▲ 5 r/Rants

I'm tired of the loud minority of women hating on men.

Hey 22/F, I'm like ultra uber gay (so before some idiot tries to be like "YoUr JuSt a PiCk me.") - No I'm not.

My thoughts are sort of a mess and may come off as offensive in some way. I am sorry in advance, I tried to structure it as best as possible. As well as censor myself, but this is literally driving me up a wall.

[Edit: The paragraph that was here was misinformation, it has been deleted.]

Edit 2: This is not a post about society or how society works, this is a post about minority of women bashing on random men ONLINE. This isn't about politics or why the current world is a Partiarchy or power dynamics between men or women. Just stop bashing on Jim who works a 9-5 for your problems (this is literally it) please stop turning it into something it's not.

To put it bluntly, I do not like MISANDRISTS or Misogynists (but that can be another rant for another day)

I hear the same arguments. That basically boil down to: Man Bad! Woman Good. Guys it isn't a fucking competition. But these people take every opportunity to just bash on men. Then they are same people wondering why the fuck no man wants to go near them. (You just listed every reason you hate them you clever girl. It's almost like spreading hate doesn't help you get boys.)

Here's an example, men mental health awareness month.

Maybe I'm like chronically online, but some girl was like ultra insensitive about the fact that men have struggles just like women. They're fucking humans just like you, you actual bafoon. Just remembering this makes me angry. I should stop. It's just like how fucking BRAIN DEAD are you to think that people would agree with you?

They're humans just like you or did we forget that in your blind rage because, "men are meant to tough it out." - They're not, men are more often going to (alt+f4) than women. (This is a fact if you search it up online collected by WHO and you can probably find more.)

I just got into like an argument with some idiot. She was like, "It isn't that hard, why can't men hold each other accountable." And it's like where did your brain cells go seriously? Like did your mom drop you on the head as a child? Or what the fuck happened to you?

Okay let me like break down this argument down to the core.

  1. Men like most people will not hold themselves accountable on a stranger's behalf because guess fucking what? They're STRANGERS THEY DON'T KNOW EACH OTHER. Example: John murdered someone. Micheal from HR in Russia isn't gonna hold John Accountable he doesn't even know who John is?

  2. What you're asking for is unrealistic. Why should every man hold each other accountable? It just isn't possible there's literal billions of them.

HOLD YOURSELF TO THE SAME RIDICULOUS STANDARDS YOU PUT ON MEN THEN.

I was talking to my friend I just remember talking to him and being like, "I fucking can't, I swear this is a CIA psyop there's no fucking way people are this stupid..."

This was by the way explaining the same thing to 3 different girls every time. Like how clear do I have to be? Do I have to give the same lecture to 1 million people, like fuck me I guess, I guess critical thinking is out the window.

WHY WON'T STRANGERS WILL TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR ANOTHER STRANGERS ACTIONS?!?!

OMFG it's ALMOST LIKE THEY DON'T KNOW EACH OTHER YOU FUCKING (insert insult of choice in here)

I fucking can't with these people, I will be put in a mental institution because I refuse to believe these people are real.

I actually really want to talk to one. Just to tell them how stupid they are.

And yes, I like hanging out with men I think they're easier to talk to, they are in my experience more open with their thoughts and opinions on things.

But okay, I've listed out the reasons. Where does this lead us?

Well, it gives rest of us a bad reputation, which in turn leads to turning a few Men into misogynists which we do not need more of. Eg: "Women Stupid, Women bad." which only adds to the cycle of hate.

Now I understand this isn't all women or all men, but I'm sick of just opening up the Internet and seeing this stuff happen.

Alright I'm done ranting..thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

Crappy Striker Deck Part 2 - Electric Boogaloo

Upgrades

+1 Engage - Yes I'm finally running 3 of them

+2 Lemnigate - Finally recycling

+2 Droll and Lock Bird

+ 3 Pair Bear Scare

[Pair Bear Scare] vs The Fallen & The Virtuous

Simple answer: Dude...I'm not paying $60 for 3 decks or $30 for 3 cards. I'm not going to a regional or YCS. So calm down.

Searching for the deck at maybe $10 I heard some places do it at. So $30 for a bunch of staples + FNV might be worth looking into.

So the cards I needed finally came in, I went 1-3

I did worse but I'll explain!

So I went against R.B without blow up power the dark Hole used to provide me, I couldn't get a rhythm going to be in a postion to outgrind them.

Next was burning abyss goblin biker, I screwed up the first game not setting the backrow. I got won the second game and they bricked the third.

The game after was against KT, this one I should've won. I think I went second and broke their board apart and just OTKed. I went First and ended up losing. But this is the fun part, I got Pot of Slothed 3rd game. Not realising I had an Ash in hand my backrow got wiped, and I lost the game not having any interaction left. I realised after. We were laughing about I'm salty at myself for not realising earlier. But it was funny!

Last game was vs Clown I got Dified then Marco Cosmoed and just...couldn't win with everything going into banishment. I had a chance earlier if I didn't misplay. Because Raye Roze for Zero would've won me the game. To pop the Dimension Fissure. But I had both Roze in hand and didn't use them to Special Summon.

So changes possibly

Adding the Dark Hole Back so I have more blow up potential.

Thinking about siding the Ghost Ogre, I need them against LAD, but its not so important to where I need them constantly. Though I do want to keep them in for LAD since some people might be switching to them.

Evenly Matched might be a good card against R.B or just swam decks in general.

When Toon FTK comes out I'm dipping out the format, nope nope nope.

Anyway that's all. See ya!

Best Cards to replace The Fallen & The Virtuous (FNV). If you're on a budget.

So currently, The Fallen & The Virtuous is quite expensive and some people aren't willing to pay the price tag. So here are 3 alternatives below, that do SIMILAR things, for the people on a budget.

All Card Mentioned here are Quick Play Spells, to be consistent with The Fallen & The Virtuous.

- Pair Bear Scare
Currently used in Genesys (an Alternative Format sanctioned by Konami), this card is a non-targeting Monster destruction. It's down side is the once per duel effect of giving the opponent the card at the end of the turn as it turns it from a monster destruction to a life point gainer for both you and your opponent until your opponent uses the card or all your copies are in the graveyard. This card's upsides are it's frees up extra deck space.

- Offerings to the Doom
This card targets and destroys one FACE UP monster at the cost of not being able to draw next turn. The upsides are you don't get the secondary effect of Pair Bear Scare and again you free up Extra Deck Space.

- Super Polymerization
Discard a Card, Fusion summon a monster using material from either field. If you have the targets such as Mud Dragon of the Swamp. This card can be very useful to get rid of problematic monsters, since it can't be responded to. Upsides are it can't be responded to and can bypass targeting and destruction protections.

None of these cards can be searched out normally, and cannot be searched at the end of the turn like Albion can with FNV so choose the one you think suits your current deck best :D

My Crappy Striker Deck went 2-2

I went to locals and the deck went 2-2.

Yes you are seeing that correctly I am running 2 Engage, Eagle Booster and unironically running Dark Hole and yes it does say Magic Card on it, since it's a really old version of Dark Hole, thank you for noticing.

Good news is people at my locals are willing to give me the stuff to finish this deck off.

I lost games to Kewl Tune (it was a close game) and this werid Ryzel Musketeer deck. (Which was strange, I couldn't a grasp on it quick enough)

I won against RB. RB game actually came down to a dice roll since it was 1-1 so we just rolled for the win. Since the guy didn't want us to end on a double loss. (Yes against the rules but its locals I'm not fighting for a spot for top cut YCS)

I won against Clown I got Marco Cosmo first game, they then proceeded to brick two games in a row...

Anyway I had fun, this deck is getting upgraded with new cards, so hopefully I can perform better, I'll keep you updated with another post.

That's about it...see ya

Why can't people park their cars?

Peak Open World Experience. Labelling this 10/10 would recommend

Okay, give me a second. I'm going to crash out.

Please park your fucking cars, or at least get them out the way.

If you are this person, YOU ARE STUPID, YOU HAVE NO BRAIN CELLS GO GET SOME. Please. I asked nicely so you have to do it now. :D

If you leave your car in an inconvenience spot, where people have to move around you, or shove their car through a tiny gap. YOU ARE THE PROBLEM.

I really hate it when people just park their shit in the middle of the road, and make themselves what amounts to a mobile road block.

Please park your shit, it takes 3 extra seconds. If I cannot fit my Stryker through, without touching your car, you've parked it wrong. Or I've crashed into it (When you've parked it properly) but that's just a skill issue at that point.

This happens MOSTLY AT NAVAL people just leave their cars and just shrug their shoulders and leave it in the MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, people need to get in. They JUST park in the middle of Naval Base's narrow roads in front of the Tank Traps so nobody else can get through, and they don't take the side clearings AND IF YOU DO, DON'T BLOCK THEM EITHER, to move out the way. Also don't park in the middle of the cross roads so people can take the other road down. Leave both roads open.

This pictured happened in Fort, I could not get my Stryker through, DON'T BLOCK THE ROAD! Please use the road blocks and park in front of them so other vehicles can get through, use your brain. Don't block the front gate either...move off to the side.

If your car is destroyed, that's a different story, not really much you can do about that.

I know people will continue doing this and I'm pretty much just shouting at clouds. But it's so annoying.

Moral of the story, don't leave your vehicle in narrow choke points, people need to be able to move through them.

Anyway...that's about it...see ya.
