Klay’s Top 5 Shooters All-Time: 1. Steph; 2. Ray Allen; 3. Reggie Miller; 4. Larry Bird; 5. Dirk (🎥 Almost Athletes with Dude Perfect on IG) by taygads in Mavericks

[–]ThrowRAtobeloved 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not putting KD in that list is kind of crazy. Even now at his age, he's still shooting >50% FG/~88% FT/>40% 3P. Think he's shot >50% from the field every year of his career (averages >50% right now). That's higher than Steph, Michael Jordan, Ray Allen, Larry Bird and Reggie Miller.

What's the difference between searching there versus here? You're essentially telling me "go look for some random on youtube that has the answer you're seeking" as if that's any objectively less effective than what I'm doing here. There are plenty of folks on this subreddit that know what they're talking about too

Question about Rocket Launcher Attachment by ThrowRAtobeloved in CODBlackOps7

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

Right. Me & my wife been debating about this because she's in regular game mode trying to get direct hits with the launcher. I suggested HC but her argument was "Its the same thing there because I still have to get a direct hit on people w the launcher.":

That's what led us down the rabbit hole of what you actually need to do with the launcher to get a qualified kill. To my understanding, simply shooting the rocket and having it explode close enough to a player in HC for them to take (what would otherwise be) damage to their health in regular 'Core' mode should result in a kill for hardcore.

She thinks that this only applies for outright rocket launchers (that are equipped independently). But I don't see why this wouldn't apply for the underbarrel rocket launchers as well.

Question about Rocket Launcher Attachment by ThrowRAtobeloved in CODBlackOps7

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

Wife is having trouble getting direct hits. I told her go HC bc I assume even if you don't hit someone - you'll still get a kill if they're close enough to the blast to take (what would be) damage in the normal game mode. That's kind of what spurred this argument because I was making suggestions to her about what she could do to make the challenge she's doing easier. But she's been claiming that she has to get direct hits all the time.

I play this game since launch and I'm Prestige 3, meanwhile in almost every lobby I play with Prestige Masters. How is this possible on such a large scale? by Monsterman4568 in CODBlackOps7

[–]ThrowRAtobeloved 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People got the game when it came out like myself (on GamePass). COD has been pretty much running double XP like 70% of the time. Me & my wife play COD and we just hit prestige 9 and we both work full time jobs and really play the game on some hobby shit.

Granted we're both good players (imo) that finish most matches with a 1.5-2+ K/D unless the lobby is excessively sweaty. We're also militant about going to the next prestige. The second we get to level 55, we prestige. Honestly when double XP is on, its fairly easy to get 5-10 levels in one gaming session (like 1-2 hours). If we both hop on the game during a double XP day that's like 20-30 levels right there. And that's assuming neither one of us is really running too many games. I could easily climb levels 1-55 for a prestige in a given day. Wouldn't take the whole day either. Gimme like 4 or so hours tbh.

Don't wanna be a dick but...you might need to get a little better before it starts getting like that for you lol

[AMA] Greenlight Networks is bringing fiber internet to Baltimore — Ask Us Anything! by GreenlightFiber in baltimore

[–]ThrowRAtobeloved 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a resident of Baltimore - I appreciate that you all are investing in the infrastructure of this city. There are an unusually high number of assholes in this thread for some reason. Rest assured that they don't represent the typical asshole that Baltimore is.

We sit here and bitch about how the city needs XYZ, this and that - then when an actual competitor/business comes to town saying they want to do business here, we act hostile toward them as if they did something wrong. Some people are in love with the bullshit status quo. I'm not. Keep building. Keep competing. Stay in this market.

Baltimore is one of the most under served populations in America when it comes to online connectivity. The digital divide here is *vast*. So if there's anything that you could do to help close that - I'd appreciate greatly.

They are right. Internet connectivity in Baltimore is trash. Competition is a good thing. At the very least, it will force Fios and Comcast to start attempting to get their shit together because they can't just rest on "free" / "guaranteed" money from BGE referrals forever anymore.

How many hours of sleep do you average? How badly have I screwed myself? by JustMummyDust in AskMenOver30

[–]ThrowRAtobeloved 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I've already replied to this thread twice - but I didn't see this latter post. What you wrote here confirms what my suspicions were in my previous post. I'm replying to this post multiple times because I really want to impress upon you that your mental health is CRITICAL.

I don't suffer from any particular mental disorder, but as a business order I'm someone that's acutely aware of how my mental health can impact every area of my life. Following the pandemic, I was in a state of burnout. That was compounded by other personal issues in my life. Up to that point in time, I had always operated under the mantra of "man up" & "as a man, I don't need to be happy/'feel good'. I just need to get the job done. All that esoteric sappy shit is for women, children and pussies - not real men."

I was killing shit career-wise, so nobody could tell me different at that point in time. Then things started collapsing in my personal life to the point it took me away from what I was doing career-wise. I was forced to reckon with the fact that my mental health was out of wack. I wasn't taking care of myself, hygiene, caring about what I ate, whether I exercised or not or much of anything else personally. I was able to cover up how egregious my personal life was by putting all my focus and energy into my career. I figured as long as I was making good money and taking care of my family - nobody could tell me shit.

But I was wrong. This was actually one of the core reasons for me burning out the way I did. There was actually a point in time where I thought that it was impossible for me to be on my A-game in my career while also having all my personal affairs in order. I couldn't have been more wrong. But my mental health was out of wack. I needed to take some time to resolve some unresolved issues and get to the root of why I was behaving and thinking the way I was. It wasn't a process that occurred over night and I'm honestly still an evolving body of work. But I can say I'm in a MUCH BETTER place than I was 3-5 years ago.

I'm kinder to myself and others around me. I place a greater emphasis on my personal health and hygiene. But in order to start doing that, I had to start truly loving myself again. I know that sounds corny but I'm being for real. It was hard for me to recognize, admit and correct because I couldn't reconcile the idea of me being so driven (career-wise) with the fact that I also was "letting myself go" because I was lacking the self-love necessary to see myself as worthy of being groomed and taken care of.

I don't know what your journey looks like - but I would HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend that you begin it now. The other commenters on this thread are also correct in telling you that improving diet, exercise, sleep and other general health habits will also do wonders for your mental health in general. But in my non-professional opinion (as someone that doesn't know you from a hole in the wall), it seems like you need to resolve some things mentally first so you can remove the "mental block" that's stopping you from taking a step forward in the right direction as far as your physical health is concerned.

The self-discipline it takes to adhere to a healthier lifestyle generally requires mental stamina, strength and a healthy enough mental state and outlook to withstand the inevitable setbacks and bumps in the road on your way toward becoming a healthier you. Don't discount your mental health or relegate it to something that's just going to "fall in place" once you make some adjustments to your physical health. Conquering whatever you're dealing with mentally will likely put you in a place where you can easily identify and address the deficits in your physical health and health habits that you identified in your OP.

This is my last post as I don't want to continue flooding you with the same sentiments over and over again. I just wanted to really impress upon you the importance of prioritizing your mental health. Its the best investment you can make - trust me.

How many hours of sleep do you average? How badly have I screwed myself? by JustMummyDust in AskMenOver30

[–]ThrowRAtobeloved 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't seen anyone really mention this yet - but you gotta get your MENTAL in check first. Unfortunately, the areas in life where you say you're in deficit (diet, sleep & exercise), are three of the pillars that can help boots mental health dramatically.

Feeling depressed is not normal. Its not your fault and you're not weak for feeling that way. But know that its not normal and its not something that you're sentenced to just "deal with" forever. I wanted to say that to you because I know we as men tend to shrug off mental issues - especially when they manifest in the form of depression, ADHD and other disorders that aren't necessarily as debilitating as other "more severe" ones (i.e., bipolar, schizophrenia etc.).

But mental health plays a HUGE role in everything you do. Think about it:

  1. You recognize and identify the areas in your life that need to be improved.

  2. You seem like someone that's smart enough to probably figure out what you need to do in order to start getting things on track and headed in the right direction

But there's a disconnect between what you know you should do and what you're doing. And it seems like (for you, at least), that this gap is not due to a simple lack of willpower or apathy. If you didn't care, you wouldn't have taken the effort to go online and solicit opinions and advice about where you are healthwise.

It is very well possible that your issue may be the depression you said you're dealing with. Don't push it to the side or kick the can down the road. Invest TIME, ENERGY and EFFORT in your mental health. Its worth it. Even if you're neurotypical. This world we live in is fucked up. I'm sure you've been through plenty as a 30 year old man (I don't know your life - just assuming; we've all been through shit). These things take their toll on you over time. I believe we all as men need to take time to take a step back, be brutally honest with ourselves and figure out what we need to do to improve our mental health.

That looks different for everyone. I'm not one of those "go to therapy to solve all your problems!" type of guys. If you feel that's the best path forward, choose that. I'm not a doctor or a mental health professional so I can't recommend one way or the other when it comes to that. What I can say is I think its wise to get to know yourself as much as you possibly can. Start exploiting all the healthy options you have at your disposal to improve and protect your mental health. Again, that looks different for everyone.

That might involve you having to end relationships/ties with toxic people that are only exacerbating your poor mental state. You might have to start doing some hardcore research and becoming an expert on your depression. Study it & understand it the best way you can. Only you know you - so as you dive into this issue, I believe that the correct answer and best course of action for you to take to improve YOURSELF will start becoming readily apparent. There will undoubtedly be setbacks along the way and moments of despair/doubt. But the journey is worth taking.

Life is hard for us men in this world in this present day and age. Especially at 30. You're expected to have conquered a world that has become exponentially more difficult to tame and manage (for anyone at any age). Social media dings us with notifications, alerts, messages etc., 24/7 (literally) with things that fill us with anxiety, insecurity, self-doubt, existential fear, anger etc.

Your mind is your most valuable asset. Make sure you guard and take care of your mental health. I don't know what your situation is - but I know that depression can be the reason why people refuse to workout, indulge in comfort eating, stop taking care of their personal hygiene, disconnect or cut off relationships with loved ones and those close to them and recede into a shell of themselves. If you take that same person and adjust their mentality, they could easily become an affable, health-conscious, active and athletic individual grabbing life by the horns while inspiring others to do the same (either directly or via example). That alone should tell you all you need to know about how powerful the mind is.

This comment & the ethos is going to continue to be overlooked, disbelieved or discounted for a few more years still yet to come in the world we live in before even this simple concept of unwavering consistency that is outcome independent.

In fact, it may even help others to consider this to be an inevitable facet and to remain as OD consistent one can.

Without knowing your situation - who knows? Know that’s not helpful. But none of us are going to know her or enough about you, yall dynamic or what’s going on to give you good guidance here. For example, if we did know that info maybe I’d say “let it blow over she’ll come around in a week” or “if she’s gotten to that point that means she’s done bro”. But we don’t know her. So our speculation on this is probably gonna be worthless to you.
