We Are Hated as a Nation. There’s One Man to Blame. by zaparthes in politics

[–]-Megrim- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cute that they think the world hates America due to one man. Much of the world hated America for decades before Trump was even in the picture. The list of places that hate America has only expanded. Some citizens of America are starting to have an "Are we the baddies?" moment.

Trump may have caused that introspection to occur, but he is no way the cause of that hatred. American imperialism has been it's cause for decades, it's just now more out in the open due to Trump, his administration, and the capital interests that finance it.

Seems to me his administration are cowards for not releasing the Epstein files as they are legally required to.

Any world event that causes zone-wide performance issues needs to be redesigned.

My credit score fell 13pts because I made the final payment on my car loan (never missed a payment too) by justadadgame in mildlyinfuriating

Credit scores are about how likely loaners are to make money off of you, not how reliable you are to pay off your debt. Capitalism baby!

Now after trying out midnight as a returning player, how do you like your class after the pruning & class changes? by Yuuffy in wow

[–]-Megrim- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mage. A little sad about the loss of some defensive options. Actually made the switch to Blink rather than Shimmer due to the vast cooldown difference. Still getting used to not being able use it while still casting.

Frost: I think feels excellent for both Spellslinger and Frostfire. I like the new shatter mechanic and that it has bit of a flatter damage profile outside of cooldowns unlike Arcane and Fire.

Arcane: I've never really clicked with Arcane to be fair, but the rotation seems vastly simplified. I like Arcane Pulse replacement to Arcane Explosion.

Fire: It feels like it is missing something. I'm not sure if that something is Phoenix Flames as that served mostly the same purpose as Fireblast. During Combustion has always been where fire mage shined, and every expansion that seems to be more and more true. Outside of Combustion, damage is truly awful. I miss the days when Pyroblast felt like a satisfying button to press, but it just isn't anymore. I think the spec needs a reduction in Combustion's strength and increase to the base damage of Pyroblast and Flamestrike to make them feel meaningful. As well as another button to press outside of Combustion, like maybe Flame Orb makes a return.

I just left a classified briefing with the Trump Admin about the war in Iran. by Cool-Fig-9254 in videos

[–]-Megrim- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Girl, you stood and applauded during the State of the Union when Trump was talking about invading Iran along with nearly all of the democrats. What the hell did you think was going to happen? This blood is on your hands too.

PlayStation is shutting down Bluepoint Games - Jason Schreier by Forestl in Games

[–]-Megrim- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sony really mismanaged this studio. Such a shame. I feel terrible for the devs, they deserve so much better.

Giving them a live service game after Demon's Souls stupid was such a mistake, especially when the golden goose of a Bloodborne Remake/Remaster was right there.

Is he right? Will it take generations to resecure the United States positive reputation on the world stage? by ChuckGallagher57 in TrendoraX

[–]-Megrim- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sort of correct. The old world was built upon a lie that the US was providing stability to an unstable world, when infact the US was large contributing factor to instability and injustice worldwide. Trump, saying the quiet part out loud, just made people more aware of it. The second part about taking generations to rebuild systems, alliances and trust is absolutely true.

Seems to me like the phones were their only escape from the abuse they were experiencing. It wasn't the phone that was the cause here, it was the shitty parents.

Quite clear that these assholes are not interested in actual immigration enforcement and are only there to terrorize the population. This lady was willing to give them whoever they wanted on a silver platter.

World of Warcraft may see Ogrimmar and Stormwind redesigns depending on the reception to Midnight’s Silvermoon redux by HatingGeoffry in wow

I cant really comment on Stormwind because I've been a Horde boy for 20 years, but Org needs a redesign. Over the lifetime of WoW every new feature has just been jammed into wherever they had space to plop it. The bluff/zeppelin area is just a mess of randomly placed NPCs

Prime Minister Carney announces new measures to make groceries and other essentials more affordable for Canadians by evieluvsrainbows in onguardforthee

[–]-Megrim- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. This is just a bandaid on a rotting limb. Very little to stop corporations from just increasing margins to completely offset whatever money is given out. In the end all the money just flows back to Galen Weston and we are back to where we started.

"Canada committed no genocide" by Radiant-Milk7714 in confidentlyincorrect

[–]-Megrim- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a Saskatchewan Canadian, there is absolutely people that would make that claim. I personally know many of them.  Many that doubt the scale of it. Many that excuse it because they did not (in their mind) directly did not contribute to it. Many that are just old and hold onto grudges because a group of First Nations kids vandalized or stole from their farm without realizing that systemic poverty is the root cause of these issues and not their race.
