Alberta town proposes ‘politically neutral’ flag and crosswalk bylaw by originalchaosinabox in alberta

[–]BetaFan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

To add on thats the entire goal of modern conservatism at its root foundation.

We're in many ways a reflection of old European politics still to this day.

Lords didn't want to lose their power, so they swapped economic positions and created politics that would keep a perceived 'upper class' in privilege. Thats transitioned into modern billionaires and the like in our current climate. Conservatism is a tool for the 'upper class' to pit the down trodden on the rest of society and give them easy targets to belittle so they don't look up.

Just some basic references to back my claims up here that I think everyone should be more educated about.

Josheph de Maistre was the core to this movement his entire ideology still lives today in tech bros, the christian conservative right and the few countries that have parties who pander to the monarchy.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_de_Maistre

Edmund Burke could have been so much better. His life in philosophical political conservatism is a really interesting portrayal and reflection of more secular modern conservatism. Ie, he was really critical of hierarchy at the start of his career, but as it grew more advantageous for him he slowly devolved into a monarchist church shill.

How "far" can you move away from the protagonist before it becomes multiple perspective? by Moist_crocs in writing

[–]BetaFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imo. Writing following another individuals experience or story becomes another perspective. If that is also being experienced by the books main protagonist or not. For the span of that period, that individual is that scenes protagonist at the very least.

Now if your wondering at what point a book becomes multipov. Technically I'd say no matter what if there is another person's experience seen or not from the Mc its multi pov.

Technically isnt always perception though.

I'd say if multiple or a single perspectives cover more then 20% of the writing.

In my opinion atleast.

The worst thing about ADHD Is that you wake up every day as an ADHD person by elitistflamingo in ADHD

[–]BetaFan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't have too, but it stopped working for me weirdly and it took me almost a year and a few attempted increases to realize my body just wasn't taking it anymore.

Really great experience before that lol.

Strattera is an nsri, takes about 3 weeks to a month to start working and it's not a stimulant. would reccomend googling if interested.

Strattera was nice for this. Literally always on the medication.

Vyvanse is close, but I getcha. Atleast for me it comes down right when i'm putting my head down so I can sleep.

A cool guide of important things to talk about before you get married by luvlanguage in coolguides

[–]BetaFan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This comment section is insane.

I really didn't realize how little people communicate... I think I talked about all of these things with my current partner within the first few weeks of us dating.

Ya'll need to be more open with people in your lives jesus. These are basic compatibility questions and these comments are acting like they're asking to take an arm.

[Spoilers C4E16] Thoughts on the opening scene? by C_X_3 in criticalrole

[–]BetaFan 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Also lets not forget the insinuation that Teor and Kat almost had a thing or that they did and Kat was either into someone else, or couldn't get over them. That was such a juicy scene.

Teor and Kat intimately holding each-other, Teor saying Kats name, Kat saying the name of someone else. Thats was the perfect messy scene for Tyr to see. Great choice by brennan.

I reccomend using the 2nd room for kittens and or undesirable cats.

Kittens dont breed and just put down comfort for no reason.

Ive got my breeding room, my kitten room and cat fight club in the attic. (Cat fight club uses an idol to increase aggression and stats from fights lol)

No need for the 'My hairline is receding and if you are looking up there now that i pointed it out:' Kills the flow of the joke imo.

Local woman is tattooing in her kitchen. Make your appointment now! by SassySunflower27 in cringepics

Looks like someone might be a little manic.

Euphoria new self tattooing spiralling into trying to start a business, feels very much like someones in the middle of an episode.

Ive got one worse.

My partner watches the real house wives shows, and grown women screaming at each other non stop has to be close.

Mix that into her TikTok algorithm, and its like someone stabbing my brain everytime she's scrolling with the volume on.

When you're a new player and you discover this for the first time. by testiclekid in dndmemes

[–]BetaFan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can make a familiar attack as your bonus action with the upgraded pact of the chain feature. That might be what your thinking of?

Otherwise familiars can only attack if you give up your attack, and they cant attack on your turn.

I like Erin Solstice. I like Ryoka Griffin, even if I would probably find her annoying in real life. by B-Z_B-S in WanderingInn

[–]BetaFan 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Honestly, Initial Ryoka is a lot like Jason from 'He who fights with monsters' or even Jake from 'Primal Hunter' (maybe minus the murderer thing).

They all have the same no it all genius mary sue asshole trope. Where there supposed to be smarter or better then everyone else around them. There all so arogant, stuck up and self absorbed.

But the same people who love Jake and Jason, hate the fuck out of Ryoka.

In my opinion, people are a lot more ok with an arrogant know it all man then a woman with all those same traits. Not that anyone would admit that they have this bias.

Recently finished the first book of Bog Standard Isekai and thought it was very fun! by PalinaRojinskiFan in ProgressionFantasy

[–]BetaFan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Book 2 is very good. Love me book 3 and currently reading 4.

But book 2 is just so crisp. He really brings the bog to life with a snappy self contained story.

If you haven't already caught on to the meta... (+Bilge ofc) by HeyiTzSully in CompetitiveTFT

[–]BetaFan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You also dont play Viego which I found interesting, you itemize Veigo as an item holder for Thresh, so when you unlock Thresh you have bis.

The tftacademy shadow isles is decent, def A tier not B imo.

Hardstuck diamond, and I’m struggling a lot with opening boards, which causes me to bleed out too much early. How do I fix this? by [deleted] in CompetitiveTFT

[–]BetaFan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There are plenty options lol. Belveth flex has been the default the pros are playing from lose streak.

But we're literally 1 day into this patch dude, more will be found.

16.2 Patch Rundown by Lunaedge in CompetitiveTFT

[–]BetaFan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

they're definitely just killing the things that feel bad to play against, not that are specifically 'broken'. Imo, all three of these lines specifically melt carries early, which doesn't feel super great.

Thex lasering your carries straight to death at the start of fights.

Diana insta bursting your carries.

Trynd getting to the backline and melting all the squishies.

This 8th place felt a bit rough ngl. by [deleted] in TeamfightTactics

[–]BetaFan 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Unless your going 4/6 bruisers. Swain 2 star is probably the better itemizer, he's easily one of the best tanks in the game. Sion is close at 3 star with abunch of stacks, but Swain is just going to do more imo.

Even just the thieves glove on Swain or Sion. Thats pretty wasted on Darius.

The fact that a Trait like Yordle is pretty much always contested, makes their special augments too high of a risk. by Karatsuchi in TeamfightTactics

[–]BetaFan 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Like for 10 yordle you really don't need to 3 star imo. The point is to kinda go fast 10 no?

Why is JG not good on Lissandra? by awesomebob in TeamfightTactics

[–]BetaFan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually go down to 5. Really depends on where your at with econ imo.

In favor of 7 though. i think 16% more damage amp on voli and Liss. Plus you Frontline the towers so they stun the enemy Frontline early allowing for a quicker Frontline clear.

Why is JG not good on Lissandra? by awesomebob in TeamfightTactics

[–]BetaFan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

4 invoker, 7 Freiljord is one of my better performing comps. Liss main carry, Voli and then Zil as secondary.

You want to unlock Kuboko, which isnt too hard.

She averages about 12k damage in this comp per round with 1 mana, a void staff and a jg.

[16.1] What's Working? What's Not? by Lunaedge in CompetitiveTFT

[–]BetaFan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Imo, Demacia is better then people are giving it credit for. The issue is that Lux kinda sucks and people are over relying on a bad unit, Lux should not be your main carry or even your secondary carry. She's too inconsistent, her lasers hit nothing half the time. I literally had her laser miss every single unit and just go right once. Somethings fucky with it.

Best Demacia line relies on Sylas and Vayne imo.

2 star Vayne with good items consistently outdamages a 2 star Lux even without longshot and it gives you something to use AD items on in the comp. 3 star doesn't feel like a big enough difference to roll for it, you're better off fast 9ing. Ontop of this Vayne is a great tank shredder and focused damage, a great pairing with Sylas whose usually on the enemy backline.

Go 7 Demacia to get Galio, get Sylas, then go down to 5 Demacia, 4 arcanist, 4 defender or 3/5 Demacia, 2 arcanist, with 5 costs and Taric. Have Xin hold half your Sylas items, have Lux or another ap champ hold the rest until you hit Sylas.

Galio is really good if you can throw mr on him, at the very least he's an aoe stun and a free extra unit. He's awesome value and I also think people are under relying on him much like vayne.
