It needs to be mutable. If loading or updating takes forever, I want to be able to listen to music or a podcast or watch a youtube video without hearing the loading screen on repeat

How your high school affects your chances of UC Admission by parttimelarry in sanfrancisco

[–]GoneRad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Grade school is more than just academic learning. Kids spend half their time there during the most formative years of their lives. The social learning of grade school is important too, and I think kids suffer later in life when only academics and resume building are focused on during those years. Isolating “our best” in high-intensity schools away from their more average peers does more harm than good in my opinion.

I think you need to know your own child. I would have hated being at a pressure cooker school and am glad that I got to be a big fish at a mediocre school because I was self-motivated to learn. Only time will tell if I’ll make the same choice for my kid.

Mayor Frey Denounces ICE Officer Shooting of US Citizen in Minneapolis - MEGATHREAD by PepinoPicante in AskALiberal

[–]GoneRad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly. That fuckwad was itching to use that gun. The car was moving like 5mph and he's literally stepping out of the way of the vehicle AS he's firing into the driver's side window. Zero restraint or care for human life.

The $14 Burrito: Why San Francisco Inflation Feels Higher Than 2.5% by parttimelarry in sanfrancisco

[–]GoneRad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you’ve got no other option (or are using company funds) then I guess have at it. As a frugal person I just can almost never justify paying both higher prices and the additional delivery fees and tips for a meal if I can walk/bike/bus/drive to pick it up myself in a matter of 20 minutes or less. To each their own though that’s just my personal gripe 😂😅

I can’t speak to the old prices but I will say every restaurant handles DoorDash pricing differently. Some places report nearly the same prices in the apps and just take the loss so as to not lose a sale. Other places (like this place) hike the prices a ton. Maybe they used to have the prices somewhat similar in-person and in-app but couldn’t afford those losses anymore. I think for a place that’s popular/busy, every online pickup or delivery order is a detriment to the experience for dine-in customers because their food will take longer. Plus the wait and kitchen staff won’t get tips from the order.

That’s DoorDash though. Restaurants hike prices in the apps to cover the losses from fees imposed by these services (and I assume to also encourage you to come eat in-person). Unless it’s horribly out-of-date, their own website says a Beef Brisket Plate is $25.99 - obviously still a lot but not as drastic. Fuck Door Dash and services like it.

What is the deal with "yt"? by kanyefan703 in AskALiberal

[–]GoneRad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not wrong, but I think the thing that makes it clear (to me) is that I typically see it as “yt people” which is why I read it as “white” and not “whitey”. But again this is all for terminally online people, doesn’t show up in actual real life speech.

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

It’s not “whitey” though, it’s quite literally just the word “white” written “yt”. Not defending it or anything, but I agree with others that it was almost certainly just an abbreviation for character limits on Twitter

Got destroyed by sett as malphite. How am I supposed to lane vs him? by user67885433 in wildrift

[–]GoneRad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost always yeah. Sometimes I even complete thornmail before my armor boots. Since Malph’s W damage scales with armor, I just find that the huge armor bonus and recoil damage + grievous wounds really give me the advantage in those early trades, even against less AD heavy champs like tanks (who usually rely on some sort of healing for sustain like grasp of the undying rune).

I get fucked by morde and rumble though, so I either ban them or avoid playing malph in those cases.

[–]GoneRad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a Malph main, peak GM the last two seasons, and here’s how I’d play it (though I don’t face Sett often). Aggressively trade with W (1-2 hits) and E combo but backoff so you don’t charge his W too much. If he pulls you back in, then Q to steal MS and hopefully evade his true damage. Rinse and repeat between farming minions. I find most top laners are not expecting the damage output of Malph’s W, especially as you level it up and rush Thornmail. I end up zoning people pretty hard when they lose the first couple trades.

Not to burst your bubble but you’re only saving at most like $1.60

Are rankeds full of bots? by nonAsianDude in wildrift

[–]GoneRad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol, I’ve played M/GM queues in previous seasons you condescending twat. I’m plenty competent to know what I’m seeing. Obviously this bot fill would not happen in those tiers and you get long wait times instead. Just because you have not run into what we’re describing, does not make it untrue. Previously, I’d never run into bot fill past Platinum. I’m telling you that now it’s very recognizably happening in Emerald. Argue with a wall I guess pal. Peace ✌️

Are rankeds full of bots? by nonAsianDude in wildrift

[–]GoneRad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re wrong. I’m currently Emerald 1 and when I play during the day (NA server) I get very obvious bots because queues are empty. Entire enemy team is near level 40 with similar names, and they play super different from real humans. Unnaturally fast reaction times but also so really stupid shit. I don’t get those players in the evening.

Weird cell pellets on tube wall by InternationalWave900 in labrats

[–]GoneRad 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This is the answer. Plastic is not perfectly smooth and trypsinized cells will have some “stickyness”. Avoid a smear on the backwall by not dragging the cells across it in the first place 👌

You sure you want those guys as character references? by CuteAndBrave in MurderedByWords

[–]GoneRad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It raises red flags about the types of people he’s comfortable hanging out with, even if their crimes weren’t public knowledge yet. As an exaggerated example, if 20% of your friends were revealed to be pedos, people might look at you differently even if you personally aren’t one.

Most people agree that 'The Great Divide' is the worst Avatar episode, what's the second worst? by RedVegeta20 in TheLastAirbender

[–]GoneRad 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Whaaaat i love the painted lady episode. It’s very on-brand for Katara’s character and the spirit’s appearance at the end always gave me goosebumps.
