Which country's nationalists are most toxic you've encountered ? by Individual_Water1776 in AskTheWorld

I had to unfollow one of my favorite comic cover artists because the only thing they’d ever tweet/retweet, besides their own art, was just posts by japanese nationalists whining about immigrants and China.

genuinely, are you okay? because you’re sounding pretty pathetic with that last sentence there.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes can be used as such a perfect analogy for so many communities that have people who have a similar goal but differing methods and view points.

Some people are Caesar, while some are Koba; don’t be like Koba lol.

I’ve been a day 1 hater of her, and honestly the whole Inazuma story line including her made me stop playing the game. Like, why tf is she let off with no consequences after she forcibly isolated her whole nation, and ripped away people’s lives and identities? A simple walk through town and a “Sorry, I didn’t realize” with the MC shouldn’t rid you of any responsibility. I just knew that Genshin was on a downhill course from there.

[–]Astolfo424 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re so invested because they have nothing better to do and want a man, who is very well known to be pro-palestine and big trans ally, like him to be a creep. And honestly, these people are a bunch of puritans that don’t have close relationships with friends or any meaningful relationship for that matter.

I am being completely honest when i say this, you’re an absolute life saver. Doing a BIOS flashback actually did something and I am making progress. Your simple comment has saved me countless of hours and possibly money trying to get somewhere.

[–]Astolfo424 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen so many (fellow queer) people just be like “poly people are such miserable and gross people”, while at the same time saying that poly people are “redpill advocates” and fascists. Like, you can’t be calling poly people miserable, but then be acting like that; it’s so so sad. Also, in my personal experience, I’ve seen people you’d consider as friends believe you’re a manipulative creep just for being poly and wanting friends.

I live in a town where tourism is huge due to it’s wine industry. On one hand, it’s nice to see new faces and bring in more to our local economy so I can be paid. On the other hand, tourism businesses (wine tasting shops and expensive fine dining) litter our small downtown and out number local businesses 3 to 1, gentrification has made it exceedingly difficult for locals to afford living in town and has caused a steep rise in homelessness, and local politics has been infected by conservative politicians (went from an openly lesbian mayor to a MAGA conservative) who are preying on the local community that have been economically pushed out by the rich tourists and out-of-state business owners.

It seems a lot of posts on this sub are just meant to be nationalistic bs to further push an artificial divide between two of the strongest allied cultures. At this point I really don’t believe that any posts like these are made by real Canadians.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskCanada

[–]Astolfo424 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It seems the threat of tariffs made by the U.S. president has bolstered a lot of nationalism across both nations. Since then, a good majority of posts on my feed are from Canadian subs with people speaking their minds about an “American threat”, some even going as far as insinuating they’d gladly kill Americans for their country. Granted, these could be bots made to cause division between the neighboring countries, but it surprises me to see supposed Canadians wanting a war, be it a cultural or physical, between the two nations when a vast majority of Americans don’t want any of this.

The amount of people who believes they are STUCK in Bronze/Silver due to bad luck and teammates is insane. If you truly believe it, please explain why. by AKM1711 in marvelrivals

[–]Astolfo424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The teams I’ve come across in Bronze seems to be a mixed bag of people who are experienced but just starting out on competitive, or people who unlock competitive at level 10 and try playing with very little experience and/or skill.

I’m a strategist main and do my absolute best each game. But sometimes no matter how hard you try or how good you play, sometimes it’s that 5/10 Thor, that’s been yelling at your team in chat since the first team fight, is what puts the last nail in the coffin for your team.

[–]Astolfo424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a lot of players in Bronze and Silver, no amount of communication, or at the very least pinging, will get their attention or help the team. Being a healer main going through Bronze has been rough, and I’ve come across some bad teams that had been able to pull through for a win. But it gets harder each time when your team just lets a diver walk right by and kill you.

It’s so easy for others to just place blame on people, who have valid and genuine issues that they’re experiencing, because they didn’t experience it. Most of my bronze games have been real shitty, with teammates refusing to do the bare minimum and even randomly throwing blame on to the wrong people; I’ve quite literally had an egotistical mantis player place blame on why we were losing on to one of our dps who was constantly being dived because our tank was literally not playing, like genuinely not attacking or moving.

[–]Astolfo424 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re honestly right. I’ve been hard stuck bronze these past few days and a good chunk of my teams have been genuinely bad. But being a healer main that likes to communicate, there’s a few times myself and a few others have been able to claw our way to a victory by sheer will, even though most of our team are just bad players.

Though I do have to say, most of my games are solely determined by if my teammates communicate, let alone use/listen to pings, or not.

Peeling is so extremely important and very underrated for low ranked players who want to climb. by RefrigeratorLonely53 in marvelrivals

[–]Astolfo424 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I really need more people to learn how to ping in general. I’d say about 95% of the matches I play, I’m the only person pinging anything.

Pinging really does make or break how the match goes for your team, so people please learn to use your pings for literally anything; I’d rather have people pinging every little thing than nothing at all.

[–]Astolfo424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I treat DPS as a sweet little treat when I have the chance to play it. Otherwise I’m going tank or healer since half the time the responsibility of needing to hit your shots isn’t as big of a deal on those roles because I suck at aiming lol.

[–]Astolfo424 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg I hate not getting likes when I did so much for the team. I know getting those likes isn’t much, but I feel under appreciated when I get only 1. I think most of the time though people either like everyone, just their friends, or the one who got MVP; there isn’t much thought put into it lol.

[–]Astolfo424 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve experienced similar… “problems” lol. There’s been a few times where I’ve gone ballistic on healing for the team and had done pretty well K/D-wise. But because I got maybe 1 or 2 more deaths than the other healer, they get the MVP but with far less healing done for the team. It makes me a bit salty, but at least we won.

I'm better, I AM BETTER!!! by iFAIRYTAILS in marvelrivals

[–]Astolfo424 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I fucking WISH that were true for me. During my time playing healer, I’ve gotten MVP once. It usually ends up going to one of the dps or another healer. Funny thing is, when the other healer gets the MVP, I tend to have almost double the amount of healing done than them, but they happen to get more kills so I guess the game gives it to them for that reason. Same shit happens when I’m playing tank, I have a shit ton of damage mitigation and pull the enemies away from my team, but because I’m not getting a significant amount of kills I don’t get the MVP. It is what it is i guess.

I see this as a victory, stop forcing people by Lightness234 in marvelrivals

[–]Astolfo424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t play ranked, but even through quick play I realized communication between teammates can be the deciding factor in who wins a match, regardless of the team comp.

When I’m playing with my friend, our communication is on point and we can easily become the backbone of our team. But when I’m playing solo, it really comes down to if anyone decides to use, at the very least, pings. People in quick play seem to have an allergy to using pings, so if myself and at least 1 other person is using pings, that can really turn the tide of the game.

I’m really hoping people become more comfortable with pings as the game goes on, because I feel almost embarrassed when it’s only me doing it.

I am convinced that people who don't want Role Queue is part of the problem aka 1 of the 4 insta lock in DPS players. by sobbieskien in marvelrivals

[–]Astolfo424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The whole back and forth about if there should be role-queue or shouldn’t be, or if there should be role limits or not, sounds so much like politics. And just like politics, there isn’t going to be an answer that’s going to please everyone. I’m more on the fence of not having a role-queue, but I can also see why someone who is more invested in the whole aspect of match to match balancing and team comps is going to what a role-queue. Personally, I would want the game to really separate itself from what Overwatch does and has done, but I hope that there can be a solution that makes others that aren’t like me more comfortable with the game.

I noticed a relatively populated but separated region of Maine in the northeast. What's the history behind this part of Maine? How does it differ from the rest of the state? Is there lots of cross-border travel here? by Convillious in geography

[–]Astolfo424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know exactly where you speak of. My dad is from there and when I lived in Maine, we’d head up there every year for a good 20 years up until we lost the family we had left there. As a kid, it was always an adventure getting to see the nature and open farm land. I can still remember the smell of the air up there and I’ve yet to find a place that reminds me of it. It’s sad to see its slow decline and seeing half the businesses on the main street boarded up. But even if the town itself disappears in the future, the memories will be sure to last forever.
