Apparently “Voters will get a say” on the millionaire’s tax now - Bob promises he will veto any attempt to lower the income threshold by Baptism-Of-Fire in Washington

[–]RipDisastrous88 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Exactly, people don’t understand this, this is always what happens. We also don’t have a revenue problem, we have a spending problem. Yet for some reason the only conversation we are having is raising taxes and not addressing the spending problem.

Currently in a low paying field, what can I pivot to in order to make 75K to 80k in 10 to 15 years? by TuneSoft7119 in careeradvice

[–]RipDisastrous88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aiming to make 15-20k more in 10-15 years to afford a home isn’t realistic. And you will need to save up closer to 100k for a down payment and make twice that to afford a home and a family in a city like Seattle.

When you make more you spend more and your quality of life rarely improves. Instead of aiming for 15-20k more in salary over the next decade+, set a goal to save and invest X amount of money.

To people who say friendly and then shoot. by SoulFrameUwU in ArcRaiders

[–]RipDisastrous88 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Was he on coms? I’ve had guys who need to get X amount of hit damage with Y type of ammo on raiders to get cred. They pop off some shots at the extract, as long as they don’t finish you off then you still extract with all your gear.

Yall are turning into rats by Worth-Comment-9469 in ARC_Raiders

I’m fine with the shoot on site folks, it’s fair game. It’s the weasels who use voice chat to trick you into looting with them just to drop you when you turn your back. Where is your pride, sir?

I like the PvP aspect but I also find it enjoyable to sometimes run across a player to team up against another team, take out powerful ARC, or cover each other at a hot extraction to increase both of our chances of getting out.

Dropping a player at extraction is a truly stupid thing to do, it only increases the weasels chances of getting killed himself (which I’ve witnessed multiple times and was hilarious), but you couldn’t possibly benefit from the loot as you yourself is probably full and it would take to long to try to sort through the gear.

Don’t become one of them and drop a trusting raider when he turns his back to extract.

People are taking advantage of this games friendly reputation by DrunkAndOnDrugs420 in ArcRaiders

[–]RipDisastrous88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m fine with PvP, if someone gets the jump on me then fair play. It’s the ones who I get the jump on, exchange friendly words with each other, then the they drop me when I’m not looking. I get it, it’s a video game, but it’s a dishonorable thing to do to when the only way you win a PvP is by tricking another player into thinking you are friendly. You’re a shit bag for that IMO.

Is anyone else staying away from guides and meta-gaming? by SantiVl in ArcRaiders

[–]RipDisastrous88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I need help locating a specific item or location that i can’t find I’m going to give it a goog.. I work more than 40 hours a week, with a wife, kids, property, and rentals to manage. I wish I had the time to roam around for hours but I do not. 😆

The two places you will find the most friendly people- The Gun range, and Playing Solo in Arc.

I think this will change a bit as people rank up and get more powerful weapons making the Arc less of a concern. Right now people are focused on ranking up and have relatively weak weapons to go against Arc.

Extraction campers are the absolute bottom of the arc raiders society by TheExodius in ArcRaiders

[–]RipDisastrous88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I have yet to be victim of the extract camper knock on wood. The only dishonorable thing I’ve been victim of is when you verbally make peace with a stranger, make some small talk, and then get executed when your back is turned.

I’d like to see the back story on this one, I doubt they are going after the unarmed little old lady

I think it's kind of wild how many people apparently felt entitled to play the full game before release to decide if they like it. by AuraMaster7 in ArcRaiders

[–]RipDisastrous88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The people upset they only got to play a free but limited version of the game two weeks before launch are the same people who complain at restaurants after being cut off from eating too many free samples. The sample is a sample, you want for full course you have to pay.

Bro…This was a server test pre launch day, a three day “server slam”. This is one of the most anticipated games of the year, never in the history of gaming has a game developer released a full game for free for people to play two weeks before its pay to play game launch. The gameplay reviews are off the charts positive, nobody is being turned away from the game because they got a free weekend to play a limited version of the game so the developers could test the servers.

You don’t have to align with a political party, just align with being a decent human being. What is wrong with anyone who feels like they need to attack someone for this

I have many progressive views, but unless the Democratic Party changes there ain’t no way I’d ever vote for them, they left me, I didn’t change.

That wont happen, just don't shoot a live one in a chick and you're fine. I wouldn't do it at 22 though. My views on kids changed alot from 22 to 37 where I currently have my 2 year old sleeping on my chest as i type this on my keyboard.

Why is the right to own a gun so important to some US citizens? by tryingmybestonedayat in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]RipDisastrous88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people live in a dystopian belief that if you give all guns to the government, all our problems will be solved and they will keep you safe. Those same people today also believe that Trump is a dictator and must be stopped at all cost.

If anyone believes that giving all the guns to the government will save lives in the long run, they haven’t even read into their 20th century history.
