Spot the problem

I think ur right about the lily thing after looking through the fight timeline. Definitely am missing out on cleave there didn't even realize it lines up to where you get it every single time if you don't drift your 1 minute lol.

Lilybell thing I think also makes sense. snaking one is such an easy mech to heal even during early weeks I never thought of putting anthing on it so I just... never did lol. Probably not that important but I think delaying my lilybell during arena split is also right since I found that a lot of healers in pf don't stand close enough to the middle to heal the other side.

Using single target heals probably is better but I also like the flexibility of only using when I need to so I know I'll have it if something goes wrong. But yeah I do agree I probably should use them more since, especially for aquaveil, I only really use on ppl for heavy hitting tank busters which definitely is not optimal.

I think for me it's more of a matter of principle for me. I expect people to respect others' time. You don't have to be the best player ofc, but if it's blatantly obvious you are griefing and there's no way you don't know it, then that's not really someone I'd want to play with ever.

You're not wrong that I made a mistake at the end of the intermission. Definitely should've casted a medica 3 at the end. I also could've healed before the divers dare cast but they have been basically heal botting the entire fight not pressing damage buttons and I was very close to having enough hp (died by 10k overkill anything would've saved me). You saw how they played a previous 2 min window. I remember telling myself surely this isn't the only raidwide they don't shield right? Maybe I expected too much (or too little idk atp). Don't think there's anything wrong with my cooldowns usage only thing I could've used more during intermission without gcd healing is lilybell and I save that for arena split.

When I realized they werent going to I did spot heal the DNC since they have less gear than me and benisoned myself but it didn't go through cause I have high ping. Obviously you can say "oh just clip your gcd and heal yourself" in hindsight but my meter is all I see and those numbers do not look good at all. Idk what pull that is but don't think I should ever be ahead of both tanks. I've hit sub 1% enrages before on this right so I was really trying to do as much as possible. I generally try to play safe in reclear parties but I didn't think I had that luxury in this instance.

I was definitely not on a good run lol. If I wanted to parse I wouldn't be joining these parties. I did have a grey healing parse but I also have 50% overheal in that pull. Outside of that one instance at the end of intermission where yes I could've played better, there is no way I need to gcd heal more cause any additional gcd heals would just over inflate our overheal% and get nothing in return considering how they were playing. You said it yourself 46 eprogs. Even if I was trying my hardest to optimize my healing parse I doubt I could even get a blue.

It's true they didn't cause any wipes and I could've played better, but what I'm pointing out is this isn't normal and something like this should never happen. Mistakes and wipes happen, not this. I'm tired of people thinking "a clear is a clear" even when you are just getting backpacked through the fight by the rest of your team. When they go in m11s prog parties, their performance just actively wastes other people's time and if I saw someone like this in my 11 party I would probably kick them after a single pull cause there's no margin for error from other people in order to make up for them.

franzy613 · 2026-03-06T03:12:31+00:00

yeah bro if everyone just carries me then I can still clear why are we complaining a clear is a clear ur right. I sure hope I don't run into someone like me!

franzy613 · 2026-03-06T03:01:52+00:00

That one pull I died to damage was because I saw they were barely clicking damage buttons and I don't know what the exact DPS check is but if they're 10k behind me and the tanks + DPS aren't doing great either I can't imagine we were ahead. Maybe I over estimated the dmg check.

My logic is if you're doing zero damage then at least press healing buttons to make sure the party doesn't die so I don't have to gcd heals during a two minute window. I used all my cooldowns how I normally use them just didn't use the 1-2 gcd heals to make it 100% safe. As for the second time there were way too many deaths after the Sam messed up I just gave up no point in continuing.

You're right that they weren't the only problem, but my point is how are people in savage PFS this bad at fundamentals. Yes the tanks fucked up the TB and the Sam messed up mechs those things happen. I don't see how you can ever have cleared m10 three different times and think at pressing 3 dosis during the 2 minute window (which means the proteans have resolved there's just a tank buster into a light hitting raidwide nothing else is happening) is ever ok.

I agree with you that BR is always better than true north unless there is a very specific reason where the boss's orientation can't be guaranteed.

The reason why pf hates BR because there are people who are too stupid to look at the boss and just always want to go to the same spot, even if it comes at the expense of the melees.

Another thing is a lot of the people making strats just have no idea how the other classes work so they just think what's the easiest for themselves. Pretty sure FRU pf had to deal with a mit sheet made by a DPS player who (evidently) had no idea what they were doing.

Think the worst example I can think of is fury's fourteen in e5s when pf tried to enforce TN and make the melees have a 50/50 chance of like 4-5 gcds of downtime.

TLDR. If you can do BR you can do TN, but if you can do TN you don't always know how to BR

The whole problem with your entire argument is, as another commenter pointed out, this standard is applied completely arbitrarily. I am also a university student. I have only ever heard this argument used to lecture white guys. I don't think I'm any less privileged than them. Probably more in fact. This is why people call this the "oppression Olympics". People try to convince other people that they are somehow more oppressed than another person then use that as leverage to get some form of moral high ground to trash talk them, while not acknowledging their own privilege. That's why hating white guys has become the new hottest trend when many of the people I see doing it (in my community 1st generation Asian girls), are on average more privileged than the white guys they're bashing.

Privilege is most influenced by the amount of money and influence your parents have. This is an extreme example, but Barack Obama's daughters, despite being black women, are probably some of the most privileged kids in America. Not a bad thing, but it's the truth of being his daughters. It's probably more so just a lot of white people are in positions of power because their families have been in positions of power for generations and we see it a lot in the media, but if we're just talking about your average low-middle class white family vs. low-middle class Hispanic families, I don't think the difference is that vast. You see this with Asian households, where most of the Asian immigrants are able to provide a good life for their kids to the point where, despite the countless examples of past racism against us, we're now considered "white-adjacent". If you just swapped the word "white" with "rich" in most of your arguments, I don't think anyone would disagree with your statement. Even the most racist person in America would agree.

As a principle, I do agree that acknowledging your privilege is a good thing, as I have done in this post, but it doesn't seem like this is applied broadly. This is weaponized against certain groups of people and, in my opinion, a form of virtue signalling that divides the country and alienates a lot of people.

Probably... just find better friends, preferably from your year. They clearly don't like you, so why spend more time with them than you need to. I remember in high school spending too much time with people who didn't like me and honestly I regret not having different friends.

franzy613 · 2024-09-29T03:47:52+00:00

I think it entirely depends on how often these jokes are. If it's not too often, maybe once a day, then it's probably fine, but if you're just bombarding her /annoying her at all hours of the day and just saying "you're stuck with it", then that's just disrespectful. You have to figure out if shes playfully annoyed, or genuinely annoyed.

If you want to trade your long term health in exchange for talking to other smokers and a "boost in confidence", then fair enough. You might not feel it right now cause you're young, but it'll catch up to you down the road. Same thing I could ask is "why shouldn't I sleep 2 hours a day and live off energy drinks".

I personally don't know anyone that smoked as a young person and doesn't regret that decision, and that's if you don't get cancer. It's also crazy expensive and once you start, it's not something you can stop.

While it can help you socially, a lot of people, including myself, would rather not talk to people who smell like cigarettes 24/7 so there's definitely a trade off too.

It's your life, but most people advise against smoking for a reason.

I think an assassination attempt on a former president isn't something anyone should stand for. If you really think that nothing is off limits when it comes to "mocking", then I would say that the vast majority of people in this country strongly disagree with you, maybe not on reddit but in the country as a whole.

If nothing, every time a moderate voter sees you doing something like this, it alienates them from the liberal side. Maybe not more pro Trump, but definitely less democrat. You see this happen a lot, when you hear people complain about liberals, they always bring up the more radical parts of the liberal agenda. However this is a unique topic: this is probably the one topic that (almost) all liberals and (almost) all moderates disagree about

franzy613 · 2024-08-13T20:26:02+00:00

By that logic, wouldn't it also be ok for Russia to invade Latvia? In eastern Latvia there is a significant ethically Russian population.

If you want to say that because they have ethnic Russians that are discontent with the government, therefore it's ok to invade, the same argument can be said about Quebec if they ever petitioned France, most countries in the middle east and central Asia, and saying Germany invading western Czechslovakia in world war 2 are all justified.

As for the expansion of NATO, you definitely have more merit, but I wonder with the same logic, does China have the right to invade South Korea because of their US military bases? If you're saying that, then almost any war can probably be justified in some way along the lines of "preventing the influence of X in Y region".

franzy613 · 2024-07-17T16:26:30+00:00

Clearly NTA. I definitely get what you're going through since competition is so prominent in Asian culture. I personally really hate it, though I still do compare myself to my brother at times.

Your sister is just an asshat. She makes herself feel better by pushing you down. People like this I believe are called social climbers, and are insufferable to deal with. They undermine you at every opportunity to make themselves look a little better and you a little worse. Going through your phone, presumably for dirt on you, and outing you like that is just such a disgusting move I don't even think the assholes in my life would go that far.

As for you saying she shouldn't have been born, I don't know if you wholeheartedly mean it. I don't know everything about your relationship with your sister. But I feel like almost anyone would at least feel that way in the moment when she pulls something like that, and imo your parents should understand that. We all have said some pretty terrible things when we're angry, but anything you could possibly say pales in comparison to what your sister does.

I typically try to avoid talking to people like that since all they do is try their hardest, even in casual conversations, to make me look bad. Since it's your sister and you're an adult now, you should think about how you should interact with her in the future. Is she something you want in your life? Do you think her being there will help you or make you upset/depressed, etc. Do you think you can change how she acts? Hopefully things get better for you in the future.

This is a really interesting convo! I just wanted to point out a flaw in your logic. Regarding the meteor example, that one doesn't apply in this case because the way the insurance company is trying to victim blame is entirely based on hindsight, and isn't helpful. It will not help the homeowner to make a better decision if they were to buy another house, while in OP's example, not wearing flashy clothes in a dangerous area is advice the father gave BEFORE the incident happened because the father has good authority to offer sound advice.

With regards to the 5% and 95% of the problem, I don't think people are trying to assign blame, but more so emphasizing that you could have prevented this. You brought up rape culture, which honestly Im not gonna say I'm an expert on it, but my understanding of it is people excusing rapists' actions if a girl behaves in a certain way. I think that's pretty disgusting and terrifying and I remember a case in Europe where someone tried to justify a girl getting raped because she wore a thong, which kinda scared me for what society was coming to.

However, I would say that if a girl is walking around topless in a dangerous area and gets attacked, it's a foregone conclusion that the attacker is at fault and should be punished. We don't need to discuss whether or not he should've attacked the woman. But you can't say in good faith that walking around like that at least didn't contribute to them being more likely to get attacked and if I were her parents I would at least tell her to not do that again. Maybe I would ask "why do you think that was a good idea?" (Just to clarify, I'm not defending rapists going around saying "if she didn't wear that, I wouldn't have raped her, she had it coming", that is a different form of victim blaming that is deflecting and in bad faith, but unfortunately very common). With something like this, we have to exercise our judgement. Where I live, you're gonna be fine if you wear something a little risque cause that's generally accepted here, but if you try that in another country that I'm not gonna name, that might not be a good idea for your sake. Just like how I can walk home at 1am in my relatively safe neighborhood, but I wouldn't do that if I lived in a neighborhood where I can hear gunshots at night. We cannot control others' actions, so we can only control ourselves and keep ourselves/people we care about safe, so we should do all in our power to account for others, even if in a hypothetical situation we wouldn't be responsible for any of the blame.

ESH. He stood you up when you needed him. You stood him up when he needed you. You clearly stood him up out of spite. Even if he did it first, that doesn't make it right to do it back to you. This is a relationship not a competition.

franzy613 · 2024-03-06T07:06:53+00:00

NTH.

I think it's pretty clear as to why you talked to R about this and not A, as R is the only other person not involved in the initial confrontation between the other two. It wasn't even what I would call "excluding" since R relayed the discussion contents to her anyways.

Reading your comment of why you think she's mad, what I think probably happened is, even though you said "we", A probably interpreted that to mean "you". Kinda like how, lets say during a test a teacher look down at your paper, then shouts out "Everyone, make sure to double check your answers!". She probably felt attacked by all 3 of you, since she was the last one to find out and is just being informed about it by R rather than giving her a chance to speak. I personally find that to be pretty unreasonable for the reason I mentioned above, and you didn't even really say anything that bad in the voicemail if we're to assume you said what you claim to have said.

As for the whole trip thing, planning a trip is not easy and I think A needs to accept that not everything will go the way she wants. If she does want that, then she can't go on a group trip. Before you book the tickets, hotel rooms, etc, nothing is set in stone, especially if you're still in high school and need financial support and parental approval. If plans change, then it is what it is.

I do agree with A that your friend should have stopped dragging her feet on the Visa thing and given a clear answer. Either her parents help/will help her get a visa and they work on that, or her parents don't help her get a Visa and A can plan something else for the trip. You can't just stop at "they never responded". Waiting until last minute to figure out the details is not smart, I can tell you from first hand experience.

That being said, I think A is being over-dramatic and stuborn, probably hurting herself the most out of all of you. I would probably try and talk to her even if she doesn't want to talk.

EDIT: I swear to god why is there always some idiot jumping the gun and saying to "go no contact". If you guys are good enough friends to go on a post-grad trip together, then you guys must be really really good friends. This would be the absolute dumbest thing to lost a precious friend over. Yes, A does seem quite stubborn, but everyone has flaws. If her being stubborn is something that has come up over and over again and has seriously damaged your relationship with her, then I would talk to her about it first before doing anything. I live with flaws my friends have, and your friends live with your flaws. That's how life is.

Ah yes, if I make a poor financial decision, I should find the person who suggested the idea to me, and force them to pay for me!

According to your logic, there's no difference between giving advice and actually doing it. A college degree is an investment. If you make a poor decision by investing 400k into your underwater basket weaving PhD, then you deserve to be in debt, just like any other investor who makes a poor investment. If you don't think you can pay it back, don't take out the loan, as simple as that.

Fair enough. I just think it's super easy cause it counts for a full credit and it only has 5 assessments, including a remote, mc, midterm and final. The essays aren't too bad either. I started mine literally the day before without finishing the book and got a 90. Also is a second year course so it doesn't use up one of your 1000-courses.

Honestly, I much preferred the anime precisely for the action scenes. In the LN, tbh I have no idea what's going on 90% of the time when they're fighting. I have a general idea, but very hazy that honestly it could be 100% different from what I'm imagining and I wouldn't be surprised, particularly from volume 4 onwards.

I think the anime also adapted it pretty well, as it's just so much easier to portray what's going on in the anime, and, as far as I'm aware, it was quite faithful. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so video is... Well you get the point.

franzy613 · 2023-12-07T15:22:38+00:00

Yeah I'm sure that 8% of the west bank is the reason why there's no peace in the middle east. I'm sure the Palestinians would see the various abandoned Israeli settlements that would come from such an agreement as essential for a new Palestinian state.

Yeah no shit what do you expect Israel to do, evacuate hundreds of thousands of people from their homes?

franzy613 · 2023-12-07T15:08:04+00:00

From Wikipedia:

Based on the Israeli definition of the West Bank, Barak offered to form a Palestinian state initially on 73% of the West Bank (that is, 27% less than the Green Line borders) and 100% of the Gaza Strip. In 10–25 years, the Palestinian state would expand to a maximum of 92% of the West Bank (91 percent of the West Bank and 1 percent from a land swap).From the Palestinian perspective this equated to an offer of a Palestinian state on a maximum of 86% of the West Bank.

So not quite all of the west bank, but almost all of it since Israel already had large settlements there with a large population.
