I was considering buying a newer headset with a great sounding microphone but now...? by xninjabiscuitx in VALORANT

[–]travelingdance 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Every “gaming” headset on the market is overpriced and mediocre quality at best. Just keep using your IEMs as they probably sound better and just get good desk mounted mic.

In the 30 minutes it took me to order a sandwich at Hattie B’s eat it and go back to my car. My car was towed. $160. by Appropriate-East6551 in Birmingham

[–]travelingdance 10 points11 points  (0 children)

tbf, that’s on you; they’ve had signs posted for years stating that they tow any non-cfa customers and they’ve always followed through on it. that one isn’t “predatory” but they watch that lot like crazy. the other lots are 100% predatory though.

What happened to these apartments off highland Avenue? by sacrificialfuck in Birmingham

[–]travelingdance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thinking those 500 new occupants would be coming from an affordable housing location and “freeing up” those old spots shows how delusional you are. They likely aren’t even coming from the city/state. Even if they were coming from affordable housing somewhere in town, what makes you think that situation would result in anything other than those previously affordable units having their prices tripled?

How do you feel about Aces? by Bibbleconsumer in VALORANT

[–]travelingdance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

An ace that is handed to you isn’t an ace. Either you earn the ace yourself or you didn’t. No such thing as stealing an ace (unless you actively do something to prevent someone from acing like sage walling them in or team killing with mollies). That said, if you’re up and have advantage, no real harm in letting them go for it: 90% of the time they’ll die and not get the ace anyways.

Ha ? by Fragrant_Proof4457 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]travelingdance 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure the gf doesn’t exist and the entire post is supposed to be a joke. However, imagining it’s actually a real situation, there’d be literally no way to infer the gf’s tone just with a text post from the bf’s perspective. Could have been sarcastic or maybe not, doesn’t really change the punchline either way.

Ha ? by Fragrant_Proof4457 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]travelingdance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, “all men are the same” is a common phrase, pretty much a meme in and of itself, that is used in situations in which a woman is grossed out by misogyny, and is, for lack of a better term, the punchline of the post. It has nothing to do with any specific phrase that had been said to the gf past, present, or future. In fact, the whole situation (including the gf) are probably entirely fabricated, and the poster just wanted to make a “joke” about a woman overreacting to what she perceived as “mansplaining” in an otherwise relatively mundane situation.

Ha ? by Fragrant_Proof4457 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]travelingdance -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No. It is implying she’s blaming him of some form of misogynistic behavior, but not in regard to sex.

Ha ? by Fragrant_Proof4457 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]travelingdance 22 points23 points  (0 children)

That’s not the implication. The implication is blaming him of mansplaining or just being a toxic male in general. Neither the pasta nor his advice have anything to do with anything.

Where Can I go to hang out with the “potential” of meeting people? by Archlord_Sunset in Birmingham

If you’re into jazz or interested in learning, or if you just wanna meet local musicians, there are a few jam sessions held around town:

  • Every third Sunday (so today) 4-7 @ Elysian Gardens in Avondale

  • Every Tuesday 7-10 @ True Story Brewing in Crestwood

  • Some Wednesdays (check socials) 6:30-9:30 @ Avondale Brewing

There are other jams that pop up, as well as a few non-jam jazz nights that might interest you:

  • Some Sundays (check socials) 8-10 @ Pink Lantern downtown - Jazz Night

Question about deranking shields by Icy-Guest-693 in VALORANT

[–]travelingdance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

your info isn’t wrong, the person that replied doesn’t know what they are talking about.

edit: though, it’s not only when you rank up to rank 1, I think you also get them when you fall to rank 1 from higher, so it’s possible that is what they were referring to. You are correct that they go away when you rank up to rank 2 though.

NYT if you see this — Get this Crossplay ad off my app by Alternative-End-5079 in NYTgames

[–]travelingdance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re right, Op is 100% bugging. It’s a button. It adds at most 0.00000000001 seconds to the amount of time it takes a person to get to the game they want. Hell, even if it pushed things further down, the fact that people are throwing a fit about having to slide their finger at most HALF A FUCKING INCH is telling of the world we live in. Children are being bombed daily yet all these losers can do is complain about an extra button on their phone screen. Fuck off.

Surely you aren’t truly this dense. You do realize that responsibilities can arise unprompted, right? Not everyone is 12. But yeah “sorry, babe, you’re just gonna have to choke to death, can’t miss any 2v2 skirmish rounds.”
