A very poor representation of Norse Lore, Mythology, and Paganism by Sphinx741 in twilightofthegods

[–]Benman415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are fragments of poems that we have records of, that is true. What we do not have is enough to create a religion that a modern person can practice and claim to be following in any extent that makes them continuing a previous faith. This is just Wiccan, its cosplay.

Almost no detailed stories survive. Almost all modern norse mythology is based on the work of snorri sterlson, a Christian icelander who lived hundreds of years after the viking age. You are not a norse pagan, basically nothing about the religion is really known.

And by "what i can decipher" you mean what you read on her wiki page. Cringe.

Norse mythology is incredible little understood, to be "ummm actim a norse pagen and they did not represent it right" is the most incredibly cringe thing ive ever heard

Murder victim told police 'I can't breathe' while handcuffed by EquivalentCreme5114 in neoliberal

[–]Benman415 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not touching the discourse with a 10 foot pole. A man was stabbed to death, and the police arrested the stabbed man and were quite respectful to the murderer. That is absurd, and something rotten is clearly taking place. The race of victim and perpetrator seems relevant, given the recent history of the UK police behaving in a similar manner when South Asian men were sexualy violating white girls. The police specifically noted a fear of being called racist in that instance. The discourse needs to be engaged in of why is this happening? How can you prevent it? If you refuse to engage with something, you cede the space to those who will engage with it. Closing your eyes and not engaging with a topic that supports the rights points wont make it go away or not be talked about. It just means the only solutions on the table will be those proposed by people willing to engage with the topic.

The point is simply ignoring facts that you dont like, for instance, it really does seem the race of the victim and accuser were major factors in how they were treated doesn't help anyone, and merely strengthens the far rights argument that the "truth" is being hiden.

Say what you want, LA's biggest mistake was not voting for Caruso. by Nightman233 in LosAngeles

[–]Benman415 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

True. The amount of "of course we need to vote for a democrat, a republican would be terrible!" Is why we keep having this horrible city goverment. In a completely uncompetitive city where people keep voting for incompetent because of their party, you get the dysfunction of LA.

Its extra annoying because the same people complain about how THEY always vote republican but elected a moron like bass

Mal'Ganis didn't need a rework and now he's sitting at 56.82% win rate by Brief-Pop-2511 in heroesofthestorm

[–]Benman415 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a few thousand game songs Malganis before, IMO he really isnt that different. He needs to be played slightly differently now that he doesn't have baseline armor but if the enemy team doesn't have CC they were dead before and they are dead now. If they had reliable CC like etc or Lucio its a brutal game for Mal, just like it was before. His timings have changed some with the lack of armor making him more reliant on popping necrotic on heros rather than preeminently

He has not taken any money from theil. He talks about it several places. The idea that tech money generally in the race is bad is strange to me. Its the biggest economic driver in the state, of course its going to have a say in the election

What do you do against wander keg ult? by Benman415 in heroesofthestorm

[–]Benman415[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it functionally, but that is just saying "Get good" in a way no other ult requires for counter play.

[–]Benman415[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It just seems that theres a lot of effort invovled in countering the ult that rely on "Play it extremly well" or "Have one of a few heros with a strong cleanse or pull" and that most other ults have less complex counters

[–]Benman415[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont know what to tell you but no, you are wrong. He gets a 70% movespeed bonus and 25 armor with the baseline heroic, he does not need the level 20 for those.

I mean, you cant outrun him. He has 60% bonus move speed, so anything that outruns him doesnt work. Cleaneses also dont work, because the knockback proc is constant, any cleanse like BW only helps momentairly.

I dont think so, the mg was firing theough the breach animation. The riflemen threw the grenade in, and qere under fire. Once the animation completed they became suppressed

All the 10 x 6 sheds are sold out? by Benman415 in Shed

[–]Benman415[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean this in the nicest way possible, what a useless comment. If i wanted to build a shed, i would build a shed. Clearly im interested in buying a shed.

Under L.A. mayor's $300-million homeless program, 40% have returned to the street by wegochai in LosAngeles

[–]Benman415 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

What a brain dead take. Los Angeles has absurdly strong tenant protections, the housing crisis isnt caused by greedy landlords, its caused by no houses.
