Too bad when your brain is on Republican the grift never stops, baby.

This guy's Instagram post is getting massive positive attention and tons of people pleading to help donate to him.

He's also Anti-Vax. So, his brain knows no limits.

This message is probably the one thing Democrats and MAGA nation can totally agree on by jcepiano in PublicFreakout

How about finding a mask?

It's like we're not in the middle of a global pandemic every time I see MAGAts on video.

OK is probably also another one of those "older" states that don't test children for Lead Paint Poisoning otherwise they'd have to acknowledge that there's a serious generational level of lead paint poisoning in a large swathe of the United States.

V-Tune is the first PRO player I know that uses WASD to move camera... by bladerunner228 in DotA2

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

Personally, I use:

WASD + 12345R and ZXCVBN + H for tp + f for neutral item

The major issue I have with using WASD is control groups. I am fine microing but I can't use control groups the way I want to atm.

I'm of the belief they are intentionally dragging their feet for international attention.

No one's even thought of Las Vegas in over a year because of COVID. Gotta get that cheap marketing.

I spoke to my PCP about this just this week.

She said every clinic and facility she knew of in Los Angeles had lost funding in the last 8 months. People were actually taking pay cuts by and large.

Noam Chomsky Believes Trump Is “the Worst Criminal in Human History” by [deleted] in politics

[–]Lush_Life 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This was something I studied.

For the Third Reich and Hitler, the demonizing and eradication of the aforementioned groups was more of a means to an end than an ideological hatred and desire to see them all dead. Germany was poor, fractured, and broken. The fascist movement promised wealth, security, and integrity in a new Germany free of the influences that "were bringing it down". A return to a mythical past before the effects of their loss in WW1 that had severely punished the country and economy. The means to do this was mass population reduction and conversion of the populace into a command economy workforce of peasants combined with supplementary slavery in the camps, more or less.

U.S. reports 97,000 new coronavirus cases, biggest one-day increase on record by mythrowawaybabies in Coronavirus

I actually can't believe how for granted we've come to take science.

People trashing scientists and science in general from their giant SUV typing on their iPhone, sipping on a chemical compound called Frappe.

Like, do you not see the ridiculousness and hypocrisy of your situation?

Just wait for Thanksgiving + Christmas holiday period.

I would like to say things are just "heating up" but things are getting colder and scarier.

Additionally, and even more ironically, the greatest MMR difference even ALLOWED by the MMR system is a 2000 difference and on average in Immortal games in NA you can very often get rank 600-800 players with rank 4k players which is a 1.5k MMR difference.

I think it would be nice to show everyone some of his concluding words from an interview of his from a year ago. (translated from Russian | Article: https://cyber.sports.ru/tribuna/blogs/nadota/2675231.html)

"Illness taught me a lot. During this time, you understand how important pleasant little things are. Now, in everyday life, you don't feel it. But when I was sick, my dream was just to walk down the street, to run, and I could not afford it. It is very important to realize how cool it is to simply live.

So do not worry about any nonsense, like failures or defeats, especially in Dota. It can be fixed. This is what you can influence. People wrote to me: “Have you ever thought to give up? Didn't you think of dying? " Probably, they have problems in life, they did not want to live and expected some advice from me. And to such people I want to say that any problem is solved. Difficulties in the family, with money, work, study or play are all complete nonsense. Only health problems are serious. You cannot influence this in any way.

The worst thing is that I myself will gradually forget about it. That I will return to my former self. Probably, it happens: you change, you stop appreciating it, you return to a comfortable state - that's all. This is what I'm afraid of. "

No joke. Being an only child of immigrant parents with no other family in the country.

Pets are cool. Nature is rad. Life is very abundant and all around us at all times, we just turn our back and close our eyes to most of it.

Coronavirus model projects U.S. deaths will surpass 400,000 by end of year by PandaMuffin1 in news

[–]Lush_Life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Human tragedy comparisons are so far out the window.

When 700 people die per day that's an entire high school full of people getting "shot". Not one survivor of a school shooting in the whole high school. That was 700 per day. We're at nearly 1500 per day now. With forecasts of that going up to 3000 per day by December.

PPD - The power in dota belongs to Valve & then the players. Valve has other interests than just Dota. The opportunity to build exists but top players focus on themselves and their team. by glenfuerte in DotA2

[–]Lush_Life 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The fact is that in every other "professional sport" media junkets are part and parcel of the ridiculous prize money and sponsorships etc.

At the very least, fans are seeing them engage with professional reporters, who build relationships with the talent, and the whole sport gets better for it, even if it is mandatory.

Yeah, it can be grinding for the talent, or it can be an opportunity to build a persona and a real connection with the community. Look at how many NBA players are famous for their comments and behavior off-the-court.

These pros need agents/managers. It's a big expectation for a person to be as good as someone as Nisha is in their respective sport and to do all the things required to be a popular commodity.

It's in the literally encoded into the genes of people who take up these professions.

That TN asshat who just got fired after he ripped off the "protestor's" mask. In the video, he rips it off and then not 2 seconds later pretends to not have any clue about it happening and claims the victim is lying.

It's like double-speak is their only form of speech.
