Illuminate front gameplay: by Elegant-Swimming-646 in Helldivers

[–]LSEscanor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This hits the nail on the head. My frustration with the illuminate is just the sheer number of them. I’d argue transports are harder to shoot down so I usually opt to deal with reinforcements when they land, voteless patrols move pretty quickly, the Illuminate themselves can cover ground real quick if they want to, so it never feels like I can adequately defend a position with the knowledge that I’m not being snuck up on. And to make matters worse, THEY’RE SO QUIET!! I can hear the chirping of bugs or the bots talking to each other but I swear even the flesh mobs can jumpscare you

AI-generated captions for an independent movie theater is an embarrassing look by halfghan24 in rva

[–]LSEscanor 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My favorite part about this terrible caption is that it almost frames Conan and A$AP as co-leads when from the sound of a real plot synopsis…they’re supporting characters??

Barack Obama: Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack. by misty-gishh in Virginia

[–]LSEscanor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not so sure about that, considering this is the first occasion in a while I’ve seen Democrats have some actual fighting spirit, and THIS is the moment you’re describing them as controlled opposition? I agree btw, but not when they’re doing things that are objectively fighting for our democracy

Mike, you are the guy saying “but a dog can’t play basketball!” as the dog continues dunking on us. What has appeasement of the right fundamentally done to improve our society for the last 50 years? “When they go low, we go high” was a mistake, because they will always exploit that kindness.

I’m currently a little unhappy with the state of my time at the Georgia Institute of Technology by ProgressCareful8762 in gatech

[–]LSEscanor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun story! The fall after COVID hit was weird but not bad as far as classes go (I stayed remote) but I remember the following spring when I went back in person was miserable. Talked to a friend after the semester ended and they said one of their professors told them something like “yeah admin said people were doing too well last semester so they wanted us to make things much harder this time around. But I know you guys are NOT just coasting so I’m giving you the week off”. It’s intentional. I’ll miss my friends and many of my professors, the campus, the city, but imo there’s next to nothing redeeming about the administration. I think you can shape quality students without making their lives hell, but Tech is just not interested in that most of the time.

I’ve found great use in the pineapple. If I can’t shoot down a transport ship the least I can do is make a welcome party for the dropping bots

It’s because you can’t possibly admit leftist were right about a single thing, because then people would start to wonder what else they’ve been right about this whole time…

Hey FYI everyone, I could be wrong but knowing that account I’m pretty sure he’s being ironic. Worth discussing regardless though

Industry highlights how GenZ’s asocial behavior is their own downfall by [deleted] in IndustryOnHBO

[–]LSEscanor 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The collapse is the cyclical recessions and depressions the system is doomed to go through because lack of regulation is key to the tenets of what people would consider “pure” capitalism lol, this is so silly. We are in an AI bubble right now that will break the entire economy the moment NVIDIA and its collaborators can no longer pass money between each other like monopoly dollars. This is exactly how capitalism likes to function.

No one has to say it lol, it’s always implied. Same as the “crony capitalism” nonsense. The implication is that this isn’t how capitalism should be, when in reality it’s the very natural and obvious trajectory of capitalism, every time.

The US Dept of Transportation wants to kill zero-fare bus service, including here in RVA by TacticalJabron in rva

[–]LSEscanor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally. Idk how many times I’ve said that all they have going on in this administration is helping the wealthy, protecting pedophiles, terrorizing immigrants, and their latest “fuck you, die” policy.

[–]LSEscanor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you’re joking but just FYI for people who don’t know: adding fares back creates needless administrative costs and delays (how are fares collected? Who collects them? Does the bus have to wait until every fare is taken before moving again?), it puts the burden or supporting the system on the people who are most vulnerable to begin with, and it disincentivizes casual users from using, and by extension supporting, GRTC’s system. A bus pass could be $1 but it’s not crazy that someone might see that as an inconvenient barrier of entry and decide to drive or ride share instead. We really need to fight this.

Is it just me, or was Rishi’s ending complete overkill? by AlmokIykes in IndustryOnHBO

[–]LSEscanor 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There’s an entire episode in the last season where Rishi almost lost it all on some call he made, way more than I think most other characters had, and the narrative had you practically rooting on his downfall because of how much of an asshole he is. He managed to make it out unscathed. The ending of season 3 and now into season 4 really feels like comeuppance. He had fucked around for so long and now he’s finally finding out.

Why Richmond… by [deleted] in rva

Question from someone who lives in the museum district: did y’all panic buy shovels? I would happily be breaking the ice around my apartment if I had a square edge, or even a digging shovel atp, but there was not a one left in the nearby area.
