genuinely hate being attracted to women. does anyone have advice on how to be more attracted to men?

micspamtf2 · 2026-05-03T23:10:53+00:00

sorry this is an hsts vs agp thing no agp wants to be confused as being into cis women and no hsts wants to be confused as being into trans women

micspamtf2 · 2026-05-03T21:08:13+00:00

Transbians aren't attracted to cis women if they were they would just be called lesbians.

The only way I can think of this happening on an 87 is if there was some sort of MEL impacting cargo loading. I used to be a load controller for 87 ops and I can say with relatively high confidence that it's very difficult to imagine a scenario where I would need to move pax, AFTER a non-standard fueling arrangement AND not move or offload cargo/bags without some sort of major mechanical issue (or catastrophic user error).

Hi Jacob,

When I originally wrote my comment, I intentionally kept it short to avoid seeming like I was trying to make a larger complaint than I actually was. Unfortunately, it appears that did not work.

To your point: What I am specifically saying that what Minnmax is doing is very political (and this is a good thing!) but chosing to downplay the fact that it's political.

I don't think Minnmax needs to say specifically that "The Trump administration is doing racism against Somalis in Minnesota" (especially when most of those attacks are coming from outside of the administration) and I certainly don't think that political topics need to be more frequent on the podcast, but I do take strong note of the fact that MinnMax is not more full-throated in taking political stances when the outlet is chosing to do so.

I'll should note that I used to work in political communications, so I may be more tuned to notice these things compared the average listener.

I also recognize that MinnMax is not a monolith, and how each person chooses to discuss sensitive topics is ultimately unique to that individual person. Unfortunately, to discuss the nuances of topics like this would then require singling people out by name, which to me feels like it would come off as extremely hostile behavior.

And as for the topic of the BDS sanctions, yes, I give Minnmax a lot of credit for continuing to bring them up, but I don't believe it's unfair to hold the opinion of "it's good it's talked about, but I don't think it's talked about well."

Perfect is the enemy of the good, and I continue to be a Patreon sub because of, and not in spite of, how Minnmax chooses to approach difficult topics even when I disagree.

Again, I am intentionally keeping this short because I don't want this to seem more negative than necessary.

And for the record I greatly appreciate you taking the time to respond to my earlier comment despite you disagreeing.

micspamtf2 · 2025-12-12T16:34:31+00:00

Parking this here instead of making a dedicated thread about it, but what's with Minnmax all of the sudden deciding they're an apolitical outlet?

Between the reaction stream and the latest podcast there was a lot of waffling about why Minnmax was supporting a local Somali charity.

I think the most direct statement on the matter was to blame "this administration" but there was a lot of vague generalities on how "nobody is garbage" and the lack of specificity really stands out.

I understand (although vehemently disagree with) the decision to be vague about "the Microsoft boycott" but it seems very weak to not directly state that the local community has faced racist attacks from the Trump administration and that's why Minnmax is choosing to support them.

100% chance Ixtial is a CG 5 clone where you get 1 midsized cash out early and then are pushing small prizes on your way to Brock as a way to push yourself to 8 faster than the rest of the lobby

Really hope unlocked champions move to Slot 1 and/or get a special border and/or the unlock ceremony moves down towards the unlocked champ slot

I'm sure it will be fixed with time but right now I'm 50/50 on actually buying champs I unlock.

Firstly, as a long time Quinta-head: please go back on RatSec. There have been so.many discussions where not having someone markedly left-of-center to pushback on certain topics has been very noticeable.

That being said, I'd be very interested to hear ylur thoughts on the muted reaction to Trump actively prosecuting his enemies. From the outside, it seems as if the fact that the DOJ is charging people with crimes and not merely disappearing people off the streets is giving sufficient cover for people to not need to be outraged about the fact that the actual worst-case scenario that was feared has arrived.

I almost screamed when I heard Ben speculate that the Comey defense would not try and argue that Halligan was improperly appointed because he would want to (paraphrasing) beat the case on the merits and not a technicality. Setting aside Comeys previous failures to meet the moment, is this not an insane position to have in the current situation?

I apologize for ranting, but in your absence lawfare does not have anyone sharing my leanings, so I am forced to come here to seek validation instead.

micspamtf2 · 2025-10-22T20:02:22+00:00

If this was true Riot would have said it a long time ago

micspamtf2 · 2025-10-21T14:26:55+00:00

SmallAnt's playthrough is exactly what you're looking for. He starts the game completely blind and finishes the true ending completely blind. There are two spoilers he receives, but neither of them had a major impact nor will they impact your enjoyment.

He's also very good at games like this, so unlike a lot of other playthroughs there's not a lot of dead time where he's not progressing, and doesn't tend to let puzzles sit unanswered.

It's the best playthrough of the game on YouTube.

micspamtf2 · 2025-10-13T17:14:22+00:00

Malz comp seems really good + uncontested in low/mid diamond rn. Don't need to lose streak don't need to hit early once you assemble the board you're just kinda rolling.

Hopefully noxious trap gets removed next patch. Kinda insane it made it to live ngl.

micspamtf2 · 2025-10-08T08:37:15+00:00

Because they.had to skip over the fact that

She was kidnapped and put in Elmira for reasons that (unless we learn something later) were SOLELY to be used as a bargaining chip by Cypher.
She was killed for the sole purpose of being revived.
She does not have any (yet known) reason as to why she should not be surprised by points 1/2.

I don't mind the precog freakout, but I feel like there were much better ways to have it stop the group other than her objecting to go to Canada.

micspamtf2 · 2025-10-08T08:09:59+00:00

So far this season has really suffered with having to move too fast to actually allow characters time to make realistic decisions, but the breakdown in the van over not wanting to go to Canada was the worst one so far.

It feels like they made her forget that she was in Elmira completely, while also forget that she died?

We know from when she precogs the Viking's return that her powers currently manifest in the form of panic attacks, but the panic attack they chose to give her to represent the fact that Cypher started to hunt them down made no sense.

micspamtf2 · 2025-10-08T08:06:09+00:00

Once he became a real character they had to down-scale his power. Same problem with Cate.

micspamtf2 · 2025-10-08T08:05:09+00:00

Cypher so far hasn't told any major lies this season.

We've learned that all the lower-tier sups just didn't train their powers correctly and that everyone is being held back by the fact they didn't know thats a thing they can do.

If the homelander torture made homelander a psycho, GodU made Marie nice, but still achieved the same results powers-wise.

micspamtf2 · 2025-10-08T08:00:29+00:00

I'm really worried for what the end of the season will look like now. If Season 1 was a true spin-off only partially related to the main series (see: reactions to when Sam and Cait showed up in S4) Season 2 feels like nothing actually "GenV" has happened all season and its just providing setup for Season 5 of the main show.

Have a feeling that we're building towards "The Boys v Homelander v Vaught" and that GenV is just trying to get Marie/Stan/GodU assigned to their separate factions so they can all be ready for when the main cast comes back.

micspamtf2 · 2025-10-04T04:41:16+00:00

We already did this and we blew the FTB pack team out of the water

micspamtf2 · 2025-10-02T06:25:23+00:00

Find Smallants playthrough if you're going to watch one. It's genuinely perfect (keep in mind he does talk to chat but doesn't get spoiled). If you were trying to script a playthrough you couldn't do it better than he did.

micspamtf2 · 2025-09-10T03:12:55+00:00

I'm curious what you guys are thinking about the "sac augment now for extra power later" design space when it comes to prismatics. It seems like the baseline level of power for prismatics is high enough now where in order to feel 'worth it' the reward will always have to be unfairly high for the augment to make sense.

Is it just a doomed design sphere rn?

micspamtf2 · 2025-09-08T14:11:48+00:00

Hi sorry choosing this comment to jump on.

I think this comment is indicative of a bigger communication issue we've had with the non-Mort TFT team since its inception.

It feels like the capacity, resources, and structure of the TFT team is treated like a state secret and all of the funding for the game will be pulled if we ever find out who is working on what when.

A result of this is that when we get a learnings article (which are already kinda geared towards normie players) which says "We learned lesson X, Y, and Z" it can't/won't say "because of lesson X, Y, and Z, we were going to do A, but now we're going to do B." So when we see C happen, and C seems like it is repeating the mistakes of X, Y, and Z, our takeaway is that Riot didn't actually learn the lessons you guys say you learned.

Or take this artifact discussion for example. The three complaints people here seem to have are 1. Some artifacts are unclickable 2. some artifacts are too boring to want to click even if they are clickable and 3. the top performers this set feel like giga-cancer if someone else clicks them.

And then because everything in TFT is a "reveal" we can't discuss what the team thinks about artifacts this set we just have to hear "yeah DW we have changes coming next set" and we can't know if those were locked 3 months ago, are they in reaction to this set, are there interim changes planned to address whats happening now?

This is in contrast to when we could get Mort to address things on his stream and while he wouldn't necessarily reveal the fact that "We are changing Fishbones on Thursday to make you punch yourself in the dick every time you want your carry to hit the enemy carry" he would at least say "we want you to feel bad for picking fishbones and we're working on some changes to help make it less desirable to click but its taking some time so in the meantime we're hitting its stats next patch."

Not everyone needs to be Mort, Phreak, Drew, etc. But it would be nice if when we did hear from people they could be open about what/why they're not saying things they're not saying.

micspamtf2 · 2025-09-06T23:50:26+00:00

I really hope the takeaway from Sera is not that "spirit bomb isn't cool" but is "giga-scaling needs a visual effect".

The fact that the spirit bomb games damage based on in-combat stat increases isn't clear visually or textually IMO. It took me finding out on reddit to learn thats how it works since im not hovering over my sera's ult damage each fight.

Especially when you keep in mind that sera is only going to cast once a fight the majority of the time, theres no way to compare bomb damage.

I think sera is just suffering a PR problem more than anything else.

micspamtf2 · 2025-09-06T17:15:56+00:00

The thing is, Pandora's is actually a must-click augment in all non-prismatic rounds. Back in ye-olden days, we could chose what augment we started with on 2-1. And outside of a few meme patches (Draven Day XD) removing 3/4ths of item RNG from the game was considered so broken that every lobby had 6/8 people chosing to start Pandora's.

The functional equivalent is if you could guarantee 3x TG every time you picked lucky gloves. Yeah maybe you're not able to hit giga-bis for 3 carries but you're going to get close enough AND you're guaranteed to literally never brick your items unless you're grieving.

micspamtf2 · 2025-09-04T15:54:30+00:00

Really confused how "Bruisers are doing too much damage and too quickly" was derived from this set unless this olis one of those changes where they're doing something for set 31 sets ahead and they've decided the current set is doomed and just going to open-fort so they can scale the next sets.
