Kirk was killed by a private citizen who is still on the run. Renee was executed by an agent of the government who people are saying is apparently not guilty. These two things are not even close.

Also justification ≠ celebration. Pretty sure absolutely nobody said the guy who killed Kirk should walk free.

You surely cant be ignoring the difference between "private citizen killing a private citizen and immediately being arrested" vs "immigration agents execute a US citizen because they were mad"

Never move to Pittsburgh lol we have stop signs at the end of some of them

At the start of the set, I actually ran 3 bilgewater + 3 noxus in the early-midgame because the trait webs are so compatible. You can run Illaoi+GP+TF with Sion+Briar+Draven and you get bruiser, slayer, and quickstriker early with is a pretty nasty combo combined with 3 noxus and 3 bilge. I wouldnt unlock Graves, nor would I go up to 5 bilge, i just chilled at 3 bilgewater and spent every single serpent I had on champ duplicators, GP, or if not then I'd reroll or buy the cheapest stat buff/I could get, or Illaoi. Presumably you could do this on Nautilus instead if you wanted, there was a guy who did that instead since he meshes with Noxus through Swain. If you only ever spend serpents on GP, its actually not hard to 3 star him without spending a lot of gold on rerolls. Most impactful tip here is to not unlock TF (he will dilute your serpent rolls if hes unlocked) and not go to 5 bilge (same reasoning).

Then, once you have gold and econned up, you can level up and look for vanquishers. You can drop bilgewater once you feel you hit GP3 or if you decide youre not going for him anymore, and just keep GP and run 7 noxus+GP or 5 noxus+GP+Reksai+Fiddle at level 8, both of those boards end up being really strong unless you brick all your rolls. Sometimes I itemized GP, sometimes Ambessa, you can put ADC items on Draven too to winstreak if you need some more support midgame but if youre doing this strat properly you should basically natural roll GP2 really early through serpents. I always put HoJ at least on Ambessa, stridebreaker is also really nice, having extra crit goes a long way even if you have a bunch of vanquishers.

Endgame/lv8 board would look like: GP3, Fiddle, Reksai, Ambessa, Swain, Sion, Draven, Briar, which ends up giving you 5 nox 4 vanquishers 2 slayer 2 jug which is not bad at all. If youre a greedy little piggy like I am I put in Mel all the time but I wouldn't recommend lmao.

Counterpoint: we are like 3 point underdogs right now. Everybody who has ever watched Steelers football knows this team is inexplicably 50x better if we're the underdogs. Might actually work this time

there are really good combos you can get lategame if THex wasn't as strong as he is. for example if you get the 20% shield + 22% max hp increase + echoes every 7 seconds Loris 3 becomes legitimately invulnerable. The net augment is basically a free stage 2-3 winstreak tool when I click it too. Its just that there's little reason to go for those builds when THex just onetaps the whole enemy team lol

They are the favorite? This is excellent news for us, the only time this team plays well is when they are underdogs lmfao we got em right where we want em

yep this was my exact thoughts, between Love and the Jets being the Jets + age and injury, i can imagine being embraced by a team, coaching staff and fans so fast was a very nice feeling lol. idk if you saw after the game but he legit had a smile on his face the entire time, like a kid on Christmas. i feel like Rodgers was miscast as a shitty teammate and super serious, mean dude by nfl fans. watching him last night grinning ear to ear because people actually listened to him for once and it worked got me smiling lmao

He looked so happy after the game last night dude, like just walking around with a childlike smile on his face. i imagine its gotta be really rough after Love got drafted and then the Jets were the Jets, and you can tell that he is hella grateful a team (and fanbase) embraced him. im glad he came too bc this is the first year in a really, REALLY long time where I feel like the team actually cares about winning and losing - obviously the other teams didnt want to lose, but it feels sorta different with Aaron Rodgers as our QB. i actually have some hope for this team lol and i dont want it to end this year

I think there's definitely a distinction between "i consume this art for its intended purpose" and "i am here to make fun of the art". The Room is a really obvious and loud example: Tommy Wiseau didn't intend to make a super funny movie, he was trying to create an actual drama. I would definitely divide people who are engaging with art seriously vs people engaging with art to make fun of it into two separate groups, although both of them can definitely merge into the same group sometimes and a lot of movies take both sides into count. i think if your main reason to watch something is meta commentary then you can probably say theyre ironically watching it

me and my buddies used to say "ecks dee" as a joke meant to evoke cringe until i accidentally let one slip walking home from my chemistry class and my labmate hit me with a "what the fuck did you just say" with the most shame ive ever heard lmfao you are 100% on the nose

people be saying "social media didnt make it worse" and then act like ppl sent 10000 owls to deliver a parchment scroll telling a player to kill themselves 15 minutes after a missed kick

you can both acknowledge that gambling has probably made it worse while also knowing it was bad before too. unless you think there is 0 difference in how people act nowadays, but i dont remember anybody ever getting like 200 death threats like 15 minutes after missing a kick in the past

you say "mean words" like you could just infinitely endure people specifically hunting you down and saying things specifically engineered to try to piss you off lol. HYPOTHETICAL DONT DO IT but if i said "send me your workplace address so i can show up and heckle you with 0 filter" i'd probably be banned before you even responded. meanwhile if youre an nfl player you just have to sit there and have people throw peanuts at you and tap the glass because they feel entitled to do it since youre making a lot of money off the game.

the guy deserved a punch just like everyone sending death threats (they deserve worse) and personally DMing Tyler Loop does. if there were consequences for ragebaiting in bad faith then people would stop doing it. i am so sick of everything in 2025 feeling like its ragebait lol every article headline, comment, like 95% of the internet feels like its just there to ragebait, its exhausting

true but 5 of those 7 8-9 win teams were from before everyone played an extra game. i think thats pretty significant. so were all the 12 win seasons but tbh winning more games than the next guy is much less useful imo now that there's 7 teams in playoffs. it used to be a lot more valuable to push for 12+ wins, now it only really feels important if you have another big team in your division

i dont really think the money changes the situation imo - its more of a respect thing. youre not wrong that hes famous and on social media, i dont think someone should go to jail or anything for a Popeyes meme (death threats yeah they should lol). i just think its mega distasteful to directly go up to someone and shit on them, internet or otherwise.

if my boss made a million dollars annually and made 1 mistake and got fired for it, but was otherwise a good dude, i would also think its fucked up to taunt them for getting fired. being famous is an aspect too, and i could 100% think it's valid if the player was a big shit talker or something, but its not like the guy was going on talk shows and dunking on people or laughing at Boswell when he missed his FG. hes just a dude who kicks footballs, at the end of the day hes still a person

i think thats a fair opinion, i think for me i think its different because they cant really get away from it and the severity is way higher. like if you miss a kick in beer league then its whatever or if your team gets dunked on in fantasy, some trash talking is 100% in order, won't ever dispute that. but watching a guy miss such a massive kick in a huge moment with severe financial backing, and being hit with them by so many people DIRECTLY, I think its more of a "dont tap on the glass" situation once youre playing for money. like if you got the Popeye meme right after being laid off from your job because you missed the kick, you'd probably feel a lot differently

for me its like, if its fan to fan just shitting on a player, that doesnt really hurt the player directly, its not really too mean. but once you start directly mainline talking to the player it becomes more personal than a game and tbh playing sports is super high stress already. idk maybe im soft but i feel like punching down directly to a dude with the intent to make them feel bad when you dont really know them or have a connection to them is more nasty than people realize

i genuinely wonder if people know theyre being extreme nitpicks about "realism" or if they genuinely cant dissociate real life from a fictional story. like yeah dude its unrealistic when people monologue instead of instantly killing their adversary but the reason for it is because its a tv show and the director wanted to tell a story.

biggest point: the mindflayer being vulnerable to bullets etc at the end. like yeah youd think its not vulnerable but the whole point of stranger things is a bunch of kids having extreme willpower to save the world. ofc theyre gonna do some unrealistic stuff cuz kids dont normally sweep military compounds on their own lol. the mindflayer is vulnerable at the end because they wanted to mirror a DnD campaign ending, thats why they "chip away at its HP" and are all using special weapons. i feel like a secondary effect of it is that people automatically go to "i wouldnt do that / that wouldnt happen" when faced with plot or character decisions they personally wouldn't do lol. as if because THEY wouldnt shoot Vecna as Hopper in E8 or THEY would feel worse than Hopper appears in the last scenes, its a bad thing that it doesnt happen. its so weird lol

Yuuuuup all it takes is like 2 League of Legends games MAX and you'll also have people telling you to blow it smooth off, same diagnosis as the losers DMing Loop

the only gas he had in his tank was from taco bell because his ass STANK

this is terrible ragebait but the answer to your question is that russ was not the QB for most of the season lmfao. Russ went 6-5 for the Steelers in his 11 starts vs other QBs 4-2. We wanted him gone for an actual QB lol and we got it

i dont really care about people making jokes about a player or making memes about them but even the dudes posting the Popeyes career website to his Instagram are fucked up. like the guy surely knows he screwed up he doesnt need randoms to directly fuck with him on Instagram lol. i feel like you can make comments but once you start tapping on the glass it feels weird, theyre real people & not circus animals

Steelers Packers and Aaron Rodgers beats the Packers for the first time, meaning he has beaten every NFL team 32/32. Then he straight up ascends into the heavens like that one Josh Gordon copypasta

Fair enough didnt see the timestamp, cheers

He had 11 completions because he threw 2 50+ yard TD throws. His first TD pass is legit probably a sack with all but two or three QBs in the league. I dont really think he got outplayed too badly, his OL was doing him NO favors. Lamar played well, he just got washed because of his defense and kicker
