"Hungary would be a better place if you didn't beat out the fuse, but each other's" - or "Hungary would be a better place if you'd beat each other's instead of the fuse".

By the way, OP accidentally overlooked the country/place translation, but I'm 100% sure they know, otherwise.

Boring explanation in the spoiler box:

spoiler

To jack off = to beat (it) out/off in Hungarian. E.g. "I beat out/off my dick to this picture of a daisy".

To blow the fuse (...box?) = to beat out/off the fuse in Hungarian. Beat might not be the best translation, and it could be closer to 'slam' or 'pop' or something, but we use the same word ('ver' / 'beat') in both cases.

We also use the term 'blow the fuse' when talking about having enough of something that grinds your gears. Like, "I could still tolerate that ignorant knob, but when he started talking about all the doctors of the world conspiring, that blew the fuse for me. ('beat out/off the fuse for me')" - kind of when you lose it.

That explains. I didn't remember seeing this UI graphics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Re-Volt

Despite the 2/3 majority in parliament, the actual vote head counts were closer to a 45/55 (or 48/52, depending on the source) at the last few elections. This is due to severe gerrymandering, excessive propaganda, oppressing opposition and independent media outlets, and intentionally cutting education funds.

But I'm also both saddened and infuriated by the fact that while it's not the majority, still, HALF of the fucking country still supports this vile, hateful, corrupt, literally evil government.

I guess there's no hope for the country, and it will soon devolve into another Belarus.

Aaaah, I get it now, thanks! I did see the “↑ 4” bits everywhere, but it turns out that every single comment I have looked at had 0 downvotes, and then instead of going ”↓ 0”, it just simply doesn't display downvotes. I thought I was going mad.

I liked the previous implementation, though. To me it seemed more clear.

I might be a bit confused, but I just went to my settings to see, and both "show upvotes" and "show downvotes" were ticked already, by default. I refreshed the page (Ctr+Shift+R), and it's still the same.

Diesel, gasoline or electric?

 

On a slightly more serious note: I really wonder what's going on in your mind when you press that button and cross anyway. Is it just because "I don't care", or is there more to it? If so: what?

EDIT: In case it's because you don't care: why do you press the button then?

 
 

So the 2 guys I usually play with are champ2 and dia3-champ1 level. I'm also champ1. NONE of us were ever in GC, not for a single match. We play 2v2s and 3v3s, depending on who's available.

This season we got absurd amount of GCs in our matches. Both 2v2 and 3v3, but 3v3 seemed even more infested with GC titles. Interestingly, whenever they actually say something about their rank, they say they are GCs in another game mode, or that they played a long time ago. But most of them still do stuff that we have never been able to, and the rest is just as bad as us, or even worse (which isn't too rare). But this many "GC in another mode" players, suddenly, out of thin air?

What happened suddenly?

Before this season, seeing a GC title in our games was definitely a rarity. We saw ~2-3 every season, and that was pretty much it. Whenever we ran into one before, they actually played like a GC and they hard carried their suspiciously clueless teammates. This season GC matches are more abundant than the ones without.

Is it because the player numbers are falling so hard that Psyonix resorted to widening the matchmaking search, allowing significantly better (or worse) players to match against us, just to keep the waiting times low? Now that I think of it, as many GCs we get against us, we definitely don't see just as many clueless opponents. If it's not the waiting time, then why did matchmaking change so drastically? Is it boosting? Because that didn't just happen overnight between the two seasons.

What do you think?

EDIT: People starting ranked at a lower rank than what they had in the previous season also can't be the reason, since we would also be somewhere in low diamond then; it's the middle of the season, so I doubt THIS many people whould start their freshly deranked season now.
