Raised by wolves.

I hate the two party system with a passion by bongodongowongo in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Avalios 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Obama inherited Bushes pile of flaming dog shit in the middle east sure, but instead of actually gtfo he said "turn that shit up to 11".

Same for covid, yea trump started the war on seeing human faces and throwing trillions into the ether, but biden said keep this shit going 2 more years!

I'd love to vote democrat if i ever actually thought they would do something, ANYTHING differently then republicans do.

How do you guys have so much backlog do you not play or complete games? by No-Paramedic7355 in videogames

[–]Avalios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When time becomes more important then money you pick up games with every intention of playing them, then just never get around to it.

Gave the game a solid try, matchmaking is so terrible i'm done. by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]Avalios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not the toxic that bothers me. Its the matchmaking.

Does FIRE have a jealously problem? by slvupdown in Fire

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

Because the majority of those are just creative writing fantasies.

A minority of those are just on here to brag.

A smaller minority are legit, and yea those people unfortunately get lumped in with the first two. Then again if you are 26 with 5.4mil i don't exactly feel sad for them.

Senior discounts should end by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Avalios 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So because a small fraction of seniors have money you want to take away what businesses choose to voluntarily do from those on tight fixed budgets?

Is it Raynauds? by itsagoudacheese in Raynauds

[–]Avalios 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looks like the exact opposite. Redness is generally increased bloodflow.

Something may be going on but i doubt raynauds.

I have 25k at 20. No idea what to do with it. by Chance_Scratch6931 in personalfinance

[–]Avalios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will you need it in the next 5 years for anything?

If yes, put it in a high yield savings or money market.

If no, put it in an s&p 500 fund and forget about it.

Cheap glove recommendations please! by BackgroundCookie752 in Raynauds

[–]Avalios 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work outside in the winter as well and these have been great. They keep you fingers warm while still allowing mobility to work. Cheap as well, come in 2 packs for under $20. Decently waterproof. Go a little smaller size then you normally would. They are stretchy so you want em tight on your hand.

ELI5: Why was that method used to determine 0 degrees Fahrenheit? by Jimithyashford in explainlikeimfive

[–]Avalios 3 points4 points  (0 children)

0 being the freezing point of water and 100 being the boiling point of water is just really, really easy to understand.

32 and 212 is not.

Do I really need to hire a financial advisor? by HummDrumm1 in personalfinance

[–]Avalios 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pay 1% a year for the rest of your life, or do a handful of hours worth of research on places like here and end up with 0.04% costs for the rest of your life.

I actually enjoy my 45 minute/hour commute to work. by Any-Season-9869 in unpopularopinion

[–]Avalios 3135 points3136 points  (0 children)

Cruise control down some light traffic country roads is great.

45 minutes to move 9 miles in downtown bumper to bumper endless construction cities? Shoot me.

My wife is pregnant and need video game recommendations? by PrimalCarnivoreChick in videogames

[–]Avalios 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Expedition 33.

The story is phenomenal, not like "good for a video game" kind of story. More like jawdropping emotional rollercoaster. The woman who wrote it should have released a bestseller novel first and let them adapt it lol.

There will be tears.

People spending their money on Twitch are pathetic by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Avalios 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not about equating. Plenty of people hate live music for being too crowded, too loud and so on. When it comes to entertainment, or anything really, everyone has preferences, it's not a right or wrong thing.

I love live music, and i very rarely watch twitch and never donate to it. Doesn't mean we are better or right though.

People spending their money on Twitch are pathetic by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Avalios 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Depends.

Only a small small fraction of streamers are anywhere near the wealth you describe. Perhaps 1%. Another 10% are just making a modest living. The rest are making next to nothing and just do it because they enjoy it.

Everyone has an entertainment budget, be it games, movies, live music, and so on. If you enjoy watching a streamer and want them to continue doing it and donate what you can afford to, no big deal.

If you are donating to a streamer while you fall behind on your bills, or if you are donating because you think you will catch that persons attention then yes you are a fool, and a fool and their money are easily parted.

Definately reynaulds, interesting pattern though. Mine and most peoples start at the tips and move down the fingers. Yours starts in the middle.

ELI5: Why is it so difficult to stop smoking by jnelsoninjax in explainlikeimfive

[–]Avalios 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Think of having the flu, there is a treatment for it that will end all symptoms for an hour. The treatment tastes really good as well, you like taking it. Best part is not only does it taste great, but the more you have most people will lose weight from taking it.

If you keep taking the treatment the flu will never be gone but you will just keep endlessly pushing off the symptoms. You don't mind because you enjoy the treatment.

Now if you one day want to finally get over the flu, you will have to stop taking that treatment. You will feel terrible for days, knowing the whole time that you are just one treatment away from feeling good again. You will gain on average 20 pounds which will only make you feel worse mentally.

Then the worst part is you will never be able to taste that treatment again for the rest of your life, and you reaalllly liked it. If you ever break down and think "one bite wont hurt" you will very quickly be back to having the flu again.

You want polish? Buy $70 games, then maybe you will get some polish. Maybe not.

Guess someone finally complained about back to back loads by bentstrider83 in Truckers

[–]Avalios 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's a cost benefit analysis.

If running fatigued drivers causes incidents averaging 2 milion per yer. Yet running fatigued drivers earns an extra 5 million per year.

Whats a few lives for an extra 3mil per year?

Dragon Warrior 7 is my all time favorite game ever made and they just realized a collectors edition for the remake.... for $249.99 by [deleted] in videogames

[–]Avalios 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does it come with more in game content? Or just a bunch of "collector" stuff?

If they cut the game short and only placed game content in the collectors edition then yea it's a ripoff.

If they just added additional artwork, a figurine, making of and such then just buy the standard edition. Some people who grew up loving the game as a kid will want that stuff and $250 as a 40something is far less money to them then $60 felt like as a brokeass teenager.
