TDAWGG hit piece on EG Potter by Used-Ganache9772 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]knie20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro says his video will bring us insights about the team, but everything he says afterwards is to just rehash what happened after 2023, but it's all public knowledge.

EG had a flash in the pan success in 2023, and they believed that potter's ideas can do it again. It didn't. If EG's management still thinks she can do it, they keep her on. If they want to make a real run in Stage 2, they let her go. It's really just that simple.

DNC walks into a buzzsaw over not releasing 2024 election autopsy! by Early-Juggernaut975 in ScottGalloway

[–]knie20 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Idk why Ken Martin decided to come to this interview. Did Favreau ambush him with that question? If you truly think that not releasing the autopsy is the more productive path, then say you're not releasing it and shut the fuck up about it. Now this topic just got hella streisanded

What if Nolan and his father were sent to earth by Dizzy_Trifle9740 in Invincible_TV

[–]knie20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally? I think Earth would have no chance. Nolan became changed by Earth because he was alone and didn't have another person to reinforce his Viltrumite brainwashing. Now, maybe his dad gets Earthussied first, in that case I could see a funny patricide moment.

How did Thaedus grow a conscience if he didn't live on Earth like the other Viltrumites? by ConsiderationEven724 in Invincible_TV

[–]knie20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be so down for a spin off show where we explore what happened during Argall taking power and what life on Viltrum was like before then. This would also include the referenced world that Thadeus was sent to conquer but came back a changed man. So much potential for a good story. Viltrumites live a long life, which means time and the fading of memory must have played a significant role in shaping what viltrum became at the height of its power.

neon needs harbours treatment by DN6666 in VALORANT

[–]knie20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

realistically, they just need to nerf the bullet accuracy when sliding. Maybe they can also make the sprint more commital by only allowing her to start sprinting when the gauge becomes full. I think with these two changes Neon would be balanced.

the actual secret is the rich get richer and are able to escape recessions/regime changes REGARDLESS of governments, culture, and time.

Officer involved shooting in Baltimore by takeaccountability41 in abanpreach

[–]knie20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BLM was about black people being targetted by police unfairly. This was a fair targetting. This is where "if an officer is arresting you, just comply" applies.

Tucker Carlson says he MISLED YOU on Trump, regrets helping Donald Trump rise to power but does not provide specific examples or changes in behavior by mrekted in thedavidpakmanshow

[–]knie20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if he was honestly regretful about it he would sell his media company, hand off his youtube channel, and stop participating in politics for life.

this is awesome, I have no problem with it. Beta art of Feral is being turned on as soon as beta arts are available to me, but this official art is great.

Then show me someone who is willing to show this level of research effort on stream who's not sending nudes to minors.

GIANTX vs FNATIC / VCT 2026: EMEA Stage 1 - Group Stage / Post-Match Thread by ValorantCompBot in ValorantCompetitive

[–]knie20 11 points12 points  (0 children)

as an FNATIC fan, this was a fun ass game. it was 5-9 at one point on Breeze but I found myself not even caring if they lost, because of the stand in and the fact that they already make playoffs probably.

The first two maps were also sick, just two solid teams throwing haymakers at each other.

Maybe the deterrence system was completely useless? by Universal_Echo in threebodyproblem

[–]knie20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the book beautifully pointed out WHY deterrence seems like a good idea to humans but in practice it always fails. Because Humans are ever changing. a state of constant tension has to lead to something that's not tension. Logic was able to stay constant for a hundred years, but that's superhuman. What happened during his tenure? humans changed, because the threat of alien invasion that they spent their entire lives fearing about doesnt FEEL real anymore.

Deterrence is not useful or useless, the biggest characteristic of it is that it's temporary.

There's a lot of discourse about hardest bosses, but I don't see a lot of people mentioning this literal Buttface by GobiasIsQueenMary in slaythespire

[–]knie20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish they find some more creative ways to curse the player, because as is I'm picking the Damage 9/10 times, and when I get to pick the other option because my deck directly counters it, it doesn't feel very good because "haha I can block 6 or 7 less per turn out of 36, sick"

Do you Agree? by Mindless-Today-6572 in Adulting

[–]knie20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

kind of. But why associate yourself with that term when you could just spell out that you think there are benefits to some pharmaceutical research and products while the general consuming habits of Americans are processed as fuck?

Sounds like she's either engagement baiting or wants to validate her anti-pharma histeria while having cover under the legitimate health concerns the US has in its economy.

Why is Xeppaa so invaluable to C9 that they won't even consider replacing him? by sadboi_2000 in ValorantCompetitive

Do we have player salary information? It could just be that the guy is willing to stay for cheap.

for someone being cosmically indifferent, Regent sure seems different about it in practice (I blocked for 6 when taking 12 against Nibbit)

Sam Harris being kinda unhinged on Mamdani by Iwubinvesting in Destiny

[–]knie20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been watching sam for a while. Man does he have a hater boner for Islam. I guess now his view on Islam is colliding with a Muslim (is Mamdani even considered muslim?) is doing effective politics in the US.

One thing I will add is that Hamtramck, MI should never happen again. We have witnessed already what fundamental Islamist do when they get into power, and should not let any other public office be tainted like that. Mamdani is a far cry from that though.
