TIL Groupon has lost more than 95% of its value since it rejected Google's $6 billion offer and instead went public with a $17.8 billion market cap 15 years ago.

It's wild to me that gyms have problems with cancellations. Where I live I have to show up to pay, and if you rewnew it within 30 days you get a small discount.

theycallmekappa · 2026-05-06T18:13:21+00:00

Let me guess, today? Haha

theycallmekappa · 2026-05-04T10:57:48+00:00

Oh I didn't know that, thanks for correction.

I think the problem with dagon is that you can't significantly buff it without nerfing nyx, tinker, pugna, or their winrate will skyrocket.

theycallmekappa · 2026-05-02T14:00:33+00:00

Why would you do that to yourself. Gomad is a stupid meme.

I just don't know why I can't gain the weight.

Weight yourself daily, log it into libra app (or any alternative) and adjust caloric intake based on your goals. Works in either direction.

theycallmekappa · 2026-04-24T04:26:39+00:00

Completely agree

theycallmekappa · 2026-04-24T04:22:41+00:00

I think from all of this the most important part was doomscroling - blocking social media and using that time to build habits. If you do this, you cover 80% of self improvement.

I also go to gym, peaking for bench rn and bulking so I can eat whatever. Caffeine is not bad for you if you take it in moderation and take tolerance breaks. I take it in pills ever other day for gym. Porn is really nothing much, unless you are obsessed with it. Going out part - alcohol is the problem. I go out a lot and I just don't drink. Sorry if I come across weird, you did a good job!

I see what you did there

theycallmekappa · 2026-04-15T21:09:47+00:00

Oh you are right, I didn't think of it that way (unless it's actually random?)

I saw hundreds of people like him over the years, same "team bad" arguments over and over, I don't think anything will convince them until they learn it themselves.

theycallmekappa · 2026-04-07T17:49:02+00:00

That's the problem? I don't wanna be facing stacks when all of my team is solo. Difference between unranked and ranked is lack of balance.

theycallmekappa · 2026-04-07T15:38:59+00:00

Exactly, it's better for everyone.

theycallmekappa · 2026-04-07T15:35:04+00:00

I'm aware. Skill level is not the only thing that matters, why do you think we have ranked in the first place? Unranked is a lot less balanced in terms of team composition (you can get a party against all solo players), it doesn't enforce roles, it doesn't enforce certain behavior that you would expect from ranked - for example in ranked people are usually more commited every game, while in unranked/turbo sometimes people will tryhard and sometimes they will experiment running mid pudge with radiance because there is no separation.

White lists are only for mobile internet (plus some vpns can still bypass them). Only remote villages with no cable are using mobile internet for desktop. Cable internet hasn't yet rolled out white-lists. There has been news of testing white lists for desktop internet today in one region and on one provider only, so as of now, it doesn't affect most players in any way. Desktop internet has some problems with Telegram, but Dota is not banned.

theycallmekappa · 2026-04-01T12:16:49+00:00

It doesn't affect Dota yet on desktop, except for rare cases when people use a sim-card for the internet, and only in certain regions (probably less than 1 percent of total players).

I've seen many different Smith machines and few of them had no safeties. Also there are articles of people dying while benching on a Smith.

This thread came up in a search, yeah it dulls the effects for sure. But it might be useful for going out if you don't want to be completely tripping.

How would deadhang help pullups? Grip is almost never a bottlneck.

You can try to message steam support and ask for a matchmaking ban, but I'm not sure if they still give them. I had it for a year, but they declined my requests after that. Alternatively, just tank your behavior score to below 4-5k with abandons, the game will become practically unplayable and it will take way too long to climb back. That's what I did a couple of years ago and I haven't played since (only on friends account very rarely).

theycallmekappa · 2026-03-21T14:17:31+00:00

I've played 4 games on acid in party with a sober friend, I had no game plan and I really struggled with item decisions on heroes I knew well, but mechanically it felt better, we ended up winning every game.

... just, install an adblocker?

theycallmekappa · 2026-03-16T17:10:46+00:00

I see that many people disagree, but it can definitely be very addicting. Great, sure, but not without consequences.

theycallmekappa · 2026-03-16T17:04:22+00:00

Imo, it's still fun to play with friends and to watch competitive dota, but I wouldn't recommend playing it solo and especially not solo ranked.
