Gunboats pocket means that you don't take as much heals/Uber and your demo and scouts get more of it. Scouts are currently widely considered to be the best class in the game so giving them more heals/Uber is considered to be a more optimal way to play tf2. Having a pocket scout, like a lot of top teams do in the current meta also means that you don't need a shotgun as much because your scout is there to clean up your dmg.

However, this is only an optimal way to play at higher levels which is where scouts truly hit their peak and their usefulness. Lower level players tend to parrot what's done at higher levels without really understanding why it's done, so you see shit like shotgun pockets being called out for being noobs "because prem/invite pockets run gunboats" and at the same time, having teams with gunboats pockets that still play passive as shit and take 40% heals while their scouts just overextend and feed with no buffs or uber

Something to do with astronomy/astrophysics

My country is kinda shit though and j don't wanna move so went to med school instead

K so basically I've got a Panasonic Viera TV. I wanna watch some HSBS 3D movies with my parents but since their english aint too good we need subtitles. The problem is that .srt subtitles glitch out on 3D (instead of being centered, they start in the right corner of the screen, get cut off and end on the left corner of the screen, I think it's because they're displayed separately on both videos from the hsbs so when the 3D merges them, they bug out and only display the second half of the left video and the first half on the right video). I tried converting the .srt file to every possible format that supposedly works with SBS 3D (.ass .ssa .sub .idx) using this site but my TV can't read any of them.

Is there any way to fix this? Or can I just hardcode the subtitle into the movie? If so, would that take ages to do on an i3 laptop? Also, which program should I use and which subtitle format?

I read the books back in 2013 and loved them (fair warning though, they're fairly long and he spends a lot of time describing what everyone is wearing, what the food looks like etc and I do mean a lot of time). I tried watching the show but it just felt so rushed compared to the books and so focused on gore and titties to get those sweet shock value views so I gave up on watching it after season 3

You probably got it from this thread

Your laptop isn't even that bad for a 10 year old game. I've got a laptop with an i3 and Intel hd graphics 3000 and I get 90 fps on mids, 120+ everywhere else with comanglia's and dx8

So, have you checked the basics? Is your laptop set to high performance and not high battery life? Did you check the actual ingame video options and made sure everything is set to low? Afaik none of the fps configs touch those options, you have to do it yourself.

Also are you running tf2 with everything else closed or do you have 200 other tasks open at the same time? Check your task manager with tf2 open and see if anything else is eating resources

Have you tried doing -autoconfig before changing configs

Bind another key to +jump and see if it works?

Try tapping once when you're at 200 ammo, it'll remain at 200

Switched from ctrl to shift a few years ago, it's more comfy

How dare they like their own things and not our thing! This is unacceptable

400 respondents so far. The results are interesting

- 64% were beaten, 36% were not
- 52% think corporal punishment is justified, 48% think it's not
- out of those that have received physical punishment as children, 65% think it's justified
- out of those that have not received physical punishment as children, 72% think it's not justified
- out of those that think it's justified, 82% were beaten as kids, 18% were not personally beaten
- out of those that think it's not justified, 53% were not personally beaten and 47% were

As for my personal experiences, I'm a 22 year old slav so my parents did beat me as a kid (mostly my mom, my dad is bae). However, compared to some of the things posted here, mine was mild. It was almost exclusively getting single slaps when I went out of line or my mom chasing me around the house trying to whack my ass with a rolling pin (not the thick American style rolling pins, ours are thin and long, basically a rigid switch).

Personally, I don't know if beating your kid is justified or not. Sure, you can make the argument that you can always sit them down and say just the right words in just the right way that'll make them stop misbehaving, but in reality, that's not always the case. Parents are human too. They don't always know what to say. They have jobs, they have stressful lives, and kids can sometimes be insufferable little cunts. Sometimes they either refuse to listen or are too young to understand what's being said to them (like Osiris's response back on page 1).

So yeh, I think that physical punishment is justifiable but only if it's used as a last resort, not as a lazy shortcut to discipline.

As for it being traumatic, well, I think it all depends on the culture/zeitgeist (and whether your relationship with your parents is otherwise healthy and loving). Everyone my age got whacked by their parents as a kid and no one considers him/herself traumatized because it's just the way things were for us. Same goes for even older generations where it was normal to not only get beaten by your parents, but teachers and more distant relatives too. It might seem barbaric, but since it happened to literally everyone, no one feels it as trauma. But I guess if you grow up in a culture where everyone keeps telling you that if your parents ever laid a hand on you, it's abuse and you should be traumatized, then you will end up traumatized.

And don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that actual abuse doesn't exist and isn't traumatic. All I'm saying is, not all physical punishment is wrong

Edit: added some more stats that I forgot the first time

True but I mean this isn't an actual study or anything, just a little strawpoll I did out of boredom

Just curious. Note that I'm talking about mild physical punishment as a disciplinary measure, not baseless abuse
