  • Remember, points are not a measure of skill. Points are a measure of how much ballchasing a player does. Don’t focus on points.

    Don’t focus on your teammate’s mistakes. You cannot change or improve your teammate. Focus on your own mistakes, on what you could have done better in any given play. That’s how you’ll improve, and improving is literally the only way to rank up.

    Even on plays where it looks like it’s 100% your teammate’s fault, question that. Could you have done anything to make the play develop more favorably? Could it be that you rotated erratically, throwing your teammate out of position? I can almost guarantee there are situations where you’re not realizing that you’re cutting your teammate off.

    As I’m sure you know, it’s usually much easier to identify mistakes that your teammate makes rather than your own. So watch some of your replays, but from your teammate’s perspective; then you’ll be the “teammate” and it will be easier to see what you need to improve on.

    When you donate to a software project, you’re not giving money to some inanimate concept. You’re giving it to the developers, the “random people associated with it.”

    Kling’s actions are harmful, and contribute to an open source environment less welcoming to ~4 billion people. I don’t want to reward that. Unless you do, you would be better off putting your support elsewhere, too.

    It’s textbook misogyny.

    No, it is not.

    Yes, it is.

    It’s sexist when you assume someone is a man because they’re a doctor. It’s sexist when you assume someone is a woman because they’re a nurse. And it’s sexist when you assume someone is a man because they’re an OS developer.

    When you continue insisting that the OS developer be a man, even though it’s been clarified to you that they just as well may not be, that’s when your behavior crosses the line to misogynistic.

    It isn’t a fucking “convention” to push women down by insinuating they’re not welcome in your profession, and it’s not a “new convention” to fucking avoid doing that.






    • Veganism?

    Hold up, you think the vegans are in the wrong? You can say that they’re annoying, but in terms of ethics and morals it’s not even an argument. It’s fine to not like tofu or whatever, but there is no amount of verbal gymnastics anyone can do to even begin to justify the modern meat and dairy industries. That shit is basically Animal Auschwitz times a billion.

    Ah, yes.

    Red party: tax cuts for billionaires, dismantle government agencies and sell the scraps to billionaires for pennies on the dollar, allow billionaires destroy the environment for profit

    Blue party: tax billionaires their fair share, use that money to create a better society that is nicer for everyone to live in, address pollution and climate change

    Mouth breathers: “they’re the same picture”


  • Yes, I understand that. Perhaps I was not empathetic enough, I am sorry to hear that about your family being deceived, along with the rest of mainland China.

    The fact that the oppressive CCP won does not mean they were right. The world is not a Disney movie, the good guys don’t always win.

    “Vindicated” just means that the good guys were good. Whether or not they won.
