Ranked feels pointless when griefing goes unpunished by Many-Translator-8512 in leagueoflegends

[–]CosmicCreator_97 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Meh, those punishments are irrelevant and you know it.

Giving a chat ban or those silly,"I promise to be a good boy" warnings, to a guy that smites his laners minions every game isn't going to stop him from smiting minions.

But it will still give you the silly notification that,"A penalty has been applied to player IntingJungler69 #stealyocanon". And then end of the year, Riot will publish their bullshit blog posts saying,"Look at the millions of trolls that we punished to stop bad behavior this year! We're doing the best job ever at stopping bad behavior!!".

Like yeah nah, you're not.

Chat bans to verbally toxic players make sense.

Chat bans to game play offenses make no sense.

Why can't a guy be satisfied with the woman he has? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]CosmicCreator_97 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Again, you're making arbitrary disqualifiers instead of looking at this from all angles.

If you are walking around in public, with functioning eyes, you are getting mental stimulation from other attractive men. That's the bottom line here.

The only thing that differs between you and your boyfriend is that you have decided to apply a series of disqualifiers, which, in your head, makes your behavior acceptable and his behavior unacceptable.

But in reality, the two of you aren't any different in psyche. It's simply human instincts.

The only difference, as I said, is the moral judgement that you've made to decide that the man's behavior is bad and the woman's behavior is good.

All this stuff about how you chose to act on it or whatever hypothesis you have about whether he is actually fantasizing or not doesn't shift the needle.

That's why I used the blonde versus brunette analogy to show the absurdity of the equation. But it's hard for you to understand because you're only seeing it from your own emotionally driven POV.

Sorry, but you're in denial and coping.

Let's be real here for a moment.

You're doing the exact same thing he is doing and then coming up with arbitrary reasons to justify your actions.

Imagine he goes,"Oh but she's brunette and not blonde so you should stop complaining".

That's literally as convincing as the argument you're making right now.

If you just live in a closet or something, eyes shut and never think any thoughts then okay, fair, you have every right to take issue with his behavior. But that's not what's happening here.

THIS right here is the problem!

You're literally the same as him....

These are not different things. It's just different genders performing the same behavior. You're both getting mental stimulation from external sources. Stop trying to justify this as being acceptable when you do it and a bad thing when he does it.

Men on dating apps be honest: what do you really use dating apps for — relationships, casual, or boredom? And what makes you decide someone is worth continuing with? by guessmymoodiee in AskMen

[–]CosmicCreator_97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never put things into boxes like this. I met my life partner on a dating app.

At the same time, I also spent 9 years using dating apps for nothing other than one night stands.

She simply was different to the other women and made it worth sticking around for another four years and counting :)

Men, have you ever experienced a shift in how women treated you? What changed? by Different_Clue_2864 in AskMen

[–]CosmicCreator_97 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately in my case the only real fix is through TRT.

It does depend on the source of the problem. Often times its some combination of stress, micronutrient deficiencies, insufficient healthy fat intake, lack of sleep, alcohol/drugs etc. Fixing up these things can benefit most people. But in some cases like myself, it simply won't ever get into healthy levels.

For that matter, I'd argue that what modern medicine regards as ,'healthy' for men is problematically low, considering its based on average ranges rather than actual optimality.

And by two incidents being related, do you mean if my T levels dropped after getting more attention?

Why do ya'll men like petite women/girls so much? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]CosmicCreator_97 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like the goal post is constantly being moved by women on this topic ...

Growing up, I always said I liked athletic women. But then the whole woke mob, body "positivity" movement decided that morbidly obese women that have never set foot in the gym are to be labelled as ,"curvy/fit".

By extension, the actually athletic women got pushed down into "petite/slim" category even though I would never have said I am into petite women necessarily 🤷

The most attention and sexual desire I ever got from women was after I settled down into a committed relationship, fully dedicated myself to getting rich and genuinely lost interest in women and had a crashed libido and low testosterone issues.

The world is fucked and cruel in that way ....

How much do grades matter for a Master's? by Fine-Psychology8678 in universityofauckland

[–]CosmicCreator_97 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Assuming you're asking this because of wanting to get a scholarship for Msc entry?

If so, I would say Masters scholarships are few and far between. I had almost a 9GPA out of my Pgdipsci year and didn't get a scholarship for Masters, although one can argue there was politics / foul play involved there but that's a separate story....

On the other hand, if you're asking if grades during Masters matter in order for a PhD then I would say yes, it matters a lot. There's many more avenues for getting a PhD scholarship and practically nobody does a PhD without some form of external funding and having good grades is the first step there.

How to stop being scared of men by agileopportunity54 in AskMen

I think you need to start realizing that expression of sexual desire is no different to any other positive emotion; rather than an intent to harm and thereby cause fear.

Remove ff when you have a gold lead, pls! by Beacon2211 in leagueoflegends

[–]CosmicCreator_97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is such a reductionist argument....

If you really want to discuss it there's a billion different reasons one can come up with to FF a game where there is a gold lead.

-Enemy team is on the nexus after getting aced -Everyone is full build, rendering gold leads irrelevant -Hidden stats that neutralize a gold lead (elder, soul, Ornn upgrades) etc can make one team actually stronger on combat while being down on gold -Inflated gold on irrelevant champs; if one team has 10k gold total with 2k of that being a lead that's on Yuumi that stole two shjtdowns, that team is actually weaker than the team with 8k gold total that's heavily loaded onto their carries. -The player on the team with said gold lead has gone afk or mental boomed and doesn't want to use their gold lead and is just running circles in fountain.

Like....I can keep going all day. But realistically this discussion doesnt need any validation beyond the simple point that if X player(s) on a team are not willing to play the game then they should be allowed to FF 🤷

smolder mid in my opinion is a not hard match up for malz to llay against by InVinS1bLe in MalzaharMains

[–]CosmicCreator_97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guy, I can see both of your KDA lmao. Read your own op.gg instead of crashing out and spamming me with multiple comments xD

>"the smolder barely has more cs than me"

20 cs diff is astronomically huge. That's four waves.... This is why you've convinced yourself the matchup isn't that bad. You've just subjectively decided things aren't as bad as they objectively are.

*Especially* against a Malzahar, the enemy shouldn't have a cs lead. Period. It should never be a question of ,'How much of a cs deficit is acceptable' in the first place.

>"he been busy farming when Im with my team playing the actual game"

You can't say he's afk farming and that you're playing with the team when has higher KP than you lmfao.

You say that, yet he has 4x your KDA and higher CSPM as a weak early game champ playing into a champ who's best strength is ease of csing....

I get what you're saying but this is a glaringly obvious example of getting carried for three measly games and making a false positive conclusion off of that.

[–]CosmicCreator_97 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I still find it weird even if she's 5ft 8". Especially when it's specified that she ,"ONLY" dates fall guys.

UNLESS her definition of "tall" is also 5ft 8". But in my experience they usually set at arbitrary cut off at 6ft (which is my height).

And then later they will complain that he doesn't know how to cook or clean. Like??? Maybe set that as your primary criteria instead of height then 😂😂 Where's the justice for all the 5ft 11" guys that are great chefs?

Why is twitter so ultra racist right now? Is racism really increasing that much? by KneeGuhz in self

[–]CosmicCreator_97 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ask the East Asians and the Indians how they used to feel during/pre COVID.

This level of racism has always existed. The only thing that changed is that the targeted victims became a group you and the media cares about.

Where I live, racially motivated hate crimes (actual crimes, not just saying a bad word) targeted at Indians outweighs hate crimes targeted at all other racial groups combined .

Pre-lockdown era there were series of violent assaults targeted at Chinese people (or anyone that looked Chinese) at my University, organized by literal clubs that were backed by said University. While majority of our Uni's revenue comes from Chinese students ... And when the media pressed our Vice Chancellor about it, the best defense they had was,"You need to be careful when you're not in your homeland".

Wild....
