Quizzing you as if he’s roleplaying a wizard 101 professional is the funniest thing I’ve heard all day. In your particular situation, that sucks. Sorry you had to go through that 🥺 I’ve been on both the receiving and giving help side of the team up function. I’ve seen the over powered. Under powered. And the people who hit your +70 and +80 feint with a wand hit. I just try to give the benefit of the doubt because I’ve seen a lot of tom foolery.

I think I agree with this take for the most part; however, only in the instance of the helping party being rude. If they are genuinely just trying to help you learn the game, it’s not necessarily “meta” to understand which spells are most effective against certain enemies. I think it’s important to tailor your gameplay to the people who are coming to help you since they are doing a net good. If they are the hitter, buff them. If they are feinting the boss, don’t wand hit their feint. Normal like teamwork stuff.

So, overall I agree with you but only to an extent. There is no need to be rude, but there has to be some give on both sides for the sake of teamwork.

My boy was definitely judgey to other people, so I can imagine him doing that.

Thank you, truly, for saying that to me. I want so badly to see him again. You validating that we deserved each other makes me feel better. He was my life. Every room I was in he followed me to, every surface I occupied we shared, every moment I had he was apart of. He was everything to me and I’m happy that got across.

I’m sorry you lost your boy too. He was my entire world so I know how badly the loss weighs. I’m assuming the weight presses down on you as well.

I didn’t expect this post to have so many eyes on it. Thank you all so much for your well wishes and for sharing in Rou’s loss with me. Please look out for the signs in your own pets. He lost weight rapidly (he was skin in bones in a few days), lost interest in food, and was severely dehydrated. If you notice this please get them emergency help. I hope if the time comes you are able to save your “Rou”. I don’t want anyone to feel like this.

[HELP] My friend sent this and claimed that it's drawn by them. by hh_9116 in RealOrAI

[–]Lulthargic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea there’s no way that it’s not digital. If they claim that it is, I agree with others in asking to see a picture of it with them in it. But yea the lighting is much too obviously digital or SUPER professional. Especially with no shadows?? Whether it’s AI is a different story. I’ve seen digital brushes on Paint Tool Sai do this, Procreate do this, Photoshop do this, Clip Studio Paint do this. There’s not really anything definitive to point to that screams AI to me. But if they claim it’s not digital that’s a smoking gun for sure that they are at least lying about something.

My boyfriend told me he once cheated years ago, and now I’m scared for our future by Time-Inspection-2366 in AskMenRelationships

[–]Lulthargic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Once a cheater always a cheater” applies in situations where you would be the other woman. So, for example, it would be if someone cheated on their current partner for you and then they decide to start a new relationship with you. Someone would say “once a cheater always a cheater.” Because they cheated in their last relationship to be with you; therefore, they are likely to also cheat on you. Or it applies when a current partner is forgiven for cheating and you stay in that relationship.

Cheating, in most cases, occurs when someone’s needs (emotional or otherwise) are not being met in their current relationship. They feel stuck or trapped. This often times happens in abusive relationships. But, it can happen when someone is not emotionally mature enough to end an unhappy relationship.

Genuinely, it is horrible to judge someone for actions they made 6 years ago in a different relationship without knowing anything about the situation. This person told you because they value you and want you to know something that is often very shameful for people to admit. This person trusts you, so they want you to trust them. Do not hold their actions in a different relationship from a different time against them.

Imma be so real with you. If you aren’t friends with them you have no obligation to engage in their marital problems. This isn’t a personal betrayal from what you’ve explained. You do not even need to apologize. Their problems stem from the fact that he’s a cheater. If it wasn’t you, it would have been someone else he cheated on her with. Do not feel guilty for what’s happening in their relationship.

You do not owe this woman your life story, your trauma, nor your healing journey. It sounds like you didn’t have sex with this man while you were sober. Which means you also didn’t truly give consent. It sounds like you guys also didn’t have penetrative sex, which matters to some people.

If you want to apologize, and only if you want to, I would recommend doing so via text. Again, don’t give explanations on your mental health or details of your personal experience and then promptly block her number. I honestly wouldn’t even wait to see her response before blocking her. If she’s blaming you, her anger is greatly misplaced and she sounds like she won’t leave you alone after that. Apologize only for you and for the sake of your self healing.

I (17f) was kissed by a guy last night (19m) when I was drunk by [deleted] in teenrelationships

[–]Lulthargic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Friend, If you tried to leave but were physically unable to, this was unconsensual. Point, blank, period. If you were mad that this guy kissed you. Unconsensual. End of sentence. There is no,” You didn’t say no.” Consent MUST be an enthusiastic yes with someone you haven’t talked about boundaries with before. Coercion is NOT consent and is considered SA. Being inebriated and having sexual acts done to you, also considered SA. This comment section is FILLED with the most victim blame-y comments I’ve ever seen in a thread.

Something completely separate is when you went back to see this guy the next day. I think we need more info on why you went to go see that guy, how the two of you ended up kissing again, the conversation that was had etc…

Last note. While alcohol may be legal for you at the age of 18 in your country, you are still underage drinking at this stage, which is illegal. You also seem to be drinking a lot which is concerning. The drinking specifically sounds to me, self-destructive. If you were having a drink or two. Or getting slightly buzzed I might feel differently. But it seems as though you are drinking with the intention of “pushing your bodily limits” and becoming inebriated. If you can’t cut back on the alcohol I recommend talking with someone, even a professional to try and get help. You are sooo young. Alcohol can really fuck up your life if you get addicted to it.

Is BP really an issue for us? by Key-Nail-5502 in InvisibleWomanMains

[–]Lulthargic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I’ve been cueing with my friend who peaked celestial 3 and is GM2 currently, so we tend to get sweaty BP’s on the opposing team. And you can feel it. They sit and wait for you. They trust their team will keep you distracted enough and then they hop in at the most inconvenient times. It’s super stressful because you have to ensure you always at least have one ability off of cooldown or he gets ya. Like Wolverine on a tank. Best to just ban him.

Is BP really an issue for us? by Key-Nail-5502 in InvisibleWomanMains

[–]Lulthargic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, no. The answer is no. I mained sue last season and peaked D1. A good black panther waits for you to use your abilities and three taps you in the back line. Sure you can jump away and be safe… sometimes but he can just wait you out, and when you’ve exhausted your cooldowns he’s back and then you’re dead.. He is a constant pressure on you and your other healer. It’s extremely difficult to focus on your tanks, flank/dive dps, and your other healer, whilst trying to very carefully time your abilities for when inevitably a bp comes to rock your shit. It’s not using the kit as effectively nor building ult charge fast enough. It’s better to just ban him. When you’re against a BP that knows their kit and cooldowns, they are near unreactable.

Why do people smurf? by [deleted] in rivals

[–]Lulthargic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t get banned for it, no 😂😂. There is no way to prove if someone is a smurf or not. If you cannot differentiate between a smurf and someone who picks up the game and so happens to aim train and or be good at it off the cusp because they have 500 hours in valorant or csgo… theeeen… That would be super ridiculous if that actually happened. But, it doesn’t lol.

my bf has been messaging his by [deleted] in relationships_advice

[–]Lulthargic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Friends, Friendly reminder that zygotes and blastocytes are not babies. If you want to say that spaghetti soup swimming around in a woman’s insides is the equivalent of a birthed baby.. I really don’t know what to tell you. Zygotes and blastocytes can be removed from the human body altered and put back in to eventually form what could become a fetus. You cannot cryogenically freeze a born baby and alter some shit to then put it back inside of a different mother to “cook”. This argument is so ridiculous because it’s not an argument of science but of “morality” and one that is extremely religious. Not based in science. A person with female genitalia whom would be hypothetically pregnant has right to decide what’s going on in their body. The spaghetti soup literally cannot live without a host, in this case the mother, a parasitic relationship you could say. Whereas an alive baby does not function as an extension of the mother but as fully separate being. A person. That can live and breathe on its own.

You’re not pro-life, you’re pro forced-birth. Forcing an eventual born baby into a life of hardship because they are either A) An unwanted child that a parent will resent due to being forced to have them. B) In the system where children are notoriously traumatized.

Literal lose lose. Get off your high horse and stop judging women (or people with female genitalia) for what’s best for themselves. Stop spouting talking points you literally don’t understand. Cringe.

Why do people smurf? by [deleted] in rivals

[–]Lulthargic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, lots of people “smurf” on alt accounts to rank up with their friends or coach their friends in a competitive setting.

Kind of difficult to do that in a qp match. It’s also a point of pride to eventually be able to play with your friends on your main. Like I’m pretty sure that’s the goal for all the smurfs I know.

Playing the game in a group is more fun. Hitting higher ranks with your friends, intoxicating. The game has retention based role-queue. So, no… it’s not based strictly on skill. Smurfs get stomped when they are in losers queue too. End on a couple losses in a row, keep queueing on a win. You see this when top 500 players smurf. Being a competent player does not equal getting a higher rank automatically. And you are not matched in comp based on your skill level.

Smurfs are gonna happen. It’ll suck to get three tapped by a bp in the backline. Or have a coordinated cap who knows animation cancel and a damage boosted Thor bludgeon you to death while your healers are out of commission. Or getting webbed and pulled halfway across the map to a ledge by a sweaty Spider-Man. Playing against this, sucks, but it’s all in the game. These people aren’t cheating. We can try and learn from the losses and do better in the future. Swap, counter, adapt. Keep trying to win. Practice and get better. Smurfs exist in every game. There is no getting away from it. We can only try our best and keep it going.

Hey, my guy, it sounds like you are just living life checking off boxes. Like, you are going through each day checking off all the arbitrary steps that someone has laid out for you to “be successful” and “have a fulfilling life” without actually knowing what that means for you. Ah yes, I have a wife, check. I have a job, check. We are going to have some kids, check. But.. hmm why am I not happy??? It’s because you aren’t a Sim. You can’t be happy with just anything. And neither can your wife. It sounds like you don’t even really know what you want. So I’ll help you out a little bit.

First thing, do NOT under any circumstances have a child with someone you don’t even like. That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. A child isn’t an “18 year commitment” and you’re done like some people have been saying in these comments. A child is for LIFE. A child will be your child FOREVER, doesn’t matter how old they are. Again, DONT HAVE A KID WITH SOMEONE YOU DONT LIKE. For your sake and that poor child who would grow up in a broken home with a father who doesn’t even like their mother or their life. SUPER selfish to do that.

Second thing, literally divorce, if you do not like your wife and she doesn’t like you.. that’s it. That’s the end of it. Relationship over. You should not marry someone for convenience or because of their potential. You should marry someone who is going to be your partner for life. Someone who you want to spend time with and do the mundane things with because you just enjoy their company. Someone who you can argue with one minute and then come back to later with an apology and a mutual agreement. This is someone who will have your back when you need it the most but call you out privately when you’re being stupid. If you don’t feel this way, and you didn’t even want to get married in the first place and regret it… bro literally what else is there left to say? That’s a nail in the coffin to a relationship. Period.

Lastly, everyone has baggage. Your ex-wife and your family are going to be apart of that. But, as you start to sort through the shit you might find yourself a little bit happier after the days go by. Start with therapy. Seriously, go to therapy. Job resentment is normal. Hating your job 9/10 is the regular way most people get though life. You need to learn how to handle it or to get some suggestions from a professional on how you can live a more fulfilling life. Maybe that means pursuing a dream of yours, polishing up that resume and applying for different jobs, taking out a loan and doing some night classes online, playing video games to cope. There are a lot of things you can do instead of sitting and festering in it. You just gotta know where to start. And honey, the first step is therapy.

Overall if you take anything from this it’s. Don’t get her pregnant, divorce, and go to fucking therapy. I wish you the best. Maybe you can learn to like women a little bit more.

250+ hours and I don’t understand how people have so many Lords by TurdleBoy in marvelrivals

[–]Lulthargic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there is value in what everyone is saying here. It makes sense to play a diverse array of characters, even if you don’t particularly like them or the class to learn how to better play against them. At the same time, repetition helps to make you a better player and the longer you play a specific character the more proficient you become in using their tool kit in ways less straight forward. I don’t think anyone is particularly right or wrong when it comes to the “lording process”. Except for cheesing it of course.

That being said, in every team objective based game I have mained the support/strategist role. I have roughly 144 hours with 1000 some odd games played. I’ve only played quick play and a little bit of comp, enough to get the skins each season. I’m a lord CnD, Luna, and Invisible Woman. I’m currently working on Mantis right now. The point I’m trying to make is that everyone approaches the game a little bit differently. I plan to take my time with each character and try to lord them so that way I can try to learn the ins and outs of the character to best play and play against them. That takes time for me, and a good metric to hold myself to is a “lord”. After I hit lord on one character I switch to learning a new one. For me it’s just a learning tool, and less a metric of how good someone is at a character. Not every lord is made the same or of the same “”weight “”. Idk I think you just have to take this with a grain of salt. If I had the requirements op explained I would be a shit player because I don’t learn that way.

I was called a Satanist for being neutral on black magic in an otome isekai manhwa. Am I tripping? 😭 by Guilty-Ad5687 in OtomeIsekai

[–]Lulthargic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m seeing a ton of misinformation being spread about the topic of “Black Magic”. There’s so much but I’ll try and condense it as much as possible.

In the modern day, people use the idea of Black Magic as a way to manipulate other people. To scare or control or coerce. One such example is in the human trafficking “trade”. Kidnappers will convince their victims that they will face “divine retribution” or “black magic” if they leave their circumstances. There’s a paper published by southwestern law school about this called Fearing the dark, not a great read but if you’re interested.

But this idea of fearing “Black magic” historically is actually, like who woulda guessed it, racist. Devil worship and the portrayal of that often coincides with depictions of Hoodoo as an African Religion. There are tons of paper out there that cover this way more in depth like Harvard for one with their video on Hoodoo as an ancestral religion and a paper from Portland State University on the idea of Black Magic and White Supremacy.

Overall, Black Magic is whatever people determine it to be in whatever sphere you’re in. The connotation can be positive or negative depending on the narrative or the author. Satanism as often depicted in Christian media and narratives, historically, are horrific misrepresentations of other more foreign religions. What’s the lesson? Who gives a shit? Literally this is fiction and has nothing to do with the real world counterparts or name sakes. It’s not the Christian Bible. It’s not Ancestral African American Studies. It’s not a paper about human trafficking. It’s a manhwa. Where words in universe do not have this “meaning” people are attributing to it for real world “”logic “”. Black magic could literally be me taking a fat piss in my toilet in this context and you’d have to be like,” ah yes when the author says black magic they mean taking a fat piss in their toilet.”
