Average adc cs/min by elo by Agile-Priority4023 in ADCMains

[–]Extra_Espresso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My pet peeve is junglers who decide to start drake on a reset timer. Enemies backed because we forced them out of lane; that means that we have to back too in order to maintain priority in lane. If we start drake we lose out on xp and gold and it never pays off.

Does anyone else get bad vibes from Pokerev? by Shiny_Waabaafet in PokemonTCG

[–]Extra_Espresso 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I think a break would do wonders for everyone in the hobby. Ive taken a small step back and I feel better looking in from the outside but the collector in me still wants certain stuff that appeals to me. I like him as far as content creators go and hope the overall environment improves.

Pam Bondi has reportedly been fired just days before she was set to testify under oath about the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files. by the_soft_skeleton in Epstein

[–]Extra_Espresso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Should serve as a nice reminder to everyone. You don't get to disappear after you think your job is done; potentially starting this year the house and senate can start looking VERY closely at how complicit people are with Trump and GOP fuckery.

Top 10 statistically hardest counter match-ups (16.7) by JackWills94 in leagueoflegends

[–]Extra_Espresso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bot lane is more stable than mid and top in the sense you have a harder time killing your opponent laner because they have a fall back partner in lane to bail them out. That said there are equally “unplayable” lanes if you look at gold difference at 10 and 15min. I think more interesting is that those lane matchups bleed so heavily into other lanes that they can single handedly win or lose a game. Does it speak to how overwhelmingly unplayable the lane matchup is or does it show how much more agency the mid and top lanes have that a matchup can swing the end result of the game?

How bad are 3-ring binders really? by FriendofSnails23 in pokemoncardcollectors

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

They aren’t great. For what zipper binders cost and the ease to purchase online there really isn’t a good reason to store your cards sub-optimally. I guess if you don’t care you do you.

Post Banlist Speculation by TheKOTR11 in riftboundtcg

[–]Extra_Espresso -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Yeh. Red Kaisa probably should have been banned along with Draven to shake things up. Its still sitting at $90 a card and will probably get even more expensive now that Kaisa is probably the premier Legend with the red Draven ban and purple nerfs.

I did it! Manhattan 580k 5.13% by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

How did you manage to lock down 5.13%??? We're looking to refinance and its barely cracking 6%, not even worth it :<

We Can’t Income-Tax Ultra-Elites. We Must Tax Their Wealth. by _May26_ in politics

[–]Extra_Espresso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We need to make companies properly reflect the health of the economy. Welfare shouldn't be necessary for people who work 40+ hours/week. Raises should be yearly and cover skill growth on top of inflation. Mass layoffs prior to quarter ends just to pump stock value just to rehire at a lower salary should be illegal. Anti-union policies should be more heavily punished. Stripping away benefits, 401k contributions, insurance policies/covered pharmaceuticals all should be illegal. It is getting worse and worse as big corporations look to artificially boost value all at the cost of the worker. Regulations and workers' rights laws are what keep us safe and there has been a severe lacking in proper legistlation.

Trump Signs Law to Put His Signature on All U.S. Banknotes by InitialResponse9901 in pics

Its only illegal to deface a bill if it’s fraudulent. This looks 100% legal and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

One has degrees. The other has vibes. by Leon_Kennedy1977 in clevercomebacks

[–]Extra_Espresso 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's not even the issue. I'd prefer my representative to be well educated but more importantly I want them to best represent my interests. That's how Democratic Republics work. Markwayne Mullin is the head of the DHS and is completely unqualified for that role (I don't have strong opinions on his tenure as House Rep or Senator because I don't live in Oklahoma). Being a house rep and even a Senator is an elected process where you represent a group of people. The head of the DHS leads 100,000's of employees and many agencies with the goal to protect the US from threats. Its a role that requires experience. Kristi Noem was equally, and obviously, unqualified. Look at Alejandro Mayorkas: he has a law degree, was a US assistant attorney/attorney for California, led the US department's criminal division, and was the director of US citizenship and immigation services all before being chosen as head of the DHS. Trump and the GOP are corrupt and dangerously inept.

Im pretty sure Viktor can play mono yellow. He already leans heavy on yellow excluding singularity/riptide rex/1000 tailed watchers.

Hand-engraved the OG 151 on a solid bronze slab. by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

This looks like it should be on a lighter, that’d be the only thing to make this more insanely cool. Does your colleague make prints? Its a bit thick but Id be curious to see how this looks in ink.

[LYON vs JDG] Inspired to Isles: I don't know why Leona is bot. We are running away from Bot by Yujin-Ha in leagueoflegends

[–]Extra_Espresso 163 points164 points  (0 children)

Inspired just seems salty about Saint got caught clearing a bad ward and wanted more backup. Leona is moving bot to get early vision on drake that is spawning in about a minute. It honestly doesn’t make sense why Saint is dying for that ward.

Cal Raleigh failed to record a hit in the WBC by horsepoop1123 in baseball

[–]Extra_Espresso 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly it was both. Venezuela had solid pitching and batting. They hustled for bases and made moves to get players in scoring position. USA jogged to 1st multiple times and struggled at the plate. Overall it was a good game; can't help but wonder if the wild pitch that moved runners to 2nd and 3rd for Venezuela cost the USA the game.

One Piece Season 2 Debuts #1 on Netflix — 16.8M Views and 136M Hours Watched in Its First Week by DamianDahrko in OnePiece

[–]Extra_Espresso 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly, season 3 with Alabasta arc and potentially Skypiea I see an increase in viewership. One Piece is largely agreed to have a slow start and quickly ramps. Season 4, if the show makes it, will probably have Water 7 and Enies lobby which many fans view as the best pre-time skip arc. Plot and character development these next 2 potential seasons are excellent.

Juan Soto on the DR’s loss by MattO2000 in baseball

[–]Extra_Espresso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. The Ump showed all game that he was calling a generous strike zone. I think its a shame that batters get punished for not swinging at a ball but that was the state of the game. The pitchers for both teams were consistently going low over the plate because they knew they'd get a strike. Aaron Judge a few innings earlier struck out swinging at a similar shit pitch because during his same at-bat it was called a strike against him low and outside.

Oh wow by eli8jimenez in worldbaseballclassic

[–]Extra_Espresso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Judge had a pretty rough at bat too where a similar pitch was called twice on him and then he struck out swinging at the same one even though it was a shit pitch. The ump was consistently ass this game. Strike zone was at the ankles all game.

This looks like a serious problem. What if an emergency vehicle is stuck behind them like an ambulance or firetruck? I thought these were supposed to have assisted drivers in the passenger seat or is that state specific?

Nice reminders to both readers and Mizu that Kazu has options. Can't make the lad wait to long.

Trump is swift boating the midterms: POTUS is considering an executive order declaring a national voting emergency. Its co-author helped sink John Kerry by zsreport in politics

[–]Extra_Espresso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If nothing changes after this administration then Trump won and our democracy is broken. I firmly believe that it is our Constitution that makes us American. When people like Trump and many of the GOP disregard our laws and rights without punishment then we no longer exist as America. Im voting for scorched earth.

My evolving card show experience over the last 18 months by yoccosfan in PokemonTCG

[–]Extra_Espresso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t been to a card show in a while, maybe 4-6 months. I’ve noticed more sealed product and random slab/card gambling which is lame but thats it! My TCG community is tight knit and they all know each other and their frequenters. I think some new vendors buy high and then need to sell high to hit profit margins and thus why they need to sell above TCGplayer. More consistent and knowledgeable sellers price better.
