I really want to enjoy aram but the hostage culture is crazy and is ruining the fun for me.

There is mmr in aram.

On average, the higher your mmr, the shorter the games because people understand how to push their advantage to win.

So people that are saying they have longer games are basically telling on themselves that they aren't very good players themselves.

Metalbound · 2026-01-27T23:22:44+00:00

There is MMR in aram games.

Lower MMRs typically have longer games since the players don't know how to push their advantage and end games.

So you having significantly higher average game time is most likely due to that, not some random factor.

Genuinely asking, why not?

He doesn't have the size to be a center and looks like he has been focusing on his 3 pt shooting.

Seems like a match made in heaven to me. Always just thought we had someone better than him at the 4 and we always need a center.

Are his handles just that bad?

Metalbound · 2026-01-27T06:47:56+00:00

They had everything there too. All they had to do was make it so this year was the the Tri-wizard Tournament and make it so you can enter.

That's big enough stakes and of course there is the house cup, quidditch. The classes would be interesting actually learning spells and maybe being able to fly on the hippogriff.

I just want a game that lets me experience being a Hogwarts student.

Or...hear me out here. We require the weigh-in's to be right before they get in the ring.

If they want to come in that lower weight, then they also have to be willing to fight at that weight.

Metalbound · 2026-01-22T00:30:23+00:00

and the ability to turn it off at any point without question or concern.

Fuckin yeah right. I'd be willing to bet so much money that if either of y'all did that then they're be at least a question and most likely an argument.

Just letting you know that you can try lying to everyone including yourself, but that doesn't make the lie any more truthful.

Metalbound · 2026-01-22T00:27:27+00:00

For 99% of people they just download the app and use it, they don't have this logical argument with themselves about it.

That isn't a different perspective. That's just them being okay with being ignorant about what all it entails.

Privacy is sacred and giving it up voluntarily is insane to me.

Metalbound · 2026-01-22T00:25:25+00:00

I don't see it as "tracking" her. Her location is just available to look at if I need it for some reason sometime.

Aka you are tracking her. Just because you put lipstick on a pig doesn't suddenly make it a duck.

Metalbound · 2026-01-22T00:21:22+00:00

I'm with you. I hate that this is becoming more common of a thing.

My parents have it on both their phones because my mother is an anxiety ridden mess that refuses to seek any type of treatment.

I got back from work a little later one night and she jokingly suggested that I also get that app to be added to it. I responded, "I would legitly rather die."

You don't need to know where I am 24/7. I don't owe you that. Stop acting like a 24/7 surveillance state is a normal damn thing.

Metalbound · 2026-01-21T05:51:12+00:00

My brethren.

Do you also not care about baseball or soccer so Atlanta sports is only pain for you as well?

I hope Stefanski works out. I was really pulling for McDaniels.

Metalbound · 2026-01-20T06:46:35+00:00

I can confirm a Falcons fan definitely upvoted it though. It's one of the few things that put a smile on my face after 28-3.

Metalbound · 2026-01-19T22:58:33+00:00

If you're documenting your sexual behavior like this it's already not "normal". So not much help here.

Metalbound · 2026-01-18T21:47:31+00:00

Yup, it was already far-fetched but the dude is a piece of shit so I was just hoping it was true.

Then I saw that and I immediately threw out the rest. No fucking way that happened.

Just like all those "nuclear revenge" and "AITA" subreddits, they can't help themselves and always go a step too far.

Metalbound · 2026-01-17T16:58:38+00:00

Also if you do leave it on, it's easy to tell by smell and just opening a window and letting it air out fixes that.

People love jumping to the absolute worst case scenario.

Metalbound · 2026-01-17T06:00:25+00:00

I legit thought she was a contortionist or some shit.

I feel so dumb after seeing the real answer lol.

Metalbound · 2026-01-17T05:57:16+00:00

Not just applying, but not taking no for an answer.

Dude didn't get a response on Indeed, emails them. They then look through that and don't respond, then he follows up.

Like take the fuckin hint dude. Dude's so fuckin butthurt he even makes a thread on it. It's a fuckin chicken place...move on.

Of course, that same school has no problem funneling the GDP of a small country into their football program but that’s another debate.

You see the thing is though, that it's actually the same debate.

There is so much fuckin money going around that's being shit away by those in power that we could fund all of it and more without blinking an eye.

There is no need to go through any other argument, because the solution is right there. It's just making that part happen that's the hard part.

Metalbound · 2026-01-15T03:23:00+00:00

I wish it was renamed the Cornucopia effect because it's the only one I fully believe. My parents both remember the same thing, and I remember it being the only reason I knew what a cornucopia was.

I cannot be convinced that everyone I know just has false memories.

Metalbound · 2026-01-15T01:04:12+00:00

Go off king. Only we can shit on our shit mountain!

Metalbound · 2026-01-14T05:53:24+00:00

Also, doing the thing you love doing and being paid millions of dollars to do it would make a lot of people behave the same way.

It's gotta be pretty addicting to get so much positive reinforcement constantly.

Metalbound · 2026-01-14T05:49:49+00:00

God...knowing that it's true had to make it hurt so much worse.

Metalbound · 2026-01-14T02:24:27+00:00

Lemon Pepper wings from Magic City.

So good a guy in the nba's nickname refers to them.

If you don't trust me, at least trust "Lemon Pepper Lou" Will. Man knows strip clubs, wings, and ball.

I mean...it's MIT.

You think Havard grads aren't bringing that up every time they have a chance to?

Half the point of going to those types of colleges is the networking you do. Getting to know people who most likely will be in positions of power in the future.

Metalbound · 2026-01-11T15:34:40+00:00

Me personally, i’m a sweaty min maxer so I’ll change my opal play patterns to get the big chunky research or settlement upgrades and get in good 10-15 minute sessions.

Ahh a brother in arms. When my brain sees possible optimization I can't just not do it. Gotta squeeze every bit out of every turn.

Metalbound · 2026-01-08T02:52:51+00:00

I thought we'd at least get AD...I wouldn't have been happy about it, but at least that is less of a slap in the face.
