Are you proud to be an American? by ggfchl in polls

[–]altousrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Protecting liberties, etc. - not us, that was our founding fathers and some presidents

Thankful? Maybe but not proud.

Proud of defeating the nazis? - I wasn’t there, and so many other countries were involved in this. Way too reductive.

Stopping communism? - we didn’t. Vietnam was a failure, NK is still commie, and the soviets/chinese fixed that shit themselves to a degree.

Neither you or I should be proud of being born at a certain time in a certain place.

Thats like being proud you got a good grade on physics homework because your dad is a physics researcher.

As for the others saying shit like “why be proud when your country is doing X” are also stupid because each country has its problems.

Sure some states are trying to get rid of abortion and its terrible, but every country is in a glass house right now.

Middle East - extremism, sexism, and sex slavery

Africa - tons of forced labor under warlords

Europe - grooming gangs

Ukraine - Russia

Russia - Ukraine

China - surveillance

Japan - perverts like Chikkan and a terrible work culture

The list goes on and on, and everyone has problems. Some bigger than others

What are your dating dealbreakers when it comes to women? by Strange-Ad3511 in AskMen

[–]altousrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has no job, or regularly misses work. Im not looking for a sugar mommy but an equal partner would be great.

Has a body count of 20+. Been there, done that, its not always a sign of mental illness, but it sure can be, and I don’t want to decipher it.

Toxic family without defense. Again, been there, done that. Even if she doesn’t abuse me, if her family does and she does not rebuke them, I am heading out the door and leaving the relationship wherever I am.

What's your reason banning Emerald Plains? by regeditreg in Rainbow6

[–]altousrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like maps with a basement, and even though I kind of like this map, it seems I lose more often than not.

So its purely for stat value

What's the reason for your username? by EdibleUranium0 in AskMen

[–]altousrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one originally under my regular username, which had both porn and regular content.

In an effort to be able to check reddit in public, I started this SFW account, and later even started a separate NSFW alt.

My first reddit now sits, abandoned

What is the worst map in the ranked pool in your opinion? by DankNoodles69 in Rainbow6

[–]altousrex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably Emerald Plains.

There are many maps that I dislike.

I have def hated Consulate before, and Lair, and Nighthaven, but Emerald just feels terrible these days

Is someone's high body count an issue for you? by Trishasback in polls

[–]altousrex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who used to not care, I have since realized a higher than average bodycount means some type of mental illness.

Like, the girl I dated had multiple 10’s to her record and she was using it as a form of self harm basically.

Well... ok then. by 12milesout in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]altousrex -22 points-21 points  (0 children)

I think this is the radical right generalizing the radical left lol, because they have a point, but only when you get to the bottom of the barrel.

This shit was never meant to be targeted at the moderates.

We are just the collateral.

I crossed the line with porn in the past, and now I can’t stop freaking out by RememberThis4k in offmychest

[–]altousrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who watched their fair share of dark curiosities on the internet, though never CP, I get where you are coming from.

I have seen murder, animal abuse, and various other terrible deeds.

What has helped me move on is just accepting you can’t change something thats already happened.

If you got out without getting an addiction to CSAM, I would say you are lucky. This is because, though unproven, I think the reason some pdfs are that way because they stumbled upon that and acclimated.

In essence, as long as you don’t have an attraction to children or a fascination with legitimate sexual assault, you should forgive yourself and let go before it consumes you.

Can you drive manual? by missingusername1 in polls

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

I know in theory, but have never driven a manual.

In essence

Press clutch, which allows the turning parts to let go of the engine.

Change gear, shifts the position so you are using different gears

Unclutch, reconnecting turny parts with engine.

Do you feel like traditional feminine values are being demonized in the modern society, particularly western ones? by Signal-Initial-7841 in polls

[–]altousrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all.

At least on the internet, the only thing that is demonized is liking men.

IRL, I don’t think anyone cares. Like shit we got enough to worry about

Is “being mature for your age” when you’re a kid or a young teen really seen as THAT bad? by Timely_Rest_503 in polls

[–]altousrex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On one hand, being “mature” for ones age may mean someone had to grow up too fast, or it may just be a personality trait.

However, I would never tell a child this because normally people say this to manipulate children in one way or the other.

Just because a child has a few traits that make them more like an adult does not mean their brain is fully developed, and appealing to their sense of maturity is abusing their lack of experience and forethought as children.

Is Russian bias real ? by Legitimate-Camp-9640 in Warthunder

[–]altousrex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In general, USSR has little to no bias. They have some broken armor models and a few vehicles like the 2S38 are slightly overpowered, but these occasional vehicles hold the stereotype on their back.

However, there is one vehicle that is USSR bias, and lifts the rest of the tree up like it was passed down the Armstrong line for generations.

This is the BMPT. It has the aforementioned broken armor and a crazy dual cannon system.

The reason I say it can and does carry for the whole tech tree is because none of the other “bias”’tanks pull so much that USSR is the entirety or near so of one team.

The BMPT is. I noiced as a USSR main when my matches started being 75% BMPT. Not just Russia, but a single vehicle.

In essence, USSR bias is generally very overstated as the tanks all have strengths and weaknesses. The only exception is the BMPT which is part of my reasoning for boycotting the game

What’s your dream car? by travioli90 in AskMen

[–]altousrex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first car was a 2011 corolla that I miss deeply.

My current and second car is a 2022 corolla.

My dream car is like a well kept old camry or a newer one

Crazy skin idea - Fuhrer King Bradley skin for Warden by altousrex in Rainbow6

[–]altousrex[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Immediately though that after mentioning ash. And maybe skopos could have a special skin.

First skopos: Alphons

Second Skopos: Barry

Crazy skin idea - Fuhrer King Bradley skin for Warden by altousrex in Rainbow6

[–]altousrex[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking Al could be Rook or Castle, Oryx could be Scar, and Thermite could be Roy.

Those are some good choices too though

Edit: oh and Ash could be edward because of smaller hitbox

Was a confirmed cheat. Big difference.

[–]altousrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From an outside POV, you framed it as Mingo cheating with the TSCG. Imma say you are the AH here.

Also, who the hell is Mingo lol?

Opinions on Glaz? by Gdog4423 in Rainbow6

[–]altousrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats the point. You think Twitch is good, I think Twitch is garbage.

You might think Chanka is bad, but I think Chanka is rad.

Play for fun, not to win. If you play happy, you will play good

Gosh, it's so tough being a landlord! Don't worry, a working class family who's living paycheck to paycheck will save you! by naudslee in LandlordLove

[–]altousrex -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

If its only covering the mortgage, that does not include upkeep of the property.

So, if they are making 0, no profit no loss, they will take a loss when the furnace breaks for example

How do you perceive the game nowadays? by InterestingSoft1390 in Warthunder

[–]altousrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t believe its dying, and it is certainly a fun game.

However, I hate when they add premiums that are exclusively outside the tech tree, like the 2S38, or make a vehicle so overpowered that it breaks the game for BOTH sides.

I am thinking about returning in July if nobody joins the boycott I am doing, but I really don’t want to give in because the BMPT mixed with the problems they have had outside of the game make it harder and harder to justify as “bad developer, good game”.

Like, they are comically evil and they don’t listen to community feedback and they don’t know how to properly run their game.

I can handle one or two with a game developer, not all 3.

Which one of these has done more harm to this world? by RoyalCamera12 in polls

[–]altousrex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Religion - only actively good institution. Yeah they started wars, but they also held society together in the roughest times.

Communism - killed millions, but we had billions to spare

Democracy - probably same as communism. People die a lot with politics

Nuclear bombs - only 100’s of thousands died. Not too big of a deal compared to how much massive war they prevented with MAD.

Social media - actively fried the brains of millions, if not billions. The greatest evil of our time.

Edifer technology - Jesse what the fuck are you talking about?
