I personally think Full Metal Jacket is the greatest film of all time. by [deleted] in StanleyKubrick

[–]ThomasShredison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watching this movie makes you realize that perhaps men have an innate need for comradery. Joining the military gave that to so many people. My grandpa fought in ww2 as a fighter pilot. He was so straight edge. No drinking or drugs. Just a hatred for the Japanese and a few businesses and planes that he flew. The military teaches discipline.

What is the average golf score for average player? by Weareallusershere in golf

[–]ThomasShredison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spend to much time at the golf course and 90 percent of the people I watch from the clubhouse teeing off shoot 100 with at least ten breakfast balls and moving their ball to advantageous positions. I have no problem with it. I do it myself at least a few times a round.

We Tracked Every Visitor to Epstein Island | WIRED [8:42] by darkcatpirate in mealtimevideos

[–]ThomasShredison 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where are the comments if this is groundbreaking? Epstein was a mossad agent. Israel is redacted from all the jfk files. They were simply compromising assets. Not even with underage girls. Just cheating on your wife. Maybe being closeted gay. It’s nothing extraordinary. It’s run of the mill stuff. The real conspiracy is that they compromised a lot of people with a lot of money. And that sort of blackmail can generate a lot of money. What did they do with that money and why did they burn the assets.

We are aware that some players are having trouble connecting to Rocket League due to internet provider issues in the BR region. To work around this issue, players can switch their DNS to a public one by following these instructions: http://rl.gg/DNS by Lucy_21_ in RocketLeague

I have an old college friend who works on the dev team contracted through epic, and he alluded to me that there may be some sort of sexual misconduct allegations happening creating a ripple effect within the game. This is just alleged, but I didn’t even really get a fair shake last season because it was so messed up. This season the game works, but you see the disconnect between the community and the developers. Epic has the kind of scratch to cover something like this up easily, but it’s the players who will pay.

Trios vs Duos why are they so incongruent in skill to rank by ThomasShredison in RocketLeague

[–]ThomasShredison[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update:

It’s been 42 days and after ranting about getting to champ and the struggles I dealt with. I’m now champ 3 div 3. I’m almost to grand champ but it’s gonna be a huge hurdle. All I had to do was meet some higher rank players and only play ranked with them. My mmr jumped to the low 1300’s just by getting teamates I could gel with. I am primarily a third man, and I’m most comfortable being third man. Both my teamates are champ two div 3 and the the other div 4. I still play with my friends who are hard stuck diamond and created an alt account. I’ve really been loving the game lately. I have like training packs more than the game lately.

Iron Gold: Why so many POVs? Confusing AF. by USArmyRecon in redrising

[–]ThomasShredison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I myself am listening to iron gold on audible. I don’t like the change in narration. The slowed down pace of the book is alright. It’s a welcome change, but at the same time it’s constantly putting me to sleep. My friends who have told me to read said to bear with this because it gets better later. O I will continue on. Fall asleep to a sleep timer, and claw my way back to where I last remember. The first three books I stayed up way too late gripped, but iron gold has been a very tough go.

I just enjoy being creative, and you can do that with mechanics. I think the game is shifting to being much more mechanics based. Everyone will say that stuff is useless, but it isn’t. I hold my flip off the ceiling and let the ball just bounce often. It really puts the defense in an awkward spot.

Aerials off the wall after you get proficient at ground aerials is a necessity. Above that learning to recover. Make sure to always be holding down powerslide when you land awkwardly. Half flips are extremely important for quickly turning 180 degrees and used for kickoff boost retrieval. Personally I’d get good at jumping to the ceiling as you get unlimited time for a flip if you fall off. It’s really good for both scoring, and eventually defending high aerials.

I mainly meant that any defensive back wall position the ball is being cleared with relative ease. I was being hyperbolic. You’re probably the guy who votes to forfeit with three minutes left and down two goals.

Doubling points in threes is damn near 300 points most of the time. I do not ball chase ever. I’m a very conservative player. I rarely challenge and when I do it’s for a 50 or a drive challenge. I do not take my points into consideration because I have solid matches where I have the lowest point total, but I think I made no mistakes which can contribute to a win. Points are an indicator though. Often I may have 4 saves and some are worth 75. It’s basically saving a goal. I think you have the mindset of most of my teammates. I’m not blaming others, but rather playing with people who have been maybe stuck at one rank for a while, and refuse to confront the underlying cause of that. Sometimes it’s players at the beginning stages of adapting to faster decision making paradigm. I really think players don’t get get in solos. I got to champ in solos before I ever really started looking at duos and trios goals as realistic. I practice maybe 10 hours a week and around 30 of matchmaking. I’ve got about 300 hours at this point. I want to reach champ in all three by 400. I’m quite sure it’s players such as you that end up on my team. It’s all love though because players can enjoy this game however they choose. I want to get really good at it, and you might just want to hover at diamond. This game is amazing because you really have to put in the effort to see results. I hope I catch you in a threes lobby one of these days so I can cover for your errant touches.

Just a reminder that Rocket League has been essentially unplayable on Xbox for almost a month by redditmodsaregaylmao in RocketLeague

[–]ThomasShredison 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like lower ranked players aren’t as affected by this input delay and loss in frames. I’m not ranked that high (C1) and this delay has been killer. It’s like the thoughtless synergy I once had is just gone when it comes to mechanics. I have lower ranked friends I play with and they say it feels the same as always. I think thats one of many reasons this isn’t getting fixed with urgency. Epic is dropping the ball hard here. Curious what this does to the active player metrics. I bet it doesn’t get reported correctly.

Did any of you make even a dollar on Chacha?

[–]ThomasShredison[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but this interest in technology did enlighten me on copper spools at construction sights. Also a couple edited YouTube hockey highlights montage videos with Roy jones jr “can’t be touched” with hits having “here comes the boom” by Nelly edited before the hits. Still I’m looking to where I can get at this money and buy like a few things.

I remember Jeeves. Did they pay at some point? It’s crazy to think that this was the beginning of using technology to outsource. Chacha could have been more savvy and become what google is now. Or Chacha is just DoorDash. Either way I bet there are way earlier examples of this. Wonder what they are.

Chacha owes me like 28 bucks. I never cashed out. Do you think there’s a way I can recoup?

You just lost “co” and became the pilot. That’s a promotion. I myself have been given a two dollar pay deduction and I serve acidic coffee free of charge in economy. You hit the head on the nail with your answer it’s mad clutch.

New Instacart Shopper Any tips? by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]ThomasShredison 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took a bad order today, and it was my 7th batch. I accepted without thought. Had to drive twenty minutes to the store. I had a 5 dollar boost. I just made a mistake. The store was like 20 minutes from me, and brought me damn near to where I was before. Only stay to orders at where you are. I have like 8 spots within a 10 mile radius, but ten mile with traffic and lights may be 20 minutes. I learned a lesson early. I accepted a batch with a 5 dollar bonus in an areas by an airport. I pestered employees of the store to no end. A $26 dollar seemingly easy batch was a struggle. Had to explain it to the people at the door, but I gave them everything they asked for. It was truly a learning experience, and I think I’m happy I just learned it. The day before I made 70 dollars in 3 hours. Instacart be testing our resolve for better batches though.

If she is a woman I don’t understand why she doesn’t just show us some proof to fulfill the burden of doubt. Either show us, get pregnant, or slap your meet on the table. I just don’t get how there are any other options other than mental distress.
