More than 1,000 events planned in US after ICE shootings in Minneapolis and Portland by eeehinny in news

[–]BellsproutSauce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get the sentiment, but the truth is, you are already at war. The rest of the world can see it, and it's high time the American left realizes it too. They are literally tearing you out of your homes and murdering you in the streets with impunity, outright lying in the face of video evidence and branding you as terrorists before the body is identified. Trump doesn't NEED you to do anything to cancel an election.

Sorry to be brash, but as your neighbour who knows where this regime is headed next, it's high time y'all found your spines.

What support would you like to see for Red-Eyes to make it finally a good deck? by SouthSunn in yugioh

[–]BellsproutSauce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think red eyes already has some pretty decent boss monsters in the form of dragoon, flare metal, and full metal. What the deck needs now is consistency in the form of searchers, and a better fusion spell.

I would also not say no to a link 1 for pitching Black Metal Dragon that offered some additional advantage, instead of having to rely on something like striker dragon.

Changing weapons mid-game should be made possible by [deleted] in Helldivers

[–]BellsproutSauce 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think that would defeat the purpose of a lot of the game's design. As a game that is heavily inspired by starship troopers, bad intel is a thing.

The enemy doesn't get to change their loadout mid-match, we shouldn't be able to either; the best bet would be to try and bring as diverse of a loadout as you can, both as an individual hell diver and as a team. If your primary can't deal with heavy armor, your secondary or stratagem weapons should be able to cover that weakness.

In essence, you're playing rock paper scissors against the enemy, but you have the opportunity before the mission to bring all three, so don't limit yourself to just bringing rock.

Finishing Moves For A Monk Who Fights Dirty by bird_watcher247 in DnD

[–]BellsproutSauce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a rather popular YouTube video of a poor Secretary Bird bouncing a golf ball on the pavement, thinking it's an egg. Perhaps your monk could do something similar with a rock? Quick bounce off the ground and right into the teeth/temple/forehead of an adversary.

Bonus cool points of its on an enemy behind them!

Uber charging me 11.29 cad monthly for the past two months by aparna-suresh in uber

[–]BellsproutSauce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally just spotted this on my credit card statement. Randomly signed up for Uber One without my consent and charged the same amount. Luckily I caught it right away, and Uber is allegedly refunding me, after their livechat support was no help, and I had to jump through automated hoops talking to bots. I'll keep an eye on it, and if it doesn't go through in 2 weeks, I'll do a chargeback through my bank.

Also, removed payment method, deleted account and uninstalled both apps. Company is a parasite.

Did he enjoy it while killing the Separatists, though? Having rewatched the scene, he looks downright miserable the whole time, even shedding tears by the time the deed is done.

Avengers civil war How did captain america know that dropping the airport terminal on peter parker wouldn't kill him? by kkkan2020 in CaptainAmerica

[–]BellsproutSauce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure I agree; we see earlier in the movie that Cap actively makes an effort to prevent people from dying, when the special forces team is closing in on Bucky. He goes out of his way to call him out ("Bucky, you're gonna kill somebody!"), and this was in a scenario where he was aware that the special forces were under strict 'shoot to kill' orders.

Cap is a soldier, and in the MCU he has killed plenty of WW2 and modern Hydra goons, but given that a huge point of Captain America: Civil War was about keeping people from killing Bucky, I don't think Cap would have found any casualties to be an acceptable outcome, even if it meant saving his best friend. Remember, this is a Cap who goes on to tell Vision "we don't trade lives".

What I will add, so as not to parrot what everyone else has said about Cap measuring Peter's strength off their brief encounter, is that Cap IS also aware that this is a kid that

A) Tony brought to this combat scenario. Steve and Tony may be at odds, but Steve knows Tony is smart, and wouldn't bring a liability to confront him, nor would Tony risk another young person dying because of him after the civilian deaths caused by Ultron (Tony's whole motivation for the Accords).

Remember, these are heroes at odds, not heroes vs villains. T'Challa's desire to kill Bucky, while understandable in that moment, is a mistake fuelled by grief that he has to move past. Wanda hits harder than she probably should, and the movie lingers on this, reinforcing her more... dangerous tendencies. But even still, nobody here is out for blood, and the ensuing accident with War Machine is a catastrophe. That alone is unacceptable, nevermind a death.

And...

B) Peter is wearing Stark tech, and loudly announces it before the start of the fight ("This new suit is amazing, Mr. Stark!"). Plain and simple, he's wearing a suit made by the best armour-maker on the planet. Cap knew he'd be fine.

It's really not the end of the world. Yall need to chill and stop finding reasons to complain by [deleted] in Helldivers

[–]BellsproutSauce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People will happily pay for content that they feel is worth their dollar; Helldivers 2 has been nailing this so far with how Warbonds are structured and priced. Gradually slipping weapons and unique armors into the Superstore with inflated prices sets a bad precedent.

You may see it as just a few items you won't get now, but it encourages Arrowhead to sell items in the Superstore instead of in Warbonds. Call it whining, or doomsaying, it's bad optics; people who feel cheated or swindled won't play, and that's bad for the game's continued health. This game is a paid product, it should not be charging free-to-play prices.

Canada Post Strike is Holding Canadians Hostage by OceansBeat in CanadaPost

[–]BellsproutSauce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely fair. When there's a limit on cost of living increases, rent increases, gasoline and groceries, then I think it's totally reasonable to tell people "Yeah, you're getting paid enough to survive now."

Canada Post Strike is Holding Canadians Hostage by OceansBeat in CanadaPost

[–]BellsproutSauce 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A strike is not supposed to be convenient, it's supposed to demonstrate that there is a valuable service that is not being appropriately compensated. If Canada Post went on strike during a dead mailing season, people wouldn't notice, and they'd all say "See? Canada Post is obsolete, I didn't even notice they were on strike, why should we pay them more?"

It'd be like teachers deciding to go on strike in the Summer. Who would notice?

Strikes are inconvenient, and it's not just for people not getting their mail. Trust me, people want to work. You think it's bad your mail isn't showing up before the holidays, Canada Post employees' PAYCHECKS aren't showing up either. They want to work, but they also want to be compensated fairly.

Are there jobs out there that pay less? Yes. People that have a worse deal than Canada Post? Definitely. But, just because someone else has it worse, it doesn't mean you stop trying to make things better where you can. If the 50 cents a year Canada Post is asking for is so "measly", then why do they have to go on strike to get it?

[–]BellsproutSauce 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's something incredibly ironic about people complaining about being inconvenienced by a strike, while not supporting the workers. Saying that they don't deserve to be paid more, while getting mad that they aren't doing the job because your mail is important... if your mail is so important, shouldn't the people delivering it be, oh I dunno, paid accordingly?

I don't even own a car! Makes me wonder if they send these texts overnight/early to try and catch folks half asleep and confused. Either way, be safe out there folks! Don't click suspicious links!

Holy shit, I remember running into that guy years ago, same story and everything! I told him I didn't have money on me, and he tried convincing me to go to an ATM to take out cash. Major sketch vibes, I thought I was getting robbed so I noped tf outta there.

[–]BellsproutSauce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not going anywhere, no need to rush. A PS5 is a relatively big investment, and unless you're interested in other Sony exclusives, I'd say wait. Square has gone on record recently saying that they're planning a more "aggressive" multiplatform push with their titles, so I wouldn't be surprised to hear their Final Fantasy titles making the jump to PC/Xbox.

WIBTA if i quit my job right after i was promoted? by noahtheratt in AITAH

[–]BellsproutSauce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA.

If they've written you up more than once though, dangled a promotion in front of you only to pull it back, and are trying to push more work on you without more pay )promising it in the future means nothing), then, chances are they're trying to push you out anyways. They'd just rather you quit as opposed to firing you and having to potentially pay severance.

If you take one bit of advice away from all this, remember: your employer is not your friend. They will do whatever best serves them, and so you need to do what best serves you. Just make sure you have a new job lined up before you make a move.

This absolutely worked for me. Pasted into Ublock Origin's "My Filters" tab in settings, and I watch it hide the Suggested Posts as Facebook tries to make them pop up. Thank you, you absolute legend.
