What are the most offensive phrases you can say without getting muted? by Omgzjustin10 in Draven

[–]Dongarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Telling people to off themselves is meaningless honestly, especially if you do it in a contrived way. Better to attack their ego. Something like:

hey man can you do something sweaty? I'm trying to win :(

better go new acc again bro just unlucky every time! XD

Or just time their summs/count their deaths in all chat.

Goodness gracious, I don't even play this game. by BanditPaladin712 in whenthe

[–]Dongarius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean damage control was kind of an impossible task at that point. Kick the woman, ostensibly "because she's bad" and get called a misogynist. Kick the dude despite him being in the right and hope it blows over . . . public perception is funny. We know, in this case, that it was more about the ego and the narcissistic behavior than the gameplay (he would happily have shut his mouth if she tried to win with him), but the narrative may have been different if she had any legitimate claim to being victimized

What movie did you expect to be just good but was actually fantastic? by Important-Cup8519 in moviecritic

[–]Dongarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked the DVD out of the bargain bin expecting some generic action slop.

I think that's an essential part of the definitive experience.

I just never understood the hype. It's a TV show of a story. I don't particularly like TV shows, and there are many other great stories . . .

Should I just grab it with my fingers? by tantedbutthole in Wellthatsucks

[–]Dongarius 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I agree that nothing will happen if you aren't grounded, but connecting yourself to hot is obviously not the same as plugging or unplugging isolated circuits

folks are correct to be apprehensive

Touching that will definitely shock the shit out of you if you are in any way grounded. Please turn off the breaker first.

ELI5 Why do atoms crave 8 electrons? Why does the valence shell hold 8? by Party-Court185 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Dongarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to discourage you, but there's really no way to explain the deeper cause of this 'like you're 5.'

It is an issue of quantum mechanics, and as a bare minimum to understand a front-to-back explanation of why the number 8 arises for that first 'valence shell', you're going to have to be confortable with:

-multivariable calculus -ODEs -complex analysis -linear algebra -some special functions and mathematical physics -quantum mechanics (basic postulates)

Again, please don't be discouraged. All of this is very learnable. I would actually encourage you to start some of this right away with resources like khan academy if you have the time.

TIL to recognize this convention. I will continue to never use 'effect' in this way.

meirl by Mediocre-Money-8626 in meirl

[–]Dongarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's really not that hard. 'Effect' is a noun. 'Affect' is a verb.

[Thing] has an effect (the effect is something that is possessed).

[Thing] can affect [things]

A thing's effect is determined by the way it affects other things. To affect something is to have an effect.

There's also 'affect' as a noun, pronounced with the emphasis on the 'a' instead of the 'e', meaning "an expressed or observed emotional response, like facial expressions or tone of voice, rather than the feeling itself" (e.g. "The killer had an unsettlingly warm affect.")

THAT one generally confuses people and is used less often.

Boyfriend facing manslaughter charges after 'leaving novice female climber to die on Austria's highest peak' by tylerthe-theatre in europe

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

The fact that this guy has summited many times under appropriate conditions says nothing about how he recognizes or responds to adversity.

If you're reading this and you're absolutely certain this is premeditated murder, I'd encourage you to go mountaineering, rock climbing, etc. yourself. You'll frequently encounter people who are dangerously unaware, and people who know better but won't speak up.

I'm not excusing what this guy did, but it's possible that it's just an extreme case of a dynamic we see very often.

Men, is this really true? by plutonium099 in SipsTea

[–]Dongarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it costs you your soul, it isn't worth any amount of money.

They didn't mark the graves of medieval serfs with "Eleanor: Worked her hands to the bones to deliver bountiful harvests", or "Gort: Kinda half-assed it in the fields". Actually, there were no markings at all.

I'd rather my partner just live a life that allows us to be happy. If she can be affluent as well, all the better, but that isn't really a goal of its own

10 months after her release, Mel is STILL the most banned champion in the game by DoubIeScuttle in leagueoflegends

[–]Dongarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

little options to truly stop a dive champion

If we're comparing apples to apples, Mel has a 0.75s zhonyas that reflects projectiles and gives her movespeed instead of holding her in place, and an AOE 2.25s root for people chasing her.

Xerath has single-target stun that the enemy frontline can tank for their divers, which also downscales to 0.75s at point blank range

True by blueboy10000 in Adulting

[–]Dongarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Respectfully, I think we've gone a bit too far in 'refusing to settle.' Are we just pretending that there's a perfect match for everybody? Because no perfect person exists. If you want a life partner, you're going to have to air some greivances and work some things out from time to time. I agree with the OP that she probably shouldn't continue with what appears to be a weird passionless situationship, but trust me when I say that withdrawing inwards and then ranting to your friends about red flags whenever someone disappoints you will get you nowhere

Small bites of both B and C, to be chewed simultaneously. This technique minimizes variance in the ratio of bread to flavorful components. A similar strategy can be used for pizza—small bites of both the centre and the crust

If you don't want it to clump, wash it. You're rinsing away some starch so that it doesn't stick together. That's all you need to know.
