I receiced one of those special offer emails to buy stocks on Monday. Weren't those supposed to go only to power users? I haven't done anything with my account since the API debacle and wasn't a power user before.

I feel like their rug pull before the ipo doesn't work that good. I hope the gme bros will short reddit to the ground, that would be the best end to Reddit I can imagine. Fuck spez.

Ew, who still watches LTT?

I don't need a scientific study to know that most days I'd need my car for a significantly lower driving distance than the few long-range outliers.

The problem isn't a logistical of "Wow! Turns out I can commute with an EV because I don't drive 400 km to work each day! Thank you Mr. Scientist!" but a financial one. The large majority of people can afford one car, if any, and this one car has to work for everything. Do you think people are happy investing in a 20k or more EV when they still have to rent a car to visit their familiy over holidays?

If it's just for the sake of driving around town daily, EVs need to get significantly cheaper to be interesting for people with normal incomes.

Haha, also transfomiert ChatGPT zum passiv-agressiven Forenuser. Das Internet fängt wieder von vorne an.

Well, if you don't pay with money, you're paying with your attention. Do you think they create this huge service just for funsies?

Tbf, out of all media streaming services across movies, series, and music, Spotify has the highes bang-for-your-buck. It's still like Netflix at that time when there was only Netflix and you could watch almost everything on one platform. I still buy records that I like on physical media like vinyl, but Spotify is such a great deal for convenient listening to all music out there.

That's one of the deepest fears of employers or the upper class in general: All people realizing how the system works and playing accordingly. Such many people are off worse just because they don't have the mental capacity left to inform themselves when they are caught up in their shitty lives.

Jokes on you, I'm boycotting the game since Epic bought it and forced me to create an epic account to play it. After I purchased it on Steam, mind you. Absolute douche move and they can go fuck themselves. It should be illegal to alter a game post-launch so that you can't play it under the same circumstances when you bought it.

Wurde Zeit, dass bei den veganen Alternativprodukten mal der Preiskampf anfängt. Die Mondpreise, die bisher aufgerufen werden, sind absurd und nur Hipster-Abzocke.

Haha, they're pulling Black Flag so so that Skull & Bones has less competition.

What a weirdly wonderful magazine this is.

I don't know I one should derive a scientific test out of it, but if a guy gets batshit crazy over the movie, then he might not have the best relation towards independent women.

Greetings fellow summoners of the Fediverse. Imma try to contribute some content to the magazine regarding the upcoming jungle nerfs.

I've heard through that Riot is getting ready for a jungle nerf in the near future (phroxzon suppsedly posted some Xcrement on Musk's dumpster fire). What is the impression of jungle in your games and on which rank are you playing?

I'm in bronze and mained jungle the previous two seasons whereas I play sidelanes now (top atm but adc is fine as well). I get that jungle is very impactful by concept, but I feel like this doesn't transfer two low elo games directly. Here are my reasons:

  1. In general jungle is behind on exp and gold compared to solo lanes to offset the higher impact.
  2. So if you just afk farm, you will be behind solo lanes.
  3. You'll have to make some plays then. Making successful plays depends on your judgment of the map state and what happens next.
  4. Because you and everyone in the game is dumb and won't behave like they should if they'd understand the game, you can't rely on "proper decision making", even if you make the right call.
  5. This means it's very random if your calls will work or not.

So here's what I conclude: Your jungler will either play it safe and will be behind all game or he will try to get fed but he doesn't have the biggest agency about it if he's not a smurf that has a way better understanding of the game. So you'll just flip a coin and see if your jungler snowballs or the other.

If the upcoming jungle nerfs will target jungle economy again I'll suppose this will get worse. A better way to nerf jungle in regards to game health would be to reduce the skill ceiling in jungling; maybe it's a "Zeri problem" where better players are just too good for the role.

Don't ask me how to do this, though. Only thing I can contribute is that I've seen both sides of blaming jungle that I think the role is shit in low elo. I don't even jungle anymore but everytime our premade has a random jungler from the interwebs in our team I hear the poor guy playing just as bad as ourselves but of course he's the problem. If we win then of cooourse we carried like hell.

I love the whole macro aspect of jungling but I won't touch that toxic role anywhere soon. Toplane is so fun in comparison: You'll fight mano-a-mano and both of you are still reasonably fed after lane if someone didn't run it down completely. You'll get to play your first 15 mins in peace and then you'll join clown-fiesta and see how it goes lol.

Thanks for coming to my FedTalk

I hope I am not the only one with this "issue", but whenever I pick up my instrument (most of the time guitar) with a specific genre or style in mind, I struggle to write just something like that.

To give a little background info: I listen mostly to blues rock, hard rock, and alternative/garage rock I'd say. But for the longest time my music leaned more towards the blues rock side; slower (e. g. 80-100 bpm), very focused on the blues scale. These days, I want to create songs more in the vein of Guns N Roses, Van Halen, Motley Crue and the like but I struggle with the general feeling of those styles.

What are your tips regarding this? When I look up some actual songs, it's just I-III-IV power chord stuff or basic pentatonic scales again. So why do my powerchords not sound like that as well? Phrasing it that way makes it sound ridiculous, but I hope you get the point. It feels like I am missing the point that distinguishes let's say sleaze rock from classic heavy metal. Maybe I'm m overthinking it but it annoys me that my writing process seems to be very trial-and-error.

As the title says, let's hear it. What's the best underwear type for you? I'm wearing boxer-briefs and while they are generally fine, I hate it when the legs roll up and start to pinch everywhere.

Either I am too dumb or I would like this feature to be added. It would be cool if there would be a button where I can directly jump to the source link if I want to read the article first, after diving in the discussion or if I don't want to open the thread altogether.

So I want to edit all my posts and comments before the API changes drop but power delete suite doesn't get all comments and forgets a lot, maybe 50%? I have unchecked all boxes about filtering out subs or gilded comments and stuff.

Here's the message I want to leave behind, in case anyone is interested:

I had a reddit and I want it painted black
No comments anymore, I want them to turn to black
I see the subs scroll by forced open by the corp
I have to turn my head until my reddit goes

Ist schon interessant. Kaum, als Reddit so langsam Mainstreamluft schnuppert, kippt das ganze System, weil die Unternehmensführung den Hals nicht voll genug bekommt. Bisher wusste bei uns auf Arbeit keiner, was dieses "Reddit" sein soll und ob das nicht Teil dieses Darknets ist. Durch die vielen Primärquellen zum Ukrainekrieg ist dann der ein oder andere aufmerksam geworden. Wahrscheinlich dachte u/spez, dass jetzt der Zeitpunkt gekommen ist, dass Reddit endlich in der Riege der beschissenen, megacorp-Netzwerke mitspielen kann.

Hat er eindrucksvoll geschafft.

Heyo, does anybody play Street Fighter 6 on the deck in here? I'm having trouble with really heaving freezes that last roughly 1-2 seconds every few minutes that won't go away when I turn down graphic settings.

It happens during arcadeode offline as well as in menus and cutscenes. The deck just stops doing anything for a short period of time the everything goes back to normal. Performance in genera would be absolutely okay so I don't know what this could be.

Can someone do an edit of the infinity war video where all the fighters enter from the portals? But only with the subs that back the reddit blackout.

It cracks me up everytime I look at reddark to see stuff like amateurcumsluts next to animalcrossing and architecture.

I've read about several tools (e. g. redacted, power delete suite) that delete all your content, so what's the best thing to use? I've also already read that reddit is bringing back deleted content (fuck you spez), so what the best way to prevent this?

Hello, quick question about the interconnection between instances in the fediverse. I now have my account here on kbin.social and I have also created an account on mastodon.social some while ago that I've reactivated now since the reddit blackout. I have read that kbin can access mastodon, so do I need a Mastodon account at all? Can I possibly log in to Mastodon through my kbin.social account and use the Mastodon interface when I feel like it?

Also another thing: would this question better fit into the threads section or is it fine here with the microblog?
