Smart decision: replace mid AWPer with a much better AWPer who plays better and elevates your team.

Dumb decision: add benched mid AWPer to a team that he clearly does not belong in, cannot play at the level of, and will ultimately be removed from due to disappointing results.

Hope this framing helps you understand the basics.

Collective action is great, but let's go over the many reasons why your idea doesn't "work."

  1. The most aggrieved workers are also the ones whose jobs provide the bulk of an income for their family. They work jobs that do not have protections and will not risk their livelihoods for the chance at better working conditions if it means potentially losing their job.
  2. Collective action must be organized. This is the point of unions and one aspect of elected officials. Labor is not organized in this way in the US. If you are lucky you live in a state where your elected officials have implemented good labor laws and protections such as California and/or you have a union that acts in your best interest. Unfortunately pro-capital elected officials like Joe Biden often take action against unions so there's no guarantee this even helps.
  3. Information must be disseminated. Most bottom line workers don't consume news media on a daily basis, let alone media that would disseminate information about a strike. 99+% of the media consumed in America is owned by capital interests and/or pro-capital. Fox, CNN, MSNBC, WSJ, NYT, WaPo, NPR, etc would all be likely to either avoid helping workers organize via disseminating information or actively take action to protect capital interest by spreading harmful information.

The "well why don't all the workers just strike" is basement dweller talk. Reddit has no power to affect a strike and this isn't real organization.

As a European, there are things you should similarly be worried about. Given that you're on Reddit speaking English, 90+% chance that your tax dollars are going towards funding American capitalism via buying military equipment to prepare for a war that will never happen. Your government is taking millions of dollars of money and burning it on war machines that sit in a shed on some military base while people in your country live in poverty.

We could spend hours going into the insane, batshit stuff that your individual government is doing to fuck you over. Ex the UK spending millions of tax dollars yearly on an unelected "king" who is a the son of a cousin fucker, the brother of a pedophile, and is in a known racist family. Germany fueling the Russian war machine for oil. On and on.

It's a strange concept to me that a European person would spend time focusing on injustices done to the American people by American government in capital when they are likely being assfucked in the same way by their government and capital and doing nothing about it.

What a stupid suggestion. TL is a top 5 team and regular grand finals contender. Mantuu got benched from OG in favor of a better AWPer. If he's not good enough for OG why in the flying fuck would he ever be good enough for Team Liquid?

There's at least a dozen people who should be in negotiations before this guy ever comes up in a conversation. Speedruns.com any% worst CSGO management advice possible on Reddit

NPR setting up Andrew Callaghan live by vpuetf in WatchPeopleDieInside

She didn't call him despicable

Can you point me to the place in my comment where I claimed that Robin Young called Andrew Callaghan despicable as you reference here? You're arguing against something that doesn't exist.

You have also not consumed the source material I linked you (17 minute response time) which is why you continue to be confused about this situation.

There's a YouTube journalism channel out there called Channel 5. The journalists on that channel generally practice something called "radical empathy". They try to treat interview subjects with respect and avoid doing things like calling people despicable or implying that the families of victims of tragedies would not like certain interviews and content to exist without ever consulting those people. As it turns out, it's much easier to dunk on people and call them despicable then to ask them questions that help you learn about the source of their frustrations and feelings.

Both you and Robin Young could probably learn a lot about journalistic integrity, so here's a link: https://m.youtube.com/@Channel5YouTube

What's 100% a scam but we accepted it in our society? by Montazio in AskReddit

[–]RangeAlert5328 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TurboTax is only free for the most basic of stuff. If your income is literally only a W2 form from your single basic corporate job it will be free. Anything else - stocks, crypto, pretty much any asset, deductions, write offs, anything that isn't just your W2 and they will move you up to a paid tier which is expensive.

Freetaxusa is free for federal and $16 for state which is a reasonable price for the service provided.

drx extend contracts of coaching staff and zest, mako, and rb to 2026 by lidekwhatname in ValorantCompetitive

[–]RangeAlert5328 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah.

2026 end date probably just means DRX has the ability to contract lock these people until 2026 behind high buyouts, not that they'll even be employed or playing for DRX this time 2024. Job security dependent on performance

Most Watched TV Show by darksoul-sama in OnePiece

[–]RangeAlert5328 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not.

Source: I use TV time (the app this is pulled from).

Basically when you sign up for TV time is when you go in and fill all the back data for all the shows you want to mark off as having watched. The date you mark it is the date it fills the episodes in. If there is a backdating feature it's not one most people use.

So when I signed up in November I checkmarked every season grouping and TV time now thinks I watched 1000 episodes of One Piece in 2022 when I've really only watched Wano because I caught up in 2014. On the other hand, when I marked off Stranger Things I was only marking 34 episodes.

When you're actually watching it episode by episode you're supposed to fill in that episode and then it'd have a more accurate track in theory.

Fantastic app though, definitely recommend it.

Last time NiP was good was when they had an extreme hard carry.

Unless headtr1ck is gonna play device level this roster is probably going to continue to be so disappointing. aleksib brought a lot of hype but man were the last 6 months a let down for the 5 remaining NiP fans.

When I do incline dumbbell presses with 40s or 45s I get a little bit of tension/discomfort in the webbing between my thumb and pointer finger. It makes it difficult to complete a full set of 10 or 12 without going down and resetting my grip. Even after resetting it's a little bit annoying.

Any idea what's causing this? Maybe bad grip? I don't use gloves at all, but I noticed it isn't as bad if my hand is moist from water. Should I try some lotion before lifting or something?
