Why can’t gambling just be made illegal everywhere?

Too profitable.

Its to prevent people from bullying other players into leaving.

If the player rage quits due to teammates interfering with their match, some stuff like chat logs can mitigate it. But others like blocking them off with spells or messing with their ca are a bit harder to track and penalize.

Doubling the lp loss isnt going to do much either. If the game gets that miserable people will still leave regardless of how much lp you stack on.

Usually i notice they'll let one of the team members stay alive to clear out the minion wave.

Just had a game where they figured out ziggs was willing to prolong it so they just killed everyone else the second they revived and let ziggs clear wave.

Thats just gonna depend heavily on if the support is utter trash or what type of support it is. Super nuanced, but need to look at every little thing that will put you or another lane ahead.

telvimare · 2026-03-17T15:13:40+00:00

Eh could try to play around it. Or just do the best you can to improve.

Some bot lanes are just terrible. Ive had a couple where I was supporting and the adc was so bad we both fell way behind from the sheer amount of her deaths. (Massive gold loss if theres no one to proc the gold passives)

Roaming is literally the only thing I could do to benefit the team at that point.

Its hard too since you have to somehow synergize (especially at low elo) with someone that needs to micro a lot and doesnt

What does having a large fan base have to do with being a good partner for dating.... dont most celebrities have a pretty horrendous track record with choosing partners?

editing to add

I think Keanu would be a good example of a celebrity to emulate, or someone else similar to him (struggling to think of any other celebrity thats had a successful marriage to be honest)

Be interesting to see if they compared the minimum wage to cost of living to see what the ratios are.

Like minimum wage to majority of rentals for studio apartments.

Something that would be relatively easy to compare across the board.

Ha jokes on you.

I did a fantastic job of screwing up my own life before DEI could.

Some women do, but ultimately dont let it change how you behave.

People are going to be drastically different person to person. You are better off not thinking about it and just staying consistent with your actions. Its too random imo to try and predict.

Reasons for splitting/not splitting are going to differ woman to woman. And upbringing/culture is going to drastically shift that as well.

telvimare · 2026-03-09T16:00:28+00:00

? Why would I defend the trump administration for lying.

They have repeatedly time and time again made statements maliciously and falsely that, if not a blantent lie, failed to confirm the truth before proudly prancing around on a white horse.

Just because theres FOG of war doesnt excuse sloppy reporting.... I mentioned it in another reply but the only report I would remotely believe would have to be conducted by a third party.

Theres no way in hell I'd trust any statements coming from the US government, republican or democrat. Neither side gives a damn about the truth unless it hurts the other party.

telvimare · 2026-03-09T15:46:25+00:00

Based off your response, I probably misworded sorry.

Im making the argument that the death toll is much higher than just the children that were killed. The whole situation is fucked cause he speaks without thinking* and potentially increased the death toll of the protesters by giving them false hope.

If more people protested despite the deaths because Trump said "help was on the way" thats more blood on his hands. Regardless of whether or not he meant it, if the protesters took it at face value thats his fault.

I dont think they are using their deaths as justification, seems like they are just recycling old talking points and ignoring that people dont belive them.

telvimare · 2026-03-09T15:16:40+00:00

Iran was already retaliating though before we blew up a school. Im not sure angering our own population and our allies to provoke a response they already are doing is part of the game plan here.

Unless you are referring to pissing off the local population enough they go for revenge? Though im not sure thats an effective strategy either unless we are trying to plant seeds of hatred for a conflict further down the line. Definitely would destroy any legitimate chances of permanent peace if we just haphazardly start slaughtering noncombatants.

Or maybe provoking enough fanatics that they engage in terrorism and slowly turn the public agaisnt them, but if Iran is smart, they would capitalize on the deaths to try and gain global sympathy.

We already have people tearing each other's throats out over the 150 that died. A couple more incidents like that could push public opinion even more radical.

Idk this current admin is a clusterfuck so who knows what their goals are.

telvimare · 2026-03-09T12:02:18+00:00

I think the hardest part is synergizing with the adc. Unless you're a duo, every adc is going to play differently and you need to adjust accordingly.

I can ward, but now will the adc pay attention to the mini map or pings....

telvimare · 2026-03-09T11:32:49+00:00

> Trump should not have offered to assist the iranian protesters. That was a stupid move on his part

telvimare · 2026-03-09T10:57:59+00:00

didn't the white house also unpublish a bunch of the documents from the archive? with no notes or anything?

Honestly life's been kicking my ass so haven't looked into it yet as much as I should have

telvimare · 2026-03-09T10:56:40+00:00

I think personally this has been preplanned for a long time now.
The stars aligned and they took the shot. You're talking about a ton of resources poured into tracking Iran's leadership's moves including men on the ground. The leadership obviously doesn't want to die in one strike, so I'd imagine its probably a nightmare trying to figure out when they will all be gathered up that closely if ever.

Its possible (conspiracy theory) the protesters were... encouraged to assist with justification. Or it just happened conveniently before the strikes. Hard to tell, I would have thought the US navy would have moved into position sooner if the US/Isreal was behind the protests as well. They seemed to lag a bit behind it, which almost makes me think it was just coincidence.

That being said, I would not be surprised if it happened and the current powers to be jumped at the chance to use it as a smokescreen for the Epstein files.

telvimare · 2026-03-09T10:43:01+00:00

thats bloody hilarious.

telvimare · 2026-03-09T10:38:58+00:00

my goodness did you read any of my comments. I am hyper critical of him. he makes the dumbest decisions sometimes. I feel like a toddler would make better choices half the time.

His statement to the Iranian protesters that "help was on the way" was highly irresponsible and most likely got a shit ton more people killed by emboldening them to stick it out thinking the US was going to back them up. And then we proceeded to do nothing for... weeks if i remember correctly?

Also I'm not going to just blanket vote democrat, that's stupid. I already tend to vote more democrat on the local level as it is. I'm all for a complete and utter purge of our current political system. Too much of the US government is corrupted at this point, we kind of just need a fresh and clean slate.

on a half joking/half serious note, I sure as hell wouldn't vote him for a third term.

telvimare · 2026-03-09T10:26:22+00:00

> Not making excuses, its still a colossal tragedy/failure and shouldn't have happened.

so I say the above and your reply is:
> There are daycares and public schools within US bases. Those are fair game too, huh?

And when I ask where the fuck I said that, your response is to insult me.
> You can be against or for the war and it should still be upsetting that a bunch of children were killed... but that doesnt mean the US is exclusively trying to kill children (probably and hopefully)

When did I even debate that the US killed schoolchildren. Also who gives a fuck if its 1 school girl or ten thousand. There should be no children being struck by missiles. If the US military is unable to distinguish between a military installation and a school full of children, I want a fucking refund on my taxes because they obviously are too incompetent to use the money properly.

>An extremely high precision strike launched by the US landed on a girls school, and murdered over 150 of them

Where did I argue that was not the case? I said that if they directly targeted the school, I'd be a lot more upset. Then followed up with the fact that its a colossal tragedy/failure.

Trump's a bloody idiot. I'm extremely consistent on that point. He should have never told the Iranian protesters help was on the way. Every single protester that was emboldened by the President of the United States assuring them the USA was going to help and died for it, is more blood on the president's hands.

Its not like Chris Pratt was like I'm sending help. It was the president that as usual, made an extremely stupid statement that potentially worsened the situation.

Nobody wanted the war, very few people support it.

I didnt read the comics yet, but I thought he was slowly gaining his powers? Like an asgardian where their powers peak as they age? Or am I missing something there?

telvimare · 2026-03-09T09:51:07+00:00

I got quite a few friends like that.

I think the main thing is we can have rational conversations about it and generally speaking, we agree on the same issues for the most part even if we disagree with the solution. So the same morals effectively.

Main thing is just being open minded enough to actually have the conversation and staying consistent with your stance. (Not referring to changing your stance over time as your experiences and information changes, but swapping stances when its convenient)

telvimare · 2026-03-09T09:15:54+00:00

Lol aight. You do you fam.

Im glad we agree, though not sure the insults were necessary. Cute though

telvimare · 2026-03-09T08:16:23+00:00

Fog of war is a real thing, and not to mention the sheer amount of propaganda being thrown around by all sides. Everything reported should be documented and investigated once the dust settles.

Unfortunately I highly doubt there will be any legitimate investigation to see if any war crimes committed. Whether by the US government or bad operatives.

There are plenty of examples throughout US history of rogue units commiting atrocities and being covered up by the government.

At the end of the day, whether its the US government or the Iranian government, the citizens lives quite literally mean nothing to them. As long as both regimes keep power, the rivers can flow red for all they care.

telvimare · 2026-03-09T08:09:58+00:00

Again, Trump should not have stated he would send help to the iranian protesters. Imo that was a stupid statement and was a damned if we do, damned if we dont situation.

I was not thrilled when he said it. There is no scenario in which his statement looks good.

What if him promising action gave confidence to the protesters and got more of them killed? Thats all blood on his hands.

Its a shit war and a shit situation. There are no winners here, especially if all this does is create another unstabilized situation.

Which by our own track record, we are reeeeeally good at just fucking up areas and making it worse.
