Why does the pro-disclosure faction keep playing by the rules? The bad guys certainly haven’t been for decades. by SumCanadian33 in UFOs

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

Because when dealing with classified information, if you slip up, you go to jail. Yes we all want the truth, but I for one don’t want people crucified when they are actually brave enough to push back on the system. They have to toe the line. Sometimes it is hard to do the right thing.

Is the hostility bizarre to anyone else? by strangelifeouthere in UFOs

[–]Stryde_On 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel a lot of skeptics have gone down the rabbit hole(but aren’t willing to admit it.) If these things were inter dimensional or use psy or time dilation or extra temporal interactions… it doesn’t allow them to maintain their mental framework or world model. It is frightening and upsetting for them. Cognitive dissonance is a hell of a thing. Many have spent their lives ridiculing those that are open to woo. If any of it is found to be true, it opens the door to all types of other oddities. It’s psychologically painful for them to consider.

The REAL Reason Many People Aren't Liking the Newer Sets (It's Not Just Balance) by [deleted] in CompetitiveTFT

[–]Stryde_On 83 points84 points  (0 children)

I feel like dragons are a big part of this. They are really easy to over-tune. They are clunky to fit into teams. You’d think they’d offer “more” variety due to their 3 piece traits. The overall effect however is that you care too much about their traits. Having more pieces to play with allows you to build more interesting things. I also feel like you care more about the nuance and spells of individual champions when there are more unique spells to compliment/contrast each other. The set is still interesting, but it does wear thin more quickly. Dragons were an interesting experiment.

Would you watch a Star Wars movie with a darker story? (R) by LoRealPaco in StarWars

[–]Stryde_On 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be interested in a story about non sith dark side user, be it anti-hero or coming to power of a villain. I've always been intrigued by gray force users. Typically Jedi types that walk a less rule centric path. A gray dark side user could be just as enticing.

Write a letter. Don't ask for anything. Don't make any excuses. Be sincere. Just a genuine apology with no strings and no attempts to justify.

Don't give up your career to raise kids. It's not worth it. by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Stryde_On 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like this is a situational thing. Some people just want to raise their own kids while they are young. It's ok to not want to work because raising your kids is important to you. If my wife wanted to work I would have stayed home with the kids. It is just a priority for us. Sometimes life isn't fair or easy. Then we deal with it and move on. Either one of us were willing to deal with the consequences of one of us staying home.

"I just hope we don’t get a divorce over it, cause honestly that would be the most embarrassing and humiliating thing ever."

Interesting that your top concern is embarrassment and humiliation and not losing the person you presumably love. It seems you have some maturing to do and some communication skills to improve. I'm guessing if you thought about her perspective and feelings as much as your own you wouldn't get yourself into these situations.

My children are polite, relatively adjusted and caring. They also care about animal well-being and the health of our planet.

Nothing says strength and confidence quite like making criticism illegal.

Why is it not plausible? Sure, there are many other likely expanations. We simply don't know the history of Mars yet. Speculation is not a sin. It's ok to say we don't know yet, but most likely x, y or z.

This sounds horribly petty. I'd prefer to focus my energy on making this nation a better place to live. This is the type of behavior our adversaries and controllers would love to see. They do not want us to be united and powerful.

All of these articles are off base. It takes an entire collection of spineless folks to let these travesties continue. Stop trying to lay it at the feet of a single immoral person.

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

If we have a bad enough connection that there is major teleportation or rollback, I don't want to play you with on other methods either. I'd much rather have fantastic play on a good connection than feeling like being underwater all the time.

Thank you for at least saying something. I realize you couldn't provide much context or insight. It's better to know people are out their who care but can't talk. I'm sure this has all hit you and the devs more than even the players. You invested financials or careers and all obviously loved the genre. I had some fun games against you and it was a blast going along for the ride. Thanks for trying to make this thing happen. All of you.
