@wanted4mogging It's very difficult to be unattractive as a thin young woman with long hair in a dress or skirt, if its disabilities youre talking about its brutal on both genders and probably moreso on men, otheewise its likely her fault.

i’ve thought about this lately. there is a massive lack of incel sympathy for ugly girls due to the fact that “someone will still find them attractive”, and “they still all want chad”, as if the sub5 men also don’t also all want their own gio scotti. being genuinely ugly as a woman must be one of the most terrifying body horrors i can imagine, because unlike a man you can practically do nothing else to make yourself more desirable. men have charisma, status, money, humor, aura, style, things that can genuinely move the needle on female attraction but women almost exclusively have their looks. every good trait a woman has besides her looks only matters in the context of her looks. imagine being a sub5 foid and going to miami, you literally wouldn’t exist. you wouldn’t be perceived. women around you would be treated as royalty for just existing and you are nothing, and you can’t do anything to become anyone. as a man you should always be grateful you were born a man. you were given agency and command over your own destiny. a woman has none of those things, she can cure cancer and it would raise her value by like 5%. she is only what she is and nothing more. BRUTAL

@LLAMATRADER123 Junglers fucking hate playing jungle champs, how miserable must they be for him to be top in every elo while negative winrate lmao

lol

@ginnnnnn05 You can't really convince childish bad-faith people who have strong emotional investment in their opinion through reasoning, you just have to fix what's wrong against their will. Common situation with children or pets, for example.

im surprised the fact that females have more gender expression mobility than males isnt really acknowledged that much in woker circles. like i realised girls were free-er in that respect when i was like 3 years old

@minordissent Wow if only there was like a really important really foundational guy who talked about this extremely clearly in a reasonably readable simple dialogue

The “fix everything switch” is to install a philosopher king monarch btw

@minordissent Can we stop pretending the people who look at moodboards on pinterest and discuss aquarius readings are some kind of deeply trustworthy selectors of character?

Hate to say it but: skill issue. Most women will take a bet on potential. if no woman has ever bet on your potential, that’s a mark against you not against women.

@GiffLasta I'm not sure I'd consider polygamy a privilege, taking care of several woman sounds like a headache and I think those niche cases of polygamy were mostly done because they thought this upper class man could handle that burden.

“Polygamy solves these problems.” At the cost of killing half the men. Polygamy at scale has NEVER been done in any civilized society. It was a privilege of the very wealthy, town chiefs, governors, and kings.

The idea of blocking your banking access is so flagrantly and hilariously oligarchical, some random at a banking corporation handing you a death sentence without trial.

@RiotPhroxzon This is important since activity and excitement for the top of the ladder trickles down both in the form of content creators and motivation to climb, Ive not felt any excitement for apex tier content or attempting to climb there myself due to this mmr shenanigans.

@RiotPhroxzon I still think the way mmr is now makes way more sense for below apex tiers but its clearly not working up there based on how the top players are lashing out and how many manual adjustments you have to make. Would better to just use a fairer system that doesnt encourage fresh acc.

Apex LP Gains Hey everyone, We’ve had a lot of attempted changes to resolve some of the root issues with the Apex experience this year. Some have worked OK and others haven’t worked as well. We wanted to shine a light on changes that are going out (hopefully) today and how we’re going to approach it for the near term and wanted to apologize for the experience that people have been running into so far. Does every region have negative LP gains? - Less than 5 of our 16 regions are having negative LP gains in Apex right now, and they’re to varying extents - Some of those are experiencing it consistently and others, just a little bit, and most, none at all Is Aegis of Valor causing this? - We don’t see any long term impacts on LP gains caused by Aegis - Especially given that the majority of regions are functioning completely fine What’s going on then? - Masters being more achievable this Season & the best players getting stronger as the years go on is expanding the gap between the bottom of Master and the top of Challenger. - The addition of Challenger duos made it more challenging to balance some of these games - While we took pre-emptive mitigations to reduce the impact of things like Rank 1 & 2 duoing together, they weren’t powerful enough and resulted in the best players catapulting further ahead - The rollout of our improved Matchmaking and better balance to duos (this is now Live in every region); does a better job of balancing duos and balancing autofills to make Apex matches more balanced in over 90% of cases, but there is still work to be done when the very best players are duoing together - In the Live Ranked system, the max LP attainable has a soft cap to prevent LP gains from getting too high, which combined with the above issues has led to a less than ideal apex ladder experience Are you going to reset the ladder? - There are some set of people who are really vocal about resetting the ladder; we hear the concerns and are taking them seriously - At the same time, there are a lot of players who will find it very frustrating for all their progress to be reset and while some players will be happy we reset it, others will not, so we’re continuing to evaluate The changes we’re making - To reiterate, in the Live Ranked system, the max LP attainable has a soft cap to prevent LP gains from getting too high - The closer you get to the top of the ladder, you need a higher and higher winrate to climb. - ie. As a player gets closer and closer to the cap, their gains will approach +10/-30 - We’re going to remove this cap, which will unbound LP on the top end and result in the very best players being able to play and climb to pretty high LP values (+30/-10LP until they start to reach where they should be) - It will also make LP gains for the entire Apex ladder more stable, but LP cutoffs for Grandmaster and Challenger will also increase when most players no longer have negative LP gains - We expect most regions to reach peak LP’s of around 3000 and in some of the top end cases, close to 4000 - Grandmaster and Challenger are meant to be very difficult to achieve and it’s intended to be challenging to get there (in the same way that an Emerald player should look at Diamond and feel like it’s going to be difficult to achieve) - At the same time, we’ve heard your feedback that hitting these ranks feels too daunting and grindy (though there is an expectation that the peak ranks in a game are going to require more dedication to keep, we need to strike a good sweet spot here) The future - Us making climbing at apex less daunting caused us to add Grandmaster several years ago and we’re nearing some of those feels now; the skill gaps in Apex are getting too big - In some regions also, the number of Grandmaster/Challenger slots being too low for how big their region is is also contributing to the cutoffs being very high (EUW being a notable example) -> curious on thoughts on increasing this - We might also reconsider the top end of how much LP you can gain per win, but need to be considerate of how much this incentivizes smurfing - Changes to systems like these are a natural part of League being a long-lived game and having growing player skills over time Thank you for being patient with us as we fix all the things and we’ll continue to work to make the top of ladder climbing experience the best it can be.

@KazePNW The primary purpose of work as a system is to keep you occupied first and foremost, so it stretches out as efficiently as possible (and makes alternatives as inconvinient as possible) to make sure it can accomplish that.

I think 3x12s a week or 4x10s should be the norm for work. Anything over that is automatic overtime. More days off during the week. 5x8s is dumb.

@FromKulak What differentiated the original literature is that it was a highly practical school of thought centered around where you have will/control and where you do not, and did by no means look down on violence, punishment or escape so long as it was done with a clear mind and intent.

@FromKulak I feel bad for stoicism in name as it was a decent even if not perfect school of thought in its actual literature (Seneca, Epicurus) but devolved into this girldad gym edit slop centered around enduring being tortured in recent culture thanks to Christianity and Marcus Aurelius.

Both of these are gay. Stoicism is an inversion of Homeric values. The signifigance of the fact you're doomed to die, is that you have limitted time but infinite freedom to kill your enemies, bed hot chicks, and win undying glory by carving your name on the bare flesh of History
