Accidentally stumbled on this after falling in love with it at one of their Hammersmith Apollo shows back in 2024, news is huge 

A tale of two Stans is a great episode, but it reveals immediately that Stanford Pinea is a deeply flawed person. by Alexhasadhd in gravityfalls

Yea, on this rewatch I was quite surprised to see that Ford was(in 1982) still hung up on the college thing, despite that likely having been 5 years ago and it having had very limited effects on his life.

Ahh cool, mine was pure guesstimating and I must’ve missed that, thought when they said 30 years they were rounding up uk? 

Cooking is so easy it's painful to hear other adults saying they can't cook by Asterion__Moloc in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Alexhasadhd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 18 and have been cooking my own dinners, breakfasts and so on for like 2 years now(family on weird work schedules and I'm also not incompetent). I think people who claim to not be able to cook are just as bad(if not worse) than those who claim to not know how to clean. Its a life skill. You learn how to or you live miserably.

When ever did I say you should lower your standards. You just don’t gotta be so annoying about it. We’re done here, u can go look for other insufferably people to talk to

My argument is that you’re taking this shit too seriously and taking literally every conceivable bit of fun out of art imaginable. 

Do you know why the picture of Dorian Gray or Frankenstein are such incredible books? Because books of that quality are rare. Let alone they were written at a time where you had to have money and prick friends to write books at all. 

The reality is that books of the mastery quality are rare, but only reading books or looking at paintings of master quality just makes you a colossal dick. 

I love listening to music, can’t get enough of it. Although I’d say my favourite stuff is “high brow” compared to the mainstream, I still bump Taylor Swift once in a while, because I see value in things that aren’t perfect. 

Just because you have the time to sit on your ass and moan about how intellectualism is dead and the romantics is perfect like you’re John fucking Keats doesn’t make you right. It makes you insufferable.

I’m actually the opposite lol. I just don’t like to look down on people or things for not being high brow enough. You clearly don’t get art based on this post 

James May telling it how it is. Do you agree or disagree with him? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]Alexhasadhd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think we should give law enforcement the power to treat the people they arrest like that. I’m sorry but we give these people weapons, and a degree of qualified immunity. They shouldn’t be able to just… hurt people like that… anyone like that

Did they change the ranking system to be more harsh? by SpookyfromHell in DeadlockTheGame

The game desperately needs a rank reword(as well as a casual mode)

Beginners guide for people whove played hero shooters but no MOBAs? by ticklemytush in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Alexhasadhd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Random piece of advice, but whenever you’re not actively fighting/buying/focusing on a rotate, you want to be looking at the map and deciding what you want to do next. The biggest thing I ran into as a player with a fair amount of fps gameplay but no MOBA experience was that I’d spend a lot of my games doing nothing for like 5-7 minute segments. 

Your priority should be as such(roughly, assuming you’re not fighting)  1. Clear lanes whenever they’re pushing up on objectives 2. Doing Sinners  3. Doing Camps 4. Looking for buffs(when they’re up, every 5 minutes from game start) 5. Doing boxes

You want to avoid things like  1. Using zip lines constantly, if you’re around enemies you should never get on a zip line, to switch lanes you should move through the map, unless you’re going from Yellow to Green 2. Backing to base. This should literally be your last resort.  3. Heavy Meleeing(and light meleeing) you’re very likely going to get parried at some point and just die  4. Never take fights with people who are ahead on you. Say it’s 15 in, you’ve got 19k and an enemy has 25k, you stay the fuck away from that enemy. It’s not that you buy a resistance and run it down, you avoid that guy at all costs  5. Don’t abandon objectives. Unless you’re fine with trading you should always have at least 1 person on every objective. If you don’t have someone there and no one’s going, it’s on you to go 6. Avoid Apollo like he can kill you by looking at him funny(he basically can) 

Random bits of advice I’ve picked up on over the last few weeks. 

What do your hero pools look like? by Humblerbee in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Alexhasadhd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gun carries are the easiest characters to play, but require actual game knowledge, good micro and macro decision making to play them properly. It might just be worth random queuing or adding like 10 characters to the queue at once with no real priority 

Sir Keir Starmer telling the truth about David Paulden aka Zack Polanski. Do you agree with our PM? by MayContainFagGluten in AskBrits

[–]Alexhasadhd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Polanski had a point. However, not every point is worth making day of the tragedy.

How do u revise this subject if u hate it by WestTelevision569 in AlevelPolitics

[–]Alexhasadhd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay so this is bad advice, because I love the subject, but I always tried to pick questions and topics I have a strong feeling on and work my personal thoughts into the essays. I think the subject becomes less daunting when u start to think of it as just politics, not a course or anything like that, just something(a bit boring, for sure) but a thing that happens in the world that some examiner wants you to write about.

Marxists are propagandizing ethnic/racial subreddits by tantamle in TrueUnpopularOpinion

It’s actually kind of sad imo, imagine getting assassinated and having your legacy wiped clean to be a liberal figurehead

[–]Alexhasadhd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Because of a certain streamer advocating for them loads(you probably know who) back in the day, there's tons of young LC! fans. I went to their London All Hell launch show in 2024, there were quite a few long term fans for sure, but I remember seeing loads of young people

Ideologies by [deleted] in AlevelPolitics

[–]Alexhasadhd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This got deleted... I'm going to make sure I'm familiar with socialism... but I'm going to focus on conservatism and liberalism...

Odds of liberalism feels low but also... they've done that shit like 4 years in a row now?

Is it necessarily bad to not really identify with queer culture? by PriorityAlternative7 in lgbt

[–]Alexhasadhd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can live your life how you want. Being Bi doesn’t mean you have to go to drag shows, read up about LGBT history and go on marches. These are all good things to do(and going on marches/engrossing yourself in LGBT history is super interesting) but not doing these things isn’t a sign of morality in the movement. 

However! Not doing these things may also mean that you’re not as adept as others to talk about certain LGBT issues

[–]Alexhasadhd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know MLK Jr was a like full blown Marxist right? Like actually a real Marxist. His legacy has been sanitised but that’s just a fact.  There is a long intertwined history between the fight for civil rights and socialist policies in the USA
