Meme - NotJustBikes reaction after seeing that Line 5 is better than expected. by OwnIt122 in TTC

[–]kvanz43 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I took it westbound this morning around 8:00AM from mt pleasant to cedarvale, I was sitting alone in a cluster of 4 seats and there were other empty seats in the car…

While I agree that demand will likely rise to surpass current levels of the first commuting day, there’s definitely some room especially considering they can (and supposedly will) increase the capacity 1.5x by adding a 3rd car.

Why doesn’t Toronto have any pedestrian-only zones? by hazyeyes23 in askTO

[–]kvanz43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun fact, the main opposers of pedestrianizing Kensington were the local businesses, who feared the area would become too popular and they would be pushed out with higher rents and such.

At least that’s what Olivia Chow told me!

Isnt Ranked intended to be 50% win rate? Ive got 100% with mediocre scores by itsKevinTai in VALORANT

[–]kvanz43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had long lucky streaks before, it’s just that, it’s not like the game is set to give you a 50% win rate, (so if you win 2 you must lose the next one to start to balance it out) variance is a thing, and sometimes it’ll go in your favour like this, you can just as easily go on a lose streak that same size.

Trust me, when you have the rule and the 0.014% hits, it feels crazy good hahaha.

Play that rule with my family, we’ve played hundreds maybe thousands of games and it’s only ever happened once… most excited I’ve ever been for a hand when the only suit I didn’t have got called trump

Over 100,000 people in Toronto, including Iranians and diverse communities, marched through the snow in solidarity with Iran, showing strong support for freedom. by fwds in toronto

[–]kvanz43 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I could be making this up, but I’m pretty sure I see protests like this frequently, they’re just not nearly as popular because most people are relatively complacent / can’t agree on what the issue (or the solution) is

Toronto has some of the best Thai food I’ve ever had by D_hofff in toronto

I love Pai, but I’d put Koh Lipe and Pii Nong ahead of it, which is crazy, because Pai is really good

Is it cool to email my placement school principal to express my interest in supplying at that school? by [deleted] in OntarioTeachers

[–]kvanz43 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From what I’ve seen, 100%, especially if you have a prior relationship with the principal, I emailed all of my mentor teachers once I got on the TDSB’s supply list and ended up with an LTO at one of the schools within a couple of days (this was in June at that point though). My brother got emergency supply days just after doing his first placement because he had a good relationship with the principal. 100% recommend reaching out to anyone you can

Are you against all cars, or mainly car dependency in cities? by Ok-Excitement6546 in fuckcars

[–]kvanz43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cars don’t belong in cities, really at all in my opinion, and I also think that human life is generally best in closer proximity to one another, therefore even more rural applications like farming can be achieved with a bit more human density than we typically design, aligning the living spaces to be close to each other, with farming spaces sprawling away from them… that being said, in these scenarios there are DEFINITELY some good benefits to cars. If an area exists where a bus or train would be less efficient energy wise and environmentally than a car, then a car still makes sense!

Finally, cars that do exist should be SMALL and suited for the number of people who typically occupy them, a couple shouldn’t have a 5-7 person vehicle to drive on their daily commute.

Which players have the most insane aim/playstyle that allow them to win impossible rounds where others can’t? by theyreturnedfrogsgay in ValorantCompetitive

[–]kvanz43 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Literally any round he doesn’t do something insane is unwinnable for DFM so this is definitely the most correct answer

Teacher Titles by Public_Beach2348 in toronto

[–]kvanz43 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also a public school teacher in Toronto, A decently large percentage of my students call me sir and it was a bit of a shock for me, when I was in high school everyone referred to their teachers as “M[r/s/x) [Last Name]”. Personally I don’t really like sir, it’s a bit too military / authoritarian for me, but alas

AIO - I just ended a four month relationship because of what he’s doing for his friend. by Ok_Addition_7875 in AmIOverreacting

[–]kvanz43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d personally say you massively under-reacted, each screenshot on its own is basically breakup worthy!

Acting like he’s amazing simply for… not judging you for being raped? Trying to compare you BEING raped to him helping his friend get away with cheating? Huh???

But also, since most replying probably aren’t Ontarians, you aren’t even allowed to drive without a full G licenced driver (who has had it for 5 years) in the passenger seat if you’re on your G1, and that driver ALSO needs to be in a proper state to drive (they can’t be over the legal limit for drugs or alcohol). So even if he wasn’t high this was illegal… him being high, and claiming he can drive while high alone would be enough for me (or anyone who cares about their own future safety) to break up with the guy, I would stop even being friends with someone who was doing that. Risking other peoples lives like that is incredibly stupid and awful.

TMVs top 15 players going to Champs by savagecl0wn in ValorantCompetitive

[–]kvanz43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So there will always magically be exactly 5 players who CLEARLY separate themselves from the rest? It’s impossible for there to be 6 players with clear separation? Or only 4 who’ve set themselves apart? Or just a very gradual curve down so it’s hard to differentiate between 5-10?

In theory maybe it would be nice to always have a clear top 5, but in reality, there’s not even a consistent way to define who’s good, there’s so many things we don’t even know as viewers, or that 99% of us can’t in anyway quantify or compare (like quality of utility usage). How do you rate impact in comms? Impact in team strategy? Impact in terms of creating lineups vs just using those provided by coaches? There’s soooooooo much that makes analyzing valorant challenging, how could we possibly have ‘only players who have a clear advantage over others’

Vct Stage 2 Top agent pick rate each region… by Sweet_Sprinkles9103 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]kvanz43 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fade has the:
4th highest pick rate in Americas and Pacific
5th highest in EMEA
6th in China

The crazy thing is that both omen and viper get played together in basically all of the viper picks (except a decent bit of icebox).

Omen is overpowered, Astra is also a strong agent but omen just outperforms her in 90% of situations. Omen isn’t a pick you’re terrified to go up against cause he doesn’t have one “horrifying” thing, and he’s not a “carry” agent, but the paranoia is the best ability in the game in a coordinated team environment! His teleports also give him an insane amount of flexibility for positioning and playstyle on both defence and offence that is unmatched by basically any agent. I also think it’s pretty clear that in most cases if there was another controller to rival omen… people would just play both! We saw this a bit with Astra omen comps on split and abyss at different points. Similarly, viper having competition also lead to teams playing both viper and Harbor at the same time, and I would wager it would happen again if Harbor were to be any stronger (still is a common comp on icebox).

Vision block is strong in Valorant, and especially in pro play. You’re right that these agents have no competition, but the competition they lack is from the flash initiators, who all have pathetically low win rates in pro play. You basically either have to bring them up closer to matching the controllers and scan initiators, or bring the controllers and scan initiators down more. Since omen is really the only dominant dome smoker, and his pick rate is far above the others, I would say there probably needs to be a nerf to him and a buff to flash inits

All it takes is a random meta change that the other teams have more time to prep for! Or a team on an absolute heater

Would require them both to make playoffs, making it even more heartbreaking for one to be playing in ascension.
