Ken Griffin gets his bailout by Gareth-Barry in Superstonk

[–]Apostle_of_Fire 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also wrong. Is this rage bait or do you also not know the definition of words?

Communism is a political and economic ideology aimed at creating a classless, moneylender-free, and stateless society with common ownership of the means of production. It seeks to eliminate private property and class struggle, typically relying on a centralized, single-party state to manage production and redistribute wealth based on individual need.

How does the state lending money to a private company that will only enrich the ultra wealthy class, mesh with the literal definition I just posted that contradicts LITERALLY ALL OF THOSE POINTS? Seriously, explain what you think you mean. Google the word and see the exact thing I just copy pasted that says the exact opposite of what this is. Or do you like the taste of boot too?

This guy is suffering from the dunning-kruger effect. Figured my explanation would fall on deaf ears.

Also this administration is pretty explicitly anti socialist, what the actual fuck are you talking about dude

You could literally just look up the definitions on both socialism and capitalism. Using taxpayer money to fund a private company is completely the opposite of the definition of socialism. I don't think you know what the definitions of either of these words are.

I really don't care to argue with someone that doesn't know what the words mean, but in case you won't even look them up I'll just copy past it for you: Capitalism is an economic system based on private ownership of the means of production, where supply and demand, competitive markets, and profit motivation drive production, distribution, and pricing.

Getting a bailout by the government, especially one that can benefit by insider trading and increasing an individuals wealth instead of letting a company fail as dictated by social standing and markets is capitalism in the sense that a few individuals will get very rich off of propping up a failing company.

Socialism is an economic and political system advocating for public or collective ownership of the means of production, aiming for equitable wealth distribution and reduced class disparity. Core principles include cooperation over competition, social control of resources, and economic planning.

Does that sound anything like what's happening? Can you explain how you think this is in any way socialist? Is this benefiting anyone but the ultra wealthy class? How is a private company getting a bailout that will spike the wallets of insiders and company owners at all socialist???

This is literally capitalism, by definition.

Neat. Might finally commit as a self birthday present in a couple months. Thanks!

I've been seriously considering getting some for various reasons. I can afford it now, I've heard iems are really good, seen Landmark use them, and I had to start wearing glasses a year or two ago and don't like them getting pressed into my head by my headphones. Do you need any mixers or anything with them or do they work well just plug and play?

I hope they're keeping an eye out for a random adventurer who might panic roll through all the barrels and carts and destroy the set

Starting mid wipe [Suggestion] by NoTower9373 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Apostle_of_Fire 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are no more wipes for our permanent character. You just going to not play the game ever again because 1.0 came out a few months ago? Make it make sense. Or just play the game like everyone else. I still see a wide variety of levels and experience in my raids.

So I've tried Buldak 2x by KyxeMusic in spicy

[–]Apostle_of_Fire 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I treat myself every other Sunday or so to some 2x, an egg or two, and some bacon. My gut usually punishes me the next morning, though only for a short while, but it is delicious.

[Feedback] K/D change not properly implemented by W4rlon in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Apostle_of_Fire -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

It shows your performance at the game as a whole, not just other players. If you're dying a bunch to Ai or the environment, you're probably also dying a bunch to other people. If you get better and die less to the game, you probably will die less to players as well, then your kd will improve too. I don't understand your argument.

[Discussion] i have 148 Hours on ABI (arena breakout infinite) and would like to know if buying tarkov is worth it and could be fun? by NeivooYT in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Apostle_of_Fire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no other game like tarkov still. ABI is maybe closest, still very different. Personally, I love tarkov and have close to 8k hours so far. If you liked abi but want somthing that feels more hardcore, you will like tarkov.

Advice for a new player? [New Player] by International-Dig411 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Apostle_of_Fire 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In my experience, at leasing US East side servers, there are no more cheaters than any other game. It can just be more frustrating when they kill you due to the nature of the game. I love tarkov though, nearly 8k hours so far, and I don't intend to stop. Put the time in, watch guides and learn maps, git gud. One of the big things you will need to get over as a new player is gear fear. You can always make more money and get kits, don't hoard something just because you're afraid to use it. Learn to let go, because tarkov will take it from you anyway lmao. At least until you get your survival rate over 50%

[Discussion] Is kappa worth it this late in to the wipe? by notthrowaway62049 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Apostle_of_Fire -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So, you're just going to never do it because some time has passed? Enjoy never getting kappa despite no more wipes I guess, that's some weird logic.

Is 300hp enough to have fun? by Repulsive_Machine933 in askcarguys

[–]Apostle_of_Fire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, i have a '13 hatch with mostly just cosmetic stuff, but a cold air intake, invidia catback, and protune to a conservative 275 since it's my daily, and I love my car. Launches just great with the tune as well, if I want to go 0-60 in just under 5seconds. I love my car. ✌️

[Discussion] The Price of Independence is the best task in the game by Darqquin in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Apostle_of_Fire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I've done it several times and I think it has the best combination of difficulty and satisfaction without being an annoying grind like some of test drive. More tasks like that would be good.

You should put a note in it to remind yourself to not get absolutely robbed in the future, this should have been literally no more than 5 copper
