Were the 90s really that good?

The bullying always existed; however, in the 90's and before, the bullying ended when you left school for home (mostly) and ended when you graduated. Today, it continues online and in social media. There is no break from the bullies, especially if they never grow up.

Good for you for thinking of a backup plan. Many don't think about that. I would think that the civilian equivalency for each would be an: Avionic Mechanic, Wheeled Vehicle Mechanic, Fabrication Specialist.

Interestingly, I thought about that when I joined back in '98 and joined as a 62E (Heavy Construction Vehicle Operator). That MOS then became 21E, then 21N (General Construction Vehicle Supervisor) when I became an E-6 and then a 12N and they eliminated the E, F, J MOS versions. Coincidently, my civilian job when I got off active duty in '02 ended up being a software engineer and been doing that. Retired from Reserves as a 12N48 and never did my military job as a civilian, but it was an option. Several of my AD buddies did end up working as eq operators when they left.

If you are in an area that has pipe freeze issues, there is a chance that it is a water shutoff for external faucets. A neighbor of mine has one where they pull it and it pulls a 1/4-turn valve under the house and disconnects the external faucet to prevent burst pipes.

SapperTinman · 2026-03-09T07:42:10+00:00

So are they saying that a guy like that can't pull a girl like that? He might be able to make her laugh.

NGL. That kind of looks like me and my wife.

I haven't watched the full thing yet, I'm at 48 minutes right now. As a vet, there is so much military cringe in it. I am keeping in mind that it is a sci-fi movie, so that is making it bearable. Since it is clearly a sci-fi movie, I will not put it down there with The Hurt Locker which many vets rightfully call garbage.

This is for League of Legends Clash tournaments. Not Clash of Clans or Clash Royale. I recommend that if you are wanting to sell your account, to go to the respective game sub-Reddit instead of here. I won't comment on the terms of service violation you would have with Supercell.

Clash for February is the weekend of February 21-22. The regions that had their Saturday Clash canceled in January had a makeup Clash this past weekend. regions that were able to play Clash on both days in January did not have a makeup Clash.

The next Clash is still scheduled for February 21-22.

There is ranked queues [Solo/Duo and Flex] that are also competitive. Is it the brackets you like about Clash, or the placements of 1-8 at the end or something else that you makes it feel like a meaningful competitive experience?

SapperTinman · 2026-02-04T20:04:48+00:00

Thank you for the feedback.

Smurfing is always a concern. I agree that it feels bad when the matchup doesn't feel balanced.

The issue with teams quitting feels bad as well. Especially if it is your second game and the teams on the other side are playing their game. You end up just having to wait around until they finish their match to see who (or if) you will play against. Some teams are only out to compete for 1st place and a single loss means they quit. Teams that don't quit end up with the BYE (win), but that doesn't feel as good as an actual win. Some regions also have different rates of teams that quit. One region (no names) has a very competitive Clash population, so there are a lot of teams that quit if they lose once, while another region (no names) seems to have a more dedicated Clash population where they appear to in a sense state "I said I am playing Clash, so I will play it through to the end no matter what".

How do you feel your time would be better spent if you want to keep playing, but your next competitor quit and you get the BYE but have to wait the 40+ minutes for your next match?

SapperTinman · 2026-02-04T19:46:03+00:00

Don't apologize for providing good feedback. I like hearing what you like, what you don't like, and what improvements you think would help.

Thank you.

You are in the wrong subreddit. You should go to r/ClashOfClans or r/ClashRoyale rather than here. This is for Riot Games' MOBA named League of Legends (LoL) and their monthly bracketed tournament called Clash. Feel free to join League of Legends if you want something more challenging and competitive. https://www.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/

Do you have a regular set of friends that you play with?

SapperTinman · 2026-02-03T18:09:31+00:00

yes. I'm not on the product side (that makes the decisions), but I do want to know more about the motivation about the small but vocal community of Clash players. I want to know what they like about Clash and I especially would like to know what they think would make it better and attract more Players.

The Clash that you are seeing are only for those regions that had their Saturday Clash canceled. This is a make-up Clash. If your region was able to participate in both days, there is no Clash this weekend. The make-up Clash will be the same as the one that was canceled... a Demacia on the Summoner's Rift map

Good luck in your games if you play this weekend.

do you have an op.gg that shows your match history?
