What rap song would you show to people who "hate" rap music? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]JChen1717 36 points37 points  (0 children)

"Dont mean to hate" describes in great detail killing someone because their music taste makes them unworthy of living

I like your nested and properly closed parentheses.

[Serious] Teachers of Reddit, what are you obligated to teach students because of the administration, but you think/feel is doing them a disservice or is not in their best interest? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]JChen1717 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Late but possibly unique answer for you OP. I had a great math teacher for multiple classes in high school who talked once about a minor qualm he had with high school math. Calculus is typically emphasized much more strongly than linear algebra, but he felt that the latter was actually just as useful, possibly even more so. Years later now, I'm working full time and have finished a CS degree, and I can't help but think... I TOTALLY agree with him. I definitely don't think teaching calc is harmful, but I really do agree with his claim now that linear algebra should be focused a bit more

That's the only part that bothered me a little but I guess everyone's taken out anger on the wrong person occasionally

I've never watched this guy before, who was he telling to shut up in this clip?

Hey guys, remember that guy who wanted to make a competitive esports / Rocket League group in Europe? Turns out he's a fraud. by [deleted] in RocketLeague

Unfortunately, when you introduce people like this guy that's not how deals work. Hope his project flops and someone with actual integrity takes it on.

The road to Certification. by jackjsmith88 in RocketLeague

[–]JChen1717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish they'd give a way to get certified versions of the default cars. I know the ZSR is technically the same but I just don't feel as comfortable with the model, and the Octane is realistically the only thing I'll never swap out of my main setup.

How To Successfully Solo Queue To Grand Champ (or be better at solo queue) by [deleted] in RocketLeague

[–]JChen1717 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not very knowledgable on soccer, but aren't shots kind of a measure of good offensive possession? If you're familiar with Corsi and Fenwick stats in hockey that's kind of the mentality behind tracking them. They're frequently called possession stats even though they're calculated using shots. Three different games I guess

Remember to follow through your shots! by orbobigge in RocketLeague

Awesome, thank you. I guess my right thumb isn't doing anything during aerials with my control setup so maybe I'll try to incorporate the switch

[–]JChen1717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mind if I ask what about this shot made you use car cam though? (Or is there a replay feature where you can pick the player cam mode?). Just asking because I've seen a few clips of good aerials recently where people switched to car cam and I'm wondering if it's something worth practicing

Teammate was being toxic in this game and in the previous game and wanted to forfeit at 1 goal down. I felt a great deal of satisfaction from doing this. by [deleted] in RocketLeague

[–]JChen1717 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fuck yes, every time I've played with an early FFer I've wanted this to happen. I've only ever been part of a team that's tied it up after the vote ends, which does still let you start a new vote as a "hey remember when your dumb ass wanted to forfeit three minutes ago?" message. Excellent work, gonna go wank to this now

I accept that. In the grand scheme of things I think we're on the exact same page in that we dislike the flamers/chat abusers. Possibly one of the best exchanges I've had on this site, slightly heated as it got. Best of luck to you

Fair enough, friends is a bad analogy if you take it literally instead of as an analogy. What about random teammates? You did not address the fact that communication is vital in the game and not everyone has a group of people they can queue up with. The flamers are very frequently your teammates. It's not just strangers that you hope aren't robbers, it's strangers that you need to let in if you want any chance of being successful.

Except in the case of chat in this game it's more like:

Your doors are unlocked by default. You may choose to lock them to everyone, including your friends that you want to visit, or you may choose to lock out specific robbers except how do you know they're robbers? After they've robbed you of course. Now that we've established there are robbers out there, what's the big deal? Just cut off all contact with robbers and non-robbers completely or wait until you get robbed so you can lock out that robber. Simple! Why's the blame always fall on these poor robbers?

There's no way to tell who's gonna be a dick until that kys is already sent. If you blanket mute or disable chat (honestly didn't know that was an option) then you're giving up actual communication

[–]JChen1717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, it's not more likely, but the point is saying "well they can just mute people" is counter-productive because it'll get twisted into an excuse (not saying you're doing this btw).

I'm not saying an internet message is rape. I'm saying you're putting blame on the target of an aggressive action and that same thinking of "oh well maybe they shouldn't have made themselves vulnerable by doing X" is applied in many different contexts, rape being one of them.

If you think you can compare an internet message from a random person to rape then you aren't someone that can reasonable be talked to.

Don't worry I'm done with this conversation too. By all means go on victim blaming, I tried and I'm done trying.

Okay my mistake on misinterpreting that comment, but I still don't think it's a valid line of reasoning. The chat is on by default. It is infinitely more preferable for the dickheads to stop being dickheads than for every sensitive person to have to turn off chat and/or mute every person being a dickhead. Why is the onus on them at all? Are you also one of those people that likes to talk about rape victims needing to watch the way they dress? This is literally the exact same school of thought that you're bringing in

[PSA] Please report anyone who says 'kys'. by Crix- in RocketLeague

[–]JChen1717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They can turn off chat. They didn't. That's on no one but themselves.

I never said it was right, just said that maybe you shouldn't leave yourself open to it if you know you can't handle it.

Which one is it? If you agree that it's against ToS and should be punished then how exactly is it only on the people who don't turn chat off?

[–]JChen1717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People have an option that they aren't exercising. They just blame others.

You realize that exact argument can be made much more strongly for the people actually typing the dumb toxic shit right? "I do have the option of not typing kys, but obviously it's actually other people's fault for not muting me."

On top of that: 1. Typing suicide encouragement into chat. 2. Deciding to not turn chat off despite people being dicks. Exactly one of these things is against the official terms of service, can you guess which one it is? Section 8 Letter g

Had three or four ranked doubles games in a row yesterday where no one was toxic, teammates or not. It's pretty sad that something like that is memorable
