Does anyone else not like buying a certain item in Dota because of a personal preference despite it being otherwise reasonable? I don’t like building Mask of Madness because I don’t like the idea of making myself easier to kill. Not really so much because of the minus armor, but the fact that it also silences you. You still see it on position 1 Faceless Void sometimes and I would just rather save a little more gold and get Battlefury instead.

I have that tendency. Sometimes when i play void the game dictates that i go madness(cause they need more for teamfight) i just buy battlefury instead cause i wanted to hit timings faster than early teamfight ability

Yeah but im hopelessly in love with her

emphasis on hopelessly

Mute her in your life

Seriously, love is not a mystical thing. Someone else will attract you and you'll fall in love if you just let yourself love someone else

Not easy to get someone out of your mind but muting helps


Yeah forget about her and get some other girl

he was a pretty racist dude, and particularly disliked the chinese

although it's assumed he turned his back on such views later in his life

He's also been a douchebag to his wife.
I still wanna hear some insightful and funny quotes of his.

Thanks for the link btw. That's all the context I need to forget about what I wrote one line above lol

https://www.theguardian.com/books/2018/jun/12/einsteins-travel-diaries-reveal-shocking-xenophobia

a lot of his observations are on the money in various subtle ways


this was what made me laugh though:

“I noticed how little difference there is between men and women; I don’t understand what kind of fatal attraction Chinese women possess which enthrals the corresponding men to such an extent that they are incapable of defending themselves against the formidable blessing of offspring”

which i read as
'wtf these ladies are so androgynous there has to be some hidden mechanism by which chinese women are utilizing to force these men to copulate with them and produce offspring i see no other alternative'



i think the whole racism thing is overblown though
media overdramatizing as always

his actions later in his life spoke much louder than his private musings

As for Einstein, I think most of European people at that time were equally if not more racist than him

We see how fucking garbage people are every day on social media.
It is kinda naive to assume people from the past are different for whatever reason.
And depending on your sins you can actually atone for them later in life.

I've been a prick to people and think and act like a moronic racist/sexist sometimes. Nobody's perfect but unless we're entirely ignorant about our faults I don't think you should tie a noose out of them.
(I wonder if the saying works in English lol)

Most depressing thing is that that awareness doesn't make you a better person. There's still the shit work to do.

I also hate that my smartphone deliberately does not write shit or fuck via autocorrect and won't let me add the word to the recognizable ones.

Duck fuckin' (custom variants work tho) sit censorship

Perhaps weekly battlecups suffice the desire to compete of lower mmr people

Or dota 2 has less and less new players and older players don't care that much for open qualis

probably dota is slowly dying
