btw, the realization that you can just not say shit about topics you’re not qualified to talk about is both very liberating and one I think alot of you need to make.

like fr, being online doesn’t mean you’re obligated to comment on every little thing, you can just shut the fuck up if you don’t know what you’re talking about

So play like a noob? got it

filipfatalattractionrblog

You’re joking, but it actually is a popular theory in chess that a complete noob potentially can beat a master by confusing them - as the noob doesn’t know what they’re doing the master is unable to recognize which of valid strategies they’re pursuing and cannot deploy proper counterstrategy.

#used to do shit like this when we fenced#for real tho a newbie is way more of an issue than a master because WHAT are you doing???

I’m currently a fencing coach for a high school club and my least disciplined fencer routinely beats kids who have been fencing for 5-6 years because he’s just so unpredictable and messy that his opponents have no idea what to do.

I know what a master is doing, I just may not be faster than them. I know I’m faster than a newbie but hey what the fuck is happening?

I have, on rare occasions, won pokemon battles like this. I have no idea what the meta is, and just slap things together that sound cool. It’s fun when you win by taking someone completely off guard because “Who would run that?!” Idk man, the noob that just kicked your ass. I’m not smart enough for all these mind games that go into serious competitive pokemon, but I do know big laser go pew.

It's possible to criticize capitalism without being fucking stupid you know

the-mighty-birdy-deactivated202

Good criticisms of capitalism:

Large companies taking advantage of cheap labor and under-regulated manufacturing in impoverished countries

Regulations that push small businesses into bankruptcy but allow giant ones to just continue growing and swallowing smaller ones

Overall unhealthy work culture that pushes 8+ hour days with few to no opportunities for vacation or even medical leave at times

peopleofintelligence

Addendum to unhealthy work culture: convincing people that their careers are more meaningful than any of their human relationships

You don’t have to be a communist to criticize capitalism y’all 

cookingwithroxy

Healthy market regulation is important to curtailing the excesses of capitalism, desiring them is possible without wanting to be socialist or communist, there are answers that don’t require a bloody revolution and the death of free markets.

thrown-away-opinions

There’s a lot of cultural things I could pile onto this list, but a lot of it is not really a symptom of capitalism, but a byproduct of some very aggressive social engineering that was allowed to run rampant because of the unholy union of government and megacorps.

What y’all think ‘gifted child’ discourse is saying: I used to be special and now I’m not and that makes me sad.

What ‘gifted child’ discourse is ACTUALLY saying: The way many educational systems treat children who’ve been identified as ‘gifted’ is actively harmful in that it a. obliges kids to give up socialising with their same-age peers in favour of constantly courting the approval of adult ‘mentors’ who mostly don’t give a shit about them, b. demands that they tie their entire identity to a set of standards that’s not merely unsustainable, but intentionally so, because its unstated purpose is to weed out the ‘unworthy’ rather than to provide useful goals for self-improvement, and c. denies them opportunities to learn useful life skills in favour of training them up in an excruciatingly narrow academic skill-set that’s basically useless outside of an institutional career path that the vast majority of them will never be allowed to pursue.
