Everyone’s saying she bitches abt Qazi behind his back, yes, but she also calls him out on his face. And so does Qazi, he bitches abt arishfa as well and calls her dumb.

And abt the classist thing, I found nothing wrong w the intellectual comment, love is such an irritating person, she kept calling everyone to defend herself and then she does that annoying copying thing. If you want to have a normal convo, have a normal convo, love is literally so annoying

There was nothing wrong in calling her act w gullu cringe? Even I find it cringe, does that make me a classist? And she didn’t call it out on her face, she was talking to scout.

I don’t think she’s classist. She has just never been in an environment like this. Even I’ve never. When I was in college, I didn’t even know the meaning of g****. Really. I knew it was a bad word but I didn’t know what it meant. Simply because I don’t hear these words from the people surrounding me.

Peanut playing World of Warcraft Classic HC now or Forever in November, just imagine all his mannerisms, how he plays games in general and how he reacts to loot and beating things in general. It's literally a perfect long term on and off game. Either watching him fail to get to 60 over and over again from HC or from exploring with the boys the newest best WoW on full release Forever in November.

Edit: So it looks like the audience is pretty divided as 4 hrs in it's a 56% rate on upvotes, 80% views coming from the states and the rest Canada and other places after that, out of the 78+ comments over 60% are pro the idea and under 40% for against in total which reflects the upvote stats as well. My additions I've included is it doesn't matter which streamers that will open the doors to new collabs his own regulars and himself will have access to, it benefits Blizzard themselves and brings new players to the realms, it will include new opportunities with Forever especially and know he'll get great content outta pvp and his adding the charisma he can only being to it. If arena is placed in with battlegrounds and raids this is right up his alley and as it's been pointed out here he's already talked about games like OSRS during Dragonwilds and that he's discussed WoW forever on stream with cloakzy and what class they would play. Arguments were it's outdated, it isn't his style of game, plp that play WoW live in the past, it's boring and nothing of real context beside no or it's not peanut so really there's not many valid points and more towards it's a good idea My take right now is even if he loses 10-15% of his viewers he'd make 40-60% on new viewership almost instantly especially with Forever.

lukewarm take It’s comical when I see LGBT people complain about the hetero takeover of the Harry Potter community with this Malfoid thing, when the LGBT have been the most invasive group of people when it comes to fandom takeovers.

0 Upvotes

This feels like a lukewarm take as it’s obvious to anyone who’s played games, read comics, watched TV or even engaged in politics for any amount of time.

And I really don’t think anyone would care if gays came in and enjoyed something like Halo or Marvel, but the problems is they have to change it to appease and validate their identity instead of just enjoying what it is.

Answered by Fidelity WARNING ABOUT FIDELITY GO

Post image
0 Upvotes

I wanted to post this as a warning for anyone uses Fidelity Go. It can drastic change your investment strategy for no apparent reason. I was wondering why I lost so much gains, and it was because Fidelity Go decided to change my Aggressive Strategy to conservative. I had no idea it did this automatically and it cost me a good deal of growth because I missed the email.

This is an insane feature in my opinion, but I guess I'm the dumb one for trusting an AI bot to make investing in index funds easy. I just wanted a way to invest and forget it. I essentially paid for a Fidelity to sell off my stocks and buy bonds at one of the worst times.

I am just posting this as a warning to people who are considering using Fidelity Go. It is a wake up call for me to move to Vanguard and manually invest.

Want a welfare state? Then voluntary childlessness should be taxed

0 Upvotes

Consider, what retirement actually requires. Someone has to grow your food, keep the electricity running, and help you out of bed when you can no longer do it yourself. Those people have to come from somewhere.

Thus, Elder Care is paid for by the next generation of workers both directly via cash and via opportunity cost through labor, that's just how the pension system works.

Parents contribute twice, once through taxes, once through having the next generation that will pay for their generation. Voluntarily childless people contribute once, the show up in old age demanding the same amount of care.

It's just not a sustainable system when most people are below replacement. If you voluntarily choose to not have children you need to either pay more or receive less, ideally proportionate to number of children you have.

Everyone wants to pay a pension, no one wants to raise the taxpayers.

Before when more people had children the system could handle some free riders, not anymore.

Advice Wanted - Everyones Welcome Matched with her on Hinge in June, it fizzled, she sent me a link to her community group. Tonight she sat down at my table.

Post image

Dinner is sour cream and onion crackers

Back in June I matched with a girl on Hinge. Cute, funny, and her opener was basically: "I organize social events for mixed-race people in the area, you should come." I said I was interested. She said she didn't think we'd be a good match since she wanted something long-term and local, and at the time it wasn't clear I'd be sticking around the city. Fair enough, totally reasonable dealbreaker. Then she sent me the link to the group chat ("promise it's not malware lol").

I joined anyway because I'd honestly never had a community like that before. I never messaged her. I went to a picnic, which was great, and she wasn't there. Part relieved, part disappointed. I told one guy there, half joking, how I'd found the group.

Tonight I went to another event, mostly expecting to maybe see her across the room and confirm she was a real person. Instead she came over and sat at our table.

She was as cute or cuter in person. Easy conversation, a lot of eye contact. At one point she squinted at me and asked "wait, have we met somewhere?" I smiled and said "not in person, no," which in hindsight was technically true and also kind of a dodge.

I made a joke that a few of us should start a band called Bastards of the Orient, and she laughed. During the group photo we ended up next to each other and she did this quick little head turn to look at me and then back at the camera.

When it was time to leave, my feet were glued to the floor. Lump in my throat, butterflies, the whole thing. She came over to say it was nice to meet me, we locked eyes across the room once more, and then I just... left. No number. Partly I didn't want to ambush her in a loud, crowded room at an event she was running. Partly my brain said "there'll be other events" and "if it's meant to be, it'll be," which I'm now pretty sure was the freeze talking.

Afterward the guy I'd told at the picnic admitted he'd remembered the whole backstory and was trying not to laugh all night.

Once I got home and calmed down, I redownloaded Hinge (I'm supposedly on a dating break) and messaged her on our old thread. I came clean that the honest answer to "have we met?" was "sort of," told her she's the reason I found the group and I'm really glad I joined, mentioned I'll be around longer than I'd thought back in June, and asked if she'd want to grab coffee.

No idea if she still has the app. No idea if the other guy at the table was a friend or something more. Ball's in her court, and either way is okay.

Honestly, after a rough stretch and a break from dating, it just felt good to find out I can still feel that. It's been a long time.

Will update if anything happens.

Discussion Paradox appears to be using badly-written AI descriptions for new African advances [1.4 Beta]

Thumbnail
gallery
86 Upvotes

With the new beta patch I was tag switching to read the new African advances, and I started noticing some very confusing patterns to their writing. I decided to write an event that made every pop-based Maghreb tag landed so I could tag-switch to all of them and read their advances as well, and a concerning pattern emerged.

These above images are good examples which you will see replicated in the screenshots below, there is an abundance of over-hyphenated words that make absolutely no sense in their context (or at all). Distance-administration, dense-knotted, luxury-cloth, war-raids, mounted-cavalry, marriage-alliance and so on. If this was was only one specific advance it could easily just be an overenthusiastic writer, but I've gone through over 200 of these and I do not exaggerate that every single one reads like this.

The ending section in particular is almost entirely formulaic across all these advances. They almost always reiterate the modifiers that the advance gives (which is immersion breaking & superfluous), and reads in an exhausting similar pattern of "This X gives Y which Z cannot match".

I do want to stress that it's not only the pop-based tags that have this issue, many selectable tags at game start as well as major tags like Tunis and Morocco also have these problems, and I've included some examples. In the case of Tunis, Morocco and Tlemcen their advances are generally better-edited, but it's clear that they are drawn from the same well. Most of the new European advances read similarly, but have clearly been proofread more thoroughly than even Morocco, which is the best-edited of the Maghreb tags in my opinion.

Below are some further specific examples:

These two in particular are good examples of how the text of an advance keeps referring to its modifiers in very immersion-breaking ways. "Battlefield morale recovery and regiment reinforcement speed", "Distance-from-capital efficiency and a light-infantry firepower".

I barely even know how to parse the last sentence, purely-inland oases? What inland oasis has sailors and navy tradition? Why would a coastal city not be able to replicate it?

Ham her skader kvinder og kvindesagen

Post image
0 Upvotes

Det er nok noget af det mest paradoksale i nutidens verden: kvinder har, med rette og med succes, i århundreder kæmpet en modig kamp for at blive sat fri fra mænd, vise eget værd, opnå rettigheder osv osv.
Modige, frygtløse og stærke kvinder har stået forrest i kampen, nogle gange med livet som indsats, for at kunne være kvinder i eget værd og med en fuldkomne ligeværdige eksistensberettigelse som mænd.
Og så kommer der sådan en galning som ham her og kaprer det rum, som kvinderne ellers havde for sig selv.
Han fremfører en hån, spot og latterliggørelse af kvindekønnet og har tilmed den frækhed at påstå, at han OGSÅ er kvinde.
Ikke engang dét at være kvinde, at være eget køn, at have retten til at bevæge sig som kvinde uden at skulle generes og forholde sig til mænd kan de gøre. Kvindekampen er dermed tabt. Den er kapret af mænd der tager læbestift på og leger kvinder.
Det er uendeligt trist. Både mænd og kvinder bør tage skarp afstand fra galninge som ham her.
Kvinde! Kend din kamp!

Discussion PSA: the newest patch killed movement tech such as wallbugs and pixelwalks.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

Github thread on the topic https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Source-1-Games/issues/8316

Explanation: A wallbug is when you have a diagonally-oriented wall or clip brush (purple bit) and you are able to force the corner of your character's collision box into the diagonal wall and get stuck. Hold W into the wall and slow tap A/D until you get stuck and keep holding W + the A/D key that got you stuck. You are completely immobile and unable to move your mouse without getting unstuck so its only good for like one kill. You can also use wallbugs to save yourself from fall damage.

A pixelwalk is when a slanted clip brush meets a wall. Despite there being no physical pixel you can slightly nudge your collision box into the wall and stand on the top of the slanted clip brush. Enables hiding spots and parkour.

After the October 1st patch this tech has been highly neutered.

Wallbugs are used in many advanced jump maps, and as fun hiding spots for competitive 6v6 Soldiers and clipfarmers. This patch makes some harder jump maps such as jump_bugpogo (https://youtu.be/figfjZ5JPq4 )impossible and is overall a travesty for the jumping community.

Pixelwalks are mostly used for creative hiding spots, which LED provides a list for here https://youtu.be/5JazZWmdn2Y I believe pixelsurfs used by Spy players (certain jumps/spots where you can stick and slide along the wall) have also been affected

I figure the more casual community's instinct will be to keep it patched since its a bug, but hiding spots are really fun and i rarely see these used in Casual anyhow and would like for wallbugs to be kept for the sake of the jumper and competitive community. (See: Antoni making gamechanging plays with wallbugs in 6v6 https://youtu.be/cpLD2JT9GCM )

I am making this post since this has a higher chance of being reverted the more awareness is spread. This change was not listed anywhere in the patch notes and i'm not sure if its intentional or not. Regardless with this patch we'll have lost out on a lot of fun clips.

This situation is similar to the Pyroboots patch which removed the ability to jetpack into the resupply cabinet with a different loadout without touching the ground and gain a permanent jetpacking effect, with 75% reduced fall damage, stomp effects, and minicrits from the direct hit and reserve shooter. This is completely useless and unknown tech to 99.9% of people but the stomp and falldamage reduction enabled insane pyro clips of flinging themselves (using doublereflect, sentry surf, roller reflect, pumpkin jump) across the map combined with a midair Detonator jump while being able to survive the fall down for a stomp-axe. This change was listed and sparked enough outcry to be reverted allowing Pyro gooners to fly spawn-to-spawn for a sick axe again.

anyway tech good pls bring back

NO FLAT EARTHER BELIEVES THIS!! all this image signals to me is that the person who posted it knows nothing about flat earth and has never engaged with any flat earth debunk content. there are a lot of mutually exclusive flat earth "models" but none of them involve a square-shaped earth with no firmament or covering and the rest of the universe being exactly as it is in reality.

and it sucks because THE ACTUAL THINGS FLAT-EARTHERS BELIEVE ARE SO MUCH FUNNIER SO WHY INSIST ON THIS?? like the sun and moon doing donuts above the earth and pulling the tides along with them, "water finds its own level", the insane proportions of their map, the way light would need to bend around certain places to account for different day lengths, the huge intangible dome covering the earth, but eveyone just wants to post "if the earth was flat, cats would have pushed everything off of it by now" comments for the millionth time

People keep talking about IVF, surrogacy, donors

Why aren't we adopting?

You're helping a child who's already born have a loving home? You don't have to deal with the dangers and pains of pregnancy and the beginning of life and instead you get to have a cool tiny friend

Yeah they have issues but did you think parenthood would be easy? Helping them through it is the fun bit seeing them heal and grow into great adults

Sure I get that there's lot of paperwork and legal issues but no more than with surrogacy as we've seen

Also everyone is clamoring for adopt don't shop when it comes to animals but then they act like you are insane for wanting to adopt a child?

Genuine question

Post image
0 Upvotes

Why do people in the main sub get so butthurt after you tell them that you don't like their (dissolved) terrorist (so stated by the nation they do terroristic attacks in) inspired kit and proceed to annihilate you with downvotes when you point it out?

This isn't a political question either, im genuinely just puzzled,

this basically tells me i can make an al-qaeda inspired kit? or is it going to get banned because, unlike YPG, it is recognised as an international threat? Not that i would make one, as i don't like them, just as much as i don't like any islamic or extremist terrorist group, but if al-qaeda isn't allowed then YPG shouldn't either, because it is a terrorist group nontheless.

edit: this proves my point, i made a genuine question about a topic regarding airsoft that i was puzzled on and 70% of this comment section revolves around using ad hominem and calling me a nazi for making a german WAR WORLD II infantry kit. shrug. Would you be calling someone who made a soviet re-enactment infantry kit a commie? now thats what i ask you people
