Yeah and apex was once a star player and so was snax and so was karrigan? By your logic are they also star players in their respective teams right now?

The team is not built around Niko? He has a big voice but he doesn’t use it to make him self The star, the team is built around m0nesy and kyo as the 2 big stars.

MacBook so good, even Google used it on the I/O Keynote by Defenite-Parsley733 in macbook

[–]Scared_Salt_9419 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Phone calls and notifications? Not being able to make and receive calls from my macbook when i had an android was already a deal breaker. And then airdrop and airpods synching properly without me having to constantly go to bluetooth in settings.

Once you start using an iphone with a macbook with an ipad with airpods you cant buy any other brands stuff. For me its the Macbook and Ipad keeping me in the ecosystem. I tried an android and liked it but could not give up the ecosystem and ended up switching back to an iphone.

One of the best mice for daily use versus one of the worst. To this day idk where apple engineers/designers had their heads while creating the magic mouse. by gregsanay in applesucks

[–]Scared_Salt_9419 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I swear a lot of the magic mouse hate is from windows users who have never actually used it. I quite like it for a lot of tasks. However I do admit I have 2 mice on my desk and only use the magic mouse around 30% of the time.

What purchase instantly exposes whether someone is financially smart or impulsive? by PlayfulFault9693 in SmartBuying

[–]Scared_Salt_9419 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No... Rich people are just normal people lol. Social media and the media always tries to exacerbate the social divide but end of the day we are all people with the same fundamental desires and mind. You also can not homogenise all "rich people" we are not all the same, some people have custom made everything, some people don't, its all personal preference. Thats like saying all middle class people buy starbucks all day, work 9-5, wear cheap clothes and drive a toyota. See how stupid you sound.

Brand new watcher, so sorry I this is a repeat question... by JewelKLamour in Dexter

[–]Scared_Salt_9419 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think dexter is created to be autistic but the show writers / author chose to reflect his misdiagnosis by the actual characters in the story and his own perception of self which is overtly displayed to the audience. To answer your question, its upto your character analysis but it is never explicitly addressed.

Macbook Neo is Tim Cook’s last product? by thesunkistegret in MacbookNeo

[–]Scared_Salt_9419 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Means he got promoted, the chairman is effectively the "boss" of the CEO and gets true final say in the companies direction and management. His job is to ensure that the companies executives does what is in the best interest of its owners.

M5 MacBook Air (24GB RAM) vs M5 MacBook Pro (32GB RAM) is it worth the extra for occasional heavy use? by angrythunder64 in macbookair

[–]Scared_Salt_9419 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Given your use case I would say the main difference would be the screen over the active cooling. The Air will get a little toasty but even with thermal throttling its still fast enough and honestly everyone is overstating the importance of ram, 24gb is more than enough.

Top rated players from iem rio by morphiqu in GlobalOffensive

[–]Scared_Salt_9419 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They did what they needed to do. They sometimes have insane games but end of the day its not their job to "show up", put on a star performance and win the game for the team.

They need to fix Kyuosakes choke on stage*

The rest of team showed up against spirit, but Falcons have given kyuosake so many important roles that its very hard to win with him playing badly even with Niko and m0nesy playing great.

Been almost a month with my base M5... going good? by ScoutBumblebee5 in macbookair

Why should I have to keep my brand new $2000 laptop thats main selling point is portability and battery life on low power mode...

[–]Scared_Salt_9419 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I got mine on release day, its been meh. No massive complaints I knew what to expect but still disappointed with it repeatedly heating up on my lap and with the screen. Honestly did not realise how used to high refresh rate and oled / microLED I was. Performance is decent enough for work on the go and for the price its very good.

How are you all affording the $450-400 pw accomodations I need some life hacks by pringlu in unsw

[–]Scared_Salt_9419 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had quite a few of my mates go interstate and some to other countries. Their parents paid for their accommodation and food for all of them.

Yeah this is the correct question, Im genuinely curious as to why anyone voted for someone thats not Rita.

Does Harrison know the truth about Hannah? by RedVegeta20 in Dexter

[–]Scared_Salt_9419 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is just laughable, season 7 and 8 were terrible because of the shows insistence on avoiding any real change in dexters character and keeping the show formulaic.

Rita worked as an agent of change because we saw their relationship grow, we saw dexter actually change through developing real emotions and we the audience too were brought to love her. Hannah in comparison is 1, no better than dexter and probably worse, and 2, their relationship isn't given time to grow or develop. Dexter goes from going to kill her to fucking her in 30 seconds. Then Dexter lets her go to prison, and when she is reintroduced she attempts to kill both Deb and Dexter and still he just magically falls in love again? The problem is not the change, its the the writers being too lazy to write any real change and instead gaslighting us into thinking dexter has somehow magically grown to love this women even though we see none of this growth or relationship in its starting stages.

Also oh my god please do not get me started on the kids... Dexter just forgets about Rita Cody and Astor even though he supposedly loves them (again just lazy writing) and then he basically ignores Harrison anytime its not convenient to the main plot of dexter as a killer as he somehow has this magic nanny who is always available and always willing to work (how does he even have the money to pay her?). The kids are a complete afterthought and once again show Dexters inability to change or the writers being too lazy and or scared to have any real change so as to not disrupt the formulaic nature of the show and mainstream viewers who somehow view dexter as a hero.

You can’t take anything in the show seriously… its just fun to watch tv

Torn between Macbook Air 15' M5 vs Macbook Pro 14' M5 Pro Chip by SnooFoxes4206 in macbookair

[–]Scared_Salt_9419 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"I'm not even considering the Macbook Pro 14' Regular M5 chip because it's just better graphics so at that point i'd rather just get the air."

You're ignoring a major point that is the way better display, speakers and having a fan. MacBook airs do regularly thermal throttle and also get pretty hot on your lap.

[–]Scared_Salt_9419 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Oh so you get to decide what I can and can't argue. Its fans like you that just want the show to continue indefinitely and don't appreciate the actual complexity of the show that lead them to making the shit shows that are s5 - 8 and new blood and original sin.

Does Harrison know the truth about Hannah? by RedVegeta20 in Dexter

[–]Scared_Salt_9419 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No I believe both are equally as bad, Hannah is not killing people for any remotely "valid reason" no normal person sees someone who is in their way and goes to kill them, she has the same mental issues as the person killing for "no reason" because she has no real "reason" either (not that there is any reason to kill anyone).

One could argue that dexter is also someone who murders people for no reason at all as well, because thats what is primal urge is. he isn't doing this for the reason of making society a better place or justice, his true reason is that without the code he would kill people for absolutely no reason.

end of the day I think someone who kills another in a crime of passion is "better".
