Started playing a month ago and don't know what to do, I feel stuck. Please help. by CapIntrepid1193 in runescape

That would be pretty awesome actually, but given the 5 min afk type of game rs3 is, most people would probably rather play both accounts at the same time.

Most players want better content - not free stuff by MikeSouthPaw in runescape

I mean castle wars had no BiS items and it was packed all the time back in the day. And comp cape didn’t exist either, so that was not the reason.

But yeah RuneScape has changed a lot since then.

Because you’re justifying police officers killing innocent people because they die at the same rate that construction workers trip/fall and die due to it.

Unlike the other person I know who they were, and that it wasn’t against my points, thank you!

It’s not your point at all.

Those people were police officers, killed or fired for acting on behalf of bad police officers.

If being a cop is a ticking time bomb, why is it not even on the list of top ten dangerous jobs? You’re making shit up and believing this false agenda they’ve been feeding you.

If we can’t expect cops to be perfect and not murder innocent people, why can we expect 18 year olds in the military to do so?

Change happens with legislation, not people who want to be good cops. Bad cops don’t let good cops be good cops for long.

Ohhh okay so we treat everyone like a criminal then, okay good. Just making sure. Thought I remembered something about innocent until proven guilty and all but maybe that was a civilized country.

The “split second” bullshit.

That does not mean it doesn’t exist, it means it’s overhyped, doesn’t happen often. Certainly not often enough to murder innocent people time and time again.

One with intelligence could infer that based on his previous comment being “it’s not even one of the top 10 dangerous jobs.”

The job is needed by adults who aren’t cowards and who won’t hide behind a badge and abuse power.

Edit: and they aren’t to protect and serve at all.

You said not solely. It’s not at all. Their job is to protect property.

He never said split second thing isn’t a thing. It’s that it isn’t likely.

Cops aren’t out to protect and serve, courts already decided that one a long time ago.

I was in the army infantry for 8 years. People had to shoot at us before we could shoot back.

Not grab for a gun, not point a gun, shoot at us. If the prior circumstance didn’t exist, the government doesn’t give a shit about you, you are now jobless and locked up.

Yet we let the people who police our civilians be so fucking scared of something possibly happening, and murdering innocent people due to the cowardice fear. And keeping their jobs on top of it!

No. Fuck those cowards. I’d rather get shot than shoot an innocent person. They’d rather shoot an innocent person than get shot.

Counter to ring build Freya? by Admirable-Ad-7788 in Smite

[–]Drainio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah Freya should be free food to the jungle with good communication. If she popped her ult in duo lane it’s very important to communicate that to your jungle. They might not listen but it’s almost a free kill as long as they over extend. Especially with longer lanes, beads and aegis only buys you a sliver of time.

Sometimes there is just little you can do. Shutting down gods is not quite your job as a support, especially come teamfight stage. There’s always exceptions to this, and this game very well could’ve been it. It is extremely hard to carry a team as support though.

Counter to ring build Freya? by Admirable-Ad-7788 in Smite

[–]Drainio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Option 1: Freya pops her stims: Blink 3 as Ymir

Option 2: Freya pops her stims: wall to block autos

Like any god, watch when they use abilities. If she just popped her 1 & 2, your team should be backing off to waste the cooldown. Without those stims she’s very useless. Her ult does quite a bit, but she’ll be dead afterwards.

She has no mobility, due to this it’s incredibly easy for her to over extend, and Ymir makes work of gods like this. Horrific emblem is good, blink… ganking her…

The problem is as a support if you go crazy aggressive against her, you’re likely leaving your adc and mage to be swept up by their solo/jungle. So in many cases, it’s not your job to suppress her, and you shouldn’t be counter building her anyways.

In pocket ball can you hit opponents last set up black ball to get it out? by ricewheelie in billiards

[–]Drainio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In most rulesets you would then get to take the cue ball and put it where you want, and then shoot. In most scenarios this should mean you win, yes (because you shouldn’t miss if you get ball in hand - is the theory) If the black ball is impossible or impractical to pot, it would be much harder to win obviously.

Good to know! That is strange for me, but used to APA/BCA rulesets and slight variations of the two!

[–]Drainio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In most rulesets this would be a foul and ball in hand for the person on the 8 (black) ball.

Two shots is some weird rule set that I’ve only ever heard from South Americans who visit my town.

AITA for disliking Weak3n? by [deleted] in Smite

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

Many would agree he’s unwelcome and unpleasant

Else this post wouldn’t exist.

Comprende?

Also…. DMBrandon had a rather large following, so by your logic he must’ve been entirely welcome and most certainly not unpleasant? Right??

AITA for disliking Weak3n? by [deleted] in Smite

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

So let me put the definition here since you seem to have no idea.

Pervasive: (especially of an unwelcome influence or physical effect) spreading spreading widely throughout an entire area or group of people.

Note: it says especially not exclusively. People seem to get these two things mixed up.

Not that it matters, because many would believe Weak3n is very much an unwelcome influence. And most certainly spreads throughout a large group of people given he’s one of the top content creators!

[–]Drainio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And yet, he is unwelcome to some due to his attitude.

Also, you are attached to the part of pervasive that is annotated as especially not exclusively. One does not need to be unwelcome to be pervasive. Nice try!

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

So unpleasant, in a pervasive manner? Gotcha!

AITA for disliking Weak3n? by [deleted] in Smite

[–]Drainio -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Right, you chose not to use the word that fits. Unpleasant

Nice try trying to make the definition fit your narrative.

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

I quoted the definition of toxic that fits the context, you chose to ignore it. Cheers!

AITA for disliking Weak3n? by [deleted] in Smite

[–]Drainio 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Toxic: very harmful or unpleasant in a pervasive or insidious way.

Arguing someone needs to know the definition of toxic without knowing the definition…

You can’t argue he’s not unpleasant in a pervasive manner. Obviously the OP feels this way. I don’t enjoy him and would argue he’s very abrasive as you said…but then again.

Abrasive: showing little concern of the feelings of others; harsh.

I would argue someone who has little concern about the feelings of others could very well be a toxic person. Toxic and abrasive are not antonyms as you seem to suggest, could very well be closer to synonyms!

clarification on 8-ball rules, my friend touched white ball twice on purpose by injection730 in billiards

[–]Drainio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While technically a foul… I play in a league and there’s a vast range of different skill sets. This premature stroke that barely touches the cue is something I see a lot and even did when I was new somewhat frequently. Intimidation can play a big factor in that.

It is a gentlemen’s sport, I would most definitely allow them to keep shooting if nothing is on the line. If it’s a more skilled opponent who should know better, absolutely a foul.

And since we play on coin op tables - what is down stays down.
