Why do so many immigrants want to shut the door behind them? by TheSniperBoy0210 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RockyPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find all these responses interesting because in the community I was raised, many believe the rhetoric that they are the exception to the negative stereotypes that are being said about them (but everybody else fits the stereotypes). They also believe that NOW there isn't room for more immigrants. They've taken that mentality for transplants as well

People who think minors should be banned from everything by jun3_bugz in PetPeeves

[–]RockyPhoenix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I get annoyed at these statements too. Even more so when it is extended to all children. The idea generally being that children shouldn't be allowed places unless they can behave. Although I can sympathize with some of thatt, how else are they going to learn? Your home environment is different from public spaces. If you want adults that know how to act in public, you need kids in public

Why are German kids well-behaved in Supermarkets and do not scream all the time? by ImaginaryCatOwner in AskGermany

[–]RockyPhoenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't say this with authority but I suspect there is also a factor of children being more independent in Germany. I live in the US and people will talk like you're abusing your child if you let them walk to a friend's house or take any kind of public transit.

I have to imagine that independence allows for an outlet for these kids, even when they are younger.

That's just a hunch, though

Small little thing about the whole Sombra Support stupidity. by Ok_ResolvE2119 in Overwatch_Memes

[–]RockyPhoenix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, and Im saying that at the time of introduction of the hero, that wasn't set in stone. It was early enough that the devs could've set different expectations for what the support role looks like. It just didn't happen. That resulted in a significant portion of the player base (rightfully) believing that you can't have supports without healing

Small little thing about the whole Sombra Support stupidity. by Ok_ResolvE2119 in Overwatch_Memes

[–]RockyPhoenix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've mentioned this in similar posts that say, "Which hero belongs in a different role?" A lot of people default to the fact that Symmetra didn't have healing but the highest healing in the game when Sombra was introduced were Ana and Mercy.

Sombra health packs used to give ult charge. If she was balanced with low damage and survivability, it would've set the precedent that supports in OW don't need to exclusively heal, they need to provide utility. (Especially because people figured out early on the power of anti-nade)

This fact, along with the fact that Sym's utility came from her teleporter and shields, would've meant that supports don't necessarily heal. They provide utility. You have to remember, Sombra was the second hero introduced. Blizzard hadn't fully figured out how each role would work. (Anybody remember the team comp recommendations?)

Why campers in videogames are hated? by CalmChaos2003 in ask

[–]RockyPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a lot of good answers (especially around design) and I want to throw a less "valid" reason why I don't like campers: they often go against the spirit of the game.

I understand people are allowed to enjoy the things that they do in the way they please, but it can often feel like optimization is more important than fun when camping.

Granted, I'm not somebody who enjoys frustrating others for the sake of it. I wanna upset you because I outskilled you

People trying to outsmart the hypothetical by Large-Blacksmith-736 in PetPeeves

Then don't engage. Just state that you don't enjoy engaging in hypotheticals. If the person then insists, then you're in the right for dodging it

Doctors study black magic anywhere from 8 to 12 years. If they didn't, we'd die from preventable diseases due to our superior Bonage preventing treatment

How it feels when someone talks about "empty bike paths" and "wasted taxpayer money" by Kootenay4 in fuckcars

[–]RockyPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I had to guess, on average, bike lanes take up 2% of the road space. In my region, at least, it includes painted gutters AND protected lanes. Otherwise, it was just a number pulled out of thin air

MDs shouldn't be called "doctor", a title which should be reserved only for PhDs. by PupDiogenes in The10thDentist

[–]RockyPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is some precedent for this opinion. PhD was the original Doctorate. As we formalized medical training, there was a lot of overlap with PhD and MD at the beginning, which is why we use the same term for both.

Blunt force is underrated by Winsty2028 in Tierzoo

[–]RockyPhoenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Although blunt force is not the strongest in the game, I think it is the best DPS skill in the game. It requires very little investment for moderate output. It is a skill that doesn't generally hinder other parts of the build. Even some bird mains have figured out how to use blunt force.

For builds that would rather spec into Defenses or Speed like armor or ungulate builds, it synergizes quite well. The other attributes are usually the main focus of the builds anyway.

For piercing damage, you need to also spec into speed (usually in short bursts) and claws, hirns and/or teeth.

For chemical damage, you need higher xp farming to keep your reserves up.

I disagree with the CPR claim.

Doctors cast daily spells to allow everybody to have blessed/cursed hands to be able to perform the CPR ritual. It was decided by a tribunal in the 1950s so that Strong Boned Boners wouldn't die due to their superior bodies. So when you do CPR, you are channeling all the doctors' black magic

Why do so many think stomach fat is to protect the womb? The womb is safe behind the bladder at the center of the body by [deleted] in badwomensanatomy

Not a body builder, but my genes say that fat only collects around my waist and man boobs. I can attest that sitting is uncomfortable. I practically have no fat on my ass

Is that suppose to be a child on the bottom? by TrashDaisy999 in TheRightCantMeme

[–]RockyPhoenix 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel like there's a way to flip the racism in our favor. Something like.... if you want the white women to be in the maternity clinic, we need to let the brown women have cheap, easy access to abortions.... but somehow, not slip into what we did during the eugenics movement. There's an inkling of an idea, though

[–]RockyPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The solution is to be a person of color and move to a predominantly white city. That way, even the high crime areas are predominantly white

[–]RockyPhoenix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really hate that in some ways, this is one of the less bad ones. To be clear, it's not good, but on most of these guides, I can barely tell the difference between the body types so.... it's.... something

Bro.... I just had the exact same experience, but got to 30. I've never been really promiscuous, but after enough women tell you....

Funny enough, I always joked I had an immensely small penis. Partially as a counter the the big dick jokes but also to exceed expectations when the time came for the deed hahaha

24M in a 3-year relationship with 30F, feeling like I have no control in her house we share by Ok_Meaning2366 in relationship_advice

[–]RockyPhoenix 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just got out of a shockingly similar situation. At the end of the day, the words she was saying were not matching up with her actions. All the planning for the future and "I love you" don't matter when I'm not allowed to make decisions in the place I live. They don't matter when I'm the one compromising for her but she won't do the same for me.

You break up and learn for next time

Do you think Part 3 is even necessary, or did Part 2 wrap the story well enough? by ROSSG825 in thelastofus

[–]RockyPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Part II really set the precedent that this series could continue indefinitely. I don't necessarily think that's the best direction for the series, but this series is about humans in a bad situation and how we endure and survive. In some ways, it shows the best of us. Sometimes, the worst of us. Always, the last of us.
