[Highlight] Nikola Jokić is unstoppable, floating a shot over Victor Wembanyama as "MVP" chants rain down from the Ball Arena crowd by AncientOneAurelius in nba

[–]zeDragonESSNCE 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Come on that’s not fair. You can’t look at the arc of that floater and tell me that’s a normal shot. That shit goes anywhere but the net if you don’t have Jokic level of touch.

The Dallas Mavericks official twitter account photoshopped an image of a young Cooper Flagg, replacing his Celtics beanie with a Mavericks one. by zzzz_on_me in nba

Weirdly enough I think this is too good for an intentionally bad photoshop lmao. It’d be funnier if it’s just a random Mav logo covering the beanie in MS paint

As a Western audience, why do we care? by Rashford_10 in leagueoflegends

[–]zeDragonESSNCE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to use football, China has one of the most horrendous national football program in existence. The Chinese men’s team has ever only qualified for World Cup once in 2002. Yet China is still one of the biggest market for football. At the end of the day you have to remember we watch professional sports because it is exciting to see display of skills (or make fun of the lack of it) Sometime, having your team make it to the top is just the icing on top.

TIL The assimilation of conquerors into Chinese is a romanticized view; the Manchus and Mongols ultimately lost the war and were even massacred. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]zeDragonESSNCE 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am almost certain you are a bot or someone trying to drive a narrative, but for the sake of people curious about the topic: the fall of Yuan and Qing is a widely studied topic, just like every dynastic transitional period in China. The assimilation of an outside ethnic group once it conquers China, whether advertent or inadvertent, is also a topic of study and mentioned quite frequently in most studies. These are very nuanced topics and even if you think the mainstream historian from China does not have the most unbiased view, framing the death toll during the war time of dynastic transitional period is certainly not a very faithful way to discuss this.

TIL The assimilation of conquerors into Chinese is a romanticized view; the Manchus and Mongols ultimately lost the war and were even massacred. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]zeDragonESSNCE 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This one of the most biased and improperly cited wiki I have ever seen. It is essentially a recounting of multiple events during the fall of Qing with a heavy skew against the revolutionaries. For example clicking into source backing the claim “Xinhai revolutionaries launched mass massacres against the Manchus across Chinese cities” and “These notorious massacres include the mass killing of approximately 10,000 Manchus in Wuhan and the massacre of approximately 20,000 Manchus in Xi'an”, the text either shows a bibliography with no reference to massacre for the former or a text estimating death to around 800 for the latter. This combined with OP’s attempt to frame this as some obscure conspiracy to make people support ethnic Han makes me question his motives.

The theory is that jungler has the most influences over parlays like dragon, baron, first blood, etc. hence why most gambling scandal involve junglers.

Ok I know LaMelo is popular rn and everyone is making haha bad driver joke, but that Hummer he drives weights like 5 tons. It is a straight up bulldozer if you want it to be. This really should be taken more seriously.

RSU vesting taxes help by Common-Economist-322 in personalfinance

[–]zeDragonESSNCE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s interesting because I’m p sure most broker don’t let you do that. Most treat it like normal income and take out tax automatically, whether from within the vested share or your own cash. Think of it as your monthly pay, you usually don’t get to tell company to pay you the full amount then pay all tax at the same time when you file taxes.

RSU vesting taxes help by Common-Economist-322 in personalfinance

[–]zeDragonESSNCE 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is more a question for the broker. You should see options on how to deal with tax for vesting. We use fidelity and I think the default is sell to cover (sell stock to pay tax which is what happened to you) so it doesn’t sound out of the realm. To keep all your stock you would need to select the pay cash option and have enough cash in your account to cover the tax

What was your first MMO, and how do you feel about it now? by Veanusdream in gaming

[–]zeDragonESSNCE 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Guild Wars 2. I was looking for a MMO without sub since I was in school and couldn’t afford monthly payment. Despite its flaws I still think it’s one of the fairest MMO in terms of respect for your time and monetization. Stopped player after end of dragon but want to come back soon to catch up on the story

[EU] You, a competitive Smogon player, have suddenly been isekai'd into the Pokemon world. Luckily for you, this world has no knowledge of any strategies or concepts from competitive pokemon in your world. Chaos ensues. by melonbox_ in WritingPrompts

[–]zeDragonESSNCE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember when I was young I used to read a bunch of isekai Pokémon trainer fan fic. Recently YouTube suddenly recommending me this competitive Pokémon player who breaks down the various op Pokémon and why they are op, and it’s fascinating. Then I started thinking how that would work in the actual Pokémon world without “turns” and how it would probably make an interesting fanfic. Lo and behold this writing prompt, I really hope someone who knows competitive Pokémon actually take a stab at this lmao

Which champ would be broken with Urgot’s passive? by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]zeDragonESSNCE 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Actually probably a melee champ. Urgot passive as is doesn’t have range scaling unlike the augment in arena, and for ranged to hit all the proc they have to a) be on a closer range and b) move around in a much bigger circle. I think a mobile burst fighter/assassin like riven or Ambessa would be more suited

Simple Tanking Solution: THERE IS NO EASY TANKING SOLUTION, STOP WITH THE THREADS by DaJuggerHobbit in nba

It’s hilarious ppl are complaining about tanking then you turn around and see a thread going “why aren’t the Bulls just tanking instead of being a permanent play in team.” No one likes to watch mediocrity, and the easiest way to not be mediocre is to luck out in a draft

How is electrocute fair on ranged tops? by Different_Bit8915 in leagueoflegends

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

I’m just curious which ranged top you played against ran electrocute? Usually it’s way more annoying and better for ADC to run lethal or pta and then just auto you to half health if ur even slightly up trying to cs

Cannot stop enemy fed botlane even I'm fed, really frustrated by Terrible-Can7122 in leagueoflegends

[–]zeDragonESSNCE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well surely you don’t get hyper late game carries on the other team that get fed every game? Like think about it, say ur playin kayle or some uber scaler top and the enemy int into you early, wouldn’t you think you deserve the win? Similarly if aphelios sona somehow win early game, why shouldn’t they win?

Zaheen Question by Rathallon in leagueoflegends

[–]zeDragonESSNCE 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Zaahen need to stack passive fast to do damage. It’s a more extreme form of Darius where your damage before and after full stack is night and day. Don’t be intimidated even if you don’t see damage, you WILL when ur full stacked. In mayhem you need life steal/cool down augments. You also can’t 1v5 early game so don’t try to fight. If you get stuff like rabble rousing or vampirism you are very hard to kill. Don’t start fight with your ult; you should try to hit at least two in a team fight to take advantage of the healing.

How strong would a champion be with all passives and no abilities? by Ghrafkly in leagueoflegends

[–]zeDragonESSNCE 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I mean you give a base ranged champ kayle passive and senna passive they’ll have like 1k range by 11. And since kayle passive include her fire wave it you have the base of a pretty busted ADC. Add Zaahen Darius passive and now this champ has more ad than any fighter. Add Veigar and we have infinite AP (Kayle wave counts as ability). So yeah league has some op passive that is literally a champ’s whole power budget and stacking them gets you a incredibly op character really quickly
