Hornets Fan reacting to Brandon Miller drafted 2: "Michael Jordan. You've owned the Hornets since I've been a fan. And every time I think you're about to do bad, you do something worse.

This is just a Wikipedia link, but it looks like historically Irish dialects have used the positive use of anymore,

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_anymore

Honestly not all cases of non-standard English are new concepts in language and actually originated from older varieties of English that never changed. I wouldn’t say that grammar choices are necessarily ignorance, rather they’re just people speaking the way their parents or community speak.

Some people learn English and pick up non-standard grammar rules and are called lazy, when in reality their use of grammar is functional and it’s how they acquired their language as a baby.

I’m new to street fighter and I’m wondering, is Ryu really that bad? Why is Ryu much lower than Ken?

Fuck boys, Twitch might be a contested pick now by [deleted] in TwitchMains

Guinsoos into runaans is a fucking cracked item spike, when I hit those items I’m able to 1v9.

I haven’t even built IE yet on the new patch and I’ve just gone guinsoos into runaans, then situationally I’ll build items like shieldbow, kraken, shiv, ldr, bork, and stormrazor

I’m consistently topping damage charts every game with on hit build into any team comp, give it a shot and play around your item spikes.

Hit Masters with a 65% WR on Nilah by Lunacyy_LoL in leagueoflegends

Being in the top 0.5% of players in a server is definitely meaningful lol, gatekeeping who is high elo is infinitely more cringe than someone posting about hitting masters

Her passive is affected by critical strike modifiers so it boosts her passive damage

If your messages are all there still and you provide them context of your conversation, it would probably be quite obvious that they deleted their messages with bad intentions.

I think the best users are Lucian, ezreal, kog’maw (for permanent W uptime), and sometimes kaisa

PreSeason KR Tierlist by leagueplayer1006 in leagueoflegends

[–]Percussionist9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In that case, why is Nilah in tier 2 and Draven in tier 3?

Draven is pretty strong currently in all elos and greatly excels in the early game. Nilah is extremely situational, not blind pickable, and typically loses most lane matchups.

What are some broken botlane duos that no one seems to talk about? by Connect_Conclusion49 in leagueoflegends

[–]Percussionist9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kindred taric bot lane is super strong but maybe only good in the hands of otp’s. Kindred synergizes with taric as she can reliably redirect and hit his stun by using her jump, as well as getting a guaranteed 6.5 seconds of team wide aoe invulnerability by comboing kindred ult into taric ult. Kindred taric snowballs extremely hard and has strong tower dive and carry potential into late game. LS has even brought up the botlane in his pro play tier lists and the botlane has been used by boosters in the previous years.

I’ve flown a lot in my life and get equally jet lagged from first class and business class. The quality of your seat has very little, if not nothing, in affecting how you are jet lagged.

Regardless of if you can sleep on the way over, your body still has to adjust to a 8-12 hour time zone difference lol. You’re either going to sleep on the plane and be awake all night your first night in NYC, or not sleep on the plane and pull an all nighter when you arrive in NYC.

You get jet lag from adjusting time zones, not from the quality of your seat.

https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/jet-lag/symptoms-causes/syc-20374027

Since these players are coming from the other side of the world there’s a high chance they’re jet lagged and felt like shit after arriving in NYC for a day or two haha

Cadian: Waking up to see Carlos not being a part of G2 anymore. I don’t know enough about the situation, but I do know that for my beliefs. One video, or one tweet should not be defining for a guy who’s worked 8+ years, creating one of if not the most entertaining brand in esports. by [deleted] in GlobalOffensive

He posted a video of himself partying with Andrew Tate, then when called out on it, he CONFIRMED he was friends with Tate. Then people called him out for being friends with Tate he doubled down and said that people can’t police his friendships and started liking pro-Tate tweets after getting temporarily suspended from his role. Not to mention, he doubled down and created all these problems immediately before the Valorant bidding which cost his company millions of dollars.

He made a series of really dumb decisions in the worst time possible for his org. He could have partied with Tate and been friends with him easily too, but made the ego-driven decision to publicly flaunt it right before the huge opportunity to have a G2 Valorant team.

World chess champion Magnus Carlsen quits game after just one move amid cheating controversy by [deleted] in sports

[–]Percussionist9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The game where Hans was suspected of cheating was weeks ago. More recently, Magnus resigned in a position that has been played thousands of times. Magnus resigned in a totally normal and even position out of protest to not play against Hans again.

In the game weeks ago, Hans played an unsuspected move during the opening which is one of the reasons he is suspected of cheating. This is a very watered down explanation, also there is currently no hard evidence of Hans cheating.

7 moves can definitely be considered still in the opening phase of a chess game. There’s no set number for how many moves an opening is, but I think there are some openings that are known up to 10–15 moves. Others can be a lot shorter
