people who double post are lazy and taking up too much space in the forum and are seen as messy and uncareful and I wouldn't hire them as a moderator
they know they'd all prefer not to double post but the policy of not warning or temping double posters makes people not even realize that they double posted sometimes
Totally agree. I'm not moderator material.

I will make a short post on this matter and as Asmo has said, we will consider the matter closed and the ban hammer wil be coming out.
Firstly, weight gain has many factors involved in it. The one a lot of people mention quite correctly is the idea of calories in and calories out. After all, it is very difficult to believe claims that suppose the laws of thermodynamics stop working and energy and food is not one of them. However, to say everything is calories is also not quite correct. Obesity has genetic influences as well and can be hereditable similar to things such as autism and depression [1]. From a very crude evolutionary theory standpoint, you can think of this as some people being better adapted to use calories into energy even in times of non-physical exertion (maybe in hot weather conditions?) and some people being better as retaining energy just in case and doing similar physical activity with less calories (maybe in cold climates?). We also know that weight gain can be chemically induced [2] and adjusting genes in mice has an impact on their ability to gain weight [3].
TLDR #1: Calories matter for weight gain, but unfortunately reality is also a lot more complicared than that so is not 100% the reason.
Secondly, I want to address the issue of how to encourage people to get better. Bringing something to someone's attention can help raise awareness and that isn't something to disagree with or something I feel like I need to cite and prove here. We can agree on that (I hope). That being said, how this is done also matters a lot.
One thing important about people in general is that they don't like being hurt. And if you hurt people, they won't like you as a result. What you're saying stops mattering, and how you say it starts mattering more. And once people are hurt, sometimes they like to find ways to get back at you. When you relentlessly demonise people eventually they reach the point where not only can you not hurt them any more, but they also feel like if their life has no meaning they may as well get back at you since it's not like they have much to lose. It's poisonous but I'm sure many of us have a lot of anecdotal examples of this from solo queue to politics. I am aware that the plural of anecdote is not data, but it is highly suggestive. And this is why sometimes efforts to educate people through harshness can backfire. It's why certain repressed societal groups towards terrorism. It's why after Ferguson White people thought the police were less racist than before. [4] It doesn't make sense on one level, but when you think about it from an emotive perspective it starts to make sense in a weird way.
TLDR #2: If you're mean and nasty to people, sometimes people don't hear what you're saying and only hear how you say it. And as a result your message can have different results than what you want.

Also what's wrong with the FFT ending. I thought it was fine. FFTA was a bit more eh but that was also ok.

It takes more than 5 minutes to write a post with proper links to sources what can I say.

I was also writing a super long and detailed post will I not get actioned?

I find it hard to contrast MoonBears lovely posts with the abomination of a icon he has. Can we petition to change it?

I thought you were annoyed by top Lulu, not Lulu in general?
Aside from the triangle head, Lulu is adorable and you know it, deep down.

The reason why I have more issues with FFT than FFTA is expectation. FFTA has a small cast and the story is fairly straight forward - it gives me, as the player, the correct level of expectation when it comes to the plot at the beginning and ended reasonably well.
+ Show Spoiler +FFT strikes me as a game where only half of the writing made it into the actual game. The ending lacks closure and some parts of it (Delita killing Ovelia, as the prime example) feel rushed, or are simply ignored (Rapha channeling the Auracite in a different way from the rest of the users).

I was annoyed by all lulu but then Rookie tried to convert me to a lulu believer. It's been a rough road fighting that battle but I'm not giving in just yet! If Lulu is a contested pick at worlds then I give up. League will be dead!@

All right guys I am musically inept because I never learnt an instrument but I super want to get into playing the piano. There are several obstacles to that though:
1. I don't have a piano
2. wutdo?
Basically I have money so I'm not adverse to just buying a piano/keyboard/whatever to practice on but I'm not too sure where to start out? Second hand proper pianos? Keyboards? I don't want to particularly go full blowout buying a proper piano just yet obviously and likely won't for a long time or if necessary but even then I wouldn't know where to start.
That leads me on to the second point, where do I begin? Lessons? Online? I'm pretty good at learning things myself but I'm not sure if just getting lessons would be better in the long run to prevent myself from learning bad habits and whatnot.
|
I think lessons may be a nice place to start just because the instructor from my experience has equipment to use so you can get a feel for it first then if you are still interested after awhile you can go buy your own piano to start practicing with.
