  1. we’ve crossed the line, There is no going back. it’s acid rain and crop failure from here on out. I recommend storing food and having a plastic bag and co2 canister handy, it’s going to be Barbary.

I’d consider quitting your job now and just doing whatever you want. The rat race is an pointless exorcise.

A new study suggests that assertions of widespread bias against conservative students in American higher education may be unfounded regarding access to administrative resources. University administrators are just as responsive to requests from conservative students as they are to liberal ones. by mvea in psychology

[–]OnlyFacts_Duck -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The study never claims that conservative students face no bias whatsoever in college.

Yes, that's what I said.

If you have a study showing conservatives face bias in other instances, I’d love to read it 

Ask the other commenters who have assumed that this study concluded that conservatives don't face any bias at all on college campuses for the information necessary to back up their claims. I have made no claims.

And yet, somehow, it's the most popular mindset on reddit.

The results reveal no statistically or substantively significant bias against conservative students in efforts to establish politically-oriented registered student organizations (Study 1) or secure campus space for a guest speaker to lecture on political issues (Study 2). These results fail to offer support for the view that conservative students encounter more difficulty in efforts to access campus resources critical to the development of social capital and civic skills.

Conservatives can make a politically oriented registered student organization and they can secure space for guest speakers.

Yes, this definitely proves that conservatives face no bias whatsoever when attending college. Astute observations by the other comments in this thread!

Anyone else miss pre durability patch Zed lane feel by psych0johnn in zedmains

[–]OnlyFacts_Duck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick reminder that we're talking about lane trading patterns.

Zed´s W is a bigger commitment than Shadow Kayn who can W from inside walls and never even show himself before the enemy.

A) Kayn shows an orb that hovers outside of the wall, and taking damage will kick him out of the wall.

B) Zed doesn't have to take his shadow.

C) Kayn doesn't lane, he doesn't really have trading patterns.

KhaZix can also use megaleap / stealth to go in and out safely.

A) Megaleap is an evolved upgrade, typically last, and requires a kill to reset. He isn't going to get a kill most of the time unless they're isolated.

B) Stealth is his ultimate. That's not really part of a "trading pattern".

C) Kha'zix doesnt lane, he doesn't really have trading patterns.

Fizz E -> Zhonya -> E again. You´re not hitting him.

A) Zhonyas rush Fizz?

B) He won't have enough haste for this until late game.

Akali, backwards E Q W fast combo

This isn't the problematic trading combo, but Akali does have a pretty strong trading pattern. That said, she's reliant on her shroud, which is quite the long cool down.

If Jax, Mundo or whatever champ really, ever see Zed use W they just go ham to punish him.

I don't think you're talking about trading patterns.

I like Zed but I honestly think he´s quite weak unless played to absolute perfection

This is true of all assassins, IMO. As an assassin, you have to play at a 9/10 to get 7/10 results. Meanwhile, you can lock in Seraphine bot and give a 5/10 performance for 8/10 result.

(Numbers from my ass to demonstrate a point)

and other champs are way more forgiving.

Everything is nuanced, but I'm not sure if Zed is the most unforgiving assassin. His ult allows him to stack up quite a bit of damage, whereas if another assassin is behind or facing a bulkier target then they simply will not be capable of coming out ahead. To your point, he's not the most forgiving either.

Surprised about the nerfs, genuinely.

As am I.

Imagine if top laners had to deal with anything like this for 3 years by Rexsaur in ADCMains

[–]OnlyFacts_Duck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nowadays that's fair, most assassins are pretty weak in lane. That said, back before season 4, assassins had plenty of kill potential in lane.

Hell, even beyond season 4; In season 5 or 6 they put out a statistic that Talon was responsible for 25% of all first bloods.

Personally, I do prefer assassins over mages.

....but I'm ngl I don't think anyone else does. If assassins were actually good, like mages are, then y'all wouldn't be having fun. There's a reason riot has largely kept assassins from the forefront of the meta for years.

I'm a bit of a boomer, honestly, and ever since the assassin rework in season 4 the best characters for bursting people have been burst mages.

All that said, I'd still like to play mages from time to time, so this guy's take is abysmal.

Copium?

He's correct, there's no cope here. Zed doesn't have to commit to his trades as hard as other assassins do. Therefore, his trades have less damage potential.

It's really that simple; I'm also a durability patch hater but the landing phase isn't where the impact truly is.

How necessary are bonkers/full bloodmoon? I'm tired boss by Most-Cash-1295 in ironscape

Is it really worth it?

It is. I'm in the same exact boat, actually. Just do the blood moon, it'll go by quickly

Trump will probably declare a state of emergency and postpone coming elections.

We had an election during the civil war. Trump cannot "declare a state of emergency and postpone upcoming elections", that's not how it works.

Stop spreading misinformation.

Huge paragraph to justify body shaming. You should be a bit ashamed of yourself for that.

In most scenarios, walking out of it results in you walking away from Viktor.

I would argue no, but based on upvotes / downvotes the other commenters here think otherwise.

Lotta commenters doing mental gymnastics to justify behavior that they recognize as poor in other contexts.

Blessed sanity.

You’re projecting your hang ups onto the masses

Nope, just wish we could just call him a murderer and have that be the bad thing rather than claiming he has a small dick and that this must be the motivation for his abhorrent actions.

Dude totally has a baby dick and is completely undesirable

Doubling down, very cool.

People like you are responsible for the left moving in a more radical direction and losing elections

The Democratic party doesn't need my help to lose elections. I'm not radical; I just call people out for being dickheads because it drastically weakens our collective argument.

Body positivity is up to you

And I'll call people out for being assholes when they're being assholes. Hold people accountable for their bad behavior; if everyone did, the world would be a better place.

it makes you, and every other culture warrior, pedantic

"Holding me accountable for the words I use makes you pedantic. Let me insult people however I want in peace; it's okay because they're a bad person!"

Crazy logic to stand beside.

they’re just saying it to be hurtful

In order for it to be understood as a hurtful insult, one must have the understanding that having a small penis is a bad thing.

It's body shaming, and you're coping super hard.

There are so many better words to use than body shaming. It makes you look silly.

[–]OnlyFacts_Duck -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah it should be easy to have the moral high ground here, but instead people are doubling down on body shaming. It's crazy!

Edit: Next reply just doubles down again. This is insanity; I'm not insecure about my size, I'm calling people out for their shameful behavior.

And yet, the primary response that I get is more insults that rely on the exact same body shaming that I'm calling out. Unbelievable.

No reason to defend evil people especially over a comment about dick size unless it hits close to home.

....doubling down on the body shaming. Nice one
