialLix I think if your message comes off like you care and are simply looking out for the person, then you shouldn't have much to worry about. If it comes off like scolding or patronizing, then it could easily feel annoying and could be interpreted as you "parenting" them
@Calidumhoney@InternetH0F Selling it (if that is your true answer) would imply negative personality attributes. Perhaps when given a project or task you aren't a fan of, you might try to pass it off to a co-worker. The fact that you sold too implies that you value money over compassion.
@ceallaigh@ashcoat@InternetH0F If I ran a company, I would be looking for answers that show compassion, empathy, problem solving, project planning/management and retrospection or reflection. So your answer was excellent. It will always depend on the company and individual assessing the answer though.
@nintango_switch@wertherspern @LondonBasedGent @ashcoat@khenamancini@InternetH0F Damn, why you gotta do him dirty like that. But seriously, criticizing college students as brainwashed and unable to think for themselves, while also following ANY religion is the epitome of hypocrisy and idiocy
@UpstartCritic @PeterBostrom4 @InternetH0F Agreed, but in many cases, people are far too quick to cut off the foot because it's easy, straightforward, and requires far less medical knowledge. How many times was the foot cut off when it could have easily been saved? That's what worries me the most.
@UpstartCritic @PeterBostrom4 @InternetH0F With extreme violent crimes or crimes related to harming children, I find myself more in a gray zone. They can be forgiven, or even spend their lives making up for their actions, but should not be released. That being said, I'd prefer them spend their life in a Swedish prison.
@UpstartCritic @PeterBostrom4 @InternetH0F I can see what you mean in that imprisonment separates an individual from society, therefore being a punishment and not being intrinsically tied to reform.
Its not a great solution though. Cut off an infected foot and stop an infection, but you're gonna limp for life.
@UpstartCritic @PeterBostrom4 @InternetH0F I used a dog as an example, but this applies just as well on humans. Just look up how abusive parents or even helicopter parents lead to children with serious mental illness, violent behavior or stunted emotional development.
@UpstartCritic @PeterBostrom4 @InternetH0F If the government pays 30k a month for every prisoner in your prison, you probably want to have as many prisoners as you can. You would also want people to come back after they leave. Additionally, you don't care about prisoner quality of life since its not tied to profits
@UpstartCritic @PeterBostrom4 @InternetH0F Then you agree with me and the other poster (both of you are a bit obtuse though lol)
This is the point though. Punishment without the opportunity for reform has no meaning or value within a society.
This is why the purpose of prisons in the US are to make money
@UpstartCritic @PeterBostrom4 @InternetH0F Again, think of a dog. Let's say the dog poops in the house and every time you hit the dog, yell at the dog, and then lock it up.
If you do that long enough, without directing them towards the desired behavior (ie pooping outside) then the dog will become fearful and violent
@UpstartCritic @PeterBostrom4 @InternetH0F This is where I get confused by your argument. You say punishment on it's own has value, but I'd ask you to explain that value then.
Based on everything I've ever seen, punishment on it's own only makes an individual more violet, more prone to committing additional crimes
@UpstartCritic @PeterBostrom4 @InternetH0F The only way I can think about punishment for the sake of punishment being "good" is if it quells societal anxiety. ie a situation where someone accidentally kills a child and giving them a lenient punishment will upset members of that society and cause more net harm.
@UpstartCritic @PeterBostrom4 @InternetH0F You're looking at punishment through the prison system. Think about why we punish children, students, employees, even animals.
Its all about encouraging the behaviors you value, and discouraging the behaviors you don't. Without the encouragement part, punishment has no value.
@preyefavour10@westjett1@greenmushroom82@ValorINTEL@Slasher Imagine a company fired you unjustly. How do you react?
1. Say nothing, move on
2. Expose them online, but now no one will hire you
3. Mention the negative experience online, no name drops, but bringing attention to the problem systemically
Mel picked 3, which is mature choice
@remlorde @OGFrikk@kunainc@_deeponh@ValorINTEL@Slasher It doesn't which is why he stopped replying. He literally knew he lost the argument so he moved to this dumb "Chemistry" comment. Also, if you're so messed up that having a women around you means you can't focus or that its going to mess up team chemistry, then grow the fuck up.
