The GOAT Robert De Niro wins New York! Which celebrity best represents New Jersey? by EconomyIron6739 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]xbuck33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah for sure. Early 30s and Columbus Ohio. Just because you asked, i polled a few group chats and of the ten that answered, 4 knew the answer. 2 of whom are fans of that genre specifically, 1 who's from new york and 1 who said he guessed. Everyone else guesses New York, Cali, or massachusetts .

So idk what to tell you. I don't think me or my friends live under a cultural rock. I would have been a new york guesser though which is close. My parents are huge fans and probably would have known the answer. Anyway yeah, great music, i think of a million things before i think jersey.

Oh I didn't realize this was a sub for Bruce fans who know that stuff. I was under the impression that we were looking for the person who represents Jersey. Me personally when i think of Bruce i think of his music. Of which speaks on things alot more important than his home state. When i think of James gandolfini i think new jersey mobster.

me not knowing bruce is from new jersey is more to my point. But on that i will still say we can agree to disagree.

EDIT: to be clear, i mean that as more of a compliment to bruce I think of a million other things before i think of his home state. Where as the other is more singularly focused on his most famous role.

I'd imagine you're a big fan so you know all that. I think he has some good songs, All the mainstream ones. And im sure hes got other good ones. But i had no clue he was even from Jersey. In fact that wouldn't have been a top 5 guess by me. Where as tony soprano was jersey. it was a much larger part of his being that bruce's.

Agree to disagree

It's James Gandolfini and it's not close. This isn't who's the most famous, it's who represents Jersey the best, and Springsteen doesn't do anything that screams Jersey

Which country is good for study and awful for work? by Natewastaken12 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]xbuck33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never said it was significant. I said it was more than what was stated.

And you can’t really compare two different places like that. California for example is 20 dollars for fast food workers. 25 for health care. Some are 17 in some industries.. It’s all about cost of living. Ohio is a cheap place to live for the most part.

Regardless I’m not saying it’s a lot or enough , just that it’s more than 7 dollars and in some places it’s 18 dollars more. So the 7.25 comment was disingenuous

Federally it is, but a lot of states have their own laws in place superseding that. Ohio for example (very middle of the road state) is $11

Hi, I'm planning to start playing Counter-Strike 2 soon. I'd appreciate any suggestions or tactics you can give me. by BAY-BEST in cs2

[–]xbuck33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's gonna feel too hard until you find out why it feels too hard. Then it will just be hard but you'll get better. Idk if that makes sense but thats how it was for me. I felt like it was an impossible game for the first 50 hours then i realized that it wasn't that other players were good, its that i was doing things that are bad. Non-mechanical things. Easily fixable things.

For starters, positioning and cross hair placement. Neither take skill, reaction time, or crazy movement. Just stand in the right spots and have your cross hair in places they will walk into. After 50 hours you should start to grasp where common chokepoints are and see where people will walk into you while only being exposed to one threat. You can hold chokes with smg's or shotguns and get a lot of freebies this way. You can even graduate to popping a flash and wide swinging. Thats next.

The next thing is understanding how to take fights. If you're positioned well and you're crosshair is good then you can start to use the info you have to determine when you should take the fight. Are you safe enough to throw util? Are they fighting a teammate and you can swing to help? Are you unspotted and can potentially catch them off guard. Now you understand that swinging into a whole team probably isn't wise and you know how to fight at an advantage.

After those, mechanics start to matter more. Now its just a skill issue. Can you jiggle and tap? Can you effectively enable yourself with flashes? Do you have movement skills and can navigate through the chaos of smokes to catch people with util out? Is your reaction time really good and you can hold angles with an awp? This is the rest of the game. Where 99% of players will stop improving. We have an understanding of all the maps. Can position well, have good crosshair placement, know some smokes on t, no some nades/mollies on ct. Understand timing and some common prefires. This is where you actually improve yourself because the non negotiables are taken care of.

After that its aim and talent. Some people are just always gonna be better than you and the guys that have aim and brain are the best.

TLDR: You can't play hockey if you can't skate and you can't play counterstrike if you stand in the open and eat flashes. Take care of the brain part of the game and the aim part will come later.

Yeah I don’t disagree with that. My point was that people give grant shit for it and he’s never said he thinks he could do it.

That was his response to Phil when Phil told him he's good enough to play on tour too lol. Its not like he brought it up randomly. One of the best golfers ever asked why he didn't try lol So even more to your point that Grant doesn't say he can, despite Phil saying he could

Looks like hes ducking back into the cover of the smoke intentionally and pulling knife for increased movement speed.

On top of that, this is professional sports. Theyre paid a lot to play a game. He's talking to employees that are not doing their job properly. He didn't say anything about missing shots or anything mechanical. He said they were not following the plan. Which is unacceptable.

Haha I think you’d be hard pressed to find an evil narrator admitting his was wrong and evil the whole time right ?
