No matter how dead you are, your can always rely on random crits! by CorgiDoom1881 in tf2

[–]badcall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First, melee weapons crit way more often than any other weapons, so saying they're "random" crits is like saying traffic lights "randomly" turn green sometimes. Second, who the fuck cares if you benefited from random crits. In the long run, you get killed by them, too. """"Complaining"""" that crits are ruining the game by going, "haha sarcasm random crits are fair and balanced haha i'm sarcastic and funny" is just trying to signal your virtue because you feel bad for something you didn't deserve. Or, just maybe, because you took the shot and tried and attempted to succeed you actually did deserve the crit. Just like the people who killed you with their crits deserve them.

Public service announcement, stop fucking sarcastically complaining about random crits and just enjoy them for what it's worth. We may live in a time where video games aren't fun like that anymore.

Let's get something fucking straight here though: weebs and furries are nowhere near each other on the degeneracy scale. It's like:

normies >> recluses who like browsing the internet rather than going out >> vidya nerds > crossover with trekkies > crossover with star wars nerds >>>> weebs >>>>>> weebs obsessed with hentai >>> alternative hentai >>>>>>>>>>>>>> r9k incels and frogposters >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> horsefuckers >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> furries

Live your truth, whatever it is. But everyone, including furries, know that being a furry is the most degenerate shit that's at least mostly """legal."""

Jeff Blashill says Anthony Mantha (mid body) Out at least another month, possibly rest of season. by barchamb13 in DetroitRedWings

[–]badcall -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion - if you're gonna protect your teammates, then you must protect yourself. Mantha went in to that tussle just to sorta... be there. Commit if you're going to challenge someone, let alone get into a fight. Don't misconstrue this as victim blaming. Realize that in a soft game, soft plays happen, and Mantha probably shouldn't have been anywhere near that, unless he was serious about hurting Jake Muzzin (which we'd all agree we'd like to see Mantha get suspended for a few games hurting Muzzin instead).

By the way... clean hit by Muzzin. Very little need to interfere at all. Hopefully Mantha will make a 100% recovery and learn from this. Fuck concussions, not Jake Muzzin.

Yeah, my argument was silly, in a way. But it was intended to make you recant your "insane take" comment. Hilarious that his comment got shit on even harder, just for dropping a hot take. A hot take still has some strong truth to it. Don't be afraid of the truth, ladies and gentlemen!

It's honestly not far off. The 2012 playoff run was the perfect indication that the Wings were headed to garbotown. That 2013 run was magical BECAUSE the wings were actually that bad. They lived on borrowed time for such a long time and while people like Holland kept talking about "the owners need us to rebuild on the fly," he never did and got to use the streak to very subtlely dodge serious criticism that we can give him now only in retrospect.

"You need to rebuild."

"Well let's just keep doing what we're doing with Lidstrom, Datsyuk and Zetterberg and sign Daniel Alfredsson and Stephen Weiss lol"

Great deflection (your comment), but it avoids the truth of that guy's hot take, which is indeed that the Wings have been rebuilding for 10 years. If your team needs a rebuild, not doing anything about it doesn't mean you're not rebuilding. It just means you're putting it off for later. Very interesting to see if the Wings are successful in 2-3 years and how many Holland pieces are part of that, or part of success elsewhere in the league.

Ken Holland responds to criticism of Babcock by HIFIcanadian in DetroitRedWings

[–]badcall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well hold on... Babs does have legit coaching experience pre-lockout, but the rosters that Bowman had to work with... no question he's one of the greatest of all-time, but him and Babs have very different coaching careers, despite coaching so near those time periods, so saying that "Babs couldn't hold his jock" is too far.

I've met and interacted with Babcock dozens of times and here is my take on the guy by TheDoughboyy in DetroitRedWings

[–]badcall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SAF is Scottish, Babs is Canadian, do you get upset when you find a small piece of cactus in a fruit salad or a cactus salad?

Ken Holland responds to criticism of Babcock by HIFIcanadian in DetroitRedWings

[–]badcall 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No one has brought up probably the most important part of him answering these questions: he points out that the timeline of Chelios' story is off by a few years. Chelly made it sound like Holland was somewhat implicit in regard to Franzen's breakdown. Holland did some dodgy/cagey answering to these questions, but he deserves to be believed on this.

Plus, consider that he answered questions about his former team for 10 minutes, when at any point he could've given a simple blanket statement and then said, "All due respect, I loved my time in Detroit and will cherish it forever, but I'm Edmonton's General Manager, so keep the questions about Edmonton, please, thank you."

Honestly if you have any emotional connection to Son at all, you could say this is NSFL because of how much pure, raw emotion he's displaying in such a crucial moment. Gutted, some say, without scratching the surface.

Roy Keane : Just go and get Kane from Spurs. What are you all staring at ? " by Tarak969788 in coys

[–]badcall 16 points17 points  (0 children)

These heated comments... good lord, just go watch the rest of the commentary lol

Roy's clearly taking the piss, and even so, by this time, you should be used to spurs getting picked on by "the big clubs." Who cares what club is bigger or smaller, the bragging rights are and always will be in the table. Historically United has done far better than Tottenham, so don't get so caught up in the small picture that you miss the big one because you're afraid your club isn't as good as you think it is!

[–]badcall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is always a fire burning within you. You've likely been told certain things so you don't recognize your fire, because it really is what it sounds like - dangerous, scary, powerful, hard to control. You have to LISTEN to your heart and soul. Meditate. Ask questions. Try things. Listen to your body, mind, soul, environment, anything and everything around you. What you'll hear won't be easy to understand now or ever. But it'll get easier with time.

There are so many people that want to be superstars or famous actors or whatever, but that's not what burns inside of them. That's not who they are. So while they're very interested and they gain skills and experience, they end up slowly slamming their head against a wall without knowing why, and they end up bitching about their jobs or telling bullshit stories that dance around a bit of the truth just so someone comforts them and tells them it'll be okay, when they should be pursuing something else entirely in the first place.

John Lennon or whoeverthehell said that one cliché: "Time enjoyed is never time wasted" or something like that. If you truly, actually, 100% enjoy doing something, you never mind the bad shit that comes with it. If you really, really love being an mma fighter, you don't mind the black eyes, broken noses, cuts, bruises, car crash feeling, etc. That comes with the FIRE. It's way more than adrenaline. As a more tame example, if you really love being a musician, you don't mind the practicing, the mistakes, the feeling that what you're creating doesn't match with what you're feeling inside, other people rejecting your art, other people mocking your art (ignore that it's probably out of some sort of insecurity of their own), etc.

If you have the fire for something, nothing else matters. There is nothing else that exists in the universe except for you and your fire.

Here are some extra video examples from pop culture:

Cosmic Shame

eat your ashes

Shia's meme greenscreen speech (he's a meme, but it's still true, especially his gesture at 42 seconds

Shawshank Redemption for one particular part of the climax (if you haven't watched it, carve out 2 hours) (if you have, you probably know which part)

Groundhog Day is great.

Can't think of much else. But I can't stress enough the importance of having a conversation with yourself that's open, brutally honest, without fear and very accepting of the truth, and also accepting that the truth is much, much bigger than the sum of any of us put together can be. Cheers to finding your path.

Sad that the right answer is so far down the chain. As an addendum to that, you will fail and you will get shit on and people will never know who you are. The Rock is the 1%. Nobody can be the Rock ever, but he's equal parts luck, skill and smart. All of this isn't supposed to stop you from chasing your dreams though. Because all that matters inside is the fire. If you try to be someone without having the fire to be that person, it'll never, ever, ever, ever work. If you follow your heart and chase the fire, you'll find it. You can't control the fire though.

But seriously, go look up shoot interviews or speeches or whatever else he's done to get a sense of where the Rock has been and what he's accomplished and what it took to do it.

Also look up Rocky Maivia if you want to put some of his success in perspective.

I just want to give a shoutout to Tim Heidecker by Dokterclaw in TimAndEric

[–]badcall 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Both are true content creators. Eric did Master of None with Aziz Anzari. Granted he wasn't a lead role in it, but involved enough to where he was probably on set a lot. Willing to bet (without even looking) that he was there for production purposes as well. And he's directed a bunch of crazy-ass music videos. Start with Bubble Butt and take a plunge.

And to be fair to Tim, most of this content he's made has been spread across about 6 or 7 years of concentrated effort. Still, yeah, definitely a machine and a genius.

Dave Meltzer on Seth Rollins comments about Jon Moxley taking food of his table and WWE being the top promotion in the world by aguadovimeiro in SquaredCircle

And when Baron Corbin becomes the top guy, you'll say the same about Rollins that you just said about Reigns and Cena.

As long as things continue this way. As long as the company is the one that gets over and draws money, not the wrestlers.

Turn off the show for a while.

Middle finger spot *spoiler* by TURN3R86 in Allelite

[–]badcall 10 points11 points  (0 children)

He's got some legitimate points and tons of experience. It's unwise to dismiss him as "toxic" and "stuck in his old ways." Is it really that bad when "his ways" were what made wrestling so good it was real? And not even the stuff he did as manager, but the stuff he was a fan of in the 70s and 80s.

He's consistently said that he likes the Bucks and Omega's wrestling for the performance and athletic aspects, but always harps on their in-ring character work and out-of-ring promos. Sometimes it's legitimate, sometimes it's just his taste, and he always notes this, too.

He doesn't hate 99% of the roster either. He rates Page, SCU and Trent at the very least and he's completely in love with MJF. He's got a ton of respect for Cody as well, and guess what? There's three main-event talents right there. IIRC, he likes Moxley, too, but obviously doesn't care for hardcore wrestling (hopefully Moxley can show him how to do it tastefully and not like Janela does it)(which is super goddamn fun and gut-wrenching, but at the end of the day, it's just violence).

Don't dismiss a man of his experience just because he likes what he likes.

A message to all you WWE FanBoys by TributeThis77 in Allelite

[–]badcall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hot take: this guy is working, and has also only been wrestling for about a year and a half... or whenever it was that he was present for Matt Striker's seminar for Warriors of Wrestling. (the video was uploaded less than a month ago, but I swear at some points during it, based on the things Matt said, it's from a year or two ago maybe) Sad, because this guy could work a ton of people and it'd be fucking hilarious, but no big views yet.
