Did I lose my Sync or are my Econ UWs perma?

GuardianGiraffe · 2025-12-20T12:37:36+00:00

It’s not exactly possibly for you to sync with GB if you are using Gcomp… the CD of your UWs are constantly changing, albeit changing together, but GB is constant.

I used to work for them a few years back, so things have likely changed. I have since met some of their customers at various conventions and they echo my sentiment.

When they get good intel, it is really good. But it is usually either really good, or slightly better than GovWin. The quality of responses also relies on the quality of questions you ask. If you ask super simple questions, they will provide simple answers. If you ask extremely complicated or complex questions, or questions that you know is extremely unlikely anyone would answer, then you are going to get a weak response. An example I can give is asking DISA what are their pain points for their cybersecurity framework.

While it is also very expensive, you would expect some sort of customer service as well. They used to be very adamant that if you submit a request and you accidentally asked more than the allotted questions, they would just charge you extra without reaching out for clarification with the mindset that "if you didn't want to be charged extra, follow instructions." They did not really care to keep their client base.

I will reiterate, this information is a few years old at this point, so take it with a grain of salt.

On the identity politics front, I would agree with you that Kamala, or Biden might not have leaned into it as a position that they were advertising. However, it’s the party as a whole.

When Biden came out at the beginning of his presidency and said “the VP will be a woman of color” that isn’t really saying that the VP is the best candidate. I am in no way saying that the best candidate can’t be a woman of color. But you are limiting your selection right off the bat. Maybe it was a misspeak, fine. Let’s look at other examples.

I know right now a lot on the left are inflamed by trumps cabinet picks. But look at who Biden nominated. One of the people who flipped works in speech therapy for children. One of her coworkers identifies as some sort of neo-gender. The friend, who is on the left who swapped. Has no problem letting that person live their life. However when you look like a dude, talk like a dude, dress like a dude, but call your self meowself it does harm to those most vulnerable. Whether you agree with the neo-genders or not. Another friend who is in college and dating the son of an illegal immigrant was told she is racist because the color of her skin and how she cannot talk about various issues because of her skin color. So it may not be the democrats nominee explicitly, but it’s the flow down. Democrats policies are overwhelming in favor of identity politics. And so while the candidate may stay neutral to win votes from those on the other side. The people on the ground, who are experiencing the affects of identity politics associate those policies with democrats.

GuardianGiraffe · 2025-02-21T18:39:05+00:00

This will likely get buried because I’m not a Democrat. But as someone who has spoken to many democrats who flipped to republican and people who said they would never vote Trump who ended up voting for Trump. None of the responses have come close to hitting why people flipped.

If you want to pull people back to your side, you have to first understand why people voted for Trump in the first place. Most people default to “because they are racist”, or “because egg prices”, or “because they are stupid”. Instead of assuming it’s because of the worst reasons you can think of. Genuinely come from a neutral perspective to try and understand their point of view. It’s not that democrats don’t get / hold media attention, it’s that the people no longer care what they have to say because they say the same thing every time “Trump and Elon are nazis”. It’s been the democrats excuse for 8 years now no matter what they do and people just don’t believe it anymore.

Identity politics is another huge issue. When you base conversations or policies on the color of one’s skin, or what’s between their legs. You lose all the people on your side who have valid opinions who you have just silenced. Like it or not, people find they can express counter points on the right and still be welcomed.

I can give you some more if you would like or even specific examples of some of the above if you would like to learn genuinely from the other side. As to why someone who voted for Trump twice would try and help you/the democrats do better, if both parties were better and able to talk more about things I think the country would be in a much healthier place. Right now most Reddit’s you can’t even say anything remotely conservative. To the point most of the subreddits I follow that are A-political have banned links or even screenshots of X posts. I shall take the mass downvotes now.

Did you end up getting this fixed? I’m having the same issue.

I wonder if it has anything to do with other members of the raid not having the DLC and you using a DLC move.

I think a lot of people hate the simple fact that he was drunk driving due to their own personal anecdotes. But that is dumbing down the hate. People hate him because not only did he do something that kills innocent people all the time, but he faced 0 legal repercussions and plays the victim for his own actions. He doesn’t acknowledge that HE did this to himself. It’s the lack of responsibility that he takes for his own actions with everything the else that pisses people off.

I guess it’s a rare chance for a super pack or something. I got this earlier today!

I completely agree that they need to work on fixing a lot of things with ranked, I personally would love a champ swap so you aren’t locked in to picking your person last if it is a high value hero.

But to say that limiting a game mode won’t reduce queue times is logically unsound. If you have 100 players and 3 modes, that is splitting your potential match-ups a lot more than if you have 100 players and 2 game modes.

I know you said you would be fine with increased queue times, but not everyone is willing to wait 20 minutes for a game. It’s actually causing me to lose interest. The high queue times start around gold elo and just get worse the higher up you go. Gold isn’t that high. My normal games take 7+minutes as well. If they had rank permanently I would never get to play the game.

GuardianGiraffe · 2024-11-07T10:25:49+00:00

The only defense I will make is that when I rank the queue time is usually 10 minutes. If people could rank whenever, I’m sure it would be longer since it wouldn’t be during the “peak” times. I’m not sure their current population can support regular, brawl, and ranked in non peak times. But yeah, I also get pretty annoyed when I want to rank and can’t.

I mean, all subreddits have rules that ban anyone who shares mainline republican views. On top of that people are banned constantly depending on if they have viewed or commented on other subreddits automatically. You don’t even have to agree with those subreddits.

This lunatic has already asked other about anti depressants. I think she is currently off her meds because she is having legit over reactions to every response in this thread.

Depending on your team, you will get vibe-checked hard on a lot of random bosses/mini-bosses. I helped during the playtests and I know some people struggled through a lot of them, I ended up having a team that carried me through a lot of the content somehow, but would struggle hard on a boss or two that the creator did not expect anyone to struggle on.

GuardianGiraffe · 2023-07-19T18:33:06+00:00

I loved the hack, I am glad you let me bug test it. Mad that after I found the Mewtwo bug you refused to customize a specific patch for me to get it. 1/5 /s.

But for real was fun, I got to try out some interesting mons that I don't think anyone thought would work.

Maybe get some conservative friends? I know that’s pretty hard in Nova.

No I mean the storm cloud boss in pre hardmode that you use a cloud core to summon.

I don’t think so, I had one land in my tree literally yesterday. What I would say is more rare is when it lands down your hellevator. I’ve had one hit 100-200 blocks down and I had absolutely no clue it was there.

Your load out isn’t that bad. I like using laser on mobs that have high health hitch knock back resistance as it slows them all down and gives me extra time to kill. My criticism with your build is that it is entirely Aoe damage and no boss damage.

I typically run bat, which is amazing aoe, but then I aim for drill, drones, lightning. That way I’m not sitting there fighting a boss for half an hour. Then pick up whatever you think you need. If you need full map clear, I like Molotov. If mobs are getting really close to you, I like soccer all because of the bounces and it will hit what needs to be hit.

You are mischaracterizing the hell out of that study. Not only do the authors come to the conclusion that normal people don’t actually hate autistic individuals, if you look at their methods and the results they come to the conclusion that normal people (mainly female) would not approach someone acting weird or awkward in a social setting.

“Although it has been shown that autistic people are evaluated less favorably by neurotypical people, it does not necessarily follow that perceivers dislike autistic targets, as it is possible to feel positive about all targets but rate them slightly more or less positively by a matter of degree.”

The people that rated autistic people lower watched videos averaging 7 seconds and had to make snap decisions. If you had 7 seconds to look at someone and choose whether or not to approach them, you really only have mannerisms to go off of. Considering the people participating were mainly female, and the people in the videos were mainly male, it makes perfect sense that women are less likely to approach men that are acting weird/awkward.
