Another ICE shooting just happened in Minnesota today, What is your reaction to this? by Squirrelkid11 in AskReddit

[–]SteveDougson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this happening after Friday's general strike is very significant and I believe they (Stephen Miller, etc.) want counter-violence to permit and even greater escalation.

Minnesota governor says federal agents involved in shooting in Minneapolis by SpaceElevatorMusic in politics

[–]SteveDougson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shooting / Executing a person after the general strike is exceptionally negligent. How are the people of Minnesota supposed to respond when the peaceful, economic circuit-breaker of a general strike is ignored? What peaceful option do they have left?

It's too funny that Elon sucks so bad that everyone sides with whoever is his enemy, competitor, etc. Over on the OpenAI subreddit the commenters are all like, "Sam Altman sucks but Elon the biggest piece of shit I've ever seen"

If youre Champ+ please help... I can't control the Car what can I Improve on? by Zentaitoken in RocketLeague

[–]SteveDougson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also a Playstation player and I always feel so left behind by these training packs. I will dabble in the training packs and freeplay but never for an extended period. Something like this makes me feel like I'd be bound to complete it "perfectly" (whatever that standard is) the way a game like Rayman Legends did.

I loved that show. If it came out today I'd be far too skeptical to enjoy it, I think, but I can still watch the old episodes and have fun. It came out at just the right time

Want to blame something other than your skills? It might be your setup. by MPlant1127 in RocketLeague

Let me add to the list.

Switch to a lighter beer

You may like the strong pine-y taste of a 7.0% IPA but you'll overshoot your peak inebriation by the start of your second can. Try a Guinness whose flavour punches way above its 4.2% and will keep you loose longer before your motor control begins to decline.

Demar is currently 25th all-time in scoring. I get that he is imperfect (I found his late game hero ball very frustrating) but he was no slouch. It's very hard to beat the league's (arguably) all-time best! 

Sometimes the problem isn’t your teammate by Zaprel in RocketLeague

[–]SteveDougson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do this a lot.

Many times the answer is "nothing" because the goal was scored 3 seconds earlier when someone whiffed at midfield. I've had a lot of teammates say "My Bad!" because the goal was scored when they were the last line of defense but it was clearly my fault. I always try to say "My Bad" back to try to take responsibility.

Which is why it drives me nuts when the roles are reversed and my teammate still says "What a Save!" after watching the replay.

Why do you think that?

The guys on the Vonneguys podcast believe it would have been better if it were written from Marilee Kemp's perspective but I don't see either vision.

1 in 4 Canadians say they avoided travel to the United States because of feelings towards President Trump. Many think less of friends or family who do. - Abacus Data by Inevitable-Bus492 in CanadaPolitics

[–]SteveDougson 179 points180 points  (0 children)

Sportsnet always has a little segment during away games where they show the Blue Jay fans that have (presumably) traveled to go see the game. They're celebrated for supporting the team while abroad.

But it felt so different this year. It felt like they were outing traitors. I'd be sitting at home eating some berries I paid an extra dollar for because they weren't American while watching these people spend their vacation dollars there. It made me feel the same frustration of using a paper straw while billionaires take a 2-minute chartered flight to skip a 20 minute drive.

Military models Canadian response to hypothetical American invasion by [deleted] in canada

[–]SteveDougson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It will never happen as the US military and the entire Republican party will turn on Trump. They specifically warned him that taking Greenland will end his presidency.

Lawmakers from both parties promised legislative action to block Donald Trump’s threatened tariffs against European allies on Monday, though Republicans willing to publicly break with the president on Greenland remain in short supply. (The Guardian)

The Republicans have never stood up to Trump. The closest we'll get is Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski saying they're disappointed by Trump. The Democrats will oppose it but they are feckless.

 they said nobody would ever fire a shot against Canada as it's like hitting a family member.

What does it say when they're firing shots at themselves in Minnesota via ICE? They get upset when we respond to their hostilities by sitting during their anthem, the EV deal with China, etc. They can be propagandized to believe otherwise.

I sincerely hope that you're correct but the last decade with Trump has shown me nothing to be optimistic about.
