As of late? It’s been shit for years.
Somewhat same. Followed a girl I had a crush on to a local school. Met my wife during my last semester, and she’s been my best friend ever since.
And I never even dated the girl I had a crush on…
Love this channel, I’ve watched his videos for a couple years now. His scientific method can leave a lot to be desired at times, but it’s still great information and I always keep them in mind.
This is one of the more iconic ones, in my mind, but he’s still going strong today
The first two reasons, to me, feel like excuses to hide the true reason(s) they cheat. I’d wager it varies per person but that many just want to be seen as cool or skilled by having everything or beating everyone. It seems equivalent to people who modify cars to be extremely loud; despite many saying the contrary, they’ve convinced themselves that people love to hear their loud cars go by.
It could also be the anonymous effect of online games. They don’t quite perceive themselves as cheating, really, because they don’t know the players and will never know them. It likely feels like NPCs in a video game, for the most part. If there were actually social pressure, like would be in a schoolyard game of football, then far fewer would be willing to risk the social ostracization. But because they are anonymous online, they feel safe and empowered to cheat.
I’ve already made a Smeagol reference in this thread, but perhaps one more is in order…
Oh wow that’s actually a really good point!
Now prepare for it to be dismissed! People are too dug in at this point, there’s no going back. The trenches have been dug.
But what if I wants the whole bread, Precious
Dota players will pronounce “Abaddon” (a hero’s name) like “ah-buh-don” and it’s really bizarre. In their defense though, many aren’t native English speakers
That’s a sensitive topic
Oh this one really speaks to me. I feel the same way, probably to an unhealthy degree, honestly
Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus or Self Contained Oonderwater Breathing Apparatus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scuba_diving)
That’s the problem with this debate, for every argument, the counter argument is just the same thing but a different example! The only argument that remains is “the creator said so” vs “so what he’s lame”
Get bent
Now, Bob, let’s keep it civil here
I have the opposite view, but I thought it would be too incendiary a topic to bring up…
I hope it’s a giraffe
Absolute nonsense
Technically, I wait until you’re done speaking to strike
I have one in my garage and you’d better believe I’m going to inspect it now
The streamer Atrioc recently made a comment about old videos like this that really makes me think every time I see a throwback like this.
He pointed out how our media consumption has completely changed, and that for many of the most viral videos 10 years ago, people wouldn’t even make it halfway through them if they were posted today.
“Charlie bit my finger” was so popular but if it had been released today would be absolutely ignored. The actual bite doesn’t happen for 20 seconds which is longer than most short form content
Everyone has about the same answers here, and I agree with many, but I’ve got a weird one:
Super Size Me
Something about it just compels me. And it always makes me want McDonald’s afterwards… I truly struggle to explain why.
