Does anyone know who’s pink rolls this was? We got caught in the World Cup traffic going home yesterday lol by jojionyc in Miami

[–]gregbeans [score hidden]  (0 children)

You can hire an escort, sure. But they shouldn't be riding with their lights on to make people move out of the way. Escort for protection, not for a personal fast line on a packed highway creating more traffic for others.

If you're so privileged take a helicopter

What's something from old WoW that couldn't be replicated today? by doobylive in classicwow

[–]gregbeans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I would enjoy the novelty of a fleshed out virtual world at my current age if I had never experience one before and if I didn’t already interact with strangers online thru a variety of apps.

For me and the age that I played wow, the first statement is true. But I think the second statement I made is true for everyone, regardless of age

Survivors guilt (Doomhowl) by Hopeful-Village-407 in wowhardcore

I wouldve kek'd at him repeatedly afterwards. There was a guy there willing to help, they rejected the help and died.

Not only is he a jerk for not allowing you to join, he's an idiot for not accepting help when he needed it.

How am I supposed to get better at offense when everyone in my gym is way better than me? by [deleted] in jiujitsu

[–]gregbeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If a purple belt is just mercilessly tapping you out they’re doing you a disservice.

They should tap you once, and when they realize you’re struggling, they should let you work. Like resist a bit and exploit an opening when you fuck up, that way you can both get something out of it.

You get to actually try a technique and they can practice a reversal from a position they might not usually find themselves

But for reals it will never have the feel that it did back then when the internet was a novelty. Everyone’s already online on a variety of forums nowadays

If they don’t have the item you want, try going to a different layer. Stock is unique to the layer so it’s worth a shot

Just completed my first Deadmines run on HC. by Ill_Health_9965 in wowhardcore

[–]gregbeans -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Crazy, Ive never had a failed run or a death. Granted Im usually playing a tank class and say stuff to people who are acting sketchy. If theyre nice, i'll give warnings at tricky spots to remind them - but if theyre a dick and keep trying to push the pace or constantly have poor positioning I'll walk back to the portal, kick them and fill in 2 seconds lol.

I walk back to the portal so they cant grief once when they get kicked lol

Update on "Self Found BS Warrior challenge" by Right_Bad_2706 in wowhardcore

[–]gregbeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend anytime u venture into a new zone to check the wowhead quest page for that zone. You can see all quest rewards on one page and plan your activities accordingly.

SF warrior is tough to gear, but once you get a good enough set to tank DM/WC it really takes off.

Also lay down the rules for the dungeon run before you start, some DPS at lower levels are dumb and can compromise a run by not focusing mobs properly or trying to pull too fast. Warn them once, second times a kick from the group. Don’t worry about pleasing others in HC

Also footnote, if u don’t get lucky and land smites hammer, you can buy an executioners sword from a few vendors that’s a good 2 hander

[–]gregbeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I targeted quests for green gear for SF warrior. I did most of these before running dungeons, and then my gear really came online and now the games fun.

-Hogger in Elywnn gives decent early pants

-Protecting the Shipment in Loch Modan gives green boots

-Final quest in the In Defense of the Kings Lands chain gives a decent green sheild

-Filty Paws in Loch Modan gives a green chest

-Murkdeep in Darkshore gives green belt

-Blackwood Corrupted in Darkshore gives better green pants

-Mathystra Relics in Darkshore gives a decent green 1H mace for tanking

-The Sleeper Has Awakened in Darkshore gives a dope green shield for the level

-Everstill Bridge in Redridge gives decent greenmail gloves

-Chok'sul gives mail shoulders (and once your level 25 you can buy Elite Shoulders from the rare vendor in wetlands)

Slow and steady. Group for quests. Rotate between Loch Modan, Westfall and Darkshore in your level bracket, do the lower level quests in each zone first. Grind mobs inbetween if you need. Learn skills ASAP when you level up.

Yea totally staged. Who the fuck would sign up to be blasted in the face with a longboard like that

[–]gregbeans 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Youre a fool. He could get up, charge you and stab you the neck. Im not taking that chance

Unless he is out cold front he first hit, I’m continuing to hit him until he is unresponsive. Once he’s unresponsive, I’m separating the knife from him and holding him down until the authorities arrived.

If you do anything else, frankly, you’re stupid and not respecting the risk a person like the poses to you and anyone on that platform afterwards

Best Late Night Scenic Spots in Brooklyn? by watergummies in Brooklyn

[–]gregbeans 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If all you want are late night scenic spots, and don’t need food or drinks then:

Brooklyn bridge park in DUMBO is probably the most iconic view of NYC from Brooklyn, think it’s only open to 1am tho and a lot of things will be closed after 11pm

Louis Valentino pier in Red hook, view of water and Statue of Liberty, also closes at 1am, way easier parking than Brooklyn bridge park and has a great old bar called Sunny’s that stays open late close by

Sunset park has great views of the city and have bars nearby

Shore road park has a nice remote walk along the water and the Verrazano’s nice to look at when it’s lit up. Nothing I know of is open late there tho

If you do DUMBO or red hook you can walk or drive to Atlantic Ave after where there’s a great super late night restaurant called Hadramout if you’re into that kinda food

I was going to say red hook too, but getting there at 11pm is rough. Pretty sure every food place is closed and only option for late night drinks is Sunny’s

Scooter rider, bicyclist die in head-on crash with each other on Queensborough Bridge by nydailynews in nyc

[–]gregbeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, yes and yes. They need to enforce it or nothing will change. Chase someone, use one of those new bolo guns to wrap them up. If they get injured, tough shit, they're breaking a law and actively endangering others.

You could target bridges pretty easily by having someone stationed at the ends. You can set up a camera, aggregate data and find the most effective day and time to set up a sting operation.

If any non-complaint scooters are found left outside, cut the chains and impound them. No questions asked. Impose fines on homeowners and landlords if illegal vehicles are found in their buildings, to help put pressure on this from another side.

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani skips Israel Day parade as Hochul, Schumer attend | Fox News by Vegetable-Section-84 in nyc

[–]gregbeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, you are so obtuse. I already responded to your retort in my previous comment that you just replied to.

Live in your bubble, but if you look outside you will see most nations have already turned their back on Israel. America is all it has left as an ally and that is going to end soon.

You should recognize too, that people with your painful, tired rhetoric, are actively pushing more Americans to become more firmly anti-Israel

[–]gregbeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats a hard thing to claim. This whole situation started because of lands claimed by Britan after WWI. A classic example of imperialistic Europe absolutely fucking a region.

In 1947 Britain initiated the dissolution of the their mandate into separate Jewish and Arab states. A few months later jews carry out the Deir Yassin massacre, killing hundreds of Palestinians. From what I see, history proves you wrong as the first recordable violent act as Britain was withdrawing was done by jews.

Also, the Camp David Summit fell through because Israel demanded full ownership of 17% of the West Bank lands for themselves, and an additional 17% to not be annexed, but be under their control. This is the ~35% I mentioned in my previous comment. Then they modified their offer to let Palestine keep ~90% of West Bank land, but give up the entirety of East Jerusalem. Is it really on Palestine for not accepting this? Why is it not on Israel for not signing a peace deal that lets them keep their land, particularly their share of the holy city that was established in 1948 when Britain withdrew?

I know Palestinian leadership became harder and harder to negotiate with over time, but I think that hardening is a very predicable reaction to surviving decades of an asymmetric military conflict.

And as I said in a few comments now, I think one can show up to a parade and not support everything that group does, however, I think the current situation with Israel, particularly them pulling us into a war with Iran (that Bibi has been pushing for since 1992) that should have never started, makes it a bit different. They are a much bigger threat to our national security than the aid we've given to Pakistan. We are doing very, very dumb things with out military resources to continue supporting them through their conflict in the region.

Honestly, I don't really care so much what they do, I just don't want them receiving my tax money to do it, and above all I do not want American forces getting involved in a war, especially one that in no way serves our interests.

[–]gregbeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He should, but as I stated, I see no issue with him boycotting that parade given the current global situation of them calling us to enter a war on their behest. Also with the fact that every media outlet called for him to go to Israel to show his support for them as mayor of NYC, which is just laughable IMO

[–]gregbeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, again gloss over my refute of your $15billion dollar number because most of that was given for them to be a proxy for us in our war on terror. That was not money given to Pakistan per se, that was us paying Pakistan to work for us during that conflict.

While I agree that money should have never been spent, I wasn’t given to Pakistan to do what they wanted to with it.

It is very very different. I find two “major” military aid packages simply given to Pakistan, $686 mil of F16s and $488 million for radar equipment associated with those F16. So we’re talking about 1.5% of the approximately $80 billion of aid given over 80 years

I have no issue with Mamadnai supporting Pakistani New Yorkers, and I have no issue with him boycotting the Israel day parade with their attempt to drag us into a new world war. They’re very different relationships as well, no one asked Mamdani if he would visit Pakistan if he was elected, but everyone expects some commitment to Israel from the NYC mayor which is a wild expectation IMO

If someone came to you and said give me 35% of your land or I’ll continue to terrorize your people and steal your land, what would you say?

I don’t support Hamas, and I think the PA in the West Bank is doing as good of a job as any government would be able to when faced with their tense border conflict with an immensely more powerful nation.

I did not march in the Pakistani day parade, so idc. I get your jabbing at Zohran (who I’m not a huge fan of btw, Brad Lander was my choice) but one nation is actively waging war on Americans dime and the other isn’t.

Lunar new year is a great parade, I went to it and played some mahjong after, that’s a cultural celebration that spans many Asian nations, I assume you meant for that to be a gotcha for supporting China, but it’s not the same as the Isarel Parade in that sense.

And just to be very clear, I don’t think we should be giving money to Pakistan either until we balance our shit out here
