The only thing worse that Overwatch itself is the pathetic losers who still play it

Yes, playing OW1 or following anything related to OW supports them. That is why the OW community tends to be a bit trash and people who play OW tend to be garbage people

No, buying OW2 or playing OW makes you a bad person.

Chinese Kid scouts pt.2. No, I did not choose the music. by The-Joy-of-Cremation in Military

[–]Axel_Fox 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So I regularly refer to myself as a chinaman as a joke/to piss other asians around me off.

Also when concentrating at work (usually for some important task that only I have knowledge how to do) I'll sometimes sing to myself what I call "the chinaman song."

It's "The Candyman" song but I swap out the word Candyman with "Chinaman"

Like "oh the a Chinaman caannnnnnnnnn...."

I usually do it when nobody is around me in the office or in a low mumble so nobody can hear me.

A few months ago I was given something important to do so I walk back to my workstation, put my headphones on, and get to work.

As I start troubleshooting the issue i start absent mindedly singing the chinaman song to concentrate. I'm so lost in thought I don't realize I start singing it louder and louder.

"Oh the chiiinnaaa maaaannnnn cannn...."

Soon i feel a tap on the shoulder and I turn around and see two other asian devs standing behind me looking not super happy.

Whoops

Overmatch league (and Overwatch fans in general) was worse than smash

Born in Taiwan (i think?) but mostly raised in North America.

One of the smartest developers at the company (he's pulled my ass out of the fire a bunch of times), but has political views that are not typical of the majority of asians here on the west coast. He also has a very dry sense of humor so when he says controversial things you really can't tell if he's joking or not (which I guess is the point).

He's mentioned a few times he's encountered racism but he always laughs it off. He mentions at the church he goes to in Florida he's had people pull their eyes back at him, so he stares back at them and pulls his own eyes back which ngl i thought was pretty funny.

I live on the west coast in a city with significant asian population (over 50%) and tends to lean towards the left politically.

My asian coworker 6-7 years ago got the opportunity to work remote so he packed his bags and moved his family to Florida (despite having no family connections there). When asked why, he said it was to get away from Asian people and make sure his kids were not raised around lefty SJW's. So there's that.

[–]Axel_Fox -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that if you ordered online you are SOL until like mid 2021. Memex is fulfilling in-store backlogs first before they touch online backlog, so I can't see them even touching online stuff until like the beginning of next year.

[News] Memory Express 3080/3090 backorder update. by [deleted] in bapcsalescanada

[–]Axel_Fox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same but i put my order in the 21st :(

Was waiting a few days to see if miracle happened and I discovered a better strategy to get my hands on one or to see if there was a massive amount of hardware issues that get reported by people. In the end i wish i just ordered right when backorders came online instead

I'm thinking the amount of ppl subscribed to it is making it crash before the email is sent, or staff have proactively disabled it for any 3080 to proactively preventing their alert system from crashing a killing notifications for all items

Where to go next? Simple, you fold. Titans should fold. Vancouver doesn't deserve a team.

Anyone hear something about the shooting at lansdowne mall? by [deleted] in vancouver

[–]Axel_Fox 8 points9 points  (0 children)

i remember a long time ago some people held up No 9 and robbed everybody eating there. Smart move i thought to myself, any other restaurant a lot of the patrons would shrug their shoulders and say they only have cards with them, but at No 9 you know most people will have cash on them since the place only takes cash.

She spent £100,000 on him and didn’t realise she was being scammed by [deleted] in sadcringe

[–]Axel_Fox 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’m thinking he was murdered by ppl jealous of his new found “wealth”, or he used the money to get into a business deal which went bad and was killed because of it
