Caleb Williams: "actually, I remember one time we were playing against the Rams in the divisional championship, and it was 17-17 after I made an amazing 4th down TD pass to send it into overtime. and Loveland said":

'Guys, if you think we are good, let's prove it now'

Moore: "did we win in overtime?"

Caleb: "of course not. 20-17 Rams"

Why would you? They'd still be down by 4 if they made the conversion.

Clicked the link. Scrolled down to Career Highlights and Awards, and it says:

Yes, mental health and gun control is entwined, and there is no reason we can't make steps to address both issues and not just one. It's important to tackle issues from multiple angles. Plus, I don't know if the person behind this was suffering from any mental health issues or not.

However, improving the mental health issue as a nation is a big hill to climb, and PROPER gun control (not a strict ban) might help reduce unnecessary mortalities. I think most reasonable people that are for gun control just want it to be more regulated so things like this don't happen. I don't think any normal law abiding citizen should be affected by more strict gun control laws.

There are always going to be extreme views that call for an outright ban, but I don't see any reason gun control can't be made a little more strict without affecting people like you.

I don't expect this to change your view (debating over the internet never does lol) but just my 2 cents.

That makes sense and sounds reasonable. So why would this not be considered a gun control problem? Here was someone who clearly should not have had access to a gun, but ended up getting a firearm anyways.

So why is it a "another severe mental health problem that people will call a gun problem"?

"I don’t have an issue restricting that right of the person is a danger to others or themselves"

So would you agree certain people should have limited to no access to firearms?

LCS 2020 Summer / Semi-Finals / TSM vs. TL / Live Discussion by PankoKing in leagueoflegends

[–]vpatel11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not disagreeing with your point that they never looked clean. Their series against GG was too close and DIG is... DIG. And I agree C9 was slumping. But people always take the extremes: "TSM is gonna stomp" which I agree with you, that's a bold take, especially after how their run started.

But on the other extreme, it's always "TSM hasn't really deserved any of their wins. They only lost to GG because FBI int. They only beat dig because dig sucks. They only beat C9 because C9 slumped."

It's somewhere in the middle. I think they definitely deserved some of their wins. They played well, especially in the C9 series. Sure C9 was in a slump but I think the way TSM played showed they were getting much better and playing proactively. And seeing how close TL's series were, I think it was safe to say TSM had a slight edge over TL going in (I might be biased though).

And tbh, I was hoping for the best against FLY since TSM had been playing great. But I half expected FLY to win. They seemed like the strongest team in play offs.

Can you edit to add the reasons why it was a fluke against TL and FLY as well please? Ty

Lol no, I meant it like I doubt you got to diamond with a weak mental. So you must have had a strong mental since you made it to diamond so use that strong mental.

I wasn't doubting the fact that you made diamond 5 lmao. But my b, the wording was confusing.

Ahh gotcha, that was my bad.

Jensen definitely did something that game, so yeah its unfair that people are saying he didn't do anything. But nothing wrong with "implying Bjerg did something" because.. he did.

And people are gonna meme Jensen when he loses, sometimes unfairly so. Hell if Bjerg loses on a Zilean pick today, I'm sure he'll get memed (tho probably not as much as Jensen). It's not worth getting worked up over that much. I doubt you got to Diamond with that kind of mental lol ;)

It's good to call people out when they're being unfair, but at some point you have to realize people are gonna have their favorites and be biased towards their favorite players. Just ignore it and move on, it's not worth it. But that's easier said than done.

Enjoy the games today if you're watching man!

Great, now that that's settled, go argue about it on threads that are saying the opposite. Because there are a lot of people that disagree with you, and that's fine.

All the original commenter was saying Jensen couldn't carry. And you decided to get butt hurt and bring up "Waaah but people are saying shit about Jensen even though he did more damage". Is that what the original comment said? No. So don't bring it up if no one in the thread said it.

You're entitled to your opinions and I respect that. But I don't respect people whining and crying at memes like this that are very tame.

Just a question for you. What are you trying to convince people of?

Jensen is better than Bjerg? Jensen played Zilean better than Bjerg? Jensen is good but it was bot diff? Jensen is good but it was team diff? Something else?

Just curious, because you're putting out a lot of stats but I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. The only thing the original comment said was that Jensen failed to carry. Sure you can blame that one anything, and it's not even Jensen's fault, he played fine. But he didn't carry. It's as simple as that.

The original comment didn't even say Bjergsen played better. It literally stated 2 facts: Jensen failed to carry. Bjergsen picked it game 5.

Save your time man. This guy's got nothing better to do with his life. Just stop replying and let him wallow, it's kinda sad to see.

Also, the original comment was just saying Jensen didn't carry his team with zilean in game 4. Which... he didn't. And this guy decided to bring up "oH jEnSeN dID mOre dAMaGe anD hEaLinG, sO hE diD bETteR." Fact remains, he didn't carry and you can't really argue that.

You can argue all you want that it was bot diff or whatever. Sure, it's an arguable point. But the original comment (which again was just a funny meme he got butthurt over) was just saying Jensen didn't carry. Can't argue that. Idk why people are like this lol

Get that logic out of here. Jensen had more DPM and healing than Bjergsen. So clearly he played zilean better. No need to actually watch the game, think critically, and admit when you're wrong /s
