First, I want to be clear this is a tangent from the main post. The specifics of what I'm doing "wrong" don't matter to the OP as much as what kind of opportunities it opens up.
We're talking solo queue, where the jungler hates coming bot unless it's pushed into your turret, and your adc will use a lead to keep the lane at the enemy turret.
I've found that if I just completely abandon bot lane, my adc is about 50/50 to win lane. Enemy bot lanes are incapable of significantly freezing a wave. They'll get desperate to push their 2v1 advantage, and do dumb shit. I've seen my adcs outplay the 1v2 dive often enough.
Given that, it makes sense to influence the game elsewhere.
Sending the support mid in solo queue is underrated. Both vision and prio are so much more important mid than bot. Having the support near there gives you both.
I do love to link up with the mid, jungle, or both and come bot lane to punish the 2v1.
I looked up my exact quote, which isn't perfect, but a permanent ban seems kind of crazy.
It's not really lethal if you're vaccinated, especially if you're young.
I wouldn't downplay long Covid. And if I had to do it again, I'd change some things. But saying that once in an appropriate thread seems pretty innocuous to me.
I've been permanently banned from the League of Legends subreddit for saying a team that had caught Covid wouldn't die because they're young and vaccinated. In a post about them having caught Covid. And in response to someone calling it a fatal disease (which it can be for some, but really isn't if you're 20, vaccinated, and otherwise healthy).
Which is kind of mandatory for how they've designed Lemmy. If you share upvotes between instances, then you've gotta provide sources. Otherwise it's too easy for one instance to manipulate all the others.
You could not share upvotes between instances, but that would really damage small instances. Imagine going to a small instance and instead of the Reddit front page you get the Reddit new page.
Is it, though? It's intended to be a public forum either way. As the MPAA and RIAA should have learned, you can't really keep a public secret.
Using Discord just makes that transparent. You're absolutely being spied on, instead of jumping through a bunch of hoops to give yourselves false confidence that you're not being spied on.
Sure. It's an easy gotcha. But if you consider it a bit more it makes sense.
The US government as a whole, comparatively, are the good guys in this. The US government is pretty cautious and tends to shy away from spreading propaganda to its own people.
There are a lot of caveats there, absolutely. I'll get into some of those. But let's not pretend the US government is on par with the Russian or Chinese governments when it comes to social media propaganda.
The GOP being in bed with the Russians and collaboratively pushing narratives is not being done on behalf of the government. And I doubt whatever is happening at Elgin is targeting Americans.
I have particular experience with this because I tend to have an off-meta playstyle that enrages my teammates. (Basically a support that doesn't stay bot lane.) People very often aren't able to (or refuse to) take advantage of the opportunities I provide.
Very often I'll get first blood top lane, get an advantage mid lane, have incredible vision, and then be under leveled and behind bot lane. At which point my AD will already be pissed and either throw lane by all-in'ing as soon as s I arrive, or hard commit to split pushing for the rest of the game. (Because they're mad. Not because it's appropriate.)
I just blocked memes because it was taking up so much space.
