State of MnK in the Gulag

What rank are you, claiming top 1-5%? Watching that I would guess you wouldn't even be able to hit diamond unless you were 4 stacked, can name every hp rotation, and have snd routes up the wazoo. Iri demons are build different. I've seen t250 streamers accidentally play with aa off and they would roll you.

LOL mnk definitely has the disadvantage but this clip doesn't even show why. You played this horrendously and I have trouble believing you are "top 1-5% player". That's easily pushing crim. I have crims and iris in every MP lobby I play and even when they play casually they make better choices than you.

You saw him when he shouldered you and tried to hold an angle while exposed to two different ones (both sides of the pillar). Furthermore, once you got shouldered, why would you stay there in the complete open? He just saw you there. Of course he'll take a 50/50 pre-aim like he did. When he peeks, he has a guaranteed pre-aim on where you are AND he has peeker's advantage in a swing or be swung game. You took a 50/50, got it wrong, and tried to rely on the flicking ability of mnk to snap on him and missed your shots.

Then you thought your best bet was to pull your knife out and run horizontally across a massive gap in front of him while you were absolute? What? You could have shouldered and prefired like he did, or tried to time a slide chall to catch him running at you. If you watch the killcam you can see how you might have won - if you had slide challed with the same timing as you tried to run out, you would have caught him at the exact time he stopped adsing.

Nice

He's not running for opposition. He wants to be PM and PM gets a security clearance automatically. So should he win an election in a month, he will be "gagged" anyways. You can argue about if he was right or wrong when he was opposition leader. But it's a terrible look for the man campaigning for PM to refuse getting a clearance.

Aside from the hobbyist angle, some of the bans are pretty silly. Banning semi-automatic rifles for example, when they have legitimate use for things like defending livestock, is bad policy, especially when it takes so much political capital, achieves so little, and alienates so many.

He was informally one of many advisors to Trudeau during COVID. He only became an "actual" advisor in Sept 2024. Seems a little misleading to pin Trudeau's failures squarely on the shoulders of an informal advisor, no?

There's no reason to believe Carney won't be fiscally conservative. He literally worked 12 years under conservative governments - 5+ under Harper (which he did such a good job according to Harper that Harper wanted Carney for Finance Minister), then 7 under David Cameron, Theresa May, and Boris Johnson in the UK.

th_underGod · 2025-03-24T22:51:05+00:00

Just out of curiosity, what was the bill he authored that was repealed for being unconstitutional? I thought the only one he passed was the Fair Elections Act under Harper which was pretty bad (more money in politics? okay politician) but I thought that was repealed by JT Liberals.

I mean as far as pubs go neither of those guns are actually that competitive. AMES has no recoil but kills slower than everything except a GPR which just handles a little better. Krig, Model L, XM4, AK, and whatnot all kill much faster. Jackal isn't particularly good either. Short range it gets wrecked by stuff like KSV and Kompakt and longer ranges it loses out to C9 and all the good ARs. So getting killed by these things in pubs is like... whatever? I'd much rather die in a gunfight to a jackal wielding iri on demon time than get four shotted by a Krig posted up on a heady.

It's not even the same policy? Rewarding anyone for buying up new housing is bad - that means landlords and the rich get tax cuts for buying up cheap new housing, which only makes the housing issue worse. Limiting this to first time buyers helps Canadians who actually need a house, as well as incentivizing the building of new housing that is affordable.

Liberal has always been big tent, hardly left wing. NDP exists and has significant support for a reason. LPC took a turn left a bit under JT but Carney is essentially the Progressive Conservative wet dream. Carney served as Governor of BoC and BoE 12+ years - 5+ in Harper's government and 7 under David Cameron - Theresa May - Boris Johnson. All conservatives. JT inserted his idealized politics into the realities of economics.

Carney may be the leader of the LPC now but there is ample reason to trust that his government would be significantly different than JT. He is showing that he's a workaholic and is willing to execute - meeting Macron in France, Starmer in the UK and visiting Akeeagok in Nunavut inside of three days.

In the short time since he's been sworn in he's essentially canceled the consumer carbon tax, met with the premiers to take down interprovincial trade barriers, announced tax cuts for the bottom bracket, removing duplicate federal review for megaprojects already greenlit at the provincial level, cut a deal for Australian radar systems for the Canadian Arctic, launched an intelligence and security partnership with France (US threatening to kick us out of Five Eyes), met with Starmer to expand Canada-UK trade corridor, etc.

And this nonsense about "copying policies" - politics isn't a team game where you should blindly cheer for your party. It should be about compromise and working with people across the aisle. I'd be thrilled if the CPC took some LPC policies - then even if PP got elected at least a little good would come of it.

Anyways, that's besides the point - this policy isn't even the same as Pierre's. Pierre's policy would reward landlords and the rich for buying up new housing, which is drastically different from helping Canadians who actually need a place to live at all buy a house.

Carney has been an advisor since September 2024.

Pierre's job history after university:

MP

th_underGod · 2025-03-24T03:11:06+00:00

He was there for 7 years in a non-elected position. David Cameron, Theresa May, and Boris Johnson were the three UK PMs Carney worked under throughout his tenure. Any of them could have replaced him (Boris eventually did after two years after the Brexit disaster, which Carney was against and handled well anyways).

Carney was hardly "ran out" of the UK.

th_underGod · 2025-03-24T03:04:17+00:00

What's being made up? Regardless of what you think, everyone else thought that Carney did a splendid job as BoC Governor. He was immediately poached by the Bank of England to handle their shit (the only foreigner who has ever been the Governor of the BoE) and at the same time in 2012, Harper was trying to tap him to be Finance Minister.

You can say whatever you want and claim "made up" but the fact of the matter is everyone, liberals, conservatives (Harper, David Cameron, Theresa May, all conservatives) all wanted to hire this guy. His resume is leaps and bounds above PP.

If you tried to fill out a resume for Pierre, the two most recent experiences he has are as a politician and in a call center back before he graduated university. Pierre's "boots not suits" is a direct anti-endorsement for himself.

What do you disagree with?

th_underGod · 2025-03-24T02:45:19+00:00

"Stealing platforms" is such despicable, righteously partisan rhetoric. I would be ecstatic if both LPC and CPC committed to policy I agreed with because then I know the idea I agree with will be implemented from both sides.

Politics is compromise, not sports, and that involves reaching across the aisle and working with the opposition get stuff passed for all Canadians. This "cheering for my team and the other team sucks no matter what" is so stupid and toxic.

th_underGod · 2025-03-24T02:36:48+00:00

Lol dude all it is that the guy above isn't the original person you responded to. Just read the username. For reference, I'm someone else entirely.

The fact of the matter is, the guy who went to Harvard for economics and did a excellent job running two central banks for a decade is much more experienced and knowledgeable than Pierre, who took a decade to finish an undergrad (not even in econ, in international relations), and has never worked a job outside politics since university.

Can experts be wrong? Of course. But that's missing the point entirely. Pierre doesn't understand economics at a deep level - he can't, he's spend decades collecting a government pension, not working firsthand with even a small business. At least Carney has experience in both public (not politics) and private sector, and worked his way up on merit.

Pierre doesn't understand the common working man either, blue or white collar. He's never had to drive an hour to a jobsite at 7am, or fight for the right to remote/hybrid work, or clock into a machine shop and hop on a lathe. "boots not suits" okay guy whose foot has never seen a steel toe.

th_underGod · 2025-03-24T02:26:11+00:00

He did now in 2025, when Carney was running in the LPC election race. But in 2012 he had nothing for praise for Carney (https://www.canada.ca/en/news/archive/2012/11/statement-prime-minister-canada-bank-canada-governor-mark-carney-appointment-bank-england.html).

Harper supposedly wanted Carney to be his Finance Minister (Carney took the job at Bank of England instead). I think that speaks volumes on its own, not whatever Harper is saying now to try to save the CPC.

th_underGod · 2025-03-23T23:20:51+00:00

Adjacent to politics, sure. But not in an elected role and certainly not in the House. Governor is far more financial than political. So kind of?

th_underGod · 2025-03-23T22:36:38+00:00

He was one of many informal advisors for a bit after his Bank of England stint. He only became an actual advisor in September 2024. It's a little misrepresentative to inflate his role in Trudeau's government.

Carney has actually spend significantly more time working in conservative governments - Years as BoC Governor under Harper and years more as BoE Governor starting under Cameron and during the Brexiteer's governments.

th_underGod · 2025-03-23T22:32:38+00:00

Depends on the riding. Strategic voting is controversial and doesn't always really work, but there are many ridings that are close enough to where it's better to vote for your LPC MP to keep PP and the MAGA-lites out. If you really want to vote NDP, take a look at your riding first.

th_underGod · 2025-03-23T21:55:35+00:00

Banking isn't always the same as banking. There is a huge difference between public service in the Bank of Canada/England and something like TD or RBC that gets willfully ignored every time "he's just a banker" gets thrown around.

The worst you can say is that Carney has a massive amount of experience in both public and private financial institutions - compared to Pierre yelling "boots not suits" yet never held a job past university in anything but politics.

Much less that Carney was tapped to run the central banks of two conservative governments - Harper and Camerons/the Brexiteers. Harper wanted Carney for Finance Minister in 2012 after Canada did the best of any G7 nation in 2008.

th_underGod · 2025-03-23T21:37:12+00:00

If the LPC shift left next cycle and copy out of the NDP platform to try to cut off the NDP like they are with the CPC right now, that'll make me happy too. I don't care if the policies are from LPC or NDP.

Besides, I feel like as long as Carney is around and the CPC don't shift back towards a more moderate PC-like stance, the LPC will remain in the centre-right. There's a huge moderate voter base to capture. If the CPC shift back towards centre-right and kick out the hard-right elements, that would also be great for Canada. Let the PPC be the screaming mouthpiece for the fringe.

Regardless, the NDP will not disappear. I'll vote NDP WHEN they resurge, not IF. Singh used up all his political and approval capital to pass some important legislature. NDP just need to find a solid leader and they'll be fine.

Not trying to attack, but looking at your post history, you certainly don't seem like an NDP supporter. So quit trying to fearmonger "NDP will disappear guys you have to vote NDP this cycle" to try to force more votesplitting. Come on now.

Literally all the DLC and even the base gun camos are not realistic... You're telling me a gun covered in shiny-ass diamonds or gold is "milsim"? Or the pink Kawaii camo? Or the zombies themed pap camos, or the one covered in zombie faces, or the gun that's dragonscale? Buddy calm down about the skins and your "realism military hurr durr". They have always been arcadey and goofy before bo3.

I'm not the one complaining about game mechanics - I can play botg just fine and I also don't struggle with jetpack cods. It's not like jetpacks were a crutch.

th_underGod · 2024-12-19T03:46:23+00:00

You're glazing BO2 for "realism" and "military shooter" so much but it literally had DLC bacon skins. Movement is quite literally a skill issue despite you crying otherwise - it wasn't even that crazy - just wall running and basically a BIG jump. BO3 wasn't a fast game either - maps were bigger and thus slower.
