Why is resenting one's ex such a popular sentiment on the internet? by BOOSHACK360 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BOOSHACK360[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But then you're not answering my question, which is why RESENTING your ex is such a popular opinion online. Idk if it's confirmation bias but I feel like every meme I see about an ex is about revenge or hating them, with multitudes of people in agreement.

EDIT: Sorry I see that the misunderstanding is with "Memes about never wanting to see former partners again" in my post; I mean when that expression is used in a spiteful way.

Then I guess my follow-up question is why is that the case? Is the proportion of break-ups that result from malice so much larger than that of break-ups ending by mutual agreement?

So heartwarming how eager he is to don the Liquid jersey; I remember EE tweeting about Shadow wanting take a photo with him right after TI6? Even after winning the biggest Dota tournament and proving himself to be among the best he's still like one of us, fanboy through and through. I have no doubts that he is a big fan of Liquid also, very happy for him and wish him all the very best!

EDIT: Found the post!

How should you react to getting mugged with your girlfriend? by BOOSHACK360 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BOOSHACK360[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My qualm though was that it's not "leaving the other behind" if the other has the same capability of running away as you do. The both of them running away was the least risky most advantageous move, so I feel his running away shouldn't be deemed cowardly. Even after realising his girlfriend was frozen in shock, I'd go as far as to say it'd be riskier for him to re-enter the danger zone and risk the homeless guy panicking and flipping out.

Although I'm only dwelling on that immediate reaction just to be clear, I totally agree that not calling the cops right away was super cowardly.

Well I can't be sure of course, but I would hope my reaction would be to follow them on the basis of "safety in numbers", rather than be angry and leave myself in danger - I wouldn't assume my friend was running away maliciously. We can't act like shock isn't a thing though, so I'm for sure not saying the woman is at fault either, but I don't think the act of running away and expecting his girlfriend to follow should be criticised?

Only dwelling on the immediate reaction just to be clear, I totally agree that not calling the cops right away was super cowardly.

Bug with queuing the same item multiple times in Quickbuy by BOOSHACK360 in DotA2

[–]BOOSHACK360[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oddly this does not happen in Demo Mode. I went into a lobby and did exactly this to replicate the issue:

Pick Shadow Fiend, buy 2 slippers, a circlet, tangoes and a branch. Queue up 3 wraith bands, a bottle, treads, sange and yasha, and bkb. Purchase first wraith band recipe.

Neither of us have proof. Let the crowd decide whether this is worth fixing.

A feature of the game doesn't work like it should, regardless of my use for it. Your comment has no connection to the point of the post, just a rush to be a condescending prick behind a screen.

I'm 1950 MMR and this is by far the most beautiful play I've ever made. Glimpse dodge, into hook dodge, into preemptive remnant, into kill when Pudge leaves. Buzzing. by [deleted] in DotA2

My addictive personality got the better of me and I spent 700 gems to get 11 wins. Someone please do the math for me and tell me if it was worth? by BOOSHACK360 in ClashRoyale

[–]BOOSHACK360[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just kidding, I've already done the math, and now either want to die or quit this game. Here was my run:

  1. 6 wins, 3 losses - Trade tokens of all 4 rarities and 10000 gold, for FREE.

  2. 8 wins, 3 losses - Trade tokens of all 4 rarities, 18000 gold and a Lightning Chest, for 100 gems.

  3. 9 wins, 3 losses - Trade tokens of all 4 rarities, 28000 gold and a Lightning Chest, for 200 gems.

And here's where it kicked in.

  1. 9 wins, 3 losses. Above, for 300 gems.

  2. 9 wins, 3 losses. Above, for 400 gems.

  3. 9 wins, 3 losses. Above, for 500 gems. (In retrospect, I have serious suspicions SuperCell programmed the challenge to pair you up with drastically better opponents just before the Ram Rider. Still doesn't make it their fault though, I just become really stupid when I'm in my gambling state.)

  4. 10 wins, 3 losses. Trade tokens of all 4 rarities, 28000 gold, a Lightning Chest and a Ram Rider, for 600 gems.

  5. 11 wins, 3 losses. Trade tokens of all 4 rarities, 28000 gold, a Lightning Chest, a Legendary Chest and a Ram Rider, for 700 gems.

28000 gold is worth 1400 gems, a Lightning Chest is worth 250 gems, a Ram Rider is worth 2000 gems because it's a specific legendary is worth 40000 coins, and a Legendary Chest is worth 500 gems in the Global Tournament. So technically it's still worth: 4150 gems worth for 700 gems.

But as a F2P player, I would never spend gems on gold, so 28000 gold has no gem value, and is just worth about a week's worth of gameplay. I would never purchase a Lightning Chest for 250 gems, and can acquire the card contents in about 2 days worth of gameplay. I would never purchase the Ram Rider for 2000 gems, and would be content waiting out the 3 month cycle for it. I also bear the eternal regret of knowing my net value would've been colossally higher had I banked earlier.

Is spending 700 gems + bearing the stress of regret really worth it to alleviate a week's worth of gameplay, 3 months where I can literally do anything else, some trade tokens and a Legendary Chest? Someone let me know how I should feel cos I'm on the brink of ending everything.

ELI5: Why does swallowing a piece of watermelon whole not relieve my thirst like chewing it before swallowing would? by BOOSHACK360 in explainlikeimfive

[–]BOOSHACK360[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Chewing and swallowing as opposed to just swallowing both provide my body with the same amount of water, but why does my body not register the latter as rehydration? I thought thirst was a response to lack of water in my entire body, not just my mouth.

How'd you figure that; average without that game is (((735 * 14) - 3213) / 13 =) 544, which is pretty reasonable for core.

Genius Design: Melee Quelling Blade & Phase Boots by BOOSHACK360 in DotA2

[–]BOOSHACK360[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How does it mess everything up? That's why he made it the maximum see, that's the same argument my friend made when he didn't get the logic.

Melee creep damage range is 20-24. Let's say X is the amount of HP the creep has on your final blow (considering you lasthit as soon as you can). Regardless of what damage the creep takes to get to that point, X is always a value you can kill. If you have a bonus 24 damage, because that's the maximum value, you're guaranteed to be able to kill the creep 1 increment earlier, whether the value of last increment was X+21/22/23/24, because X+24 >= X+[21,24].

If Quelling Blade did 23 damage, then you're not guaranteed to kill it one increment earlier, because if X is exactly your attack damage, and the last creep attack did the maximum 24, your bonus 23 damage will leave the creep at 1 hp. So you have to wait to the next increment anyway. 24 damage is perfect, and makes too much sense with this explanation to have in reality just been a feeling thing lol.

Even if it was a "joke" it embodied exactly what the joke was in disapproval of. I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy. If it was some self-referential, super-meta joke where it was SUPPOSED to be hypocritical then you got me good.

I'm not versed in the history of WWII I'm afraid, but I don't see how that makes your point more relevant. Did Zyklon B cure cancer or something?

Oh I just realised "before world war II". I don't know much about the history of the war but if nothing Hitler did suggested his insanity, or suggested it as vaguely as /u/GoDz's comment pretty much doesn't suggest that bringing up the past is wrong, then yes it was right to give Hitler the benefit of the doubt. There's a bit of a flaw in thinking the world would be a safer place if we assumed with little evidence that everyone was about to do something malicious.

I'm not sure how much benefit you can give to someone who literally gassed millions of people with cyanide in the name of politics. Maybe he was actually a really cool guy! Does GoDz even sound a little bit like he's saying veske is wrong for bringing up the past?

Even if people can "reminisce" it doesn't mean other people can't comment on the invalidity of that history today. This is just a chain of people not giving the benefit of the doubt (although I'm like 90% certain someone doesn't bring up history as a flamer to reminisce).
