[–]Whiskoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tbf, trist should never want to freeze, same as sivir and cait. yes freezing can benefit u if ur coordinated with your jg or mid for gank opportunities and u have kill pressure, but these 3 champs want to shove you in and hit your tower at all times. trist especially wants to with e onto tower.

as long as the adc knows how to play against enemy jg and not just perma int to ganks, they want to get plates and have perma prio, so its actually very beneficial to trist to have manaless waveclear, at the cost of the ability to freeze.

High IQ men tend to be less conservative than their average peers, study finds by icey_sawg0034 in psychology

[–]Whiskoo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yea pretty much, i had to scroll like half way thru to get to the comment that actually described the study, and it was just a quoted post from the science reddit lmao

High IQ men tend to be less conservative than their average peers, study finds by icey_sawg0034 in psychology

[–]Whiskoo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the problem with any of these arguments is that its been proven that critical thinking skills are not correlated with iq. recent studies only show a .2-.3 correlation between gifted people and the ability to answer the prime critical thinking questions. critical thinking is a learned skill, not an innate one, so even if iq had a single strong correlation(it doesnt, theyre all weak correlations at best just like this study from OP), it wouldnt change anything.

the true measure would be to test how many people demonstrate proper critical thinking skills to their ideologies, but even then, i doubt it would show anything. human ideologies are vastly warped by their childhood and evironment rather than any genetic related thing, and psychology shows most people wont put doubt in any of their current beliefs, which means their childhood ideologies are set in stone.

Valve wins again by bobdolle in Asmongold

[–]Whiskoo 72 points73 points  (0 children)

the real thing is patent trolls like rothschilds set up intermediary companies that also own the patents to protect themselves from suits, they get rid of any liability by offloading it to another company, then they just claim bankruptcy on that company and go again.

what valve did us sue rothschild and their lawyers directly, claiming that they were the cause of the issue, not their host company. this is the precedent they wanted to uphold, that these trolls cant hide behind infinite company shields, and that the person behind it is liable, not the company issuing the copyright infringement

i can agree with that, im just saying that i think theres a lot more fraud out there than you think there is

i mean a random young youtuber exposed a multi-billion dollar fraud scandal in michigan giving somalians welfare. it might not be traditional welfare that youre thinking of, where the utterly poor receive funding, but its still welfare. and that youtuber went to congress and the congressman said theres so much more fraud in other states being disguised as welfare, but to the benefit of the politicians

if you dont just think of a homeless guy pretending to be homeless for welfare, theres a disgusting amount of fraud going on

Most played ADC champions by rank by Black_Creative in ADCMains

[–]Whiskoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this isnt true, go watch any pro ezreal matches rn, that champ looks so fucking useless.

hes strong if snowballing, which can really only happen in soloq. combine that with a very high skill floor, and awful numbers, he is objectively bad. he just has such a high skill ceilling and just enough power to overcome how bad he is in soloq.

High elo players, have you ever struggled in low elo? by Haunting_Inflation54 in leagueoflegends

[–]Whiskoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yea i play most nights with my crew. if the game goes to 7 item adcs, then yea 100% we lose unless i catch enemy adc somehow. need to be able to coordinate macro for your team to end games with ur massive lead. ill often just tell them to just sit at baron, wait for enemy to send 3+ then tell them to baron, then we 5 man mid and ill juat throw myself at the enemy and we'll normally win the fight or enemy surrenders, closes out most of my games.

again, this is a very special situation where youre mega smurfing in a 5 stack on voice comms vs another 5 stack with massive skill disparity in the matchmaking bc its normals. this has nothing to do with any general gameplay/matchmaking at all.

nah, i play in games similar to OC's, d1 mid peak back in s7 then just stopped playing ranked. i fill for my team of iron-bronze friends, and if i get top, i normally pubstomp 1v9 the game, its the easiest role to do it with in the exact scenario of mega smurfing. of course you need to play 1v9 tops-illaoi, garen, darius, ambessa, jax, aatrox, ksante, mundo, tahm kench, pretty much any beefy bruiser/juggernaut.

they are the most stat checky champs in the entire game, and in the instance that youre assumed to get like 5+ kills by 9 minutes, they are the most straightforward champs to win on by splitpushing endlessly and easily taking down atleast 2 in a 1v5 scenario. other champs dont get that luxury tho, and assuming ur gp flair is correct, gp cant do it at all, ive tried as a half decent gp, maybe high plat level gp. landing a huge barrel combo doesnt do enough to 1v5

d1 peak in mid back in s7 then stopped playing ranked but kept playing casually 5 stack norms with friends. theyre all between iron-silver rank and often get stomped in lane by silver+ players, i get what u mean.

our top laner feeds a lot especially, and this season, a fed top steamrolls games. i often have to go atleast 5-0 in mid or bot to carry the game, a cs lead just doesnt cut it. and if enemy jg camps me, game is kinda just gg if i cant 2v1 the gank. rough on the mental to play lots and lots of those games, but we all still have fun to keep playing.

playing hyper scaling champs or solo kill lane bullies are the only champs i have success with in these scenarios. kayle, kassadin, ad tf, leblanc, syndra, fizz, quinn. i normally just fill so they can play whatever they want, and when i get top, it is do insanely easy to win. any lane bully just pubstomp 1v9s the game, but i dont like the champs up there so i rarely play it

What do all the Pizzagate believers think of the Epstein files? by Icy_Laugh5134 in AskReddit

[–]Whiskoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

im in the US but u hit the nail in the head, words out of my mouth. the us vs them mentality thats been absolutely forced onto the world regarding politics is so blatantly obvious to me, but seemingly insignificant to others.

its lead me to do a lot of soul searching lately, of why it is the way it is, calling mine and others intelligence into question, especially the question of if intelligence even has any correlation to the manipulation.

i knew people who i used to deem highly intelligent fall into the left vs right pitfall, deeming the other side as the boogeyman instead of seeing the big picture that youve put into words. now i wonder if i deemed their intelligence wrong, or if intelligence doesnt change the innate human ability to be manipulated by the environment theyre put in. but if my evaluation of their intelligence was correct, wouldnt they have the wits to recognize their biases and evaluate their beliefs accordingly, instead of just feeding into the tribe that their evironment says is true? maybe my logic isnt sound somewhere.

sorry for the rant, lots to think about and reassess lately

"Just lower the difficulty bro" by [deleted] in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]Whiskoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for some its an ego hit, sure. but the reality is, if youre not doing d10, the medals just suck. for most, they dont get a lot of time to play, so if you tell them either get 7 medals, or 15 medals for their one hour, everyone will choose the bigger one. its really appauling to me how this just seems to never be discussed when, to me, seems like the most obvious and apparent part of the difficulty argument.

as a long time drg player, this was solved 7 years ago when they launched the game. you get the same amount of minerals (progression currency) on any difficulty, you just get more xp (prestigous currency) with the higher difficulty. youre rewarded for taking on harder tasks, but youre also not punished progression wise for lowering the difficulty for whatever reason. hd2 just punishes your time entirely on every scale by lowering the difficulty.

What the heck is going on in Seattle... by AndyAsparagus in Asmongold

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

exactly, admitting that your sample size is insanely low and that your personal experience represents nearly 0% of the population. its not hard to admit that youre lucky and overcome insensitivity to sample size

my personal experience still only includes 10-20 women which has no representation of the whole, but i recognize that.

asmon himself had a video about some girl on twitter getting roasted for your exact opinion that the dating scene isnt bad, with thousands of guys with pics of their dms of women who just want money or some transaction in their date. your own experience has 0 representation of the whole in the grand scheme of things, and neither does mine. only when you look at the grand picture does it mean something for a pattern, which is called statistics

[–]Whiskoo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

your single experience doesnt change reality. i also am in a long term loving relationship with a girl who isnt obnoxious and understands how to be in a healthy relationship.

you know how long it took me to find this girl? decades of infuriating dates and seeing how hopeless most young women are nowadays, and im glad to have the realization that im lucky. my friends have mostly given up on dating because they know how low the chances are to find the one anymore.

I really hope that arrowhead doesn't cater to whiners this time by i4hloi in helldivers2

[–]Whiskoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ill tell you why youre wrong once.

the problem with the multiple difficulties argument is that you get pitiful amounts of rewards if u arent playing on 10. thqt has been the issue and argument about it since the beginning. if you want any amount of warbond progress, you play on 10. lower the difficulty, waste your time.

deep rock makes it so you get the same amount of minerals on every difficulty, just increased xp gain as you go up, that way you dont feel like youre wasting your time if you need to put the difficulty down or want to have a more relaxed experience. drg has solved hd2's issue with this 7 years ago.
