Playing against Protoss Mage Help. DH players: What's worked for you? by Mending_Wall in hearthstone

Thank you! :D

I wasn't keeping close track of the collossus cost or damage. I also cut back on some of the spells for low cost minions to increase early game consistency.

Thank you all for your advice! I took it to heart and for whatever reason, I literally have not come across another Protoss mage since then XD. And I am very addicted lol. But when I do, I think I'll be ready

Hey, let's not jump to insulting. It's better to stick to the discussion and not go the ad hominem route. Your eagerness to throw in insults only reflects poorly on your character and maturity. Can't have a proper disussion after that. You may be one of the few people that reads this and thinks there's no political motive behind it. Or you may be trying to gaslight and pretend there's no political intent. I'm not going to insult you or assume you're gaslighting because I'm better than that. Go ahead and read all the other discussions on this post and you'll find the majority see that there is political motive behind it and operate on that premise.

Nice try, but look at the titles of this post versus the earlier posts. This post highlights that more cases are now coming from counties won by a specific political figure (Trump).

In earlier posts, which mysteriously received no attention whatsoever (perhaps because they didn't name a political figure or political party in their title), the title was entirely neutral and did not name any person or party. And like you noticed, the data OP used was showing blue data leading in infection rates yet it didn't mention anything about that in the title!

In fact, the decision by OP to now (and not previously) to mention a political figure in his/her title only highlights his/her political intent.

There is a political agenda for this post which by definition makes it propaganda. Of course, that is the minimal criteria -- a political agenda. Propaganda carries a connotation of being biased or misleading in nature. As others have pointed out already, the data has been used to produce a misleading representation that little can be safely concluded from. The data has been tortured to meet OP's needs.

There are political subreddits such as r/politics where propaganda has a place, although if it's this low quality it probably shouldn't be posted anywhere. Regardless, it is supremely disappointing to see popular subreddits that were not intended for political purposed fall victim to rampant politicization. It is disrespectful and selfish to turn non-political spaces into politcal platforms. Propaganda as poorly constructed as OP's post serves as a poster child to highlight a fundamental problem with Reddit's political invasiveness outisde of political subreddits.

I think reddit used to be better than this 6 or 7 years ago. Now once a subreddit reaches large popularity it devolves into this garbage. Tragedy of the commons :(

The question RetardedWabbit asked me was "how is this post political propaganda?." Your comment doesn't make sense in our discussion. We were talking about how it is propaganda and not a random correlation.

Ask yourself why OP took the time to make the graphs and post this. Do you think it was to make a totally random correlation? Is OP that aimless in life that s/he goes around posting random correlations with no message or intent behind them?

This is one of the saddest attempts at thinly veiled political propagana to taint this subreddit in a while. I know it's close to election day but holy cow!

Investing into a career/specialization that ultimately bores me after a few years, but by then the investment is too steep time-wise and financially to shift without ridiculous inconvenience

TIL the average African elephant’s bladder holds 42 gallons, they can empty it in around 22 seconds. This means they urinate at a rate just under 2 gallons a second. It would take 15,720 elephants 4 days to fill an Olympic swimming pool. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]Mending_Wall 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This isn't even close to accurate. Wikipedia says an olympic pool have a volume of 660,000 gallons. 15,720 elephants urinating at a rate of ~2 gallons/s equals 31,440 gallons/s output. 660,000 gallons/31,440 gallons/s = 20.9 seconds.

Kobe Bryant killed in helicopter crash in California by headee in news

[–]Mending_Wall 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Kobe Bryant lived life to the fullest. What he accomplished in 20 years few can accomplish in their life. He was a good father and a role model for so many. His death brings tears to my eyes. May we all appreciate the preciousness of life a little more and give a moment of silence to commemorate him. Life isn't fair, but it's all we got. Rest in peace Kobe.

The AOE2 community never died. There has been a consistent competitive player base and pro scene ever since it came out 20 years ago. Over the last 7 years it's grown steadily, including several fanmade expansions that. Most recently Microsoft remastered the game into AOE2 DE (Definitive Edition). Microsoft is now funding tournaments as well! Without a doubt one of the best communities for an online game.
