Grouping with a low rank player in order to win their games for them and thus 'boost' their rank artificially. Often for money.

I don’t have blind belief in the story. Nor do I have blind rejection of the story. I see a story that might be true, and might not, but is interesting either way.

your assumptions say a lot about you as a person

We did it you guys! So far, we managed to have a post about a speed running record with NO comments saying “I don’t get it, why does anyone care” or “imagine if they spent their time on something useful” or some other asinine bullshit!

Anecdotal, I know - but I’m in the .000000001. Parking brake failed and my car slowly rolled into the middle of my office parking lot. I park it in gear now :)

It happened to me! Parking brake went out, car just rolled into the middle of my work parking lot. I... park it in gear now.

One day my parking brake went out and I didn’t know that. I was at work, parked in the lot on a very gradual incline. Later that day the front desk called me to say that my car was just.... rolling away. I was so, SO lucky it didn’t pick up enough speed to hit anything hard! I’ve always parked in gear since then.

I love, love, LOVE my proximity key (it’s not a remote starter - just a key that unlocks the door and allows the car to start when it’s inside). I keep it in my briefcase. Since having a car with a proximity key, I have never a) forgotten my laptop at home on my way to work, b) had to fish around in pockets in the…

Edit - oops read your question wrong. My bad

To all the commenters who say “but why do we need this” or “but I LIKE driving”, if you’re willing to be more likely to kill someone (or yourself and your family) because you “like driving”, you’re a fucking monster. I hope that if we see some positive safety statistics around autonomous vehicles, that people change…

The problem is, players’ main motivation is often not to “win” but rather to “vent rage.” People would rather be “right” than win - e.g. they’d rather think “you suck shit while I did it right” than they would think “what can I do to turn this game around?” This is why you constantly see people shit talk their own…

Same here! It really changed my view when I realized it’s not ABOUT the bathroom, it’s about the cadence.

Well that’s just like, your opinion, man.

Welp, she’s a human being, so I’m gonna go with “be respectful and appropriate” even if her body is (part of) the product. Just by calling “her body” the product, you’re vastly oversimplifying the product. Her body, personality, game choice, play style, community interaction, industry knowledge etc etc etc are the…

If you think those things are the same, you’re being intentionally thick. Nobody wants women to “do what they want” by intentionally being shitty to other people.

WHY are there so many people trying SO HARD to defend this kind of shitty fucking behavior? I don’t get it!!?? Who here is FOR sexually harassing women? Who.

What? How is it hard. It’s only hard if you make it hard. Lady with her titties out? Try not be a fucking piece of shit about it. Lady with her titties out and selling a seat to watch? STILL TRY NOT TO BE A FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT ABOUT IT. Not difficult.

If you want to build machines more, but don’t want to pay $100 to have someone troubleshoot for you, start a collection of any old hardware your buddies don’t want anymore. Any parts people are going to throw away can be used to troubleshoot. I keep a shitty PSU around just for this sort of occasion. If my new PC…

How they spend their lives affects you in NO way. Why would you even have an opinion about that?

Yep, they took on a big risk by going into this business, and that’s their choice to make. Does that mean they can’t complain about it? Why the hell WOULDN’T they complain about it? What hurt you about the complaint to make you so hostile toward it?
