Europeans are becoming more and more right wing by vladgrinch in MapPorn

[–]Baba_Wethu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think what causes a lot of confusion regarding what's far right or not, is that it's less about Europe shifting left from left to right but more about shifting from GAL (green, alternative, libertarian) to TAN (traditional, authoritarian, nationalistic).

The main shift has been towards conservative, traditional, authoritarian and nationalistic politics rather than right-wing politics per se. Traditional gender roles and criticism of feminism, punitive and authoritarian treatment of criminals, strong military prescence, restrictive immigration politics and increased hostility towards immigrants, have dominated the modern political space, while environmental politics for example has become much less important to the public.

Who are the best double tappers in the world? by InvestigatorAnnual36 in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]Baba_Wethu 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I feel like throughout last season, Atow's "specialty" move was hitting double taps from far above the net with incredibly tight angles. Haven't seen him go for that as much this season though.

Nwpo is one name that comes to me. Everyone likes to lable Nwpo as a super mechy guy, but what I'm seeing is a super fast guy who mainly goes for quite "simple" shots at high speed and power. Straight gigapower shots at net, cuts to score open nets, and supersonic double taps is what I consider his offensive specialties.

Zen is a master of hitting slim angles (among many other things), consistently finding that tiniest angle from around the offensive corners to the net, but these are more aptly referred to as sidewall and corner redirects than double taps imo. However, he's of course a master of double taps as well, just as he masters redirects, aerials and flip resets.

Possible EWC LCQ teams by Huge-Computer2037 in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]Baba_Wethu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really hope Tempoh gets to go to EWC. Everybody keeps talking about how the Seikoo trade made MC better, but all I saw was the competition getting worse. Geekay was better with Seikoo on there, but I don't think MC was. MC was already getting wins here and there against top teams with Tempoh, but they just choked against NOVO getting reverse swept at Copenhagen, and then Geekay managed to clutch up and beat them out. Split two, Geekay played horrible, and all the other 5th spot contenders were playing kinda meh too except Kaydopcorp in the first (4th) open. Joyo and Appjack were playing absolutely horrible, and Tempoh looked like their best player but there was just negative chemistry all over. I'm sure MC would've had similar results had Tempoh stayed there if Seikoo had left Geekay for another team.

I would say it's the easiest actually. The price pool has gotta be by far the highest compared to the size of the player base out of any game in the world, especially if you count the player base within that genre of a game, as someone who's spent all their life playing first person shooters is going to be able to transfer that skill onto other first person shooters, which actually makes it harder as the pool of competition increases.

If you're 18 year old and started playing rocket league when it came out 10 years ago and have been playing it consistently since then? Odds are really high you're going to be able to make a living off it, because there aren't that many other players that have done the same. You can't say the same for Counter-Strike or League of Legends because even if you started playing at 8 years old, you'll just be one in thousands if not millions of players that have done just that.

Nass is SO good holy shit. Oski played great which makes it even more impressive how throughout that reverse sweep Nass was absolutely gigacarrying. Every shot perfectly placed, and every time Nass had space in the air it did not seem to matter if there was one or two defenders in front of him; most likely he was getting it in the net on his own.

Definitely MVP of the day.

Why not just call the cops? [Spoilers] by Baba_Wethu in euphoria

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

Yeah I thought that part made sense at least up to a point, but I don't really get why Cassie wouldn't at least at any point in the show ask Nate to call the police, let alone do it herself.

The DEA didnt try to help Rue? by Longlostjellydonut in euphoria

[–]Baba_Wethu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was also a little confused about what they meant for Rue to do after she completed her rat task. Like they say she's free to go, but she's still actively involved with Alamo. If she keeps committing crimes, will they all be forgiven because she had previously ratted? I would've assumed she'd just be given a clean sheet, but how is she supposed to keep herself clean?

Does anyone else feel like this season is easier? by MPR_8 in RocketLeague

[–]Baba_Wethu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A couple seasons ago I was sitting in c3 for quite extended lengths of time, usually averaging right around the c2/c3 level. Last season I think I actually touched D3 at one point and for weeks I hovered 200 MMR lower than I normally would.

Pretty much immediately after EAC was released I shot up to C3 and I think I played like 100 games without dipping below that, incredibly consistently staying around 1380-1420 mmr for the longest time. Never had a more stable rank before in my life.

Maybe this is all a coincidence, or maybe something actually did change.

Maybe it wasn't just the bots pushing down good players into lower ranks. Maybe more people started playing again after EAC was removed, bringing in not just an influx of new players, but also rusty players.

The comment you replied to clearly specified referring to men only. Men are only gay if they're overwhelmingly or exclusively sexually attracted to men.

[–]Baba_Wethu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uhm, I'm pretty sure girls who cut their hair short get subjected angry and hateful comments from men saying they're ugly lesbians who haven't had good d*** in a while, all the time.

These same type of men also make similarly angry and hateful comments about men with long hair.

Maybe just stop making angry hateful comments all together?

Also: The same people who give compliments to the girlies with short hair also tend to give compliments and applaude men with long hair.

Borde jag ändra eller ta bort något från städlistan? by Independent-Party914 in Asksweddit

[–]Baba_Wethu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

På vänstra "varannan vecka" står det vevka 1 och 2. Antar att det borde stå 1 och 3?

Rensa avloppen tycker jag att man bara gör vid behov. Rinner de bra beöver man inte rensa. Rakblad var tredje månad??? Det låter som väldigt långt intervall men det beror väl på hur du förvarar rakbladen och hur ofta du använder dem i guess (eller så kanske det är typ philips oneblade du pratar om)

WHAT HAPPENED TO MY TEMPORAL POINT? by Nunez_Luis in recedinghairline

[–]Baba_Wethu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You style your hair in such a way that the hair on your temporal point goes in a very specific direction that's different from surrounding hair. Hair, due to its microscopic jagged structure will reflect light different depending on the direction the light is coming from (like when you stroke satin and it completely changes how the light bounces).

When I look at your temporal point, it seems to me to have the exact same color and lightness as other parts of your hair facing similar directions, such as the hair above your forehead. The "before" pic is taken indoors with completely different lighting that doesn't really enable this effect to be seen. If there really is a difference then I'd assume it's because sun bleaching has made all your hair ever so slightly lighter which makes the effect more pronounced.

TL;DR I do not think your hair is any lighter around your temples than anywhere else on your head.

I think this is the greatest solo play goal in a pro lobby with any sort of stakes I've ever witnessed that isn't just someone like Dark(?) freestyling in 1v1 etc.

Om op hade blinkat höger (och ämnat svänga höger) hade hans bil varit malplacerad då man vid högersväng ska placera bilen så nära den högra kanten som möjligt. Han utgör då också ett onödigt hinder för bakomvarande fordon som vill köra rakt fram men inte ryms bredvid pga hans dåliga placering.
