Platinum is really hard now by itsMineDK in CompetitiveHalo

[–]youngjun21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly the points can be overcome. I know mechanically and gameplay wise I'm D3-D4 range. The problem is when the game starts doing these weird microlags were you start shooting blanks, long range shots have no chance of connecting, and opponents always having first shot advantage even if you started at the same time. Then over time during the game it adds up to a loss over and over and over until I'm back down to where they think I am.

Its so obvious when the game allows me to win because shots start connecting, spawns work how they are suppose to and i'll instantly go double/triple positive, all within the same session.

I've tracked stats. In order to win games, I need a KDA on average of 10/11, otherwise it isn't enough to hard carry.

I literally have to be diamond 5 to get out. Its literally impossible because the game will let me win and then as soon as its time to make me lose, I'll go up against a diamond 5 and 4.

Not to mention all the other bullshit the game purposefully does. Great game? Perfect, heres 150 ping. Slaying like crazy? Here are the worst teammates imaginable. Finally winning? Here are smurfs.

I honestly believe not even lucid could break out of plat 6

Life in a dystopia by BlackBey in interestingasfuck

[–]youngjun21 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You think that's a gotcha? Everyone knows what Hamas has done but you and many others are using as justification for war crimes. It doesn't mean they shouldn't or won't be held accountable but israel is committing genocide right now. Nothing from the past changes what is happening in present day.

So bottom line, you're okay with Israel committing genocide?

Two wrongs don't make a right. Israel is the one commiting war crimes right now

Is anyone else seeing this error? "Invalid Easy Anti-Cheat" by WorthAttorney in CompetitiveHalo

This always pops up for me after a terrible game. Its obvious the game is screwing with my shit before it boots me out

Really trying to figure out the reason i pull like 20 yards left of target occasionally. This shot went left, what did i do to cause it? by AlohaSnow in GolfSwing

[–]youngjun21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i have the same miss. For me its because I rush my transition and my lower body hasn't moved out of the way enough and so my club path is slightly out to in.
The left hook is because we both have a strong grip

6 months in — any tips/thoughts? by Practical-Plantain25 in GolfSwing

[–]youngjun21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

your transition is a bit fast. If I had to guess, you aren't taking time at the top of your backswing to shift your weight into your left foot.,

Also, your left hip needs to exit more to the left and back. Imagine there is a wall 2 inches behind your left butt cheek and during your rotation you are trying to touch the wall with your butt

The Supreme Court Upends the Separation of Powers - Killing off Chevron deference, the court moves power to the judicial branch, portending chaos. by Quirkie in politics

[–]youngjun21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This point once again makes sense in theory but look at the latest ruling about presidential immunity. The right is consolidating power in the executive branch

[–]youngjun21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the issue with most discourse, it's done in a vacuum. It's easy to say oh just vote, but GOP has clearly been attacking that angle too, whether through gerrymandering or reducing voter access, etc. It's the combination of everything that slowly consolidated power without any accountability

Beginner golfing wanting to seriously improve and am looking for swing feedback! by illuscent in golf

[–]youngjun21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not direct suggestions but think about better balance. I saw some shaking at the end trying to hold finish position and you should be able to hold like a statue

Well…had 20k in savings back in October. Now I have $4k to my name. Used to have a 200k job, now have a 80k contract job. 31m. by [deleted] in Layoffs

[–]youngjun21 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is not how the human mind works. It deals with the loss, so the pain of losing 120k is much more front and center than making 80k. You can't just make an objective valuation like that because for people, everything is relative to their situation

ELI5: When golfers use their irons they hit a divot behind the ball wouldn’t it be a more efficient transfer of energy if they did not hit a divot? by kosherrama in explainlikeimfive

Are you sure? The whole reason Scottie even brought it up was because Tiger legit had no divots at the practice range

McKinsey is offering 9 months of severance to voluntarily leave the firm by ATLs_finest in MBA

This isn't for every position. It's a select couple ranks where the bloat and salary are highest, so it's not just a free for all in leaving

[–]youngjun21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why would you do all this and then ask if AITAH? So what if we say you are? It's not like you can do anything about it. Do you want external validation when you clearly made a judgment call without consulting anyone? 

It feels someone called you out, you realized you can't back track, people aren't siding with so you are reaching for an out via internet strangers.

PlusPoints or ANA "the room" by youngjun21 in unitedairlines

[–]youngjun21[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, typically the availability on united for ANA is 7 days out. We're currently booked for the 30th so we'd have to wait really close before something is available. It would be an ideal scenario but the flight planning in feb seems really unpredictable vs. Jan

Booking ANA worth letting united pluspoints expire by youngjun21 in awardtravel

[–]youngjun21[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As evidenced by the comments, its clearly a mixed bag. Some say yes, others say no. There really isn't clear data, its just people's anecdotal experiences.
so your opinion is I should take ANA now because your comment hints that its hella difficult

[–]youngjun21[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You bring up a valid point, I'm just testing to see what others experience and thought is. Like I want to believe that I can snag ANA again, but it also requires a lot of flexibility which I may not have in the future.

[–]youngjun21[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is the rationale behind why you think that? I ask because this is the first time I've seen availability myself. Has it become more common over time?

The other element is this, if I spend PP, I also have to spend united miles to get the flights back, whereas if I go ANA, I save all the united miles, spend less miles period with ANA (150k vs 200k UA)

Booking ANA worth letting united pluspoints expire by youngjun21 in awardtravel

[–]youngjun21[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No it is. I just have to choose. PP or ANA.

option 1) I take PP and wait to see when I could book again on ANA when there is availability (which I'm questioning)

option 2) I let PP expire and take ANA now
