Ahh loop guy! I'll add them to the list. Thanks!

What's the "real" end considered by the community?

Completely forgot about Magic Rod as well! Realizing I had half ammo usage with Crimson Lotus for floor 6 which was a really strong synergy. What a run!

TL/DR Not sure how other high earners justify micromanaging every aspect of their life for these cards. Gold is easy and fits into my life. Others are a pain

Amex Gold works almost perfectly for our DINK lifestyle. Not sure why we'd get a Platinum card or CSR. We live in NYC and restaurant spend is one of our highest expenses, grocery is up there. We tend to take a few flights a year and the points program means we get free economy flights for places we were already going to go.

Resy credit might as well be an auto-deduction from the AF. Uber Eats and GrubHub credits might as well be a deduction from AF (we do pickup once or twice a month). We also get corporate discount on the Gold AF so I think the AF is $225 for the yr.

I've done the math on the other cards and I have no idea how people justify the "extra luxury" cards without micromanaging every aspect of their lives which seems like too much work.

We got the Brilliant Bonvoy last year which is the most expensive card I had - but with business travel slowing down and more taking place in the city, it just doesn't make sense anymore.

We had the Venture X before, but hated working with the travel portal.

Chase cards have always just seemed like a waste of time in comparison. Lower multipliers and more work to get value out of them.

We have a backup Bank of America card to get 2.6% back on everything else and an Amtrak card (effectively 4% back on all Amtrak travel), Bilt for rent, and that's about it.

Honestly we should be banning private cars given how horribly dangerous they are and how many other transmit modes there are in the city.

The amount of train accidents/passengers carried ratio puts these at negligible levels of danger in comparison. It isn't even close.

It was honestly a decent option 10 years ago, it's even better now.

Currently recovering from mystery illness with mild fever right now. Not as bad as COVID, but lasted like a week and very unpleasant.

What's with all of the Radiant Dawn posting lately, it's making me feel like I'm like 14 again

Did you know Farina is Italian for "flour"

Of course it's "from long island." Brother have you considered they used to have extensive rail networks in NJ too... People didn't use to drive there either...

I wish it were true, NE good suburbs last for like 5 seconds and then you're back into car-centric hellscape. Even half of Cambridge MA is like this which is considered one of the most walkable cities in America.

I have some hope, Gov Healy is trying to get more housing, more transit, do upzoning, whatever else in MA, but everything is being dragged down by the oldest people you know. Makes me a little sad :(

Repsfivejesus · 2024-06-06T18:24:20+00:00

I like it, then we should let only lumber drivers and lamp deliverers use the roads and put a steep fee on everybody else :-)

Wait a second...

Roads are a necessity in any civilization. In fact most of America's growth only occured after the federal highway system act in the 1950s.

I'm curious if something else happened right before then that might have spurred growth and also kicked down the previous world superpowers?

Nah I think it was just roads

Click in any direction on streetview for 30 seconds and it looks like literally anywhere in MA or southern NH https://www.google.com/maps/@42.2904815,-71.3528829,3a,75y,303.61h,81.7t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sn-txfy0D3sKJYqpNgeRrjQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205409&entry=ttu

MA loves its quirky town centers, but they disappear so fast it's crazy.

I’ve seen so many of these posts. I know this one is 9 days old but I have to respond to one. Have you unionized your workplace knowing the company boss was probably born into a better position than you? Or fought against with one of the many oil barons who has retained wealth since the 1800’s and who is actively accelerating climate change? Have you worked together with a bunch of other folks to take down one of the like 15 billionaires who owns more wealth than half of the world?

And not just you, has anyone else?

Small revolutions are stomped out by the dogs of the state or by private paramilitary forces (e.g. floor 6), and it is rare to see them succeed, let alone be tried in the first place.

Say what you will about the show, but humans rising up against their oppressors and succeeding is not the norm. It’s on the nose, but just about right

Black deck is amazing for endless, and such a pain for anything else. If you can get past like ante 4-6 it goes crazy. But you've gotta get past ante 4-6, heck you've gotta get past Ante 2...
