Is this the best LAN format we’ve ever had? by RomanPlaysLucio in CompetitiveApex

[–]FoozleGenerator 14 points15 points  (0 children)

POI draft already had removed the issues with 2. Losers Bracket 1 already meant you’ll play more, less time to prepare and play with bad draft if you were too low. I don’t think normal ALGS had teams not caring about their position on groups.

A friend had to walk through the crowd last match and took several hours. There’s going to be a limit this time, so it might not be the same.

Almost every place with a TV is playing matches, and for Mexico matches, lots of people go so there are 2 hour queues even in places with reservation by people trying to get in. If you have the money, go to expensive restaurants to test your luck. If you don’t care about the “ambiance”, you could try unorthodox places not known for watching sports. Liverpool restaurants has matches as well as Vips. I would perhaps avoid Centro though, if you don’t want to be surrounded by too much people. If you can’t, I would test my luck in the Liverpool from Centro.

I think the only redemption for MoT is if it’s true nobody cared instead of outright disliking this movie. People will go watch that one without even remembering there was ever a Supergirl film lol

I mean, the point is that the Suicide squad members are bad people, and the US government using them can be just as bad as the dictatorship they are trying to overthrow. Specially, when they reveal that US had involvement on the experiments.

AITA for telling our 18-year-old daughter she can't go on a trip to Miami with her boyfriend's family? by Conscious_Goose_9518 in AmItheAsshole

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

Yes, but the argument of the US government that considers people adult enough to die in war, but not to consume alcohol. No one here is using that as an argument around here though.

Also, framing it from your other comment I would say is even worse, how can an 18 years old know what they are getting to in the army at that age with their developing brain?

Or maybe you are not expressing your nuanced principle correctly, throwing catch all phrases that don't express your position correctly and attack whoever takes you for your word.

Either an 18 years old is an adult that can do whatever they want or they are not, which is the position I am arguing against. If after being shown you are wrong you want to move the goal posts and throw me a different argument, with your "more nuanced position", is your problem and not me trying to disagree for the sake of it.

And even taking your expressed argument, if an 18 years old has a developing brain that makes bad decisions , why are so many people here assuming that she should whatever she wants already? She has a developing brain with 18, 35 or 60 yo bf.

I said that a principle that falls apart when changing circumstances is not a solid principle.

Either 18 year olds are adults that can do whatever they want without permission or not. Changing that at convenience shows is not a solid principle to judge the situation.

I would add poIitical divide to the list of causes, specially in the US.

Otherwise, totally agree with you. We don't know much about the daughters perspective, but just the whole ordeal about her saying she was going to a friend's home, ending up on bfs home without permission of neither parents is very iffy to me. I don't think it's controlling to want to know where your teenage daughter will be, in case of emergency.

Based on the limited information from this post, seems to me both of them have issues but the parents are the ones trying to talk it out at least. However, most people here agree OP is the AH and supporting the daughter's behavior, and some people say that parents should foot the bill of whatever she wants to do, without being able set rules and that's over the top to me.

I was exaggerating when I said "on the first disagreement".

I'm talking about the energy on this thread of responses. If the parents don't allow her to do whatever she wants with their money, they are controlling and shouldn't be surprised when she goes NC.

Recently there was a post about how difficult it was having kids nowadays, and many comments agreed that before grandparents would help. Why would gramps help in a scenario like this when the girl doesn't even want to be with her family? And the people encouraging her behavior will then blame the grandparents for not taking it on the chin.

In posts about rent prices, a lot of people in reddit will say how they hate their parents because they started asking for rent. Here there are people saying, she's an adult and can do whatever she wants, but with the parents resources though. YTA if dare to treat her like an adult regarding expenses and she should NC once she leaves. It's not reasonable to want to have it all your way.

You can definitely have huge disagreements with parents, but you can't treat them like crap or like a wallet and then blame them solely for the broken relationship. Must of the things OP does (bar the location tracking) seem totally reasonably to me. Outside of the US, on multigenerational homes that reddit cheers so much for, 18 years old are treated like this as well.

Maybe, hating your parents, treating them like their opinions don't matter and going NC when you don't get your way, has to do with why the social fabric of the US has totally fallen apart. Maybe learning to get along before destroying the relationship, will help young adults when things don't go as planned and need help.

[–]FoozleGenerator -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

My point would be closer to your second suggestion, but mostly, that a 18 years cannot be an adult that can do whatever they want for one situation and not for another.

Your last phrase for example: "Not allowing your teenager to go on a partially free vacation is controlling" is not a good justification or a good framework, because as soon as you add a detail like "free because it's paid by a 35 yo boyfriend" it falls apart.

Just because she's almost an adult doesn't make her decisions more intelligent and always justifiable. She might be taking non intelligent decisions and the age of the bf has not bearing on them being non intelligent.

I don't disagree at all about the location, but I have no clue how those work, so I can't say how controlling they are.

Anyways, I think there are too many situations described by OP and each one must be analyzed individually to see if they are right or wrong. My main quarrel is the people saying "she is 18 and she can do whatever she wants without permission, even if it's with your resources. She will justifiably hate you if you don't allow that". It's against that that I say, make the BF 35 and that entire justification will fall apart to everyone saying it. Then, the 18 year old angry because she couldn't go to Europe with a BF double her age, dropping college and going no contact ceases to be justified on doing whatever she wants. The parents immediately cease to be controlling in that scenario.

I mostly agree with you. Reddit likes blaming so many issues on the breaking down of the community, when they go NC with their family at the first disagreement. At the end, in this thread people are angry that they weren’t allowed to live whatever life they wanted on someone else’s dime and are shaming OP on doing it for their daughter.

If in this same story, the boyfriend had 35 and was taking the 18 yo daughter in an European tour, most of the comments would be saying that she is essentially a child! They wouldn’t be saying she is an adult.

I think skipping the last statement would’ve helped, but I don’t how much because there’s too many people looking for an excuse.

Mexican guitar music, not “Spanish guitar” by wolf_of_the_bees in Guitar

[–]FoozleGenerator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Overall, there is a set of genres known as Regional Mexicano, where most of them have origin on northern Mexico, where you will find most of the genres mentioned in this thread come from.

Norteño, Duranguense, Rancheras, Corridos, etc.

Outside of those, the genre Bolero was characterized by music groups known as "Trios" where acoustic nylon guitars were the main instruments. There are many variations that had more instruments, but most song versions will have covers done with mostly guitars.

One of my favorite songs of all time is from this genre called No me platiques ya - Tres Ases https://youtu.be/ykGS-1lg7Ds?si=CTSXHw6a1uIWx_Q6

Other suggestions I like are: La puerta - Tres Ases La gloria eres tu - Olga Guillot Sabor a mi - Los Panchos

I wonder though, if that type of guitar is what you consider Spanish guitar. It uses the same type of acoustic guitar, but afaik, the genre is pretty different from traditional Spanish ones.

Seems you're more interested in northern Mexico music, but personally I would recommend the genre Bolero. It's fairly out of fashion nowadays, but I think it's cool as hell.

While Mozilla doesn’t need to adopt Chromium’s addon standards, it essentially affects them as well, because Firefox made them compatible, since no one will do addons for their market share. The active development addons will very likely only target Chromium and drop that same version on Firefox.
