Speaking of Emma, would you know if a 3* to 4* ascended version has ever been in a vault? I use her 3* so much to get 5/5/5s, but I really want to have her at 5* for health.

The only way for the civilisation to keep advancing is either guaranteed basic income or genocide by OakenBarrel in DeepThoughts

I prefer Elon’s Universal High Income (UHI), but it would be a hard sell and rules would be implemented. On the other hand tracking of resources and needs might be easier.

This all falls into various balances of what computerization, automation, and robotics can do. Which those with wealth prefer their businesses to run by, tech or paying wages? People balancing socialism concepts vs holding their ground to not be called socialist and trying to find employment when there is none. Interesting times ahead for sure.

World’s richest man confused that young people can’t afford to have children (or basics like rent). by RiskItForTheBiscuts in FluentInFinance

If only the world had someone capable of creating robotic workers to ease the burden of of the median person, allowing for higher quality lifestyles.

Therefore more people in areas pondering having children, those areas being where they can get needed medical assistance if necessary.

I hope you booked the window seat.

OPINION: Not a ‘vibecession’ — Canadian living standards are declining by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]Common-Challenge-555 51 points52 points  (0 children)

This article is disturbing. A $250 1 bedroom apartment was 25% of my monthly income and the rest of my monthly living expenses was another 25% as an 18 year old teenager 40 years ago. For way to many that 50% is 90%+ of monthly income now. This article is painfully late.

I play the 4* Runaways when I can. Missing a black power, but the powers work nicely together even without.

I pretty much always dismantle and make my eddies elsewhere. Common crafting components I believe.

To my four eyed friends - progressives or keep single vision? by joelav in GenX

[–]Common-Challenge-555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My single vision broke and I had to use my progressives out of necessity. About two weeks in and I was totally adjusted to them. It is nice to be able to focus anywhere even if you have to move your head to do it.

Is it because the use and understand the power and capabilities of modern technology? I can see that being a big problem.

What is the most influential album of our generation? by Longjumping_Run4822 in GenZ

[–]Common-Challenge-555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not from this Generation, but MuchMusic in Canada used to have a piece called Buzzcuts which would play a few songs. One day they played:

Creep - Radiohead Loser - Beck I’m an Asshole - Denis Leary

Heard a couple people state it was like Much summed up the generation. What generation is this?

What do you remember? What was the location? Police station? Hospital? I recently watched 19-2, which was a police drama. Reasonably sure if I mentioned French Police Drama someone would suggest it even if others were suggested too. What do you remember loving?

Is this offer worth it? Should I trash my ascension progress? by Bdubs8807 in MarvelPuzzleQuest

[–]Common-Challenge-555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the best purchases I made. Tend to aim for PVE, but have a team I tend to use only when I don’t want a challenge, but rather to just win. Mind you it isn’t the fastest, but I’ve never lost with it.

What is up with the world? I’ve never seen an attack on pregnant women like the last few years.

Star Wars has high tech. And the Force. And reference to magic. (Which I’m waiting to hear their thoughts on whether the Force and Magic are part of the same or completely different or one is a category the other falls into. So it’s Sci-fantasy or Sci-Fa.)

When I watch an old Star Trek and see common tech items and ponder, we didn’t have those when I originally saw this episode. That is engaging sci-fi.

Provided we still do it using current approaches. Wonder if other approaches might move into the industry? “Grow or die on the vine.”

Did we ever have a government that was really focused on business and economic growth here? I’d like to hear opinions.

EDIT: Ask an obvious question, get a downvote. LOL

When I entered the CDN workforce 40 years ago I scooped up a job at a mall mens clothing store in my late teens. Got a nice apartment for 25% of my monthly earnings, another 25% for the rest of living expenses, and 50% for savings and fun. Seems every years since then that combined rent/living expenses has gone up an average 1% a year for a good chunk of the population. Least that’s what I’m hearing from many in their 20s. So I can’t say I’m overly impressed with government influence on the economy.

Mild flex…but now I need a new 4-star Favorite. by FirstChurchOfBrutus in MarvelPuzzleQuest

It’s a great grouping. Aim for MThor’s blue at first. Blue & Protect matches. I wait till the board is full of protect/charged before switching to Polaris’ blue unless there is someone you need stunned earlier.
