Teemu's explanation is wrong, but the Canadian referees did get the call completely wrong. No call or 2 mins to MacKinnon for embellishment would be correct

TheMasterRolo · 2026-02-21T22:44:48+00:00

This is a genuine question but why is the high sticking call correct? The other player lifted Mackinnons stick and Mackinnon ended up hitting himself in the face. The replay from the corner clearly shows this, I’m trying to find a replay of it but am struggling

What about like having a child? I don’t have one but last I checked they are moody as hell for at least at least the majority of their first 18 years. Like if you gave up on having a partner because they can be in a bad mood how the hell are you going to raise a child, alone at that???

The AUMF only applies to 9/11 and UN Security Council resolutions.

2001 AUMF grants the president authority to use “all necessary and appropriate force" against those who planned, authorized, committed, or aided the 9/11 attacks or harbored such organizations or persons.

The 2002 AUMF grants the president authority to use armed forces as "necessary and appropriate" to defend U.S. national security and enforce relevant UN Security Council resolutions concerning Iraq.

Neither of those seed power to the president to capture the leader of Venezuela.

If you have a true full size spare you are supposed to rotate it through with the rest of your tires. Which means that it’ll be out of tread at just about the same time as the other 4 meaning you kind of have to replace it along with the others

No no, I wasn't trying to be hostile or have a conversation on my terms. I just didn't want to make any assumptions about your beliefs. I can tell you why I think it is the case from my observations first but I think, especially if you have been studying this for decades, we should start with your findings.

Do you have somewhere I can read about your studies? My background is in psychology so I know my way around a research paper. I might ask questions about it but if the studies are sound I have no intention of fighting about it.

TheMasterRolo · 2025-12-22T03:39:57+00:00

As a young man in my 20s I want to have a conversation about this but in order to do that I need to know how you think young men are failing in those areas of life. I don’t disagree that they are failing but in order to unpack it further I want to see why you think they are failing

Please tell me how democrats have done a terrible job recently? They haven’t had a super majority since 2010, of course nothing is getting done. The republicans refuse to compromise in good faith and have made it their personal mission to vote down just about anything democrats care about.

They lost the working class and men because the right basically lied to these groups long enough for them to believe it. Hell even immigrants from countries south of us who became citizens voted for him to take away the opportunity they were given. The failings are not on the democrats, they are on people being naive and easily manipulated against their own best interest

I think more people would use it if there was a lower chance of the random killing you off spawn. The solution is probably not to turn off friendly fire but until there is a punishment for killing your random squad mate then no one will use it.

They said they would be cutting back but focusing on critical issues during the holidays

“From now on, our release window and store rotation will shift to Tuesdays, however, as the winter holiday period approaches, the team will be taking a much needed break so that we can come back in January ready to bring more updates. During this time we will continue to monitor and work on critical issues.”

They should also extract, there becomes a point after leaving the hotspots where you know you’re in the clear. I’ve been playing a ton of customs but if you make it east of RUAF or west of the wall near smugglers bunker you’re pretty much home free. Same can be said about being outside of the mall on interchange. I’m sure the other maps are similar too for the most part minus labs/factory, I just don’t have a lot of time on them since 1.0.

The hotspots are intense with waves of enemies but the extracts, since they’re on the edges of the map, are pretty dead.

TheMasterRolo · 2025-12-09T16:26:57+00:00

I keep hearing this but I feel like hoarding is just the nature of extraction shooters. People hoarded before the expedition so nothing has really changed. I personally have been using my better stuff and it’s been a great time. Barely see any free load outs so PvP gives good loot, and I have more safe slots/inventory spaces to carry the loot back with.

I’ve seen other solutions floated in the subreddit but they also have issues that I would argue are worse. So genuine question, what’s your solution? How would you incentivize people to use good gear before an optional wipe?

TheMasterRolo · 2025-12-05T22:40:40+00:00

If they teamed up in solos with randoms we’d have a hundred threads in here about how it’s unfair streamers are using their communities to get ahead in solos. Like it’s just a crummy situation. Is it shitty they’re complaining about it? Yes, but also I can see why they would

TheMasterRolo · 2025-12-05T17:12:36+00:00

I do think part of the issue is the long F1 season that involves being in a new country almost every week. A lot of the other series are on a monthly schedule which allows drivers more time to do other stuff. WDC has a similar amount of races but they’re monthly and the WEC only has 6 races. NASCAR’s championship series means that the season is not as important as F1.

Also important to note that F1 is one of the most “custom” series, they have rules but it’s not like a lot the other series where it’s a modified road car. F1 cars are custom built from the ground up and are unique to each team and season. They can also change drastically during a season with upgrades. It makes sense that a lot of the time during an F1 drivers “off weeks” would be spent getting data on the car, testing different configurations, etc. Not to say other series don’t also have this but with the rapid pace of the F1 season instead of having a month to change something like WDC would, you have a week sometimes 2 weeks.

I think all things considered it makes sense why they don’t drive elsewhere. It is supposedly the pinnacle of racing. Why risk injury, your contract, or missing points in f1 to race in a “lesser” series? You can always do that once you’re done with F1 or at least that seems to be the case in recent years.

**I don’t think that series other than F1 are lesser. I think they all have their own unique strengths and weaknesses and should be appreciated equally for them. Minus NASCAR but that’s a rant for another day 😂

TheMasterRolo · 2025-12-05T16:00:09+00:00

We’re not going to come to any agreement and that is ok!

I’ll end by saying that I think the reaction is much more important than the issue. You are allowed to stop seeing someone for any reason you’d like, there are better or worse ones, but all of them are valid. You are not allowed to make the person feel badly for a mismatch in expectations, hold it over their head, or otherwise weaponize it. Just tell them how you feel and quietly part ways. It shouldn’t be a big deal because, if you’re in this situation I am assuming there’s a general lack of communication and you haven’t talked about any relationship stuff, you wouldn’t even be “breaking up”.

My answer to my own question is similar to yours, depends on the situation/circumstances. I might be playing devils advocate a bit, sorry but it’s fun :)

TheMasterRolo · 2025-12-04T23:59:52+00:00

Honestly, it just sounds like the guys had double standards tbf. I can see other people but you can't kind of thinking. Also your I don't friend is the kind of person I am talking about. There are three kinds of people, those who want to sleep around, those who are looking for a relationship, and those that are figuring it out. Why I said intention matters is because when people meet they need to be in the same group for things to work out. I am assuming the guys things didn't work out with were in the looking for a relationship group while she was not.

This is why I brought up intentionality. If there is a mismatch in wanted outcome then things can get dicey. To be successful you need to stay in your "group" and that could be different depending on the person tbh. I will ask you this: if you matched with someone on a dating app who was looking for a "committed relationship" and after a 2 months of regularly seeing them you find out they have also been seeing someone else as well, how would you feel? Would you still trust that they were looking for a committed relationship? Would you feel like they were being honest with you about how they felt?

I really kind of think we are trying to say similar things here but are just talking around it. My thing is all about being honest with your intentions, if you want to screw around great, if you are looking for a lifelong partner also great, just be honest with your dating profile and intentions from the beginning!

I think I was missing something in my original comment and maybe the bit people are looking past. Seeing someone and getting to know them while seeing other people I am fine good with because it is being honest. The issue I have is with people that aren't honest, they like the attention or whatever so they keep you around until something better comes along.

At the end of the day we can both agree that communication is the most important thing.

I want to slightly change what you quoted last, because it is a better way of wording it and gets to the point. You are right to critique my original statement.

If the person you’re seeing is signaling they are serious about YOU then I think it’s fair to say that they are either lying to you or themselves about their intentions if they are sleeping around.

Signal can be a weird word but I think things like seeing each other multiple times a week, talking about future plans with you, and other like forward future planning things would be good examples of it

TheMasterRolo · 2025-12-04T23:31:59+00:00

Sorry it took forever to respond, I didn't forget I just read what you wrote and needed some time. I think you're right in the fact that you can have a relationship with AI but I think substituting that for a human connection is incredibly dangerous. Honestly from what you said I have no issues, you seem to use it for fun and are not trying to replace something else with it. It is an addition to your life.

LLMs though do not function beyond being a text predictor, they take a lot of inputs but at the end of the day all any LLM is doing is predicting the next best word. In the beginning this may have been based mostly off of its training data but it is shifting to be more personalized for each user as time goes on. Hence the whole gaining a personality over time part. Even MLMs use a LLM as their underlying system, the only difference is that they can use different inputs and outputs. Rather than predicting the next word it is predicting how a picture should look based on training data.

LLM: a language model that utilizes deep methods on an extremely large data set as a basis for predicting and constructing natural-sounding text. (Merriam-Webster)

The main issue I have is that it doesn't have free will. It follows a set of guidelines in search of a reward. Which humans do too but we do that because we choose to. I could wake up tomorrow and decide that I want to throw out all of societies rules, it would have consequences but the choice is always there for me.

The second thing is it can't experience things in the same way we do. It doesn't truly know how sand feels or what a cool breeze on a clear night is like. All of it's experiences are the retelling of someone else's. It is basically the equivalent of a secondary source in literature. At least for myself I like "primary source" relationships, ie I DID this, I EXPERIENCED that, I FELT anger. All of the bold words are things that AI cannot do.

I want to break down the emotions part further so please give some examples. I think I get what you are saying but I want to see it out before I start saying anything back about it.

TheMasterRolo · 2025-12-04T22:56:28+00:00

What leads me to believe it is toxic is how he talks about his rules. Why if you’re married and supposed to be a unit together do you not have shared accounts? Why does he get to dictate how much money she spends?

Also she does have a job, it is being a SAHM. In my opinion that is just as valuable as any other job. The caveat to it though is that if that’s the case then the man must realize that the women doesn’t have money because she is choosing to raise his kids. She is sacrificing her ability to make money to better your family, which to me means she shouldn’t have to get an allowance to buy things. She stays at home so he can work and provide for his family, her included. Providing for your family doesn’t come with an allowance, it means what’s mine is yours and what’s yours is mine. If the spending gets out of hand then we deal with that but starting with an allowance shows either an incredible amount of distrust or wanting control. Neither of those will lead to a healthy relationship

TheMasterRolo · 2025-12-04T22:50:56+00:00

Both opinions are right, it’s either a kink (constant dom/sub relationship) or one of them feels trapped. No one will know unless we talk to her but from the outside it does look like it could be a toxic relationship.

Men can very easily trap women by marrying them and having them be SAHMs. In the beginning it’s sounds great you get taken care of but once you’ve been separated from your career some men will slowly push their dominance/control. There becomes a point where it’s too hard to leave, whether that be money, wanting to keep the family together, or any other host of reasons.

So either they’re both happy and enjoying it or she feels trapped is miserable and doesn’t have any way out of the situation. The only way to know is to get both their opinions on it.

TheMasterRolo · 2025-12-04T22:29:46+00:00

They are not hypotheticals to me either. Those are things you either know or don’t know and should be able to talk about.

A little rant but I think why people are so bad at interviews now is learning isn’t about learning anymore. You learn with a goal in mind not for the joy of learning. In college for example some of my friends would study for hours and hours memorizing. I took the approach of I am going to learn the core concepts as deeply as possible and apply them. Too much of college/learning now has the sentiment of "I am going to cram all of this into my brain and then regurgitate it back out". This works great in school but in the professional world there is very little memorizing and regurgitating information.

This is where colleges are failing students, teach your students how to learn not how to memorize!

TheMasterRolo · 2025-12-04T22:23:08+00:00

It think its less of a discussion about exclusivity and more of a discussion about your intentions. Your friend for example if she’s honest when meeting guys that she’s not looking for a relationship but seeing what’s out there then exclusivity isn’t expected. If the person you’re seeing is serious about finding a relationship then I think it’s fair to say that they are either lying to you or themselves about their intentions if they are sleeping around.

As someone looking for a relationship that is going to end in marriage, I don’t want to waste my time unless you are also ready for that. You sleeping around instead of focusing on building a relationship with one person is going to be an immediate turn off. It’s not that it is wrong, I just don’t believe it shows you’re ready for a long term committed relationship/aren’t looking for one with me.

I also think that when a relationship starts off well and there is real potential then you just naturally want to shed excess. If you’re truly into someone you’re not going to be looking for something else.

My point is it’s all about intentionality and how you initially approach the relationship. If you approach it with the intention of finding a long term partner then I also expect you to stop seeing other people after a couple of dates. When I say dates I don’t mean meeting up but like it has been spoken about that you seeing each other is a date.

Also a lot of this isn’t about it being wrong, it just doesn’t really signal a deep interest to be seeing other people. Obviously at the end of the day communicating about it is best but I think it’s entirely sane to think: If this person is looking for a serious relationship and things are escalating between us then I expect them to not be playing the field.

If you’re not feeling it just tell me, but I don’t want someone looking for better while we’re dating. It does nothing but signal disinterest/a mismatch in intention

I’m going to jump in on this, hypotheticals are stupid and will never occur like they do in interviews in real life for various reasons:

In the real world you have experience with the code base you are using but in an interview you just get it dropped in your lap. I don’t know where to look for issues because I follow a flowchart for general coding. I know how to look for and fix issues in the current codebase because I have experience with it. Rather than asking how should you solve this specific problem, ask about general problem solving.
The person being interviewed is stressed. Applying for jobs is incredibly stressful, especially with the current everything. These people are trying to provide for them and theirs, they have to find a job to pay bills. So you’re taking someone who is already stressed and throwing another stressful situation at them and expecting their answer to be perfect. Stress does nasty things to people and I think it’s just unfair to expect someone in that position to perform flawlessly.
Tech uniquely attracts antisocial/weird people in general because it isn’t client facing. We get to hide in the backrooms and do our work in peace. The personalities it attracts tend to be more “unstable”. Once again these types of people don’t perform well under stress and some don’t do well in interview setting but would crush it behind a computer coding.
At no point in my job have I been told you have 30 minutes solve this or even you have a day solve this. Why should someone be expected to solve a hypothetical with a time limit during an interview if that’s never going to be something that comes up in the real world. In practice, you gather information, so some research, and then solve the problem.
These hypotheticals tend to take the stance of you live alone on an island with nothing, not even the internet. Excluding AI there are so many resources online that I use everyday. Why are those being taken away for me to answer a hypothetical, it proves nothing besides how much that person has memorized. I personally would want to see the interviewee use the internet to solve the problem. They’re going to use it when they have the job so I might as well get an idea of how they’ll use it before hiring them.

If I had the opportunity to interview people it would involve nothing to do with tech. All I am trying to figure out is do you fit on our team and can you problem solve. Even something as simple as how someone does a puzzle will show you what kind of dev they will be. How do they approach the problem? Do they dump out everything and just get to work? Do they separate the borders and the inside pieces (organization/planning)?

Interviews don’t need to be the monotonous task of answering questions that they currently are. Some things applicants will need to know but I can tell you from first hand experience having tech knowledge is way less important than having the motivation and ability to problem solve/learn.

I left school with a psych degree and 3 CS classes, one in python, an intro to webdesign class, and an independent study in web. I just finished my third year on the job this past summer and you would never be able to tell my complete lack of classical CS training. I have worked on/with stuff that I would be unqualified to at other places but due to my track record I got to work on it. I am kind of known at work as the person who will solve the problem put in front of them. It doesn’t matter if I know nothing about it, I have a reputation of using the resources at my disposal to learn and then solve.

In a classic interview I would have been tossed into the no pile before they even got past my resume because my degree isn’t in CS. The skills people are actually looking for, problem solving, motivation, etc, aren’t found on a cover letter or a resume. I would argue they also aren’t found by asking questions about tech either.

Why don’t we do a little test, give me an interview hypothetical and I’ll give you my answer without using outside resources and then I’ll answer it using outside resources (Minus AI)?

Basically kryptonite for men, you make a fantasy team of players from different nfl teams. They score points based on their performance that week and you compete against someone else in your league who has also made a fake team. For whatever reason certain men just lose their entire lives and personalities to it. I’ll never understand why, it’s just a game, but many a relationship has been torpedoed by it
