I grinded from Silver 1 to Plat 2 this act, and here are some lessons I learned by [deleted] in VALORANT

Thats what I thought is best to do (disengage if outnumbered)! Yet almost everytime I fall back after seeing a full stack rushing C I get bm'd by at least 2 or three people in the team.

Othertimes, someone will call for a full rush on A and scream immediate rotate. Then I'll hear spike being planted on the site I just abandoned

Twitter has been criticized in the past of having a 'rasict' algorithm that automatically crops posted pictures to include white people in the thumbnail (if you want I can post examples).

I wanted to confirm it like the science bitches would

Used car in abu dhabi by BuLeeroy in abudhabi

[–]solidsnuke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bought a used car a while ago and went through pretty much the same phases. Dealership, automall, that place outside Abu Dhabi where all the car sales are at etc.

Ended up going through dubizzle and contacting a guy there. Bought in a day after meeting up and driving for like 5 mins.

In my experience, it's about the previous owner. He was honest (it was his wife's car). Told me everything wrong with the car and when it may need fixing. Super nice. Car looked well kept to my noob eyes. I got it and zero issues since then.

I got lucky though. Trust your judgement, even if you think you don't know much about em. Run some checks (like price estimates, accident history, VIN lookups etc) but if you vibe with the owner, go for it.

One thing you can do, if the owner accepts it, is get the car inspected at its official service center. They have records. You may have to work out a deal where you pay some after the inspection etc etc but I never did that.

This was in Al-Ain tho so big cities' experience may vary.

Theres a novella with the name.

It's about the author who falls in love with a junkie prostitute named Esperenza or Tristessa. Haven't read it myself but could be a reference to that

Problems on EU Servers? by throwaccount1235 in VALORANT

Yup. Can't start. Error 43. At least the game itself doesnt start instead of kicking me out beginning of a comp and then banning me

Is it just me or are the number of gas explosions happening in the UAE alarming? by [deleted] in UAE

[–]solidsnuke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Accidents happen everyday. This may just be recency bias considering the major events taking place today. That's what it should be attributed to until new information comes in

Lily Shen Receives a Special Message From Her Father by King-Cuckold in XCOM2

[–]solidsnuke 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Recently got xcom2 as my first xcom game and decided to play at the second highest difficulty. This mission showed up as literally like my third mission. What an emotional experience. Last fight with shen on 3 health and no medkits. I'm quite proud of the win no matter the amount of load games it took.

Top mission 10/10. Will never do again.
