general

All I asked for was the spider man poll, and this is how I’m treated?

What's the benefit of blocking vs ignoring? Feels like ignoring just has everything without people knowing

Which yes I know it says it on the thingy, but it barely seems to have any benefit

Discord blocking is weird

I generally like blocking better than ignoring, because I think it's more transparent

But Discord blocking isn't like that, and if anything you end up worse for it and the person you blocked doesn't know

so in shared servers they'll be talking and you'll see that, and sorta have to exclude yourself

(I also block zero people on Discord, so I'm not the target audience either way)

U can tell if you’re blocked by trying to react to their msgs

Itll undo them if you are

yeah but they have to suspect it and do something

not that its some super high bar

Ignoring is just blocking but gayer

It's strange how silly blocking v ignoring is on discord. On Signal, blocking never delivers any of their messages to you and they can keep sending away no problem, they'll never know. But on discord you still get the "ignored message" or "blocked message".. it's pointless

see, I think that's gay, even if I get why people want it to work that way

honestly, idk, I think its an unsolvable problem

When you block them, it should hide all their msgs to you, but then discord wumpus ai should start responding to them for you Kappa

lol

Discord is going to be the testbed for AI communities

I can feel it coming

I had a shitty break up and to just... ah, goodbye and block and move on with my life was great

Granted SMS blocking sucked

maybe I'll feel different if one day I really need the block function

it should be very easy to just not send unread indicators from blocked or muted accounts

I block dumbasses

And bots

same

also Phijkchu dream

Regi's cool autodriving tesla showed up somewhere, and Pika, Umbreon, Gent/Polu, and I got in, and it drove off presumably to take us to Regi. it stopped at some shady warehouse and we followed a trail of pokemon cards to an oil drum, in which Regi had been liquified into a pink-silvery sludge by some rival Pokemon card mafia. We went to leave but the car was sad without its master, so we had to go back and get the Regi drum loaded in. As we were driving back the Phijkchu HQ the car was still sad and was making depressing beeps and Gent was making fun of it, so it drove off the side of a bridge and sank, I survived and managed to unbuckle Umbreon and the oil drum, Pika was physicsing himself so I figured he'd be fine (he wasn't) and Gent was all spun up into a cocoon using his seatbelt because the car was taking him down with it. Umbreon died at some point on the surface while I wasn't looking, so I poured a little of Regi out and put Umbreon in too. I paddled to shore, put the barrel down, and went to sleep

I'm sure there's some moral to this story

Nice

Ive been finishing dexter so this is a relevant dream

https://x.com/Dexerto/status/2078227011672187382 regi I am sorry for your pasta losses

I can only assume you were the scalper

I still wish it was a battlepass

but I guess companies only do that for mobile orders

If i spend 500 at an olive garden in like 1 year i want them to treat me like a king and give me tier 100 style cutlery

what is the period of never ending pasta?

$100 would break even in 5-10 visits

This is such an over-the-top collab https://us.ugreen.com/pages/ugreen-honkai-star-rail

idk why HSR always seems to be Hoyo's favorite

it's alled "ugreen" and yet it's primarily blue/teal/toothpaste green at best, not even proper green

this is why i don't play these games

ugreen is one of the few good companies

soccerposting

but France is being humilated rn

soccerposting

England is being humiliated rn

good

soccer haters are going to call this the match of the tournament because there were way too many goals

The Japanese comments also point out that the no defense game let Mbappe score more than Messi is likely to in the final, so he probably gets top scorer of the tournament off this.

did any of you bet real money on this?

no

sports betting is not worth it anymre

i think the only gambling i can get behind is blackjack

unless its like friendly betting

then maybe i could play poker and not feel like im just burning my cash

sports betting might as well be flipping a coin for me, since i know literally nothing about sports, except super super specfic stuff lol

nah, hit up polymarket to gamble on the number of times the Queen of England will fart this month

Betting on a glorified exhibition match doesn't make sense to me. Neither team is trying so its way too high variance.

i think those have to be uhh how do you say, money laundering schemes

yeah the people who already know win a lot

what do you mean i can "bet" in 11 cent intervals on if it will rain tommorow or not

There used to be a lot of EV in sportsbetting, it's mostly gone now, and if you are spending time to snipe the few places it remains, you're better off trading stocks

and yeah, idk how Polymarket arrests aren't more public

thats the sort of thing they should be televising weekly

A lot happen, but they're way too under-the-radar, other than the really funny ones like Trump's teleprompter operator last week

there was that one blatant clip of the guy at the oscars saying something like "if you bet on me saying potato on polymarket you just made a lot of money" and that was for sure straight up an attempt of skewing the market, so i have to imagine what they are doing that isn't nationally broadcast for people to watch on television (i also have no idea about any of this so im kinda talking out of my ass to be clear lol)

I mean, everyone who works for the DoW, knows when drone strikes or w/e are happening and retarded 19 y/o soldiers think they'll get away with betting on it, and they all get caught

What's an EV, specificly the kind that appear in sportbetting. And why did they disappear? Did they all evolve into Umbreons?

which is why its weird we don't publicize that part of it more

with college athletes, when they bet on games (and get caught like they always do) it's a huge public matter

Once they are released into the wild, they split into their 5 natural forms, the IV's and go their seperate ways, or so im told

but for w/e reason the attempted Polymarket money laundering isn't

yeah im not sure why they dont report on it (im sure someone very important is making a lot of money and that is why)

the media is too fixated on complaining about routine military flyby stunts

ok hot take, they're cool and all but the last one was genuinely too close

did someone almost get live leaked by a plane?

What actually is an EV in regards to polymarket?
