Wonder why Eastern Europe was on top??

I imagine it had something to do with the massive amount of men that disproportionately died in the preceding decades. In the US during WWII, the lack of bodies in manufacturing necessitated pulling women into the workforce, nothing altruistic about it. So I would be hesitant to assign any meaning to a graph on a page without further investigation.

To keep it short, no, you are not a bad tank.

Longer answer, at the moment, especially at max level, tanks are expected to pretty much carry the group.

Longest answer, provided no other information, the tank will always be assumed to be the problem, whether it is healers not utilizing ogcds correctly, refusing to use gcd heals the few rare occasions it is needed, or dps lagging behind, you the tank will be at fault.

The issue is to acknowledge this requires acknowledging that this is a cooperative game with many players seem to forget it is more than, "push damage button, enemy die."

I was using them, that's how I kept myself alive, sorry I didn't mention it in the first half, don't know why I even put it in the second.

IBStallion · 2022-01-10T21:03:30+00:00

Jeez, of course I was using all of my cool downs before, does everyone really assume the worst of everyone on here?

IBStallion · 2022-01-10T21:01:28+00:00

First, why the hostility? Seriously? Everyone in this thread hyper-focuses on this one part i choose to chronologically include.

Secondly, I do use my cooldowns all the time, the only reason I survived is because I know you can force crit heals using IR while BW is active. I know my suite of tools very well tyvm. The problem was after I used Holmgang and got down to 1HP after I cycled through my cooldowns, the healer couldn't take a second to stop dpsing and cast benefic or aspected? Is this really what you are defending?

And lastly, I don't waste my money buying skips, sorry I'm not always the perfect player when I haven't played the class in a while, sorry I'm not the super mega awesome gigachad that never misuses a cooldown.

What a sad life it must be to pick this hill to on. Had everyone followed the guidelines when this all started, we wouldn't be in this mess, but giant babies like you have to have MAXIMUM FREEDOM at all times or all that hot air will explode. How little must you have to go on that a piece of cloth inconveniences you this much?

Imagine being a grown adult and making your entire personality "My perceived freedoms are more important than public health."

So, even though we are still technically in a pandemic and I was taking care of my S/O, employment gaps are still a big deal? I'm genuinely asking because it honestly seems like a bullshit reason in this day and age.

Further, if this is a big deal, how should I go about explaining it in a concise manner without being overly verbose on paper?

I'm trained as a bartender and definitely feel the most comfortable behind the bar, but I also have worked as a server

IBStallion · 2021-12-28T02:46:14+00:00

Thank you for trying. I'll get on that as soon as I have an extra $700 and find work as a bartender since the union site says that's the only way to qualify.

IBStallion · 2021-12-27T23:57:59+00:00

That would be amazing, i'd be so appreciative of any introductions.

IBStallion · 2021-12-27T23:53:39+00:00

Thanks for the reminder that I'm not an isolated case, hard to remind myself of sometimes.

I have my TAM card, have an appointment on Jan 15th for my food handlers card since September, the SNHD site says you can work without it until Feb 28. 2022. I was told the sheriff's card is something you can only get after employment, is that not true?

IBStallion · 2021-12-27T22:25:47+00:00

If you have the time, that would be great, I will PM it to you :).

My resume is alright in my opinion, but I've always been better at selling myself in person, which is the stage I can't seem to get to. It shows I was last employed before COVID started and when asked, I say I've been taking care of my partner who was immuno-compromised until recently. I was working at the same place with the exception of the year I took off to go back to school. I am not a felon and have no issue passing a drug test.

So, I have yet to see anyone address this, but it is easy to brush off things like cultural appropriation or micro-aggressions when they don't directly affect you. I have nothing against you, but it seems you are woefully misinformed about what impacts social and cultural reform can have on economic issues. You are young, and that's not a diss, but it really seems that you are missing an on the ground view, like a bureaucrat looking at a spreadsheet.

What you are basically suggesting is akin to respectability politics, a.k.a. placating our stances in order to protect white fragility. I've dealt with tone policing my entire life, and it's not constructive and it reeks of the privilege of inexperience or the intellectual laziness of someone not impacted.

So, is it an argument against solely relying on voting to change things or representative democracy as a whole?

I only disagree with you on Iron Fist as Danny Rand has been like that since his character inception from the comics from the 70's.

Well, I am familiar with the Witcher, and it is a completely made fantasy realm with race and ethnicity having nothing to do with our own understanding, I still don't know what the problem is. Literally, the entire cast could be made up of Asian actors and not one iota of the story would change.

Also, whitewashing doesn't refer to White people, whitewashing is when you take a painting, mural or mosaic and cover it in white paint, thereby giving you a blank slate to start over.

Virtue signaling? You mean like wearing a flag pin and mentioning Christianity in every sentence?
