What's a thing that ALWAYS happens in a CS2 Premier game?

Say, I tend to play B on Dust 2 CT side as an anchor. And every fucking time I play it, my teammates get rushed (for example by Mac-10's) on long and die within 10 seconds, leaving me in a terrible spot. Like the fuck am I supposed to even do in this 5vs3? Leave B? Push tunnels? I am so completely fucked.

Or a teammate who plays a position that always needs to be mollied right at the start (Ramp on Mirage, B site Ancient) and of course they don't throw it and got rushed.

What are some things that ALWAYS happen in a CS2 Premier game?

Is there any country that could be described as an ENEMY of Britain and the EU, even though the two sides are not fighting yet?

Imagine this scenario:

  1. Country is not at war with the EU and Britain and technically no soldiers have died yet

  2. However, nobody (except for the most smooth-brained of useful idiots) has any delusions about the fact that this country is an ENEMY. Like, not in an exaggerated sense - an actual, obvious enemy that would gladly destroy the democratic block if given the chance.

Do you think such a country exists?

Is it possible that due to many hours played I have a better understanding of the game than players my elo, but am held back by other factors?

Hello guys. I have to admit something shameful. I am on roughly 2100 hours and I am not that high-ranked - my highest so this season (after coming back to the game after a long break) has been 14.999 Premier. I have since dropped to 13K due to an unlucky streak and haven't had the time to play the game and get back up. I do honestly believe I am probably around 14 to 15K skill wise. But I am solo queing in EU and it's not easy.

Now, the thing is, I do genuinely believe that to some extent, I understand the game better than most other people at this elo, which I attribute to my experience with 2K+ hours. For example, I know that if we win the pistol and lose the very next round (so it's now 1-1), then force buying is the sensible option. Instead, many people my elo will go eco and play the next with an MP9 and some util.

I kind of understand basic concepts like mid control or defaults. For example, I like to play A on Mirage (usually under Palace or scaffolding) and I tend to call that at the start of the CT side. Many times have I seen 2 other people come A with me, completely ignoring Window, Con or Short. As if they did not realize too many people on the same site is not great.

So. I have failed to get past 14.999 because my mechanics can be spotty. Like, that's definitely a factor. I am not saying I am a great player. SIMULTANEOUSLY, I do feel like I probably understand the game better than most people of this elo due to my experience.

I was wondering, is that possible or am I tripping? Like, I have a solid understanding of the game but my mechanics might somewhat hold me back?

It's strange that there is zero diverticulosis awareness being spread (e.g. in schools)

All my life I assumed that most problems with an unhealthy lifestyle or food are reversible. Like a person that's overweight can lose it in a simple way.

You would think there would be at least some mention in schools of the fact that NOT doing sports and not eating insane amounts of fiber can permanently fuck your colon and your life up in a way that is completely irreversible. I think the average person would utilize that knowledge more than they do, IDK, cosine and sine?

How was I supposed to mean that by 22 (I am now 24) my colon would have those fucking pouches and my life would be fucked?

Zero awareness being spread.

Like (I am not an American) my father is a lawyer, my mother is a teacher (not science). I have zero background in biology/medicine. How would I have learned of the existence and dangers of diverticulosis without specifically researching colon health.

Czemu Polacy nie mają takiego "bzika" na punkcie inwestowania, co Amerykanie? Czemu inwestowanie nie jest u nas "dużą rzeczą"?

Hej wszystkim. Gdy czytam wypowiedzi Amerykanów na Reddicie, to widać, że są świadomi znaczenia, jakie ma inwestowanie. Wiedzą, że brak inwestycji to realna strata przez inflację; rozumieją też, że bez kilkuset tysięcy dolarów w inwestycjach może być ciężko z komfortowym życiem na emeryturze.

Wydaje mi się, że tak nie jest w przypadku Polaków? Czemu Polacy nie inwestują en masse? Nie tworzą rozległych portfolio? Czemu jako naród nie "żyjemy" giełdą, tak jak Amerykanie? Dla nich rynek to znacząca część dnia. Wszyscy żyją tym, jak się tam miewa Tesla czy inne S&P 500.

Np. mój ojciec jest prawnikiem, który zarabia dosyć wyraźnie powyżej mediany krajowej i po ponad 30 latach... nie ma złotówki zainwestowanej. No na tym etapie chyba powinien mieć co najmniej 200 tys. złotych zainwestowane w obligacje, ETF-y itd., mylę się?

Czemu tak u nas jest?

Can you characterise a person that will still vote Republican during the midterms?

Hello. From what I understand, there is going to be a blue wave in the USA, but probably a significant portion of the population will still vote red. That is despite Trump's antics.

I was wondering, can you characterise a person like that? Who are they? What is their education? Why would they vote red after all those debacles?

P.S. I am not an American

Czy 24 lata to za późno, by zacząć inwestować?

Cześć wszystkim. Jestem studentem prawa, za bardzo niedługi czas kończę studia. Nie pracowałem do tej pory (poza obowiązkowymi bezpłatnymi praktykami), ale mam jakieś kilkadziesiąt tysięcy złotych zaoszczędzone. Czy 24 lata to za późno, by zacząć inwestować? Zwłaszcza, że nie mam wykształcenia powiązanego z finansami, tylko z prawem.

​

Generalnie do tej pory robiłem tak, że nieco ponad 10 tys. złotych zostawiałem sobie na koncie, a kilkadziesiąt tysięcy dawałem na lokatę. Na takiej rocznej lokacie byłem w stanie zarobić ponad tysiąc, najlepszym osiągiem było chyba 1458 netto. Bałem się czegoś bardziej ryzykownego. Oczywiście nie chcę inwestować kilkudziesięciu tysięcy, bo muszę mieć oszczędności, ale takie kilkaset złotych na próbę? Czemu nie.

​

Najpierw dałem 50 złotych na taki konserwatywny fundusz inwestycyjny, zajmujący się skupem instrumentów finansowych krótkoterminowych o charakterze dłużnym. To było w marcu, więc przez Iran wartość mojej jednostki jebnęła jak szalona, ale teraz wróciła do jakichś 50,30.

​

Dzisiaj, dosłownie przed chwilą, kupiłem sobie 1 akcję Orlenu za jakieś 130-140 z prowizją i jedną akcję CDPR za 230-240 z prowizją. Chciałbym, po pierwsze, zbierać jakieś dywidendy, a po drugie sprzedać te akcje, gdy wartość wzrośnie. Nie musi to być prędko, mogę trzymać wiele lat. Wiem, że to pewnie "idiotyczna" decyzja i że się ze mnie zaśmiejecie, no ale chciałem spróbować.

​

Btw próbowałem też dzisiaj kupić jednostki w jakimś ETF-ie, ale transakcja była cały czas odrzucana. Dlatego kupiłem te dwie akcje (transakcja przeszła natychmiast).

​

Bardzo boję się to tutaj postować, bo ludzie na Internecie potrafią być bezlitośni... Ale mam nadzieję, że nie napisałem niczego takiego, by sprowokować Was. Miłego dnia!

What would it take for Trump to be classified by scholars and historians as "one of the worst Presidents in U.S. history" after his second term?

Hello everyone. I am European, not American, but I follow your politics closely.

​

The Wikipedia page of Donald Trump states that after his first term, scholars and historians ranked him as one of the worst Presidents in U.S. history. Obviously, his second term is not over, so the editors do not want to mention it.

​

I am curious. What do you think would need to happen for that very same critical reception to be applied to him after his second term?

​

If his first term was bad, what would need to happen in the second one for that description to remain valid?

Can pros pull off a 3vs4 with ZERO information against the average Premier team?

Imagine the following situation. It's 3 Pros against 4 average Premier players on Dust 2. The pros are all on mid and have AK-47's, full health. But they have ZERO information and it's 1 minute to go. Let's say they also have NO utility.

​

Can they pull it off? Like, for example, can they group outside of B and then contact into the site? Like can they win this?

Like I am talking about a situation with no info and no util where you have to rely on "raw aim".
