@МикроПингвин Was slightly interested, until Early Access price came out to $90. Now I'm at negative interest.

Boo ref! The puck was pushed in with a glove! Should be no goal!

Q: How can I improve my gameplay to carry myself out of Bronze League?

I've been playing League for years, since season 1. I'm not an amazing player, but I'm not terrible either. I'm attempting to get out of Bronze League in ranked play, but I'm having a very difficult time doing so. I'm very consistent in my games, particuarly when I ADC as Ezreal. My stats for him...

@StrixVaria I can survive T4 fairly well but it is the opposite of fun to play. The rift boss took 4 minutes of solid beating.

@AshleyNunn Not being racist, homophobic, and sexist = being racist, homophobic, and sexist.

Q: How do I remove Steam Inbox mail?

Near the top of the Steam, there is a green box with an image of a letter. Is there a way to remove all of the notifications at once? Without paying attention, I ended up getting over 300 of them, and I want to remove all of the notifications.

And apparently, white people going to third-world countries to volunteer in building schools for a better education is racist. Because stupid.

it is too much pain in my brainmeat

user15026

@Yuki eh, I can see that one a little better

user15026

1:22 AM

because often, these buildings end up being unused

user15026

because there isn't the infrastructure to support thhem - no teachers, supplies, etc etc etc etc

Yuki

I don't see how that's racist.

user15026

@Yuki It's a white saviour thhhing

Yuki

I see how it's stupid planning and whatnot, but I don't see how it's racist.

@AshleyNunn So, don't try to help people if you're white because that's racist?

user15026

@Yuki white people come in build school for brown people therefore brown people now better yay because white people saved thhem

Yuki

1:23 AM

And if you don't help because you're white, you're also racist?

Holy catch-22, Batman.

user15026

@Yuki it's more....help them help themselves, don't assume you know their needs

GnomeSlice

@AshleyNunn Who cares who built the school?

@Yuki IT HURTS WHY

I mean I know, sociologically, why tumblr works how it does, and how it forms the communities it does, and how all of these special snowflakes are like moths around a zap light but oh dear and fluffy kittens why

RedRiderX

@RedRiderX you know now this just looks creepy...

Yuki

It's so stupid because a good amount of money immigrants make comes from operating ethnic restaurants.

So, saying that "eating foreign food is cultural appropriation/oppression" is literally the opposite of truth.

@Yuki No, falsehood is literally the opposite of truth. ;)

@LessPop_MoreFizz I am not up to doing the education because really, this is not the place for long discussions of this type, and really, I would be more up for it if I could articulate it with any kind of clarity, but as you are well aware, I am not the best with articulating my thoughts and ideas in ways that are, well, easy to understand if you have not spent significant amounts of time in or around my brainmeat.

@AshleyNunn Right, which is why I am link dumping something recent and helpful.

@GnomeSlice You have had an axe to grind about this (and all other portal lore) questions for a really long time, holy fucking shit. (Not that I am disagreeing, but man that is a long time to carry a grudge over what is honestly a pretty minor thing.)

@LessPop_MoreFizz Who said anything about a grudge, it's a forum post, not a real question.

The fact that it's about portal is irrelevant
