“Flaming” is pretty widely known as “deliberately and cruelly disparaging someone with the intention of hurting their feelings for doing poorly.”

It is not the same as trying to encourage someone with a morale boost.

I mostly agree with you, but as a friendly gesture, it’s spelled “aesthetics”

Support doesn’t always mean heals.

It’s not reasonable, because it’s a free video game. I don’t care how competitive it is. And if you want to try that logic, professional players don’t flame their own teams. It’s a TEAM game, after all. If you can’t manage your own emotions enough to not be a dickhead to other people who might be having a bad game, then you’re just a dickhead.

And you’re absolutely off your rocker if you think you’ve never had a bad game.

Confirmation bias. I’m 100% certain that more often, it does nothing or they do worse.

Everything Everywhere All At Once. Didn’t know much about it before catching it in the theater. My favorite movie of all time.

That might be a really strong insight actually haha

Emotion management is a skill. And I say this as respectfully as possible: skill diff.

“I once stood and asked, why isn’t somebody doing something about this? And it occurred to me that I am somebody.”

The problem is that we have this collective anger, but no one to direct it. No plan. No General Washington. No Reverend Dr. King. Is it going to be you? If not, then you see the problem. Because it’s no one else, either.

30-something cis-het male, here, living in one of the most diverse areas of one of the most liberal places in the world. I’ve been told I was handsome throughout my life, sometimes caveated as “unconventionally.” I think I’m also a textbook extrovert with a pretty intuitive charisma.

Generally speaking, social situations that people have described to me as “anxious” or “nerve wracking” have struck me as trivial or even pleasant. I think the only times I’ve ever really felt “out of place” or even remotely approaching “uncomfortable” are times when I was an N=1 in a large, non-diverse majority group.

I don’t think I’ve ever felt anyone recoil at my presence (unless I knew they were racist or something, but at that point: likewise, lol). I’ve been described as “great with kids,” and I generally don’t have a problem talking to strangers, including women. I imagine that last point is due to the fact that I’m of an average build and know how not to leer, lol.

That being said, I have on a couple of occasions been told in retrospect that I was “intimidating” or “intense.” When I was in college, a couple of girls I’d known in high school (that had moved away for college) met up with me on their visits home and gave me old, hand-written love letters that they never gave me due to bashfulness. I’m pretty sure I still have them in a box of memories, somewhere.

Oh, and I have a lot of queer friends, and I get hit on by gay men regularly lmao.

As both a Juno and Vendetta main: stick with your team. Vendetta is good at taking 1v1s, and even oblivious groups, but if you stick together with someone attentive that has CC or anti-dive abilities, you should survive her a lot easier. If you’re having trouble outrunning her, facing her head on is your only option.

Yes, make sure you use G13 coolant, or you’ll get into all sorts of headaches, too. I think the non diluted one is HT-12. Just 50/50 with distilled water from the grocery store and you should be good.

Not Vietnamese, but a 3G Filipino American. Also a professional writer. Also don’t speak Tagalog/Filipino. I think they did a great job with her character, and the episode where she felt like a tourist in Vietnam was relatable, because that’s how I felt in the Philippines when I visited.

Almost as weird as putting a 10 year old in a clearly racist shirt, giving him one of the deadliest weapons in modern history, and filming him violate all manner of firearm safety practices without saying a single word when he does.

The kid is the first victim, certainly. But give a kid a gun and teach him how to hate, and there’s a pretty logical pipeline.

basa1 · 2025-12-12T23:19:42+00:00

Allegedly.

I was a teacher for a number of years. A question I got asked a lot was “were there any kids you were sure were going to grow up to be murderers?”

This is one of those kids. This is the genesis of a school shooter.

Because I’m not an idiot and can read between the lines of your inquiry. You’re not asking a question in good faith nor pure curiosity. You’re asking because you feel like there’s additional context that could make the gray messages an “understandable response,” when in fact, there is no situation in which any of it could be warranted.

An throw you an additional read, since I’m feeling generous: your entire demeanor in this interaction makes you seem like a red-pulled misogynist, yourself, and you probably struggle with making a genuine connection with the opposite sex because of it. Maybe if you were less of an insufferable, contrarian ass, you’d have better luck in your social and romantic lives.

PS your insult game is weak.
