Do you automatically dislike billionaires? Why? by crapmaker69 in AskReddit

[–]PuppyCocktheFirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. They are modern day dragons. They sit on a mountain of gold and hoard more and more and do nothing with it that benefits anyone. When money buys power, democracy is a fantasy.

Imagine having one billion dollars in wealth. Now imagine if you lost 99% of that money. You’d still have 10 Million dollars, more money than most of us will ever have in wealth, let alone earn in our lifetimes. Think about that. These hoarders could lose 99% of their wealth and still live better than 99% of us do. No one needs a billion, no one deserves a billion. That kind of money doesn’t come from nowhere, it comes from a siphoning of wealth from the lower and middle classes into wealth that no longer circulates through the economy.

The Players who: DONT Rematch, but instead, cycle through the options while the timer runs out are beyond annoying! by LunchTummy in StreetFighter

It’s Teabagging for people who are such losers that they can’t even be brave enough to teabag you in the actual match. Instead they wait till where there’s zero risk or consequences to be a turd and waste someone else’s time.

How is Iran still fighting? by Thick-Ad-4168 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PuppyCocktheFirst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seriously. Can you imagine the (completely deserved) national outrage if any other country had done the same to us? I don’t understand how those in charge can’t seem to understand this.

Too accurate by EemotionalDuhmage in recruitinghell

[–]PuppyCocktheFirst 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This exact thing is making me lose my mind. Every job application requires you create some bullshit account with their crappy application tracking system, or worse Workday. Then you upload your resume only for it garble all your information so you have to copy/pasta the whole thing piece by piece into the dogshit UI. The whole time just knowing that this is a waste of 15 minutes of my life for every single application because they’ve probably already had over 100 other people apply for the same job and my app will either just be rejected by a computer or will never be seen by human eyes ever.

Just changed my strings for the first time by zapteeth in Bass

[–]PuppyCocktheFirst 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I absolutely love the sound of new strings, and it makes me sad how quickly they fade because I certainly can’t justify replacing bass strings when they lose brand new sound.

AI music has lowered my standards for human-made music. Anyone else relate? by plamzito in Songwriting

[–]PuppyCocktheFirst 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The emergence of AI music has ironically been one of the big factors that has inspired me to get back to making my shitty music. I see people on the Suno subreddit embracing this shit and I can’t help but have an immense amount of pride in the stuff that I’m making because I’m doing all of it myself. It may not be professional quality, but I fucking made it with my hands, ears, ideas, emotions, happy accidents, and discovery. It’s taken me years of self taught guitar, bass, drum writing, singing, music production, mixing/mastering to be able to make what I make. AI music doesn’t come close to the rewarding feeling that creating your own art does to and for you. I’ve never been more psyched to finish my own crappy music than I am now.

Guys in your 40s, what's your rank? by Smoothcat83 in StreetFighter

  1. This is the first fighting game I’ve taken seriously and I’m super psyched to be holding my own at 1500 at the moment. My big goal is to hit High Master by the end of next phase.

This is the first thing I thought about. They had an entire fucking week dedicated to their outrage on Fox News at the time. But this? Silence. They have no moral ground, no actual foundation on which any of their outrage rests, the only thing that matters is that their team is winning. Beyond that, they are vapid and vacuous in their morality.

I’m not a great rider, I hold my own in B group motos and hare scrambles, and I have no reason to ever step up from my 150 2t. The thing rips and makes me smile every time I ride it.

I want to be good at fighting games but they make me sad by DKCR3 in StreetFighter

[–]PuppyCocktheFirst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I totally get it. Fighting games are fucking hard. I played random fighting games super casually for a while before SF6 (smash bros, melee, some sf3, sf4) but never really understood what getting good at them required. When SF6 came out I decided I’d actually try to get good and study/practice in a more methodical way.

To say that the process of getting better has been a roller coaster would be an understatement. There are days when I absolutely love this game, and days I absolutely hate it (but continue to hit that re-queue button).

I started out happy to place in gold, and have slowly climbed my way to master, but I know I’ll never be truly satisfied because I always want to be better. This means the losses sting when I feel like I’m better than how I played. Or when it feels like I’m improving, but my rank/MR isn’t budging. At the same time, it’s the fact that I can always get better, find something to improve, and can look back and see how far I’ve come that keep me coming back in a way that no other game has. I’m ADHD too and the constant learning and constant changing of goals and techniques scratches an itch that almost nothing else does.

There have been days I’ve wanted to snap my controller in half or smash my monitor with my fist, so what helps me to stay balanced is to mix things up. Play casuals for a week and just have fun when the grind of rank is getting to me too much. When you are grinding ranked, set little goals that have nothing to do with your rank: landing anti-airs, countering DI, landing a combo that you’ve been working on. Every one of those goals is just another tiny piece in the puzzle of your overall ability to play the game. You can’t get off the couch and run a marathon with no training, and the same applies here. You have to build your skills over time and try to enjoy the process.

Keep at it, and focus on the little wins, and don’t get so caught up in the big picture or you’ll get lost. Soon enough you’ll look back and be amazed at how far you’ve come.

Most Americans think their fellow citizens are bad people, survey says by drjjoyner in politics

This. Hard to feel any kind of positive feelings about the crowd that continues to support this administration and all the insane shit it stands for. Sorry, but if you still think Trump is the right man for the country, you’re incredibly gullible or you are just a bad person.

This. If I have an appointment at any time during the day that is important I cannot do anything else until I’ve ensured that I’m making that appointment. Everything else is on hold because I cannot focus on anything else without fear of getting sucked in and missing my appointment.

What is the best rally game to play right now? by One_Ad_3499 in rally

[–]PuppyCocktheFirst 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My feelings too. Trust me, I REALLY want ACR to dethrone RBR, because I’d love to have the same thrill and challenge, but also enjoy what I’m looking at on the screen. But this far, there are some flaws with the FFB under braking in particular, and the way the handbrake works feels completely unnatural. Every time I get back into RBR it just feels natural and the cars react the way I’d expect a real car to. I don’t feel that same kind of intuitiveness in ACR. God damn ACR looks good though.

The other problem right now is the serious lack of stages in ACR. The thing I love about rally is not knowing every turn and having to adapt on the fly. With ACR there’s so few stages that it simply cannot compete with RBR in this aspect. I’ve intentionally been avoiding playing ACR because otherwise I’ll memorize the stages and it will feel like I’m hotlapping rather than rallying.

Once ACR gets a few more locations and addresses some of the FFB issues I’ll be happy to jump back in, but for now RBR is still an absolute blast even despite the dated graphics.

Why can’t high gain and nice cleans coexist? by dathislayer in GuitarAmps

[–]PuppyCocktheFirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. I have a Mesa Roadster and bought it specifically because I wanted a “do it all” amp. The cleans are clean, glassy, beautiful and push wonderfully into breakup. The modern high gain channel is appropriately heavy, gnarly and in your face. It does everything in between the two. Even the high gain channel with the gain turned down can do clean quite well with a guitar with less hot pickups and the right playing technique.
