2024.11.25 23:41 Substantial_Ad_533 Seller Won’t Respond

In September I purchased an item (Christmas train) and it was advertised as having some of the tracks missing. I was okay with that and purchased it but when I received it there were a few aesthetic pieces broken/missing that were not advertised or shown. I reached out to the seller and their response was that since I was buying something used I should expect it to not be in perfect condition. I let it go but now I’m decorating for Christmas and noticed that almost every single train track piece is broken at the edge and are unable to latch together so the train won’t even run on the track. I messaged the seller, I’d like a refund at this point and will even return it but they’re not answering me. Would this count under eBay’s buyer protection?

2024.11.25 23:41 Sad-Mycologist6287 The Locus of Control Lie: Why "Owning Your Shit" Is a Biological Illusion

The self-help industry thrives on a seductive promise: that you can change your life by changing your mindset. Gurus and motivational speakers push the idea of shifting your Locus of Control (LOC) from external to internal, urging you to take full responsibility for your life. They glorify the idea of "owning your shit," insisting that success comes only to those who believe they are the masters of their own destiny.
But this narrative is a lie—a comforting delusion built on ignorance of how human behavior truly operates. Physical determinism shatters the myth of control, exposing every decision, action, and so-called "choice" as nothing more than the inevitable outcome of preprogrammed neural circuits responding to external stimuli. The concept of control—internal or external—is a scam, perpetuated by those who profit from your belief in an illusion.
Defining Locus of Control: A Mythical Framework Locus of Control (LOC) LOC refers to the degree to which individuals believe they influence the outcomes in their lives:

Internal LOC: The belief that outcomes are a result of one’s own actions, effort, and decisions.
External LOC: The belief that outcomes are controlled by external forces such as luck, fate, or systemic conditions.

Self-help enthusiasts claim that shifting to an internal LOC is the key to success and personal growth. They position it as a moral imperative: if you fail, it’s your fault for not taking control. However, both forms of LOC are built on the erroneous assumption of agency—the belief that individuals have the power to influence outcomes in a deterministic universe.
The Core Reality: Physical Determinism What Is Physical Determinism? Physical determinism posits that all events, including human actions, are the inevitable result of prior causes. Your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are dictated by neural processes, genetic predispositions, and environmental inputs—not by any autonomous "self."
The Mechanism of Illusion

Neuroscience Debunks Free Will: Studies show that the brain initiates actions hundreds of milliseconds before conscious awareness of “deciding” them. Your sense of control is an afterthought—a narrative constructed by thought to explain what the body has already done.
Environmental Conditioning: The beliefs and behaviors you think are “yours” are shaped by external inputs from birth: culture, upbringing, and random circumstances.
Automated Responses: Every action you take is a mechanical response to stimuli, executed by the machinery of your biology. Your so-called "choices" are predetermined outputs of this system.

Anticipating Counterarguments Counterargument 1: "If we have no control, why bother doing anything?" This objection stems from a false dichotomy between control and paralysis. The machinery of life operates regardless of belief in control. You eat when hungry, move when required, and engage with the world—not because “you” decide, but because the biological system executes. Recognizing the absence of control does not stop the machinery; it merely strips away the illusion of autonomy.
Counterargument 2: "A deterministic system doesn’t negate influence or effort." Influence and effort are not refutations of determinism; they are its outcomes. Effort is a preprogrammed response to stimuli, shaped by genetic and environmental factors. You don't "choose" to try harder or "decide" to influence others. These actions unfold automatically, as part of the deterministic web of causation.
Counterargument 3: "But I feel like I’m making choices." Feelings are part of the illusion. The brain produces a convincing narrative of choice and control because it’s evolutionarily advantageous. This feeling is not evidence of free will—it is evidence of thought’s role in maintaining the illusion of self.
The Self-Help Industry: Selling the Illusion of Control How Self-Help Exploits LOC

Shifting Blame: Self-help promotes internal LOC as empowerment, but this is a double-edged sword. If success is within you, failure must also be your fault. This absolves external systems—like socioeconomic inequality—of accountability, shifting the burden entirely to the individual.
The Endless Chase: Gurus promise transformation but ensure perpetual dissatisfaction. By keeping you striving for an unattainable ideal, they trap you in an endless cycle of self-blame and improvement.
False Empowerment: The promise of internal LOC reinforces the illusion of agency, keeping you blind to the deterministic processes governing your life.

Dismantling LOA and Manifestation The Law of Attraction (LOA) claims that your thoughts create reality and that "manifesting" desires is as simple as aligning with the universe's vibrations. This is pseudo-scientific nonsense:

Physical Reality Ignores Thought: Thoughts do not alter reality; they are byproducts of neural activity with no causal influence on external events.
Victim Blaming in Disguise: LOA suggests that failure to manifest desires is your fault for not thinking positively enough, compounding guilt and self-blame.
Thought as Noise: LOA elevates thought to divine status, ignoring its true nature as meaningless biological noise, incapable of influencing deterministic processes.

The Illusion of Change What About Change? Change happens, but not because you will it. It is the inevitable result of new inputs interacting with your existing programming.

Trauma rewires neural pathways.
New information alters behavioral patterns.
Biological processes like aging transform capabilities and desires.

These changes are not "yours." They occur because the machinery adjusts to conditions, not because “you” decided to change.
Self-Help’s Biggest Lie Self-help argues that adopting an internal LOC creates lasting transformation. But physical determinism reframes change as mechanical, indifferent, and automatic. The machinery doesn’t care about your intentions—it just adapts.
Rejecting Locus of Control Internal LOC: A Comforting Delusion The belief that effort and willpower dictate success is a post-hoc rationalization. It sustains the myth of self-determination but offers no basis in reality.
External LOC: A Convenient Distraction Blaming external forces doesn’t solve the puzzle either. These forces are simply part of the deterministic system influencing the machinery.
Deterministic Reality: The Final Truth There is no control—internal or external. There is only the unfolding of automatic processes shaped by biology, environment, and causation. The distinction between internal and external LOC is irrelevant, a meaningless construct imposed on a mechanistic reality.
Conclusion: The Futility of Control Self-help gurus preach the mantra, “Own your shit,” but what if there is no “you” to own anything? The machinery of existence runs on its own, indifferent to your beliefs or illusions of control.

Internal LOC and external LOC are nothing more than stories told by thought to sustain the illusion of self.
True clarity comes not from shifting mindsets or manifesting desires but from seeing through the lie of agency.

You are not the thinker, the doer, or the owner of your actions. You are the witness to a machine running itself—a cog in an indifferent, deterministic system.
The machinery does not care about empowerment, freedom, or success. It just runs, endlessly and relentlessly. The greatest act of “self-help” is to stop pretending otherwise and let the machinery hum along, indifferent to your illusions, as it always has.

2024.11.25 23:41 oneeeeno How is the new weapon crates feature supposed to change the "run to get a gun asap"?

In patch 0.2.0 the patch notes say:

WEAPONS REWORK The “run to get a gun asap” META has been a problem since the beginning of the game and we are happy to finally introduce the intended way of obtaining guns, that should bring more strategy around gun related decisions.

Guns now exclusively spawn in the new Weapon Crates. Weapon crates spawns at fixed locations across the map and require cracking a code to open. Once opened, the crate reveals its content in shaped foam that lets the other players know what was inside.
I am confused how is this supposed to solve the problem. It seems that the only thing it will change is that now you would be able to know which weapons were picked in the map. People will now run to open weapon creates instead of searching for weapons. I haven't played yet, but it seems that since now those are in fixed locations, it will cause people to run to get them even more than before.
What do you guys think?

2024.11.25 23:41 vortexmak Comparison of all Dex options

I'm still unable to find a good laptop replacement and easy to use option for Dex. Here's a table that I made comparing pros and cons of all the options for Dex

Laptop -Full size device -Hard to keep charged, don't always connect to power like phone -Hard to keep data synced, have to take it out and turn on +Used laptops are Cheap and more power +Can use Dex for Windows or Scrcpy - In real use, Dex on Windows lags a lot
Lapdock -You're still carrying a laptop sized device -Added jankiness of connecting the phone and cords +Full size laptop form factor +Integrated battery keyboard, ports and mouse +Can connect other sources other than phone
Portable monitor with keyboard and powerbank -Worst jankiness of connecting multiple cords -No stable base +Cheap +Can work if you can find smaller monitor 12/13 inches
AR Glasses -Limited clarity -More jankiness +Compact
Foldable Phone -Small Display -Fragile -Very Expensive -No microSD +No powerbank, cables needed. Can have integrated stand, just take out keyboard mouse and start working +Compact

I'm 25 and never been in a relationship and it's been years since I last had sex. I try so hard to impress guys and go above and beyond to make a mark since I know I'm not the average gay pretty guy but no matter what I try nothing works, no one wants to date me or have sex with me. I feel awful, I feel like I haven't done anything right even though I know I'm on the right path, it's just so hard, like why me? Why do I have to go through all of this? Why couldn't I just be a handsome and muscular guy that every guy on the face of the planet would fall for? I just wish I could feel good about being me but my lack of a love life makes me feel miserable, like I'm a failure.
