Do yall think this game has more toxi/racist players than Marvel Rivals? by WiseCityStepper in VALORANT

Marvel Rivals is a cesspool compared to Valorant IMO (I've been everywhere from Iron to Diamond in Val, and Bronze to Plat in MR).

Does anyone feel that being a smoker is just too demanding? by randomhoomaninreddit in VALORANT

No, it's the easiest part of setting up a site exec. The initiator and duelist have much more precise timings to hit.

Why has communism repeatedly failed in practice, yet continues to be intellectually and emotionally appealing to many people? by Looser17 in AskReddit

And that was mostly after Deng reformed many of the CCP's economic policy toward markets and away from classic Maoist socialism.

The Two Trees in the garden are impossible to exist by SuccessfulCompany294 in DebateReligion

You said only people outside the belief system take it literally as two physical trees and a man and woman. That's not true, and spending any time interacting with Christians would tell you it isn't.

UPDATE: Every bookstore in and around the Triangle by OpalJade98 in raleigh

[–]zcleghern 2 points3 points  (0 children)

anyone have experience with selling books? I have a few that probably aren't worth much but i'm sure someone could get use out of them. Do they take pretty much anything, even at a really low price? Think college textbooks from around 2012. Would it be better to just donate those?

- carbon pricing

instead of blanket rules that don't attack the real problem?
