He's not even blaming the talented for their "privilege" or whatever, just admitting that being outmatched by the gifted even when you hard work at something is frustating, nothing wrong with that.

These niggas are so fucking stupid and I hate them, every artist has this same fucking comic, where they think that someone was just born being da vinchi when they have been working at it for LITERALLY YEAAAARS!!!

meanwhile they are on hiatus year round and stuck in a shitty style that they defend all criticism of and refuse to try new things. "WAAAAAH why arn't I improving!?"

Artists are the biggest faggots, I fucking swear.

People hate admitting that sometimes no matter how much hard work if you have no you can never catch up to people who is.

Even worse is when they actually believe that talented people don't work just as hard to get good at things.

>>386647646

That's the stupidest thing ever. They practice their damn art. The only reason why someone would supposedly be "good" than the other person is mentality. If someone if drawing thinking "well fuck, I never drew anything before" and the other person isn't thinking the same despite never drawing before, what is gonna happen? There's no logic behind talent.

>>386647994

>Who replies something like that to a girl IRL anyway?

Because it didn't happen. She is just strawmanning like most female webcomic artists.

I'm really good at fighting games and pretty good at some shooters.

>>386648116

Bullshit, I know tons of people who are good at drawing but don't practice and think it's a waste of time.

>I know tons of people who are good at drawing but don't practice and think it's a waste of time

How do you know they aren't lying? When it comes to art you can easily hide that shit. Your friends could be drawing porn for all you know and claim they hate art.

>>386647406
I'd say that the main thing behind talent isn't even aptitude, it's enjoyment of the learning process. I struggled for 9 years learning how to draw and hated every moment of it because I hate drawing but like making art. I didn't improve very much. But within a week of picking up a welder I was making pretty damn good sculptures out of steel because not only was it intuitive, but doing it was fun.

There are only a few people who start off incredible, that's not talent that's genius. But what most people call talent is actually just people that like doing the practice and so do it all the time. so while the normal person makes sure to draw at least an hour a day and feels like they're working hard because practice feels like work, the talented person is drawing 5 hours a day and enjoying it, not only are they doing more but they are feeling positive about the experience which speeds up improvement even more.

"Talent" just means "Willing to work harder than you and not bitch about it"

>>386646884

No? The only real mention of homosexuality in the Qur'an is the story of Lot, which is fairly ambiguous. It certainly seems to condemn homosexual relationships but it could also be referring to wanton sexual behavior, or rape. It definitely doesn't discuss any type of practical legal punishment either

Literally all christians pick and match - some do a little bit of it, some do a ton.
For example, in christian countries, atheists are greatly underrepresented in prisons. Implying that most criminals - murderers, rapists, pedophiles, terrorists - must be christian.
They always find a way to make it totally moral by their religion.

Whoever made this is really salty. Talent is a meme excuse because half the time someone "talented" just quickly passed through plateaus in something because of a better beginning approach/more drive then alot of other people half assing something. To call hard work talent is just to degrade someone because they put more quality into their work.

I'm bad at all kinds of video games, racing games are probably the genre I am "least" bad at, but I'm still pretty bad.
That's why I don't really like multiplayer games, although I've been trying to git gud for some time now, maybe even I can play multiplayer games casually without losing my shit.

Ahistorical. The secular governments of 50s-80s were far superior to the islamic ones of today. They were toppled when the CIA created the predecessor to Al-Qaeda and the Taliban to install a (hopefully) US-aligned government. This is what they did all over the world. Look at Iran's theocratic state today compared to the one the US and UK overthrew in the 1950s.

It's not really that straight forward. Homosexuality is only really forbidden because the institution of marriage is exclusively between a man and a woman, and any type of sexual relationship outside of wedlock is illegal. It's literally only explicitly mentioned once in the Quran and it's in the context of "sodomy", which is why jurists and Quranic scholars argue about the permissibly of anal sex with a woman. Lots of bullshit hadith about it though I suppose. Trans is obviously not mentioned at all since it wasn't understood to exist.

Decades of nolife FPS gaming have honed my hand-eye coordination to peak human performance. My carefully conditioned reaction times and twitch reflexes easily beat those of the black-tailed mongoose known for its speed, and I am capable of moving my forearm muscles with robotic precision.

Carefully listening to enemy footsteps in Counter-Strike has tuned my hearing to the point where I can hear the heartbeat and respiration of a hare fifty yards away, and immediately pinpoint its location in complete darkness. Identifying enemy weaponry and equipment by its sound has familiarized me with thousands of military and civilian weapons and vehicles; I can easily recognise a Hind-D even over the sound of a thunderstorm.

Peering at individual pixels while holding the most minuscule of corners has sharpened my eyesight to almost raptorian levels. Camouflage is all but useless against me. I can read 12pt text written in Comic Sans from up to 74 feet away, and can identify a monitor's refresh rate with three hertz precision up to 638Hz. Wearing my stylish and comfortable Gunnar™ gaming glasses has protected my eyes from near-sightedness as a result of staring at a screen all day.

My incredibly low mouse sensitivity has toned my upper body muscles to those of a professional athlete. Being perfectly ambidextrous, I alternate my mouse hand to balance the gains on both sides of my body. Playing Ingress and Pokemon Go during scrimming off-days has kept my lower body in shape too.

"good at games" guy reporting in. i'm also pretty good at learning stuff outside video games, like math or whatever

i'm good at whatever games where i can rely on intuition, muscle memory and reading other people. so i tend to do well in PvP games, shooters, brawlers, assfaggots too.

a lot of people in my life have noticed me always stomping in whatever game, and them saying it's an innate talent annoys me. my good vidya gameying skills are derived from me being an autistic fuck who refuses to give up on something until i master it or get bored. i will spend 7 hours in a row failing at something, and then i will get it right once and i will be satisfied with myself. the only "talent" i have is having a dopamine release when i outdo myself.

>>386652627
I have not only improved physically, but mentally as well. Tens of thousands of shitposts on various community forums such as HLTV, Crossfire, and /v/ have made me a social and literary genius. My shotcalling experience has transformed me into an inspiring leader, and playing CS:GO matchmaking in the EU has given me an understanding of international relations rivaling that of most foreign ministers. I might have a promising career in politics ahead of me once I quit esports after achieving everything a gamer could possibly want to achieve.

Having to learn dozens of different games and hundreds or thousands of different maps has improved my memory and learning capabilities. My natural genius and calm, analytical character have obviously helped greatly as well. During the time it takes for me to walk from the bicycle rack to the front door of the grocery store, I can memorize the license number of every car in the parking lot and perfectly recall them days later.

Interacting with the international gaming community has made me fluent in five languages, including Japanese, Russian, and Korean. I speak them all with only the slightest accent, completely imperceivable to all but the most astute of listeners, and write them with impeccable grammar. My combined vocabulary across all the languages I know is over 150 000 words.


This is what it means to be a gamer. I am by no stretch the only one. There are many like myself, and we are the future of mankind.

Success is balance of talent, hard work and luck.
The amount of each one you need for something differs from one thing to another, and each of them can compensate the lack of one.
The most talented and hardworking guy can get shit if he never had the chance to show his skills, and at the same time, getting the chance to do so is useless if you don't have the necessary level at that moment.

Therefore, my motto would be: "Work hard, don't think too much about talent, try to improve yourself at your own pace and take as much chances to show what you can do as possible"

Because my brain is hardwired to think I still live in a small tribe and the knowledge that someone is better than me means that my chances of passing on my lineage are in the gutter because even though there are 7 billion people on the world I'm programmed to think there are only 70 and how am I going to find a mate when all 35 women in the village are going to want to fuck Johnny Depp and Bill Gates instead of me.

That is actually a problem in modern society, we got too huge and too connected too fast and so there's dissonance. It's why you get unreasonably upset when someone is better than you even if they live on the other side of the world. Your instincts don't understand you're watching some 10yo bust out sick riffs on a computer screen and you'll never actually meet them or compete with them, it's just screaming OH FUCK NOW ALL THE WOMEN WILL WANT HIM INSTEAD OF ME.

Work smarter you baboon. Work smarter. No matter how much you draw, if you can't figure out the tricks to smooth curves and proper shading, your art will NEVER improve and will instead plateau before stagnating. Like 90% of the tumblr artists out there.

It's the same with video games. You don't brute force your way through in Monster Hunter. You get smarter. You learn.

You don't spend 6 years in school for a doctorate and then expect to just get the job that opens up. You have to network, get to know people, and find your way in. You have to work SMART, not HARD. Hard work is for people who have no drive in life and wind up doing shit like retail or menial labor.

>>386645838
Yes, but not so much against people. This was an annoying problem given how expensive games were. I beat them too fast, even with 100% completions. I just had a knack for thinking like a game developer.

One time one of my friends was looking for a power up item that was hidden in a game, it took me just a few minutes to find it because it was hidden exactly where I would have hid it. Weak spots, tactics and just about anything else just seems obvious to me. It even works with AI in high speed fighting games, but not with human players. So I can beat the game senseless, even with punishing settings, but often lose to other players.

Wind Waker was the worst, I beat it in 14 hours on the first run and that was with me leaving it running for lunch and bathroom breaks. I think I could beat it in 6 hours if I actually tried more, compared to the 4 hour is the world speed record other do.

I beat Boss > Boss kills Everyone
yet
Everyone beats me

It is largely why I stopped playing games. They were just too easy and there were other less expensive ways to have fun.

I'm inclined to say no. I think my successes in games are built more on stubbornness than actual skill. Even if I do progress further into a game than most might or get difficult achievements that few other players seem to, it's only because I'm more willing to go through the repetitive struggle instead of giving up. That's not really a skill, just a personality defect.

>>386647994

No, it doesn't fucking happen. What happens is people try to insert themselves into "nerd culture" because it's "trendy." When conversations they hold inevitably reveal that they don't know what the fuck they're talking about, they get super defensive about it and fabricate an oppression narrative because it makes them not feel retarded

are you lying or just illiterate?

quick rundown of recent (post WW2) afghan history:

until the late 70s, afghanistan was a monarchy. things were mostly stable.
then the local moscow-backed communist party staged a coup and ousted the king.
then local reactionaries rose against the soviet backed communists, starting an insurgency. washington supported them.
then the afghan communists broke ties with moscow.
then the USSR ordered an intervention, both to quell the anti-communist rebellion in afghanistan and to replace the local uppity communist leaders with moscow loyalists. they succeeded in taking over the government, but they did not succeed in quelling the rebellion.
then came an entire decade of insurgency and guerilla warfare against soviet occupation that devastated the country.
then came the soviet withdrawal, followed by more unrest and the eventual taliban takeover.

you kids and your retardedly simplistic view of history are really fucking sad

If you ever spout the "effort doesn't matter, only results" line, you are in fact admitting that talent is a thing.

>>386663580
Of course talent exists, but anyone who tries to coast off talent alone is probably going to fail unless they're actually a genius.

>>386663580
in the end nobody gives a shit whether you delivered your results due to a gorillion hours of hard work or due to being a mega genius.
in the end, people care about whether you deliver results or not.

if you think you are not talented enough to compete with others in the field, then go into a different field.
if you think you aren't good at anything then you might as well kill yourself lmao

When i was 16 i was a god of 1.6 surf. But it was kinda hard work cos i've started when i was ~13

>>386663934
even an actual genius still has to put in a ton of work to make it.
the world (especially the internet) is fucking FULL of would-be geniuses who went nowhere because they didn't put in the work. we all know the kind of guy who is "smart but lazy" or "wasted potential". the world is full of these guys.

tl;dr no man can actually coast by on talent alone. women can kind of coast by on looks alone if they're willing to spread their legs, but that's the end of it.

Ciao Samus!

>>386664194
this is so true and no one realizes it

i'm a naturally gifted artist, really good at drawing ever since i was a kid. then, i went to art school and got lazy because i could cost through most of the assignments. i started focusing less on drawing and more on photography, film.

i saw a kid that i swear to fucking God could barely draw a stick figure go from that to being a better illustrator than me. how did he do it? he spent every day practicing and drawing and sketching, while i was working on different stuff. however, he never held a candle to a different kid that was both super talented and ALSO drew every day.

tl, dr, talent is nice, hard work is nice, talent + hard work is king.

RPGs

I always thought RPGs don't really count, but I see lots of normies that can't do basic shit, maybe its just an IQ thing?

I wish my parents never said I was smart. Why would they lie to me like that? Why would my teachers lie like that? They must have known I'd figure out the truth someday.

Woohoo!

>I'm so smart, I'll surely succeed any day now
"Potential" in regards to human achievement doesn't exist. It's a made up concept to make yourself/others feel better about not doing shit or just failing.
I just turned 24 and it took me a good 5 years to realize this - at the end of the day the deciding factor between your success and failure will be the work you put in combined with pure luck.

>>386667595
being smart and doing something with it are different things, there are lots of smart people that don't apply themselves and have shit lives.

in the end being smart is just your ability to understand stuff, thats why IQ tests are overrated. Marshawn lynch supposedly has an IQ of like 170 or some shit but he acts like a stupid nigger most of the time because he doesn't ever need to be smart most of the time.

The hard work thing isn't a meme.

I suppose. For me, it went to shit with videogames. Cut down on my social engagement with my friends, spent most my time solving virtual problems instead of real life ones.

I think I could get a degree just from the time I wasted on DotA and DotA 2.

Reminder he literally made this based in a paroody comic

Is "talent" even real? Isn't talent just residual skill from similar but not quite the same type of tasks?

Basically anything but racing games and mobas I'm pretty good at. I wouldn't say I'm good at fighting games but I'm better than your average scrub.

>>386669752
Seems like being brutally honest with yourself. Chances are, if you think like that, whatever you can amount to isnt much anyway. I know, I think like that as well.

But hey, I can play hardcore strategy games like there is no tomorrow. Cool, marketable skill at any time of day.

>>386669924
The thread is making s false dildmma between talent and overachiving. You can have talent and do nothing with, just like how you can work hard, and accomplish nothing. The facility of your work ethic and your natural talent has nothing to do with your efficacy in solving problems because problem solving is not a virtue like hard work or talent, it's a learned ability.

>>386669924
"Talent" is people with higher IQ being able to grasp things quicker than people with lower IQ, so yeah, to an extent it's this:
>similar but not quite the same type of tasks?

>>386670174
I see where you're coming from, but I think it's okay to have at least a little confidence in yourself.

Also kinda jealous of you with the whole "being good at strategy games" thing, I'm only really good at rhythm games and RPGs

Talent is just an adaptability, your intelligence quotient determines your ability to find patterns and solve problems. If IQ were talent then you would have everyone with a 120IQ on broadway doing backflips.

>That's kind of a horrible way of thinking
No, that is actually a really healthy way of thinking.
The real question is: how do you further interpret that. Because you can view this mostly accurate statement as a sign of some kind of either failure, or injustice (as in "I DESERVED to be someone globabaly relevant, but SOMETHING or SOMEONE betrayed me and deprived me of that option). That is indeed a terrible, terrible interpretation, which will lead either to self-loathing, or resentment.
Self-loathing is going to kill you.
Resentment is going to kill and probably kill some other people too.

On the other hand, you can interpret this as an admission of poorly constructed and defined goals in life, and opportunity to re-design them. Because honestly, the problem is not that most of us won't become great writers, artists, politicians... but the fact that we deluded ourselves into thinking that is what life is supposed to be about and work towards.

So if you treat this admission right, it should lead you to realization that securing smaller, more realistic goals and values, such as becoming a decent person, becoming a decent partner, maybe becoming a decent parent is actually FAR more realistic, far more attainable, but EQUALLY as satisfying and gratifying.

So no, it's really not inherently a bad way to think - it's just that the thought process must not end just with this realization.

It's not so much IQ as having a brain predisposed to do certain things well. Like, Beethoven was a genius musician but he couldn't do maths for shit.

General intelligence will always help but I wouldn't say it's the same as talent

>>386670963
Well, the most vocal people from /pol/ are usually radical alt-right, and alt-right has usurped the term "conservative" much in the same way radical left usurped the term "liberal".
Sure, /pol/ is by no means conservative in the traditional sense (and leftists are not liberals in traditional sense), but they sure as fuck want others to think that is who they are. And since they are so god-fucking-damn vocal and aggressive and pushy, and surrounded with additional layers of fucking "ironic" imitators and falsefaggers too, it's not really surprising that people are associating pol with conservativism.

>>386670938
>If IQ were talent then you would have everyone with a 120IQ on broadway doing backflips
I disagree. Not everyone with an above average IQ applies themselves equally or has the exact same work ethic. But out of the people who do apply themselves - those with higher IQ will learn things or master skills quicker.
>your intelligence quotient determines your ability to find patterns and solve problems
Well yes and both of those determine your capability to learn new things.

>>386671304
Yeah but you're ignoring the etymological and semiological standards of talent. Talent is being able to suck dick so well that it turns you both on, IQ is being able to determine the pattern in what your partner likes orally. They're mutually exclusive, you can't be talented and have a high IQ and be a savant, you can however be talented and a savant, or have a high IQ and be a savant. The test is designed to measure your ability in learning new things through patterns and problem solving, if you were talented, you could still fail miserably on an IQ test and be really good at playing video games or sucking cock.

There are different types of "high IQ", sure. There's a person who's an insanely good orator and debater and there's a person who does advanced calculus at the age of 3.
None of them could do what the other does, but that doesn't mean they don't have high IQ. Both Beethoven and Mozart would score high on an IQ test, for instance, their capability to do math is irrelevant in this case.
