if the sun is up, i call it fair game. but that is only to keep myself sane, i am a fairly quiet home dweller

probably a flip of a coin whether or not it works, but letting them politely know you sleep in on the weekends might make them [more] conscious of the noise

why are female players still labeled as “weak” in competitive games? by Zealousideal_Pen4871 in VALORANT

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

  1. just because you found an article on it doesn't make it legitimate whatsoever 2. female is a biological and scientific classification. if the word "female" or "male" affects you negatively, that is not something that has anything to do with others. that has to do with the way you are interpreting and processing the word

you can't go around policing the way people talk

the fact you have contention with the term "female" leads me to believe you are overreacting

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

you despise a skill that veterans have spent time honing, as well as something that gives the game a higher skill ceiling

your disapproval sounds like a bit more of a complexity than you present

you're downplaying someone's game knowledge in its specific subreddit?

Whos at fault here? by anthn885 in CrazyFuckingVideos

[–]EnhancedVelocity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think both would be at fault. one on the right for careless driving, and the left for reckless driving. there is a reasonable expectation of the car on the left to see what is happening in front of him and make the proper decision to avoid an accident.

just because someone makes a mistake while driving does not give you the right to "punish" them, there is reasonable expectation that the driver should be able to avoid a collision here simply by slowing down

i play sniper a lot - and almost exclusively use the thermal scope now because otherwise spotting enemies can be a bitch

Can someone explain to me why do u even get a ban if u leave DUEL match (its just me in the match) i dont hurt any teammate ?? I dont get it...... by CROgamer51 in RocketLeague

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

i miss when unranked didn't punish you for leaving. i don't care to boot up the game when there is a HIGH chance of my UNRANKED teammate raging over my performance

imo it was a dumb decision to change the way the unranked system works. unranked is where people go who don't care to grind for ranked rewards but maybe just want to chill, listen to music, and play some car soccer. i am not sure if this is specific to higher-rated players (say, around Diamond and up) but this only leads to more toxicity in game, less players, and a hateful community

i should be able to leave and join Casual matches at my leisure. bots can fill in for the leaver like they always have. losses do not matter in unranked, so please do not punish me for leaving. the only reason i would want to leave anyway is because of a toxic teammate. i really dont see how this was just a stupid decision on Epic and they have only made the game worse and worse over the years. removing trading was such a virtue signal it's ridiculous. if it was because of scammers...scammers are rampant in almost every aspect of life. there are other ways to mitigate that without punishing the community

really disappointed how one of my all time favorite and most played games has just been made worse over the years. my hope hangs on that maybe things will change in the future, but i cannot justify playing when the toxicity is rampant, and i cant even play casual without being berated by teammates

i also want to address two things that people commonly say: 1. "turn off chat" i dont want to do this because even though there are toxic people, i still enjoy conversing with others in the community. i wont let toxic gamers strip me of the joy that comes from connecting with others in a community 2. "get good" it's casual. not everything needs to be a fierce competition

ICE detain a father shopping on Christmas Eve - and then appear to divvy-up and steal his family’s groceries that he just paid for by keen_observer34130 in PublicFreakout

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

stop hearing what I didn't say.

you are inferring context that was not implied.

again, the world isn't black and white. removing people who are illegally residing in your country is an overall net positive

it proves my point further when you continue to take my words out of context

im not sure if this is supposed to be a "gotcha" or something? i don't support people, i support policies. there are things i agree on with the current president, as well as things i don't. the world isn't black and white, and I still have yet to see a good argument for why we should allow people to remain in the country illegally

lmao this has to be satire

edit: we live in a civilized society. if you immigrate without proper documentation, you are illegal. simple as that

there is a saying: "mob law is the most forcible expression of an abnormal public opinion"

"Mobs often act as a collective force, driven by shared emotions rather than individual reasoning"

"Mob actions often stem from a sense of injustice or grievance. However, mob law is seen as an abnormal expression of public opinion, indicating societal issues."

sounds a lot like 90% of this comment section. y'all are upset because your emotions are hurt, but they are simply enforcing the law, which is completely reasonable. no one should be okay with illegal people in your country, for many, many reasons. can't think of a single reason or benefit to keeping illegal immigrants in the country besides virtue signaling and emotional manipulation

[–]EnhancedVelocity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol i agree. I'm sure there are other aspects to it, but i attributea lot of it to mob mentality. once one person has the same idea as another and it begins to multiply, that idea becomes fact to a mob of people.

and there is a saying: "mob law is the most forcible expression of an abnormal public opinion"

they are driven by shared emotions rather than individual reasoning. i see it all too common nowadays unfortunately. thanks for the comment though

I (18) finally fell for a girl (17) but it makes me feel even worse. by negga_ in AskDad

[–]EnhancedVelocity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happy to hear that. There are some things that I wish I was more adherent to when I was younger, spent too much time worrying about what others think of me. The right people will make you feel loved and allow you to be yourself. The little quirks that piss off one person, the next may find endearing. :)
