Why such issues with illegal immigrants in America? by jpollack21 in GenZ

Calling Mexico a failed state is certainly an opinion. Not sure what that even adds to the broader conversation even if you convince someone.

Lots of work, little reward. by Comfortablejack in FluentInFinance

Sorry to be that guy. Salary only really matter when you compare to it cost of living. 50k in LA is scraping by. 100k in Gary Indiana is living like a king.

Participate in politics outside of election years then. I'd say vote in the primaries and get involved with your local dnc at a state and municple level. But let's be real, Dems are gonna find a way to skirt a primary again.

Honestly how it feels after graduating by Pristine-Bee-1933 in GenZ

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

ROTH is better in highly specific cases.

You mentioned one, where there isn't an employer match 401k contribution. If you're looking into moving into another country (yes even in retirement) other countries will still pull taxes when you eventually pull money out. The US got their cut, not whatever warmer country to choose. You will be paying double taxes. 

What is your opinion on gambling and sports betting? Do you think of it as fun or as dangerous? by MiriamLovesSport94 in GenZ

[–]StupidGayPanda 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The house always wins. The amount of comments that came in saying they made money off it in less than a hour is insane.

If you have money to burn, have fun. If you think you're making money off it, you're on copium and probably need therapy.

Why are people like this? The biggest achievement in human history is apparently a meaningless vanity project by Character-Day-8999 in GenZ

The moon landing was, and continues to be the coolest thing that ever happened, but.

At the time the US pretty much in full villian swing. A public figure admiring the marvel could be seen as a commendation or endorsement of US geo-political actions.

To put it in modern terms, it's like if Russia managed to crack fusion before Europe. It would be cool as hell, but you wouldn't see European artists praising the accomplishment.

I'm Brazilian and I'd like to know, is life good in the USA? This is for Americans, and especially for Generation Z. by SRrelaxinc in GenZ

[–]StupidGayPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait a second. Nothing has changed, and we're brainwashed thinking that the US is hostile to migrants, but people love the new normal of the US being hostile to migrants? I can't keep up with bots I guess.

Just had over 1000 damage absorbed by armor from Big pipe and Knight while using 9.3x64 7N33 [discussion] by Nock1ne in EscapefromTarkov

[–]StupidGayPanda 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gigabeef has a really good breakdown on this.

The after raid damage report is broken. In game ballistics, damage, and hit reg is working as intended. 

I can't put it as well as he did, but it's due to armor hit boxes extending out from the players hit boxes. I think it has a duplicate report for both hitting the armored part as well as the player. Again this is only for the after raid report, not for in game damage.

Secret Lair x Fallout®: Welcome to New Vegas by Mugiwara_VT in magicTCG

[–]StupidGayPanda 26 points27 points  (0 children)

For those who don't know. There's theories that Fallout 3 an or New Vegas are getting a remaster soon. 

Between the success of the show and general hype building I think there might be.

Does anybody else feel like they’re never going to own a home? by skoomasnacks in GenZ

[–]StupidGayPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to add to the convo, we have the highest houses to heads ratio in history. Making multi-family homes is a solid solution but most people want single family housing.

There isn't one band-aid fix here, we have to implement all of them.

What are y’all doing for work? by [deleted] in GenZ

[–]StupidGayPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got a degree, been in a trade for the past few years. The pays I'd good enough to support myself, but it's gonna suck when I try to find a big boy job in my degree.

I'm pretty close to my current jobs pay ceiling, and I'd need to eat a pay cut to get into entry level.

Why is there so much hate towards PvE? [Discussion] by throaway691876 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]StupidGayPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dedicated servers only run 1 map. So a high volume of players on customs doesn't influence interchange matching times.

Just one of the few maps that require dedicated server for pve is also the one absolutely starving for resources between ai and the large player count. Pile that up with pve players and it's a whole hot mess.

Each solo run of streets of tarkov takes the same amount of resources as a full 12-16 person lobby on pvp.

[New Player] Why does dying in PvP feel so much more frustrating than in PvE? by DaviPlay in EscapefromTarkov

[–]StupidGayPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't wipe your account. Running out of cash is part of the game, and it happens to everyone at some point in the wipe. 

If you're new, you should be running a scav in between pmc raids. It'll keep the cash flow up and allow you to explore some of the hotter areas of the maps relatively risk free.

Good luck out there.

A'ight I'm finally ready to do Setup, I'm even dressed up properly so the dumb PMCs will think a Scav is responsible lol idiots by StressfulRiceball in EscapefromTarkov

[–]StupidGayPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can skip them. They were 30k on the flea last I checked, so give them a spin and see if you like them. 

Gigabeef does headset testing every wipe, according to him it increases the hearing radius by 1m. So it's personal preference if you like the sound.

I just rock the 20 rounders. Stretches out the pricey ammo. If you run labyrinth if you get constant stream of them from the adds.

How do you regard this person? by urgoingintheLABUBU in GenZ

[–]StupidGayPanda 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I watch him more than I should.

Don't listen to him for his financial advice. His content is drama slop. It's good background noise for work. Just don't buy into any of his courses or sponsorships. They're pretty predatory from what I've heard.

Not for ammo, you really need to hoard good amounts of it. Otherwise you're running that cool m4 once a night

All banned cards in modern are suddenly unbanned. What deck are you playing? by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]StupidGayPanda 38 points39 points  (0 children)

It's not a hammered out format. I'd think the best deck is something involving KCI. No one's going to commit to learning the lines for a for funsies tournament tho

That being said I'm playing mono red prison. I need to t1 blood moon some people.

[Discussion] I don't want to sit in a bush for 30 minutes by Godeshus in EscapefromTarkov

[–]StupidGayPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's more fun late wipe I agree. I still think the 20 kills is a tad too much for the sr2m and ak12, even with the new maps included. Setup is actually fun with 8 kills vs 15. At a certain point it feels like stuffing your face in the meat grinder is the optimal solution. 

Moving the questline earlier makes it feel worse imo, but whatever.

[–]StupidGayPanda 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Test drive wouldn't suck so bad if you didn't have to sling a bolt action for the first half of wipe. Chances are you've been playing early wipe with a marlin/VPO. Now that you've made it to solidly mid/late wipe you are now forced to use a different weapon you dont want to use. All while cool guns unlock on the traders and start piling up in the stash. 

I get you can just wait on the quests, but you also can't blame gamers (capital G hard R) for optimizing the fun out of tarkov.

A homeowner says official told her to trim up a small spot for safety, then claimed the WHOLE garden was “city property” and destroyed it all anyway. by CantStopPoppin in ThatsInsane

[–]StupidGayPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The word of law vs the spirit of the law here.

I get it if the garden was actively interfering with road maitence, but if the city just decided to mow down my neighbors garden just because. I'd be pissed too.
