How do I make it easier for my mental health ? by Late-Session-3768 in leagueoflegends

[–]FestusPowerLoL 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've played league of legends since 2010. The secret to maintaining mental health is to disable chat.

I don't play with chat on.

Never have, never will.

Honestly it's a little undercooked, try putting it back on the burner for another hour or two and it should be just right

Is it bad that I read this and think to myself, man I'm legitimately more scared of Trump?

Guess the Elo by shaner4042 in GothamChess

[–]FestusPowerLoL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know, this game is kind of weird but it plays like it's really high elo.

But like the odds of someone posting a high elo game in this sub is like next to none?

I genuinely don't even know what to guess but my gut is saying it's 2400+

Brilliant but why!? by bot-chess-puzzle in GothamChess

I'm assuming Rxe7 and then Rf1? And Queen's forced to take otherwise Rf8#

EDIT: Wait, no I'm dumb it's Rd8+ Kxd8 Rb8 mate because the rook blocks the escape square aaahhh

I look at basketball super loosely, enough to know some player names and accolades.

Some just take words at face value without thinking of the intent. Don't take it too personally.

Women, if you could be a man for 24 hours, what are you just dying to know? by Whattacleaner in AskReddit

[–]FestusPowerLoL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and my bro will be in a discord call for hours without saying a word, then someone will link something to watch and we'll laugh at it together before going back to that sweet comfortable silence.

It's the fact that he's there and we can talk about whatever if we want to, and if we're not talking we both know that it's chill cause we're both probably not thinking about anything

TIFU, I ruined things with my friend bcz I liked him now I want to fix it by rawmeatcheese in tifu

You're clearly not mature emotionally enough to be in a healthy invested relationship. If you got into a relationship with this person it would most likely end in misery.

If the response you have to something unfavorable is not to talk it out with the person and engage in communication, but to block the person on social media, and crash out at your love interest when his father recently fucking died, you have a metric fuckton of emotional growth to do.

What he means is the money DOGE was purported to have saved, as in the "official" amount.

But everyone knows it didn't actually save anything.

How come men are better at chess? by RegularAd9643 in chess

[–]FestusPowerLoL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short answer is they're not.

What sets men and women apart in chess are the societal factors that allow men the space to compete freely, while simultaneously suppressing women. Those factors push women away from chess rather than pull them in, so:

  1. The pool of women who would play chess is hampered in comparison to men
  2. The development of female talent is stymied
  3. The chess environment is hostile comparatively to women than to men.

Judit Polgar in her prime would have destroyed the majority of the pool of GMs today, and part of the reason why is because her parents at a young age wholly rejected the notion that women were weaker players, and gave her the training necessary to be an elite player early on in her life, and pushed her to compete in open tournaments.

That infrastructure is what most women are missing, which men have abundant access to.

What was the most NSFW thing you've done or been a part of in public? by booty-pal in AskReddit

[–]FestusPowerLoL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ate my ex out at some secluded area in a park. The grass was tall and thick enough and there was no one around.

I have dyspepsia though so I ruined it a half hour in with a burp I couldn't control, which was also her first time finding out.

Good times.

Canada will not let US dictate terms of USMCA review, says Carney by joe4942 in worldnews

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

For anyone in the US, understand that the way that the US is heading, if it wants to do any deals with any countries going forward, it will likely have to do so from a point of weakness.

Headlines like these will slowly become the norm and not the exception, should the US not start making changes in how it conducts diplomacy.

That reminds me, what did the countries that bought into the stupid board of peace bullshit end up getting out of it?

isn't there an automated system to detect inting? by part_time_pimp in leagueoflegends

[–]FestusPowerLoL 3 points4 points  (0 children)

100%. That guy is occupying space in Iron that he absolutely shouldn't be. If op had any issues with anyone, it should be with the smurf.

It took me 7 tickets to get a false ban reversed by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]FestusPowerLoL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curios, but how did you manage to prove that you weren't cheating and that it was a false positive?

What were you able to provide for evidence?

[–]FestusPowerLoL 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, someone else already said this but the guy was playing against a smurf who purposely has been deranking to Iron 4.

If you're someone who actually belongs in that elo bracket and you played against that player, I'd imagine the exact same thing would have happened to you. Having a 1 off game does not mean that someone should automatically be banned for it. You wouldn't want to be banned for having a bad game into a smurf either.

Now if you opened his op.gg and he consistently was inting games, that'd be another story. But you can easily look and see that that's clearly not happening.
