But if they consistently win it still alter the political landscape such that someone else will have a better chance of enacting actual change in the future.

The two party system is garbage, but if one of the two current parties lost its ability to win entirely then a different second option could appear.

Hunted a quematrice, for the glory of the Empire!

It would be a subset of "urban commercial", right? Somewhere in the range of half to three-quarters of it?

Like pcpartpicker, but for everything!

OP doesn't seem to have responded, so no, but that's not the fault of the question.

Because of the XY problem. The problem OP is stating may not actually be the source of the issues OP is experiencing.

Finding out what OP is trying to do will better inform a solution and may make the stated problem irrelevant.

Was diamond 1 when I made this original post, currently diamond 2. Progress has slowed somewhat, but I know the areas I need to work on to tighten things up.

Been tracking my progress in a spreadsheet.

One moment that sucked was quitting mid-match to answer a knock at the front door and ate a >100LP disconnect penalty for it. In hindsight I should've just AFK'd and let the guy take my 40 instead. It was a goddamn door-to-door ISP sales agent.

I'll add you next time I'm on and maybe I'll see you around. I'm in a bit of a weird timezone though.

edit: I can't find you on the buckler site by any of "aight_passing", "aight passing", or "kajib". What's your CFN ID?

edit the second: Found you with a hyphen.

I think you mean "demographic"

Too bad that something doesn't adhere to the structure of a limerick.

Last question first, yes, kind of. I have some degree of misophonia and hate most extraneous noise. This also extends externally perhaps just as a matter of empathy and makes me uncomfortable when making noise. My partner even complains that I move too quietly and startle her quite often.

To be more specific I prefer my portable devices to be always muted, which is where I consume most short-form content.

For longer content, like movies and shows, I'll generally not be consuming that portably. Though I still strongly prefer to wear headphones so that I'm the only person who hears it.

I don't have any hearing impairments but just prefer to have my devices muted at all times. I find this style of subtitles far easier to read and pace naturally. Rather than being unable to keep up I could read it much faster, even. My limit based on that speed reader site linked in another comment seems to be somewhere between 600 and 700 words per minute.

I read through it for the details.

It was net negative, requiring 2MW of power to maintain hydrogen plasma in a state analogous to fusion. The major achievement of this particular experiment was doing so without energies equivalent to a fusion reaction damaging the containing assembly.

It was purely a test/demonstration of the containment of fusion-like conditions.

 

I made a post here a few days ago complaining about content all being elsewhere, which was nice to vent, but doesn't really help the situation. Now I've decided to be the change.

Let's actually talk a little. What games do you all play? Tell me what you like about them!

Personally I've always been big into Street Fighter. I enjoy almost any fighting game, but the SF series is the one that I have by far put the most time into. I'm having a blast with SF6, even if I am just a diamond rated scrub. :D

 

Just venting, but if you want to avoid Twitter it means missing out on easily 90% of FGC activity, and the remaining 10% is almost all Discord and Reddit.

RIP SRK.

 

I can't wait.
