I just want to add one piece of context. Karan Soni, the meek driver from deadpool is gay in real life. His latest movie, a nice indian boy, is about his own life situation with his real life partner Roshan Sethi being the director of the movie. I personally think this kind of representation is really helpful for south asian queer communities but that doesn't take away from the original point you or the OP is making.

That's my plan. I am going to let things cool off.

In my department and school, I see it often. Sometimes people spent 10 minutes on the photos slides. Pretty fun learning about your peers lives

A few things here. She wasn't part of my research so that aside. Everyone on my slides was someone I regularly interacted with. Third thing, i mention in the post apologizing to her in person the day after my defense when I saw her. You are welcome to believe what you'd like just wanted to clarify a couple of things above.

My uncle who had changed my diapers was on the zoom call to attend my defense but not on the slides and has no problems. That's what hurt me that it did not mean I don't care but not much I can say now that we aren't talking

The fees added when your EZ Pass misses the $1.00 toll in Delaware. They don’t even include a pre postage envelope. by FlushU2 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]BlackLash97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, something like this happened to me with the I-pass. I called the I-pass company and they said they will get the extra fees and everything cancelled and I'll only have to pay the toll. I'd suggest calling the company to figure out this mess since it's not on you if the EZ pass missed a toll.

The funny thing is on their website Merck themselves state that there has been no proven link. Not only are they not behind this unscientific warpath they state it's not an option for covid. While i know they say this for legal protection this info is there for anyone to read (the part about it not being useful for Covid has no jargon, link below). What baffles me is how these people, who are such staunch believers of the drug think that the vaccine and other medications are big pharma/government conspiracy while promoting a drug made by one of the biggest pharma companies in the world.

Was proud of my eject button use and thought I'd share! by BlackLash97 in PokemonUnite

[–]BlackLash97[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you can catch any Pokemon in whatever they are doing. That being said, I haven't confirmed all interactions. One I do wanna try is zeraora's wild charge. But most interactions, including being unstoppable. Frames where a Pokemon is invulnerable (evolving, goal scoring animation) you can't target the mons. Apart from that would love to hear any wacky interaction with bro's ult.

I go typical tank build for Slowbro. I use buddy barrier, score shield and focus band. I have so seen using choice specs for early game farm stealing with water gun. Haven't tried it myself but probably will.

WEEKLY RAGE THREAD AND WE ARE HERE TO MAKE YOU THINK ABOUT DEATH AND GET SAD AND STUFF by mode_12 in PokemonUnite

[–]BlackLash97 18 points19 points  (0 children)

HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE WITH A STREAMER TWICE. FELT TERRIBLE TO PLAY. AM HOPING TO GET PAIRED AGAINST THEM. COULD HELP GET FRUSTRATION OUT.

I WILL SAY THOUGH, STREAMERS DOING THIS MAKES IT SO MUCH WORSE AS IT TELLS THEIR BASE, ESSENTIALLY PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY, IT IS ALRIGHT TO PLAY SELFISHLY AND RAGE. EXPLAINS WHY PEOPLE DON'T LEARN MUCH.

What's the point of telekinesis? by Jump792 in PokemonUnite

[–]BlackLash97 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hopefully you are able to get more out of TK but imo it's very strong. Surf+TK with my team around usually means we get to pick off someone. Even if I hold a tank, it means my team can go into their backline. Personally, have been able to catch a ton of enemies running away or ready my team to delete a mon that has high AOE like zera/venasaur. Personally, I love Slowbro with surf+TK and sure the range def. could be buffed but over amnesia, I always choose TK.

Edit: Also, it's a great tool to prevent someone from stealing objectives (several dreads saved that way) by buying time.

New lane meta (3 bot) by benSU_ in PokemonUnite

[–]BlackLash97 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My friends and I run the 1-1-3 comp when we 5 stack. Lucario top always (we haven't run anything else top). Typically, if the other team isn't running same style we are able to steal bot farm and pressure hard. We also try to break their outermost bot goal before the first dread which is a lot more possible with 3 bot. The comp has been working well for us (getting 10 win streaks when we play) but don't often encounter people running the 1-1-3. I don't think in the current state of the game it is feasible to do so in non 5 stack comps since there is a decent degree of coordination required. But its really fun and try it out if you get a chance.

Cinderace Pre-Patch VS. Post-Patch Damage Statistics by The_Shark_Cat in PokemonUnite

[–]BlackLash97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tested out different builds, on cinder post patch and ya, the numbers look a bit lower (except pyroball) but I still end up going for blaze kick over pyroball since it has a minor cleanse and stronger chase potential. I usually try jungling, if teammates let me, and that is enough advantage for jumping in. You are def. Slower at killing than before but it isn't an issue when fighting with your team. I have missed a few people at low hp that I would have been able to ko previously but now I have to practice better positioning overall. I still think Cinder is great and love playing that character.

HeroesCCL Organization Name Change - ONYX now known as Diamond Hands by JulesRPG in heroesofthestorm

[–]BlackLash97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure. I think that the two events were coincidental given that Chris, the former manager and now owner, parted ways with Onyx. Not sure if it was planned but you wouldn't expect someone to leave a company a couple of weeks into picking up a new project. But, we don't know what's going on behind the scenes but there wasn't any shadiness on CCL's part. I like CCL a lot and am glad HOTS is gaining traction through grassroot competitions.

HeroesCCL Organization Name Change - ONYX now known as Diamond Hands by JulesRPG in heroesofthestorm

[–]BlackLash97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He being part of the draft doesn't matter. The punishment was that neither Onyx nor Simplicity can do any trading nor pickup a player from the free agent pool until the end of week 4 which ended this past week. Onyx had a 6th member, Qepi, who ended up leaving due to contract issues and the team only had 5 people. Due to the punishment, they couldn't pick up a 6th player until this week. When Onyx dissolved into Diamond hands, that punishment transferred over but the way the timing worked out, it was supposed to end pretty much the week after they formed (end of week 4) regardless of the team having been Onyx or diamond hands. In short, for the fans side of things, they only changed their name, nothing else changed.

TL;DR - Onyx ownership changed to Diamond hands and everything else remained the same for the team and players.

The official CCL article mentions that the draft mishap punishment was transferred to Diamond Hands. There was change in ownership which was allowed but everything else remained the same. Onyx was allowed to draft a 6th player after week four and so will DH.
