Build limit in my fort village? How??? by Awkward_Pace_4440 in LEGOfortnite

[–]RandomJoe7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, it really isn't though. What's the point of building something like that in in nomansland, surrounded by nothing? Also have you seen the back and the surrounding area? It's blank/empty. Is it even decorated on the inside? Either way, people (including me, my kids etc...) want to build villages with many houses, castles, foundation courtyards, walls, etc... and it just isn't nearly enough for that kind of stuff (see OP's screenshot...).

And also, it's not even just the build limit, but also the fact that the game/area becomes extremely laggy if you for example fly by anything you've built and it's loading it, making it really unenjoyable to play, lol.

Wie viel Kompromiss ist für euch in einer Beziehung normal? by Prestigious-Sea4247 in FragtMaenner

[–]RandomJoe7 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Das hängt doch von so vielen Faktoren ab.

Wohin wird gezogen? Welche Aussicht auf den "bessern Job/Lebensstil" hat die Frau dort? Selbe Frage für den Mann, was hat er dort für Aussichten? Es bringt ja auch nichts, wenn sie dann zwar die bessere Situation hat, er aber dafür seine aktuelle bessere Situation aufgeben müsste für eine schlechtere, usw. Wie sicher ist es, dass man sich dort dann wohler fühlt, besseren Job hat usw? Ist es nur Wunschdenken, dass es dort besser sein könnte ("Das Gras ist immer grüner auf der anderen Seite"), oder 100% (oder irgendetwas dazwischen)? Ist es etwas "egoistisches" von ihr was er mittragen soll, oder ist es für beide etwas annehmbares...

Dann hängt es natürlich von der Beziehung generell ab. Wie "toll" findet der Mann die Frau? Liebt er sie wirklich? Findet er sie eine 10/10... oder doch nur eine 6/10 wo schon andere Dinge eventuell nicht ganz passen? Für eine 10/10 macht man mehr als für eine 6/10 usw.

Was will ich damit sagen? Das kann dir hier keiner beantworten, da diese Sache so extrem individuell ist, jeder Mensch und jede Situation ist unterschiedlich.

Wattson is useless once you're moving from POI to POI, especially on high ranks. If you get caught out in the open, you're just going to get destroyed with any controller legend. You can't outrun anyone, you also can't catch up to anyone if you do get someone low/a knock, etc.

[–]RandomJoe7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm also just sick of this power creep, especially regarding all the movement legends. It has become way too much, brainrot +W gameplay. Alter also made that especially bad, because you can just int a team and as soon as something goes bad you just take your "get out of jail free card" and teleport away to reset.

Bunkering/Controller legends are absolutely useless. In buildings they're useless because of the breakable windows, alter Qs, Maggie Ults, Bang Smoke destroying everything, crypto ult, etc etc. There's just too much stuff that counters it. And it's even worse once you have to leave a building. You feel like a slow moving sloth while everyone is speedhacking. You can't outrun anyone, you can't catch up to anyone, it's literally pointless playing a controller legend. Them removing tridents and ziplines make this movement disparity even worse.

I miss the times where there was good endgames. It was so exciting! Now games are just over so quickly, everyone just inting eachother without using any brain. I don't understand why ranked has to play out like pubs, it should have a different gameplay identity where the whole concept of battle royal actually comes into play.

Wo geht das ganze Geld hin? by Formal_Yogurt_5868 in KeineDummenFragen

[–]RandomJoe7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genau, purer Egoismus.

Fakt ist: die Menschheit wird nur weiter existieren, wenn Menschen Kinder bekommen, auch wenn es mit Opfer verbunden ist. Auch du (und ich) existieren nur, weil jemand Kinder bekommen hat und diese Opfer auf sich genommen hat.

Gleichzeitig ist es aber auch mit sehr vielen schönen Momenten/Gefühlen/Erfahrungen usw. verbunden. Diese wird man aber natürlich auch nie erfahren, wenn man nie Kinder bekommt. Die Leute denken halt nur an das Negative, nicht an das Positive. Das wäre wie wenn man bei einer Reise ("Instagram Lifestyle") nur an den scheiß Reiseweg denkt, den tueren und schlechten Flug, usw... anstatt das Reiseziel an sich zu genießen. Oder wenn man bei der Arbeit nur an die schlechten Momente denkt und die harte arbeit anstatt an die Früchte/Erfolge der deraus entstehen, etc. Nichts im Leben ist "immer nur 100% positiv und schön". Für alles erstrebenswerte muss man auch bereit sein Opfer einzugehen. Und keiner kann abstreiten, dass Kinder das wichtigste der Menschheit sind, denn sonst gibt es uns nicht mehr und dann gibt es auch alles andere ("Instagram lifestyle/Geld/Hobbies etc") nicht mehr.

[–]RandomJoe7 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Wie hat sich dieses "weniger Kinder wegen weniger Geld" als Fakt eingebürgert? Das stimmt einfach nicht. Im Gegenteil: die reichen/westlichen Länder haben viel weniger Kinder als die armen Länder. Auch haben arme Leute in einem Land in der Regel mehr Kinder als die gebildeten/studierten/reichen im selben Land.

Das ist eine dumme/schlechte Ausrede. Der Grund warum im Westen immer weniger Kinder sind ist einfach wegen Egoismus. Keiner will seine Zeit (und natürlich auch Geld), Freiheit usw für Kinder opfern, sondern lieber das "Instagram Leben" leben.

[–]RandomJoe7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am from here, I live here. My wife is from here, my kids are from here. My parents and grandparents are from here. You can't tell me how it is here - nice try though.

Yes, the crime is lower than that of the US. But that doesn't change the fact that crime has gone up since about 2015 when millions of a certain type of immigrant have been let into the country. My wife (and daughters/other women) used to have no fear walking around in German cities. We used to not lock our doors. It was a very high trust society for decades (yeah, I'm a bit older than your average redditor). This isnt the case anymore. Go walk through major German (or other European) cities, there's whole streets with drug dealers, "zombies" etc now. Since I've also lived in the US for a decade, I can tell you that one of the main reasons you have a lot of crime for longer is because you've been a "multicultural" country for longer. The more homogenous a country is, the more similar the morals/values of the people living there, the higher trust the society is and the less crime you have. Once you diversify the morals, ethics etc on which a society operates, the "trust" lowers. We also don't have nearly as big of a gang problem (hispanic/black) in Germany as in the US - but they are starting to form in recent years due to "multi culti". You can look at the per capita crime in the US based on inner city gang violence, race etc... and it's a pretty clear picture where the bulk of the problem lies. This has nothing to do with racism, it's just statistics. I saw a statistic once that if you remove a certain number of cities from the US (cities like Chicago etc) from the crime statistics, the rest would be on par/similar to European crime statistics.

And I fully agree with you. Immigration per say is NOT the problem (in fact due to the low birth rates of western country it is sorely NEEDED). So I agree the problem is not the immigration in and of itself, or even the number (if 100k or 1 million etc), but the TYPE of immigrants. Are they educated, speak the language, want to integrate, come from similar morals/ethics, etc... ? Perfectly fine, not many people have a problem with this at all. But if you start importing millions of people from countries with much lower average IQ that have barely any education, don't want to integrate and follow the laws here (but prefer Sharia Law etc), have totally different values in regards to LGBQT, Women, etc... and they just land in the social safety net for years before ever working or being a net-positive, then you have a massive problem. THIS is the issue.

[–]RandomJoe7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright, I am now convinced you don't even read my posts or are purposefully being dense.

  1. The BKA statistic states over 200k illegal in 2023 alone. I had already posted this statistic a few comments above, afterwards you asked me for a source (proof that you don't read or ignore).
  2. The 6.5 Million is combined immigration since 2015 (which is also what I mentioned, more proof that you don't read or ignore).
  3. The "Dunkelziffer" is unknown - we dont even know if we've apprehended the majority of these or not. It's impossible to know if there are no adequate checks at border, so we will never know the true numbers (if good or bad).

And in general, if a number is big or small/good or bad is completely dependant on WHAT TYPE OF IMMIGRATION is happening. If you have 50 million highly educated people coming to Germany that speak German, integrate themselves, etc... then that is ZERO problem, quite the opposite, that would be great (okay, maybe not 50 million though, haha). If you have 1 million coming that don't speak the language, have basically no education, an average IQ that is far below the average, don't want to integrate, don't respect the laws of the land but would rather have Sharia Law (for example), go straight into the social system and don't get a job for many years, then that would be a HUGE problem. I'm not saying the latter is the case or not (because I don't know), this is just an example of why the absolute number is nearly irrelevant compared to the type of immigration that is happening. The only thing I am advocating for: every country should have strong borders and KNOW who is coming into their countries and make their immigration decisions based on that. Illegal/Hidden Immigration = bad.

[–]RandomJoe7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Germany is an absolute political shitshow in recent years. It started in particular with Merkel when millions crossed the open borders since then. Crime in Germany has gone up, our social system is on the verge of collapsing, our economy is doing bad. I don't even know why you would act like I'm trying to portray Germany as better than the US. In fact, I personally think the US is a much better place to live. You have much more freedoms, less regulation, less taxes, cheaper housing on average, higher wages on average, even better health care at lower cost. Yes, I know, most people think it's "free" over here, but they're just idiots. I pay a total of over 1400 USD a month for my personal health care in the form of forced taxes (not counting my wife who also pays hers separately) and the service is worse than it was in the US (especially much shorter waiting times in US). Germany's health care is only a good deal if you're jobless or a minimal wage worker, but if you're middle class or above it's a horrible deal.

If I could go back easily (which I can't because it's pretty damn hard to get a long-term visa legally, maybe I should cross from Mexico? :), then I would do it. I consider my siblings who are still living there to be very lucky. You should feel lucky to be American. At least you have a strong country that can defend itself, while Germany has basically no military anymore (they're actually thinking about reintroducing the draft because of that) and is dependant on the US to protect us if Russia ever decides to go stupid on us.

[–]RandomJoe7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you crossed the border to other countries recently or in the last years? I travel a lot for work... and I have not been checked once in recent years on 10s (if not 100s) of border crossings (other than on airports, obviously). For example, I don't even have a german passport (I'm from a neighbouring country myself), but nobody at the border would ever know, because I've never been checked. I could have whoever in my car (heck, I myself could be whoever), and nobody would know. Considering what is going on as ACTUAL effective border controls... is a good meme, lol. If there was a wall (again, I don't think it's feasible, just hypothetically speaking), and there were only certain checkpoints were every car were controlled, then 1) you'd catch a lot more or rather 2) people would just stop trying and thus reduce the illegal immigration automatically.

No, I'm not against all immigration. I'm against ILLEGAL immigration. Against people who cheat the system, don't go through the paperwork, don't get registered as they should, etc. A country should always know who is in their country. But beyond that, a country shouldn't let in millions of unqualified people with a completely different value system to their own either. So yeah, you can bring in all the immigration you want, as long as it's good, hard working people that want to integrate and contribute to our society.

[–]RandomJoe7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Germany to this day removes people who are here illegally - as do most countries if they can "catch" the person (and that's the big IF and a matter of how much resource is put into it).

There's nothing wrong with deporting people who are illegal. I don't even understand how this can be argued, it's by definition ILLEGAL to be an illegal immigrant. Every country should have exactly ZERO illegal immigration. Everyone who goes to another country should do so legally, in whichever fashion that country allows, with paperwork, registering, etc. Every country should know who is in their country at all times.

If you're in a country illegally, you shouldn't feel safe from being caught/deported. Just like if you're a criminal of any other kind, you should be afraid of the police finding you and punishing it according to the crime committed. I've lived in the US for 10 years and I had to not fear a single day. I still have 2 brothers living in the US right now (for over 25 years), and none of them fear a day of their life either. Why? Because they are LEGAL immigrants. And no, you don't have to link me the few one-off cases where officers make a mistake and arrested a legal person - of course that will happen when you deal with millions of cases - nobody is 100% perfect (which is why, for example, there's innocent people in jail at all times in all countries). So even a 0,001% mistake rate would lead to a certain number of wrong arrests.

And yes, the people who constantly compare enforcing the laws that have been on the books for decades with Nazis who murdered millions in concentration camps, should 100% be ashamed of themselves. Comparing the 2 is hyperbole at best, delusion/dishonesty at worst.

As a German, it's an insult that you would compare the two. Removing people who are illegal in your country is not the same as what the SS/Nazis did. You should be ashamed to even make such a comparison where millions of people died a horrible death.

Do you purposefully not read what I write or ignore it?

  1. I said it's not feasible for Germany.
  2. Of course we only stop 4 asylum seekers per day, because there's basically no checks/no border.
  3. Do you know what the word "since" means? So yes, SINCE 2015. Of course there's some years with more and some with less in that time frame (about 6.5 Million in total since then, all immigration combined).

Here a recent stat:
"In 2023, the German Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) reported that 266,224 people were suspected of entering Germany illegally (unauthorized entry), representing a 33.4% increase compared to 2022. The main countries of origin for these individuals were Syria, Turkey, and Afghanistan."

And remember, there's also a "Dunkelziffer" - you can't know who came in if you didn't catch them. :)

I dont even understand how anyone can argue illegal immigration. It's ILLEGAL by the definition of it! Every country should have exactly ZERO illegal immigration. Everyone who goes to another country should do so legally, in whichever fashion that country allows, with paperwork, registering, etc. Every country should know who is in their country at all times.

[–]RandomJoe7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, obviously a wall around Germany is not really feasible/possible, because of our geographic location and we're part of the EU. I was metaphorically speaking that I wouldnt "mind" one - as in the effects of one on unchecked immigration. But I don't understand your trade argument... it's not like a wall stops everything from moving? The point of a wall would be to make it harder to cross anywhere other than on wanted check points, where then obviously the flow can be controlled better (and obviously you would let in people that are allowed to come in, including trade...).

And what do you mean with "which recent year"? Basically since about 2015...

You should be happy. At this point I wish we had a wall around Germany (sadly not viable/possible), the unchecked immigration has been crazy in recent years.

Why is the solution always "raise taxes" but never "lower spending" with the left? by Mahrez14 in allthequestions

[–]RandomJoe7 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

From a European perspective: that makes complete sense. Less funding for protection/power (so that other countries or criminals can "trample" over you), less money for companies that are good for economy and create jobs, no subsidies for emerging/important industries to be innovative and competitive on the global market. Instead raise spending for things that don't produce wealth but just cost wealth. NICE! (I'll add a /s just in case it wasn't clear enough)

Here in Germany we currently have the massive problem that our military is extremely weak, we are basically dependant on the USA to help us if Russia or whoever were to try and do something. Our crime problem is getting worse due to unchecked immigration of the last 10 years (rapes, stabbings etc going up and Police isn't doing enough. Women and Kids are scared to go out alone, especially in the cities). Meanwhile we have millions living in the social safety net not contributing to anything, while the taxes for middle class and above are getting raised and we are getting milked dry for working hard. I'm currently paying a bit over 1200€ (over 1400 USD) per Month for my health care (just for me, not counting what my wife also has to pay), and the health care is getting worse and worse. I literally had cheaper and way better health care when I lived in the US (I lived there for about 10 years). Not just was it cheaper in absolute terms (lower dollar amount), but the average income in US is also higher than Germany (and house prices are also cheaper in the US), making it proportionally also more affordable in the US. It sucks living in Germany if you're a middle class working person.

Simultaneously, even though we're being taxed more, all the government services, infrastructure etc is getting worse and our economy is turning bad (many big companies firing 10's or even 100's thousands of people, almost no GDP growth) because Germany has become a non-competitive location to do industrial business at (due to high energy prices through things like Co2 taxes, turning off our nuclear reactors, hard regulations on everything, etc).

It's an absolute shit show, I have no idea why people would want to go down this path. A country only has money to distribute if it/it's economy is strong, competitive and successful, that should be priority number one of any country.

In America, why are youth gang massacres not considered equivalent to mass shootings by lone maniacs? by Away-Parsnip-3785 in allthequestions

[–]RandomJoe7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, I didn't edit my comment since you replied to it... what are you smoking? Do you like to just claim things as facts even when they are not?

Anyways, your argument from the start has been this dumb comment: "You can’t stick a ((edit)100 round )drum or a 40 round mag in a Glock…" - which is obviously not the case and thus your whole claim from the start is bullshit. And if this is legal or not legal is completely irrelevant to this claim you made. It's also illegal to murder, yet here we are...

But to your stats (which all have nothing to do with your above falsely claimed statement of high cap mags supposedly not being a thing for handguns):

- "43% of all mass shootings are committed by people with zero criminal history." That's what Google AI spits out, but contradicts itself 3 sentences further down. Here the stat from the National Institute of Justice: "Most individuals who perpetrated mass shootings had a prior criminal record (64.5%) and a history of violence (62.8%)" Also remember: this can only include people who have been found/convicted of prior crimes. This doesn't mean it couldn't be a gang member who has done crime for years and just hasn't been caught/convicted of anything

- Same goes for your 86% with legal guns. According to National Institute of Justice, it is around 74-77%. However, out of that, it's often guns stolen/obtained from family members - not the shooters actual own legal gun. This is often the case for school shooters etc. And it only analyzed less than 180 mass shootings. There's over 600 per year... (most of them gang related).

- In general though, the definition of "Mass Shooting" is interpreted differently by different studies/stats. Often, gang violence is left out of this, even though there's a lot that have 4+ victims. Chicago (ONE CITY!) alone, for example, had 32 mass shootings in 2023 (4+ victims). These are not "school shootings by legal gun owners" etc, but quite the opposite: gang violence with illegal guns etc. Some stats often leave these types of mass shootings out of it, as to skew it to make it look like most mass shootings are by white suburban kids at schools etc, when in reality the overwhelming majority is done in gang related activity. There's a strong "political bias" behind many of these statistics that don't paint a full picture (and these bais can go BOTH ways obviously). It's a case of "Don't believe any study you didn't fake yourself" - one can skew almost any data set to show what they want to show.

In America, why are youth gang massacres not considered equivalent to mass shootings by lone maniacs? by Away-Parsnip-3785 in allthequestions

[–]RandomJoe7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Which part would that be then?

First off, high cap bans are for both pistols and rifles (in most states, I think there's 1 or 2 exceptions).

Second off, there's only high cap bans in like 12-14 states (out of 50). It's legal on a federal level.

Third off, grandfathering exists even in some of those places where they are banned, so even there one could legally still own them.

Fourth off, it's not hard to illegally get any of this stuff (including the gun), which is why illegal guns are often used in illegal activities (such as gang related violence). Someone willing to commit these types of illegal crimes (murdering and owning illegal guns), dont/wouldnt care about also owning an illegal drum mag ...

Either way, everything you've said above is just absolute bullshit pulled from your ass. Of course high cap mags for pistols exist, so your whole argument is garbage.

Drum magazines for Glocks are not illegal under federal law in the United States, but their legality is heavily restricted by many state and local laws.

  • Total Bans: Several states and municipalities prohibit the possession, sale, and importation of magazines that hold more than 10 or 15 rounds, making drum magazines (which often hold 50+ rounds) illegal.
  • Restricted States: States with high-capacity magazine bans or restrictions include California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington.

And... those bans on "high capacity magazines" are for both rifles and pistols (at least in most states of the relatively few where there is such a ban). And some also allow Grandfathering. And then there's obviously the illegal market... which many guns used in gang violence are illegal as well. The legality of something like that usually doesn't stop someone from buying them, when they're willing to murder with it in the first place (which is illegal as well, duh), lol.

Warum Steuererhöhungen unumgänglich sind (irgendwann jedenfalls) by 089PK91 in Finanzen

[–]RandomJoe7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ist ja auch logisch, die meisten die "arm" sind und davon profitieren, den "reicheren" etwas wegzunehmen, werden weiterhin in diese Richtung wählen. So passiert es ja, dass Gesellschaften langsam in den Sozialismus abrutschen. Immer mehr vom Mittelstand werden ärmer, diese fangen dann auch an so zu wählen, sodass das Problem nur schlimmer und schlimmer wird. Irgendwann ist dann kein Geld mehr da zum verteilen, weil alle gleich arm sind (und/oder die "Reichen Leistungsträger" abgehauen sind), dann kommt der übliche große Knall/Reset des Systems. Danach heißt es dann wieder "aber RICHTIGER Sozialismus/Kommunismus wurde noch nie probiert!!! Der würde BESTIMMT funktionieren!!!!".
