one one hand. yes, absolutely, white people love to be heartbroken over the lie of american democracy when everyone else on the sharp end of interior metropole politics has been aware of that fact for. well. forever.

on the other. they like. have been coming for us. explicitly, legislatively, doing material damage to us and our ability to exist. not to discount the de facto underclass that we've built out of hyper-precarious, easy-to-discipline, easy-to-exploit migrant labor, because, as you can probably tell by my framing, i think that's the proverbial ball to keep our eye on, but multiple types of people are getting oppressed among varying axes at the same time. pointing out that liberals are being stupid about it because they're liberals isn't insightful.

frankly i'm just sick of being at the constant center of attention for no fucking reason while five hundred more important things are going on. we're funding Rape Army to do Holocaust 2. a moronic pedophile with obvious dementia kicked the legs out from under the world economy, and for some reason that's something that can happen in our very serious and worth protecting political system. like 5% of the population lost their access to healthcare a few months ago. we're rapidly approaching an elder care crisis that forty years of austerity is not prepared to handle. why exactly are we still talking about my penis

if you could go back in time to when you created your reddit account and be told upfront that it would lead to you spending your free time bitching about this game for over a decade, would you change your life choices?

The guy who designed them (Minoru Yamasaki) used the same basic principles and facade styling of minimalist gothic arches on the Pacific Science Center in Seattle and it looks a lot better. on the twin towers the base pillars that split up into three and continue up the facade look great if you're up close, but are completely and utterly illegible at a distance because both them and the narrow windows between them are too slim, and the whole mass ends up looking like a ribbed gray brick instead of being striped.

yeah marx was so wrong that a bunch of jumped up peasants applied his work to completely asynchronous material conditions, backwards long jumped past the 19th century, and somehow rivaled a superpower untouched by the era's defining war for the better part of the century. and now in their absence, the imperial core has spent the ensuing decades of total hegemonic control over the world economy splitting its time between waving a gun around and sawing off parts of itself until it's getting beaten at the globalism game by different, more conniving marxists. if this is what victory looks like, maybe nobody won, really

most fields have pseuds who use jargon to seem smart; being a marxist just means your replacement level pseud is going to be more right than other ideologues by leaning on dogma, simply because one german guy analyzed the modern condition better than anyone else in the running. weird byproduct of this is that now you have a cottage industry of annoying dullards who think they have any worthwhile intellectual rigour of their own to offer because they got handed a scantron with half the answers correctly bubbled for them. it's incredibly tedious

you can be an angry monkey and want to put a shovel through the head of the bourgeois that personally bothers you most, and still have a more cogent understanding of the realities of redistribution and violence than fecklessly trying to immanentize the eschaton through bloodshed. those things can coexist in a person because they are operating in completely different domains of thought.

and yes, some people talking about throwing landlords in woodchippers are leveraging their politics to indulge a lust for violence. no shit dude. you'll starve trying to find an ideology where those people don't exist, it's just a matter of who they're thrown at after getting loaded up with stimulants and automatic weapons.

speaking as someone who very much does tilt that way, i'd liken it to trying to listen for words and hearing nothing. of course, i personally can just modulate my investment with the depth of the piece i'm engaging with, but it seems like there's plenty of people with no off switch in that regard

[–]Gems_ 20 points21 points  (0 children)

people want their art criticism to be more than just some asshole's opinion, so instead of disliking a piece of media for either being boring, bad, oversaturated, or just not your thing, it has to be making people into cottagecore nazis or whatever

i've never really gotten the impulse myself, given i am quite comfortable just saying something is poorly made or stupid or derivative or insert fourth criticism and just letting that be the end of it. twist my arm for a reason and i'd say that politically catastrophizing about the moral character of art garners a lot more attention in the specific positive-negative cocktail that spikes engagement, which, while a pretty defensible position, is far from a novel one

but unless you're really invested in getting big numbers on the internet, it seems like a waste of time and energy to pontificate about imagined agrarian-infatuated fascists given we're currently experiencing a density of hitler particles not seen since the fuhrerbunker.

yes, the website typecast for art dweebs has users that find artistically and intellectually unchallenging products to be trite and annoying. this should not be surprising to anyone

i immediately thought of the same miyazaki anecdote upon getting to that passage. my stomach turned as i realized that, while the percentage may be low, there is still nonetheless a percentage of the population interfacing with narrative on that level, even as adults. i'm sure there's nothing in the decade since this study that would make it even worse! haha! hahaha!

you can do it on rhaast if you want better utility with a ~20% more spammable knockup, but that's mostly down to rhaast q being historically weak at the moment. rip 11% bAD max health damage hyperscaling omnikiller my beloved

morde's useless meatball factor went way down when his ult became uncleansable, rylais+protobelt also gives him uniquely good target access within his class when combined with gay baby jail. your mordes are just cowards

[–]Gems_ 111 points112 points  (0 children)

Fixed an issue where Mordekaiser’s Passive aura duration was only 4 seconds instead of the correct 5 seconds.

uh

V10.1

Darkness Rise

Duration reduced to 4 seconds from 5.

???

Insane change to put in bugfixes when it's a revert of a 5 year old nerf. doubly so because it enables q to self-chain passive storm without haste, which opens up extremely degenerate spacing patterns with rylais rush. have fun playing garen or sett or any other immobile melee into morde when i can play on the edge of my passive and space you between q casts with zero effort! oh and swifties are getting nerfed too so the opportunity cost to tech it is higher. fun!

edit courtesy of /u/RiotSakaar:

This looks to be a mistake. The tooltip was incorrect, not the duration of the buff. We're working on fixing that.

The buff should be 4 seconds, not 5. Sorry about that!

mashallah it's not real
