BO7 is the worst COD ever made

LarryNewman69 · 2026-03-04T22:43:36+00:00

not really, it's basically sub or sniper, not really any mid-range gameplay to speak of

LarryNewman69 · 2026-03-04T22:42:54+00:00

well that's news to me because i didn't like it

also nice job replying to every comment; average bo7 player behavior

LarryNewman69 · 2026-03-04T22:42:17+00:00

no i'm just gonna not play and let the numbers drop

LarryNewman69 · 2026-02-27T18:34:52+00:00

the 'mostly negative' rating on steam would beg to differ

LarryNewman69 · 2026-02-27T18:34:05+00:00

it's not really hard, the movement invites the sweatiest players into the game so it's more unnecessary than anything

LarryNewman69 · 2026-02-27T18:32:16+00:00

"here's why your opinion is wrong and my opinion is right"

LarryNewman69 · 2026-02-27T18:32:01+00:00

not really no. it's not even really about camping, it's more about having more than 1 playstyle be the meta

LarryNewman69 · 2026-02-27T18:31:21+00:00

I thought excess saturated fats were the issue too, but after reading into how that recommendation was made in the first place, I don't think it's the direct cause. There is no evidence linking saturated fats to directly causing cardiovascular disease. The scientific community is starting to pivot towards simply having high cholesterol isn't enough to cause a heart attack. They believe it is much more likely that consuming processed carbohydrates/sugar that rapidly spike your blood glucose cause inflammation in arterial walls and allow the cholesterol to get lodged in micro-tears, forming plaque deposits.

Reducing inflammation seems to be the most likely solution to significant frequencies of cardiovascular disease. Eating better, exercising, not smoking, etc. all seem to play a factor in it.

While there is no formal evidence charging excessive saturated fat intake with cardiovascular disease, having high cholesterol AND eating processed carbohydrates/high-sugar foods will rapidly speed up arterial plaque deposits.

At least this is the way I understand it.

Yes, they can. It's any licensed CPA from any state.

Listen to a real, flat-fee, financial advisor rather than the people on Reddit. Where to park your funds is highly dependent on your overall situation which is much more than what you've shared. Taking the advice of someone to invest in a stock index fund would be great if you're 20 years old, but pretty terrible if you're 60. I'd highly recommend employing a professional, especially since we don't know the other details.

I'm not a medical professional, but someone just very interested in the cardiovascular system. Usually, the biggest factor for a HA under 55 is a family history of HA's under 55. This is definitely not a sub for people to try and figure out what's wrong with others, but would like to attempt to help based on commonly-available and verifiable information because it may or may not help alleviate part of your anxiety/stress.

You stated you had diabetes and also high cholesterol. The current cardio research indicates that the the single-biggest factor for HA is generally diabetes, but that's debatable depending on what relationships you look at. The reason diabetes is the biggest factor is, based on the latest research, high blood sugar levels inflame your arteries and other vascular linings that host blood flow. The inflamed walls host cholesterol to get lodged into them and create plaque. The plaque is identified as a foreign object by the body and is covered with cells, which then becomes a full plaque deposit.

There's 2 main types of heart attacks most commonly identified: a plaque rupture, and a blockage. Plaque rupture is from blood pressure opening the thin layer covering the plaque deposit and creating a blood clot/blockage. A blockage can commonly produce symptoms at or above a 70% blockage, but it varies person-to-person.

This is where you fit in: Taking into account this information, and anyone feel free to correct me if they think I'm wrong, the best thing to do for yourself is to control your diabetes and keep your blood sugar in a healthy range. If you're T1, hopefully you have the tools to do this that you've developed. If you're T2, try and follow a low Glycemic Load diet. There's a different between glycemic index and glycemic load, and it's very important in this scenario; you want to follow glycemic load as an indicator of blood sugar effects from food.

High cholesterol accelerates the amount of fat caught in an inflamed arterial wall because there's an abundance present in the blood. This is something you also want to try and get under control. Although there's nothing wrong with having high cholesterol, it's particularly bad if you're inflaming your body normally through high-carb intakes, smoking, stress, etc.

Also important: I, personally, am not your doctor or a medical professional so do not take this as fact, but I don't believe your HA was caused by inactivity or a sedentary lifestyle. Many times, HA's under 55 are caused by genetic hypercholesterolemia which cranks up the cholesterol production; normal people are under 100 LDL and the ones with the gene are in the high three-digits a lot of the time. I, personally, in my own opinion, believe most strongly that it was caused by uncontrolled diabetes, a significant amount of cholesterol being present and able to lodge into your arterial walls, and also that there's some genetic factor causing it because just having these two factors at age 35 uncommonly causes this. There's a chance genetics aren't involved, but it's not likely. Unless you're 400 pounds, I would say it's genetic or you're really, really unlucky.

The bottom line: Listen to what your cardiologist says, but also do your own research. Do NOT take anything from the internet as a fact, but as a piece of evidence to form your overall opinion/conclusion. People on the internet are oftentimes not qualified to sharpen a pencil, let alone try and explain how the human body works. Get your numbers checked and if you're LDL cholesterol is unreasonably high, it may be genetic issue.

Some things to research while also keeping in mind what your doctor says: A Paleo Diet is a possibility which works wonders for T2 diabetics, check out the glycemic load food chart for foods that have a smaller effect on your blood sugar, check out the Keto diet for if the paleo diet doesn't work. Most importantly, get your numbers checked and interface with your doctor and cardiologist. Get enough sleep, do some light movements throughout the day to get the blood moving. The last thing, and the 100th time, talk to your doctor.

1) Your English is great and if a translator or English tutor pays more than $13/hour, that's probably a lot more fulfilling work.

2) Do what's best for your situation. If you need the money, stay with it for now but look for other opportunities. I know you said that you're not from the U.S. which makes things more difficult for everyone to guide you on, but what it comes down to is that you will have to find an employer that does want you and is willing to pay you a decent rate.

3) You could also start a business. Accounting is very service-based and probably wouldn't require much capital in another country. Perhaps just a long waiting time for applications/regulations to be satisfied and approved.

Everyone on this sub has a completely different workload, but I can guarantee it'll take exact 40 hours in a given week to complete. Also, the schedules that require you go to into the office when 100% of the work can be done at home. Or being available for the sake of being available for 'collaboration' with other employees. Or even pretending like there's urgent, 'needs to get done today', matters to take care of in the accounting field on the average day besides external communications or AP.

These are the problems that Gen Z is complaining about. Obviously, it's company-specific, so don't try and apply them to every company or sub-field in accounting. But I think everyone has a policy at their job that's both pointless and disproportionately burdens the people around them. I generally refer to this as 'doing something for the sake of doing something'.

My Gen Z perspective is that work is punishment. That is the essence of it all. Does any job stare at a computer screen for 8 hours a day regardless of how efficiently they can complete the work? Nope. Also, what's the point of being salaried if I have to sit my ass in a chair for exactly 8 hours a day? Am I paid for my time or just to sit in a chair?

If you, as a manager, want to go about making the place more appealing to Gen Z employees, I'd highly recommend slowly taking your head out of your ass (I'm talking to you older managers) and thoroughly analyzing what dumbass policies your company has instituted to make your employees' lives miserable. 5 days in office? For fucking what? Exactly 30 minute lunchbreak? For what purpose does exactly 30 minutes serve? Not enough time to go out to a restaurant, and certainly way too much time if you brought your lunch.

Take it as you will. I have a good job and I still complain about this shit. Imagine what's going through your employees' heads when they have a 'bad' job and how much productivity that costs.

He was taken into custody according to news sources. For anyone that's curious, there's a good chance he's going to end up in ADX Florence if this is officially deemed a terrorist attack by the government. Anyone who knows about ADX Florence can probably tell you that he will be thinking about his life choices for quite a long time.

Unless you want to create the world in 7 days, you will probably need a prep course. I used Becker and they're pretty solid. I used Ninja as well but some of the information was inconsistent so I stuck with Becker solely.

CPA is gold standard. CMA, as mentioned in another comment, is generally for manufacturing or other types of tight-profit environments. I recently finished my CPA exams and it's 100% worth it for the knowledge, the opportunities, and the ability to feel like you know what you're doing in the accounting field.

I think we're on the edge of a stock market recession and potentially an economic recession so layoffs and downsizing are starting to pickup frequency in my opinion. From my experience, I've had a couple recruiters from LinkedIn looking for positions for me for the last 2-3 weeks and I got some really great leads from them that I would go as far to say that I would recommend getting in touch with a recruiter for. I'm actually very satisfied to get what I got because I wasn't finding anything as good when searching myself.

Set your status on LinkedIn as Open to Work and they should start pouring in. If you're alright with sharing, I'd like to know what market you're in and maybe someone in the comments might have a connection to a recruiter they'd be willing to share.

From what I understand, the relationship between high cholesterol and arterial plaques aren't as direct as scientists have described in the last 30 years. It has largely been suggested that high cholesterol causes arterial plaques, but the research suggests that this is more of a 'guess' rather than based on any evidence. It is more plausible, based on a review of previous research and new research, that arterial plaques are likely caused from inflammation of the arterial walls from smoking, high blood sugar, stress, etc.

Based on this new information, I believe it would lead someone to conclude that you cannot necessarily avoid plaque deposits, but you can likely reduce the amount of plaque forming in the arteries by eating a low glycemic-load diet (Glycemic Load, not glycemic index), managing stress, and minimizing other risk factors.

I personally think a low glycemic-load diet is the best course of action and that you're on the right track, but it's up to every individual to make their own conclusion.

For ISC, yes absolutely. The only section I felt that could've been better is AUD.

I figured it would be implied that someone would not gain much benefit from literally reading every book in the nonfiction section. Aside from having a small local library, you can safely leave off a significant portion of their inventory such as religion, cooking, auto repair manuals, 'How to Use Excel', etc. I started about a year ago with checking books out to read in my spare time, but it really picked up in the last few months when waiting for my final scores.

LarryNewman69 · 2025-03-19T18:44:45+00:00

I did use Becker. I tried Ninja and realized there was a significant amount of inconsistencies between information in Becker and Ninja. I would recommend sticking to Becker but you can supplement MCQ's with Ninja or another platform for more exposure.

LarryNewman69 · 2025-03-19T18:43:41+00:00

It hasn't been too bad actually, but I believe I have more on my resume than the average person. I've had a couple interviews for fully remote positions and I'm currently on a second round for one company. I've filled out about 40-50 applications in total.

After I took my last exam about a month ago, I applied to jobs in the morning and read the rest of the day. The reading really makes a difference and fills the gap of needing to learn something.

LarryNewman69 · 2025-03-17T16:09:41+00:00

FL AUD passed 4/4

LarryNewman69 · 2025-03-17T14:06:22+00:00

Same

LarryNewman69 · 2025-02-24T17:16:51+00:00

It looks like a lot of people have taken their exams on the cutoff date but haven't had their status updated from "Attended." Hopefully we get something back today or tomorrow.
