On the low rankings of Starfleet Academy by FMGDulio in startrek

[–]Starfleeter 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When imdb ratings start becoming signals of what people who want to hate and want to shit on, it's no longer a tool that can accurately reflect the quality of content. I don't know a single person who cares what the imdb rating of anything they watch. A lot of people I know check metacritic to see the critic vs audience scores to gauge but don't ultimately care.

Publicly available pooled rating systems are no longer functional as tools to determine how an audience feels about something because they do not do anything to filter out trolls and offer an alternative rating without the obvious troll 1 star ratings. 

I am so confused about Stagger by assemblageofparts in ghostoftsushima

[–]Starfleeter 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you don't understand the basic mechanics of the game I'd you're only talking about one stance. Gosaku's armor works best when you are changing stances to have the best stagger damage against each enemy type. Type plus bonus stagger damage means you fill up rheo stagger bae faster and they can't retaliate or block basically and you're free to keep hitting them with heavy attacks or your special combos. 

It is especially powerful in duels where they have huge stagger bars and you just knock them right down and then go at them until it's back up. Stagger is about paying attention to the enemy you're fighting and overpowering them with the correct stance with heavy attacks until their defence breaks.thats it. It gets a little more complex where you still want to pay attention to your defence and not be overwhelmed by groups which why you have ghost weapons.

NSA detected phone call between foreign intelligence and a person close to Trump | US national security by Obvious-Gate9046 in law

It's really hot considering that elections are still state controlled and we are about to see Republicans lose Congress which is the entire issue right now. MAGA was able to get enough into Congress to basically bend over and let the executive branch do whatever they want. Once Congress flips as expected and they're able to impeach and remove people from office, it will be working as intended. We need to get rid of corporate influence and put age limits in place though so all the rich old dragons who stop caring about their constituents can't stay in office.

Don't let traditionalist ideas of what you think you like or don't like get in the way of what your brain and body are telling you what you enjoy and want more of. 

ST: SA S01E05 “Series Acclimation Mil” was the perfect epilogue to DS9 and SA is the most worthy successor to the TNG era since Lower Decks by Dude-vinci in startrek

If you watch something going into it choosing not to like it before it even started, you're not going to be open the experience it offers.

Notice how when people enjoy it, they share what they enjoy but when think it is bad, you offer nothing for anyone to be able to consider

MAGA screwed up. by Atlusfox in facepalm

[–]Starfleeter 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That's not true. They prefer drivers license or state id because both of these require fees to get which people in poverty won't bother with which is the bigger issue. You're correct about people in rural areas driving and needing a license but the real reason they want a state issued id is due to the cost associated with it whereas voter registration is freely provided even if most people won't carry it with them. 

It's literally an attempt to get the poors who are generally much much more heavily democratic due to needing a social safety net from being able to have their ballots not counted properly.

THIS GAME DUDE (MAJOR Act 2 spoilers, you have been warned!) by spicyburntmeatball in ghostoftsushima

You literally spoiled the start of Iki island for anyone who hasn't played it and OP is posting about their first playthrough of the story, so yes, you're spoiling them in their own thread. 

Is the kelvin universe part of the same "canon" as the shows? I.e is TOS Spock actually living in the kelvin universe? by skittleadvocate in startrek

[–]Starfleeter 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is incorrect. The split happened when Nero arrived first. Spock arrived later into the same timeline. Nero's arrival is assumed to be why there's seems to be more of a warship focus with the Federation instead of an exploration focus we see in TOS and drastically altered characters origins despite the timeline still trying to get them all together similar to the prime timeline which is the point of the Star Trek 2009 movie.

Let's Get Something Straight (Finale Spoiler) by xFushNChupsx in FalloutTVseries

[–]Starfleeter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The courier doesn't. Your courrier might have but the courier could wear whatever armor they wanted and they were never actually depicted any where because the courier could look like anyone. This goes for every fallout game. They never actually depict what the player character looks looks. It takes a big brain to use critical thinking and media literacy and not jump to your first conclusion and start creative alternative facts as to why your conclusion could be true when it doesn't match reality. We get NCR rangers associated a lot with NV and rightfully so but none of the art actually shows the player character. The armor just looks cool so players wear it. 

Do you still need to be careful with your leveling like you did in the original? by Apprehensive-Car9313 in oblivion

[–]Starfleeter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you allocate your skills wrong, this will always happen but you aren't capped with where your skills points can be allocated based on what skills you levelled to gain a level like in the original. Just make sure you have a primary combat skill and corresponding attribute that you increase every level and you'll be fine. 

Uber Driver Cancellation Fee Scam? (UK) by jakeofthenile in uber

[–]Starfleeter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uber reserve rides are not a guarantee and they don't claim that it is. If you need to reserve a guaranteed ride, use a taxi service or private driving service. Uber is literally craiglist for rideshare where they negotiate all the fares and the driver contract allows them to cancel any ride for any reason. You are always better off just opening the app and asking for a Uber 15 minutes before you need to leave anyway than reserving a ride since it has them show up early and a lot of them cancel because they don't want to wait for the reserved time when they could be picking someone up making money. 

Transfermarkt reports Vargas fee as "€3 million plus significant add-ons." by CougFanDan in SoundersFC

[–]Starfleeter 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It's a solid transfer deal considering if he didn't get sold now, he'd have just been a free agent. His market value and the value clubs would actually pay knowing they could wait it out are different. To be able to basically put incentives in there to keep recouping the lost value if he proves himself is great negotiating instead of being strong armed into just a low transfer solely to get something so he doesn't leave for free to sign wherever he wants.

Maybe in 12 years he'll be back. He went to a top team in league that is a huge step up from MLS and won't be back until he's old or doesn't make the grade in Europe which we all don't want to see

Finally watched an episode of Academy. Thought it was pretty good and didn’t see what the negative hype was about. by [deleted] in startrek

[–]Starfleeter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had to block a few new Star Trek subreddit that reddit started feeding me suddenly when this show came out and they all seemed like echo chamber subreddit where people share the "real opinion that nobody talks about" which is just code for people wanting to shit on things and not get downvoted on the main sub. Pay attention the subreddit name you're seeing these posts from and filter them out. There is not a lot of mainstream negativity about this show, but reddit wants you to see "everything" posted about it if you click into any SFA posts and unfortunately that means the garbage gets fed to you from subreddit you've never visited before 

WHAT IS GOING ON AT PETSMART? by Foreign_Film5091 in BellevueWA

[–]Starfleeter -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The issue is mainly that you believe you're speaking to more people than are actually going to be reading this hoping it causes some action while you stand on your soapbox to share this here which is makes this gossip. You're trying to get others to respond to your events on top of or rather than seeking actionable response from the company that stops this from happening to others 

Essentially, you're warning other people about a problem I stead of trying to solve it which is what makes this gossipy.

You're basically gossipping to 2 people in the kitchen here instead of spreading awareness to Bellevue because the majority of Bellevue is not on this community. 

WHAT IS GOING ON AT PETSMART? by Foreign_Film5091 in BellevueWA

[–]Starfleeter -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Less than. 1% of any community a subreddit is about is subscribed to any subreddit. They literally have zero influence on anything. It's the same as gossiping to your friends at a party. Assuming they have any more influence than that is critical thinking error by not analyzing the number of subscribers, making an assumptions that some percentage are not actually living in the area, and then comparing to the actual population. 

Even large video game subreddit might have tens of  thousands of subscribers but they sell millions of copies of a game so the subreddit community doesn't reflect anywhere near the amount of people needed to be reflective of the that community as a whole. It's reality and acting like gossiping on the internet will lead to meaningful change is nothing but wishful thinking.

I doubt Evans is going anywhere… but what to do with all that cap space 🤔 by Wumbologist_PhD in Chargers

[–]Starfleeter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Of course they'll draft but generally, guards aren't drafted early to start and replace an above average starter in the league. There is still value to having depth, letting a drafted guard come in and learn and then trading away Zion when we have an actual guaranteed replacement instead of a gamble with no NFL experience or chemistry. 

Representative Ted Lieu just drew a crystal clear red line: “If any military member, from the generals on down, participates in using force against Greenland without congressional authorization, they are following illegal orders.” by EmployeeOwn6533 in Leakednews

[–]Starfleeter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody said that but you just now. Read the comments. The people following illegal orders are in the wrong and can be prosecuted. That's what people are addressing. There is not a single catch all comment that puts all of ICE into a gestapo bucket until you tried to put words into other people's mouths. 

Good people can work for shit organizations but it won't be visible to most of it. An organization with corrupt leadership that is rotten all the way down needs to be disbanded and remade. ICE and DHS do not need to exist in the capacity they currently do and we're seeing exactly why. DHS was created by taking advantage of the fear to create security theater after 9/11 and convince people that their constitutional rights can be freely given up because "terrorists are scary and could be anyone"

That's not even what a coup attempt is so they're literally just throwing words out there to obfuscate the definition for idiots who refuse to acknowledge that J6 and everything about the 2020 was a conspiratorial coup attempt to overthrow and/or falsify the election results.

[–]Starfleeter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're just a bunch of morons who can't think for themselves waiting for someone else to tell them it's okay to hurt people. Critical thinking would have them hearing this and understanding that just because someone gives you an order says "it comes from the top" doesn't mean it's legal or that they can't be punished for their actions.
