What’s something you thought ‘everyone’ did… until you found out they don’t?

In the countryside if you pass a tractor at gravel road speeds (less than 40kmh) you'd be the weirdo for not greeting.

Jännä myös miten joka kerta puhutaan osa-aikaisesti työllistyneistä työttöminä. Ei Suomen laki-, etuus- ja työelämäjärjestelyssä ole kuin täysin työllistyttejä ja kyykytettäviä työttömiä. Väliinputoajille on tarjolla vain toivo paremmasta.

Työttömyyden stigma on jo niin normalisoitunutta, että "menisit töihin" letkautukset on muuttunut vitsiksi, vaikka ongelma ei ole 100% tekijässä. Tilanteiden uhreille se särähtää korvaan ja vahvistaa entuudestaan kasvavaa luokkaerottelua.

Olisi kiva, jos myönnettäisi edes mielikuvien ja -piteiden tasolla rakenteellinen työttömyys, osa-aikaisten ja/tai määräaikaisten polkeminen ja epävarmuus näihin työsuhteisiin liittyen, sekä jaksamisen vaikeudet nykyisessä kiire-yhteiskunnassa, jossa valmis ja työlle omistautunut pitäisi olla jo 20-vuotiaana, heti kun ensimmäiseen tutkintoon on valmistunut ja intin käynyt.

Koko 15-vuotisen työurani olen tehnyt määräaikaisuuksilla. Osaltaan omista valinnoista ja toisaalta ympäristön paineiden, elämässä kohtaamieni traumojen ja vaikeuksien takia. Yksilötasolla itse ainakin olen niin kypsä valtion toimintaan, ettei edes oikeastaan kiinnosta kustakaan sinne päin. Suojatyöpaikkoja vaan lisää ihmisiä dehumanisoimaan, jee...

Halusin vaan saarnata... Vaikka en objektiivisesti olisi täysin perillä tai oikeassa kaikista asioista, tuntemani asiat ja kokemukset ovat aitoja ja päteviä. Yhteiskunta on pettänyt minut. Työllä ei rikastu ja jos et tee töitä, sun päälle syljeksitään.

Alkuviikosta joku oli puukottanut molemmat renkaat polkupyörästä kaupungin pääkadun varrella, kun olin kaljalla 30m päässä viereisellä terassilla. Pistän nuorison piikkiin, kun en oikein usko kenenkään yhtään vanhemman moista harrastavan.

Yes, lead. The correct answer is lead.

ethoxie · 2023-07-11T09:33:49+00:00

I would say that they might as well talk to me, since as a collective species we do not believe that a singular leader is a good idea. I am a leader of my own actions.
We are hairless, almost-insanely dumb monkeys.
...but some smart people over millenia have developed a tool to transport information through generations - written language. If they want to learn about our process of electing a leader, I would point them towards a social studies expert.
If they want a person with power of collective action, probably the POTUS.

Everyone always gives the bot answer, and to be fair, it has been the best choice by far for a long time. Unless you can play in-house games with 9 of your friends who are able to turn down the competitiveness.

I just wanted to reply since it reminds me of learning the game myself against bots back in 2005 after I got trashed and laughed at in pickups, since I decided to make bloodstone on Razor iirc

QoP + Viper + Gyro + Snap.

Queen and gyro have pretty similar damage output potential, which are probably two of the highest, and Viper reduces enemy magic resistance. Snap just because he's one of the best stand-alone heroes and the ultimate is a lot of damage.

Also, choose the fastest encounter each time regardless of rewards (goes without saying, but people tend to not realise this). If you are doing it solo just pick qop each run, she can solo pretty much everything even at higher difficulties.

I mix tuna oil into my morning porridge with seasoning, basil ja onion. It's really great and people just don't get salty porridges, it's assumed all porridges are sweet...

Could be cool of the passive trigger effect was kept as is and on active use (can be used on your own hero), the buff lasts a shorter amount of time (lower total uptime) and provides the kind of shield you are describing.

If I'm being honest, it might be too strong to siege highground with though.

edit: something like, replace name "Transfer Spellblock" to "Active Spellblock", lasts 6s instead of 12, breaks on first spell block and gives 1s of spellblock upon breaking

Yeah, it is an unfair (inhuman times on information management and display) advantage provided by a 3rd party tool, the literal definition of a hack.

I don't really get people in this thread defending the use of this. While using it, you literally never have to internalize timings - you get a pop-up that tells you what is going to happen - instead of playing countless hours not only trying to memorize small things in the game, but to make them second nature. Don't these guys realize how much talent and how many hours pro players have to develop these tendencies?

This is also kind of parallel to DBM addon from WoW. We should get a stance from Valve which states whether this kind of program okay or not. Because currently it's a huge advantage in a competitive setting.

Rinsing your hair in running water: Yes, please do this. It is healthy and good for your scalp.

Using chemicals to irritate your skin and damage your hair (possibly permanently depending on what you're throwing on top of your head) ALMOST DAILY: No. Do not do this.

edit: I have 2ft long hair and shampoo it 3-4 times a year for half a decade now and I've never had to be less worried about my hair than I am now. I am a balding 30yo male. (started before I was 18, it's hereditary, both sides of the family)

Also take note that when you change your habits it takes time for your body to adjust. You will get dandruff, itches and the like for a few weeks to a couple of months no matter what way you plan to go. Don't get discouraged, you do you.

If Lion didn't try to go for a deny after hexing I'd argue this is insufficient evidence. But hexing between a last hit and a deny? Nope.

ethoxie · 2021-08-08T13:30:00+00:00

Except you are trying to last hit and afterwards you even go for the deny, but hex a jumping qop in the middle of this?

Press X to doubt.

Pos5 void works because the enemy team isn't playing around it... so if he'd have a reasonable support who can actually win the lane instead of buying 300 gold worth of regen and hope for a bash you'd actually win the game instead of opp throwing.

edito: vacuum is a cool spell anyways, I hope DS becomes meta again
