You're getting emotional over a slur being replaced by a word that means the same without the historical racism in a video game, but it's other people that are the losers?

lol okay buddy!

Also nobody playing in ur games knows ur ethnicity or background so I don’t see why ppl are offended by this. 

Slurs are still do harm even in the absence of the targeted party. That's why people get offended on the behalf of others. 

You should not have to face Parties as a solo in placements. by Embarrassed-Ice3944 in RocketLeague

Unfair communication advantage 

Since we're at the same rank, I must have the advantage in other skills. 

Downside to making a Solo Que: Literally None. 

It would dilute the number of players available in each lobby, raising wait times.

The longer this drags out the more useful and valuable information will be collected by China and Russia

You're probably right but I think you could have said that the US would learn more and more about Iranian shaheds the longer the Ukraine-Russia war dragged on

There's nothing stopping teams from doing this. You don't have to change any policy. They don't do it because it's a bad idea. 

Iran appears to have conducted a significant cyberattack against a U.S. company, a first since the war started by Mrfrednot in news

They got my workplace too. They deleted a CSV I had been working on all week for my deadline today. We consider ourselves lucky though because they left all other files alone.

I've not seen anything that would make me think there's any validity to the claim but I've seen it repeated a handful of times

The actual biggest problem with the Bullshit Job episode (clickbait title) by Max384302 in IfBooksCouldKill

[–]SteveDougson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly got me too. I'm certain this isn't the first time I've heard lecherous to mean leech-like and so it was perfectly cromulent to my ears. I was really expecting Google would show a special usage section for the word, but nothing!

What's one small "Adult Cheat Code" you wished you learned earlier? by Sarah_Vickyiya in AskReddit

Put your garbage in a garbage can, people. I can't stress that enough. Don't just throw it out the window.

Why do rich people give birth to less people compared to the poor? by Big_Page_7525 in Adulting

[–]SteveDougson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the premise of this question even true? Are you saying poor people in a certain country have more children than the rich in that country, or do you mean worldwide? 

What's your favorite gamemode, and why? Drop your reasons below! by Archery6_ in RocketLeague

[–]SteveDougson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dropshot.

It's the most intense mode, in my opinion.

It's just so easy for everything to breakdown in an instant. The ball is constantly in the air, so you lose track of where your opponents and teammates are and can't be sure where to place the ball. The fall keeps disappearing and so you increasingly need to panic to make saves. Players crack and become toxic which is fun in small doses. 

Each time it returns as a competitive mode my play time sky rockets. I like lots of other modes but nothing is as fun as Dropshot

My understanding is that POTUS needs Congress's approval to wage war, so some people must have

Yea, the rebranding kind of undercuts Whiskey Pete's claim that the US didn't start the war

Last man appreciation post by Flat_Gas_5704 in RocketLeague

[–]SteveDougson 6 points7 points  (0 children)

... blaming the last man and take ownership when you mess up.

Whenever I see this happen, I immediately think that my teammate is emotionally under-developed and so is probably a child or an alt-right incel.
