It's both. Even terrible people with something to lose are less likely to throw it all away.

If this guy makes $35k a year at dollar general, he probably doesn't go on a murder spree.

But you could also just not be an asshole. Why go after random people instead of someone who actually helps cause the bullshit?

If there's one issue, ever, that you should be at least a little "both sides" on, it's this one.

There's no way you can honestly argue only one side of this.

If you do, do it for Jordan Klepper's wit. It's truly impressive how fast he comes up with these and how deft he is at it.

I could do it in writing over an hour. He does it on the fly in seconds and is able to manage the conversation at the same time. It's incredible.

Well, yes. Less working class people vote (as a percentage) than rich people.

Also the rich people help run ads telling the working class who to vote for. And that works often enough to be effective.

What was a profound moment that a video game caused you to experience, and why? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I was in M2-XFE. That whole experience certainly taught a lot about the power of narrative and propaganda. And the later blockade showed what leadership failures look like.

We always had the advantage in that blockade, and could have stayed there for another year had the allies stuck together. Or we could have executed real plans to break them and end the war. Instead we did the worst of both.

X fined $610,500 in Australia first for failing to crack down on child sexual abuse material in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 53 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They refused to respond to an Australian government investigation. (Because Elon fired the two people who interfaced with Australia.)

The fine is not directly because they haven't cracked down*, but because they couldn't competently answer if they're handling it at all.

(* and they've probably fired enough trust and safety people that they're also having trouble there, but that's not exactly what the fine is for.)

.NET 3.5 (lemmy.ml)
 

If I'm fresh installing League, why is it asking for .NET 3.5 as a dependency? Do you know how many years old that is? Do they know about .NET 4.8?

Why League is Toxic (lemmy.ml)
 

League (and mobas in general) are more toxic than other games, which is already a pretty high bar.

The primary reason is the large number and wide variety of skills needed combined with the snowball nature of the game. But let's talk about those skills.

  • cs
  • Warding for lane
  • Dodging skillshots
  • Landing skillshots
  • Jungle tracking
  • Wave management
  • Matchup knowledge
  • Objective setup
  • Team fighting (could be broken down into multiple styles)
  • Lane assignments
  • Knowing when to farm or sacrifice farm
  • Warding for objectives
  • Communication
  • Managing tilt
  • Influence on team morale
  • Item builds
  • Suvival
  • Knowing when to die
  • Adaptability to game state
  • Adaptability to teammates

I'm sure you could easily triple the size of this list. Naturally you're going to pay more attention to some skills over others, as will everyone else. And of course you'll be better at the ones you pay more attention to.

Imagine rating yourself on each of those skills 1-10.

Now you're thrown onto a team that likely has the same overall skill level as you, if you add those all up. What are the odds that the skills are in the same places? Across four other people? You're almost certainly paying less attention to some of the skills where your teammates are better than you.

The end result is that nearly everyone you play with looks worse than you. Likely much worse.

There's some variance between games, sure. This could just be a bad game for them. But... probably more often it's their average game. More often you're just not able to see how they win games.

So keep this in mind next time you think everyone in your game is terrible. They're probably able to make up for it somehow if you let them, even if you don't see it.

Riot Please - Solo Queue Drafting (lemmy.ml)
 

There are two big problems with drafting in solo queue right now. One is that if you're flexible and/or pick to help the team comp, you're likely to be dodged. Two is that dodges are a horrible user experience. Nobody wants to sit in 2-3 separate queues for ten minutes going through drafts that get dodged if you counter the enemy team too hard. Nobody wants to get their off meta champion banned because they showed it in the previous champ select.

Drafting is 100% part of the game and should be treated as such. The people "winning" a draft should get some kind of LP, whether that's through playing a game where they have an advantage, or just straight LP for a dodge or afk.

Dodges and afks should lose full LP, and that LP should be distributed to the opposing team. If you queue up for a game, play it.
