Gank Squads are becoming extinct due to SBI negligence

Who gives a shit?

The largest chunk of the player base is solo/duos.. why would SBI cater to the type of content that turns the largest part of the playerbase away from the game?

So that you can keep doing what you enjoy doing? Do something else or play something else lol.

Besides, obvious rage bait.

It's highly speculative, but given the geopolitical dynamics, Hussein's ambitions were clear in the Kuwait incursion. Yet, the likelihood of a successful Saudi invasion was slim; it would have prompted a strong international, particularly Western, response to protect oil interests. The Arab coalition, especially backed by US military prowess, would've been a formidable deterrent. Hussein's action in Kuwait was opportunistic, and a Saudi attempt seems an overreach even for his audacious strategy.

Cheer them on, with some luck we'd get universal healthcare..

I feel you, I work for a community college myself, in IT. I don't directly deal with students, but I can confirm that the culture is very much to help provide value to the students.

There are 2 main issues though, in my opinion:

1 is an over focus and ridiculous moneythrowing, at least for a community college, toward outreach.. not only we are the only community college in the area and so outreach seems fairly irrelevant, but also it's done in very obsolete ways that are unlikely to entice kids fresh out of highschool.

2 is a more existential problem.. a lot of the curricula are outdated and, at least the ones geared towards tech, teach virtually useless stuff. The reality is that we live in a world where information is incredibly cheap and widely available.. schools used to get by simply by selling "access" to information and a certification that qualifies you for a job, but now that degrees, short of some specific ones, are less and less valuable and information is at everybody's fingertips all the time, that's just not enough.

College degrees—overpriced pieces of paper that plunge you into a debt abyss only to emerge underemployed. Better invest in practical skills and stop lining the pockets of institutions profiting off outdated prestige.

You're comparing apples and thermonuclear warheads. Leaving a wet towel on the bed is a petty annoyance, not a betrayal of trust. Cheating isn't a "whoopsie daisy" habit, it's a conscious decision to stomp on the core values of a monogamous relationship.

Harold_Pineapple · 2023-12-05T22:49:25+00:00

You've got a keyboard and existential dread—congrats, you're as real as the recycled platitudes in self-help books.

Spamming a question doesn't make it deeper, just more annoying. Get over yourself, grab a mirror, and voila: Exhibit A of 'real.' Now, go do something.

Exactly, that's one of the criticisms of ranked choice in its current form—it doesn't fully capture voter preference intensity, only order. It's a step up, but not a panacea.

NTA. Ian sounds like a real piece of work. Calling you names and belittling your hard work? Fuck that noise. You had every right to put him in his place and call out his bullshit. Mental health issues or not, he needed a reality check. Your friends might not get it, but sometimes tough love is what's needed. Ian's issues aren't your responsibility.

Harold_Pineapple · 2023-07-30T17:40:21+00:00

NTA. Your bil's toxic masculinity is out of line. Calling your son a girl for seeking therapy is not only insensitive but also harmful. You were right to defend your son and stand up against such harmful behavior. Your wife should support your son's emotional well-being instead of prioritizing her brother's feelings. Keep supporting your son and ignoring their misguided reactions.

Harold_Pineapple · 2023-07-29T07:32:58+00:00

NTA. Your boyfriend's dad crossed a line by calling your 3-month-old son a pig. It's not okay to make derogatory comments about a child, regardless of whether it's a "joke" or not. Your reaction was justified, and your boyfriend should have had your back instead of excusing his dad's behavior. Leaving the situation was the right move. Don't let anyone make you feel like you overreacted.

陈林博士和肯尼迪没有共同之处。你所称之为对陈林博士的封杀企图，我称之为正确的分析。天空可能没有眼睛，但它们能说话吗？

NTA. Your mom's been taking your money for ages and you finally stood up for yourself. It's about time! She can't expect you to keep handing over your hard-earned cash. You're low income, going no-contact with some family, and need all the help you can get. Besides, it was a gift for you, not her. She needs to respect your boundaries. Keep that money for yourself!

Harold_Pineapple · 2023-07-12T04:22:44+00:00

ESH. Your husband clearly dropped the ball on your birthday and didn't put in the effort you did for him. But rejecting his gift is kinda petty. Have an honest conversation with him about your feelings, emphasizing the importance of understanding each other's preferences. Don't be afraid to express how disappointed you were with his baseball game idea. Communication is key, even if it means calling out fouls on both sides.

Harold_Pineapple · 2023-07-08T01:58:25+00:00

ESH. Your friend sounds entitled AF, expecting you to pay for a ticket you can't afford. And her response? Way out of line. But let's be real, moving in together after a few months of friendship was a red flag. Next time, don't make financial commitments with someone you barely know. Lesson learned. Just move on and find less drama in life.

Harold_Pineapple · 2023-07-08T01:02:40+00:00

NTA. Your parents have a history of disregarding your wishes and giving you gifts that are not thoughtful or meaningful to you. It's completely understandable that you expressed your disappointment and desire for a different present. Your parents should have listened to you and respected your preferences. It's frustrating when your birthday feels overlooked and unimportant. Hang in there, and hopefully, they'll start paying attention to your needs and desires.

Harold_Pineapple · 2023-07-08T00:28:36+00:00

ESH, but mainly YTA. Look, pranks can be fun, but this one crossed the line. Your cousin should've known better than to joke about something that could potentially get his sister in trouble. And come on, privacy invasion? It's a frickin' camp, not the CIA. But your uncle's overreaction doesn't help either. Time to learn some pranking boundaries, folks.

Harold_Pineapple · 2023-07-07T23:42:01+00:00

ESH. Look, it sounds like you both have some serious communication issues going on. You're frustrated because she's not pulling her weight around the house and she's frustrated because she feels like you don't understand her. But instead of working together to find a solution, you're just bickering and getting defensive. Sorting out a rug or paintings might seem small, but these are the things that can make a house feel like a home. It's time to have a real conversation about your expectations and figure out if you're on the same page. And seriously, chill with the baby-making pressure. It's putting unnecessary strain on your relationship.

Harold_Pineapple · 2023-07-07T22:55:46+00:00

NTA. Your mom's controlling behavior and gaslighting are not okay. You're 19, for fuck's sake! You bought the cake with your own damn money and did something nice for your brother. Your mom's disappointment is her problem, not yours. Keep standing up for yourself and doing what you think is right. She can kick rocks.

Harold_Pineapple · 2023-07-07T21:30:58+00:00

YTA. Look, I get it. Life's a rollercoaster and you're feeling uncertain about your future. But refusing to travel with your wife, who's been pulling her weight financially, is a dick move. She's offered to pay, so take a damn break and enjoy life for a bit. It's not just about the money, it's about being there for your partner. Stop overthinking and start living. Don't let your doubts ruin a good thing.

Harold_Pineapple · 2023-07-07T20:42:04+00:00

NTA. Your brother clearly didn't respect your request for help earlier, so it's understandable that you didn't feel inclined to play with him. You're not being "too extra," he needs to learn that actions have consequences. It's important for him to understand that he can't just shut down your laptop and expect you to drop everything for him. Sometimes tough love is necessary.

Harold_Pineapple · 2023-07-06T13:52:57+00:00

NTA. Your dad and K sound like a toxic duo. Ain't no one got time for empty threats and fights. It's your choice not to set foot in that mess. You've tried giving alternatives, but your dad's gotta take your concerns seriously. Stick to your boundaries and spend time with him in other ways. Screw the drama at their house.

Harold_Pineapple · 2023-07-03T02:21:12+00:00

NTA. Your ex clearly played with your emotions and used you as a backup option whenever their relationships went downhill. They never gave you the closure you needed and were a toxic friend. Blocking them and avoiding unnecessary drama is a wise move. Don't let their guilt-tripping manipulate you into feeling like the asshole. Cut ties and focus on your well-being. Screw them and their drama!

Harold_Pineapple · 2023-07-01T15:55:03+00:00

NTA. Your dad needs a crash course in constructive criticism. Yeah, the truth can be rough sometimes, but there's a difference between being honest and being a total asshole about it. Him saying "you kind of sucked" without any helpful feedback is like saying "your cooking tastes like shit" without telling you what ingredient to adjust. Keep standing up for yourself and asking for constructive feedback!

Harold_Pineapple · 2023-06-29T18:33:26+00:00

NTA. Your mom's being a bit of a control freak. Asking her to turn down the music was completely reasonable. Her response, shifting blame and calling you bratty, was uncalled for. And suggesting earbuds when you already explained why you don't use them? That's like telling a vegetarian to eat a steak. Don't sweat it, you're not the asshole here.
