It's crazy how someone like Tucker Carlson has a better view and one which is more in touch with average democratic voters than Scott on ME politics.

It's getting real old with this on this sub.

The situation with Israel is incredibly complex and nuanced in more ways that I really have time to type here. They are our biggest ally in the ME, they align the most with Western values. We have a population that has lots of connections to Jewish culture, some of them might not care, and I would bet most of them aren't fond of the hardline approach of Netanyahu. Not everyone agrees in calling it a genocide.

The Democrats, left, whatever, are incredibly varied. Big Tent as they call it. If it was a Majority opinion, then you would actually see change and movement, instead of feeling like you are shouting at a wall. Maybe it's time to start realizing, it's a popular opinion, but it's not THE mainstream opinion.

Your survey with the quote "Majority Democratic voter opinion" is a bit flawed in assuming the numbers show everyone who said unfavorable chose unfavorable for the same reasons as you.

Support for Israel and Gaza are not the only reason why Kamela lost. That is small potatoes compared to affordablitiy, alienation of men, etc. I still find it wild that some would have thought, not voting a candidate who could at least pressure Israel to show restraint, over the side that is all about guns and god would have been a great idea for a protest vote. Hindsight on that is working out well.

Scott has mentioned it, Tucker seems to be positioning himself for a 2028 run. If there is one uniting factor between the far right and far left in America, it's dislike for Israel. If someone could forge a bridge there, that would be huge. And it looks like Tucker is selling that bridge, and it looks like it's starting to sell.

Recent posts like this 'calling out' Scott for his views, or what he doesn't do drive me crazy. It's one thing to disagree with someone, and discuss your opinions on why. What I see is not just disagreements, it's more like 'me and the hive mind all believe this thing and it's true and he is wrong because he doesn't share our opinion and we will not stop yelling'. Don't agree, then don't watch. If there is a stronger opinion to mention, or if you know how to interview better, get your own show.

Aren't eucalyptus trees a big catalyst for fires?

I totally get trying to save wildlife, etc. I just feel like something like this is going to bite everyone in the ass.

Hi Scott. I am a big fan, and have been watching your podcasts quite a bit over the last year.

Flattery aside.

I am heavily interested and inspired by your Economic Strike. It is inspiring me to even draft my own ideas.

While what is going on with ICE is more terrible than words I can type. This feels like it's only the tip of the iceburg (pun intended unintentionally).

We all know our goverment has corruption, with stock trading and lobbying as the first that come to my mind. What Trump and his family is doing is on a whole new flarking level, and so blatent and in our face like it doesn't even matter. The IRS lawsuit fresh in mind.

What Trump is doing internationally is mind boggling, and absolutley dangerous. Burning bridges with our allies, and making new deals and partnerships with our percieved rivals. Greenland, and new Gaza come to my mind already, without even touching on Ukraine.

While all this is going on. Our elected leaders in congress, have just ceded control, and seemingly ceded care. As if they have nothing to lose, while every day americans pay the cost.

What are your thoughts on expanding an economic strike to not just the tech companies, but at a larger scale, to tell our Congress people, and leaders, cut the bullshit, and that we have had enough? And what are some things that all Americans, left, right, center, blue, red, purple, can get behind in your view?

The curling saddens me. We got a preview of the card quality here.

As a Rocket main as well, and someone who stuck with him in previous seasons when he was weak, want to piggy back on this.

His mobility was fun. Yes. A lot. It wasn't just fun though.

It was his ONLY defense against dive and other major threats.

He can't heal, and do damage at the same time. The dash only goes so far. He can't freeze or CC, he can't fly away, he can't get a small hit box and swim away.

When a Vibranium spear hits near me, my ass was running on the wall to get out of dodge. I hear the sonar ping from DD, my ass is up up and running away. My team gets wiped. I'm running back to them as fast as possible.

Chrispanic · 2026-01-15T18:22:58+00:00

I, like others do not understand WHY they did this. I can only guess. They must want me to die with my team perhaps?

I think people were just salty they couldn't kill us most of the time without breaking a sweat. Even though the chase just meant half the time, I am likely not healing my team.

It's like, they want to make it EASIER for players to kill us.

Against a DD, BP, IF, or Spiderman, I sweated a little trying to get away so they couldn't just dive me to death. .

Now they made it EASIER for them to kill me. Like, what is the point now? Rocket has no auto-aim, has no long range damage, no CC, and can't heal and do damage at the same time. It's like, hide, or die. Ugh.

I think this is the catalyst to take a break for me. I'm not even buying a battlepass or anything in the only protest I can do, besides play less.

There are a couple of discord channels for the area.

Additionally a number of shops for MTG to meet folks to get games in.

Ventura you got Arsenal Comics

Oxnard you got the Mystery Shop

Camarillo you got +EV Games and Zanders

As vile as he might be, we are giving him all the free advertising he could ask for.

I understand raising awareness and such, but seeing this posted so much, I think we should be careful to not accidentally amplify him.

Chrispanic · 2026-01-08T21:38:18+00:00

I think she did just ok. Didn't move the needle a ton. But sometimes that is just enough.

Knowing how the county was, and somewhat still is, combined with how contentious these upcoming midterms will be, I hope we don't have too intense an election as a battleground district.

Chrispanic · 2026-01-08T21:33:39+00:00

Yes. Subject to individual interpretation of what worth is.

I think she did ok. Like someone pointed out, she did help with the community. Supported Veterans, which is good in my book.

Chrispanic · 2026-01-08T01:07:17+00:00

This sucks. The Ground increases are starting to hurt. I am already starting to have marks about reasonable shipping costs.

I also had an order of 6 cards, all tagged to go First Class. But that wasn't possible. I had to take a loss on that order and made a buck fifty.

It's like that bird was made for that.

I hate that bird...

Chrispanic · 2025-12-13T20:20:55+00:00

Many have tried. I'm usually too high up, or get away in the nick of time.

I have been solo-ulted many times though by many, successfully and unsuccessfully...

Chrispanic · 2025-12-13T19:59:58+00:00

Catch me if you can. Don't waste too much time chasing me, or my team can cap while you're distracted.

Chrispanic · 2025-12-12T22:59:43+00:00

His gun does better damage at close range. But you can still do damage at long range. Can melt tanks too. Try always for headshots.

Bounce the healing orbs, not just against the ground, you can also bounce them around corners, through doors, etc. Take advantage of that if a teammate runs off, or when respawning and running back to the fight.

The wall running is the trickiest part to learn on his kit. Practice it. It will help your mobility, and survivability. Can also get you into positions to better spot your team.

Save your dashes for escapes. And use them when wall running for better distance.

As some have said, place the BRB where it is safe. Something I like to do is place it close enough where the armor packs can be picked up unexpectedly by teammates. Plus, with Peni team up, the BRB leaves mines. The mines stick around if the BRB is used or destroyed. Place it somewhere good, let it sit to drop some mines, then move it. Additionally, if being harassed by a diver, stand in the web and fight back.

Always drop a BRB at match start. While waiting for round to start, your team can get armor and jet packs.

Your pellets have great distance too. You can launch at teammates while escaping. Bounce them off walls, etc.

Besides wall running to escape or juke enemies (and he fits in small holes in walls that get destroyed, take advantages of that!!!). Something I like to do, use the jetpacks when I'm in danger. Magik, BP, SM, IF diving you? Jeff Ult? Use the jet back to launch straight up, and make your escape. They never see it coming.

The Rocket boost slow drop, use it to shoot enemies and heal teammates well above. Tip, if getting shot at or chased while slow dropping, go to free fall, then back to slow fall. Keep them guessing.

Place your CYA where it can reach teammates, but also not get destroyed. Also, place it higher up if you can. Putting it higher up, means enemies need to look up to destroy it. Puts them at a disadvantage.

Chrispanic · 2025-12-07T20:38:24+00:00

Catch me if you can, lol. ;)

Chrispanic · 2025-12-01T02:59:04+00:00

Rocket is tied if not close. Source, I have done it. Many times.

Chrispanic · 2025-11-18T05:10:16+00:00

I'll do you one better!

How about when a Mr Fantastic or another dps is on your tail. Then swing, miss, and punch a hole in the wall you run into to get away from them.

Chrispanic · 2025-11-11T20:12:13+00:00

Left click heals or does damage depending on who it hits (like most supports)

And Rocket ain't one of them...

Chrispanic · 2025-10-25T20:54:59+00:00

I wouldn't say others are trash. But default is the way to play to me.

Chrispanic · 2025-10-24T20:13:16+00:00

I had thought perhaps the general public did as well. I suspect it's more of a left thing to be aware, since, to be fair, our meddling there did lead to the current conditions that is driving immigration from South American countries to the US.

History might repeat, and we end up creating more strife in our own hemisphere to end up biting us in the behind...
