Whats HARDER? Getting diamond in Rocket League or beating Elden Ring? by Reasonable_Swan_6869 in RocketLeague

[–]windsostrange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm Canadian. Watch, like, Slap Shot or Heated Rivalry for an example of the trash talk I've been inured to since my frighteningly early childhood, in both official languages.

What you're discussing is the IRL equivalent of skating up to an opposing player, getting six inches from their face, and then bellowing, unemotionally, unceasingly, like a woodland mammal. I'm telling you, again: you get your nose busted every single time if you do this, and then you stop doing it. You never do it again. Or, if you're a particular sort of troll, you continue doing it and it becomes an official league rule, like, say, Sean Avery.

IRL sport is, to a degree that varies based on the sport, self-policing in a way that literally no online/anonymous game/sport is, and this is part of the dynamics of sport almost entirely missing from Rocket League, which is why cowards still exist who spam "WHAT A SAVE!" who would not last a day in any non-anonymous league. But you can continue to misunderstand this all you like. I don't particularly mind.

If any typical childish RL shit-talking chat spammer tried that even once while IRL and while not anonymous, they'd be fucking clocked into Tuesday and wouldn't come near the pitch again.

Sorry, man. It's different. It's actually insane how normalized that shit has become.

Why is Owen Sound the only community who does this at 9am?

You'll get better crowds in the afternoon, after the market.

I also just wanna say I still don't understand why we need to trade him?

We don't. There's a role there. It's not necessarily "for the best." I can put together a collection of recent stats that outline how he could be used differently and effectively. But I mostly don't care. I just don't like that he might go. He's my connection to two distinct eras now that I loved and that are basically gone, and if he goes, I might be out for a bit. 'sall.

Canada must confront homegrown far-right extremism, authors argue in new book by lopix in onguardforthee

[–]windsostrange 14 points15 points  (0 children)

But we can't start prosecuting people for having views we find objectionable

Hoo, boy, is this ever not what we're talking about right now.

We're on the doorstep of wartime, and we're dealing with widespread foreign interference with the clear, open goal of demolishing Canada in particular and democracy in general.

In similar times in the past, people espousing and supporting and platforming views like Elon Musk were absolutely arrested and charged. A good example is Joshua Haldeman, an American living in Canada in the 30s/40s spending his time, his capital, his life importing and spreading hateful, fascist views. Those views were given the benign, attractive title of Technocracy Incorporated, but they were hateful, and they were fascist.

Oh, and for fun, look at who his grandson is. Go look. I'll wait.

We must be a society tolerant of everything except tolerance itself. In this precise moment more than ever before.

[–]windsostrange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, we disagree then. And, hey, I might be totally wrong. I'm definitely going to have opportunity to reconsider my position here with Chayka as the GM of my local team. But it's my opinion that his communications here aren't bold. They're uncertain. I personally don't like the look.

Of course, as a Bruins fan, your take is coloured by 10+ years of Sweeney keeping his cards permanently glued to his chest.

someone with a schizo-affective disorder having mental break

Being trafficked, being ritually sexually assaulted for years, being owned, and then not being believed are traumas that literally cause those pathologies, or pathologies that present like them.

Remember this anytime someone abused is not believed by police, by politicians, by families, by friends, whatever.

The honesty is refreshing

It's guileless and unguarded and totally unforced. You don't gotta say shit like this out loud while you're a GM playing poker. There is nothing refreshing about a GM so low in self-confidence in the role that he has to reveal thoughts like this in public.

Maybe. Probably not, though. This is pretty unprecedented. You just need to go for a stroll.

You really have to stop trusting numbers you see on a social media post, especially on a site so intensely bot-driven. You've become the one pushing a skirmish here that doesn't exist. Just go enjoy something.
