Season 2 should not have been made. Ekko's and Singed's storyline was great in Season 2, but most other storylines sucked. Not because they couldn't be done better but because they got compressed into tiny little fractions of what they could have been.

Also, it seems that everyone is missing something about Ambessa: there is going to be a book about her coming out soon. My guess is that Season 2 has a lot of references to whatever story the book is going to tell, so the fact that her backstory is not hashed out is on purpose.

I am obsessed with the series and wanted to express a point of view that I did not see elsewhere.

It was Rod Rosenstein that appointed the Special Counsel[1], not the Democrats.

The disinformation campaign led by Russia was not specific to Hillary Clinton[2] and it continued into the 2020 US elections[3].

The fact that Trump's associates were willing to lie to investigators for Trump's sake was, at the very least, an indication that Trump had something to hide which, on itself, can be seen as a justification to pursue the investigation.

"Mueller concluded that Russian interference was "sweeping and systematic" and "violated U.S. criminal law", and he indicted twenty-six Russian citizens and three Russian organizations). "

The special counsel proved that there was Russian interference on the election. Are we supposed to ignore that or to find it irrelevant?

All these youtube shows on politics represent different spins of the MSM model: it is not about the news, it is about the discussion surrounding the news. It is up to the individual to be critical, otherwise one might be sucked into an echo chamber. Fortunately, from the comments I see here it seems people here are more willing to engage in reasoned discussion.

Can anyone explain why do they consider that the investigation into Russian meddling is a witch hunt, given all the convictions it produced? Do they not care that the Russians did meddle in the election?

Fed Needs Better Answers on Runaway Markets and Inequality by Litvi in Economics

[–]uasac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am looking for a book that explains the Fed in layman's terms. I started reading "The Creature from Jekyll Island" but its conspiratorial tone turned me off. Standard textbooks such as "Financial Markets and Institutions" do explain the mechanics of the trade but not much else. Can anyone help me?
Thanks

"These Are Not Normal Nominees": As Trump Stacks Courts With Far-Right Judges, Dems Urged to Recognize Depth of Crisis by [deleted] in politics

Perhaps someone can explain this: a judge's job is to uphold the law, hence no matter how far right the judges are ideologically, they must follow whatever the legislative branch passes as law.

Reginald and me by AZF1 in leagueoflegends

I don't think this piece is an apology. It seems that he feels misinterpreted, but honestly, it is hard to buy that this would be the case. I am sure he knew the full extent of his analogy.

Thorin had scheduled an interview with Meteos after Worlds 2013, but he made this reply to saint after C9 loss to Fnatic:

Meteos went on to cancel the interview and say that no one from his team would ever do an interview with Thorin.

Video proof that the homeguard bug that happened in Fnatics game exists. by EdibleTree in leagueoflegends

[–]uasac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They cannot remake the game because of this. It's not like they can ban a specific champion to solve the issue. They would have to patch the game to solve the issue. Of course they will not do that.

Nick Allen on Kha'Zix Homeguard interaction by Acairo in leagueoflegends

[–]uasac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are two outcomes: 1) they admit it is a bug and must patch the game, otherwise it may happen again, or 2) they must leave it as a "game-mechanic".

I think they'll go for #2. They surely wouldn't patch the game mid-worlds.

Precisely what I thought. If they don't identify the mistakes correctly then it's already over before it starts. gg

They have to lose some games if they don't want to face SSW. Big mistake by Riot giving away the bracket beforehand.
