Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don't see any.

Comment preview: I think this is a problem, too. Sharpshooter (henceforth, SS) DHs' damage-over-time is overestimated when sharpshooter is charged up, and underestimated when it is down. However, this only matters to people that play SS builds incorrectly. SS makes kiting ....


Comment preview: So let me get this straight, you're saying that you guessed a number with 1/(1.4615x10^36 ) chance of guessing it? Let's say there are 10 billion users on DogeAPI (there aren't, but let's say there are) That brings the chance to 1/(1.46515*10^27 ) you find ....


Comment preview: I write video games for a living, and one thing I've noticed is that there is a bias towards understimated schedules in our production methodology. The way it works is this: production comes up with a bunch of potential features and asks for an estimated s ....


Comment preview: Simple answer: yes. Men are generally practical about who they pursue, choosing attainable targets of similar social and sexual value to themselves in order to maximise their chances. From experience (I don't like to call myself a "ten" but I'm attractive ....


Comment preview: awes poor bb. It must be so scary for you to be worried about being accused without sufficient proof. It happens in an estimated (likely overestimated) 8% of all rape reports. [1] With 200,000 rape reports filed in the US a year this means there are 16,000 ....


Comment preview: > Now the borders that are recognized by Sweden are locked up in Palestinian minds and there is no chance of compromise and negotiation on those with Israel. [From the article](http://www.dn.se/debatt/sweden-today-decides-to-recognise-the-state-of-pales ....


Comment preview: I think you're overestimating how much of an impact this update will have on the MOBA market. Dota 2 has always been the better game from a technical perspective with a better engine, better client, more features, better optimization etc. Its meta and bala ....


Comment preview: (So, in practice, this has essentially a 0% chance of working on a future version of the firmware... this is actually a really hard problem: when users most want to upgrade, as in during the first week or two after a new release, is when the least number o ....


Comment preview: Yeah, I can see why she's not running a matchmaking service any more. She just doesn't get that you can't tell people who they should be attracted to; it just doesn't work that way. She thinks all these size 16, class I obese women are so damned hot and fu ....


Comment preview: >Someone who is a trained climber and knows the mountain well would be able to find the dragonball there, and I could probably just hire a guide to help me out if need be. Read the comments for this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Fitness/comments/3gav3y/i_ju ....


Comment preview: You're a sports fan - I'm sure you've seen a guy wearing a jersey of a team you thought was shitty, and you immediately had some kind of judgement or feeling about him. Same thing here. A lot of people are seriously into music and electronic peripherals - ....


Comment preview: There are exactly two things that have made flying safer, and the TSA is NOT one of them: 1) Reinforced cockpit doors that stay shut during the flight. This removes the threat of planes being used as guided missiles. 2) Passengers who will fight the hijack ....


Comment preview: ... But how do they even know the gender of the person in the first panel - there's no one there!?! Are they just assuming it's a guy? Here's the thing... I'm willing to bet that people are grossly overestimating the ratio of men posing in pictures vs wome ....


Comment preview: Go up and talk to her (if you're in a situation where that's possible). That's it. You will be let down plenty of times, and you will learn from it. Don't get caught up in PUA or bullshit like that, just go up and have a conversation. Something a lot of pe ....


Comment preview: >Men know it's a fantasy, would love to have it randomly happen to then one Tuesday afternoon whilst otherwise going about their business, but don't allow the real key decisions and directions of their life be guided by such nonsense. Women actually do. ....


Comment preview: I mostly agree, but you're kind of confusing 2 different things. There are actual problems with matchmaking that Blizzard has already admitted and said they're working on fixing. Namely overestimating new players and prioritizing queue times over accuracy. ....


Comment preview: Ogre Brute is probably the the one I misjudged the most: The downside isn't as big as i thought it is. It's rare that you actually get a bad result with this guy. If I hit his face, he still has to deal with a 4/4 body or take a chance that I won't get a g ....


Comment preview: What point are you making exactly? Genuine refugees stop being refugees when they get away from the peril that they're fleeing, and face no further persecution. When people fleeing Syria/Iraq etc reach Turkey, and then continue on to Europe they become mig ....


Comment preview: The days of "lol Batman wins" are mostly in the past. There are a few people who will still give him outrageous victories, but they are often refuted by other people on this sub. Sometimes it happens that people will side (at least in part) with Batman g ....


Comment preview: I'm a Masters-level student of (primarily English) language and literature as well as Folklore Studies, and I'd like to pitch in; "att m la Fan p v ggen" (lit. 'to paint the Devil on the wall', commonly used in negative imperative i.e. "don't [...]") is r ....


Comment preview: > That being said, I think most people overestimated the number of beta accesses that would be given out. If anything, we underestimated how many people were hyped for Overwatch. I'm a little old hat this so my guess before yesterday was that several mi ....


Comment preview: Wilde's work has never been about the plot but the way he uses language, particularly his ability to come up with witty phrases that are both scandalous (to his contemporary Victorians) and completely true. Some examples are: "Bigamy is having one wife to ....


Comment preview: What Thorin misses completely in his defense of experts is one thing : **overconfidence of experts**. TSM going 0:6 (Thorin himself) or LGD going 6:0 in their group (Froskurinn), Cloud9 having no chance of getting out of group (pretty strong statement the ....


Comment preview: 1. Tywin decimated the Reynes and no one in his territory ever rebelled again. Ned forgives the Greyjoys and they turn on his family the first chance they get. Even after Tywin dies, no one rebels in his territory. Both Ned and Tywin made decisions, Tywin ....


Comment preview: Man, everything you're writing in this thread sounds so, so much like something I would have written 5-10 years ago. I want to argue with you, but I know how my mind worked then and so I know you aren't in a position to hear what I'm trying to say. I'll ju ....
