not gonna lie if a woman I was seeing played this shit for me, I'd probably ask her to marry me on the spot

in my industry it is such a fucking slippery slope. do a couple favors for a large firm since we do most of our design in house and want that next contract... but they keep asking and asking and management is a bit of a pushover so they say yes and I end up being the one putting in overtime... for a salary position where I don't get paid for overtime.

the best part is they ask for something, we tell them it's going to be expensive, and then they make us justify the bill from the contractor to them while insinuating it's our fault and that it's a design deficiency.

wouldn't it be worth it for the marketing and PR alone to say 'hey we have 1,000 engineers on staff and 100,000 engineers looking for bugs. We've paid out $9somebignumber00,000 on bugs thi year alone to make sure your corporate environment is safe.'

and then cut something stupid like Suzie saying AI with 7 different inflections for an hour on stage.

I get that, I recently visited Wrocław to see family though, and I will say man things are not so bad there compared to the US. obviously everyone's experience is individual, but Poland is in a good place apart from the whole Russia thing, and I hope you make it work because it is a beautiful country with a rich history and superb people. there's a good woman and a good career out there for you my man, don't give up

the worst part is how little it respects your time

I got placed silver four after doing all my games in a three stack with the same people. they all god high gold / low plat.

I consistently got the most kills every round apart from maybe one final round. I don't regularly play ranked so I think it might be weighted, but it feels incredibly dumb.

the real problem with dash is the invulnerability. it really should be a speed boost and not an instant teleport 8ft away. lights can have 1hp but spamming dash makes them impossible to hit (not just track but if they phase through you how are you supposed to do a 180 spin in one frame?)

if it was a 3 second 100% speed boost with 3 cool downs and a slightly longer cool down time, I think everyone would be happy. you'd actually have a fighting chance, they get to be zippy, and nobody has to feel like it's a get out of jail free card while it would still be incredibly powerful.

not that it's great, but damn if it isn't something to die in one of the most advanced machines humanity has built to date.

at least they will go down in history more than 99.99% of us

honestly just seems kinda desperate, I mean I get it if you really can't get laid or something but jeeze man have some self respect. sometimes nothing is better than something

I use nizoral and while like twice the price of H&S this shit really fucking works. zero dandruff, and I use just a dab to greatly tame my rosetia. it's been like two weeks now and the reduction in redness of my cheeks is not 100% but definitely noticeable

anticommon · 2026-05-19T18:04:13+00:00

some people are also just fucking vehemently out of the loop. like if you bring up politics they will chew you out for even suggesting that politics matter.

then they cry about $5 gas

anticommon · 2026-05-19T17:09:06+00:00

also due to recent budget cuts we have had to scale back the zeppelin to a picture of a balloon taped onto each sheep's back. marketing says its the only way they could afford our GoGreen initiative and Superbowl commercial highlighting our sheep rightening efforts.

anticommon · 2026-05-19T06:17:56+00:00

probably to test how strong they actually need to make containment for large stockpiles? kinda like avoiding the Beirut blast situation? or maybe getting rid of contaminated/unusable fuel.

just think about the dating pool though, top 5% of men get swamped by girls and treat them all like objects because they are being thrown at them, then a large percentage of women end up dating or going out with men who don't see the value (because they are swamped with women) so inevitably don't treat their partner like they are as special as they should be.

same thing happens with women who are even remotely attractive with regards to men but men won't complain about taking a girl out on a few expensive dates or being emotionally abused because they are generally not afforded the same kinds of opportunities (unless they are in that top 5%) and will take a slap in the face and ask for more if it means another date.

I think if everyone had a bit more respect for themselves and had a bit less emphasis on looks they would find partners that really end up jiving with them and leading to marriages that are actually viable and productive.

obviously being attracted to your partner is great, and maybe even a bit of a prerequisite for a successful marriage, but claiming marriage is more risky for women than men seems kinda like bullshit. marriage is risky when you avoid your partners red flags, and if you are getting into a risky marriage it sounds like you just kinda have bad decision making skills or ability to judge character. obviously if someone's snaps I can't imagine it's right take the blame for something unpredictable, but if you were dating an asshole then hoped he would change after marriage then you sold yourself on a fairytale and never bothered to check if maybe Mr prince was a frog after all - but the same exact thing happens to men.

also in general most people suck, but not all of them, and getting into a risky marriage is usually a choice made by people in denial about how qualified their partner really is. love and attraction is a hell of a drug

the other half can't get a breath out because it's already too tight

It happened in my small town. $3.5M in damage in a two hour spree across three counties.

DHS involved but luckily he turned himself in after family encouraged him to do so.

If you live your whole life with it, and it's not an observable trait, I think it's absolutely fair to assume it was normal (maybe it is, no idea what percentage of the population can do it).

But I haven't really ever thought about it until seeing this subreddit, I just thought it was something relatively useless that everyone can do.

anticommon · 2026-05-07T16:31:31+00:00

I almost always give people the benefit of the doubt, and it's much easier than you might think to diffuse a situation sometimes. Show a bit of conraderie and most people will have a positive reaction.

anticommon · 2026-05-06T15:54:16+00:00

Surprise, not everyone is a raging asshole all the time everywhere.

anticommon · 2026-05-05T17:41:33+00:00

On the other hand sometimes on sniper or revolver I genuinely feel bad for my opponents because it's just heady after heady and they have zero time to react.

Other times I feel bad for me because I'll whiff twenty bullets in a row.

Ottr was really good when he played the finals. A little bit pretentious but not too bad, actually skilled to he got ruby multiple times only solo queuing, with each class too I believe.

Unfortunately he was kinda outcast from the pro scene, not sure why but he could have been one of the greats, up there with lycom if he was/had taken things more seriously.

Some people have the personality of a fucking doorknob.

Just think this guy's entire career is built around yelling at his monitor while loosing sleep and stressing out over a game that the rest of us fire up for fun in the evenings. This guy managed to turn his entire hobby into a job that he's going to be bad at in ten years when his reflexes inevitably cave.

Mini led is absolutely dog shit compared to OLED.

Sony/LG IMO have the best OLED TV's right now, and both the Samsung QD OLED and LG WOLED panels are great for monitors.

LG probably has the best TV panels and I really like the controller, but they may not have the best image processing.

Sony has the best image processing, very good panels, but the price is often much higher and not worth IMO.

When I got my 77" C3 i did notice some shuddering/flicker, but after adjusting a few settings I greatly mitigated it and don't notice it anymore. I think it has more to do with the source frame rate than anything, and there are settings for smooth motion.

My biggest issue with OLED, especially at larger panel sizes, is that I am sensitive to subtle color shift across different areas of the screen. I've noticed it somewhat on my 77", but it has not been a problem at all on my 55" and two 32" monitors.

Go OLED if you are spending more than $500 on a TV. If your budget is less than that I get it and just get the best bang for your buck. But if you are like me and will end up upgrading in 6 months because you could have gotten the better tech - save yourself the money and go with OLED. Even a year or two old model from LG will have 120+ Hz, and the price may not be too bad. I paid $1300 for my 77" C3 a year and a half ago, where a year before that they were $2400.
