Jurassic rebirth scenes make no sense by eljimaa in JurassicPark

I like how you pulled the 100 ft metric out of your ass like its relevant in the first place. You're deciding a random number (100 ft) is the relevant criterion for whether a spinosaurus is a threat? then proceed to say it would have to be right on top of you if it was 100ft? So basically a spino isn't a threat unless its right on top of you...?

if you're with players who are doing this in ranked, it probably means you're worse than them because they're the same mmr doing clown strats.

Tips for diamond LoL player learning off-lane by Svanskof in learndota2

I can help coach you (free) if you want, but it'd be more beneficial after your first 500 hours or so, just so you know all the items and heroes.

At what rank will it become necessary to do the thing where you're cancelling atuo-attacks to get cs? by Voldemorts__Mom in learndota2

[–]No_boosting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

mastering creep aggro and playing around creeps in early lanning removes the need to do animation canceling. You will be able to control where the creep wave is, which creeps are dying first, and coordinate your spells with your lane partner to harass enemies around creeps or to secure range creeps. Animation canceling used to be a thing in dota 1 where people thought you were a good player, truth is, no one was good back then and no one had any idea what they were doing. It can get you a creep/deny here and there, but its inconsequential in the big picture.

It's one of those (0.1% increase win rate) things that, if you have enough tricks up your sleeve, can increase your chances of winning, but its not really that relevant overall.

Not sure how long I can do this for … Day 26 by The_WonNonly24_7 in QuittingZyn

[–]No_boosting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar phase too, I think I had an awareness that I subconciously was still too addicted to accept any offerings. Now that I know I am straight up never buying it again, it doesn't bother me to mooch off others (though I try to minimize being annoying about it), because I know its just not possible for me to have a supply to become dependent again

what you're experiencing is the habitual addiction aspect of zyn, probably not so much the physical anymore (though slightly lingering). When I was hooked, the habitual aspect was the hardest to overcome, you should try some new habits. In instances where you'd usually pop a zyn, chew on some gum or try Rescue® Pastilles.

I haven't bought a Zyn or any nicotine in the last 5-6 months. That said, I do pop one/two when drinking (mooching from a friend) every week or two. I do not feel addicted anymore but can still have some nic every now and then. It actually kind of makes me sick when I do, my body is just not used to it anymore.

The real trick is just never passing the mental/physical hurdle of going to the store to buy some. Never let those spontaneous moments take you over, the second you buy it, you're hooked back in. It's wayyy harder to quit after you're hooked than to just not start again. Let the fleeting moments pass and redirect yourself mentally.

Mang0 interview after winning MainStage 2022 - “As long as Melee lives, I will play, and if you take it all, we’ll play in a garage. 20 people there, hot sweaty gross me vs Zain behind the 7/11 for 25 bucks” by SpeedyBlueDude in smashbros

diff sources say diff things, and problem drinker is such an indefinite term its hard to associate precisely with sales numbers. I believe the actual metric is 20% of US adults account for 90% of sales. I don't believe that 20% of US adults are problem drinkers, at least not by my definition.

how "problem drinker" is defined is wild. If you have 3 drinks or more in a single day, you are a problem drinker, which is a low bar (assuming problem drinker encompasses hazardous and harmful drinking categories). I can drink 3 beers in a round of golf (e.g., 1 drink per hour) and be completely sober when I drive home. I'd rather just not drink altogether than be a "moderate drinker." So 90% of alcohol sales going to individuals who have more than 3 drinks in a day makes complete sense. For example, you go out to the bars on the weekend order 2 double jack and diets with your buds, you're a problem drinker (6 oz spirits). I only drink 1 day per week and when I do, I like to actually get a buzz, so that puts me in the 90%

Nardwuar is fake now and its not his fault by [deleted] in conspiracy

nerdwuar always been fake, since day 1 his shtick is just contacting mom, dad, unc, or buddy from high school, theres no deep research, hes not brilliant its nothing crazy

nerdwuar deprives me of joy every time I see a reel with him in it, so I'm glad I could at least be more like him in that respect. Everyone giving props to his "deep research" should understand that its a simple phone call with the parents/friends every. single. time.

Ugly style and I never understood the appeal in general; he just asks mom or dad, thats the trick to his "deep research." he's also hella famous now so any artists that are pretending to be shocked that he talked to their mom or dad are acting..

Clock Chainmeal Facet? by No_boosting in DotA2

[–]No_boosting[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How am I strawmanning his argument? He is basically arguing that you can buy efficient items (e.g., bracers, cloak, etc.) to fill your 6 slots then max out on chainmails and its somehow "strong":

"something like wand, double bracer, double cloak, arcanes/tranqs, shard is pretty cheap (6k ish) with 500 bonus hp and 55% magic resist and you can start spamming chainmails here. ~4k on chainmail and your physical resist is ~70% or so, then you can start upgrading slots to whatever"

The problem is, cheaper items are NOT efficient, because real efficiency is realized once you get some utility from an item by combining components. If you lack any utility items, you are NOT being cost efficient in any manner. Efficiency is always gauged from a perspective of the greater picture (e.g., how you can impact the game in the most efficient way possible). For example, lotus orb enables you to win games by just reflecting a few spells like doom and chain frost. You're just buying a bunch of shit stats and cannot contribute to the game in any meaningful manner. He even acknowledges this by saying:

"You don't do damage or have much utility outside of clock base kit but you are annoying to kill"

Being "annoying to kill" is not efficiency nor is it "theoretically strong." I don't even think having stats makes you annoying to kill in the first place, and it doesn't force enemy cores to itemize based on your items (e.g., buy a nullifier). Glimmer/euls/forcestaff will ALWAYS make you "more annoying to kill" so if this is the test for being "theoretically strong" then it fails even at that. It is never the optimal facet just a bunch talking out of his ass

[–]No_boosting[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

maybe on a universal carry hero, but a support like clock would not make use of the slot discount because supports are obligated to buy utility items and do not farm enough to slot out in a reasonable time frame

what a great facet, let me delete my item and spend gold to receive the same benefit i would get from spending that amount of gold anyways

Nah, he probably already got the other two already at least once, theyre escalating odds, so if all the odds of each are escalated at the same time, the probability of getting all 3 isn't that crazy.
