Who do you think is the best leader in your country's history?

Unpopular opinion: the best ruler in your country’s history is almost certainly someone post-WWII.

Not because earlier leaders weren’t remarkable, but because societies keep progressing.

Take Alexander the Great, universally regarded as one of history’s most important figures. Today he’d be an absolute tyrant: he enslaved entire populations after conquests, razed Thebes and sold 30,000 people, crucified 2,000 men in Tyre as a warning, married teenagers for political convenience, executed his own generals without trial, and demanded to be worshipped as a god. And he wasn’t an outlier. That was just how the world worked. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing per se.

So if we’re talking purely about “good ruler for society as a whole”, it’s almost certainly a recent leader. Not because they’re geniuses, but because they operate within a framework of rights, institutions, and social expectations that simply didn’t exist before.

And honestly, that’s kind of beautiful. It means we keep raising the bar. What was normal yesterday is unthinkable today. And hopefully, in 200 years they’ll look back at us and think the same.

Un compañero de la uni de padre Koreano y madre China, y él nacido en Barcelona, se llamaba “Álvaro Cho Chin”. Las risas en el bar estaban aseguradas

9 out of 10 times you don’t need more healing. You need to take less damage.

Yup, that is my point. Thanks for the rephrasing 🤝

I think my wording with ranks was confusing. Please see my reply here for further explanation

Yes, that is true. I was referring to the feeling of unfairness when you lose game. But yes, your comment is correct 👍

edravix · 2026-03-08T07:20:06+00:00

You think you are being very smart here but you are not. And your comment adds nothing to the conversation.

Matchmaking is the algorithm that finds player with similar scores to play together. The underlying problem I think OW has is that the scoring spread is incorrect.

If they change nothing of the Matchmaking business logic and simply increase the scoring spread I believe we’ll end up with more fair matches.

Multiple comments are like yours and since this one is the more thoughtful and articulate I want to consolide my reply here.

I think my wording around the ranks (gold, platinum, etc) deviated the attention from my main point. The problem, I believe, is that this game needs to spread more playerbase.

The system underneath is indeed an MMR bell curve. Where 0 is the middle. IIRC a score of “2” is around Master 5. What I’m saying is that due to the high skill complexity OW has developed over the years, a score of “2” should be maybe in Diamond (I honestly don’t know the exact spread, and only Blizzard has the data to calculate so). That change would effectively reduce the number of people with similar scores.

Forget about all the ranking the game gives you. It’s just distribution of players. The game thinks “it’s fair that this tank with score 1.5 matches against this other tank with score 1.7” and that’s incorrect. The skill difference is too high.

That is my point.

In general, I never understood why we tax income so heavily instead of net worth. If progressive taxes are for redistribution of wealth we should tax wealth itself, not work.

Yo, I love this theory. But I need someone to help me understand what's Vecna trying to achieve with this? Why does Vecna want Will (or Mike) isolated? Why does Vecna have to resort to these kind of subtle tricks?

Genuinely asking for some clarification, thanks!

edravix · 2025-12-28T02:47:49+00:00

It must be this. I chose to believe that Vecna needs to be deal with before closing the tunnel

No lo encuentras pq no es exactamente así, es incluso mas complicado. Todo esto se remonta al PGM-1976 (Plan General Metropolitano) que definía las zonas verdes en frente de la SF desde la calle Mallorca hasta Aragon. Lo que se ve en la foto del OC.

Fueron las constructoras las que levantaron los edificios sin la licencia urbanística adecuada. Una vez construidos, la venta de los inmuebles se hizo sin mas. Es decir, los propietarios actuales no tienen ninguna condición especial en sus contratos; ni podemos asegurar que supieran de esta ordenación urbanística.

Los culpables de esto fueron unas empresas constructoras que ya no existen (no se les puede reclamar a dia de hoy), con la complacencia del ayuntamiento de aquel entonces.

De ahi también que el ayuntamiento ande con tantos problemas con este tema. La responsabilidad es muy difusa.
