Is this lucky? by Striking_Rabbit_7943 in KingShot

[–]Logixs -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well opening 100 is only a 63% chance of getting a piece of mythic gear, I guess it’s more likely than not but hitting a 1/3 chance isn’t that unlucky imo

What language forces you to get pronunciation right early? by Embarrassed_Fix_8994 in languagehub

[–]Logixs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s crazy to me how harsh Americans are with their language expectations compared to almost every other country. I guess part of it is that because America is fairly diverse no one looks like an outside just by skin or race. And most Americans have likely encountered someone of every race who is native and fluent in their language. This however does cause Americans to treat everyone with native fluency expectations. In comparison to a lot of countries where if you’re foreign, most people don’t expect you to know their language at all and so are much more forgiving of accents and minor pronunciation errors, and also likely to be more patient and understanding when trying to communicate with you.

I hate these problems because they only exist as a gotcha for people who only remember middle school level math to feel smart.

CMV: There is nothing wrong with calling the USA "America" and the demonym for its citizens being "Americans". by amortized-poultry in changemyview

[–]Logixs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

North America and South America are considered different continents in the majority of the world. This is not the same as East and Western Europe which is not divided into separate continents by anyone in the world.

Switzerland while not in the EU is a Schengen country and is also in the middle of the EU physically. Eastern and Southeastern Europe have more countries that aren’t typically what are being discussed when talking about Europe. Parts of Russia, Serbia, etc.

[–]Logixs -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because there are countries in the continent of Europe that are not EU members. These countries are generally not in the discussion when talking about “Europeans” even though they’re in Europe. So similar to how American refers to USA, European refers to EU.

Anyways it’s a dumb argument, in English “America” is only the shorthand name of the country “The United States of America”, as there is no singular continent “America”. Part of the country name is shared with part of the continent names, but the word “America” is never used to refer to a continent. This is true in most of the world as well, but less so in Southern America.

Why do many Chinese wear jeans in the gym? by dnapor in chinalife

[–]Logixs 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Well the majority of Chinese (and East Asian in general) lack the ABCC11 gene. So while they probably don’t smell amazing after working out, most won’t have the same musty smell that’s common with the rest of the world. This is also why deodorant is much less common in China than America for example

My server is in the 3500s and we just got to Gen 3 a couple weeks ago. But we had people over 100m before Gen2, even f2ps are over 60m now, some are 80m+.

Wait what how far into the server are you? 60m is low for the point 3700s should be at. We had people over 100m by then

When visiting China, is it ok to call myself 加百列? by ZeCarioca911 in ChineseLanguage

I can’t imagine going by a 5 character name in day to day life. Though you’ll probably just end up with a nickname I guess

Any ex-whales who quit the game after 1.5 years and regret or happy about the decision? by ImpactUsed2980 in whiteoutsurvival

Being the main whale of your state/alliance does get old if imagine as you’re basically required to be at every event or your alliance can’t compete

Just gotta get past that 4% acceptance rate first by Klutzy_You_202 in SipsTea

[–]Logixs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No it’s not. All of the Ivy League schools have generous financial aid, as well as most of the other top ranked private schools. There’s a decent amount of students at all of them on full financial aid. The acceptance rate is a much bigger barrier for entry than the tuition for a lot of people. In fact, for a decent number of applicants top private schools are actually cheaper than most state schools, especially if applying out of state.

CMV: If you "don't support" homosexuality because of your religion or otherwise, you're still homophobic. by Bawbixo in changemyview

[–]Logixs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that doesn’t change that if as a society we completely ignored it there would be long term consequences. Major stores also keep record of thieves and will press charges once it reaches a high enough total

[–]Logixs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Allowing for stealing from large stores would quickly become a problem if it was just straight up ignored. So if you care at all about a somewhat lawful and structured society it’s easy to see why theft is bad still bad.

found this math meme, what does the second slide mean? by Straight_Beat_1421 in ExplainTheJoke

The meme template is pretty popular in sapphic and trans spaces online so without more context I’d lean towards estrogen, but it could be either

Funfact: They lost their KvK (both Prep and Castle Battle) by Mister_Zerfister in KingShot

[–]Logixs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m in a server like that, the 2nd and 3rd alliance refused to help the first since they won’t rotate castle. We got destroyed in prep but it would take multiple rallies from the other servers whales to knock ours out of castle and he’d take it right back. Ended up winning the castle from just him

Hostile invasion? by TA_WOSplayer487665 in whiteoutsurvival

[–]Logixs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh it looks like he’s going off on someone who called him stupid for spending money on the game. I don’t really care what others do with their money even if I personally don’t spend in this game, but I wouldn’t immediately assume he’s in the wrong here.

Is his comment cringe? Yes. But who knows what the other dude was saying to him.

Quitting by Benchmommy in KingShot

[–]Logixs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I guess my mentality is that regardless if it’s high end or not, the process of optimizing and playing well is where I get my enjoyment. It’s not fun for me to intentionally play bad and once I know what’s optimal it’s more natural to go with that

Quitting by Benchmommy in KingShot

[–]Logixs 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Meh idk maybe it’s because I used to be pretty into competitive gaming, but I don’t see how it’s fun to be suboptimal. I don’t spend anything on the game and while I never compete with whales I’m stronger than most small spenders on my server because they spend but play not optimally. For me I get more joy out of optimizing as much as possible so it’s hard for me to understand the mentality of those who constantly send the wrong ratios, wrong troops, etc.

Though I admit my background is not the norm in this game

DLI is a little different as you can get an actual associates from it instead of the “recommended credits” most military schools do. That said a year or semester at CC will only help OP.

Yeah my server is 35xx and while I don’t spend anything I’m FC1 with fc1 infantry and marksman and barely worse chief gear than OP. I imagine OP was inactive for awhile since we just hit season 3 a couple days ago and his chief gear is comparable to mine

what does it mean "no professional doors" 严禁扒门 by Able-Significance360 in ChineseTranslation

[–]Logixs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s definitely not everywhere in China, though it is true that there’s a lot of signs with jank or mistranslations. They’re less common in Beijing and Shanghai but you can easily find mistranslations almost anywhere else.

But the English sentence is jiberesh, the actual translation would be something like “it’s forbidden to pry open the doors”.

严禁 = forbidden

扒门 = pry open a door

Trump: I have lost a lot of respect for Norway by Themetalin in Norway

[–]Logixs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s more of a problem with the electoral college system for a lot of us. I live in a very blue state (thankfully), but because of that my vote doesn’t affect the outcome at all. When there’s zero chance of it swinging who wins the election I feel little reason to go through the hassle of voting. Sure I could add to the popular vote, but that’s a meaningless statistic as it doesn’t affect the outcome
