What makes it easier to get a gun license if I get a drivers license afterwards?

It took me a few seconds to process why 15 meters of walking would ever not be worth it.

Looking at his current one, I think they can do 2 of them every minute.

In my language we just called it small Nintendo.

I have to finish Attack on titan first.

Oh, there was 0 offense taken, mockery didn't even cross my mind. I just simply realised I was probably misleading first.

Or, you know, just hardwire it instead of placing a button within the risky zone.

So the thing is, English is not my first language and I used the wrong word. I guess it's more like greasy bread. Just plain pig fat spread on a slice of bread. But what you just described actually sounds awesome.

Before I would get any itch to join the TikTok trend back when it started, I heard that the Chinese Communist Party was collecting some worrying amount of information on their user base, has been suppressing and/or blocking content that raised voice about the uyghur situation and did various nasty things. So I thought I would stay away from that until the situation improves. I have never heard a fraction of information about that happening. Did everyone just suddenly stop caring about how disgustingly TikTok treats privacy and user data (and how they suppress voices they don't like), or did I just simply miss the bit where they stopped doing all those things?

Because that's one of the many reasons I haven't touched it with a stick.

  • You spawn. Not in the best spot, but you have just enough time to pick your weapon before you get slapped from a random corner.

  • You spawn. After taking 2 steps you run into a Brimstone, crouching in a corner, spamming his Odin. Easy kill. This will be a great DM.

  • You Face Jett. Both of you start shooting, but you die to a 3rd party before your 2nd bullet.

  • You spawn. Right between two agents fighting. You get destroyed before you can turn.

  • You spawn. You run into Brim, still crouching in another corner. You delete him. Right after that, 3 people appear from 3 different angles at the same time. You stand no chance.

  • You spawn. You take two steps, then a Reyna swings from the corner, instantly killing you. She's been there for the last 6 seconds, waiting for someone to make noise.

  • You spawn. You see from afar the same Brim crouching behind a box. You aim at him but you get 3rd partied.

  • You spawn. As you run, you hear someone desperately trying to get after you to get a backshoot kill. You decide to teach them a lesson. At the 3rd corner you turn around to greet them. As soon as you turn around, Reyna kills you from behind.

  • You spawn. Reyna spawn kills you.

  • You spawn. Sova runs out of a corner. You take him down quickly. You hear noise from the left, so you turn. Grave mistake, Gecko spawned in the same corner, right after Sova died.

  • You spawn. Right behind Gecko, because spawn algorithm. You start spamming, the first shot misses, you get 3rd partied.

  • You spawn. You find Reyna shift walking around a corner. You open fire but Brim spams you down from a nearby corner with an Odin.

The match is over, Jett has 40 kills and the 2nd best has 22.

I've played DM several games, but this takes the cake.

Does that mean that seeing satellite images of Russia grouping forces along the border would give a perfectly acceptable reason for Ukraine to invade Russia, because Russia turned the border into a hyper militarized threat? Using their own logic on them.

On a slightly more serious note: I really wonder what's going on in your mind when you press that button and cross anyway. Is it just because "I don't care", or is there more to it? If so: what?

EDIT: In case it's because you don't care: why do you press the button then?

(No, I don't want to turn off ALL yellow dot notifications; ONLY the TFT one)

EVERY SINGLE TIME I launch the client, there is a yellow dot on the TFT tab. I check every item I can claim: they have been claimed already. I have clicked through all those childish conversations that you can have with champions. I have even checked my inventory. I am NOT going to buy the pass.

Still, after I close the client, EVERY SINGLE TIME there is a yellow dot on the TFT tab and it's driving me insane.

Where can I finally claim that hidden thing? What do I need to do to make it go away?

Also, one of the main reasons the Russian army has been underperforming is corruption. Loads of money siphoned, incompetent people getting positions, you name it. Zelenskyy is also making sure the same doesn't happen in his country and stays on top performance/efficiency wise.

So the 2 guys I usually play with are champ2 and dia3-champ1 level. I'm also champ1. NONE of us were ever in GC, not for a single match. We play 2v2s and 3v3s, depending on who's available.

This season we got absurd amount of GCs in our matches. Both 2v2 and 3v3, but 3v3 seemed even more infested with GC titles. Interestingly, whenever they actually say something about their rank, they say they are GCs in another game mode, or that they played a long time ago. But most of them still do stuff that we have never been able to, and the rest is just as bad as us, or even worse (which isn't too rare). But this many "GC in another mode" players, suddenly, out of thin air?

What happened suddenly?

Before this season, seeing a GC title in our games was definitely a rarity. We saw ~2-3 every season, and that was pretty much it. Whenever we ran into one before, they actually played like a GC and they hard carried their suspiciously clueless teammates. This season GC matches are more abundant than the ones without.

Is it because the player numbers are falling so hard that Psyonix resorted to widening the matchmaking search, allowing significantly better (or worse) players to match against us, just to keep the waiting times low? Now that I think of it, as many GCs we get against us, we definitely don't see just as many clueless opponents. If it's not the waiting time, then why did matchmaking change so drastically? Is it boosting? Because that didn't just happen overnight between the two seasons.

What do you think?

EDIT: People starting ranked at a lower rank than what they had in the previous season also can't be the reason, since we would also be somewhere in low diamond then; it's the middle of the season, so I doubt THIS many people whould start their freshly deranked season now.
