So I just spent a competitive match on Inferno. Started off on the T side, got AUG-raped from round 2 onward until the half. Won a few games (2-3) thanks to teammates suicide rushing with P90s and I used muh situational awareness to surprise a few CTs, I even managed to pick up an AUG at the very end of a game, but I tossed it to a fellow T in the next spawn (he was very confused to receive it.)

Then the halftime switch. From the second round onward, my whole team was on the AUG rapetrain and dominating. I continued to buy a mix of MP7 and M4A4, and spent every spawn listening to my team called me retarded and yell at me in various fashions, and every time I died I got to listen to the sw

New to CS:GO (been playing for a few weeks now), so forgive me if this is an ignorant question, but I feel frustrated.

What is going on with casual matchmaking? For the last two days, every single time I use the matchmaking feature it drops me in a brand new game populated only with bots. And before that, for a day, it was dropping me into bot only games about 70% of the time.

At first I thought it might just be my internet crapping out and causing the game to put me in bot games instead of dropping me into a game where I'd have high ping, but I can browse the servers and play with decent ping, but I don't want to have to server browse all the time. What is the deal?

I'm curious because every other mutant type is pretty readily explained as a direct result of experimentation (Controllers and Burers were prisoners used in Soviet era military experiments), as a result of mundane effects of The Zone (radiation caused the mutated dogs and pigs), or as effects of some of the mindwarping of the zone (snorks and zombies).

But bloodsuckers don't really seem to fall under any of those categories. They aren't one-off experiments, and all the lore says that their numbers are growing which indicates they are sustainable. Mundane radiation would not cause something like them. And the mindwarping leaves a mutant recognizable human and doesn't give them special abilit

Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF

I'm starting out investing, and have already put 20% of what I have into VTI (this is aside from my Roth IRA). I'm looking for another long term, steady growth place to put my money, and SCHD seems like a good, if newer choice than VTI. It also pays out dividends (which VTI has stopped doing?), which I like. The fact that SCHD is near its 52 week high seems worrying because I don't want to be caught in a bubble, but on the other hand it is a newer ETF and is designed to steadily go up, so I shouldn't be worried, right?

It involves this woman, whom I thought of as Mississippi Ninja Chick:

Was there any significance to the multiple close up shots of her? I kept expecting a reveal or a plot twist involving this background character.

Unrelated: Did anyone else get a Blues Brothers vibe during the first Candyland shootout due to the absurd amount of reinforcements that poured in?

Anything from furniture types & styles, to paintings, to kitchen essentials. What kind of style do you prefer? What have you done or have seen others do that was really cool with their place?

(This is obviously now assuming laws don't change and that the market returns to normal at some time.)

What is the best upper I can get with the absolute shortest functional barrel? I also eventually want to put a short suppressor on the end. (HD rifle, I don't want to go deaf if I ever use it as such.) I would prefer a free float barrel as long as I can mount a flashlight.

I'm thinking and old lower will do right? I want to put a good trigger in it, maybe a Geissle?
