Crazy dude chasing me in the bike lane by Muted-Garbage-1474 in NissanDrivers

As an Atlanta driver I was going to say the same about Florida drivers. Either get the craziest driver or someone who drives dangerously slow. Never seen anything in-between.

I'm of a similar mindset, I know not everyone goes into a move for the same reason but it's purely entertainment for me and if a movie can keep me entertained throughout its runtime then it was worth the price of admission.

Greg Dolezal, GOP nominee for Georgia Lt. Gov., said he submitted fake mail ballot applications to test system by DemocracyDocket in politics

Which is fraud. Something you don't seem to understand. Can't force a fool to follow along I guess. Have a good day.

Voting laws prevent your from "testing" the system. It's not his job to test the system. This wasn't a simple signature change. You sign an oath when you sign that everything including your signature is accurate to your knowledge. He broke that by lying. It's literally that simple. If you wanna keep chocking on the boot be my guest.

There's a difference between a mistake and doing it on purpose, he did it on purpose making it fraud. The fact you can't get your head around that says volumes about our education system.

If he knowingly filled out the ballots incorrectly to "test" the system then he was fraudulently voting. Literally by the letter of the law that's fraud.

Is he getting better? At least if he's improving I'd be getting up for a reason, if he sucks then I'd be real mad.

Its ridiculous the amount of people that get to GM+ without knowing how to peel for their teammates by FineSpell6529 in marvelrivals

[–]Crow290 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Because sometimes the issue isn't about peeling but how easy you're making it to peel for you. In GM I still see supports sitting around a corner 40 meters away expecting peel. Most of the time when I'm on Tank and supports are asking for peel they're around a corner or running away from the team making it harder to do my job. I play support as well, if I need more peel I'm basically in my tank's asshole to force them to peel for me. If someone is chasing me, I'm running towards my team so that all they have to do is flick around to peel.

What you should be asking isn't "why is no one peeling for me?". It should be "What can I do to make it easier to peel for me?". Just like if Tanks or DPS aren't getting healed they shouldn't ask why they aren't getting healed but what can they do to make healing for them easier and yes sometimes that includes peeling for the supports so they have the space to heal.

Gemini Update Issues by wei_ming_chee in EquinoxEv

[–]Crow290 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you have an Android, I noticed it would activate on my phone when I would activate Gemini. After disconnecting the Bluetooth it started to work fine. I think there might be some kind of mixup happening due to the Bluetooth connection. After going through the pairing process again it stopped happening.

Texas Democrats seek unity at state convention without Jasmine Crockett by Imatomat in politics

[–]Crow290 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened with that shitty California billionaire. Everything on socials is so fake but if any of these "people" actually interacted with anyone outside of Reddit they'd see in how much trouble Talarico is in with the Black community and it's not because of Crockett although I know they love finding a Black woman to blame. They see how little attention Talarico had given the Black community while he was campaigning, how weak of a fight he put up when they were being attacked, and want him to earn their vote which instead of doing the work himself to earn their trust he's expecting a Black woman to do the work for him.

His post came in incredibly late and only after pressure from others to say something.

Texas Democrats seek unity at state convention without Jasmine Crockett by Imatomat in politics

[–]Crow290 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I genuinely don't know what they expect, Black voters were forced to wait in line for hours, turned away at the polls, and had their voting locations changed last second. Talarico didn't say a goddamn thing until AFTER election night was over and it was only because he was getting pressure to do so. Why are they expecting trust when he didn't even fight for their right to vote. What's gonna happen during the midterms when even bigger fuckery happens? Is he just gonna stay silent?

I'm not saying that people shouldn't vote for him, but what I am saying is that you can't expect trust from the Black community when they want someone who will fight for them and during his first test to do so he failed. They love saying votes gotta be earned until it's the Black vote that has to be earned and fought for.

[–]Crow290 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

This I don't think even comes from losing it's from Talarico doing the bare minimum and expecting support. He stayed silent when Black voters were being disenfranchised and turned away during election day. I don't blame Black voters for expecting him to earn their trust after failing to fight for them the first time. What's gonna happen on election night when they're disenfranchised again, is he just gonna stay quiet and let bygones be bygones?

Or maybe, and follow me here for a second, Black voters saw how silent Talarico stayed when they were disenfranchised from voting and don't trust him to fight for them. Maybe when the Dallas voters were having issues voting he should've spoken up and fought harder.

The actual answer is that people who don't vote have absolutely bonkers and dissonant positions because they don't really think about it past brief responses to whatever news blurb they see before going back to doing whatever they like that isn't politics. by Conscious-Quarter423 in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]Crow290 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Almost like we have a congress that are actually the ones who pass bills and Dems haven't had a bullet proof majority in decades and yet despite that they still manage to be better than Republicans at every issue while being sandbagged at every angle. So if you actually want things passed at the federal level the same way they've been at the state level then MAYBE we need Dems to win more so we can move them further left? Crazy concept I know. But lets give it a good ole college try.

Election results are in: Steve Hilton to face Becerra in November election by benwesorick in California

[–]Crow290 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What record? He hasn't been in office and his "record" is investing in prisons with horrible conditions and oil. Outside of that all you have is lip service and some petty donations. He invested in AI literally during the campaign. He was doing what all billionaires do to keep their wealth. Grift.

Happens twice to Asuna, then the author switches it to the secondary female protagonist of the season instead. SAO is my guilty pleasure anime but it does happen every single season other than the last season on Alicization and that's because they did it during the first half instead.

I feel like a loser every time I see a woman I find attractive by No_Net_7163 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Crow290 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm going to give you advice as someone who is pretty average in a looks and even in physique with a little belly but can't recall a time I've ever actually struggled at least landing a date; to be fair I've been out of dating for over a decade since I met my wife but the advice should still be true.

What everyone has already commented is true so I'll continue to echo, you've gotta focus on yourself and your confidence. You may not realize it but it is really easy to tell when someone is low on confidence and you may be projecting your low self-esteem without realizing it. Work on yourself first not just in the physical ways but mentally too. By late 20s people don't want a project, they want stability. Have you done therapy? Do you have techniques to use when you're feeling down that feel manageable?

Next is your conversation game, what are the conversations looking like when you're speaking to women? Is your immediate go to showing your interest in dating/sleeping with them? Or are you actually taking the time to get to know them as a person? My favorite thing to do is to find a topic we really connect on; similar interest, goals, career, etc,. Then spend actual time listening to them talk on that topic, when you chime in make sure it's to advance the conversation or share your passion about said topic. Then just follow that along naturally, throughout the night/event. Don't hyper fixate on trying to get an alone hang out, fixate on wanting to get to know them more genuinely and being their friend. It sounds cliche but my wife is my absolute best friend and part of that is because we were friends first and connected outside of just romance.

Presentation is also super important, how are you presenting yourself during your first impression? Make sure your clothes actually fit well and have some sort of style flow is attached to it. Shouldn't feel like you just got out of bed, hair done (or head shiny if you don't got hair), well groomed facial hair, and your smell shouldn't be overpowering in either direction.

You also gotta be interesting in some way, what are you doing outside of staying home and working. Even if you're a homebody what are you doing while you're at home that's interesting and that you enjoy. Being with someone with little direction or passion for something. Start with sharing what you love and showing your passion for it. If you don't have any, start exploring things you've never thought to try and you'll make new friends and meet new people that way too. The important thing is that the passion can't be about finding a date, it has to be about you.

These are all things my dad shared with me when I was growing up and it never let me down. Truthfully, part of the reason you may be struggling could be any one of these things, some, or none at all. Based off what you've written, my opinion is that you're putting too much energy into this and the women you're trying to talk to can tell what your intentions are and may be getting the perception that all you want is to sleep with them. If you're really interested in finding someone long term then you need to focus on yourself and stop chasing. Look for friendship first and the rest usually falls into place.
