6,100 | The repeated crouching and whatnot can strain one's back, but it's a far cry from hauling boxes all day. | You make a very good point, but I would like to point out 2 things:
1) "Plastics" is a very specific focus compared to "programming". If programming fundamentals are obsolete in 20 years then we'll all have much larger concerns than getting a job. Sure, technologies change, but the profession evolves. The fundamental lessons taught about programming two decades ago are still very similar to those of today, but their implementations and the technologies employing them have differed. The underlying skills that a good software engineer develops are applicable within a variety of software contexts, even if their experience with the specifics are lacking.
2) The software industry is vastly different than it was during and immediately after the Dot.com bubble. Demand will not disappear as it did back then because information technology is far more integrated in the enterprise setting. In other words, the demand for software engineers today much more closely reflects general economic activity than it did back around 2000. | Rule IV:

6,101 | Other sources are saying the student pushed his buttons.
I once told a student I hoped he didnt have kids. Was it a mistake? Hell yes. But I assure you everyone else in the class hated this asshole. He walked into class every day with the “I know more than the teacher and will teach the class today instead.
He said out loud he wanted to eliminate China. That is what finally prompted me to say that.

>"He [Finkelstein] constantly talks about white privilege and how I have privilege because I’m a white male. I don’t believe that. I work 50 hours a week and attend class, and he tells me to 'shut the f--- up'."

| *We’ll cum to you!* | Actually it is very scary for retirees to draw on their capital. I know a couple who had a decent super but lost around 40% during the GFC. It's taken them 10 years to get almost to where they were before, and they've struggled.
I'm not saying we should give rich people more concessions, but imagine if you weren't working and had no or little income. Every dollar you spend is basically not replaced, or only a fraction is.
Let's say you have 200K in Super when you retire at 65. You might live another 20 years. That 200k is not going to last long if you start spending it. This couple I know had to have their roof repaired, cost 20K. Not to mention medical bills that start to become necessary.
So yes, there are people who are very well off in retirement and they shouldn't whinge if they don't get hand-outs, but I can understand most not wanting to eat into the capital - they are not expecting to live forever, but unless they decide to end it all themselves, they don't know how long they have.

6,137 | I find that if you don't have an amazing computer, fighting just about anything in 1.9 and up is hard when your frame rates aren't up there. Timing your attacks is harder to do if your suffering from a slow and stuttering game.
But that's not a problem for all players of course. So I can see why things can be split sometimes. | Yup, I have tears on the edge of my eyes kind of thing and I was legit fearful for those animals. | > Better stuff as in looking up a 5 month old thread and arguing over combat in a block game?
Yes, I know, that sounds surprising even for my standards.
>Where did all this suddenly come from? You literally said that "1.8 pvp is basically cookie clicker 1v1, there is no "skill" around it," but now you're naming all these different attributes like aiming, dodging and switching between keys, which take time to learn. Bit hypocritical, ain't it?
You're taking all of those out of their respective context first of all, so I'll adress each of them.
- "dodge their first hit"
This SOUNDS really hard and skillful, but... remember that you can run away really easily and try again if you fail and also that you can still get hit while hitting them yourself without having much of an issue
- "Run Away"
Where is the hard part here? The only case where running away would be hard is if you had to do some parkour to do that and I'm not entirely sure it'd fall down the "PvP" aspect of the game
- "You have to switch to it quickly"
I also admitted that maybe this is the only skillful part about minecraft pvp (Of course you ignored that part and took it out of context) but I wouldn't say it takes that much skill because personally, I get away with just placing it next to my sword slot and using the mouse wheel, additionally you won't always have a fishing rod/snowballs with you so it's not always applicable.
- "Just place it where they're gonna walk"
You conveniently forgot the second part that works just as well where it continues saying "OR IN FRONT OF THEM" because even if it won't burn them you could still use it to make them fall back and get a couple lucky hits in
- "better aim"
This is just jarring since you took the whole phrase out of context.
"Jittering usually sacrifices accuracy for clicks, if you can reach 10 cps normally or with an autoclicker you might as well not use it and just have better aim"
This is the whole phrase and I was referring to the fact that if you want to fight someone who's jittering you might as well just practice on getting a consistently good cps without jittering and kill them with better aim, simply because the only case where the opponent jitters and you can't escape is when you got stuck in a corner and at that point there's just something wrong with your escape plan.
> When you say something like that, try to explain your reasoning. Try to answer the question "why". It really makes your point more compelling.
(I love how you're getting all sassy over MINECRAFT PVP, and then I'm the one who doesn't have better stuff to do), the "P.S." message was meant as a joke. But still I guess....
> When you say something like that, try to explain your reasoning. Try to answer the question "why". It really makes your point more compelling.
Followed by:
> 1.8 PvP is 2 years old now already and it's not getting new players. Most of the community are fairly old people, who've stuck around for this long.
Preceded by:
>Bit hypocritical, ain't it?
While criticizing my lack of explanation for the joke you're not explaining why people who play 1.8 pvp are mostly older, or to better put it, you have explained it, but haven't backed it up with supposed evidence that it's the case, plus there are a few loopholes in the explanation.
"1.8 PvP is 2 years old now already and it's not getting new players" This part is true however there aren't that many differences to classify 1.7 pvp and 1.8 pvp as radically different, it'd be more accurate to say that 1.8 is 2 years old now already and that Minecraft as a whole isn't getting too many new players.
>Most of the community is made up of fairly old people, who've stuck around for this long.
This one would need a bit of evidence to back it up actually, and "fairly old people" is pretty generic.
All of this though isn't taking into consideration that what I said is: "I don't believe there's anyone who "has practiced 1.8 PvP for years" that isn't a youtuber OR 12."
I said "who has practiced 1.8 PvP for years", not "who has played pvp games" not "who has played 1.8" I said who has **Practiced**, there's a bit of difference there, because practicing means willfully trying to get better at the game and practicing Pvp techniques.
"...that isn't a youtuber OR 12."
- A youtuber because we have video proof of their skills and sometimes of them practicing
- 12-year-olds (or around that age I'd add actually) because people that age are probably the only ones who'd have such an objective.
>The rest of your comment can easily be disproven with the aforementioned 1v1. If you want, I am willing to take the chance by 1v1'ing you. You just sit still and click as fast as you can while I crit you out, since nothing but click speed matters. If it helps, try to imagine that you're playing cookie clicker.
Literally, the equivalent of a kid screaming in chat "come 1v1 me on not-so-polite-big-feline", because remember kids, being sassy and annoyingly rude to who you're talking to will make you win all of your arguments. | dsz9cj4 | e45hb3m | e187hcz | Slacker5001 | Slacker5001 | _Lazer | 7rplov | 972sxt | 7rplov | Minecraft | aww | Minecraft | 1 |
6,138 | Ours isn't police related, ours is technically run by the county I think? We get state dollars. We answer calls for the whole state but due to it being so big we can only physically drive to places within the county, but are hoping that with this going well in the most populated county, we can branch out the having teams in the whole state. We have our own number. We are just in an office building taking calls on the phone and then drive our personal cars in street clothes to the location.

We'll likely spend spring on Canadian east coast, and summer in cottage country of Ontario, but we're mapping out September onwards, and need some help figuring out best places. We generally spend most of our time hiking and at beaches, so these are important, and as we are not rich, low cost is also key. We like to stay in a place for 1-2 months.
Here's what we have so far;
Spain/Portugal - Sept/Oct seems best, good weather, lower prices, less busy after summer. Probably base ourselves in Valencia, but would like to find a smaller place that is quieter, but also not too hard to get to beach, hikes, and into cities.
Thailand/Vietnam - Nov/Dec? Beach based, maybe Ko Lanta?
Croatia - we'd love to get there, but not sure if there is enough there to warrant a long stay?
Colombia - friends tell us this is a great country for a long stay, cheap, good weather. Maybe overwinter here?

- they don't have any marginal effect: they dinner phase out, and they are a fixed amount.
- they aren't large enough to make that next dollar unattractive to earn. (Not big eggnog to kick in any marginal decreased utility in money)

Not sure about the minimum wage effect that is seem. Would need to see the actual data on who was taking these part time jobs to see if it lines up with their theory. | The reason that it is important to point out this relationship is because people will read over the statement " increased part time employment by decreasing full time employment" without truly understand what the relationship between these two are.
Look at the question posed by u/surreptitiouswalk above. S/he did not understand what that means until u/linkns_86 explained it in much clearer terms.
"Yes, more part time work means less full time work. If employment doesn't increase or decrease, which the study says."
This means that the total number of hours worked has decreased, which means UCT lead to a decrease in the number of hours work, which means UCT discouraged work.
You have a problem with using the word discourage because you feel that it's loaded, when it's really not. If today a study came out that says "Policy ABC caused the average number of smokers to smoke 10 cigarettes instead of 15, with the total numbers of smokers remain the same," would you really feel it's a loaded term if I said, "well that sounds like Policy ABC discouraged smoking."? | What's she smoking?

Switzerland: 187 immigrant researchers
United States: 1,850 immigrant researchers

6,170 | I don't have a problem with the devs making the game a harder survival but when the Zs go from 0-100 quicker than a Tesla Roadster, Always seem to find Platform 9 3/4 and have the hitting power of Mike Tyson. DayZ Mod Zombies where much more bareable, I wouldn't mind if they where like that, I harldy died to them whilst playing the mod, obviously when I began the scores where probably 10000-1 in the favour of the Zs.
Personally I think that people should be much bigger threats than Zs, and I guess a group of Zs should be dangerous, but the fact that they are much quicker than you, can hop walls, catch up to you in no time even on stairs and going uphill, can drop you in a few hits and walk through walls and doors is just annoying, I don't want to a game that's majority PvE where if you're targetted by them, you have to fight them, spend a stupid amount of time looting then spend a significant time trying to find people. To me, it makes more sense the further up north you go, the less you will find, other than Military Zs at bases and checkpoints and the odd few Town and Cities you may run through.
However, if there was a way that you could reliably sneak around them, it would be fine, even when I've been crouch walking behind buildings, one of the bastards come charging round the corner with downforce and speed only F1 cars could hope to achieve only to make me stumble, bleed, limp and then kill them.
I get it's all subject to change and that right now they may not be the way the devs would like them, but It's not fun, it's annoying as of now.
| Taking them on 1v1 or even 1v2 is perfectly fine, but when its more than that they are way too hard to kill. I've only died to them when in PvP as 4 or more come to the gun shots, this isn't the greatest feeling after wiping a squad and then dying to Zombies. You've done the hard part of killing the actual threats only to die to AI. They wouldn't be a huge problem however I can't seem to find mags and or ammo this patch so I'm using chambered weapons and the odd makarov with a mag. This also wouldn't be such an issue if they didn't walk through walls and make you stumble 2/3/4 times in a row.
I know they want the game to be a survival game and they've made zombies arguably stronger than they intend to be but making them hit that hard, render you useless for a few seconds, be much faster than you are and walk through walls is abit annoying. From talking in game and with the other people I know play, this is their biggest complaint.
I know I'm not the first person to say this and won't be the last, but I hope they get adjusted to be just right.

Like, if Valve had held a poll, "Would you rather us work on Half Life 3, or Linux support?" Linux support probably would not have cracked 2% of the vote.

6,173 | He basically gives no reason why the technologies he points out are overhyped. I would be no wiser after reading this article when selecting technologies to use.
Why is it upvoted? | I used to volunteer at a workshop called Coder Dojo which is introduces kids to coding. There was about a 70/30 split boys/girls there, which I thought was pretty good already since my University it was more like 95/5.
There was no difference between the sexes in terms of overall coding talent, some kids sucked at it and some took to it like a fish to water. The only difference was that girls made more "girly" programs (think a farmville clone, written in Scratch, actually quite impressive) vs "boyish" (sort of mortal kombat thing, also written in Scratch.)
I think that initiatives like that really help kids expand their *knowledge* of possibilities, which is something that severely lacks in the current education climate. | Thank you.

6,174 | Haha, thanks! | Oh hahah, I'll add this in an edit to my OP too.
So, I have Crohns. I went undiagnosed for like a year and a half. Basically, for a year and a half, I literally had (and I mean *literally*) diarrhea 8-12 times per day. I know most people reading that will be like *"VAT DEFUQ!? HOW DID YOU NOT KNOW SUMTHING VAS WRONG!?"* And, tbh, it's hard to explain. It's sort of like how abuse victims eventually accept their abuse as the new norm?
It started as just urgent poops, and eventually, over the course of a few months escalated to nonstop buttpiss. I mean the kind where you scramble to find a bathroom, and it feels like there's magma churning in your gut. And then you shit, and it sounds like someone just turned on a faucet.
Anyways, I basically adapted to my new norm, and was able to cope with it, so I didn't go to the doctor for about six months. There was also probably a little bit of fear that I was dying, if I'm honest. It was a dark time, but eventually u went to the doctor. It took them *forever* to figure our what was wrong with me. Like, 6+ months. They thought I had anything from parasites, to H Pilori infection, to C Diff. At one point, I was on a cocktail of drugs for a month that was so bad I'd occassionally just barf.
Anyways, one of my doctors even tried to say, "well, I think you're just anxious." And I was like..... "uh YEAH, NO SHIT! I'M LIABLE TO SHIT MY PANTS ANY TIME, AND I JUST GOT SOME POOP ON MY MOM'S NEW COUCH CUSHION!?" (I cleaned it off, but still. That was the moment I knew something was horribly, horribly wrong.)
So, eventually he sent me to a Gastrointestinal doctor, which, idk why he didn't right off the bat, but the gastro was all like "drink this stuff, it'll give you diarrhea, and I'll stick a camera up your butt." And I was like, "hey dude, I prob don't need the stuff, cause diarrhea is my natural state, nahmsain."
Anyways, that's way off track, but provides some context. My point was, I had a disease and didn't know, and also I'd just like to say, I only ever had three accidents.
The first is when I accidentally shit my pants on my mom's couch. Shares are much more dangerous with watery diarrhea, for obvious reasons, and I sharted, big time. Spiked my pants, but got a small spot on the couch as well. The second time was in the mall. I had just drank some tea (caffeine gets things moving) and couldn't find the fucking bathroom (which btw, they had *ONE FUCKING BATHROOM* in the entire mall...). So I was just some crazy guy doing the butt-clench-sprints through the mall, yelling at random people, asking urgently where the bathroom was. Like, my tone was that of a frantic mother who'd lost her child. I made it that time, but it was close.
The time at the lob. Whoof. Well, first of all, I worked there. And second of all, it was before I was diagnosed and treated (mostly all better now, fwiw). Anyways, I was sticking books and all of all sudden it hit me hard and fast. The bathroom was a mere ~25 feet away, but I honestly didn't know if I could make it. Not knowing whether you're going to explosively shit your pants in front of a bunch of people does something to a man, I'll tell you that damn much.
So, I sort of run/waddled toward the bathroom as fast as i could. Worth noting, was that this was the library's second bathroom- the other was a full, multiperson one in like, a designated restroom area. This one, for some bizarre reason, was a single occupant room, right in the middle of the fucking lib. I mean, it went from shelves to bathroom.
All I was concerned with was making it to the bathroom, and it was just like OPs story. I had gotten used to undoing my belt and pants otw to the bathroom to speed things up, and I was literally doing this in the middle of a crowded library, sweat running down my face. The rest was very similar to OP. Made it just in time to pull my pants down at the door, turn, aim, and pray. Didn't close the door, which wad open to the whole library. And, it got everywhere. It was pretty embarrassing, especially because I did the whole audible sigh of relief thing immediately after, without even meaning to. | 'till someone blasts the door open | dwm4hu4 | dwmm8rk | dwlp5pz | Eltotsira | Eltotsira | CIearMind | 88j2uf | 88j2uf | 88j2uf | tifu | tifu | tifu | 1 |

I'm still conflicted on this one. On one hand, I agree with the freedom to where whatever you like or lack there of.
On the other hand, if you refuse to leave your house after an article of clothing is banned, it's not because of outside society. You can take off your head wear and walk free and nobody would care. The problem must then be your ideology and your family.
They're not afraid to go outside because some white person will attack them, they're afraid to go outside because their own community will attack them. And the only people who want to address this issue are called nazis constantly.
Just think about it logically. If I made it illegal for you to wear socks, and you are saying you feel trapped inside, when you have the options to wear shoes without socks, bare foot, flip flops, sandals, or whatever else, just not socks. It's not because of outside society. It's because of something in your family, in your community and in your ideology that is the problem. | How right you are.

6,198 | Other comments have already given a reasonable account of how EMDR is purported to work, so I'll offer something of a different perspective.
EMDR is not regarded by many-to-most scientifically-based psychologists as terribly legit. It "works" for PTSD treatment, but it works, most if us believe, because it fundamentally consists of an "exposure" element. Exposure, in its most common forms, consists of safely encountering progressively more difficult elements of a feared thing it situation. If I was treating snake phobia, that would be a snake, and we'd spend time getting closer and closer to the snake. If that's a traumatic memory, that consists of encountering the memory by repeating it over and over (this is called imaginal exposure) as well as real-life reminders of it (this is called in vivo exposure). Exposure is an excellent, robust intervention for nearly any acute anxiety problem, and like Green Eggs and Ham, you can do it in a box, you can do it with a fox, and so on--many kinds of modifications or wallpaper over an exposure framework do fine, because exposure works.
Some so-called "dismantling" studies of EMDR have shown that, without the eye movements, it works the same, which is what we'd expect--because it's exposure. Others have shown some benefit of EMDR over plain exposure, which does not surprise me at all: I think the eye movements are likely to act as a placebo adjunct, and help people feel like they're doing something extra. What has never been done, as far as I know, is a head-to-head study of EMDR vs. Exposure + casting a magic spell on the patient with a jewel-encrusted oak staff, which is, I think, an appropriate comparison which the literature needs.
I'll be honest: I'm a scientifically-trained clinical psychologist, and I regard it as a basically effective intervention wallpapered over with junk neuroscience that is either harmless or offers a small placebo adjunct. I'm by no means conservative as a clinician and welcome innovation, but I don't think EMDR is it, and am more troubled to see it expand as a fancy-seeming psychological fix-all treatment for everything. I will be honest that I tend to think slightly less of clinicians who advocate for it and/or practice it, as it tends to be associated with a lot of other nonsense on their part.
You will certainly encounter many, many people, patients and clinicians alike, offering very emphatic testimonials that EMDR works wonders. (If tgis post became popular enough, I would likely get several comments arguing with me from either patients or clinicians, perhaps even bearing studies!) I would submit to you that, as patients, we don't really know if something worked or not, because we don't carry around our own control group. I can say that my acupuncture relieved my back pain, and I might be right, but it may also be that it would have improved without intervention over the same timespan, or the acupuncture led me to think I should start stretching and exercising, or I simple began to re-interpret my pain experience. Without very careful controls that I don't have, I can't really say what worked. It's actually no easier for the clinician, and many mental health professionals (as well as medical doctors) are similarly misled, by the same kinds of cognitive biases, about the outcome of their own interventions. Figuring out what works in psychological treatments is very difficult, figuring out why is very very difficult. Suffice it to say that EMDR has a published body of evidence which a higher proportion of the more rigorously scientific branch of the field is unconvinced by, or at least, very skeptical of.

CBT on the other hand was just the thing I needed. We are all different, keep at it till you find yours. | Not entirely. Not all effects are "fought back against" equally. Psychomotor and some cognitive effects of alcohol still do mostly persist quite in people with developed tolerance. There will certainly be some differences between psychomotor abilities, reaction time etc. of a long-term alcoholic and myself at .08 ABV, but it's still a useful-enough legal guideline. There will also be diffences person to person, even among the non-tolerant, but they aren't so terribly enormous as to make that line pointless. Substances like marijuana, and to a certain extent opiates, present much more of a problem as regards establishment of a blood level that denotes impairment. | ds9xur3 | dsbcf7a | dsyubbq | halfascientist | hickorydickoryshaft | halfascientist | 7oiky3 | 7oiky3 | 7ro4by | explainlikeimfive | explainlikeimfive | askscience | 0 |
