I understand that there are substitutes for schools. I agree that audiobooks do the job. I learn how a Sine Function works in school and I learn how math was invented with audiobooks back in my home. I agree that schools aren't needed, and the whole purpose of schools for me is to increase my social capabilities. I usually ace tests if I am being careful enough.
Debating and owning a computer is a quality of non-poor people. Middle classes and Rich people debate using computers. Poor people can't afford computers in most capitalistic states, and they need to go to school. School is useful for some people, but not all.

I have seen RM, Bsh1, and Wylted do it. I don't know why they request to be banned because it seems to make no sense, like if I did nothing wrong why do I want to be banned? I think the moderators know more about this than me or most other people out there, so I will inquire them about it.

1. Mario Kart is meant to be a party racing game that is fun. It should not be of the same sorts as Forza or GT5, etc... It is more about the skill and less about the karts regardless.
2. No karts(Or bikes or ATV) are meant to be reliably true to real life. There is no point of having stats.
3. In Mario Kart 8 Dx, the best looking karts and wheels are often avoided by Pro gamers and competition usuals. Instead, the best wheels are rollers which look f***ing ridiculous and the best karts/bikes are the biddy buggy, day tripper, Mr.scooty, etc, all of them don't look fast yet they function better than the Circuit Special and the Mercedes GLA. If you gotta make the stats, at least make it make sense. Again, since it is not meant to be a serious racing game whatsoever, people should choose whatever vehicle they like without analyzing its effects.
4. In Mario Kart Wii, you won't see dry bones without a Bullet Bike, and that is rare compared to Funky Kong with the Flame Runner. About 90% of all uses this combo. You literally don't see Mario with the Day Tripper, nor a Dry Bowser with the Jet setter(Well unless the user is trying to challenge himself, and that is extremely rare). Having stats means people are prioritizing some stats over others, and this will make the rooms monotonous consider there will be vehicles better than others. Then more than 50% of the choices will go to waste consider they don't spike at the most desirable stats.

I know this might be overrated and overasked for some of you out there, but can you answer this question?
I am not that experienced and knowing that my Ranking has gone 1518 to 1445, I want to know the answers to these questions:
1. How to avoid overusing semantics in debates?
2. Overall, what debate topics are the most popular, and what are the least popular? What is the dominant view within this site?
3. What makes an argument "good"?

@RationalMadman
My Reasons are as follow:
1. N64 players vary in quality. It is easier to make something like a blue shell because the computer players will either be ultra instinct or trash. Some computer players are to be better than others, and the way to make the race seem like a race is by a blue shell.
2. Encourage new players. Imagine a game wherein the first game you get crushed so hard you didn't even come close to finishing, it will discourage you. On the Contrary, Mario Kart has balanced items where you are more likely to get a star than a coin in 10th place. It encourages new players to play more, and when you at 2nd place 3rd lap, a blue shell would make your day much better.
3. There are already such items. If it is really meant to be really fair, then we should able to get Crazy 8 in 1st place, and coins in 12th place.
4. It teaches a lesson that nothing is fair. However, it teaches you to get good. You should be able to be as good as that one blue shell won't lose you in the first place.

Any thoughts on this? Blue shells are pretty much known so if you know about Mario Kart, you know blue shell.

That's confusing. I heard Wylted was banned for an eternity because he did something bad, so my mind automatically thought that RM did something naughty on the site but I couldn't believe it because he has always been a good guy. I thought there has to be some explanation. Then this is it. So this is how you can leave this site and make sure no one sabotages it.

"Race" is a biological construct. If your skin color is white, then you're white, no matter how smart/stupid you are. If your skin color is Black, then no matter how clever/dumb you are, you are still black. However, it is not the race causing the problems, it is the stereotypes. If all black Americans are categorized as stupid and primitive(Which I accept exists but that still doesn't make it true), then does this mean that no matter how black your skin is, as long you have an IQ of 160, you are not black? no. Race is judged by skin color and DNA, and it is not an adequate form of social categorization.

I concede and agree with you. This thing certainly can happen but not guaranteed. Saying "Communism doesn't work" in a scenario better than every communist nation that has ever existed may not work.

That is a coincidence and is by no means a given.
Happiness will clock somewhere unless you are dead before happiness can come, which is unlikely. If it is sad and it doesn't kill you, it is most likely that happiness will come.

A poor person getting $10,000:
Sleepless nights Working on Project;
Online courses about marketing, 3d-modeling, coding, etc... Having to absorb all boring information;
Actually doing the work, and having to learn how to make friends because he really needed help;
Weeks of planning;
Pay the rents, pay the loans(Currently at -$10,000 from start balance);
Go out of the house, market, make friends, expand the internet settlement through the website(Currently at the value of the start balance);
Research, Buy houses, survey, etc... Invest in stocks and real estate, etc...
Getting 10,000$(End, taking about 9 steps, very happy)
A spoiled rich person getting $10,000:
Grab Credit Card, click on the phone(One step, little happiness)
The former is MUCH happier than the latter for $10,000, and that's how. Happiness is subjective of what you do, but it is objective that:
1. The more effort you put into the happier you will be
Also, the latter personality loves SPENDING money instead of EARNING money. Spending is hedonistic and she will get tired as soon as there is a single tear in her Gucci, whereas the former is still happy even if his apartment is creaked and the computer a very old model. The former will invest more and get more money, and the latter will get more money from the cash machine and buy more Gucci than she would need. Both scenarios are portraying that people just want to be what's happy. Hedonistic joy can take the lead if the resources are enough, and that is the reason why some kingdom collapsed because the resources are scarce and the demand is overwhelming. Long-term and effort-wise contentment lasts longer and require less money and resources for fuel consider it comes from himself, and keeping himself optimistic requires less effort than keeping a whole money-printing machine running, generally speaking.

Indirect acts to happiness are any act that leads to happiness. Example: Suffering-> Happiness. It could be as many steps as possible.
Direct acts to happiness are any activities that can cause happiness without doing anything else. Hedonistic actions are so. It is always one step.
Chains could be as such: Suffering(Getting an F) -> Suffering(Kicked out of the house) -> Suffering(Homeless) ->Suffering(Assault) ->Happiness(Meeting someone of similar situations, becoming friends). This act, compared to a Tik Tok star having a new friend, which is: Happiness(Stand by the door, get a boyfriend): The first one is happier because more is put into this happiness. It requires 5 steps whereas the latter is one simple step. In conclusion, more effort put into this happiness, the happier he is.

In other words, the longer you build up by suffering, the more joy. This is why many people, especially optimistic ones and the ones who had a lot, agree to suffer because they know happiness will come. Essentially, everything you do is directly or indirectly linked to happiness. Hedonistic happiness is direct for 1 step and that won't last very long.

@PressF4Respect
Hedonistic? No. Every event of hedonistic happiness is temporary and it will be gone. Today's sufferings will be tomorrow's glory, as someone whom I forgot his name said. No one wants to suffer. They want to suffer because it is building up to future happiness. Some entrepreneurs suffered learning to code just so he could be master at coding and technology and that will give him a very adequate job and furtherly a million-dollar company.

I am going with a philosophy in the cores but I don't know who. Making babies give you contentment because:
1. In the beginning, you have sex, which makes you happy generally.
2. A baby is adorable!
3. A baby extends your family line, which will make you happy consider you can educate him/her yourself and see him successful, etc.

does money really buy happiness?
Money, in itself, does not buy happiness directly. However, it can buy things that can bring you happiness, which is indirect.
is a ginger-man made out of his house, or his house made of his flesh?
Neither. They are separate entities. Since animal meat and human meat are made of roughly the same substance, does that mean every non-vegetarian cannibalizes? If a building is made in the same stuff that constructs one of the tables, does that mean that the building come from the table directly, or that the table is cut off of the building's material?
these questions haunt me and shall haunt all of man till the end of time
I don't know if it is because I am smart or what but these questions are explainable.

Your stance, if spread to the people, may damage feminism, which may not seem so bad, but may damage equality itself, according to me.
First, you stated that simps aren't and will not be kings, which can be proven false, but knowing the run-of-the-mill type of people will trust everything the media says(which your stance may be spread across the internet that it is trending to hate Simps), then filtering off the non-simps and the self-confident, you will find millions of people in just North America alone that have to either force their life bitter and/or even being dishonest about themselves. This is the same thing that is happening in the Middle East because of some political laws forcing the discrimination of homosexuality.
Hating Simps will eventually mean being proud of not being a Simp, and as I am familiar with the run-of-the-mill people, they tend to be polar about things, so hating Simps will potentially lead to male privileges or women discrimination.
I understand that I may wrong, so I will ask you what is wrong about this.
