  • Obviously we install a padded arm that grabs the pedestrians and throws them back onto the curb so they learn not to just walk out in front of the moving vehicles.

    Idk how it is where y’all live but generally people only jaywalk when there aren’t cars driving on the road at that moment. Other than crosswalks it’s kinda expected that if you are going to jaywalk you are going to do it when no car will have to stop or slow down to avoid you. Obviously not everyone follows that rule but generally speaking.

    My heavy CS days were early in csgo days. Back when the skin gambling scene and the pro scene were popping early on. My buddies and I would watch the pro games and then get all hyped to improve and we would jump into ranked only to get fucking pub stomped. Good times. Eventually we did start getting good. I only ever got to whatever rank was below global and only two of my buddies ever got to global.

    However my top fps bragging moment was actually in valorant when it was a closed beta still I absolutely shat all over pro csgo player at the time named JDM in a lobby. Top fragged and completely dominated him the entire match.

    That was when I peaked in my fps gaming lol. It’s all been downhill since. I’m still better than most people at fps games in general, but I am not as sharp and snappy as I was when I was a younger man with way more free time to practice and improve every night.

    They wouldn’t say “you’re getting beaten by a girl” as much as they would respond to the guys losing their minds who happened to be below them on the scoreboard by saying things like “Why are you yelling at her she’s playing better than you are shut up”. Kinda way.

    I have ~10k hours in counterstrike across multi game versions and accounts. I noticed a similar thing over my years. The players doing well in a match were often neutral towards gamer girls, but the guy having a shit match would be the fastest sack of shit every time. Especially if one of the top fraggers pointed out they were being beaten by a girl.

    Obviously there are always exceptions to any rules but in my anecdotal experience the guys who were confident in their abilities didn’t care about women but losers would attack them just for speaking.




  • I wouldn’t be on Lemmy at all if I hadn’t been randomly banned on reddit without any reason given and they instantly denied my appeal asking what rule I broke.

    There are none of the many game specific subs I would frequent on Lemmy. Even if a sub does exist for one of the games I play it has 2 users and the last post was made by a bot about an update from 3 months ago with zero comments.

    The porn is worse and somehow even more filled with bots not labeled as bots. Lately I have seen a lot of very clearly bots just spamming porn from reddit subs as links to the reddit which just seems comical.

    The general userbase on Lemmy seems to mostly contain people from a pretty specific band of the political spectrum and they are extremely hostile to anyone that even sorta varies from their mindset.

    My reddit account was like 12 years old and have hundreds of thousands of post and comment karma on it. I still have no idea why it was suddenly banned with no way for me to contact any human about it.

    Lemmy just doesn’t have the same communities I frequented and there is no fix for that other than waiting until there are so many users that eventually that niche group I used to converse with daily finds their way over here.

    I’m not mad at Lemmy for not being exactly like reddit, but it just doesn’t scratch the same itch that reddit did because of it’s smaller size and lack of populated niche groups.

    I see posts on the “everything” page on Lemmy from the same handful of people which makes it feel like it’s really just a site for those 5 or 6 repost machines to post their stuff 24/7.


  • I hope Yuki somehow nails it right off the bat and proves to those clowns that they should have done this in the first place.

    That being said I think we all know he’s probably going to struggle badly and Liam will probably finish the Japan GP ahead of Yuki.

    It’s hard to be a Redbull fan when almost everything they have done lately has been bafflingly stupid.
