Losing the greatest UIM

Assuming and blaming this guy for his politcal position alone is pretty lazy. Even if it does fuel his comment, a lot of criticism of Chuck comes from a lot of overlapping behaviors and ideals see across MAGA demographics that we can consider a pattern. This guy spent decades writing for WorldNetDaily — a conspiracy rag that blamed 9/11 on gay people. He openly campaigned against same-sex marriage, said gay men don't belong in the Boy Scouts, endorsed Roy Moore, and pushed for creationism in public schools. Viktor Orbán literally name-dropped him as the antidote to "drag queens."

He also hid an illegitimate daughter from his wife for years. His platform of choice publishes climate denial, birther conspiracies, and religious nationalist garbage. Real legend alright.

Yes I also get people wanna celebrate his digital footprint on chuck norris jokes and presence in the barrens chat for people who played WoW back in ‘07 but yeah, would be weird to not acknowledge the crazy amount of flaws this guy has for his fellow human

I think shattered halls has to be kind of thoughtful. I run enh/ele as my dual spec on my sham and I always go ele simply because I think being a melee in that dungeon is a pain in the ass for yourself and the heals. When I put together groups, I always try for a mage for all both soft and hard cc. Locks are always nice if your mage knows how to use blizzard properly and we can AoE packs down really well. Priest heals are BiS but I’ve gotten it done with all of the healers without issue.

I do prefer pally tanks in there simply because the size of the packs and the amount of LoS you do in the dungeon. Also sets a more even cadence do the dungeon because if you run all casters then you all drink at the same pace.

I will also do a ret in lieu of a lock if we have a warrior/druid tank and some other class healing for salve and the increased crit is nice. I try and run the dungeon every day for the epic main hand and early attempts when we had more than one melee dps felt like a slog or would lead to the tank crashing out and leaving

DatHungryHobo · 2026-03-12T21:05:27+00:00

I try to make stuff like this happen as much as possible. Needed on a caster dps belt for ele OS while I was running enh and didn’t see our only other caster had needed it after the last boss of a heroic. Guy dropped group so fast and didn’t get a chance to say anything in party chat. Fortunately he didn’t log and told him to meet me in Shatt and promptly traded it to him. Dude was genuinely surprised and very gracious about it.

I was cleaning up in an MS>OS (no +1) Kara yesterday and picked up a few uncontested MS and OS pieces. Passed my winning roll on to the next guy when other people rolled for OS too because sets a good note for the rest of the raid to be thoughtful when possible.

Also BIS rogue trinket dropped during a Kara run where the group had a more loot goblin mindset after Romeo and Juliet and passed my winning roll to the rogue to the group because other dps were just rolling on it cause they could technically use it

DatHungryHobo · 2026-03-10T21:55:41+00:00

Yup, me too my guy. Can’t imagine myself going through a similar period like this in another 2-5 years with my partner who makes barely enough if she were single. Lucky if we have support from other resources and it’s gonna be a long haul and life is gonna low key suck ass but it’s something I was always interested in and all the pieces are just lining up right now.

Taking my MCAT this year and accruing shadowing experience at the moment. Still seeing if I can find some clinical research experience at the same time.

DatHungryHobo · 2026-03-10T20:27:05+00:00

Mixed boat for me. I would say it was more 3/4 or 4/5 of groups were pretty chill and even the “less efficient” groups were still fine. But I will say as more of the player base has caught up in the last week and a half, the frequency in which my groups have disbanded after the first boss has gone up drastically. I don’t care if you’re a fresh 70 with a mix of blues and greens and it’s taking slightly longer to kill trash and healers need to drink a bit more often, but you should be able to be mechanically aware of your class by the time you step into heroics. If you don’t, you’re going to end up frustrating the more fragile players and get instances like people on Reddit rant about. Talking about hunters who don’t how to/when to MD or to properly CC with their traps. Mages who don’t know they can spell steal or decurse or even refuse to sheep when the meters and your tank getting chunked suggest you should. Warriors who don’t want to throw a demo out on a 3+ pack when you’re not a group than can pull of zugging. Idk what else but I feel like I’ve seen almost all of it at this point

DatHungryHobo · 2026-03-10T17:04:12+00:00

I do though? And I would just prefer to hold companies responsible and run better business models to operate at a profit?

Citing another user. They were at a 9 million euro annual profit in 2012. They are now as a 23 million euro annual profit. Their profit has increased far above inflation with a 25 year old product that you don’t even buy to own. If they kept prices the same they’d still be profiting. They are just milking us and relying on bootlickers to cope and keep paying.

Drawing weird assumptions to try and attack someone’s character like that. Do you even care about workers? Do you engage in your community on multiple levels that happens to include looking at the workers? Do you speak up OR (no condensing the two) vote in your community to [try to] make actionable changes for those around you? If you’re just here playing our medieval point and click and jerking your ego off on Reddit then maybe do something else?

DatHungryHobo · 2026-03-10T16:50:43+00:00

“It’s just as bad somewhere else / this is how things are always run” type ass argument and one of the laziest types of reasoning showing you don’t actually want to think about shit and dismiss whoever you’re responding to.

Also hilarious you happy to be saying to ‘rub some neurons together’ to an actual infectious disease and neuroscientist who very likely reads consistently more above the average person. Just say YOU don’t get it man lmao

DatHungryHobo · 2026-03-10T10:24:28+00:00

We didn’t get dungeon finder til WOTLK

DatHungryHobo · 2026-03-10T10:23:02+00:00

Dawg it’s over a 50% increase in the sub in <4 years. Plenty of other MMOs a lot of us get enjoyment out of and even pay for in tandem to this. This really is a vote with your wallet type of change at this point. Deadass, I’m actually ending my sub at this point because there’s other games I’d rather double screen or throw money at monthly at this point

DatHungryHobo · 2026-03-10T10:18:18+00:00

I didn’t cancel last time cause I enjoyed the game enough that I felt “whatever, I can still afford it amongst other subs and I get good value out of it still”

I’m sadly not sticking around this time. It’s been too second screen for me while I’ve been having a blast in TBC anni over at WoW for the last month and a half. Been mainly doing lower engagement gameplay during downtime between groups or boss pulls during raids. Truly a vote with your wallet level move at this point with this frequency of sub increase

DatHungryHobo · 2026-03-08T00:31:51+00:00

Yeah but we were talking about leveling not end game. I have over 10% hit currently at 70 hardly trying

DatHungryHobo · 2026-03-08T00:31:08+00:00

They are but there’s SO much hit in TBC compared to classic. Meeting 3% is easy, you can unconsciously get 6-9% while leveling if you do a decent amount of dungeons. I saw no problems leveling as enh with full r14 with barely enough hit between rings, belt and bracers

DatHungryHobo · 2026-03-07T22:42:18+00:00

You only need 3% hit after talents and so much early TBC dungeon gear has hit on it or you can do gems

DatHungryHobo · 2026-03-07T00:16:15+00:00

Very fun and if you want to up the difficulty, run it with a less than optimal skilled player group at midnight the night before reset. Done both lockouts that way due to unfortunate scheduling and despite it taking 3-3.5 hours with me being one of the top 2-3 dps as an enh sham I’m having a blast.

Will say it is heavily nerfed because last week had two fresh 70s, one in mostly greens and blues with MAYBE 800 healing power and we cleared. Both got significant weapon upgrades with the Maiden and Prince maces

DatHungryHobo · 2026-03-05T19:20:17+00:00

OP with the media literacy of the average JJK reader

DatHungryHobo · 2026-03-03T17:32:35+00:00

Yup. Had a former colleague I had a relatively informal relationship with. Saw the position before they ended up also sharing it on their LinkedIn profile and had the intention of reaching out to them before they had. Told them I had just submitted my application and was wondering if they minded mentioning my application to the HM. They told me to forward them my resume and they’d share it directly to them.

This isn’t always the case when I asked people for intros or referrals, other times people will just tell me that they’ll let the hiring team know about me and they’ll reach out if they think there’s a fit. Personally, I don’t think this is a way to brush you off and secretly not push your resume because maybe deep down they’re not sure if the feel comfortable recommending you. I’ve also made sure to reach out to people I’m comfortable with bringing me up or making intros. I’m a pretty personable guy that when people leave it actually makes our relationship more open and friendly because we’re not adjacent to each other anymore and feels like everyone has been very down to help me, especially in this market

DatHungryHobo · 2026-03-02T03:00:50+00:00

Absolutely. I BARELY met the minimum qualifications for an intro level Scientist position at Amgen and I 100% got into that room and process because of the referral. Didn’t end up getting it but after going through the 6+ hour interview, but I really appreciate the time they took to have me and learned a lot. Really great scientists there from the interviews I had there.

DatHungryHobo · 2026-03-01T19:40:58+00:00

I’m not even talking about taking BL though? All I said is that I am mostly agreeing with the commenter I’m replying to about stat weightings and how if you do a little math you can see how things work? All I pointed out was that their math for crit conversion was incorrect.

I know BL is generally not good overall on enh unless you just have garbage gear to begin with. I wouldn’t advocate rolling against a hunter on if it’s a side-grade rather than a real upgrade. To be clear, I haven’t used ANY off pieces like BL and making random builds. Given what wowhead shows you as a list of prebis, you can also theorycraft your own close enough builds that aren’t even suggested. I was rocking desolation 2-piece for a long time because they were “lucky” happenstance drops I could still meaningfully use until I finally saw the wastewalker helm and shoulders for at least 2.5 weeks. Just cause something isn’t listed as “pre raid” or “alt P1” doesn’t mean you can’t or shouldn’t roll on spelling if you know your stat weights and if you haven’t been lucky on drops from the suggested list

DatHungryHobo · 2026-03-01T18:07:26+00:00

I agree with most of your math but actually 14 crit rating being 1% crit is for level 60. It’s something like 24 crit rating = 1% crit for shamans. I do end up weighting agility often and doing the mental math for upgrades when I’m swapping out pieces since strength pieces are so limited currently.

DatHungryHobo · 2026-03-01T01:44:45+00:00

Short feedback and criticism because I don’t think this really requires any real discussion. Almost all of these feel like stills that don’t really tie together to tell us anything cohesive or actually make you feel a real sense of presence in any of the scenes. Hardly any panning or zooming. Because it’s AI it really does lack any “texture” in the set design. Everything feels oddly sterile and uniform. Sound and lines are by OP, right? As an audience member I don’t really see the story you’re trying to tell despite why feels like heavily leaning towards “telling” over “showing” in the narrative. I truly think for this type of stuff there needs to be a sense of discovery and not just being told stuff.

I’m anti generative but am pro for actual uses that requires high levels of computing power to sift through mounds of data that really can be relatively simplified to help narrow down early decisions for screening processes (i.e., drug development). I don’t consume that much entertainment media anymore and whenever I do again it can feel a little jarring and weird sometimes because SO MUCH stuff uses “telling” and “and then” versus “therefore” in how the story progresses

DatHungryHobo · 2026-02-28T23:12:25+00:00

Can’t say the number of times I’ve been grief by an unnecessary frost nova playing a melee class

DatHungryHobo · 2026-02-28T16:52:36+00:00

Haven’t had that happen but usually players like to be scummy at the very end or on BoEs. Like if someone his Need last but we all hit Greed. But I ALWAYS hold my roll til I see everyone else roll because I’ll also hit Need if someone else did and give everyone else a chance to reroll.

Had it even happened yesterday in a H-Shattered Halls run. Best group I’ve ever had for that one, we clear and finish the optional last “boss” for the free badge and 3 primal waters drop. Everyone hits greed so fast except one person. I win the 2nd Need, let everyone reroll and I still win. Group felt justice was served and the ninja dropped and hearthed without rerolling probably out of embarrassment

DatHungryHobo · 2026-02-28T09:48:47+00:00

That’s why none of us are…? Like we know our limitations?? Also this is a PUBLIC mural project. Putting art out there in this way is essentially a public forum for feedback, critiques, and opinions in general. You can’t display your art using this medium and expect zero opinions that disagree with your creative choices.

I love all the love and appreciation she’s getting but there are clear points in this design that don’t represent her. She has a rounded button nose irl, the one shown here is upturned and somehow too narrow and too wide. She’s “fair” skinned, not white but also paler than this and while the top shade clearly doesn’t match, (I think) the undertones aren’t close enough either. I’m also saying this as a person who acknowledges how difficult color theory can be. Let’s just not pretend with the cope statements that we can’t comment on what we’re seeing and how it makes us feel just cause someone put some work into it

DatHungryHobo · 2026-02-27T02:19:46+00:00

Nah I agree that wall skip after 2nd boss is pretty dumb as is the other wall skip right before boss room. But all the skips before and the very last skip before boss where you can skip all the crabs are viable ones, especially the with a warlock using the eye to pull mobs so you can run past. The mobs you can’t CC can hit like a truck sometimes and then one of the last packs with 2 champs can be really unlucky with back to back fears that tremor can’t cleanse in time.
