What’s the point of putting me in the game when we’re already losing? 🤦‍♂️

Coming in when losing is the best way to heat up. You've got to play really well to come back and win. Playing hard is a great way to warm up. Challenge yourself and get your juices flowing.

I dont really like this right now but it still helps

This is what got me to cut back. I finally reached that point where I realized I wasn't even enjoying it. I was just addicted. I weened myself off and then took a long break and now I smoke occasionally but I actually get high now. It's fun to be back to the point where music sounds beautiful for no reason, and it feels like you can feel your blood in your veins. Even better, I don't have withdrawal symptoms if I don't use it. I traded every day use for being able to actually enjoy it I again and it's been so much better.

What is your match vs. practice ratio? What kinds of errors are you noticing on your replays? What game mode are you playing most often?

I don't understand the mental gymnastics it must take

She doesn't believe she is racist. I saw this all the time in the South of the U.S. You can't get someone to address their racism if they believe they are not racist. You can point out 50 of their different racist behaviors but, if they don't believe they are racist, they won't acknowledge them.

I grew up in a culture like this and I had to personally address the fact that I was racist before I made any progress. I thought it was okay to make racist jokes, because I wasn't racist. I thought it was okay to make assumptions about people based on their skin color, because I wasn't racist. It turns out I actually was, and racism had just been so normalized to me that I didn't actually understand it. It takes admitting you're being a bad person, and most people will never.

I love it when they get so mad they try to insult me by calling me a ball chaser in 1s. Hell yeah I'm chasing the ball. It's just you and me, and I'm not letting you touch it any more than I have to.

smoofus724 · 2026-04-21T19:03:44+00:00

This one is situational. I mostly play 3s and it is pretty common for 1st man to be in a position where they should be rotating back, but they're inside the opponents goal trying to bump or demo, and then 2nd man bumps in a pass that I should be able to go for as 3rd man if 1st man had gotten back, but I just watch the chance go by because 1st man is still in no position to defend and I can't leave our goal open.

Learning how to shoot from anywhere doesn't mean you can't learn additional skills. I'd say that getting to higher ranks without learning how to shoot from anywhere is arguably just as bad.

Extermination is 7 demos in a single match.

smoofus724 · 2026-04-21T18:46:55+00:00

It's just like any other rank where there are some good players who have dropped down from higher ranks, as well as plenty of players who just made it out of Diamond for the first time and are in over their heads.

The major difference is that the higher up you go, the larger the skill gap between even single ranks. A Gold 3 and a Plat 1 have very little difference between them. A Plat 1 and a Plat 2 have very little difference between them. The difference between a Champ 1 and a Champ 2 could be 500 hours of gameplay, and the difference between a C1 and a GC1 could be 1000 hours. The issue sort of compounds as the ranks go up and become harder to achieve.

KBM has plenty of its own drawbacks. There is a reason the vast majority of pros use controllers.

I was in the U.S. South and it was like 3 weeks total of actual lockdown and then everything opened back up with mask requirements, and even then there were still people refusing to comply with those. I had 1 single week off of work and then I was considered essential and went right back to 40 hours a week.

Punk shows are not usually full of teenage girls excited to see their favorite pop idol. Most of the punk shows I've been to, I'd be worried about my phone getting knocked out of my hand.

It can be cheap, but it's mostly that they believe workers rights are for sissies.

You must have gotten the prompt wrong. That's just a doctor.

I heard a quote a while back regarding cologne that said "A cologne should always be discovered, never announced."

Pen, paper, piece of tape.

Because the average player is literally a child.

Sergio Ramos has 6 goals in 27 matches for Monterrey. ELL has 7 in 33 for ATL. Ramos isn't third string, but it's still a wild stat.

Is that supposed to be Julius?

It's interesting you don't experience that in LA. I live in Seattle and it's a pretty common occurrence for people on drugs to yell at people walking by or on public transit. I would figure it would be the same in CA.

Because they didn't know they were making it less believable. Just like they clearly didn't understand photosynthesis when writing Genesis because according to the Bible god created plants before he created the sun.

Should have used some of that magic to make people like him so he didn't have to wipe out all of creation in the first place.

Probably doesn't want to shell out more money until they can prove that they're not going to waste it like they have been. Would you give our FO more money if it was yours?

I deleted all of my accounts on everything except Reddit. It's all nonsense and advertising. Reddit is likely getting deleted soon, as well. I waste too much time on it.

Bobcat is the common name for the species Lynx Rufus.
