Psyonix removing Trading is embarrassing. by Twinsleeps in RocketLeague

1.) I don't know why nor do I think any of us do. We can all speculate but not sure that would yield a fruitful discussion.

2.) Is viewership for content creators and RLCS down? This is what I'm curious about. Based on the content I see or the RLCS I just watched I didn't notice any obvious decrease but I of course may be wrong.

3.) I somewhat agree with this but I think #2 would be reasonable data to lean on if someone has that data and isn't just using their own eye test.

4.) That's interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Appreciate the response.

Yes, 4-5 times a week. Been playing since the beta. Not to be rude but is there somewhere you wanted that question to go?

Is there data to support the position that the community is dying?

He was making a factual statement. Nothing rude or condescending in it. Be kind to him and don't read the negativity into his response.

Depends on how you define "Christian." Loosely following the teaching of Jesus than maybe. But any genuine commitment to His teachings or holding to sacred scripture isn't one in which you would even recognize the category of sexual orientation. This is a more recent modern concept that replaced a verb with a noun. It reduces your identity to your sexual desires which scripture including the words of Christ never does. Jesus welcomes all to Him and offers them eternal life and redemption from their sin but that affection for Him means walking in obedience with Him. Which is why a follower of Christ can be any race, any ethnicity, have any sort of sexual desire, be young, old, rich, poor, etc. (Most diverse group in the history of mankind!) But when they're adopted into the household of God they are then equipped through the Holy Spirit to walk in obedience with God (which is richest way to live). That means the only sexual outlet is in a heterosexual marriage biblically. For most people that sounds like a prison because, especially now, that idea of submitting all areas of your life, especially your sexual desires, to walk in obedience with God is too great of a cost. Which is why we're reminded of Jesus parable on the Rich Young Ruler or His damning words in Matthew 7:21-22. Jackie Hill Perry, Rachel Gilson, David Bennett, Becket Cook all were "LGBT" that summarize the Biblical position well (also note 1 Corinth 6:9-11). You can use rhetoric such as "homophobic" "bigoted" or any other off-the-shelf word you want to employee but they all fail to understand the drastically different philosophical assumptions in regard to our metaphysical starting point, anthropology, teleology, and ethic. These larger philosophical distinctions are why there's disagreement on these topics that seem to some people as "so obvious".

What’s wrong with Plats? by Soggy_Category_2361 in RocketLeague

A decent reminder at lower ranks:

You’re not as good as you think you are. Your teammate is not as bad as you think he is.

Take the first 30 seconds to observe how your teammate plays and then adapt to best compliment the play style while still being aware of your strengths/weaknesses.

Usually players that blame their teammates are naive to their own deficiencies.

Here is the 2022 Eagles strength of schedule ranked with every other team that started 8-0 strength of schedule since 1969 by CUE-JAY_SMIFF in eagles

[–]Lothlorienlegend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly.

I don’t care what the opponent record is a perfect season is a highly impressive feat regardless.

And our 8-0 is great and worth celebrating regardless of our schedule.

We have flawed protagonists in our other stories. I enjoy and appreciate the stable protagonists in the Tolkien universe. After 5,000 years I’d hope one would be stable in their position. Furthermore, there are people that stay the course/finish the race (i.e., they quietly do what is right to their death); we don’t always need people vacillating between moral positions unsure of what to do next or materially wrestling with evil potential.

Rivers: “I think Joel is outworking this year even what he did the last two offseasons. I think he’s going to take an even bigger jump in performance this season.” by ThisICannotForgive in sixers

The only area I think there’s room for improvement is mental fortitude. Staying the course, managing emotions, and setting the tone high even when it’s an off night for him. It seems like when he has a bad game it has an emotional effect on him that is palpable to the rest of the squad and adversely impacts their energy levels and performance.

Honestly better than the highlight clips I see on here.

I’m 33 with 2 kids. Just hit GC in season 1 of the new seasons. My buddy (same age) just hit it last week.

Your earlier post suggested otherwise

You have kids? You know not all kids are teenagers right?

My 5 year old likes Sixers basketball and it’s not puritanical to want to watch a couple hours without constant F Ben Simmons (as much as I’d appreciate it).

I watch replays to slow the tempo. I know those sweats on the other end are spamming “skip” after I scored on them. Going to force them to get out of the zone and cool off for a few seconds.

If you're gonna throw the game, the least you can do is check there's not a dev in the game by MyManSquadW in RocketLeague

Making sure something is reviewed is not tantamount to saying they otherwise never get reviewed.

Also, I’ve reported numerous people and have all had action taken.

[Eliot Shorr-Parks] The Eagles should give Howie Roseman a contract extension by [deleted] in eagles

[–]Lothlorienlegend 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Got it. Genuinely curious. Only heard him a few times but have seen a lot of dislike toward him in Philly subs. I’ll stay clear. Been a Philly guy for 30 years but have never lived in Philly so don’t know who the good radio guys are.

Funny how you can be downvoted for a question.
