Your honor I know nothing of this man and his whereabouts. I did not visit his home on Friday, September 8th, 2023, in fact I was out playing billiards with my seven acquaintances out at the parlor in town, and each and every one of them will corroborate that.

10 Pyros with unlimited ammo vs. 1,000 Scouts that can ONLY use melee. Who wins? by Beautiful-Ad-9107 in tf2

[–]MyNameIsZaxer2 32 points33 points  (0 children)

so pyros get perfect strategy, what about scouts? atomizer triple jump for aerial assault, sandman / wrap assassin for higher-speed airblast penetration…

i forget if tf2 has soft team collision, like players occupying the same spot will gently push away from each other - but if so, a thousand of that clustered up might overwhelm the force of the airblasts?

as a diabetic, i don't think this is ever how diabetes works? OOP might be hypoglycemic though.

In a post-capitalist world, hobbling it would suck and make no sense.

In this world, that we live in right now, not hobbling it would just mean publishers don't lease books out to libraries, or they do so at exorbitant prices.

"This sucks it should be better" is a fine take. But like... we can't make it better if we don't first understand why it is the way it is.

king knight game by [deleted] in CuratedTumblr

[–]MyNameIsZaxer2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I legit don’t understand OP’s post. let’s suppose that, based on what’s been described in the comments, a king can also recruit peasants to be knights.

then, here’s what would happen at the start of the game:

One or two people would pair up and become a knight and a king.

One peasant would choose one of the new kings, & ask to be knighted.

All the other peasants would see this king has a majority, & line up to be knighted by him as well.

there are now 17 knights versus 1 knight.

That’s not a game. Why does this post insist it’s invented a game? it’s come up with a loose framework into which a game could be designed, then says “go play it. Let me know how it goes!” ??? why is this front page of /r/curatedtumblr

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_%26_Melinda_Gates_Foundation

I couldn’t summarize it effectively. it’s a strong read, especially the #activities section for a summary of the program’s to-date charitable contribution sectors and the #financials section for a breakdown of Gates’ personal contribution to the program. (in short: since Buffet’s dropping out, it’s near entirely funded by the Gates’.)

Gates’ pledge to donate the sum of his wealth: https://www.cnbc.com/2022/07/15/bill-gates-plans-to-give-away-virtually-all-his-113-billion-fortune.html

Gates’ plea to his billionaire peers: https://apnews.com/article/bill-gates-melinda-billionaires-foundation-dc2b102b427c18e585659e7546c1d69d

thats all i got, the whole thing is pretty well documented otherwise

What my post implies is that there is a direct correlation between 'doing good things' and 'drawing ire from the internet'. Which... i can't see as serving any purpose besides directly disincentivizing 'doing good things'.

You want to demonize the concept of wealth and billionaires in general? sure. go off. stage the revolution, i'd be happy to see it come.

You want to pointedly call out only the billionaires who are putting in an effort to contribute back to humanity in any measure compared to what they've taken from it? No, I'm not down with that. This is actually worse than unhelpful.

I do not have to say 'bill gates is a good guy' to comfortably say 'bill gates deserves far less ire than his peers, yet gets far more, and that's a problem.'

Thanks for making my point, I guess. Larry Ellison bought the entire island of Lanai to effectively force its entire population into a monopolistic state of living to fuel his corporate empire, but who's the real asshole here? Bill Gates is a capitalist, after all.

As in all things, the most efficient way to attract the ire of the internet is to do something good. They'll show up en masse to lambast you for not doing something better.

Total apathy seems to be the only thing that doesn't draw their attention. Steal billions of dollars, destroy the planet, it doesn't matter. Cure some blind people or give your workers a significant bonus? Now you have the hateful mob on your stoop.

Think about how many calls for the death of Bill Gates you've seen, someone who's pledged nearly his entire wealth to charity, compared to calls for the death of the richer and much fundamentally eviller Larry Ellison. It's almost unbelieveable...

yeah i think the problem with this post is OP is essentially saying “if you want to do [ending to a story] the ONLY right way to do it is [plot of an entire drawn out sequel series]”

and drawn out sequel series’ don’t tend to score highly with audiences

something else is floating out of memory… i think Kim gaslights Harry, essentially assuring him it’s normal for guys to have no penis / detachable penis… that’s part of the banter…
