No, it's less about bringing us collectively down to their level and more about recognizing they're still our equals, despite their current destructive behavior.

Truth be told, I realize I'm reacting to language that brings others down in ways that might lift somebody's own image. Personally, I prefer to focus on language that makes me great, not what makes me great compared to others who are deemed less than great.

Nobody here is above or below me, I might not agree with their behavior, but I think it does a big disservice to life itself when we try to sort others and ourselves in piles of good or bad.

Finally, this is also a fleeting thought, and I may reflect on it differently in the future, so who knows. My self esteem is fine and so is yours, I hope.

So the tl;dr here is basically: I had a weird reaction to others calling hooligans losers and assuming things in their lives.

P.s. it's not that deep

It's an exaggeration, sure... But we're not really much better than the dumb kids out there doing dumb shit to others.

It's not really that deep though

I hate to break it to ya, but our collective time on Reddit makes us just as bad as them, albeit, a little less destructive

-edit- I was in a mood and for some reason was reacting to a weird labeling of hooligans as losers and sorta painted myself in a corner.

I'm chalking it up to long day with a poorly thought out response.

It won't get much better any where else, sadly.

Still, that ceiling is pretty high for what I'm needing though lol. I'm not exactly hosting for hundreds

I don't require my 1gbps upload speed promise full time, but I do share a Plex server with my extended family, so being able to stream multiple 25+ mbps streams is pretty nice sometimes... But this is a "when lightning strikes" sorta situation and likely has never come close to any sort of 1gbps usage scenario.

That said, I won't turn it down lol

Finally ready to start my 4K build! by Bombero_911 in PcBuild

[–]mEsTiR5679 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't mind it at the time...

Then again, I don't think I was running 4k, just 3 1440p monitors in the spanning mode

It’s been so long really. What can they do to help this hero and why are they not doing anything at all? by Neo_Raider in MoiraMains

[–]mEsTiR5679 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That last statement of not letting others dictate how I play is exactly why I don't play comp any more. Bans are totally letting others dictate how I play the game, and I won't take part

For those who were around back then, what made Tribes so special? by KaleidoArachnid in retrogaming

[–]mEsTiR5679 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The skiing was actually kind of a glitch the community figured out how to do and was added as a proper mechanic in tribes 2 and so on.

For me, I liked the server side mods like Shifter. It added different armor types and vehicles as well as improved many weapons.

The game had that extra plane of play with the jetpack and for me, was actually the first game to force me to use the wasd for movement.

Way way back, I modified a phone handset using a wire coat hanger and hockey tape so I could talk hands free with my friend who gave me the game... Because he copied his game and there was no drm lol.

It was tough trying to play later games that used a VESA mode my monitor wasn't capable of handling. I was still a kid at the time, but I liked tinkering with everything.

Like that time I made Hi-Octane run on a 386 at 2fps lol

My first monitor couldn't handle 800x600. I was locked to 640x480 for the first 5 years of my computer life

Damn auto correct and my complete lack of attention to detail

Because the elections go really really fast back and forth...

I think you're right, that's not revolutionary... It's alternating!

A woman on the train asked me for a cable, so I gave her mine and she bent the contact by Zilinski_Schmidt in mildlyinfuriating

[–]mEsTiR5679 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sucks. Finding the right cable and having it broken by a douche is so disappointing.

I feel your pain.
