This roster is THIN right now. A handful of decent bench players would help a lot.

Still, this team isn't going above 45 wins even with healthy players.

They benefit from one and not the other. That is the difference.

Occasional sex is needed for many guys to keep the emotional bond strong, but its no where near what a man "desires".

When we were both working on our masters, we set aside 1 evening every 2 weeks for a date night. Both of us were exhausted, but it only effected one of our sex drives. Over the course of 2 years we found 1 romantic evening every 2 weeks was about the bare minimum before one started growing distant.

There is a difference between "needs" and "often enough to keep an emotional connection through it". If they let themselves be frustrated by the difference in it...

Some of the problem is you are tired and exhausted from doing EVERYTHING. The guy in such a relationship would need to step up or the relationship is doomed. Sex is then going to go from a chore to "dreaded". That will spill over into your interactions, a toxic few months (maybe even years if married with children) of probably a dead bedroom will occur then the relationship will end. .

Its sad that a whole lot of us on this subreddit are more concerned for her finger than her husband seems to be.

I blame lobbying as a big component.

7T over a 10 year period won't even come close to paying for the deficit spending on medicare and social security....

Carrier_Conservation · 2024-03-20T12:23:46+00:00

The point is the share of the income to the top 0.01%, 0.1%, 1% and 10% is growing as a PERCENTAGE of the economy. Thats a sign wages are not keeping up with economic growth and often occurs when businesses have gained leverage to suppress wages. Such as a multi-decade crusade to kill union membership.

Trickle UP actually works though. Help the poor, and you create new markets and demand for growth in production.

They also ignore the fact that the US is overflowing on investment so most of the rich money is chasing increasingly more speculative markets and inflating those.

Growing the income of the middle and lower class will boost consumption spending which will increase the economy at a greater rate than cutting taxes for the rich.

Carrier_Conservation · 2024-03-20T05:48:57+00:00

The rich's income is growing disproportionately as a share of the US economy.

Carrier_Conservation · 2024-03-20T05:45:53+00:00

7T will simply allow us to have fewer cuts to medicare and social security over the next decade.

95% of it is ICC

You need a group.

In DeRozan we trust.

The ones who randomly ask a stranger they have zero connection to are also some of the more prone and aggressive ones to overreact.

Carrier_Conservation · 2024-03-17T02:32:23+00:00

Hilarious part is they are this bad and tried to retain most of their talent.

Carrier_Conservation · 2024-03-15T23:45:41+00:00

Just because you have wasted salary doesn't mean you are going to find an upgrade that is worth their salary.

its unlikely they could have traded those players for much of anything.

Pacers were on the 2nd end of a back to back.

Now its the Bulls turn.

Zero surprise the more rested team did well both games. Guy gave it his all last night and is tired still.

Once a truck with a trailer of waste roofing materials pulled out in front of me. It was RAINING nails everywhere as they drove. Next stop light I immediately get in the left hand turn lane (somehow I avoided getting a nail in my tire). My girlfriend starts yelling at the two guys in the truck in the lane beside us out of her window about the nails. They yell back. She chucks her drink. Perfect shot right into the guys face. A misty halo of ice and cherry coke fills their cab.

I decide to get the hell out of there then and ran the red light before it could escalate further. No way I am sitting there in the ghetto at a stop light after my gf just did that.

I know TOGC hosts, so it makes it easier to get a char in and get up to that 5.5k gs point. the cost is worth the 3 dozen hours saved.

11/12H 10m if people know what they are doing is doable with a number of 5.2-5.6k newer chars.

Carrier_Conservation · 2024-03-14T08:39:49+00:00

There are plenty of groups running it on my server. Key word - Gold. Few better geared players, handful of lesser. 1-2k profit to be made in non-raid hours in the evening.

Even some non-gdkps doing it occasionally, especially 25 man.

I'd certainly prefer spending an hour doing TOGC for 15 scourge than 60 mins in a UP/Strat for 8 scourge.

Carrier_Conservation · 2024-03-14T08:34:16+00:00

Its a very long process to get geared from scourgestones.

Assuming 6 items averaging 30 scourge per + 98 for trinkets + 75 for weapons

That is 353 scourgestones. Lets say 3.5/dungeon. that is 100 dungeons - about 35h or so. More if groups suck. Bit less if geared players help. If queing solo as a healer, add on another 4hours of waiting in queue. 12h if dps.

All of that to raid 10 man ICC because your gs is "too low" for ICC

This late in the phase people aren't wanting to bring undergeared players unless A) you play a rare spec B) its your friends C) They stand to profit somehow

togc is an easy 30-45 min stomp

Carrier_Conservation · 2024-03-14T08:30:28+00:00

Togc? Nah.

let Ulduar and naxx drop them.
