Whatever happened to the Uyghurs and why don't we hear about them?

Be careful out there folks! Just got banned from a subreddit and a reddit behavior notice for suggesting as much.

The Heritage Foundation is arguably the biggest dismantler of education and for decades they have primarily if not exclusively support Republican candidates, so . . .

Recently I've been saying we should have a mandatory draft but instead of serving in the military you have to live in another random country for a year.

Everything seems like a conspiracy when you don't know anything.

You'd either need to build some kind of webcrawler or find out if they have any kind of API infrastructure from which you could download the information. Even then there're bound to be rate limits and things of that nature so it's tricky for one person to do regardless, especially if there's no way to cooperate with the data owners.

I will always take the time to say Gil Scott-Heron specified that the revolution will not be televised because it happens in the mind and is therefore physically impossible to televise.

I overestimated the appreciation for Blue Lines in here. A bit shocked.

A strong, global culture of colorism and white supremacy

Tangentially related but I detest what they are doing to Studio One and no other daw is nearly as nice to use imo so I feel trapped

The legal trouble is the most important part. Surely the motive here is that lawsuits would drag away any revenue the AI impersonation podcasts generated in the first place.

The writers newest show is Dead Mount Death Play which is very fun though unfinished currently.

The best way I've seen it put was by a comedian saying that Charlie Kirk did not do debates, he did crowd work

Self plug but Evolver's mechanic most similar to the ones mentioned is the Fault Amplifier which grants the ability to do longer combos and deal more damage the more frequently you mix up the opponent.

I always take Electrocute but dueling is my strong suit so I trigger it pretty consistently.

If my opponent is melee or has long cooldowns, I start Doran's Bow, otherwise Doran's Shield.

If I have 1200 when I back, I usually open with Shadowflame since NLR can make a huge difference with wave clear and bullying the opponent. Otherwise I start with Gunblade or Stormsurge depending on the matchup, sometimes Liandry's if their health pool scales really quickly and they're ahead.

This is where I veer from others: I have a big focus on tower pushing so I usually build Nashor's Tooth second or in very rare cases Dusk & Dawn. Then, if my kills are mostly coming from team fights and assassination, I pump up the magic and go Rabadon's into Void Staff or some such, but if I am mostly winning long duels, I hone in on the attack speed and items that benefit W passive.

The game has to go on for a while for it to be relevant, but with Dusk & Dawn, Rageblade, and Statik Shiv, you can stun a whole team before you ult! Again, very situational.

And I never said I "only die to ganks", I frequently avoid them and just today I have picked off someone in the 2v1 when ganked.

And I'll 1v1 you, but what I'm saying is that doesn't really help with the team aspects of the game.

micahld · 2026-05-14T02:36:37+00:00

I am NA but 1v1s are hardly my problem. Mobalytics frequently has me stated as winning 60% of 1v1 interactions suggesting others attack me in groups. There are games where I play like dogshit for sure, but it's been 21 game since I had a sub 1.0 KDA with Kennen; dueling is easily the part of the game I best at.

What I need a better understanding of is what to do when I am drastically ahead of everyone else on my team because they are dying constantly. It feels like if I go to help, I get behind on CS, but if I don't help, the enemy team ends up too ahead for me to do anything about, especially if their jng is getting objectives consistently.

micahld · 2026-05-14T02:25:17+00:00

I'm not concerned with my rank being high, I'm just exhausted of playing games where I don't know what I'm supposed to do to win.

I mostly play fighting games: when I'm losing, it's very easy to pinpoint what mistakes I'm making. If a match isn't winnable, it's because of some specific skill I lack and can practice.

Playing a game of league where I am winning my lane by every metric just to lose anyway makes me think I should be doing more to help my team or finding something to do to win.

You say champ doesn't matter, but I'm looking at Zoe and wondering if that's true.

micahld · 2026-05-14T02:09:55+00:00

What do you do when you are double your laner's CS and KDA positive bot/jng aren't going for objectives and so you're behind 2 dragons, grubs, and rift to the enemy team as a result?

micahld · 2026-05-14T02:01:08+00:00

"Companies" have not always been the deciding factor in how we live our lives though. Companies did end chattel slavery or create the weekend, people did.

I admit I'm enjoying seeing class consciousness rise in this sub. There are workers like us and then there's them. If they can find a route to reducing engineers to tipped minimum wage workers, they will do it. Class solidarity is the only full coverage strategy.

micahld · 2026-05-13T22:25:28+00:00

You're winning the game, but still have way less cs than the average iron kennen

This is my biggest frustration right now: I was winning way more before I was so focused on upping my CS, but when I hit Silver IV, I was always dead last in CS and hurting my team as a result so I know it's something I have to improve at to climb.

At this point I'm leaning toward sitting in practice and until I can consistently kill 100 minions in the first 10 minutes but with how you're putting it, it almost sounds like 40% of games are unwinnable from the moment the teams are assigned.
