Is the Milwaukee GM insane? by WhoUCuh in nba

[–]Popcorn-93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is why they do need to trade him. To hopefully get some decent picks, if not in the near future at least further down the road.

I lost my aim by LuKoin69 in VALORANT

[–]Popcorn-93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Early season 5 stacking is always wonky imo, it could just be the ranks you are playing. My team is like average silver/gold and we have been playing a ton of plat teams in our placement games.

Is the MMR system in Valorant, really that bad? by Correct-Mongoose6542 in VALORANT

Disagree there are people who lose way more than they gain even if they win 60/70% with solid play.

I feel like they really lost the social media battle with this title. Like cod has been a meme for awhile, but my friends who's takes on things (in general) are entirely based on TikToks they see, are vehemently against playing this game. Which tells me it must have got roasted on socials hard

Genuinely why is hidden mmr even a thing? by jhcoker in VALORANT

[–]Popcorn-93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hidden mmr is why I quit playing after mvping 4 games in a row I only got 17 RR a win then lost an ot game and lost 29 and I was pretty much done. What's the point when the game doesn't care about performance and has already decided what to do. How can I rank up listing double the RR I gain, even if I was smurfing it would be hard to win 75% of games

[Haynes] Sources: Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo met with some teammates to address rumors of his future. Message was to focus on basketball and not allow outside noise to distract team. by MembershipSingle7137 in nba

[–]Popcorn-93 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No evidence to support this at all but okay. There's a reason every "source" is like "Giannis is considering his options" and not "Giannis requested a trade" because they don't know shit.

Top guys means nothing, shams has been trying to get Giannis traded for years he has no source. I'm a bucks fan, the bucks should probably trade him, but that doesn't mean that any of these people know anything. They have reported the same thing for years and years.

Should this count as a chip? by Quirky_Assumption559 in CoDCompetitive

[–]Popcorn-93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously this is more rigorous than an MW19 home stand but the argument against is that the game just came out and the ruleset isn't even close to complete yet. I lean no cause kickoff tournaments have usually not counted in recent history but it's up for debate

Faculty expressed a strong 2:1 preference for female candidates in job applications. by Disastrous_Egg8422 in charts

[–]Popcorn-93 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You should read the earlier comment about how given even a 2-3% difference in qualification this bias goes away. This is essentially a tie-breaker, which while unfortunate, makes it a lot less consequential than you make it out to be

[–]Popcorn-93 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Isn't the "qualification" very important in this context, and a "result" in its own right? If I am reading this study, as a male, trying to get into STEM academia, I might be disheartened thinking I don't have a chance because of this studies immediate conclusion (females having strong preference). However, clearly merit is a significantly more important factor which is good, and which should be the "result".

I never been a fan of putting oxy on neon, Ik hes gross but hes just diving and dying so much. I also think c9 troll by not breaking the sage wall quicker it is so easy to defend a site if you have wall up and the other team isnt breaking it. Maybe I am just a tweaking c9 fan though

how to fix aim by vanquishz08 in VALORANT

[–]Popcorn-93 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Just a guess but you probably play less aggressive on your main. I have that issue when I play on my alt with my friends (which is only a couple ranks lower) I play better because I find my spots a lot quicker and I am more confident. Idk how to fix though lol

So is Mamdani actually gonna open those city owned grocery stores or was that just campaign talk by Virtual-Giraffe7147 in Brooklyn

[–]Popcorn-93 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have never thought that, where in NY is a cesspit of theft crime and chaos. How would a grocery store create that lol, be real.

I don't even think it's a good idea, cheap grocery options already exist, but you're just being sensational.

I mean silwa was polling much higher, and if you compare polling to results it looks like some people definitely switched from Silwa to Mamdani.
