If cross platform stays for a while then all stats will be cross platform and you could use SBMM with those stats though.

If it wasn’t for the molesting, the catholic church would be alright.

That guy for me wants to smoke weed and play video games, so after work I smoke weed and play video games, and every morning remind myself that if I don’t go to work I won’t have weed or games for long.

Yeah I agree with a lot of that, and I bet anyone that tried out this clicker method would have more positive thoughts (in the short term at least). I just wanted to be a nerd and talk about how it’s not technically Pavlovian.

heefledger

No, the thing that gets conditioned has to be a behavior, that’s why I made a note that releasing serotonin doesn’t really fit. It’s oversimplifying it, but if you did what you say in your comment, I’d think that you’d associate clicking with having a cigarette, and then when you clicked later you would want a cigarette.

Can you train yourself to have more happy/positive thoughts? Yeah.

Would this particular thing work? Maybe, but not in a Pavlovian way. Pavlovian conditioning involves respondent/reflexive behavior, like the classic example of drooling. Thinking is operant behavior (according to Skinner at least) and therefore not subject to respondent training paradigms.

If somehow “releasing serotonin” were a respondent (IMO it’s much too complicated to think of it like that in languaged humans), the click coming after it would be the weakest form of pairing. A process that is one step better would be clicking, then presenting a stimulus/environment that elicits a serotonin release. If Pavlovian conditioning occurred, the neutral stimulus (click) would take on the function of the unconditioned stimulus (whatever elicited serotonin) and could elicit it when presented alone.

You mean you don’t like the “Parmesan” that Kraft makes in Wisconsin?

You don’t like Bungie?

I totally get the point you’re making but man is this a weird phrase

I smoked mids in college because I was a dummy but you just get used to smoking a ton of it.

Neither side really gets mad at you for being a centrist, but some people from both sides will be mad at you for not being fully on their side.

Change if you want, but remember orc warlocks are the coolest lore-wise because of WC3

It’s not millennial, it’s boomer and zoomer, ever if you’re not a boomer or gen z.

How can you make it a good subreddit when the meme died months ago?

Tbf if a spike can’t pierce human flash is it even really a spike?

heefledger

Yeah it was really annoying, especially when other guild members kinda sided with him when he obviously was in the wrong. Oh well, they sucked as people and at the game, and when i left later it made the raid team fall apart so that felt pretty nice.

heefledger

I used to play until the officer in my guild lost and owed me like 80k gold and suddenly he was just rolling for fun, even though he let other people pay him when he won. I ended up leaving that guild shortly after, unsurprisingly they were douchebags about other things too.

heefledger

I want shadowkeep please

heefledger

In retail we would do /roll 100000 and the lowest roller pays the highest roller the difference between their rolls. Makes it so more than just 2 people can play at a time.

I feel like removing the parts about introverts and extroverts makes this a lot better. A relationship between amygdala activity and overt behavior is just muddied by adding fictional constructs.

Edit: does anyone with the book know what study it was? The only similar thing I can find is Kagan (2002) and it isn’t too close to what’s described above.

On the old Chinese server you could buy and sell things in the game with real money. The Chinese server closed. Now those players came to the main server where you can buy in-game money with real money, but there isn’t a real method to sell your in-game items for real money. The players from the Chinese servers use websites outside of the game to continue buying and selling for real money.

Saigon. OP mentions that he already has all the places that Guy already visited though.
