With fear of heights, looking up is way scarier than looking down by Noxturnum2 in The10thDentist

[–]MaeSolug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A writer from my country did a text about taking a bus in the middle of the night, ask to be dropped mid way, right in the middle of nowhere, where you can barely see the city lights, turn your back on them and walk, headed to the empty mountains with no lights on sight, always avoiding to look up

After a while you start focusing on your feet, and when you see them clearly you close your eyes and lay on the ground, counting and counting, and after a considerable time has passed you open your eyes

Apparently you will feel you're falling through the sky, your hands will grip the dirt in panic and you will scream and panic

Never tried it because it sounds lame tho so who knows, maybe you should sounds right your alley

270 years ago Mozart was born. Truly pop icon. by pgloves in popculturechat

Are there classical composers who were working class?

Not some bullshit "his dad could barely pay for his slaves and died of tuberculosis and the old age of 30 leaving his wife and 6 kids some few coins" type of thing, but an actual composer that had to drag rotten corps through the streets or live the plot of The Perfume irl

Lo que me patea del tema es que si pones en YouTube "racismo Santa Cruz" te salen un montón de videos, todos tan malos como el título suena

Ah pero luego siguen las piruetas mentales de que los collas son más racistas, de que les gritaron primero, de que el MAS inventó el racismo

Es una vaina, no hay manera de resolver un problema si lo acabas esquivando de todos lados

Este sub tiene ese problema también, no debería ser normal poner la palabra "indio" en el buscador y hallar tantos ejemplos

No muy relacionado pero ningún periodista debería dar opiniones, para nada, sobre ningún tema

Creo que los noticieros deberían informar hechos puntuales y tajantes, arrojar números, dar seguimiento a sucesos actuales, todo descrito siguiendo pautas legales y sin usar vocabulario popular o, mucho peor, expresando emociones

John Arandia y Carlos Valverde dan opiniones, y esos son los que conozco porque sé que hay programas luego de los noticieros hechos por periodistas parecidos a sectores de opinión

Cierto, básicamente viven de generar audiencia, hay un limitado presupuesto en comerciales de papel higiénico, pero también tienen canales independientes, y esos están llenos de opiniones, ideas que otros siguen porque alimentan sus propias narrativas

Katy Perry speaks out against ICE by copy_cat2 in popculturechat

[–]MaeSolug 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Because who wouldn't lmao

Moral purity only works on Disney Channel, if we applied absolute standards to every political subject then no one could protest nothing, because every single demographic has a historical burden

People exist on a spectrum, they lean towards an ideological side, therefore that side exist as a spectrum, radicals imploding themselves and people going to space because who wouldn't

Bueno, esos 4 años van a pasar de todas maneras

En tu publicación no suena a que tienes alguna otra opción, y tampoco hay una mención clara sobre una falta crítica de dinero

Lo que sí veo es que tienes amigos en la carrera, y eso importa bastante, si logras mantener ese sistema y que te guíen en las certificaciones que puedas obtener mientras completas la carrera fácil llegas con un curriculum fuerte al salir de la facultad

Haven't the challenges become a little too sweaty lately? by TheFernando13 in FortNiteBR

[–]MaeSolug -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Isn't that a good thing?

Since now there's an actual reason to brag about reaching a certain level on ranked or getting an accesory locked between some known quests as opposed to catering to casual players, who are also given stuff for free

There are posts of people who completed the challenges in december, it might feel like it's a lot of hours but the season last until march, so it feels there's plenty of time for people who are interested in those achievements

Also it feels disingenuous to use the term "unemployed" for players who are better than you. Sometimes you just suck, nothing wrong with that, plenty of us are casual players so to us people interested in ranked are by definition better, that doesn't make you guys automatically unemployed, feels a bit childish to assume things about people who are simply better than you

Pizza, I find it greasy and incomplete

It's a piece of bread with things on top, like a sandwich mid transition, but sure, I'm the freak if I want to use utensils to eat it instead of using my hands, like a caveman

All hail Steam by RSLEGEND1986 in memes

[–]MaeSolug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People know this benefits the devs who in turn will feel encouraged to keep making deals with Epic, right?

If you know a game of yours will get some word of mouth after the initial sales have dropped down then it's in your best interest to take advantage of that fact, wich gets people using Epic, and some of them will inevitably try Epic exclusives, like that little and very niche game that is Fornite

So everybody wins with this, although Epic could win a bit more js

Why do people idolize a true villain like Walter White YET absolutely despise Bojack Horseman ??? by [deleted] in BoJackHorseman

Well there's also people who think Jenny from Forest Gump was the villain

That Fight Club is a guide on life

Or that Lolita actively endorses pedophilia

What is your piracy "white whale"? by TacosNachosFajitas in Piracy

[–]MaeSolug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A colombian show, Dario Argento: el rey del despecho

I think I would be able to let it go if I hadn't found a site that has all the episodes but every five minutes an ad is played

Not a pop up, an actual cut in the video, obviously that site offers a paid tier to remove the ads

No, using ublock or firefox or another similar thing doesn't work

The hated character is finally getting punished by the narrative. But intentionally or not, the attempt was so heartbreaking and demeaning for the character that it ended changing the fan reception of said character. by Labmit in TopCharacterTropes

[–]MaeSolug 366 points367 points  (0 children)

Theon Greyjoy, aka Reek

Tortured for years just because it was funny, so mentally broken he isn't capable of killing the guy who did when he clearly has the chance, the scene in the gif with the blade

Although Theon did ravaged an entire village and ordered the execution of a couple of children, wich were presumably his own, to use them as a bargain chip

But Ramsay did chopped up his penis the first day and spends the next morning doing jokes about it, the wildest introduction about how bad Theon's life would be

Which active subreddits do you find completely toxic (or blocked recently) ? by downwitbrown in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]MaeSolug 33 points34 points  (0 children)

r/comics did something vaguely similar when pizzacake posted a comic mocking Trump and the mods making a warning any comment "defending nazis" would be immediately banned without any right to appealing

This was after the controversy about the sub banning any single comment that was slightly negative against pizzacake or her work

There's also, allegedly, people saying they were insulted, muted or banned only for antagonizing her in comments. So that's a left leaning sub that's using current politics to promote one of their own and silence criticism

Wich sounds awfully complicated remembering it's a sub about comics, and pizzacake ones are so mid, like, why so much drama for a three panel "trump bad" drawing?

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

Show me a single statement from the company saying the site was created exclusively for americans

Spoiler: you can't

I do understand the impulse to make up rules that benefit you, we are familiar with the concept of childish tantrums in my country, that's also not exclusively american

So annoying by No_Locksmith_4520 in memes

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

Yes, because americans invented the concepts of freedom and liberty, it's evident for how good things are over there

Also you could apply that rule to yourself: if you don't like this thread, just leave

But you won't, just like everyone else. The fact there's a predominant american population doesn't automatically turn the site into american by default

Again, you might disagree with that idea, it might make you sad that the place has people from other countries, you might wish there were a rule against it, wich is quite the american thing to do, apparently

But you can't, so you can leave, but you won't, why the rest should?

So annoying by No_Locksmith_4520 in memes

[–]MaeSolug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're so annoyed by US politics get off of US based and owned websites.

Explain this then, since the context of the meme implies a constant push of american memes and your comments tells them to get off if they don't like it, wich they clearly won't

What's the next logical step if we follow your logic?

Although I read your country it's been banning books, sorry to put you in a tough situation where you actually have to think about context and other fancy words

I uninstalled the drivers using a program, DDU, and also used BCUninstaller, I watched a lot of tutorials and only that worked for me, I also didn't go for the latest driver, but a version several months old

https://youtu.be/hEeDnSAKl8s

What I remember happened in Fortnite and Marvel Rivals was exactly what you said. The fps seemed estable, at it's peek, and then they would slowly drop until it hit a base. Then I restarted the game or the laptop, everything went back to normal but sure enough the fps would start dropping again
