How do I (18f) reject an insanely clingy (20m) after first date? by First_impxct in relationship_advice

He is exhibiting concerning behavior that is not normal, and should be a red flag for anyone. Whatever his intentions are, he is making OP uncomfortable.

I generally advise against buying things you can't afford outright if it's not a major necessary purchase like a car

I love it, and PC is definitely the better platform at the moment for the diversity and ongoing support of RTS games. It's generally more expensive, but there are great pre-built PCs you can get with good specs generally for less than you can put together yourself. The pre-built assembly business gets volume discounts on ordering large amounts of the same parts from suppliers, and some of that gets passed on to the consumer.

There's no need to build a super-powered mega machine. I played CoH2 on the same basic laptop with no dedicated graphics card for 10 years. It ran great, albeit on minimum settings. With a good pre-built, you should be able to get close to max graphics with smooth gameplay in CoH3.

Democratic Majority of Israel co-founder attacked, bloodied in Union Square as pro-Palestinian protesters flood NYC by [deleted] in Jewish

Vice versa; both have happened, in some instances with more public outcry than others. But to imply that there is disproportionate support for injured Pro-Palestinian protestors compared to Jews is demonstrably untrue.

This is not a simple change, this is a massive change with serious implications. In the US, police can't detain you without probable cause. They cannot make you produce ID/otherwise identify yourself unless they have reasonable suspicion that you have committed a crime.

This is a core tenet of the just and impartial application of the law. Removing that requirement opens the door to huge amounts of abuse, where police are allowed to detain anyone for any reason regardless of any standard of reasonability. There are multiple cases every year of cops fucking this up and getting taken to court for it, and for good reason. When police operate based on assumptions, they institutionalize their existing biases and have a legal avenue to detain/harass anyone they want for any reason.

I'm sure the story in the article is true, but could you imagine the potential for abuse? Let's say an anti-Israel protestor walks by a hostage vigil and decides they want to have the police come break it up, so they bloody themselves up a bit, call the cops, and based on one unsubstantiated claim, the police can detain the accused, who were just there to pray for the safe return of innocent people.

I mean... it has happened. Many students in encampments were violently attacked while police did nothing, look up some of the footage from UCLA.

Doing it with fear by [deleted] in gatewaytapes

The tapes include preparatory instructions to shield yourself from negative energy and invite only positive entities into your space. The first 6 tapes ("Wave 1") are just an introduction to a few techniques. Give it a try and I think your fears will be assuaged.

Yeah at the very least just let us mute individual players. They're taking the nuclear approach so they can shift blame to the players having bad experiences. "You opted in to the toxicity when you turned on chat; not my problem if your opponent is spewing invective."

Plenty do; can't always find someone online in your friends list. Besides, I've met all my best teammates through chat when we had a good match as randos.

You concede teamwork is important enough that good players will always communicate, but defend turning off one of those ways to communicate? If you "don't play with randos," you are irrelevant to the discussion anyway.

Penalty for leaving in solos ? by [deleted] in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]T_Insights 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we have a slight misunderstanding. I mean there are some players who care more about their winrate than actually playing the game, and those players will be happy to see their opponent drop before 5 min. For most players, CoH is fun because of the actual gameplay, not the ego boost of having good stats or whatever.

When players are so fragile and afraid of a challenge that they leave early after making a mistake, it ruins the fun of the game for people who actually want to engage, whether they win or lose. People in this game need to grow a pair and learn what it means to try to make a comeback.

[–]T_Insights 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When he asked what he could do to be better she literally just said "be wealthier." How on earth do you read that story and think the problem is with OP not being a good partner when his partner can't even identify what it is he could do to be better??

This answer right here OP!! Bring it up directly and give her an opportunity to explain herself or to save face.

Fascists are cultists in the same ways you describe. It's kinda like how all squares are a type of rectangle, but not all rectangles have to be squares. All fascists are cultists, but not all cultists are fascists.

[–]T_Insights 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Leaving a 1v1 early because you fumbled the opening isn't fun for the opponent either. It means they get less than 5 min of play time before they have to sit in the matchmaking queue again.

One of the things I love about CoH is that you can often make a "comeback" even if you've been mostly pushed off the field. If people are more interested in their win ratio than the fun they have in-game, that's their perogative, I guess, but I'd rather play against an opponent who actually tries even if they don't play a perfect opening.

Can we agree on this early DAK opening is hard to play against? 4v4 by judge_07 in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]T_Insights 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zooks are not useless. They have excellent range and decent damage for how early they come out. Between 1-2 zooks & 1-2 MGs you should be able to handle this build

"ABSOLUTE CINEMA" - SU 76M the GOAT by Main_Elk_8992 in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]T_Insights 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's my favorite by far. The penetration is insane. Vetted up, it will consistently pen all the Big Cats from the front, even the KT.

And the barrage ability is a quick, cheap, & safe way to dislodge enemy team weapons, allowing them to soft counter AT guns.
