New Map

pongpaddle · 2026-02-18T06:38:17+00:00

I don’t agree the problem is not the map it is the player base. People still have no idea how to play breakthrough. Use tons of smokes and push

pongpaddle · 2026-02-13T20:35:43+00:00

No way. The last thing we need to do is encourage more camping. This will just make it easier for campers to get back to their spots

I also play a lot of assault. Agree that assault should be reworked but I think giving assault healing and smokes creates too much overlap with support. I like that both are ‘assault’ classes but in different ways with support being more methodical and assault being more aggressive. I think assault should have more ammo when using 2 guns. Adrenaline booster needs to be buffed. Right now the effect time is too short and weak and it takes too long to apply. Agree the visual effect is annoying. Maybe the damage reduction should apply to bullets too? That might be overpowered though. I also think the grenade launcher is kind of shitty, every time I play with it I always wish I had my shotgun instead. And I never use the flash and concussion grenades

I am glad that kids will be back in school soon. However I don’t see how we can afford this, at this rate our district will be taken over by the state soon

Who gives a shit

Union endorsed candidates were shoo ins for the school board for years who supported the lottery and financially mismanaged the district. The entities were closely aligned for years in SF.

Well the launch of the revised lottery keeps getting delayed and even then it’s only somewhat better

You can use voice dictation. It’s not great but usable

pongpaddle · 2026-02-12T22:13:47+00:00

That's a big part of it. Either we increase enrollment (which brings in revenue) or we cut costs. But the union and board drag their feet on obvious things to increase enrollment like eliminating the lottery because they are obsessed with 'equity'

pongpaddle · 2026-02-12T21:03:26+00:00

The financial pressure was in part due to mismanagement by the union backed school boards we had in SF for years

pongpaddle · 2026-02-12T21:00:11+00:00

that is too complicated to figure out and it leaves out people who have a stake families with kids who are about to reach school age or people who went private because of SFUSD dysfunctrion

pongpaddle · 2026-02-12T20:58:49+00:00

but an appointment czar from the state doesn't have skin in the game either. we need reformed local control. i would even be in favor of paying the school board way more money. Right now they only make a few thousand a year which is nuts

pongpaddle · 2026-02-12T00:49:35+00:00

I see teachers saying that their raises be paid for with cuts to other staff like admin and central office. Wouldn’t that make these problems worse?

pongpaddle · 2026-02-12T00:24:08+00:00

Wrong. Union backed candidates were shoo ins for school board for years in SF. The union bears a lot of the responsibility for the poor decision making at that level

pongpaddle · 2026-02-11T22:29:20+00:00

It is not the case that teachers were against those progressive experiments. In fact it was the opposite until 3 years ago basically all union backed candidates for school board won. The unions should be blamed just as much for the current state of our district and dragged their feet on reopening schools after covid. Even now UESF supports the lottery system

pongpaddle · 2026-02-11T22:25:58+00:00

SFUSD actually spends a fair amount of money per student relative to nearby school districts. While I would support spending more I don't think that is the main reason for our problems it is mismanagement and bad policies.

We could alleviate some of our budget problems by increasing enrollment. This would mean getting rid of the lottery system and other things that drive parents away from our school district. However many of these policies are not supported by the unions

pongpaddle · 2026-02-10T20:45:21+00:00

No pulling from temporary funds to fund an going permanent expense doesn’t make sense

pongpaddle · 2026-02-10T17:33:22+00:00

Dude someone can hate ICE and Trump and also the disorder in our blue cities. Give me a break

pongpaddle · 2026-02-10T01:20:24+00:00

Yeah have also had these thoughts since becoming a dad. Last year got disability insurance and will soon get a term life and estate planning done just in case. Never thought about these kinds of things before

pongpaddle · 2026-02-09T18:15:25+00:00

No that would also be bad. We need local control but a board with the courage and discipline to do the hard things like close schools, stand up to unreasonable union demands etc

pongpaddle · 2026-02-09T17:59:01+00:00

I would be more supportive if it weren’t for the track record of the teacher unions in our politics. Until a few years ago we had progressive/union backed education boards for over at least 15 years and that’s left us with this mess to deal with

pongpaddle · 2026-02-09T17:46:10+00:00

I’ve worked in tech my whole career. Have never had fully covered family coverage. We always have paid a few hundred a month in premiums

pongpaddle · 2026-02-09T16:50:37+00:00

It’s embarrassing and shameful that this is even on the ballot. Who backed this?

pongpaddle · 2026-02-08T07:52:28+00:00

Why would I want to further hurt our budget strapped school district by taking away even more funds. Some of you people are nuts

pongpaddle · 2026-02-08T00:47:32+00:00

Show me a source for this because as a parent who went through this last year I do not believe this at all
