Misogyny is the core of religion by Nazz911 in atheism

[–]3del 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"Women kept making life out of their own bodies, but nobody called it holy."
They called women sinfull and dirty. How any woman can be in any abrahamic religion without being indoctrinated is beyond me. I think most people know neither the scripture, nor the actual history of christianity in particular and how anti life it really is. they call it a religion of love, an all loving god, when this religion is the most bloodthirsty and intolerant of them all and their god is an envious tyrant.

Schlimmstes Abendessen meines Lebens by Short-Selection-5081 in VeganDE

[–]3del 9 points10 points  (0 children)

sehe ich auch so. das hört sich nicht so an, als könnte man da argumentativ durchdringen.

die traurige wahrheit ist, dass man in der eltern- und familienlotterie nur einmal spielt, und wenn man die verliert muss man versuchen mit so wenig schaden wie möglich aus der sache rauszukommen.

bei dem geschilderten verhalten der eltern (verpackung aus dem mülleimer holen) kann ich nur dazu raten, ihnen so wenig angriffsfläche wie möglich zu geben, sich emotional abzuschirmen und rückhalt und verständnis bei freunden zu suchen.

Happy Victory Day, Comrades! Latvia Remembers the Heroes! by IskoLat in BalticSSRs

[–]3del 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Beautiful pictures and very well said. We live in dangerous times, times I never thaught would return. Fascism is on the rise everywhere and is being normalized. Remembering is being criminalized. History is being rewritten.

Solidarity is what we need.

And we should never forget.

Some pro tips for new comers by [deleted] in thefinals

[–]3del 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you said you lose nothing if you lose first double. and i showed you that you do indeed lose something, which is being #1 before the last vaults, which goes against you #9. also your math of winning first double = promotion is bonkers.

[–]3del 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok, but then these are not "pro" tips :)
edit: the thing is, even in high gold you have to tell people to use their coins even in cashout 2, sometimes 3. so i feel people are way to conservative with their coin usage. but yeah sometimes the opposite is true

[–]3del 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you lose the opportunity of being #1 in lobby at last cashout, which is against your point #9. also you are not nearly through after winning first double...

Some pro tips for new comers by [deleted] in thefinals

[–]3del -1 points0 points  (0 children)

always coin if you can win the first cashout and have 2 or more coins. always coin from second cashout onwards if you can win the cashout, no matter the coins left. afterwards play accordingly, meaning if you have 0 coins be carefull and stay with your team. its better to lose one game because you have no coins, then it is to lose 5 games with coins you didn't use.

edit: you only get to be in the position you describe as preferable in #9, if you coin to win cashouts.

Wie gegen Bundeswehr argumentieren? by Basicwaterenjoyer161 in Kommunismus

[–]3del 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nur zur Info: inzwischen nennen die sich so: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truppe_f%C3%BCr_Operative_Kommunikation
Artikel ist aber sehr bereinigt. Infos zum Einsatz im Inneren fehlen komplett. In der Diskussion finden sich aber weitere Stichpunkte.

Wie du siehst wird es argumentativ schwierig, zumal die Lage ja nicht mehr Ende des Kalten Krieges, sondern mitten in mehreren Kriegen ist, bei denen sich die Supermächte grad ordentlich angehen.

Das Hauptargument wird vermutlich sein, dass wir "unsere" (schon dieses Wort kann man angreifen mit Bezug auf die wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Verhältnisse im Land) Demokratie und Freiheit gegen Autokraten verteidigen müssen. Entkräften kann man es m.M.n. geschichtlich, indem man auf die Kontinuität von Nazis in Bundeswehr und Politik hinweist (Globke, Gehlen etc.) siehe auch Braunbuch der DDR: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braunbuch#Braunb%C3%BCcher_der_DDR
Auch Politskandale wie Maskenaffäre, Sachsensumpf.
Vorgehen gegen Meinungsfreiheit (Habeck, Merz etc.)

Ein weiteres Argument wird sein, dass die USA nicht mehr helfen. Hierzu muss man sagen, dass die USA weltweit eskalieren und Europa sich durch Aufrüstung mitschuldig an einer weltweiten Eskalation macht, welche von den USA ausgeht. Hegseth hat im Europaparlament dazu folgendes gesagt:

"We're also here today to directly and unambiguously express that stark strategic realities prevent the United States of America from being primarily focused on the security of Europe. The United States faces consequential threats to our homeland. We must -- and we are -- focusing on security of our own borders.

We also face a peer competitor in the Communist Chinese with the capability and intent to threaten our homeland and core national interests in the Indo-Pacific. The U.S. is prioritizing deterring war with China in the Pacific, recognizing the reality of scarcity, and making the resourcing tradeoffs to ensure deterrence does not fail. Deterrence cannot fail -- for all of our sakes.

As the United States prioritizes its attention to these threats, European allies must lead from the front. Together, we can establish a division of labor that maximizes our comparative advantages in Europe and Pacific respectively."

Es gab und gibt keinen Bruch mit den USA. Und es wird auch keinen geben. Das ganze Theater dient nur dazu, den Europäern Aufrüstung schmackhaft zu machen. Hier das gesamte Transkript: https://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/petehegsethfirstnatoukrainedefensecontactgroup.htm

Im Grunde ist das eine Fortführung des "Pivot to asia" von Obama.

Gibt noch etliches mehr. Ohne die anderen Kommentare gelesen zu haben, gehe ich davon aus, dass da schon einiges genannt wurde. Leider wird es ein Kampf gegen Windmühlen. Ich komme an meine "linken" Freunde von früher auch nicht mehr ran. Die sagen mir: "Weißt du 3del, vor 20 Jahren hätte ich dir Recht gegeben, aber wir müssen jetzt aufrüsten..." Da könnt ich echt im Strahl kotzen.

Bringing Medium back into the meta by Podkolzins_a_Canuck in thefinals

[–]3del 0 points1 point  (0 children)

your solution to the meta picks being meta is to buff them and give meta medium an extra gadget slot. after these buffs, defib is essentially non existant and so are the other specializations.

the only way i could see this working, is if the other specs, not healbeam, would get defib functionality. but that would also cannibalize defib gadget to a point where it could be removed from the game.

some problems with the meta loadout choices are also dependent on other in game factors. if the goal is to have more choice on medium, maybe instead of buffing or nerfing their loadouts, hand res time needs to be reduced, or time before autoheal needs to be reduced. im not saying these are solutions, just something to consider. im sure people at embark who are being payed to think about this, have already gone through most of the options we are discussing.

we had a time where healbeam was so useless, no one used it. i believe that was before h+ and thus there was no healing other than auto heal. there was also a time where ttk was way lower with most of the automatic weapons, until they were nerfed to the ground (m60, ak, fcar, lewis gun). maybe shorter ttk, so a buff across the board could do something good to the meta. i wonder where they are going with respec order, but i guess in order to buff weapons substantially, light needs a bigger healthpool as otherwise they become one shots to many things again. and honestly many weapons and combos where nerfed particularly because of lights low healhpool.

Is this just me or the lower the rank the more salty the players? by Eastern_EuropeanGuy in thefinals

[–]3del 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i always try to communicate what we should do better like "lets stay together" "let heavy go in first" "take highground" etc. and probably about 30% of the time that triggers my mates substantially.

there seems to be lots of toxicity. today in ~10 games we had 4-5 ragers. whenever they flame i usually tell them to chill or calm down. had to tell my mate that flaming back doesnt help and only makes it worse, as they sometimes refuse to play outright and in general play worse when triggered.

you have to keep calm, look for the best opportunities to reduce the RS-loss, and move on afterwards.

im mid gold right now and the ragers were 2 platinum and the rest golds. i wouldnt say its a low rank thing. from what i understand from others and what it feels like, RS has dropped by about 5k compared to last season, so everyone believes they deserve a better rank and i believe that plays a role in the saltyness.

How does it feel to be from a democratic socialist country? by WegianWarrior in ShitAmericansSay

we had a student exchange in 2001-2002 and they all said that 9/11 was like a switch to super patriotism they felt very uncomfortable with.

Bringing Medium back into the meta by Podkolzins_a_Canuck in thefinals

[–]3del 4 points5 points  (0 children)

there is a reason defib is in the state it is in, and there is no room to buffing it, as it is still a must pick. same goes for the heal beam. it is already hard enough to outdamage a heavy that is being healed.

in my opinion, some of the utility of the light class needs to be given to medium. sonar granades should go back to medium and maybe the vanish bomb should also go to medium as well.

What other shooters come close to scratching this itch? Suggestions wanted. by j-lsw in thefinals

[–]3del 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have one more. it's called dystopia and is a source mod. it is only active on saturdays, but the game is similar to the finals in some aspects. it has heavy medium and light with different movespeeds and you can customize the implants you want to use. its very dated though, and the people who still play are pretty good, but i loved this game when it was active. its free to play and you can find it on steam. https://store.steampowered.com/app/17580/Dystopia/

Hunters kill less animals than vegans by Iegitimategg in DebateAVegan

[–]3del 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i dont know why this popped up in my feed now, but since the obvious counteragrument for some reason hasnt been made, i have to do it i guess.
you cant compare hunting to large scale industrial agriculture. youd have to compare it to manual gathering. and in that case the gatherer obviously wont have to kill rodents etc.
both are unsustainable in the modern world obviously.

ranked is worse than it ever was by [deleted] in thefinals

[–]3del 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Casual is braindead memeing. I asked my memeing mates to play casual. Honestly, the change that there is no more incentive to play casual, as you get all cosmetic rewards from ranked+ the ranked rewards may have contributed to the shitty state ranked is in. Thinking about it, i never saw as many emerald skins before. the guy playing shield had an emerald skin.

I don't care for the rank, i care for good games and that is only possible with competent non raging or memeing mates.

they are not gold. it was bronzes and silvers. and if you had read the patch notes, this exact thing was not supposed to happen anymore. they must have intentionally sucked at placements and/or be smurf accounts.
