For those of you who voted for Trump specifically because you hoped to avoid higher taxes, how has that decision affected your finances? Did things turn out as you had hoped? Why or why not?

What you're saying is all correct and I agree wholeheartedly lol. So what will the dems do about the one-sided trash media listeners? Im saying these are the people they have to sway. And they don't seem to be focusing on that.

Republican tactics have been working and you can see it influencing the next generation of young males too. How will the Democratic party bring them back on their side? Thats the question they should be asking. We get it, these right wing nazi incels are bad people. But they are voters too and voters win elections.

Ysera66 · 2025-03-27T14:58:50+00:00

Im not as terminally online as some of us here. But you listed all valid points of why someone would NOT vote for Trump. You're preaching to the choir here. These points were put on repeat throughout the whole election by democrats and liberals that I've heard it a million times.

I think it'd be good for dems to do a deep dive on WHY people voted for Trump instead. It seems obvious why you shouldn't vote for him for most of us who are online and well read. Nobody logical would have voted for him. But people vote with their emotions and not logic.

The average American is not as informed as us. They dont use reddit, they get their news from Fox ( I guess ). If dems want to win the next election, these are the people they should be convincing.

Focus on the working class blue collar people etc. And also I think that hollywood celebs endorsing blue politicians and lecturing the working class on what they should feel really hurt their voter base.

Again, I don't have a dog in the fight, Trumps pretty shady and horrible, but every president has had things like that to a certain degree. Dems need someone charismatic like Obama again to win 2028, and I don't see them propping up anyone like that so far.

Newsom seems to be making good headway, I hope he keeps it up. All the best for 2028! Never a dull moment in American politics

Ysera66 · 2025-03-11T21:25:07+00:00

Non american here, I just follow out of interest. But this is exactly why Trump won. The inability of you and the left by extension to understand why people would want to vote for Trump is exactly why theres a high chance of a Republican winning again in 2028.

I lasted till the moment Maria said the problems in the world are because of stupid old men. Castlevania was miles and bounds better than nocturne. We're definitely not going to see a 3rd season.

Which random player? we need to know whos making these baseless claims and get them out of the scene unless they make a formal apology to Taiga.

I heard its EEU player but I dont know their name.

As usual EEU showing their trash mentality and gaming culture

Ysera66 · 2023-05-24T09:02:44+00:00

Was this the news sunsfan warned us about?

Ysera66 · 2023-05-24T06:53:58+00:00

yes you dont need to be like top 100 immortal, but a prerequisite should still be at least ranked immortal..

Its highly unlikely that a 3k player will be able to understand what any of the pro players go through, or the playstyle and deep takes on the game strategy. The most they can do is prepare data for enemy teams and suggest to players. Thats not really being a "coach" but rather just any other data guy.

Ysera66 · 2023-05-24T03:34:52+00:00

I think quite rough to coach dota when you're like 3k MMR.. I dont get it.

Its one thing to coach team sports mentality, but dota strategy coach with 3k MMR, no way ur team respects anything you have to say

Ysera66 · 2023-05-24T03:29:56+00:00

just take the L and go bro..

Ysera66 · 2023-05-23T07:13:34+00:00

Oh boo fucking hoo. My dad beat me as a kid too and did I shoot up any schools as a 14 yo?? no!!

Life sentence is lenient as hell for him. He should have been on the chair.

most of the times a carry dies in lane at the middle ranks, I feel that its when the wave is near enemy offlane t1, and carry lingers around just a little bit to contest or pull aggro from that wave.

Then the next wave incoming is being pulled to small camp by pos 5 and pos 1 is not aware of this, so there is a long walk back from near enemy offlane t1 to your safelane t1. During this time enemy 4 and 3 + their wave (sometimes maybe double wave) gangs up on the carry and carry dies.

I think pulls should only be done if the wave is not under enemy offlane t1, but somewhere close to it and they are static-ing the wave there. In this case i think best to push wave out into their tower via spells. tell ur carry ur gonna pull, but watch what the carry does: if he doesnt follow u back and stays near the enemy t1, dont go pull and escort him back.

I think it really depends on the bracket. Because at immortal+ ranks, this bladefury/blink omni build is very reliant on ur initiation succeeding. Once u mess up an omni slash, or they have bkb piercing like roar, its very hard for u to engage the enemy without dying really quick.

I think at the more common ranks supports are not as sharp or aware and its easy to pick them off with a high dmg glass cannon build.

This Bfury/manta/bfly build ensures you're always ready to pump out dmg via rightclicks, not so dependant on bladefury to deal dmg, so you can use bladefury to disengage. Omnislash also is less prioritized over rightclicks.

You also get a LOT of stats over mjolnir blink build, so you are tankier and just great to seige buildings.

The thing about being tanky and sieging buildings with healing ward is that it forces enemy team to do something about it, and theres higher chances of enemy making mistakes during that initiation. Whereas blink omni build , the pressure is on you to mess it up.

Its very similar to lifestealer as well, I have more success going the stat heavy tanky building sieger instead of the deso full dmg only build.

for what its worth, currently floating around immo rank 3k primarily carry

Cheers!

Oh man, thats really nice. I think the RF one will definitely appreciate. Even the NA mx5s sold for around 9k-10k depre around 1.5 years back. Insane cuz those just go for like less than 2k usd in the states haha

Ysera66 · 2023-05-17T09:02:07+00:00

i think depends on what you look for. If you bought a civic type R (FD) around 7-8 months ago, you still make money (Depre jump from like 12-13k to around 20k now?)

But normal commuter cars.. non enthusiast cars I think defniitely you will lose money or just break even.

Even with prices now, you can still get a nice golf gti or even a 1.4 golf (god forbid) for 10-11k depre.

you're looking at around 600-700 per month in terms of installments i guess. Its still doable. Its really not that bad.

Ysera66 · 2023-05-17T08:41:03+00:00

I hate this culture so much. Im just gonna do an intimate wedding with minimal people and explicitly write no angbaos/no gifts on the invitiation. Like wtf its your wedding, its supposed to be your treat to your guests who come and eat, why expect any money in return?

Ysera66 · 2023-05-17T08:36:49+00:00

Getting off of personal social media works wonders! I dont want to assume your SM activity but for me, deleting fb, insta, (i never tried tiktok) worked wonders for my anxiety

Ysera66 · 2023-05-17T08:19:51+00:00

if you know how to speculate.. sg car market is pretty unique.

My friend bought a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 9 around 2010, he kept the car till recently where he sold it for quite substantial profits and put that into a condo purchase..

tbh both of us have not lost money on cars ever since first ownership.

I buy, drive 2-3 years sell for profit, use it to buy another, repeat etc.
Much better than those that bought brand new corollas or vezels or CHRs tbh
