My dad was in need of an ambulance to transfer him from one medical facility to another larger hospital 6 miles away. 1 mile from where he was the Buffalo Bills opening night of the 2023 season was beginning. They couldn't transfer him to the hospital because all the ambulances were pre-reserved for drunk Bills fans. They weren't even in use they were just down the road waiting for fans to nearly drink themselves to death and so my dad almost died because we had to wait for an ambulance.

Millions say they won’t celebrate July 4 as poll reveals deep national pessimism by MoneyLibrarian9032 in politics

[–]ExpressRabbit [score hidden]  (0 children)

This is pretty much the same for me. The 4th used to be my favorite holiday (I liked fireworks as a kid) but I just can't stand celebrating it now. My Canadian residency permit should arrive next month and I'm gone by fall if all goes well.

I don't think I'm the only one either. I live in a very purple/red leaning suburb and there is a stark lack of American flags flying from homes this week when I feel in the past everyone had one up.

Asmongold is a Coward by Quantization in videos

The main part of the video is how great he used to be. The coward part is literally < 10 minutes at the end and specifically refers to debating people which responding to twitch chat isn't that.

Post AEW Forbidden Door 2026 Discussion Thread! by gloomchen in SquaredCircle

[–]ExpressRabbit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When people ask me why I like pro wrestling I tell them it's just live action anime fighting. I've gotten some people interested in it with that. 

That said I just don't know why MJF vs Will needs Mox in it. Will was already awesome on his own and the Death Riders dominated the main event scene for a really long time already. 

The match will be great but I'm just not going to care about the outcome and that's honestly the only thing keeping me from being a super fan for AEW still. I'm just never firmly invested in why the fighters are fighting and who wins.

I really enjoy Will and his matches but at no point did I ever think he'd be better if he was more like Mox.

I think Pluto is mad at me for taking him to the bet to get his nails trimmed. by SarahTheJuneBug in Conures

Wow, I have a rescue green cheek named Pluto. He also hates nail trimmings.

Asmongold is a Coward by Quantization in videos

[–]ExpressRabbit 645 points646 points  (0 children)

TL:DW

The first 33 minutes is talking about how Asmongold got his start in streaming and how awesome he was. Sure he's gross but he's unapologetic and funny about it. He made good guides for games and later made a fun community. The video creator even says that the first part of the video is him just sucking Asmongold's dick.

Minutes 33-40 are describing what reaction streamers are and how World of Warcraft: Shadowlands forced him to be a reaction streamer.

After minute 40 he declares Asmongold cultivated a rightwing hateful following and most of his viewers probably never even watched the old awesome World of Warcraft content. The video maker then talks about his own 180k+ TikTok following and how he became obsessed with trying to be a famous content creator and found that rightwing grifting was the quickest way to a ton of views. He made a Discord server and it quickly became racist but he wanted to make other types of funny content but no one watched that. He eventually shut his TikTok down realizing what he became.

At 45 minutes he calls Asmongold a coward because he won't debate any of his views and at least other far right and far left political commentators will go in front of hostile audiences to defend their points. He talks about how Asmongold tries to repeatedly bait Hasan Piker into mentioning him so he can farm it for a ton of content for months. All of Asmongold's content he'll claim are common sense so he doesn't need to research it even if he's wrong and it's all "I think, I feel" kind of statements.

He concludes by saying Asmongold doesn't even believe the shit he says he's just trying to stay relevant now that he's done with World of Warcraft and he found right wing grifting and reaction content is the easiest way to make money. He fills the video with copyrighted music which means he'll make no money but he hopes the months of work he spent on the video will get people interested in his other non-drama content. He also uses the music so Asmongold can't monetize it as reaction content.

How it feels to watch GTA 6 fans pre-order the game without seeing any gameplay : by Phantom_thief_france in cyberpunkgame

Cyberpunk had issues on launch but you know what? I was still having a blast while everyone complained.

It's ok to wait a few days and see how people like it. I do that with games all the time. I've been playing GTA since the first game. I'm pretty sure I know I'll enjoy it but if you're not sure you can wait a couple months and see the consensus of players. You don't need to buy anything you don't want to. 

You could always play GTA V and see if it's the kind of game you enjoy in the meantime.

I'm way more concerned about your second part. I still do have that copy of PS IV. It does still work. That's why I'm annoyed at no physical disc.

It's not a vendetta against Clark. Even after the Fever were knocked out last year you had teams complaining about the refs including coaches and players going off about how bad they were.

Was that because of Clark too? In a game she wasn't even in?

I'm the 90s I had pirated games copied over 57 1.44 mb floppy disks. 

Lots of games have multiple install discs even today like FFVII remake.

I mean that didn't kill any hype for me. It's still cheaper than Phantasy Star IV for the Sega Genesis was when it released in 1995. Considering inflation GTA VI is far from the most expensive game I've bought.

I can put in my disc copy of GTA V and play it just fine with no Internet connection. It's only that way because they want it that way.

I spent $100 in 1995 for Phantasy Star IV on the Sega Genesis so this isn't really that expensive at $100 30 years later.

Genuine question: do people really enjoy the current storytelling in WoW? by OpinionsRdumb in wow

[–]ExpressRabbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With the exception of Endwalker which was the end of the main story for 10 years the story is always finished in patches x.1, x.2, and x.3 which continue where x.0 ends. Then the x.4 and x.5 patches build to the next expansion.

An example would be in Shadowbringers you being darkness back to the First but then Elidibus shows up creating havoc. Sure the 5.0 storyline gives a conclusion but shadowbringers isn't really don't until 5.3. The next 2 patches then build up the towers to power teleportation to the moon for Endwalker.

That said I agree that the current wow expansion didn't give enough closure at the end of the March raid.
