The key with this method is that you need to have people to help you get better, either through being team mates or opponents. A group of friends to soften the losses/mistakes and provide feedback is better than any amount of MMR spam. But if you want to never be challenged and always be frustrated, solo match making will get you that all the time.

It is also a stupid quote and not even in the vernacular of the era. They didn't use "security" to talk about personal safety. | ||

And you can chart the path to that war from our first political conflicts when we founded the country. Like classism in the UK, it is something that is hard to express people from other nations. On top of that, we are huge. I spent the first couple years of my conscious life (somewhere around the age of 6) living in Grand Rapids, Michigan in a not-at-all-nice part of town. About half of my neighbors were black, we lived next door to a lady I literally only ever knew as "Big Momma" and my interactions with any of the kids in my neighborhood were pretty closely monitored. On my block there was a family whose father was a white supremacist, a (black) friend of my eldest brother who, by the time we moved, was getting in trouble with the law for selling drugs (he was 13/14ish), fairly rampant theft and crime in the area, tons of poverty... I've seen some of the struggles firsthand. One of the most obvious cases (and a story my mom has retold a few times) was a case where there was a man beating the shit out of a woman on the road in front of our house, like full on screaming and hitting and not at all okay. My mom called the police, and after a few minutes of talking she was asked the question "What race are the individuals involved?". She told them they were black. The police never showed. I get it (it meaning "traditional" US racism). Racism/xenophobia isn't a uniquely American problem, though the US does have its own unique problems with racism. For the most part from my experience its always felt like cultural barriers make it really hard to interact with people while maintaining a healthy respect for who they are... and sometimes that overlaps with conflicts with the law and makes it all a bit hairy. Living in a bunch of different places adjacent to a bunch of different cultures pretty much taught me that we all suck equally, and to try not to shit on anyone else's culture. | ||

When teaching, "work" tends to mean "get students enough to pass most of the stuff on the final before I curve it." Just Queen's things, I guess. :X | ||

Command line and copy pasting from notepad all day. why does it matter mysql should show it in a comprehensible manner in shell your input is still the same regardless of gui vs command line actually maybe if you query through php or something you don't have to append ; or \G but that's about it | ||

I may just start doing it on my own, tbh. | ||
