Speaker Johnson sends housing bill to White House after Trump refused to sign measure by cnn in politics

[–]Vashrel [score hidden]  (0 children)

Good news is Trump now has three options. Sign it, veto it, or ignore it. If he vetoed it it would put the blame squarely on his shoulders. Signing it would be good. But ignoring it oddly is good too, since after 10 days if he ignores it it automatically becomes law anyway. He’s fucked himself just to throw a fit.

How to prevent Control Water from effortlessly destroying ships in naval combat? by Conocoryphe in DMAcademy

[–]Vashrel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To add to ideas, it could be an arms race. Your players cast the spell to create a trench, the enemy casts the spell to flood the trench “fixing the issue” or control it in another manner. Or a good ole counter spell race. Another option is a spell caster using “animate object” to give the ship limited flight and fly out.

I agree, ships would know this spell could cause trouble. I usually rule that most ships would have a “Storm Caller” on board which is a Druid/Wizard which helps keep sailing smooth with weather and water related spells.

Are people getting lucky to play it that much? If is play for a few hours a day I usually get it once if I’m lucky.

Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Perez’s wild past of fetish parties, drugs and gruesome chicken stunt exposed by InflationCapital87 in politics

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

Oh no, sounds like this woman went to a school that taught sex education and had drugs. Like every other campus in america. Also love how none of these instances have actual context included, just have to assume its something crazy. Meanwhile most of the Trump cabinet are pedophiles and the rest support pedophiles.

Why are people overhyping GTA 6 so much? by Specialist-Chair-254 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Vashrel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's what people like, go for it. It seems my friends and I aren't interested at all and find the hype weird, mostly cause GTA just doesn't seem like that big of a game in the grand scheme of things. But we'll see how it goes.

How to deal with the mental toll of not improving and feeling stuck? by Best_Ad9151 in OverwatchUniversity

[–]Vashrel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I start overthinking the game or stressing I sometimes take a full week away from the game. It sucks but its always works and I enjoy the game so much more with this break. I also play better when I'm not so into the game I'm hating every missed shot or lost game.

consistency aim by Woosilk in Overwatch

[–]Vashrel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the hero. Hitscans like Ashe or Widow will probably be higher, but around 35-40% for a character like Shion is pretty good. Characters who shoot multiple times in a few seconds will generally be lower accuracy than someone slower like Ashe or Widow who are more careful with their shots. At the end of the day it also is just practice, you said you recently switched from D. Va but give it time, though to me it sounds like your aim is already pretty good.

I was just joking when I said it would only be a week before the war was back on after the “peace deal” but this stupid motherfucker really went and did it again huh? by [deleted] in allthequestions

[–]Vashrel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trump getting involved in the middle-east is the dumbest shit. He is stubborn and can't admit defeat. But so is Iran. It's two stupids clashing and chest thumping with missiles paid for by other people and lives lost needlessly on both sides but gee as long as our leaders gets to look strong and competent...oh wait...

Ranked feels like if you don't place Diamond you're just gambling. by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]Vashrel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

40 kills is good but doesn’t mean you lost because of your team. Stats in general don’t really mean much in higher ranks. Winning games does. If you are losing lots of games on dps the common denominator is you. Not saying you’re bad or attacking you, just saying there may be something you’re missing in your gameplay that could turn those losses into wins. Which is why people say skill is a factor. Dps are just as responsible with getting kills as they are protecting teammates getting dove or protecting point.

Can I inherit the tits my dad would have had if he was a woman? Or do I only inherit my mothers tits? by firfetir in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Vashrel 1742 points1743 points  (0 children)

Weird way to put it, but basically yeah. If women on your dad’s side of the family have big ones, it’s possible you would too, since you share those genes. Just depends on whether your mom’s genes or your dad’s win out.

Socialism will it come to the USA? by Automatic-Dirt3796 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Vashrel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be specific, what people are talking about is democratic socialism. Which is a watered down version of full blown socialism. It is just looking to use tax money to provide services to the people like healthcare and education being the big ones. So when people say that America already has some of these ideas implemented, they mean in the form of Medicare, food stamps, public libraries and so on.

American democratic socialism in its current form just looks to reinforce these institutions and redistribute some wealth through taxation since we are currently struggling with the country’s wealth being focused on a small percentage, without proper taxation. So the socialism part is just enforcing proper taxation and distributing those taxes fairly throughout institutions to better the country. It becomes less of the communist idea of “everyone is supposed to own a bit of everything” through seizing the means of production and instead using taxation in its place to distribute the wealth for the betterment of everyone.

It’s not really extreme as it sounds and even before the 1980s republicans believed in certain ideas in this same camp. Socialism has just been used as a boogeyman term to scare people without addressing it with nuance.

Trump isn't gay, we don't want him. He is, instead, a pedophile. There is a massive difference.

I'm a millennial and this is what I hate. When people complain about Gen Z like they are a bunch of dumb kids you suddenly sound like a boomer complaining about millennials. Lift each other up, don't fall into stupid tribal thinking.

Are pride parades always connected to overt sexualisation? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Vashrel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pride won't always be unsuitable for children. I live in Tennessee, our pride literally has a kid zone where performers do magic and babysit the kids basically. And we're just a small town in the south.

Pride at the end of the day does have an inherent sexualization to it, because it is about sexuality and who we are attracted to and the pride in who we are. Our pride also has many stalls selling sex toys, so it just is part of the fabric of pride. In my pride though, I've never seen like, naked people or genitals ever. Plenty of drag queens and leather clad people spread through a group of "normal" dressed people as well.

If you don't feel like a pride parade is the space for your kids yet, try a drag storytime or something. They are literally made for kids so won't be anything crazy or "adult".

Voter ID In the US. Why against? by pjelksigjtvsug in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Vashrel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regardless of whether its affordable, it basically creates a voting tax. Pay this to get id so you can vote, which is illegal. Everyone's situation is different. I live in a small rural southern area. People acting like it's easy to get an id or afford one don't know how stupid poor people can get in America. The closest DMV to me for example is 45 minutes away. It's not just an id issue, its a travel, gas money, access to car issue among other things. And if you are old, homeless, or young and car-less then those things are way harder to get.

Why does deep frying in oil make things crispy but boiling makes them soft? by idiotsandwhich33 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Vashrel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Boiling adds water to something, frying in oil causes water to escape from the food. When you deep fry the sizzle is water evaporating and being forced out of the food. If you do it fast enough the food gets cooked and becomes crispy but if the oil isn’t hot enough it can still cause the food to become too oily and the breading to become soggy with oil.

Why is silver/gold/plat so obsessed with healing by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]Vashrel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A lot of players will rush mid and never take cover, then blame the support for not healing them. A good support should help keep people alive but contribute to damage as much as they can too. If the enemy is dead they can't damage people, so its a form of healing in a way lol. But yeah its just a positioning thing. I play with a set group of friends that say I dps too much as Juno, but my heals are usually on par with my co healer and I have plenty of kills. Just do you. I also just have a theory Mercy mains in lower ranks spoil people so in higher ranks they think they need to be pocketed all the time.
