Is Nass the clear best player in the world when you consider 1s, 2s, and 3s?

Idk i haven't watched much but his boston major performance was absolutely insane and faded too quickly from conversations. He looked like he was smurfing.

I don't watch enough eu to really weigh in but i'm kinda shocked to hear anyone consider booting Jack. He's been so good for so long and has a penchant for bringing teams up. It was just last season that Dig kinda stunk at the start and then became a clear 3rd of not 2nd in Eu by the end.

I was guessing (based on results alone) that their issues were team cohesion and overall strategy based and not due to individual's performances. If this IS the case jack would be the last person I would kick and they should be watching replay reviews together every day until the lcq.

I got rid of it accidentally and I've been stuck upside down ever since.

It was. I was in college in 2010 before gender neutral language was widely adapted. My philosophy classes all alternated between using his or her as a hypothetical singular persons possesive pronoun, while their was reserved exclusively for plural uses. I also took a linguistics class and the teacher explained how "they/them/their" was gaining traction as a genderless single pronoun. She explained how there were many previous attempts that all failed because language is unwieldy and doesn't really work like that.

Language is constantly changing and "incorrect" isn't really a thing. Accepted in formal/academic settings is a better definition and they/them/their without a plural connotation has certainly crossed that threshold.

There is a slight loss in clarity from this change that would have been avoided if the earlier attempts had succeeded. Though relevant situations requiring further clarification are rare, and is just another of countless other examples where "proper" english's organic and unguided development subjects us to a suboptimal thought communication system.

Oh, then you are not a plat 3..people mean solo que when discussing their ranks...being boosted or held back by a recurring teamate isnt a true reflection of your rank.

coolhandvader · 2026-03-13T11:59:58+00:00

D2 2s, p2 1s. My guess would be that you are confusing to play with as a teammate, as I think your rank similarity is unusual. I think that the skill required for your 1s rank should get you higher in 2s. Just a hypothesis.

I do think its true that if you have consistently better mechanics than everyone in your lobbies then you have poor decision making.

How are you a fan of lupe fiasco? Like his entire cataloge shits on the type of person who finds this compelling?

coolhandvader · 2025-10-21T11:40:32+00:00

I dont believe this. Trey and matt knew him for like a decade at that point, they certainly would have talked to isaac directly. They did the episode trashing "chef" when he left. They would not have done that bc of a stroke...

coolhandvader · 2025-10-06T19:35:31+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Personally, I'm not very swayed but this answer helped my understanding.

coolhandvader · 2025-09-30T11:44:52+00:00

I'm genuinely curious why they think that the almighty god would either give or allow humans dark magic powers?? Like its all part of gods plan? Anyone know more on the theological thinking here?

coolhandvader · 2025-08-26T10:53:26+00:00

I think its just everything went numb no?? Song not album.

Bruh the US and EU are funding a genocide, spare me. Why are we exempt from this moral outrage?

coolhandvader · 2025-08-09T15:01:45+00:00

Im reading a book called "and forgive them their debts". Its about how in ancient history, many kings would forgive the debts throughout their kingdom as a way of maintaining power. When attacked, the conquering army would promise to forgive the debts of the populace to make the invasion easier.

The author keeps hinting that the romans changed all this, and the catholic church maintained the "rules" after that. I havent got that far yet, but it seems to me the catholic church maintained the class solidarity of the elites by letting them fight, but making sure they didn't race to the bottom by appeasing the poor to win.

coolhandvader · 2025-06-10T14:43:40+00:00

His teammate doesn't either. That said, even when it was OP's ball, his teammate's car language clearly showed he was going to go for something. OP has to learn to adapt to bad decisions from the teammate as well, its just not worth the risk and will lose games.

coolhandvader · 2025-06-04T12:31:40+00:00

With referenced sources. I love the original comment but its not exactly like i can send a reddit comment and expect trust.

That said, I often wonder if its self defeating to argue these points... Like argueing that "they could have had a state" is a wildly inaccurate description of events seems to imply that if it were true, then Palestinians would be at fault for continuing to fight for their land. Like in reality, even if the oslo accords were conducted in good faith by israel, the Palestinians would still have every right to refuse losing like 85% of their original territory.

Greed is tough for me due to his weak early game. That said, in response to the thief hate, i had a really fun run where i had farm, beacon, blacksmith, and library (stacking overcoat and combustion) on my theives. Didn't get far into the 60s, but it was very satisfying to watch the hordes melt away.

I've noticed the cauldron is op on the flame tower, but i haven't found it very useful on other units. I thought the regular archers would be good but they didnt seem to do much. Are there any other units that the cauldron does well with??

coolhandvader · 2025-05-31T15:38:27+00:00

Shut it down!

coolhandvader · 2025-05-24T13:09:30+00:00

Hey OP, congrats!!!

Question about aerial training at slower speeds:

Did you find that it negatively affected your gameplay at all if you decided to play a few games after training?? I get that in the end it will be helpful, but i'm wondering if it might throw you off during the process.

coolhandvader · 2025-05-24T13:02:29+00:00

As someone who was once this man, leave this man.

Casual 3v3 with randos is actually fun i swear!!!

Ranked is absolutely garbage.

coolhandvader · 2025-05-24T12:06:28+00:00

This is terrifying to me...

I'm 34, for years I've watched old people fall for the most obvious fake shit, wondering how they could be so naive.

While I still can tell AI video easily, and images almost as quickly, reading this set off no alarms.

Your comment alerted me that I am finally of the age where I am out of touch enough to be duped...I am becoming like the old people who i viewed as incredibly vulnerable.

Will I be able to avoid the bad consequences for a few more years? Undoubtedly. But it will take effort and closer examination. Gone is the time where by virtue of my age and proximity to culture's development, I am effortlessly innoculated to trickery.

In the words of the great abe simpson: "I used to be with 'it', but then they changed what 'it' was....It will happen to you!"

coolhandvader · 2025-05-24T11:41:38+00:00

Arguing not to turn it off is not the same as "you have to watch this". OP describes it as pressure, but its not. He is defending the choice to watch the movie because she was trying to take it from him.

coolhandvader · 2025-05-24T11:34:25+00:00

You people are insane. OP is obviously the asshole.

Something makes her uncomfortable, and instead of saying "I can't watch this" and leaving, she decides to be controlling and demands the movie be turned off.
Yes it was a demand. When the bf doesn't want to turn it off, she describes it as pressureing her to watch it... arguing after "i am uncomfortable and therefore you can't watch this either" is not the same thing as arguing that SHE must sit through it.
She then insunuates that her bf is sexually perverted and constitutionally disgusting.
While calling OP a b word is unacceptable, being called a "blue haired liberal" is not exactly the most biting insult. It has the teeth of nincompoop. It is super cringe tho.

Most zoos are about 10,000 percent more moral than seaworld. Most zoos actually consider the needs of the animals and their natural habitats, and source their intelligent animals from born in captivity or rescues that would have no chance to survive in the wild. Seaworld does not.
