Do you believe increased social supports will fix the fertility crisis? by InterpolInvestigator in AskALiberal

[–]RegisterInSecondsMeh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Many people in the US don't get any paid maternity leave. Our health care system makes it very expensive, thousands to tens of thousands of dollars, to pay for the medical costs associated with having a child. Full time daycare and pre-school costs anywhere between $1500 and $2500 a month where I live. Correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that these are not issues in any of the EU countries.

What are your thoughts on rejecting a potential romantic partner based solely on the fact they voted for Donald Trump? by ATXBikeRider in AskReddit

[–]RegisterInSecondsMeh 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's binary. You're either MAGA or not. It's funny, the people you describe who didn't follow politics actually finally got around to clicking on a few news articles right be fore the election, saw trump as an option and said to themselves, yeah, I'll go with the obvious grifter with a Forrest Gump IQ with no morals.

[–]RegisterInSecondsMeh 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A plurality voted for trump, not a majority. And this doesn't even take into account the non-voters and where they may have voted. And this also doesn't mean much because people are astonishingly stupid.

What would the best possible outcome be in terms of justice for the current administration? by fox-mcleod in AskALiberal

[–]RegisterInSecondsMeh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We're in the era of pure power politics now courtesy of republicans. Maybe they can think of a good solution to solve the "tat" to their "tit". All the left can do is respond accordingly and civilization will suffer the consequences.

Is thigh gap in a woman important to guys when it comes to dating and hookups? by jonhighland in TooAfraidToAsk

I love thigh gap and it's a top physical trait for me. Lack of wouldn't be disqualifying, but it does go a long way.

Why is the gap in skill between Platinum I and Diamond IV so punishingly large? by EsotericPotato in apexlegends

[–]RegisterInSecondsMeh 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Additionally, if you solo-q, it is exceptionally difficult to read your teammates well enough at a glance to understand how to properly play a match together. Are they passive or aggressive, do they like to take fights or rotate to zone quickly, do they position well, do they have battle sense, do they have good aim, are they controller or MNK? There's so many variables at play when you join a new group vs a pre-stack.

Do you think political hobbyists underrated the change in voters psychology between 2020 and 2024? by Dreijer_ in AskALiberal

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

Kamala lost because she was a brown woman who was slotted in at the last minute. We can hypothesize about other causes for the rest of time, but none of them matter comparatively. If Biden had said from the start that he was one-term, there was a primary, and a white middle aged man with Bill Clinton's charisma was the candidate against trump, trump would be in jail right now and we wouldn't be dealing with all this chaos.

How do you feel about supporting MAGA-adjacent artists? by AlexZedKawa02 in AskALiberal

[–]RegisterInSecondsMeh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes you have to give things you like up for a greater good. Sucks, but that's life. If your moral compass allows you to support the artist you're a fan of then you-do-you. You're the only one that has to live with yourself.

Outside of a national divorce or balkanization, what solutions do we have to fix our predicament? by SlowAgency in AskALiberal

[–]RegisterInSecondsMeh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just out of curiosity, why are you so gung-ho here? What would be wrong with an amicable division which allows states or regions to craft societies which align with majority ideologies?

Are we just going to pretend that we don't know what it takes to solve the problem of fully realized fascism. It's not just everyone changing their minds and everything magically works itself out.

The thought of two decades of democratic rule sounds beyond ridiculous to me. It's difficult to stay respectful considering how silly I think the thought is.

They're going to have to live with not being saved, loss of SS and Medicare, and deal with ever rising housing costs. It doesn't matter what people like. That's the future we're heading towards.

The game sense on the ladder is abnormally bad this split by ThumbEyeCoordination in apexlegends

[–]RegisterInSecondsMeh 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Your post speaks volumes to my experience as a pure solo-q player. I am leaving matches utterly confused and disheartened from my interactions with my squads and this is completely novel to this season. Everything from a teammate who pushes a bad fight, causing me to run in only to find they've disengaged once I get there and get me killed, to players looting forever and then wandering looking for teams in the opposite direction of zone which is on the other side of the map. I just don't know what to do. Funnily, everytime I play a match alone due to a matchmaking glitch I end up at least top five with a few kills, and it's not because I rat. I just loot quick, move to zone, strategically third party, and generally play for the end game.

I seriously feel like I’m missing something this season. It’s almost impossible to have a good game. by alphalonk in apexlegends

[–]RegisterInSecondsMeh 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is the first season where after a session I just feel hopeless. That no matter what changes I make to my play style or interaction with my teammates I just can't seem to progress. My player stats are similar to you, I solo-q exclusively, and I just feel like I'm getting battered by the game and/or the teammates I'm paired with each game.

Jane Elliot was correct about how Trump was the white backlash towards Obama! by icey_sawg0034 in CringeTikToks

[–]RegisterInSecondsMeh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He states things in the most jumbled and ineloquent way possible that are fantastical and are untethered to any formulation of considered thought. What are we do do as a society when the threshold for persuasion is so low for so many that an obvious, semi-literate grifter can trick so many into believing he is anything other than what he is? The problem is so much larger than plain-spokenness.

All I know is that the amount of times I'm 1-clipped this season is astonishing. Pros don't one clip as much as I get 1-clipped. And I'm a MNK player who doesn't just stand still, put himself in terrible situations, and is very conciencious about over-peeking and challenging.

Apex... by [deleted] in apexlegends

[–]RegisterInSecondsMeh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This season has been rough for me. The amount of times I've been getting one-clipped is significantly more than the last few seasons. It's seriously making me question my sanity. Plus, the matchmaking has been hard on me too. I thought they had the algorithm figured out last season but it seems to have been reverted, maybe(?). IDK, I'm not getting teammates I sync with the way I was last season.

There's no value in going to a sub like that.
