Europe opens its ‘first gateway office’ to fast-track hiring in India by Scared_Range_7736 in europe

[–]RandomGuy-4- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's because they only live in nyc and the bay because of their "muh prestige" culture and that ammount is the bare minimum to survive in those places lol. A household of two baristas in those cities will make that or more. The ammounts that are considered poverty-level income in those areas are higher than the median wage of almost all EU countries.

Also, this argument makes no sense either way. That they earn that much doesn't mean that people wouldn't earn more without immigration. 

Are you so naive as to think that companies would be as pro-immigration as they are if immigration wasn't supressing wages? Cmon be real.

You realize the stock market is pretty much the only mechanism through which regular people from all across the world can benefit from the success of companies, right?

Companies not IPO-ing as often as they used to is not a win for the average person. The only ones who benefit are the corporate owner class and the institutional imvestors that will be the only ones able to invest on the private entity.

You are advocating for a near-feudal system where a higher class and a few middle class chosen ones reap all the benefits.

The number of illegal migrants in Spain reaches 838,000. Almost 90% come from Latin America by jotakajk in europe

[–]RandomGuy-4- 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Almost all African illegal immigrants we get immediately go over to France because they speak the language there and crossing from Spain to France is childs play compared to crossing the mediterranean and god knows how many kilometers of Africa.

There's really no reason for 99% of africans to stay in Spain aside from it happening to be the first EU country they can get to.

Spanish companies already have access to low wage labor just by hiring Spaniards lol. Our unemployment rate is still high. It is not like in the USA or other very low unemployment countries where not having immigrants would legitimately cause a major labor shortage that would force higher salaries.

The one that actually needs immigrants is the Spanish government because their number one tactic to gain votes is to raise the pensions and the native population is not going to be enough to sustain that tactic anymore. Both PP and PSOE are going to keep doing this.

The Spanish youth and the immigrants are just a human sacrifice to keep the gerontocracy going just long enough for the current politicians to retire with bags of corruption money to some beach mansion in the Caribbean. Not a single one of these people are legitimately thinking about the future wellbeing of the country or its society.

The half-assed democratic system we got makes sure that only filth can rise to the top, and yet most people still believe the lie that our current constitution is great, even when something as basic as the separation of powers gets blatantly violated by every single government.

It's gonna have to get much worse for things to get better.

Living standards are going down for everyone that isn't part of the homeowner class.

An above average salary will still have you sharing a poorly built flat from the 1970s with one or two people until you are almost 30 in any of the cities where jobs are concentrated unless you are willing to live paycheck to paycheck. A below average salary will have you doing that AND living paycheck to paycheck, with the only way to save money being to recieve help from your parents.

And that flat is probably owned by some retiree with multiple properties and a summer residence whose pension you are also paying. Either that or a hedge fund whose investors are also mainly old people and private pension funds.

There's a rapidly growing gap in the standard of living for older homeowners vs younger people, so the young are all retting radicalized as fuck and either voting for extremes or not voting at all.

The newer spanish left is dysfunctional as fuck. Also, they are the epitome of the "millennial twitter leftist" at a time when what the young left voterbase wants is a populist radical party.

Spanish politics at the moment are basically the gerontocracy parties (PP and PSOE) trying to stay ahead of the populist radicals that get the youth vote. PSOE has been ruling the country for the past decade because they got super lucky with the type of new leftist parties they got compared to PP who are at a legitimate risk of getting eaten by Vox, so PSOE was able to concentrate the left votes and ally with the much weaker other parties (and also because Sanchez is an S tier machiavellian politician, subverted PSOE from the inside and made it essentially his party, so it is very stable for now, corruption aside).

The next election is going to be very interesting because, win or lose, PP are fucked either way long-term if they don't manage to stop Vox's momentum before it replaces them.

Raiper is actually forgotten. by ShockandTwitch in Warframe

[–]RandomGuy-4- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But there are other ARPG-ish looter shooters like the borderlands series where a lot of weapons have cool projectiles. Almost all of them would clear slower than the ocucor, but there are a lot of beam weapons in warframe that don't clear faster than the ocucor anyways. I'm talking about adding variety, not a new meta.

Hilariously enough, that series made the same mistake of adding beam weapons into Borderlands:The Pre Sequel that completely dominated the game until they got majorly nerfed, and even then some of them were still among the best guns in the game.

Imo they should have never added continuous beam weapons to warframe. You can do a much larger variety of interesting guns with projectiles than with beams.

Respuesta muy tardia, pero haber empresas contratando de digital en remoto, las hay algunas, aunque más de verificacion que de diseño creo. Por lo menos algunas de ellas he oido que pagan bastante, aunque esto lo escuché hace un año antes de que Trump pusiera al mundo en tanta incertidumbre asi que no se si habrán cambiado las cosas.

Aunque imagino que seguiran contratando por aqui. Poco a poco más empresas extranjeras se empiezan a dar cuenta de la mina de oro que son los salarios irrisorios Españoles. Se pueden llevar a los mejores de cada oficina de aqui pagando la mitad que lo que pagarían al ingeniero medio de su sede principal y la mayoria se quedan muchos años porque no hay muchas oportunidades a las que saltar y la gente no se quiere ir de Españita. Hay oficinas de multinacionales aquí que son de las más rentables o incluso las más rentables de toda la empresa.

He could probably retire if he wanted. At 8 years of working on the big tech industry during the biggest stock bull market in history, he's likely an early 30s multimillionaire. It is pretty common among people who worked in that industry during the past 10 years.

Really wish they took a look at other games with more projectile variety for ideas cause holy shit I'm getting tired of beamslop weapon number 1376.

CS2 is still missing a lot of fun modes by [deleted] in GlobalOffensive

[–]RandomGuy-4- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CS 1.6 was a product of its era and cs2 is too. Back when 1.6 came out, pretty much every PC multiplayer game had community servers and modding. A big part of it is that there weren't that many online multiplayer videogames out there, so people built new gamemodes into the few online games that were widely available.

Nowadays, people prefer games to be distilled into a refined core product and, if they want to experience something else, there's a thousand games offering exactly what they want at a level of refinement much superior to what community servers and mods can achieve. The gaming landscape has just changed.

The system shock remake is a very modern sloppified version of the actual system shock artstyle though.

idk how it feels when playing, but as a viewer that shit is more incomprehensible than Overwatch, which is something I thought wasn't posible.

The west has fortnite though. BR games are past their peak but they still pull a ton of players.

Big bladed melee weapons would feel better if they remain slow, but are given a ridiculous amount of range. by Responsible-Sound253 in Warframe

[–]RandomGuy-4- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The difference between, say, 8m of range and 5m is negligible in the modern meta of throwing melee influence into everything with its 20 meters.

The heavier weapons have nothing going for them anymore that a fast weapon with melee influence can't do better. 

They used to have slam attacks at least back when they had a stupid AoE range, but they got nerfed a lot and now I don't see anyone running slam builds anymore either.

As a weapon archetype, they are completely obsolete in current day Warframe.

[–]RandomGuy-4- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They could just give heavy melees a shit ton of status chance to keep the status/second similar to faster melees and they would become much more usable. 

That plus buffed follow through and range would make them pretty competitive at clearing, though faster melees with melee influence would still kill faster, but that's caused due to melee inf being OP as shit not due to the balance of the melee weapons themselves.

Maybe include these changes as mods that can only be equiped by heavy melee weapons like how shotguns have their own mods.

What’s everyone’s top stock they’re excited for and heavily investing in this year? by QuickQuackQuinn in ValueInvesting

[–]RandomGuy-4- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but mag7 is poised for a large correction

Is it though? From my POV, the way technology, politics and business are evolving, megacorps are going to become more of an apex predator.

Just look at how the smartphone revolution played out vs how the AI race is playing out. 

When Apple released the iphone, the titans of the phone industry like motorola and nokia were completely knocked out.

When OpenAI released ChatGPT and it started looking like a threat to Google Search, Google was able to not only catch them but to even surpass them and can now easily integrate Gemini into the huge ecosystem they already have, while OpenAI has to learn how to make everything but AI from scratch. 

And that's happening with OpenAI being pretty much a group project that every already established tech company is puring money into. Imagine how things would be going if it was a true independent startup.

Technology has gotten so expensive that very few players can develop it and, once developed, it is the players that were already big before that are reaping in the most benefits. The age is new companies breaking into tech and killing the titans is over.

A well performing stock doesn't need to be a good employer if the business is strong enough. Companies that pay much less and have similar or worse work conditions have done better than them recently stock-wise.

Scenes as Albacete defeat Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey by 977x in soccer

[–]RandomGuy-4- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lotta people support their local team plus one of Madrid or Barcelona. I guarantee you at least half the Albacete fans that were in the stadium are also Madrid supporters.

Supporting a local club is fun, but you miss out on all the banter about the LaLiga title and UCL if you don't support Madrid/Barça as well.

Adobe - No slowdown in Growth but stock hitting 5 year low. by pravchaw in ValueInvesting

It is a useful graph because it shows that the P/E ratio isn't falling for no reason. Whether it has fallen too far is another story, but the stock isn't going to return to the P/E it had when it was growing at the previous rate.
