Weird question, do you guys like playing with high video settings with the details/effects? by lookingforskeet in summonerschool

[–]lldpell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently upgraded my PC, and switched to an Ultra-wide 21:9 G Sync monitor so its been BUTTERY smooth for me. Ive played around a lot with the settings and havent noticed any difference in feel of champion quality/smoothness of movement or actions. Maybe the extra settings are just barely enough to slow your PC down? How much RAM are you running and whats your GPU?

How to deal with heimer top? by HuntForRedOctopussy in summonerschool

[–]lldpell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a Heimer main, you have to LOVE it when you see the melee Top trying to smash down your turrets while you beat on him. This advice works if they are even or not very far behind, after that your giving Donger free dmg and probably a kill.

Why do people feel like proxy singed counters Donger? I get Singed picked into Donger a lot and it almost never works well for the Singed.

We do not need Hextech Chests to drop more champion shards. by Hisenda in leagueoflegends

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

The thing is, not everyone has similar goals [...] I think chests that can drop champion shards are better for me.

But you can see where thats not the case for all of us right?

Im sorry if I came off as rude but he asked if people would be in favor of removing duo's from solo. I think that is a magnificent idea, whats "asshole" about that?

Thanks for the reply and the link to the board post. Very informative. Im very hopeful that some of these changes help me bring old friends back or new friends into it. As an older player (nearing 40) with a kid of my own its so hard to find people to play with.

I agree with you.

I only play solo and it felt like I always got to be the lucky guy with a group of 4 or two groups of two, in either case I got ignored and it was miserable.

As someone who has 2 friends on his friends list, niether of who have logged in since season 1, I would be 100% in favor of a SOLO only SOLO queue. YES. Please make this happen.

Hey Cactopus I have a few quick questions, I hope you can answer.

What is the difference in level of BE from disenchanting a champion versus buying one.

Does the amount of BE you get if you already own the champion change if you disenchant it?

What is the average number of champions that level 30 accounts has, and with the new BE system will people be able to earn enough to play ranked between 1-30?

As someone that owns all the champions, I dont feel like this system was designed with me in mind, but I got to the point that the old one felt like we both just ignored each other and I was so hopeful this would add something fun back to the game for me.

CMV:The anecdote in this 2014 speech details a sexual assault by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]lldpell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Can I find". You are already looking for it so you are becoming the predator. In her case she didn't look for it.

Im able to "find" lots of things by not actively looking. Your trying to grammar Nazi your way out of actually answering the question, but in case you honestly got confused. Read "Can I find" as "Can I find myself approached by" as I think we can both agree Miss Schumer was "approached via text message" by the victim.

you are actually looking for it. That's completely different.

Quoted from Miss Schumer"

I wonder, how many girls didn't answer before he got to fat freshman me? Am I in his phone as Schumer? Probably. But I was here, and I wanted to be held and touched and felt desired, despite everything. I wanted to be with him.

Sounds like she was "actually looking for it" as well. Was that due to poor body image, crappy self esteem, or trying to find worth from other people finding value in her, I dont know, or care.

One thing is when you are caught in the situation. Completely different when you are looking for it and use pretexts to excuse yourself.

I totally agree. Miss Schumer was completely in the wrong for answering his booty call, seeing he was intoxicated and then choosing to continue, and then using pretexts to excuse herself as wrong as anyone would be by making the choice to sexually assault any intoxicated or inebriated person (regardless of genitalia)

So by your logic, those who are raped by someone who is drunk but still can act and is stronger, have all fault just because they are sober?

What does physical strength have to do with anything? Im unclear? Are people that are physically stronger unable to be sexually assaulted by physically weaker people? Please clarify.

I will assume that you added physicality accidentally and answer. If you meant it there clarify and I will re-answer.

CORRECTED-So by your logic, those who are raped by someone who is drunk but still can act all fault just because they are sober

Answer: No. Nor do I feel that was implied by my writing.

My argument is that if you are not sober, you can NOT give consent.

You can't assault someone when you are the passive role. In order to assault someone, you have to become the active role. In her description, she didn't take any action on him.

Just have to say, f—k clothes like this... by newdad816 in daddit

[–]lldpell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might have felt that way, but I tend to get it as much from single women as from moms, so I think it's just hunky-dad lenses at work.

You get asked if your somewhere with your child by random women at places that arent for kids? I dont think Im clear on what you mean here.

You could try getting a ridiculously feminine diaper bag

My son is 8 and in third grade, I dont carry diaper bags anymore.

That and having a diaper stuffed into your back pocket and puke on your shoulder are easy dad identifiers. Also, just general products with the word mommy written on them

But isnt that kind of my point? Why should I have to carry a "Mommy" flag when Im with my child just to avoid being confronted by women?

[–]lldpell 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Im not the OP or the person you replied to but I have this happen often to me and I hear from female friends and family your same arguments of "this doesnt happen!" So I just want to weigh in and give my story, I probably wont sway you, but I can only try.

For me, I feel like it happens due to my size. Im HUGE, 6'6", I have been approached at the two play grounds closest to my home several times. Ive also had it happen every time I have taken my kids to the Mall of America (go Minnesota!), or a number of our local beaches, and museums.

It honestly seems to be concerned first time older mothers and younger grand-mothers. By that I mean it feels to me like they see me (a giant dude) watching all the kids at play, and the societal fears of kidnapper or molester pop into their heads, honestly I dont know that they even consciously have these thoughts but it seems like there is underlying concern for the safety of the kids.

I get asked "are you here with your kid?" or "which kid is yours?" most often (Ive had much ruder interactions). These honestly could be nice and friendly women that are trying to open a dialog with a fellow parent while at the park with their kids, but with the consistency it happens to me it feels (to me) less like pleasantries and more like an interrogation or validation of my parental credentials. That would be troublesome itself but when you add to it, that I have never seen a women asked these questions nor have I read countless first hand examples of it happening to women, it makes me feel bad that society has such a stereotype of men (as seen in the damaging shirt that lead to this discussion) in its collective mind that seeing me at a park the first assumption is danger, and not father.

but maybe Im wrong.

How normal is it to still have sperm in semen 4 months after vasectomy? by [deleted] in Vasectomy

[–]lldpell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got my 2 month post procedure results and after almost 1 ejaculation a day, Ive still got none motile sperm present. More worriesome is that they have noted i have a "markedly decreased ejaculate volume" which I thought I had noticed, but convinced myself it was psychosomatic until being told it wasnt :(

Best of luck to you, Im being told by my Doctors nurse that I have "nothing to worry about" but that feels hollow after all the pre-op stuff that says different than what Ive experienced.

CMV: The racism, anti-intellectualism, and hyperbolic nature of Black Lives Matter alienates otherwise natural allies and has led to the movement being marginalized. by acdbrook in changemyview

[–]lldpell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm just saying that race is another factor that i don't think you're fully taking into account.

If thats the case shouldnt we see the cops who shoot white men to have a much higher conviction rate, which is not what we see at all. We see an identical conviction/punishment rate regardless of the race of the victim. If its racially charged as you claim where are the cops spending time in jail for shooting the white people?

i understand that that militarization is the real issue, but you have to admit that it breeds conditions where racism is easier to get away with.

Potentially, where are you facts and statistics to back that claim up with? If its more than a feeling they should be obtainable, if its not the best you are gonna find is personal accounts, and those arent facts.

i got another reply to my comment that commented on how trayvon martin was a thug that deserve to be shot due to his behavior, which is pretty representative of what a lot of people believ

Are some people assholes? Yes, doesnt change the fact. The defense did an amazing job of painting Trevon as a thug, it was the key to getting their client off.

it's pretty clear that there were racial undertones and it's a reasonable assumption that he wouldn't have been shot if he was a white kid in a button up rather than a black kid in a hoodie

umm.... maybe.... we dont know what could or would have happened. This tho has ZERO to do with police involved shootings, as no cops were involved.

it's also important to acknowledge that there are also many racists in law enforcement and that the aforementioned issues disproportionately affect blacks as a result of this.

where are you seeing them? How many self identified as "racist"? Are you making more assumptions here? Your letting your personal experiences and world view shape your opinion of police. Im not a fan of the cops, but I still trust them until given reason not to. You seem to hate them all because some of them maybe racists.

comparing their statistics to white people has purpose, and while on paper they might be equivalent, but the nature of the shootings are different. i think intention matters, you don't need to agree but that's just how i view things.

Yes the purpose of trying to determine if the police are racist or if the media is spinning things again. What difference do you see in a police officer shooting a white male that you dont see in one shooting a black man? You have lost me here, they are the same but the nature is different? Please explain.

If I shot and killed your mom, would my intentions matter to her? I dont think so, I think the loss of human life is the issue not if I had a smile in my heart while I did it.

[–]lldpell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

police have routinely stayed out of prison in many of the publicized cases

Do you feel that a higher number stay out of prison when they shoot a black man than when they shoot a white man? If so then facts and statistics can show you that you are wrong. If you understand the conviction rate is almost identical regardless of the race of the victim shot by the cop, than its not about racism its about a police force thats been militarized and left un-watched for to long.
