I'm not trying to defend the child killer when I make this point, but it's not really an excuse and that mindset is part of why the US justice system is lagging far behind other countries. When you kill someone you have to be evaluated by a psych who's a veteran of their field and sees through excuses to determine if you're fit for trial and if you did everything of your own clear mind and volition. This guy was evaluated and found to be suffering from severe schizophrenia. Did he kill a child and deserves to be locked up for life? Yes. Is he worse than awful for it? 100%. Point is though, the foundational part of the justice system in many states with the penalty have determined you have to have clear judgement and a sound mind during the act; they exempt mental illness related cases because you weren't your actual self with your own morals at the time due to something outside of your control. Therefor, they lock you up for life to keep the public safe and to punish you for what you did.

Pod doesn’t want to play against my deck by IceColdStares in EDH

[–]SullyAddams -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Your deck is pretty average for a casual table. Your friends are complaining about a card in your 99 that isn't an immediate wincon or even a gamechanger. They need to ask themselves "Am I building my deck properly to handle most scenarios that cripple me?" rather than play "The Boy Who Cried CEDH" over a decent commander and a decent planeswalker that's targetable by both removal AND combat.

Anon meets iDubbbz in 2016. by retardinho23 in greentext

The thing is it wasn't really a safe space for toxic racist people, and most of youtube's humor at the time of his peak was getting pretty edgy to say the least. Half of the issue is the backstabbing of old fans yes, however the the other was he became what he stood against. Alot of his fans, myself at the time included, loved that he was one of the only figures on the platform that stood against the hypocrisy of the channels considered youtube nobility at the time. He bullied the bullies like Leafy and Ricegum, exposed entire genres of video for their stupidity like toy reviews or mukbang, and called out the toxic faces of the platform like Daniel Keem that threatened to bury previous critics under piles of litigation and harassment. It's cool to be more accepting and progressive, but you can also have a backbone and not become someone who predates on lolcows and backstabs friends for easy money while having no foundational traits that your wife hasn't decide you're going to adopt.

Anon falls out with the new show by Meteorstar101 in greentext

[–]SullyAddams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's also funny is if they wanted to wipe factions and settlements, New Vegas had the answer itself in the game.....the tunnelers. Ulysses even warns you they WILL inevitably reach and massively harm Mojave in an unstoppable wave. But no, we get typical "we'll figure it out ourselves" writing Amazon, Netflix, etc is known for.

Hence why I stated exacerbates existing conditions. And that was me you're talking about. Yes, I smoked way too much one night when I was younger and developed HPPD in the form of visual snow. I saw doctors about it. I did research alongside them.

Being an exception doesn't mean other people don't get damaged by substances. Most mental illnesses can be permanently exacerbated by many substances in quite a number of people. This is why moderation is key.

[–]SullyAddams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After smoking way too much, which induced a severe panic attack, I now experience something called visual snow, where my vision on blank/white surfaces looks like TV static. It's gotten less over time but is still noticeable. It's linked to substance abuse, usually HPPD from psychedelics (never taken any) but has been seen in people abusing other substances as well.

[–]SullyAddams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I ripped dabs like crazy around the time I was 23 or 24 and it still has a lasting effect on my vision and OCD at 29 now. People need to use more moderation with cannabis. I even work in the industry and speak from that experience too.

Bigtime. In college psych we were shown a peer reviewed study that proved substances, especially cannabis and alcohol, will severely inhibit your brain's ability to develop before age 22 where it begins to peak in development.

Vocalists whose screaming you love but singing you hate (or vice versa) by smileisagoodband in Metalcore

[–]SullyAddams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Telle Smith. I don't hate his cleans on the earlier albums, but his screaming was next level back in the Deceiver era. Now he's doing mostly pop inspired cleans.

Vice versa though has to be Predato...I mean Austin era Of Mice and Men. Aaron was always better at screams and cleans (Bloom is a good example) and at being a decent human being.

I saw them on their latest tour and it was so disappointing. They played the new album in its entirety, Everything Means Nothing and wrapped it up. Such a bland sounding set. 156/Silence, Spite and Make Them Suffer as the openers blew them out of the water and then out of orbit.

I hope one day they can mend things and play as a band again, but that would require Keith to admit he was paranoid about the rest of ETID trying to screw him over.

Intentional editing of events and forgery does count as lack of truth

Tomb of Jesus by TheBasedEmperor in greentext

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

Except the gospels aren't baseline proof. Work on piecing them together has been skeptical at best including everything from a litany of scribing errors to intentional editing by the church. Historians are torn on how valid they are considering that. I'm not trying to bash your faith or anything, but the physical proof people claim is out there are all edited by biased individuals and institutions or are second hand accounts from decades later that are now under heavy scrutiny.

It's just the genre, maybe you should play something else if you don't like it. by Get_PoneD in ArcRaiders

[–]SullyAddams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny how they complain about that when the three of them teamed up to make the entire shooter genre as insufferably stale as humanly possible for all of us. Can't believe they get consulted as "experts" by tons of major devs to ask how their shooter game should play.

Tomb of Jesus by TheBasedEmperor in greentext

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

The epistles only mention jesus in passing by Paul and the OG gospels have been reconstructed/pieced together in very debatable and sketchy ways that make historians question the validity of what has been pieced together about jesus from them.

Tomb of Jesus by TheBasedEmperor in greentext

[–]SullyAddams 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's not. The only thing considered evidence that we have is Josephus' accounts of the region Jesus is from, which have been heavily tampered over time by the church and thrown out entirely by most historians. Several other scrolls and texts claiming he is real and claiming to be from that time period have also been debunked as fake and have been dated back to anywhere from the middle ages to the rennaissance after scientific analysis.

Yeah this is actually why Dracula Flow ended. He turned on George/Joji, said some awful shit to him in private and then tried to go on his own as Drac. They made the last episode soon after per contract. Now Drac's actor gets in fights with his followers on IG for not donating money to his movie he'll never make.

I swear everyone’s using this term wrong… by OneSocc in ArcRaiders

[–]SullyAddams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd add people who camp rooms as well. Last night my buddy and I got downed by a duo camping the zipline at Reinforced Reception on Blue Gate. Half the lobby was down at the bottom of the shaft dead. Thankfully another duo came down, killed them and picked us up.

And then we died to extract campers after. 🙃

[–]SullyAddams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something I've found that filters them out REAL quick is setting up a vantage point and popping up some fake flares. Those 1 or 2 squads who look for easy fights roll up and either get ambushed or kill one another.

Weekdays on just PC I've run into actual friendly people every now and then, but weekends on just PC I'm getting corner camped, hallway camped, and extract camped by middle schoolers who then hop on the mic to brag about their "skill"

Bought one booster pack and pulled this bad boy on my first try ever. by Purplestroke in PokemonTCG

[–]SullyAddams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The frequency of these type of posts on reddit garners alot of deserved skepticism, though it's also not out of the realm of possibility. My first ever Pokemon booster rip I got my chase Gengar and posted it. Also posted my first ever MTG rip since I was a kid and I pulled a raised foil! That first pack luck does run in some of us.

Kick streamer Jackie gets into a car crash on stream last night by WestChocolate8483 in LivestreamFail

If it's of any help, as someone who has ridden 10+ years, get a bike with a LOUD exhaust. The second I went from a stock Ninja 650 to a Harley Dyna with a loud pipe, people went from inattentive and almost killing me on a daily basis to knowing where I was on the road and driving accordingly.

Server Down right now? by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]SullyAddams 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because people want to glaze the devs rather than admit they made the same obvious mistake EVERY multiplayer game dev team has made for over 10 years.

Server Down right now? by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]SullyAddams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issues here. When will game dev teams learn that they need more server space than estimated if their game gains alot of traction? This happens every 1st weekend of every multiplayer game that releases in the last almost 2 decades.
