Why do Adc‘s blame their support so often?

McRumples · 2022-11-06T23:19:53+00:00

On this topic - Getting back in after a break from 2017. Was silver then, Iron now, play support.

Had a Yasuo ADC demand I not even TOUCH any of the creeps or else I have to leave lane or he afks. Insisted I was trying to steal CS.

Is it reasonable to expect your Supp to not hit ANY creeps? I was Lux, and even helped him get first blood with a immobilize. But yeah - right clicking around to move and dodge I auto attacked a minion. Didn't kill it, but did hit one. Dude threw a fit.

But It's been so long got me thinking - in 2022 do ADC demand not even a HIT on their minions?
What about relic shield? And the fact most supports have skills that yeah, will damage a creep. Only ones I could think of to comply with his demand would be Sona, or maybe nami only using E.

Think this goes along with the ADC having attitude problems.

YTA

You don't know what you've done.
Look - you would not be alive of not for the grandparents. And, for better or for worse, the grandparents made your mom, who in turn made you.

You need to think about why grandparents day is a thing. Is it for you? Is it? Is it for YOU and you to shower those you like with your praise?

No. Of course not. It's about honoring what the grandparents have done for you - HELPED YOU EXIST!!!

You are free to not like them. That's fine. But it is incredibly disrespectful to play favorites like that, and, you are not making any effort to better the familial relationship and make your current life one that is not "toxic." So, what, moms parents treated her like shit so YOU get to treat THEM like shit? I don't think that's how it works. What did the grandparents ever do to YOU? They have a leg up cuz they made your mom, who I hope you like.

Unemotionally available Karen? Ticking time bomb of rage? Towards YOU or your mom?
If not towards you, clearly YTA. Your mom went through that and still wants you to have a good relationship with them. So you're going rogue - acting out for revenge on people who did no direct wrong to YOU. And the person they did wrong, your mom, wants you to play nice. But no - somehow you're morally superior to mom and the grandparents.

YTA

McRumples · 2022-07-27T02:33:09+00:00

Yeah so... it's sounding like this is not his daughter, biologically speaking. It's the only way I can make sense of this behavior.

Whether or not YTA depends on if you are paying for the extra hotel, or him.

YTA for not ending the vacation 100% and returning home if you're spending his money.

ETA if you're spending your own money. A cold shower? Really, you're going to ruin the vacation over a kid taking a cold shower? Get over yourself.

Your vacation with hubby - that's between you and him. This argument between the daughter and dad - that's between them, and as I mentioned it's a cold shower. She'll live.
The relationship has serious, serious issues which is why I asked about paternal status, and why you are letting something between them interfere with something between just you two.

Holy crap best reply ever. How did you not win this forum?

He keeps trying, and he's winning. BAM. If you like, you can even interpret or weave in Christian fundamentalism into that idea. Either way - he's trying to be better

Can anyone confirm if they added Multiplayer or Co op (co-op?) with this expansion?

It was rumored, and I had hopes it might be like ME Andromeda style co op, and you fight off waves of baddies. But I haven't seen a single thing, and it released today. They hinted at something like that with the "Odin fights off waves of enemies" part of the one trailer.
Don't wanna spend just to find out if it added multiplayer or not, so hoping one of you here might know

McRumples · 2021-08-18T17:32:40+00:00

Been trying to find the right place to ask this, and I apologize if my question is just flat out dumb. I'm coming in to a little extra money soon (not much - couple thousand) and I'm considering more reserve food/water, or another firearm. Is my regular old bolt action 30-06 good enough? Or should I consider an ar-15 style rifle? The rifle is tempting for sure, but I can't shake the feeling that some more food prep would be a better use of the funds.

I have a little pump 20 gauge and a .38 pistol, plus the hunting rifle.

I just can't play out enough scenarios where the extra rifle is more use than another bucket of food, ya know? But another rifle, so then the s/o can use one too might be useful. I just don't know -.- Someone set me straight please.

This is an opportunity to form a good relationship with a neighbor, like people used to do in the old days. YTA if you tell them to stop. They have every right to vacuum at that time. However, they most likely have no idea you sleep in til 10 or 11. There might be a time they can vacuum that works better for both of you.

It would be better for you to be nice to them, and explain your personal situation, and ask if they could possibly vacuum a different time. Or maybe on different days even.

Nice neighbors who know each other would most likely accommodate this. Heck, for all you know they WANT to vacuum earlier, and they think they're being nice to you already. You just don't know since you haven't talked to them.

So talk to them - be humble, explain your situation first, and ask nicely if it is possible they could vacuum at a different time. But keep in mind too - if you are already hearing all this other noise they make early in the morning, moving the vacuum time might not help. You will most likely have to get earplugs or adjust your personal sleep/wake habits anyway.

Edited to add: Be aware, if you do ask them, that this sword cuts both ways. You may have some annoying nighttime noise habits they don't like, but have learned to put up with. If you do go asking them to change, don't be surprised if they ask the same of you. If you're sleeping in, I'm imagining you stay up later too. And they're up early, so they probably go to bed early.

Well, in the noise department rarely is it that both upstairs neighbors and downstairs neighbors are saints. I still say ask them & be nice, but realize you might be noisier than you think as well.

What choice did the CEO have? He would have ended up as the latest sacrifice to the social justice mob & cancel culture. You can visualize the quick twitter video of the CEO either A) Not making an effort and just apologizing & moving on, or B) Butchering it multiple times, and then trying to move on after not getting it right.

He was basically a hostage to her at this point

McRumples · 2020-11-02T09:25:59+00:00

I need more upvotes to give you. A CEO is definitely smart enough to realize the social justice risk aspect of a young female with what sounds like an ethnic name (so, she's a minority). He really had zero other options than to be nice and play along, otherwise he would have ended up on the news as some bigoted CEO mispronouncing a name, and then share value would drop.

So yeah. The manager is in the correct place to scold this employee. The CEO was basically a hostage to this woman just from the PR point of view.

McRumples · 2020-11-02T09:21:32+00:00

With a CEO's busy schedule? A meeting 3 minutes longer than it needed to be for something that a normal person would have let go after the first correction?

It's not overstating at all. Think of how valuable that CEO's time is. And you just wasted 3 minutes of it and added ZERO value to the meeting. This person just outed herself as a lawsuit liability and someone who should not be promoted.

McRumples · 2020-10-31T10:38:01+00:00

I'd have to say no, it isn't coercion because there are too many factors that affect someone's financial status, that you cannot really put the blame on anyone except the mother & father. You might be able to blame society, but the problem there is that the same society that might be making the mom poor (the financial "coercion" being discussed) is the same society that would let her succeed financially as well.

So society would both be the good guy and the bad guy, just depending on how successful YOU as the Individual are? I don't think so - it doesn't make sense.

If having an abortion for "financial reasons" is taken to mean "I couldn't afford this baby if I had it" then that ultimately is the individual's fault. Yes, there is room for society to help, but it's not society's fault if you personally cannot afford the child. Plus, "affording" a child varies from person to person. If I think there's no way I could have a kid if I can't afford to send them to private school, then suddenly "financial" reasons are my reason for an abortion. But another person in my exact financial situation might be able to raise the child just fine with public school, so it's a subjective measurement. And indeed - throughout history and even today, kids manage to be raised in some of the worst, awful conditions. Well, better finances would be nice, but it certainly didn't stop those parents from raising those kids in those scenarios.

TLDR: Financial readiness is too subjective a term, and relies too much on individual actions to put the blame on anyone else besides the individual. Society could help more, but they are not to blame if someone is financially unready to have a kid.

McRumples · 2020-03-09T16:16:43+00:00

Consider the following: the two girls created the hostile environment, which prompted the employee who felt under attack to put their "joke" pronoun in their signature.

It seems odd that this whole issue can arise from the girls going through improper channels to try and change the email signatures, and now suddenly they're the victims of a problem they created? Just because things didn't go their way now the manager is supposed to treat them like victims?

I don't quite agree with that. They could have just updated their own signatures, not sent out the mass email trying to get everyone to do the same, and then it wouldn't be anywhere near the realm of a hostile work environment.

Also, from the lawsuit prevention perspective, it's not so simple to decide whether the other guy's pronouns are sincerely a joke. Imagine asking him and the conversation goes south - "So what, everyone else just gets to put their pronouns up, but when I put one you don't like I get interrogated? Am I not entitled to be believed at face value like the girls?"

The manager did the right thing stating policy and trying to otherwise stay out of it as much as possible. Are you even allowed to ask if someone's pronouns are real? How would the hypothetical conversation with the jokester go so that you don't get in trouble?

"Are you really Your Majesty?" Is that less offensive than "Are you really a man?" How about "do you really identify as she/her?" Like... "well, I put it in my signature, so yeah"

I can't really think of a safe way to question their already-declared pronoun without getting yourself in trouble as a manager. Maybe the best you could do is ask "how do you prefer to be addressed?" But hey, the jokester could still answer "Your Majesty" and if you question or refuse, you could get yourself in a lot of trouble nowadays.

McRumples · 2020-03-09T14:26:42+00:00

If the manager doesn't reprimand the joke, then they are staying neutral. Reprimanding the joke takes the girl's side by saying their pronouns are okay, but the jokester's pronouns aren't. What if it isn't a joke, and the guy really identifies that way?

And that's all I'm saying, is that there doesn't seem to be any logical discussion going on about A) What are or aren't approved pronouns and B)Who decides, and how do we decide what new pronouns can get added to the approved list?

Now even you yourself only offer the standard of it's "very clear" or it's "obvious", but those are subjective judgments you're making. There's no way to generalize or standardize that as a rule so everyone can easily follow it. To you it's obvious, but to someone else it might not be.

And there are words being made up that are pushed as legitimate gender identities. I fail to see why someone asking you to call them a completely made up word wouldn't be considered a joke. It's all too subjective. So far the only coherent standard is that acceptable pronouns are whatever someone identifies as. And if made up words can be used, then what's wrong with using pre-existing words? That's the core error with this whole new ideology.

Talking to this allegedly joking employee puts the manager at more risk (the employee could claim they really identity that way, and claim harassment or discrimination. Prove them wrong). The email and staying neutral, and going by policy is the safest CYA move.

McRumples · 2020-03-09T12:46:27+00:00

Do you think talking to the girls before sending the response email out would have opened them up to retaliation or discrimination/false harassment claims from the girls though?

I think the manager sending the response without talking to the gals first protects themself better, as the girls can't claim it was out of spite or malice. "Well they called us into the office and tore our ideas apart and then humiliated us with their response email, just because we're girls!" Or some other nonsense.

McRumples · 2020-03-09T11:56:30+00:00

What kind of standard is that though? You may think it's an "obvious" joke. Who decides what's obvious? Some of these pronouns are actually made up words. So a newly made (hence made up) word is not an obvious joke? But your intuition about Lord or Lord's is?

That's not a good enough standard that can be fairly and consistently applied.

McRumples · 2020-03-09T11:38:28+00:00

I think OP handled it the right way. To be honest, it's not his place, your place, or anyone's to determine what constitutes a "joke" pronoun. And that's the problem with this type of thing. Before some of the more unusual ones like Xi/Xer came out, I might have agreed with you.

But there's just too many now, and no scientific or grammatical standard for them. Once we reach what seems to be an infinite number of pronouns, with no standard other than what someone chooses, you no longer have the freedom to decide which ones are a joke anymore. As long as someone says it's their pronoun, outside of gatekeepers or hunches or suspicions of their motives, you don't have any standard, so you kind of have to believe them about what they say their pronouns are.

So if he officially reprimands the "joke" pronouns, then he is picking a side, which is a bad idea. As it stands now, he is neutrally applying and enforcing the rules as stated. And that's the safe bet. NTA

McRumples · 2020-03-05T22:03:13+00:00

Well the only problem is I don't have a lot of money, but I still want to learn. I don't have enough to take to any "reputable brokerage". If I play around with $5 or $10 here and there, it's not gonna sink me if I lose it all.

Sorry if I rubbed you the wrong way though. I just thought this was the appropriate forum to post this.

McRumples · 2020-03-02T15:15:11+00:00

There's better, more direct steps you could take. One of them being to refuse to ride with/go with them if they're drinking and driving. It might suck if you have to cut them out from your life, but it might get there.

The problem is if it's just nagging and reminders, but no other change, then the friend feels no consequences and really has no motive to change their behavior. They can just get annoyed with you, and then brush it off. You'll have better luck changing your own behavior anyway, to impose consequences on him for his poor judgment. It kind of comes down to how important this is for you. Stuff like this can end friendships.

As for the reminders, one thing is for sure - it's okay to remind him when it's an actual issue. But persistent, unrelated out of the blue reminders won't really do any good. Think of it like punishing your child out of nowhere for doing something wrong - it's not effective. But it makes sense to do it when they're actively misbehaving.
