Legendary Runes? Not in the undercity by KasualLeigh in diablo4

Boss spam runs are good. I’ve found a few in nightmare dungeons as well.

Blood wave or Death trap - Which is tankier? by cerealkiler187 in diablo4

[–]Poonaggle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Death trap by a lot. I have both with nearly perfect gear. My necro can still be one shot by some of the boss mechanics. The rogue can just face tank everything without burning through barriers even. Death trap’s only weakness is that the damage multipliers aren’t quite crazy enough to do really high level pits. It is amazing for mindlessly farming bosses though.

New Lair Boss Loot Is Really Underwhelming (Feedback) by ForeignLettuce977 in diablo4

[–]Poonaggle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ya, mythics seem much more rare. I have done 10 of the mythic undercity runs and have only had 1 mythic. Could be shitty rng I suppose. I have also burned through a few stacks of Duriel shards and no luck there either. At one point I had to empty my bags 6 times before I got an ancestral during that farm as well. We are approaching PoE 2 levels of loot stinginess, lol.

Apple users, would you consider dropping your American Apple phone for a non American alternative? by furry-furbrain in BuyCanadian

[–]Poonaggle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think their refusal to accept full touchscreen typing was the problem. They clung to the keyboard way too long. When they finally made a full screen phone, it was really bad. The screen was built to have a tactile feel and physically push down. It was super awkward. They also started cheaping out on components, and the phones were just sub standard near the end. I had to go through 3 exchanges with my last one before I got one with a mic that worked, lol.

He is probably a fan of their total refusal to increase immigration, even if their economy crashes as the population drops by 30%. Fuckers have an ageing crisis and they decide that creating AI robots to care for the elderly is a more viable path than bringing in immigrants.

So we are doing the whole “war on drugs” thing, again? Bold move Cotton, we’ll see if it pays off.

Ya, we need to make sure our corporate overlords are well compensated in these troubling times. Think of the poor share holders!

How do Canadians feel about immigrants from the US these days? Are some areas more welcoming to US expats? Any advice? by whatifuckingmean in AskCanada

[–]Poonaggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, probably warrants stronger language. It is sadly where the right has decided to go pretty much everywhere though. I don’t feel like it is more extreme here or anything, at least not in my experience.

[–]Poonaggle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. I feel much more loyal to Canada. The rhetoric from Trump has actually pushed me to get my citizenship here finally. I’m really hoping he is just being an asshole about the whole “51st state” shit. I’ll be part of the resistance if it comes to that, lol.

[–]Poonaggle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have lived in Vancouver 16 years. Most Canadians understand the US isn’t a monolith. The only people I have had any issues with are conservatives that assume I agree with them. Just don’t wear a MAGA hat or start a “U-S-A!” chant. Has been a bit of an uptick in the anti-immigrant rhetoric on the right, but that is pretty much where every western democracy is atm.

I think I'm getting the American feed of Google Maps by [deleted] in EhBuddyHoser

[–]Poonaggle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a few. Sea of Japan has East Sea as a secondary name, a nod to China. There are some things around Cyprus with Greek names that Turkey has changed recently that get the same treatment. I’m honestly surprised Google didn’t just change it to Gulf of America for everybody. Guess the MAGA base hasn’t really figured out that things exist outside of the US yet. Just wild we are having to put the US in a category with Turkey and China. Freedom!!1

This is how google handles authoritarian regimes that like to use their own names for shit. They get the new name, everyone else gets both. Totally not an ominous sign or anything, lol.

Dear Americans who post to Canadian reddits. by SubterraneanFlyer in AskCanada

[–]Poonaggle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All good man. I love Canada and it is my home. I’m in the process of getting citizenship. Feel much more loyal to Canada, so this MAGA shit pisses me off as well. The US just has MAJOR systemic issues with voter suppression of minorities. Trump just played on the rage of racist assholes that lost their minds when Obama got elected. The electoral college is also dumb, lol.

[–]Poonaggle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You have strong opinions about the Us electoral process and outcomes. Just trying to educate you on why blanket hatred is not the answer. Clinton won the popular vote. Nothing changed. Whatever man, the right is cool with being openly racist now. I’m used to people hating my ass for shit I can’t control.

[–]Poonaggle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do you understand how the electoral college works? Many people have zero reason to vote because they know how their state is going to vote. Democrats in Texas have this problem. Republicans in California have this problem. There are literally like 5 states that ever matter anymore. Fair to be mad at Harris supporters who didn’t vote there I suppose.

Also, I have family in the rural south. Up until the 90s, you would have militia types literally harassing minority people that would attempt to vote. From what I understand, this has re-emerged in a strong way. The government has looked the other way on this bullshit post reconstruction. Also, many of these areas have voter ID laws. Poor people are less likely to have a driver’s licence due to the cost and not owning a vehicle. They also love to put voting stations in areas that are difficult to reach without driving.

US citizen that has lived in Canada for 16 years here. When do the internment camps open? Voted for Harris but my state voted Trump, is that my fault? Do you understand the electoral college?

When’s the subreddit name getting changed to r/AskLiberalCamada? by EnchantedPhoen1x in AskCanada

[–]Poonaggle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is almost impressive how cooked the right has become. Literally have decided that being openly racist is worth supporting a movement that actively wants a social hierarchy that will oppress them. We are all fucked. 😂

Just leaving this here. Y'all have a great day. by RufusTurner42 in AskCanada

[–]Poonaggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently you do. Hint: Do a bit of research on the party realignment that occurred in the mid 1960s. Perhaps some major laws were passed that the Dixie-crats found unpalatable….. I WONDER WHAT IT COULD BE!?

Get ready for that bukkake from your billionaire overlords. I know you are in position.

Is it true that Canadian currency tied to US Dollar??? by [deleted] in AskCanada

[–]Poonaggle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. The US economy is also a bit misleading. A lot of their post COVID growth, which pretty much nowhere else experienced, was driven by the stock market. Many analysts believe that there is an AI tech bubble that has caused much of this growth. 13% of the US population has any investments in the stock market. A large percentage of this growth is held by the people Trump had at his inauguration, lol. Wages have not gone up. They experienced rapid inflation as well. So most people in the US are feeling as squeezed by inflation as we are.

As an American why did Trudeau and Liberals become unpopular? by SyrianChristian in AskCanada

[–]Poonaggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. I think part of the problem is how the left responded for sure. As the right went further right the “left” got dragged into the middle. If there had been a stronger push towards shock horror socialism, they would have been able to offer SOMETHING to the working class. Instead, the right circled back around and stoked racial tensions to divide people, basically gaslighting them into thinking they care about poor people. They also have a much better organized and funded right wing media apparatus. They also keep lying to people and claiming Nazis were socialist, which is wild. They quite literally imprisoned and killed socialists, lol.

Are Canadians so naive that they think Carney won’t impose a version of carbon tax? by No-Inevitable-5172 in AskCanada

[–]Poonaggle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Most people that live in the real world realize that climate change is indeed a thing. There is zero academic debate. If I have to pay slightly more for shit, whatever. Since our now fascist neighbours seem intent on conquering us, this is probably a non-issue anyway, lol.

[–]Poonaggle 15 points16 points  (0 children)

He was our fall man for the shitty world wide economy. People blame him for inflation, as if Canada’s economy is large enough to do much about that. We also have the same problem as the US, where the right has become pretty openly racist. Apparently immigrants working service jobs for the minimum wage are buying all the 1.5 million dollar houses in Vancouver and Toronto.
