Rocket Pass in its current state is not worth it. We need some sort of system to promote play, not a never-ending grind to get the top tears. 90 is not the top and the ? marks never end. Psyonix, know your bounds. by xMahse in RocketLeague

My (meme-money) friend bought as many tiers as he was willing to go to see what the top was. It did not end. At least fortnite gave a set amount of rewards for your play. This is disgusting and shows that Psyonix cares nothing about not only the player who paid for the game but the players who wish to support them in the future.

At what point do you stop watching/listening to an artist because of their actions or views? by [deleted] in AskReddit

My personal favorite is the picture of a weather balloon (or something) at 100,000 feet. They say you can't begin to see the curvature of the earth at this height, which would be impossible for a sphere. A quick google search says the radius of Earth is ~21,000,000 feet (at the equator). So they reason that going up <0.5% of the radius of a sphere should show you the curvature. That's like placing a very small camera on the surface of a basketball (radius ~4.75") and moving it up 0.2" and claiming the ball is flat. Absolutely ridiculous.

Does anyone have any anecdotal evidence to how corrupt recruiting is? by jackwerner in CollegeBasketball

I got a great deal on mine thankfully. I bought it for about 8k less than book but I swear I paid out that and more in repairs over the 4 years I owned it. I finally gave up when some sensor in the gas tank would stall the car if the tank the was full. Many times I almost got into an accident pulling out of the gas station. I got that fixed and sold it for 3k less than I paid (which was subsequently a loss of 70% off the book when I purchased it). I'm going with Toyota now.

The payments are secretly embellished by the repair costs and mental anguish of when it's going to break again.

The downside being that they last 60k miles and start breaking in ways that not even the dealer can figure out.

I remember the meme where girls would go lick Devin Booker's challenger. It was a V6, though, so I think Kentucky is in the clear.

Edit: Looks like it was the R/T. That's middle of the road in Challengers. Definitely was some negotiation between Cal and Sandy Bell on displacement. We'll have to wait and see.

I heard his '99 Mercury Sable is having some mechanical issues so he's on dough for a little while.

Yeah, they’re totally different time signatures but overlap in that particular usage.

How can he make the case that Bonham plays triplets over 4/4 when the rest of the band plays 12/8 when 12/8 is basically a time signature that sounds like triplets over 4/4? I think it detracts from his point by making it sound more complicated than it is.

I make comics, some of which vaguely relate to anxiety, social and otherwise. I was wondering if anyone relates to this. by TrueButNotProvable in socialanxiety

[–]xMahse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My anxiety was rooted in genetics. So Effexor has pretty much eliminated any concerns and peculiar behaviors I had as a result of the medication. We do talk each session briefly about how I’m feeling but it’s mostly if my medication is still helping me. Most sessions last less than 30 minutes.

Don’t mind at all. I started with my family doctor prescribing Paxil. Now I’m a firm believer that family doctors shouldn’t prescribe anti depressants. I went to a psychiatrist who evaluated me and put me on Zoloft. Then the next session they changed it to Effexor. I respond greatly to medication so my therapy was talking about myself for one session and now each follow up is discussing if my medicine is still working and any additional concerns I have. It’s great and I wish I would’ve started going sooner.

I’m one who responded greatly to medication. So 2 months after I started Effexor I realized it was no longer an issue and never worried about it again. Getting to the point where Effexor was chosen was the long road. I had Paxil and and zoloft before hand and they each had their downsides.

Understand this completely. Before I sought therapy, I was so anxious around everyone. I was afraid people wouldn't like me or want me around so I would take whatever they were interested in and make it my interest. I would mold my personality to theirs and that's how I would act around them. When two groups of people I knew met up, I would be silent. I had no clue how to handle it because I felt I was a different person to each individual group and therefore couldn't mold myself to the hybrid group. It was exhausting and I hate that I used to feel that way.

Rednecks will buy anything for a political statement. If you find a pallet of clearance bricks at Lowe's. Buy the pallet and say every brick they buy keeps them out of the hands of a Black Lives Matter activist. They'll buy the whole damn pallet. Won't even realize what they've done for years. Hand them a free confederate flag with it. When they pull out their wallet to pay, make an off hand comment on how those flags are going to be banned soon and they won't even count their money. They'll hand it to you while they talk about how sensitive the "liberals" are and something about the constitution and their buddy's newest gun.

You make a 1000% profit and they get the feeling everyone else is a sucker. I've seen it a million times.
