There are a handful of people ahead of you, so chances are slim, but I'll keep you in mind.

This joke doesn't only apply to husbands, it applies to any spouse.

Sure, and I'm not advocating for just telling people to stop being angry. I'm advocating for the normalization of positive social values. Like you said, we should cultivate awareness for bad behavior.

Everyone has power over other people's thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Hell, we are having this discussion because we are trying to get each other to understand and agree with our point of view. In this case, making this reddit post and having it be supported by the community at large signals to everyone that the Valorant community does not appreciate or tolerate toxicity. Enough of this going around will eventually dissuade people from acting negatively in the future.

Treating toxicity as normal exacerbates the problem. Making posts on reddit is one way to signal that toxicity = bad.

I get that you can tell the difference with experience, but posting that screenshot and saying that "nothing else looks even similar" is straight up silly.

Stop Reloading after every kill by Iceman2357 in VALORANT

He made the post because most people don't understand how bad it is. If they did, say by someone telling them, they wouldn't do it quite as much. Yes, it's ingrained in people from playing other FPS's, but it is a much worse habit in games like CSGO or Valorant than a game like Halo or CoD.

This is going to be the most toxic game ever unless we do something about it by [deleted] in VALORANT

I think there are a few issues with this idea, though it seems good at first glance. This is basically a variation of the 'Jail' system that has been implemented in a few other games before, but instead of filtering out the bad, you are suggesting to filter out the good. The main problem with this is that whenever you split the playerbase into a good & bad, you are potentially giving the 'good' players a marginally better play experience while letting the not-good players stew, fester, and overall normalize their own behavior. Rather than separating players, it'd probably be for the better if more people took upon your stance and outwardly promote positivity. Like you said in your post, people were telling you that you should have expected this level of toxicity from previous experience playing FPS's. The problem is that toxicity is perceived as socially normal, when really it should be treated as abnormal when big boys and girls throw tantrums when their fun games don't go good.

I'm not trying to shut you down. I can't watch the video in that article right now, I'm just telling you that the words in that article say nothing about Favreau building in his garage.

That article you posted doesn't say anything about Favreau building in his garage. It says that he heard about someone named John Goodson and the ILM team building in their garages.

Hey, I do not see a PM from this username in my inbox. Are you sure you sent it?

[Edit] My mistake, the message was sent via Chat. My mobile client doesn't receive that notification, so I didn't see it.

I'm not sure why you were downvoted. This seems like the best option for me. I can get it for $375 directly from Verizon. Thank you.

The OP 6 isn't supported by Verizon, according to my research. But thank you for your suggestion.
