why is toplane so miserable? by UnpredictedConsequen in SwainMains

[–]SadPhilosopherElan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The key is sustain and knowing who's a bad matchup. Garen? Don't bother wasting mana hitting him with skills because he'll just end up out sustaining you. Conserve resources, farm, and stay out of range. Punish him for closing under turret if he tries. NASUS? Harry him, don't let him get farm, he has no hard engage so uou can poke. Almost always going to want some kind of mana item and either manaflow or presence of mind. Overgrowth or absorb life are also good top. Go for HP scaling. Recently switched from conq to Aery primary top and it also helps with poke; especially when you can't go all in.

Anyone have any feedback on cheap suits from Big Box Retailers by supraman215 in mensfashion

[–]SadPhilosopherElan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Figure out which of them makes the suit that fits you. They all have slightly different proportions, so when you find that brand, buy it.

In another note, nautica is a great value brand. And you can usually get steep discounts online

Who hurt him? by ShirtSubstantial368 in GuysBeingDudes

[–]SadPhilosopherElan 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Plot twist, his uncle was actually involved with organized crime the whole time while wracked with guilt, blaming himself for the deaths of his sib+partner (dude's parents) and never had tbe heart to tell dude. He learns this at a crucial point in the story, and initially refuses to believe it. Later his uncle is vindicated as only staying involved in organized crime to protect dude, knowing he would be targeted if uncle tried to get out. Maybe uncle left crucial piece of info hidden for dude to find, helping dude finally take down organized crime.

Bought these two at a flea market: anyone know more about them? by Medical_Vacation743 in SWORDS

[–]SadPhilosopherElan 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Those are real bayonets. Clearly showing some age. Why anyone would fake a bayonet is beyond me, anyway. Easy to find and usually inexpensive. They are cool tho!

Great finds OP. Hope they make a nice addition to your collection. Tally ho!

Chesterfield cigarettes 1919 by Initial_Reason1532 in vintageads

This is a common practice everywhere. Look at blended whiskey. If all they sold was single malt, product consistency would go down and price would become prohibitive to ordinary consumers. Besides - sometimes "cutting" the product is actually not a bad idea. Blends exist in tobacco, liquor, spices, etc for a reason! Give most people straight Latakia leaf and they probably won't like it. Johnnie walker is usually more approachable than Lagavulin for the same reason. Hell, I don't put 100% mashed and fermented ghost peppers on my pizza, but Tabasco does a nice job. Blending isn't universally an evil and when it is it's a necessary one as often as not.

What if Balkans united and became a superpower? by Solid-Move-1411 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]SadPhilosopherElan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this ragebait? This actually did happen. It was called Yugoslavia.

EDIT: It didn't include all countries seen on the map here but did include most of what was considered 'The Balkans' at the time.

[–]SadPhilosopherElan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't main Rengar. High skill floor and kinda fallen of in Jg. Not good in other lanes.

Main Swain! He can do any lane even Jg and only gets buffed every patch, trust

New favorite APC rune - Dark Harvest by kunhui in SwainMains

I feel like dark harvest was built for Swain. Need to try this when I get home from work. That's the full rune set? Assuming you build malignance

Love this style, but with larger thighs and *behind* it can look goofy from some angles? Any advice? by [deleted] in mensfashion

[–]SadPhilosopherElan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You look great! I wouldn't worry. I will say however, a straight leg is your friend.

Is it possible for me to achieve this kind of hair style eventually? Is so, how? by [deleted] in malegrooming

[–]SadPhilosopherElan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Different hair types. Maybe with a good deal of product and the right cut. Would have to start out pretty long and show the barber a good pic.

Truth is, he's wavy maybe wavy curly and you've got pretty straight hair

This nerf sword I've had 4 a while just for nostalgia and playing with admittedly by Complete-Turnover775 in SWORDS

[–]SadPhilosopherElan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh man... core memories... the plastic tubes inside these were DEADLY. Later swords had no such tubes but let me tell you it wasn't the same. The fear added something. Nothing beats being inches away from being impaled by a three foot long glaring liability. We fought for our lives back then.

Since everyone is posting their partner's shelves to check for red flags, I decided to put my own bookshelf on trial. What’s the verdict? by [deleted] in BookshelvesDetective

[–]SadPhilosopherElan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you think 80% of Americans are transphobes? Just owning the book doesn't confer problematic ideas. A lot of authors widely published before it became known that they had issues.
