It would be nice to have elected officials who were born after the Battle of the Bulge.

EmoDuck,

I’m not american so the only Bulge I know is the one that furrys like to nuzzle

@RickyRigatoni@lemmy.ml avatar

only americans know about world war 2

Pirasp,

More like: Only Americans get taught so much about specific battles in school. Elsewhere the focus for WW2 lies more on what led to it and the like.

VinnieFarsheds,
@VinnieFarsheds@lemmy.world avatar

Yes. The reason I learned about the Battle of the Bulge is from Battlefield 1942, not school.

Unforeseen,

I learned way more history from video games then I ever learned from school

Pirasp,

And I, not enjoying realistic historic shooters that much, have probably never learned anything about WW2 from videogames.

RickyRigatoni,
@RickyRigatoni@lemmy.ml avatar

my school didn’t even focus on the battles besides a very basic timeline, no excuse

Pirasp,

Honestly, for you it may seem that way. For me other things you might have very little to no knowledge about seem like basic things everyone should know. It just so happens, that I don’t specifically enjoy learning about moments in time where we were particularly intent on killing each other. My interest in history tends to be at the same time larger and smaller in scale, either following specific people or society in general.

Birdie,

I don’t remember learning much about the Battle of the Bulge in school, except for the fact that it happened.

My great uncle fought in the Battle of the Bulge, and he is who I learned all about it.

AlolanYoda, in Every time

This is me whenever someone asks me to stay in their team.

Suddenly all the apparent skill I displayed last game is revealed to have been an illusion

Gabu,

Game 1 - Gets an ace, completely dominates tactically, on top of every call
Game 2 - How do you shoot, again?

Maybelline, in Every time

I always get the opposite:

  • playing ranked matches in Rocket League
  • watch your mates hand off the ball to the opponents all game
  • lose 8-1 & requeue
  • same jokers now on other side
  • sick mechanics & flawless play
  • lose 8-1 & rage quit

You don’t think it’s me, do you? 😂

worldsayshi,

There are two kinds of gamers. Rage gamers and anxiety gamers.

There was this guy in our friends group who was your guarantee of losing if he was on your team. You could pair him up with the best players and still his utter lack of game-comprehension would somehow drag the others down to his level.

kosanovskiy,

Ans I hope he was thr happiest one in the group, ignorance is bliss.

rwhitisissle,

This person is usually a complex combination of mean and stupid, blaming everyone else for being trash while they make the worst, most incompetent plays you’ve ever seen.

Source?

It’s me. I’m that idiot. Or…used to be.

deliux, in Every time

can’t relate tbh

Aurenkin, in Every time

Weird, I wonder what the common factor could be?

schmidtster,

They are all ranked the same since they have the same skill level in the end.

Speculater,
@Speculater@lemmy.world avatar

One thing that helped me get better is the mindset that if I can’t carry, I don’t deserve to rank up. I just adapt to whatever I’m given.

Appoxo, (edited )
@Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

If I carry, my team can’t be good.

Riven,
@Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

That’s how I feel all the time too. 😎

schmidtster,

Why are you carrying? You should be working with your team instead of plowing through on your own.

If your strength is offense and you get paired with offense people as well, someone needs to fall back and cover defense. If you’re not doing that once in a while, you’re the liability.

Speculater,
@Speculater@lemmy.world avatar

Hence, adapt to whatever I’m given. If I can’t play offense and defense, I don’t deserve to rank up.

schmidtster, (edited )

You adapt to what your team needs. If you think you are “carrying” you’re playing a team game completely wrong mate. Simple as that.

Exusia,
@Exusia@lemmy.world avatar

Look I don’t appreciate you coming at me with these logical and reasonable points.

Aurenkin,

Well, I never have this problem… because I stopped playing competitive games. I suck and they actually kinda stress me out unless I play with friends who are chill.

Gormadt,
@Gormadt@lemmy.ml avatar

Likewise, coop is so much more fun IMO

Especially if it’s something like Overcooked

Silly coop games with a low barrier of entry are amazing

Karyoplasma,

I stopped playing Dota 2 in 2019, clocked 6500 hours on that game. The only times I had fun was when I player with friends, solo queue was torture.

DoucheBagMcSwag, (edited )

It’s because games like Call of duty rig matchmaking so you don’t win / lose all the time. Connection preference can make all the difference

Edit: I appear to have stumbled into a rocket league focused discussion

anticommon,

There are very few games from large companies that don’t tilt favor one way or another. Generally speaking though there is usually some way around this and much more skilled players will do better, but joe schmoe after an awesome game will always end up on the shitter team one way or another next game.

Egerbur, in that look tho

Thats a smooth way to see god.

HorreC, in I have never understood that.
@HorreC@kbin.social avatar

I am this mans, and to be honest if there is no wind, I wouldnt be wearing the hoodie. Just run super hot. If I could afford it I would keep the house at like 62 and still have the ceiling fans on.

Viking_Hippie,

Might I recommend Denmark? Too damn cold here much of the year and other than the weather, which it sounds like you might enjoy, it’s an excellent place to live!

aulin,

We can still easily wear shorts at least part way into October in Denmark. It’s a great place to live. I do hate the rain though.

Viking_Hippie,

Not sure I’m with you on the shorts, but as for the reat, I couldn’t agree more! 🤜🤛🇩🇰

lal, (edited )

That’s a very southern idea of “cold” though.

It’s still autumn on the Canadian east coast, and temperatures are now staying below the freezing point. Still seeing the occasional shorts wearer, now with boots on.

spicytuna62, (edited )
@spicytuna62@lemmy.world avatar

As an Okie, I’ll admit that our “cold” isn’t truly cold. Our coldest nights on average are like -3°C. In fact, the coldest it’s ever been in my neck of the woods is -25°C, and that was that freak polar vortex that knocked out power in Texas for several days in Feb '21. The coldest verified recorded temperature in Oklahoma happened in Nowata in Feb 2011, where it dipped to -35°C. And that was also a freak occurrence, and it was 24°C again within a few days. In my part of the state, it gets above freezing point about 355 days of the year. Rarely do we ever spend a full 24 hours below freezing, though it happens once or twice a year. We also get a decent snow or two most years, but it never sticks around for long. New snow is beautiful. But once it’s a day or two old, it’s disgusting. It’s nice that it all melts away within a few days.

And yes, I am a white man, and I wear shorts all year and in any weather.

Don’t ask me about the hot, humid hell we become over summer.

plzExplainNdetail,

Someone once described Oklahoma’s weather pattern with this list:

It’s missing Tornado Seasons 1-6, but I’ll allow it.

Pistcow, (edited )

Am white guy that cab spend hours in a -10F freezer with just a lightweight coat and beanie. I wear shorts as long as it’s not windy and walked a mile in -15F one winter. That was a bit cold and had to take a warm bath after that.

HorreC,
@HorreC@kbin.social avatar

I was born in Minnesota, so I know cold, in the south they think snow is cold, they are unaware of so cold it cant snow. I still shovel snow in my crocs

fruitSnackSupreme,

Good for you lol

Holyhandgrenade,
@Holyhandgrenade@lemmy.world avatar

I agree that snowy weather isn’t that cold. But shovelling snow in crocs?? There is no worse feeling than that particular cold wetness of snow getting in your shoes. I wear a big snowsuit to prevent any snow from getting on me.

ShakeThatYam,
@ShakeThatYam@lemmy.world avatar

The shorts kind of help feel warmer if you are bundled up everywhere else. It focuses the feeling of cold on your legs where it feels less bothersome.

Ok, sorry. I’ve ruined your perfectly nice comment with sophomoric humor. I apologize.

Norgur, in Every time

Wait... Are you telling me that actual cooperative teamwork is more important than some rank/stats/status symbol? Tryhards hate this trick!

BorgDrone, in I have never understood that.

I live near a university that attracts quite a few international students/lecturers and I’ve often witnessed the exact opposite of this. You’re outside in the middle of summer, trying not to die of a heat stroke, when a obviously non-native person walks by wearing a winter coat and a hat.

nixcamic, (edited )

That was me, I live in the tropics near the mountains where you can go from 42⁰ at crazy humidity near sea level to 15⁰ up around 2000m in about an hour’s drive. I lived near sea level and when we were kids we’d meet halfway with friends who lived in the mountains. They’d be running around in just swimsuits and I’d be sitting on the side wearing 3 layers.

RaoulDook,

Yep I saw some Indians near Atlanta who were wearing big coats when it was just a hair below 70 F outdoors. I was out there loading stuff into my car in shorts and a T-shirt and they looked at me funny.

The opposite of that, that I also saw was my portly Eskimo friend, who was in shorts and a T-shirt in the actual winter time when I needed a big coat. He was like “You think this is cold?”

aulin,

I mean room temperature is 20 °C (68 °F) so wearing shorts and T-shirt should be the norm imo. If it isn’t colder outside than inside, why put on more clothes?

papabobolious,

Wind is a factor too, also if it’s 20c inside imma be cold.

aulin,

Wind is a factor too

True

also if it’s 20c inside imma be cold.

Seriously? I’ve seen people go to 18 °C on the thermostat but not above 20. Are you from a super hot place?

papabobolious,

I’m from Sweden which I don’t consider super hot, but most people I come across would have their homes warmer than 20c. More like 23-25.

aulin, (edited )

Believe it or not, I’m also from Sweden, and most people I know have it set to 19-20, and one guy 18. I’ve never seen 23(!) I can’t believe they’re native Swedes.

tastysnacks,

Hawaii here. Our line is about 70 too. That’s when we wear socks with out slippers.

Webster,

It was 50 last night when I took the dog for a walk. I was too lazy to put on socks, so it was in sweats with sandals and bare feet. Was surprisingly easier on the feet than I expected

shalafi,

Wife is a 98lb. Pilipino living in NW Florida.

72°: “Babe! It is so cold!”

She literally has no idea how to dress warmly. Trying to get the idea of layers into her head, but I’m failing so far.

Decoy321, (edited )

Can confirm, layers don’t exist in some cultures. It’s either tank top or parka. No in between.

ParsnipWitch, (edited )

When I visit friends in northern Germany they also run around like it’s summer when it’s close to winter cold for me.

I had a friend jump into the North Sea to rescue a beer crate we put into the water for staying ice cold that swam away. While I was freezing on two blankets near the fire in a coat.

That beer was also too cold. None of their behaviour made any sense.

papertowels, (edited )

The thought of warming up beer to make it more drinkable disturbs me

uis,
@uis@lemmy.world avatar

How cold is air?

Makeshift,

This is me. I have had people say I make them sweat by looking at me when I wear a sweater in 75F just because it’s not yet hot enough to make me take it off.

TheGiantKorean,
@TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world avatar

See this in Dubai. 70F outside and several people were bundled up.

SlopppyEngineer,

All over Asia every time the temperature in the evening goes from scorching to bearable for me, everybody there starts pulling out sweaters and jackets.
