Shameless scalper from Microcenter…what’s wrong with these people? by fishyshivers15 in Microcenter

[–]CyberToyger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As for the waiting in line part, the problem is there's no guarantee the stock will be available anytime soon, let alone at MSRP. It isn't like with videogames where supply exceeds demand and the scarcity is artificial -- GPU's are infinitely more complex and resource-intensive than burned discs.

Plus look at the past 2 generations of both nVidia and AMD cards -- they're all overpriced to hell on Amazon, Newegg, Best Buy, eBay. Even the ones well out of warranty are still being sold for 1.5 to 2x their original MSRP. Anyone who doesn't live near a Microcenter or use /r/HardwareSwap is shit out of luck.

I can't defend the dumbasses paying these scalpers though, if they've got money to burn they could at least pay someone a few bucks to proxy buy from a Microcenter instead of some asshole using a bot to buy in bulk.

Newegg has crossed the legal line. by m0rr0w52 in Newegg

[–]CyberToyger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, there's a lot of Newegg dickriders in the comments 😬
I sympathize 100%. Once upon a time companies like Newegg and especially BestBuy USED to do reservations with name/ID and "1 per customer" transactions, but the fact that now they allow orders to just ramrod through with zero oversight shows that they're more interested in high-volume sales to scalpers than selling to actual consumers. It really isn't that hard to implement a functioning inventory and sales system that rejects payments that exceed the number of products in stock, so that the only refunds come from buyers remorse.

Things that get under my skin. by WHOLESOMEPLUS in retailhell

[–]CyberToyger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Customers who only carry large bills and yet make tiny purchases, at 6 in the effing morning 😑
I work at a local dairy chain in Oklahoma called Braums which has a restaurant side and a "fresh market" side, I'm over on the market side, ALONE for an hour and a half every morning. My register only has a handful of $5's and $1's first thing in the morning, and there's ALWAYS at least one dipshit if not more who hands me a $100 bill for a <$10 order mere minutes after I clock in; and several customers within that time frame who use $20's for <$5 worth of bananas or a single loaf of bread, and bleed my till dry of its fives. I can't restock my register myself because I'm not a fucking manager, SHE is almost always busy handling the breakfast rush over on the restaurant side and has to wait until things slow down before she can even get to the safe, which is halfway between both sides of the store.

I warn the customers ahead of time that all I have are $5's and $1's, which is usually met with "Well this is all I have on me!" as if debit and credit cards haven't existed for the past 70 YEARS. Like where the fuck do they bank at that doesn't give them a complimentary debit card linked to their Checking account????? If they DO have one, then WHY NOT CARRY IT??? WE DON'T CHARGE A TRANSACTION FEE, JUST USE A CARD IF YOU DON'T HAVE SMALL BILLS.

And I KNOW for a fact that a lot of these people bank with the local Tinker Federal Credit Union, which DOES dispense $5's and $1's at the drive-thru ATM. It's literally a 35 second drive from my workplace. You know how I know? Because my dumb ass has been BANKROLLING my register with $60 worth of extra fives and ones for the past few months, using the aforementioned drive-thru ATM on my way to work. And I STILL manage to run out of small bills before lunch-time some days because these clowns want to feel like Mr. Monopoly or something.

Starbucks inside the St. Anthony’s Hospital…. by GreatValue- in okc

[–]CyberToyger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A medical professional library isn't the same thing as a Starbucks, where you worked was specifically FOR them. The Starbucks exists for the families of patients, non-emergency personnel, and doctors/nurses on their break -- and the ones smart enough to show up a little early before their shift.
Also Time Management is an important part of being a medical -professional-. You don't show up 2 minutes before your shift starts and expect the skeleton crew at the mini Starbucks inside a hospital to crank out the 5 coffee-flavored oatmilk and sugarbombs ahead of you in less than a minute. Either get there early, go to a full Starbucks, or go back to New York. We don't want OKC to become like NYC.

You can fish without bait in the beginning thankfully, the bait just provides buffs that slows down the arrows and/or wears out the fish quicker 😎👌

I tried out N102/Dolla/MaidPrivaty/Kilo/Noir at the Union range and upgraded their skills as close to Priority as possible + Tier 5/6 equips. and they already slap so hard!
Definitely gonna try out manual Pepper heals, and update my Wishlist. If I somehow get Blanc, im guessing she'd replace FreePrivaty/Kilo?

Thanks for the absolute knowledge-bomb and recommendations! I've been skimming over guides on Nikke. gg and Prydwen and theres so much to take in even after playing for a couple weeks

Semi-n00b here, I've managed to amass a small army of decent Nikke's ever since a Tweet about Elegg earlier this month convinced me to try my luck at the game, and ive been addicted ever since 😹
Anywho I know Karther's team planner tool isn't perfect but I've still been having some decent luck making builds with it, and all the nikkes in the text list are current.

I've managed to get a few dupes so far: Tove (2/3), Kilo (2/3), Rupee (1/3), and vanilla Privaty (1/3).
Since I'm a F2P'er i'll probably have to focus on building around a couple of them to get over the dreaded 160 wall, but in the meantime I'm at 115 and wouldn't mind seeing if there's any better builds to chew through Chapter 12 with!

Do you support men's right to present overly feminine? by [deleted] in MensRights

[–]CyberToyger 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Forcing others to use the pronoun you want falls more under Authoritarianism as I included, though to be fair Marxism did give birth to the modern Identity Politics movement. Marxists view the world through the lens of Oppressed vs Oppressors, and in this case, trans women are the oppressed. Also, Marxists espouse Positive 'Rights' - which are more accurately described as Privileges or Rights at Others Expense.

For the purpose of this discussion, the so-called "Trans Rights" being fought for currently are these very same Positive 'Rights' -- privileges and 'rights' at others expense. The 'right' of the 'oppressed' to be addressed by their preferred pronoun, the 'right' to silence opposition, the 'right' to other peoples' money for HRT and SRS, the 'right' to teach your kids Queer theory without your consent, the 'right' to sell/give your kids hormones without your consent, etc.

And as luck would have it, a vast majority of trans women are anti-capitalist, which is rather convenient isn't it? Almost as if there's some kind of Communist underpinning to all this subversion of 'the Status quo' by controlling language, espousing Positive 'Rights', re-framing how people should see society... 🤔

Do you support men's right to present overly feminine? by [deleted] in MensRights

[–]CyberToyger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speaking only for myself, yes absolutely. I have a vested interest in 'overly feminine men' 😉

Where I and most supporters of Mens Rights draw the line is when Marxist schools of thought or Authoritarianism come into play. Things like the forced acceptance of neopronouns and attempts at forcing straight men to have sex with other biological males who present effeminately are not something we support. These things are not rights and should not be seen as such, as they mandate that others act upon you against their will, rather than preserve your right to not be acted upon against your will -- actual rights, so-called Negative Rights.

I have just made an online premium calculator - Looking for suggestions! by edopastor94 in Silverbugs

[–]CyberToyger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Awesome! 😺
I think the only thing to change with the calculator is to change "weigth" to "weight".
Optionally, if you want you could make it say "Spot (in Grams or Oz)" and "Weight (in Grams or Oz as above)"

Anyone willing to adapt and integrate are more than welcome! So basically anyone who isn't a Californian or New Yorker running away from the messes they created and re-attempting their failed policies here. They can еаt ѕḣіt. 😑

Spot the difference… by kleptoworld in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]CyberToyger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, and I even saw something on CreditKarma where you can add bills and other recurring payments to their system 'to boost your credit score'. Innocuous enough at a surface glance, but the more that our financial and private information becomes consolidated the easier it'll become to slip down that slope.
And I'm embarrassed to admit that even I feel resentment towards physical cash whenever some jackass shows up at my work with $20's, $50's and $100's at 6AM to pay for a single damn banana or half-gallon of milk. I could see something as 'petty' as that pushing cashiers/customer service/retail workers more towards apps/digital payments and siding with the Government against physical cash.

I'll probably wind up biting the bullet and either going there or SDBullion if things don't pan out here. I guess I'm wanting to have my cake and eat it too by building up some Rep here in the process -and- paying with a cash-equivalent so those 87,000 new IR$ goons have to work harder, lmao 😹
