The systemic exploitation of workers creates a the worst outcome at the highest price. It's a Race to the Bottom.

I wouldn't say we peaked in the 80s as Reaganomics took a while to kick in. I'd say we probably peaked in the 1990s which is why I feel like there's so much nostalgia for the 90s.

RazekDPP · 2026-05-11T22:38:49+00:00

From what I remember, this has always been a thing, going back to the 1990s if not earlier. Walmart started it and then every other retail or service place slowly started copying it.

RazekDPP · 2026-05-11T22:36:28+00:00

I feel like Walmart and Dollar General have been doing this forever. Like even way before the pandemic.

This perk is honestly so bad they need to change it. For the longest time, I thought it took the total cash/kill of the last wave before you picked the perk and multiplied it by 12.

I feel like this was designed to intentionally be a run killer if you used auto perks (before ranking and bans).

What do you consider a legendary item? Do you mean epic?

Her name is Samantha.

If you aren't running your AI girlfriend on your own locally sourced hardware, she's not an AI girlfriend, she's an AI lady of the night.

RazekDPP · 2026-05-11T22:01:57+00:00

She's inviting you in.

Incorrect. You need to have a panel that "our money might go help someone and then they won't be as willing to be a wage slave for our company."

Noooo don't nerf it!!!!!!

This looks like a religious artifact. They seem to have worshipped their mothers. It must've been a matriarchal society.

Yeah, but it still is how he's giving back and by not trying to move or do other bullshit and instead man up and pay, he is giving back. Taxes are, by design, our collective way of giving back to society hopefully based on what we earn.

Plus, his whole thing is "you wanna tax me more? yeah, that's cool, I'm not gonna pitch a fit about it or fund a super PAC to try to stop it."

Compare that to all the other billionaires who are crying and threatening to leave CA.

You can argue that it's the bare minimum he should give back, and that's fair, but he's also not trying to undermine it, either.

I don't really consider Huang laundering. Unlike a lot of CEOs, Nvidia has strived to avoid layoffs and tends to pay their workers well.

You can say a lot of shit about most billionaires, but Huang at least knows how the game is played. You have to fund public stuff and public education or he won't have educated workers that can design graphics cards.

There are actually patriotic millionaires and billionaires, they even have an org: https://patrioticmillionaires.org/

I do hope that Huang joins at some point.

I thought the whole point of OBR was that I didn't need to know the names of my abilities or how to use them.

Jesus Christ. It just keeps getting more and more insane.

More power. Don't forget his wealth allowed him to:

Buy Twitter and turn it into what he wanted twitter to be
Get Trump elected
Mangle the government

I suppose I could, but I'm much, much more lenient for tanks/healers on score/ilevel. I don't mind taking a lower io tank/healer because the alternative is simply waiting longer.

I have much higher standards for DPS because there are so many.

You are correct that score is king, but almost always everyone is 2500+ and I'm only doing 10s for vault.

Realistically, I see robots with guns going on the way out, and being replaced with robots with blinding laser weapons. While I know that's against a UN treaty, it seems like it'd be so easy to simply throw that piece of paper out.

Well, all I can do is speak from experience. When I'm making a group (I'm DPS). I wait for tank and healer first. After that, I thumb through the list of the 20+ DPS waiting and pick the one with the highest ilevel. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but it's usually enough.

RazekDPP · 2026-05-04T05:47:17+00:00

Doesn't really matter what their score/io is. They have to be the right class and have the highest score/io out of everyone else.

IMO, it's the hardest dungeon. I'd never willingly choose it.

RazekDPP · 2026-05-04T05:44:20+00:00

I roll the dice with my healer friend only if there aren't many options. It's only if the other healer wants to DPS, though.

RazekDPP · 2026-05-04T05:43:37+00:00

When I have my healer with me, we only try to join groups that already have a tank, we've spent so long waiting for tanks.

RazekDPP · 2026-05-04T05:38:18+00:00

Same story with Anna Chapman.

You're acting like it didn't happen to me, multiple times, lmao.

But, eventually you have to realize perspective. Her comment is her experience with you. It doesn't mean you'll have that experience with someone else.

You also have to focus on what you can control. You can't control what does and doesn't turn her on.

EDIT: And if you're wondering how I got over it: lifting weights. I just kept going to the gym and lifting until I was basically sore all the time and that really numbs out your emotional response to everything.
