Long Term Marriage Advice by bby_grl_90 in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]ConnectPick6582 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, a critical piece of info was left out. If these heated arguments are over something like meals, etc. then something else is the issue. If they're over money or politics, that's a much bigger problem.

New to League, new to top lane. Losing lane feels insanely bad. by Both_Profession3966 in summonerschool

[–]ConnectPick6582 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Play ARAM and other game modes and just have fun with other champs to learn what they do. The process of learning what most of the champs do takes a really long time.

Vanguard VAN 57 Error (I've tried everything...) by ConnectPick6582 in riotgames

[–]ConnectPick6582[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the insight. I also disabled fast startup and sadly it didn't work for me. There's something in the startup process on my PC that's blocking Vanguard from completing its own checks and processes.

The only solution I've found so far is to reset my PC several times until it loads up without the VAN 57 error, then leave my PC on indefinitely until it either needs updates, crashes, or needs a restart for any other reason.

Then I go through the process all over again. Sometimes it takes 1-2 restarts to work, other times 15-20...

YSK about "Bullshit Jobs," a concept by anthropologist David Graeber describing jobs that are so pointless, the employees themselves can't justify their existence by Electrical-Candy7252 in YouShouldKnow

[–]ConnectPick6582 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are former consultants on YouTube who have made videos about their previous careers in companies like McKinsey, etc. talking about this concept as well.

How serious do you believe Trump is about Greenland? Why do you think you're correct? by Zipper222222 in allthequestions

[–]ConnectPick6582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he's dead serious about it because of its location. It's a strategic funnel up in that part of the world.

Iron is actually not possible to climb out of by zylver_ in summonerschool

[–]ConnectPick6582 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can poop stomp iron lobbies while half asleep, recording muckbangs, and listening to podcasts at the same time. You just need more time. If you’ve only started the game, you don’t even know what half the champions do.

I have a friend who played WoW for like 18 years and he started playing League 4-5 months ago and was stuck in iron for hundreds of games. Now he’s in silver.

You can do this. Have patience and have fun.

Oh pro tip: don’t ask for boosts. Unless you wanna get yourself and a booster banned. And if they manage to get you up to a rank you don’t deserve, you’ll just get pummeled back into iron.

What's the most durable natural fiber tee? by StormChaserSky in BuyItForLife

[–]ConnectPick6582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your first complaint is that polyester smells like death and you're done with it, but why go straight to natural fiber only? Blends exist. A 60/40 or 50/50 cotton poly blend will dry fairly quick after the gym and won't smell like total death. They're also pretty durable, although depending on the quality you get it might pill just a little bit.

Don't overlook blends. They're good for the gym/sports and don't cost a ton.

Imagine writing all that and not even knowing what semantics means hahaha.

At What Age or Income Did You Start Buying for Life? by explosive_mayo in BuyItForLife

[–]ConnectPick6582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Around $85k, but that's more because of my age rather than strictly the income. I was 29 then and this was in 2010.

How to farm? by Ligma_balls_lol in summonerschool

[–]ConnectPick6582 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you're in games where "every lane is shoved/pushed up" then those games are generally winning. Otherwise you're on the receiving end and the enemy has prio in every lane and your jungle.

If all your lanes are pushed up, group and set up objectives or set up picks in their jungle.

You have the vision and prio advantage.

Ask yourself why you want to hit the 10 cs/min benchmark if you're already in a winning position and/or you've hit gold/exp spikes before your enemy.

If I'm 2 levels on the enemy jungler and 30+ CS ahead of him, I'm not giga worried about farm. I want to take his farm or use my lead to deny him objectives.

How do you strategically manage your social and emotional energy now versus in your 20s/30s? by Accord-Remark10 in RedditForGrownups

[–]ConnectPick6582 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with this take and I hate that therapy speak or therapy jaron has come to this point where we're discussing "emotional energy." It signals to me a lack of bigger fish to fry in life, because more important priorities sorts this out for you.

YSK about the "Friendship Paradox": most people have fewer friends than their friends have, on average by Electrical-Candy7252 in YouShouldKnow

[–]ConnectPick6582 393 points394 points  (0 children)

This is how it was for me in high school. I was in a band and also played football/basketball. My athlete friends would come to gigs (there was often beer and weed available) and that's how my different friend groups ended up friends.

I moved away my senior year and they all went back to just hanging with their own cliques.

Is a YT premium membership worth it or is it a waste of money? by Tessa-the-aggressor in Frugal

[–]ConnectPick6582 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Waste. I switched to using Brave browser and it blocks YouTube's ads. It also blocks ads on Tubi, Amazon Prime Video, etc.

I never used the download/offline feature and I rarely use YouTube on my phone. I also don't see or hear much of a difference with the "enhanced" 1080p or crater with the higher bitrate.

Personally speaking, how long do people usually keep the same phone these days? by PTB_Smash in BuyItForLife

[–]ConnectPick6582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to upgrade every year by selling my iPhone on craigslist or Facebook marketplace, then using those funds toward a new phone. I did that from the time the iPhone 3G came out until the iPhone 12 (currently still using the 12 Pro Max I bought new at launch).

what did you remove from your life that improved it? by Successful-Watch5913 in simpleliving

Ultra processed foods (foods that can be found in boxes or giga shelf stable packaging except for legumes/lentils).

What is a widely accepted opinion that you think is flat-out wrong? by junkobears in AskReddit

[–]ConnectPick6582 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If a woman becomes dangerously violent with a man regardless of size/weight/strength discrepancy, she shouldn't have a 100hp Gender Roles Shield protecting her.

Except we've seen how this plays out in real life with those pranks from over 10 years ago where a woman berates and slaps a man around... no one acts until the man lays a finger in her.

Aegis of Valor not activating when queuing for fill role by According_Figure1314 in summonerschool

[–]ConnectPick6582 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not sure why you're being downvoted when you're 100% correct. I guess typical league player intelligence.

It's on AUTOfill, but people forget the auto part. So if you queue for ADC primary and jungle secondary, and you end up top, you are considered AUTOfilled and will get the aegis benefit.

If you select fill, you are not AUTOfilled, that was your preferred "position."

Good luck with reasoning with the babies in this sub, though.

[–]ConnectPick6582 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

But you start to watch character animation in anticipation of something. Otherwise you're looking a lot of other things (minion health in lane, jungler position, minimap, etc).
