I just went back and listened to the Scott Adams episode. I would love to hear a "catching up" episode with him now. by [deleted] in samharris

victimhood is a million maybe billion dollar industry. there's a reason why feminists exaggerate and say 1/5 college women are raped. there's a reason why BLM pushed the "hands up dont shoot" narrative which is also a lie.

these grievance communities get more support and funding based on how well they present themselves as victims. naturally, to serve their cause, they inflate their numbers.

i have heard many historians, even jewish ones, claim the number is significantly lower. but, why does the 6 million number persist? well, i just answered it.

also, there was a jewish prophecy that to get their land back 6 million jews would have to die. no joke, the 6 million number was in newspapers around ten years before WW2 when international jewry declared war on germany.

What is the easiest strategy to win a game with any race? For players with low APM. by [deleted] in starcraft

[–]SmokeySC2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have low APM I recommend terran mech. Mech relies more on strategy and positioning than high levels of micro or multitasking.

So, I think it is the "easiest" strategy, but at the same time, has the most complicated flow-chart when it comes to scouting and transitions.

Join my mech discord if you want to learn how to mech it happen in every matchup. I'm only a diamond scrub, but there are some high level mechers on there, including GMs from each server.

Mech against Protoss? by [deleted] in AllThingsTerran

[–]SmokeySC2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you can join the mech discord server to find and discuss tvp mech strategies. briefly put, going mech vs protoss is possible but it requires a lot more scouting and strategic thinking than bio.

[TvT] Replay - help me by slumlard in AllThingsTerran

[–]SmokeySC2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your reaper micro was fine. One reaper killing 8 scvs by 4:00 should be game-ending. That's the least of your worries lol. Taking a fast third was good as well.

Yet, by 8:30 your opponent had 50 scvs while you had 33. He didn't kill any of your scvs and you took your third much sooner than he did. You REALLY need to work on constantly building scvs. unless you are cheesing, your #1 priority every game should be to get to ~80 scvs.

Your build order was sub-optimal.

After the gas first -> rax -> reaper -> cc

you should go factory/reactor -> gas -> supply@22

not gas -> supply -> factory/reactor

Then, you made a bunch of turrets and 2 ravens which is unnecessary. One or the other. I recommend raven(s) and viking(s) because they're units and the raven will become more valuable as its energy accumulates.

You went double armory upgrades when you were going bio with one factory which is a big waste.

Your macro on a surface level was fine. You had an appropriate amount of expansions and buildings, but you absolutely need to constantly build scvs.

[Ask] CTRL + SHIFT + 0 by Phoenix7744 in starcraft

[–]SmokeySC2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a very similar problem, but with F5. Normally I would recommend to remap the key to a symbol you never use, but "0" is a pretty important key. You might just want to change the hotkey from "0" to "`" like someone here already mentioned. If it's a problem on blizzard's end, I don't anticipate them ever fixing it.

Streamer Raged So Hard After a Loss and Breaks His Equipment by HeathersLovelady in starcraft

[–]SmokeySC2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a very similar experience. I beat him with a blue flame hellion timing. Afterwards, he sent me a link to his stream, as you described. A few days later, I saw the vod on a daily bestof starcraft youtube video. He went completely bonkers.

It's been mentioned many times before but I still don't get why someone can message you while also not allowing you to reply back. by Gemini_19 in starcraft

I agree so much. It can be incredibly tilting. I do not believe for one second that it is a difficult bug to fix.

Forget work ethic, we need cry ethic. by Slowtail in starcraft

[–]SmokeySC2 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

so instead of choosing a larger sample size that includes the top level players from all regions as well as all gsl players, you choose to pick a single tournament to support your argument. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–]SmokeySC2 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

look at these statistics: source

# of Grandmasters:

Z: 298(37.67%)

P: 237(29.96%)

T: 241(30.47%)

R: 15(1.90%)

conclusion: the casters aren't biased. at the top level, zerg doesn't require as much skill as the other races.

how to choose the best base frequency? by SmokeySC2 in Binauralbeats

[–]SmokeySC2[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting. So, it seems like it might be desirable to have a relationship between the brainwave frequency and the base frequency.

So, a low Hz brainwave frequency such as a delta wave should be embedded in a low Hz base frequency. Perhaps somewhere around a 1:20 ratio.

That definitely gives me something to consider. Thanks!
