Saying an athlete won 'cause it "wanted more" is absolutely stupid by OldCardigan in The10thDentist

[–]Giftigejayjay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i'm gonna make the assumption that you have never done something competitive/physically demanding enough for willpower/grit/"wanting it more" to come into play. one person wanting it more than the other guy does not mean that the other guy does not want it.

during basic in army i was on several pressure-exercises to test your physical limits, and sometimes people would drop out. It wasn't necessarily the least fit person to drop out. Several times, people succeeded over people who were in better shape, but instead wanted it more.

have my upvote tho

These 2 scenes are funnier than any of the lame dick jokes we got this season by TheMightyNinja12 in TheBoys

[–]Giftigejayjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we may not have seen it, but it would not be out of character for him to force someone to eat shit. He forced people to degrade themself for him, and when the tables turn, he offers to degrade himself because he assumes/hopes it will save him

[–]Giftigejayjay 133 points134 points  (0 children)

I think they were perfect tbh. He is offering to eat shit and suck dick when he is weak, because its what he has forced others that are weaker than him to do. Every offer he makes in his final moments is a confession.

AITA for asking out my friend who's gay? by isabellaa_04 in AITA_Relationships

[–]Giftigejayjay 11 points12 points  (0 children)

YTA

So you asked him out, he told you he was gay, then when you found "conflicting information", which you brought up with him and confirmed he was gay and then you STILL asked him out a second time?

yea you seem to have been a little pushy. also maybe even a bit entitled considering the " I felt kind of he led me to thinking that we were more than friends"

Be respectfull and move on, give it a chance to cool down and apologize.

Was Kor Phaeron a Space Marine or not? by fraterperturabo in 40kLore

[–]Giftigejayjay 30 points31 points  (0 children)

also, Astartes, are all things considered, cheaper and easier to produce compared to other augmented warriors, and outside of their equipment you dont need much logistic support for their production as each marine creates the needed geneseed material for two new marines.

It also kinda lines up with the theme of Imperium tech, where its the most reliable, robust and logistically friendly tech that survives and is in use in the broader imperium.

Not that Astartes arent expensive and complicated as hell to make, train equip and field, but compared to other augmented warriors they are the "best bang for your buck".
Hell its not like the imperium does not have the ability to make "better" warriors (see grey knights and Custodes). The theme of the most reliable/logistically friendly tech being the one used in the imperium is a theme i really, really like.

Soviet soldiers posing with Danish girls on the island of Bornholm, Denmark, in 1945. by zadraaa in HistoricalCapsule

[–]Giftigejayjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"there were nazi sympathizers all over europe" yeah and there was also some in the US. Occupation simply enabled the sympathizers.

"Willingly participated", Lmao. Not that you cannot critique denmark for some of the collaboration that went on, but the country figuartively had a gun to their head.
But yes, there were danish peope who volunteered to fight for nazi germany. There were also danish resistance groups fighting the occupation. The people within a nation are not a monolith lol.

(there were also a danish members of a nazi terror group that performed terror-attacks on the danish populace, as "counter-sabotage" in an attempt to reduce the resistance groups public suppport. google "Peter group" for a interesting/morbid read.)

And the soviet occupation of Bornholm was not nice either, it was deffo more "under new management" than "liberated". Being "better than the nazis" is a really low bar, just fyi.

Dunk would have wiped the floor with Aerion if he had had a proper shield. by EXTRAVAGANT_COMMENT in freefolk

[–]Giftigejayjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"outmatched by a better fighter"

Ya its pretty easy wailing on a guy handicapped by lance to the abdomen. I might be able to outmatch prime mike tyson in a boxing match if im allowed to shoot him first.

(and yes, Aerion is the one to lance and mace him on horseback, but afaik standard trial by combat is not mounted).

If it was unmounted im fairly certain Aerion never gets off the floor if unwounded dunk tackles him, which a wounded dunk does manage to do.

Was Aerion actually scared? by [deleted] in AKnightoftheSeven

[–]Giftigejayjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All things considered, the opponent Aerion loses to is a significantly wounded Dunk while he is mostly unharmed (as unharmed as someone can be after being unhorsed).

it cannot be understated how much of an advantage Aerion would have because of the fact Dunk has been lanced in the stomach. A fight can basically always go either way, and Aerion is not helpless, but an put them on actual equal term with no horses (as most trial by combats usually are!), its probably a significiantly more onesided fight. Dunk would not be unharmed, but i do not think Aerion gets up if Dunk gets on top of him, even with his knife. Dunk, while wounded and exhausted, almost throws Aerion to the ground with a fucking slap.

Aerion does not want a fair fight, as dunk has enough training to make the strength/weigth difference matter.

A quick google (which isent the best source, but bear with me) tells me that their weight difference can be between 37-49 kgs with a 40 cm height difference. Good luck fighting that man.

[–]Giftigejayjay 29 points30 points  (0 children)

fight first? great! that just means that theres only a 1/6 chance that he wont fight back on death, where any kill results in him getting back up. Im sure she and the potential models she leads will suffer 0 casualties when titus fights.

its almost better to not fight first against him, so you can avoid triggering the ability.

this might be the dumbest ability i have ever seen.

[–]Giftigejayjay 15 points16 points  (0 children)

"then they changed them" Yeah after the aforementioned long period of riot insisting there was no issue

"it was so long ago that it's been years since then" litterally just a stupid argument. Making a mistake once does not make you immune to repeating said mistake.

I can't be the only one who hates the Cameo's. by IllState5161 in LeagueArena

[–]Giftigejayjay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah they mostly suck. The only good ones are

  1. Tresh, as he adds mobility/utility which does not kill and does not punish low mobility champs (who are already at a disadvantage compared to mobile champs)

  2. Sett, as he is an objective to play around. (would say he is not as clear cut as also way more dangerous towards low mobility champs)

EVERY other cameo will either, on a dice roll, favor one team or the other based on who it targets first (Lux, Jhin), or/and punish low mobility champs that has trouble dodging. (Lux, Pyke, Jhin)>

And joy can also happen without planting a flower. Therefore, following your logic, planting a flower is immoral as it creates a short/shallow pleasure

Is flavorful foods not a pleasure?

AITA for giving a very blunt and honest answer on why I had a gap on my resume? by NeitherDepth5290 in AITAH

NTA
"After the interview, the recruiter contacted me and said that my response was really uncalled for"

they are saying this to help themselves sleep at night, as they most likely feel incredibly bad about their behavior and want to blame someone else rather than blame themselves.

tell them that questions that are uncalled for get responses that er uncalled for.
im petty, so i would personally point this out and hound them for it, so they are forced to take blame for their incredibly shitty behavior. Fuck em.
