What discussion you know you are on the wrong side of? (lemmy.ml)

Maybe you haven't been convinced by a good enough argument. Maybe you just don't want to admit you are wrong. Or maybe the chaos is the objective, but what are you knowingly on the wrong side of?

In my case: I don't think any games are obliged to offer an easy mode. If developers want to tailor a specific experience, they don't have to dilute it with easier or harder modes that aren't actually interesting and/or anything more than poorly done numbers adjustments. BUT I also know that for the people that need and want them, it helps a LOT. But I can't really accept making the game worse so that some people get to play it. They wouldn't actually be playing the same game after all...

Same! I have 100% certainty in any topic that I happen to be on, and if i'm not 100% certain then I immediately excuse myself and hold my hands to ears screaming "lalala I have no opinion!" because it would be ignorant of me to even debate a topic I am not a complete expert on, said no one ever.

Come on. Discussions aren't binary. There are bits of that side you agree with, and bits of the other side you agree with and that weird eclectic mix puts you on uncertain spectrum that mostly leans to one side but oscillates in the middle at times, and that's completely okay because it's how you update your priors by being corrected by others whilst understanding that a lot of well informed stances are balancing on a few struts
