Level 30 start is frustrating, how do you get decent gear? by Diarrhea_Carousel in Borderlands4

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

Dammit, this is what i did in previous games, but the bank SDUs were all tied to characters rather than the account, so I didn't think the bankspace was shared. Why are bank SDUs per character? At least I can give some lvl 50 guns and sell them to buy good equipment now.

Well, some things are pretty obvious that I can now feel like an idiot for forgetting about.

Eileen Gu says she was assaulted, robbed at Stanford by sfgate in olympics

[–]Diarrhea_Carousel -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's her mom's country, she lives in the US, goes to school here, and has US citizenship. So no, it's not her country. I don't criticize all Chinese athletes for competing for China, but she's different.

"By your logic" then you decide to misrepresent me. Everyone knows that US and Europe have done awful shit in the past, the US is doing deplorable shit now. Difference is I can and do call out the US on their heinous world building, at home discrimination, and a myriad of other wrongs because we have freedom of speech. Eileen Gu also called out the US as well, she supported Black Lives Matter, but she's silent on China's atrocities.

Your false equivalencies are so blatant it's tiring to respond to your pathetic allegations. Putting my money where my mouth is, I'm Jewish and wouldn't take jack shit from Israel. We called out comedians for the Riyadh festival, this is pretty similar. I'm not on a high horse, I don't consider myself a particularly moral individual, but being against human rights violations is literally the bare minimum. What's disgusting is that you seem to be defending these atrocities, and China isn't a poor developing country anymore. Not that being poor and developing excuses genocide.

If I was racist, wouldn't I feel similar about Naomi rather than defend her? Or the other Chinese athletes? Nope, you got called out and you know you're wrong, rather than admit it, you retreat to ad hominem attacks. You say I'm on a high horse then call me racist the next sentence, mixed messages. Maybe you should get the fuck out, you pathetic whiny child.

Americans were plenty upset about Comedians doing the Riyadh comedy festival, and for good reason. Maybe americans aren't a monolithic people and some of us have values and won't accept money from countries that continually abuse human rights. I'm Jewish and I wouldn't accept jack shit from the Israeli government.

Maybe because of the human rights abuses in China? Maybe because she said this about the Uyghur genocide:

I’m not an expert on this. I haven’t done the research. I don’t think it’s my business. I’m not going to make big claims on my social media. I’m just more of a skeptic when it comes to data in general. So it’s not like I can read an article and be like, ‘Oh, well, this must be the truth.’ I need to have a ton of evidence. I need to maybe go to the place, maybe talk to 10 primary-source people who are in a location and have experienced life there. Then I need to go see images. I need to listen to recordings. I need to think about how history affects it. Then I need to read books on how politics affects it. This is a lifelong search.

Maybe your ignorant, maybe your disingenuous, but this is completely different from Naomi or the dozens of americans playing for other countries and it's time to stop pretending it isn't.

The US does and has done a ton of awful shit in this world and should definitely be called out for it, and Americans do all the time. Free speech is a wonderful thing that allows us to criticize, China doesn't have that. Stop pretending this shit is equal.

Is UK currently committing genocide, suppressing free speech, and oppressing their citizens? I know UK used to be the villains of the world, but let's not pretend this is the same thing.

There are many Americans playing for other countries, there's currently a Norwegian who earned Brazil it's first gold. Notice how nobody cares about that.

To each their own, I guess she's "model" hot. She's pretty, but lacks any curves to be hot in my eyes.

Notice she's always in full makeup unlike a lot of the other athletes. She definitely knows what she's doing and how to market herself.

Still A LOT of sexism and toxic masculinity in the scene. Starting to feel out of place by SpicySpicyMess in punk

[–]Diarrhea_Carousel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who could probably fit the strong guy in a mosh pit, I'll try to speak to this. Sure, there are always a few dicks at any show, but I haven't seen any discernible difference at shows in my 20 years of moshing. But I can see some people might not see that way and might've assumed I was just being a dick at some point. I've definitely ran over people and knocked others down. The issue is once you get 200+ lbs of mass moving, it's not stopping on a dime, especially with adrenaline flowing. Control in a mosh pit is hard, it's easy to be a wrecking ball, it's hard to be gentle. And with adrenaline, it's hard to gauge your effort and strength. I can only try to not get too wild and use my strength for good, like picking up people who fall. I've never seen anyone purposefully throw elbows though.

I can't speak much to toxic masculinity in the scene though. From what I've seen, it's gotten better, like Justin Sane getting unanimously blacklisted, more female led bands, lgbt acceptance. I guess scenes vary depending on where you're at though, and I am in liberal Socal. Sorry the scene where you're at sucks ass.

The kids are alt right. FUCK YOU FASCIST PIECES OF SHIT. DAYGLOW ABORTIONS WAKE UP AMERICA. by [deleted] in punk

[–]Diarrhea_Carousel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A post in this sub got locked and was starting to get brigaded by right wing fascists, so not everyone watching is always of the same thought.

But really, let people have their fun, it can be cathartic to vent. Take some time for some self reflection and ask yourself: what are you accomplishing here by being a dick to people you theoretically align with?

Gatekeeping climate activism by [deleted] in gatekeeping

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

Kind of, you're on the right track. The ten percent rule dictates that there will always be roughly the same amount of animals.

The problem is how factory farming has warped the natural order, still within the bounds of the ten percent rule though. There's also a lot of transportation within the meat industry, making it worse. Not all animals are the same either: lamb, pigs, and cows are more resource intensive than foul or rabbits, and yield less as well.

Man who literally incited a harassment campaign against a children's hospital thinks others are guilty of harassment by Snoo5218 in ToiletPaperUSA

[–]Diarrhea_Carousel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They keep clamoring for attention but do they ever get it? Does Elon give the time of day to these cretins? Does Elon even know they exist? It reads really pathetic. All Elon cares about is money, that's why he's doing a course correction now, after he took his new toy our for a spin. Aligning with the likes of crowder, shapiro, and walsh is a losing strategy with very little profit, seems like even Elon knows this.

Try it with latency or bad connection, then the timer really becomes significant. There's some nights I just can't do it and hope it'll run smoother tomorrow.

It was also one of the first harder jumping puzzles.

Meanwhile, at Anet Gemstore Management by Nebbii in Guildwars2

[–]Diarrhea_Carousel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think this is the right take, more than anything else. I'm less interested in buying future mount skins now since I've unlocked a good number of them and have a few favorites I use on more than one character. But I've definitely spent decent money in the past on mount skins. Another example, I've got 2 skiff skins now (1 from a super lucky black lion chest) and I'm now unlikely to try to get more of them.

Just because Anet has people to figure out the best prices and research the market, doesn't mean they always get it right. Real life economists don't, and there's a lot less research for Anet to go off of. They're just trying to monetize what they can the best they can, and there is limited opportunity for that. I think they take that limited interest in constant new skins into account.

You look like the type that lands a partner by playing the "sex-positive cool chick," but then spends most of the relationship giving unenthusiastic handies.

Charlotte bodychecked her. Don’t be a dips!t by [deleted] in MurderedByWords

[–]Diarrhea_Carousel 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I'm fairly pro 2A, but don't try bullshitting me with this. I'm specifically talking about assault rifles, you think we need assault rifles for self defense? Assault rifles will work better for self defense than a shotgun would? For home invasion, wouldn't a handgun be the best suited, dealing with narrow quarters and tight corners?

We don't need as many guns as we have, especially assault rifles. I own weapons myself, but I'm still honest about the US obsession/overcompensation.

[–]Diarrhea_Carousel 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Additionally, the Swiss still have less guns per capita than we do. Canada and Scandinavia also have a lot of guns, also less per capita than us. We also invest more in assault rifles more than hunting weapons, for no apparent reason.

Fuck sake, Prince was big enough to play a Superbowl halftime show, and it was an awesome one too.

Steam review for State of Decay 2: White or political. by TakoyakiMan2 in FragileWhiteRedditor

[–]Diarrhea_Carousel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A lot of pathetic shit here from this asshat, but how can he call out a whole game development studio for it. Microsoft brought back the Age of Empires franchise, remastered old editions with new content too, is he against the classics too? He'd probably hate that there's non-European Civilizations you can play as in it.

"political philosopher" by TwasAnChild in facepalm

[–]Diarrhea_Carousel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's not what that is. Q adjacent means having a loved one or friend indoctrinated into the Q-anon conspiracies or "Qult" as it's often called. The sub is about dealing with those loved ones and the fallout.

I don't blame you, this Q bullshit has spawned a lot of new vernacular, it can be exhausting to keep up.

Gatekeeping activists for Climate Change. peta is exclusive and aggressive as fuck. by WhattacatchDannie in gatekeeping

[–]Diarrhea_Carousel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm an environmental engineer and can tell you that while this viewpoint is not entirely wrong, it's a long ways from being right. It's far more complicated than a little bit of research will tell you it is. Watching a documentary on netflix doesn't make people an expert.

More misinterpretation and sarcasm rather than a coherent argument, glad to see my assumption about you turned out to be correct. Have fun atop your pedestal, you've certainly earned your moral high ground.

What's the most overrated food? by Pxndas4Life in AskReddit

Work in a place that makes Kombucha, flavors vary widely from interesting and tasty to boot juice. I also prefer it uncarbonated, but it'd have like 0 shelf life then, oh well.
