wait what? Its not my fault if someone insults me, I just respond accordingly, Im not even trying to sound smart, did you even see my first post? infact, have I even been giving thorough explanations on everything to really prove Im educated? no, I just said, Im a medschool student (which would imply I have certain knowledge) and that I believe Osu can improve your reading speed.
@thelewa, that, though you may feel so (which is a biased point of view to read my posts if you ask me), I did not attack you. "I dont know why you are such a dick" I guess thats the closest to attacking you, yet I believe its more like yeah, youre not respecting me, and Im showing I feel disrespected. I did address the points that you made, but you just kept implying I was stupid. Its funny, I havent even called you stupid, Ive just said you are under different circumstances, you dont go to medschool, so how could you possibly know my needs? is that really attacking you? You have your own idea of what osu really is, and I respect that, now stop trying to force me into thinking like you, because you simply wont accomplish it... mainly because you dont even know what youre talking about, youre talking with observation... hence youre being empirical, me on the other hand are being theoretical. In theory osu can improve your reading is what I said, and if you knew about the nervous system, youd know its actually very much possible.
as for me comparing you to a toddler, read carefully, and realize I did not, I said people read the way they read because thats how they were taught to do so. Why was that in the first place? because its the most effective way to teach toddlers. I never, not once said you read like a toddler, even though you probably use the same method toddlers use and will use for the rest of their lives. Theres nothing wrong with that, do you really feel insulted because I called you average or something? Let me tell you something, I use that method too, Im not trying to insult myself.
"This would be a good jab at me if determining whether I'm in college right now wasn't impossible due to the differing nature of education in different countries. Which leads me to wonder how you even came up to that conclusion in the first place. Certainly a smart man like yourself would know that when judging the level of a person's education in terms of his age, you have to factor in a leeway of at least 2 years because of what I just stated. Oh, and I am at college level right now which is why I find this so amusing."
Except, I actually know 2 finnish people, one of them started college when he was 19 as he finished highschool when he was 18. so seeing you are 18, I can assume you are probably (though not definitely) in highschool, and forgive me if I was wrong once again it was never meant to serve as an insult, just saying youre in different conditions to mine. And as you can see yes I did happen to check your account, just read like ok youre 18 and have played like 120k games iirc. You saying you played most of your games in your first 2 years makes me wonder how did you even get into a good college? woops did I just attack you, well Ive never said I was better than everyone else, you on the other hand with your "been playing osu in the highest level for 4 years now" seems way more cocky to me, playing osu at such a high level surely is more impressive than doing something only 1.2% of the aspiring students can actually accomplish, as I believe statistically speaking being in your ranking is way harder than getting into medschool, props to you bro, props to you.
The comment about me having to dedicate X amount of hours a week to my studies was only meant to prepare the sitation for me to say Im sorry if Im grumpy "Im grumpy as hell but damn son, you, youre not even in college, you should be getting enough sleep and are such a dickhead? get a life haha" woopsie I guess I did attack you, "such a dickhead? get a life haha" but didnt you say my whole post was about that? Yet it wasnt, I only stated youre being a dick. Would it make you happier if I said I think you are a dick?
Just so you know a little more about me. Yes Im a medschool student, proud of it, its very tough getting into one, my grades are well above average (would you be surprised after spending that many hours), I think things logically, and Im pretty good at it, Ive proven to have good mental capacity, earning me various scholarships in the UK when I was younger. No I dont feel superior to anyone, Im asperger, Im not particularly tall, nor athletic, Im not even the best at remembering stuff, something many medschool students have as their best trait. If youd ask me, Im a better engineer, I did go to an engineering school for a year, I wasnt sure what I wanted to do with my life back then, I felt being a psyquiatrist which has been my dream since I was NINE was too much responsibility and just went for what Im more suited for... Shows much courage to be desired from me. I have very few friends though its no wonder if you read Im asperger, and actually Ive gone to therapists to improve my self esteem... Im pretty sure you couldnt be more wrong by saying "You seem to believe that you're somehow better than than the rest because you're in medschool."
For the record, if you easily change someones opinion about something, thats because they didnt have much knowledge about it in the first place. If you try to change someones well stablished opinion about something, he will have to go through cognitive dissonance, and that not only requires scenerios that completely refute the original idea, but it usually even takes several of them until the person is convinced of the new idea. Its either that, or you're stubborn, as Ive studied various years about the human body, Id like to believe thats the reason you will not change my mind. I didnt even come here to change people's minds, nor to get people to change mine, I only came here to ask for people's opinions and as I said in one of my first posts, I got their opinion, and they contradict mine, doesnt particularly mean Im wrong, doesnt particularly mean you are. Only thing you can truly say is that both opinions are different and until there isnt a scientific experimentation, neither you nor I will be able to prove one another wrong. And trust me, Id love you, or anyone really to be able to prove me wrong, as I would then be certain how things really are.
