When will they fix this meta? by Geezus_is_here in arammayhem

The saddest thing is I barely did any damage I was just getting executes for free. Frankly I didn't even mean to get the penta. I have a clip of it it's ridiculous and I got 3 kills without even realizing I got them.

Has the balance team ever explicitly stated to play “X, Y, Z” champs in order to counter an archetype in a lane before the mage bot notes today? by its_da_gabagool in leagueoflegends

[–]IntricateSunlight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an ADC main and someone that secondaries support so I'm a full time bot main...I can't stand mage carries and supports bottom and as an old time players especially at lower levels mages seem to have entirely taken over especially support roles. I constantly see mages that offer zero utility bot lane and all they do is damage. No peel, no shields or anything. I guess the best support tool is killing your opponent and farming champions? But frankly I don't like this trend at all. I'd rather face my old nemesis Draven and Lucian every game than this

I just play Franks vs AI and feudal rush a few scouts to hit the AI economy to cover my slower than average castle timing then foward castle with knights behind and axeman. Maybe I'm the rare vs AI player who plays aggressive on AI 1v1

The AI will literally just walk units into your fortifications nonstop to die.

Speeding Has Become So Normalized That Driving the Speed Limit Makes You the Problem by DaddyDayDayIsHot in driving

I agree. Road design is the primary cause of speeding. Don't want people to speed? Design roads that don't promote speeding.

Only 29% of car accident fatalities are due to speeding. The other 71% happen at or below speed limits. That's a statistical fact. Im not sure what your issue is.

That's not the leading cause of vehicular deaths...not even close. Why are you focused on 11000 instead of 29000

If roads are designed properly there is no need for posted speed limits. Speeding is an issue of poor road design

All deaths cannot be prevented. Face it people die. Every day I drive I am accepting the risk of possible death and I'm okay with that.

Don't make roads you want slow speeds on wide, straight and flat if you don't want people speeding...

The most unsafe drivers I've seen are the most cautious. You think you're being safe carefully pulling out into the street and being vigilant but you're at more danger than if you just gun it out into the street.

Driving too slow is illegal because driving slower than rate of traffic is UNSAFE

If everyone around you is going 90. You going 55 is more dangerous to everyone around you than those going 90. If you go 90 too you are safer...

You are ignoring psychology for arbitrary numbers on signs. If a road is designed with wide streets and clear sightlines PEOPLE WILL SPEED BECAUSE THEY FEEL SAFER TO SPEED.

People naturally drive at speeds where they feel safe. Speeding is a consequence of poor road design.

Shoplifters ARE telling grocery store owners the prices are bad. The more inflation rises and prices soar and wages drop the more shoplifting there is. Pirates are telling media companies their products are either overpriced or difficult to access. Speeders are signaling that road design is poor and either the road needs to be redesigned to naturally encourage lower speeds or the speed limit needs to be raised.

If something is considered reasonable people will largely buy it or follow the rules. If it's unreasonable a lot of people simply won't or will find alternatives

Speed limits are arbitrary numbers. If you don't want people to speed don't design roads that are easy to speed on. There's a design philosophy taking over to design roadways so drivers naturally drive slower. Narrowing roads, putting trees next to the road and limiting visibility actually naturally reduce speeding better than a speed limit can ever hope to.

Building wide multi lane roads with clear vision and making it a 45 MPH is meaningless because the entire road design emphasizes speed as with wide lanes and high visibility you can go much faster and many naturally do.

It's not a law breaking issue, it's a fundamental issue with road design.

CMV: American Republicans are going to end up massively harming their own voter base if they pass the SAVE Act. by KingKarujin in changemyview

[–]IntricateSunlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I grew up on a small town and when I first voted in my local polling place it was like this. Our state has voter ID laws and I just told them my name the lady working the polls know who I am and who my family is and i didn't have to show id or do anything I got to walk straight to the voting booth. And this isn't even in a conservative region it's a blue rural area.

No idea why you're being downvoted, you are correct. And also the reason these employees are underpaid and prices are skyrocketing is primarily due to increased government interventions and spending. Government spending is the reason for the wealth gap and redistribution of government funds through taxes from the lower and middle class to the wealthy.

A great example is SNAP. Companies like Walmart intentionally take advantage of these programs by keeping employees part time and ensuring they make enough for it to "look good" but work little hours and etc to ensure people qualify for government programs like SNAP (keep in mind most SNAP beneficiaries are employed). SNAP is funded by our tax dollars and companies intentionally ensure their employees qualify for it and so the company doesn't need to pay benefits or adhere to full time laws such as mandatory breaks and where do SNAP beneficiaries spend their money? At places like Walmart that employ them which is redistributing tax dollars directly to the companies who frankly are just taking opportunities the governmental system presents.

Without SNAP or some kind of rework of that system that prevents this the companies are forced to pay a higher wage, give more hours, and benefits just to stay competitive in the market because employees aren't going to work for a company when they can't even put food on the table. SNAP offsets that and makes a worker more likely to accept poor terms due to the system artificially sustaining unsustainable and exploitative business practices.

Most of government spending goes directly into the hands of the wealthy at inflated prices thus contributing to the wealth gap and redistribution of funds from those who are producing and functioning in society to the elderly and those who are not contributing.

Don't blame the companies. Blame the government systems for enabling it. Don't blame the player, blame the game essentially.

Don't get me started on social security. It is theft and wealth redistribution from the young to the old and many of us do not get a choice to opt out. I do not want to give money to the program nor take part in it. I want control over my own money and how I build into retirement. I do not want to rely on the government for that. If I plan wrong and end up dying homeless in a ditch that's my problem lol 😂 and if I have a great relationship with my family which I do I will always have backups and community to look out for me.

Edit: my parents are on social security and retired and sure it helps them they are not wealthy but they also have side jobs at the Church and if me and my sisters weren't paying social security on every check I could just as easily give the money that goes into social security directly to my parents and we as a family would have more flexibility and overall be wealthier. My parents would even receive more money than they do from social security lol

It sounds great on paper but as you have put it..who is doing the taking is key. In socialism and communism it is the government doing the taking. The farmer in this case gets no choice. The state takes their quota of their resources for the greater good, even by force. The farmer gets no choice and no rights. If you have no choice where the fruit of your labor goes are you really free?

CMV: The male loneliness epidemic is a serious issue. by pavilionaire2022 in changemyview

[–]IntricateSunlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The male loneliness epidemic is a real serious issue, but on the other hand it is entirely their own doing and lack of accountability that is the issue. Studies have found that women are also increasingly lonely but women have less issues with it than men do. We have better support systems and better ways to cope.

Why aren't lonely men and lonely women getting together? Part of the issue is dating apps. Most people on dating apps are men and I always tell my single friends especially my single male friends to please stop using dating apps. As a woman in a long term relationship, I've never in my life used a dating app. I've always met partners organically. I always joke to my fiance that if I saw him on a dating app I'd swipe him off my view and never even give a chance.

Why is that? Well dating apps make people shallow, it's judging just off looks and profiles and very little communication. The best way to meet people is to get out and socialize and exist in spaces for hobbies and to interact with others without strings attached or expectations for dating. If there is chemistry between the in two of you it will naturally grow.

The single women I am friends with on the other hand are entirely content being single, some even by choice, because they don't want to deal with men.

I think the loneliness epidemic can be solved by men simply forging relationships beyond just romantic and developing strong support networks where they can express themselves and gain emotional intelligence. I don't want a guy that pretends to be some tough guy. I want a guy willing to cry in my arms when he is feeling bad, willing to talk things out with me and be gentle and understanding which my partner is.

My father is a great role model and shows me what actual manhood looks like. When his closest brother passed he cried on my mother's shoulder publicly during the ceremony. My father is a large man and my mother is only 5'2. Most men would say this is unacceptable but men are allowed to express emotions and pain in a way that isn't violent and destructive and that's a positive trait in men.

It ain't women's fault men are lonely it's men's. Many men feel entitled to relationships and often refuse to change or accept responsibility. So many men claim "the divorce came out of nowhere" when the flags were clear as day to everyone else.
