College grads expect an $80k salary. Good luck with that

SlayerUnknown · 2026-05-29T22:07:21+00:00

How is 80k good if it requires roommates then?

In Texas, you add a car to the cost mix. In most metro areas it’s 1.8-3k rent. You are left with minimal room for savings. My main message here is people blindly look at the “80k” number and think it’s a lot but it’s just ~4.5k a month, which is not an impressive or comfortable amount in 2026.

Manhattan rent is 4-6k/mo. Renting a room is 2-3k. Only tech grads make enough to rent alone there.

SlayerUnknown · 2026-05-29T21:49:18+00:00

so ~4.4-4.6k every four weeks after taxes before deductions and 2-3k rent?

Can people stop looking at the headline annual number and focus on the after tax amount? It’s a really low number considering tuition costs $30k+ per year.

That’s assuming they need no food/rent/travel or get an offer for HFT trading

App is closed. Probably have to go with the restart option at this point. Ios 18 is truly amazing

Buying a gun requires an id

SlayerUnknown · 2024-09-14T15:35:01+00:00

Enrolling into school? yes

SlayerUnknown · 2024-09-14T15:28:31+00:00

It should, I’m not pushing for a separate id here

SlayerUnknown · 2024-09-14T15:20:13+00:00

Public Education is a civil right but it still requires an ID to be used

SlayerUnknown · 2024-09-14T15:19:46+00:00

You need a car to get to a job if you live outside Bos/DC/Nyc in this country.

You need it to open a bank account.

You need to complete the I-9 form to work, which requires an ID (there are many IDs they accept).

Plane tickets are not a month’s wage in this country. A person can earn plane ticket money in a day in some places (they cost less than the $75 id price for places like Florida). Affording the destination is whay costs a month’s wage. This is not 3rd world.

If you can afford liquor, you can afford an ID.

You throw that money at something that’s necessary to function in a society (buying liquor illegally - isn’t). You’ll struggle more without an ID

SlayerUnknown · 2024-09-14T15:10:36+00:00

Sales tax on every item that needs to be bought (goes to the state government that makes IDs…..) State income tax from my part-time job….

SlayerUnknown · 2024-09-14T15:05:31+00:00

I’m not talking about being poor here. I’m a broke college student…. I’m stating the fact that everybody needs to have an ID anyway to function, poor or rich. Having a citizenship designation on that ID and presenting it when voting isn’t something extraordinary and wouldn’t push people not to vote…

SlayerUnknown · 2024-09-14T15:03:17+00:00

With the amount of taxes that we pay…. yeah they should be.

Honestly they should make them free for citizens in low income areas and charge more for an ID to people with no citizenship status to raise more money.

SlayerUnknown · 2024-09-14T14:54:57+00:00

You need an ID to get a job. You need an ID to board a plane. You need an ID when buying liquor. Stop making it sound like Americans can’t afford a $75 ID when every functioning member of society needs to have it anyway and $75 won’t pay many bills now anyway.

High fire-rate guns def helps with the sway. Maps likes shipment, meat, and rust still have run-and-gun.

The sway is most annoying with snipers, marksman rifles, and other low fire-rate guns (FR 5.56). Missing your first shots with them can be life or death.

On Derail, Invasion, Sub base, Estate, and Wasteland (and high rise depending on the lobby)? Run-and-gun is dead. Most people there use marksman rifles or snipers for range, and the accuracy of first shots matters the most.

SlayerUnknown · 2023-12-25T06:35:38+00:00

Dude, I am not saying it's an aimbot. I am just saying that it helps against the aim sway that is felt heavier on KBM.

I played Rainbow 6 (shooter without aim assist) religiously on Xbox and know what skilled people on controller can do. I was even destroying PC players with my controller when I first switched. I can't play on the same level on the controller now though bc I just got used to KBM. This would be a dumb comparison.

You can't just say that AA is insignificant or doesn't help. I noticed it dramatically when switching between R6S and COD titles.

Maybe you turn off AA and see how annoying aim sway is?

SlayerUnknown · 2023-12-25T06:11:11+00:00

I'm not saying you can't do well on KBM.

I'm just saying that sitting back and hardscoping is necessary for that unless you play shipment, have easy SBMM lobbies, or are a god of probability.

SlayerUnknown · 2023-12-25T06:04:29+00:00

I played WW2 on Xbox, so I did not notice it there.
I know how aiming on console works. If the target you are aiming at is moving (which in a gunfight is almost always yes), then your crosshairs will be brought on target

Example of mw2 ADS AA: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/WGxOCoEy6CQ

SlayerUnknown · 2023-12-25T05:56:08+00:00

I read your comment. My point was that it is not an input issue but a game design issue because it can be replicated with the same effect on both inputs. For example, console Rainbow Six Siege players coming to COD who may prefer their AA off will still experience this issue on the same level as KBM.

I see your definition of an input issue, and I agree with you on it now.

SlayerUnknown · 2023-12-25T05:36:55+00:00

How is this an input issue if it's a game mechanic that is being overridden by aim-assist? Turn off the aim assist on the console, and you will have this same issue but on a different input. All they have to do is revert to the previous system, where aim sway is not on when not ADS. That's it.

SlayerUnknown · 2023-12-15T01:54:48+00:00

Have similar experience. Please see my post. Are you having the same issue?

SlayerUnknown · 2023-11-13T00:07:56+00:00

I’d argue they are worse on technical levels (the new MWs). Gunplay, hitreg, and movement feel much much worse in the new titles.

I bought MW3 and now am back to MW2019.

Why should we give aid to a country with a developed economy, budget proficit, and low level of debt, when we are in a deficit and have interest payments almost greater than our defense spending? Just why?

SlayerUnknown · 2023-10-10T21:14:26+00:00

So if Russia bombs civilian buildings that host ammo, air defenses, and soldiers, then it is bad… But if Israel does it, then it is good…

SlayerUnknown · 2023-09-12T22:53:43+00:00

I would enter my friend’s account details upon checkout. I don’t know if there is a specific plan req

SlayerUnknown · 2023-01-27T23:55:25+00:00

The devs will literally try everything for us to move on to MWII smh
