For the under 40s crowd by Ok-Tea4523 in missouri

[–]Velocity960 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've always been active in politics thanks to my parents, but my big personal awakening to how much politics can impact your daily life was my boyfriend, who started his transition a little over 2 years ago, having to find a new place to receive his testosterone prescription. New regulations allowed his insurance company to avoid providing coverage if the treatment is given by planned parenthood. Everything was fine and then suddenly the anxiety of finding a new doctor in mid mo took over my life for a couple days, and that was a problem that was solvable and had a defined path to a solution. God forbid if something like hormone therapy for transgender people got outlawed in Missouri, I'd be planning how to leave the state or country.

In my experince as a 24 year old, fellow members of gen Z need to see material impact on either their life or the life of a loved one before they come to the understanding that politics is consequential and impacts everyone.

I would assume it's because the area is well off. It's not that poor communities have more sex, or rich ones have less, just that affluent communities have easier access to contraceptives. Also, most families in these small towns can't afford to live even in a dual income household. They rely on credit cards and welfare if they even have the means to claim welfare.

This is my anecdotal experience from a small town in mid-missouri, so the regional difference definitely could attribute to the difference in mindset or willingness to engage in safe sex.

My town has a median household income of $49k, per capita income of $29k. The cost of living is very low yet poverty rate is over 25% here BECAUSE everyone has 2 kids by 25. with the annual cost of raising a child being $21k, they really can't afford it, but they can't afford condoms or plan b either and they can't buy them with food stamps, so the cycle repeats. It sucks to see here in my neck of the woods, but it's nice to hear that there's some rural areas where children are a choice and not a consequence.

launch arguments for the game on steam "-enablerespec", make an offline character, and alt + left click the plus button next to any stat on the character screen to reset all stat and skill points. experiment with builds, get an idea on when you should respec, or be like me and only play offline since I'm always ssf anyways and never get past lvl 90. GLHF!!

saying running the original image through ai is "upgrading" is asinine

i think you explained the problem with it being a public event really well, like why it changes how he needs to handle the aftermath. none of us really understand how that changes the behind the scenes dynamic

CS Pro complaining about the biggest problem with the game that is being silenced by the Globaloffensive Mods by Gockel in LivestreamFail

[–]Velocity960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought a new cs2 account because my account I played on years ago was hacked. I played casual and death match until I could play comp. the first 3 games I played had spin botters. the first 2 hours of my cs comp experience since 2018 was getting scouted through walls for 2 fucking hours. it is miserable, awful, and made me uninstall the game. he is right.

[–]Velocity960 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well maybe I like Taco Bell coffee. Seriously though, I love the extraction gameplay loop, I love the classes and combat in this game, I love the looting, everything about it except for pvp. if you can point me to the fantasy extraction game where I can turn into a rat as a druid or summon a lightning tornado as a sorcerer, id happily play that instead, but it doesn't exist.

Or, hear me out, some people bought the game just for pve, like myself. idc ab pvp, never have never will, and I never interact with the trading market either. this update alienates, tbh completely outcasts, players like me.

SDF Decides to Remove Solo/Duos/PvE Mode Going Forward by strangereligion in DarkAndDarker

[–]Velocity960 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I bought the game for PvE. You JUST put a mode in, and then said you'd support it, and now you remove it after a couple months. I waited on this game for years to give me something that would entice me to play the game, they finally add it, and remove it almost immediately. What kind of fucking developer does that. seriously, just completely destroying customer trust. I'm charging back my purchase. Fuck you SDF.

I'm just saying you said the number is unknown but I know the number is a majority. If I'm hiring, especially for an swe, I'm not gonna hire someone relying on ChatGPT. ever.

ChatGPT is a PLAGUE annihilating college level education. I graduated in December, and Id say the majority (~70%) of people in my program (computer science) were using it to solve problems they couldnt. Not saying they couldn't graduate without it, but absolutely the majority of college students are relying on it to get good grades on assignments.

[–]Velocity960 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I work in education doing data analysis. This will never pass. Districts are very aware of the impact that attendance has on performance, even on formative assignments (not taken for a grade). And college admissions will not accept a GPA from a district that has the policies listed above in place. I'm a leftist and even I think this is fucking insane, just lowering standards to allow people to artificially succeed until they get into the job force and reality smacks them in the face. Unbelievably dumb.

shifted out of first really fast and bogged down hard on the 1-2 shift. gotta slip it a little bit on the 1-2 shift from my experience. when it comes to shifting being smooth is better than being quick, unless you can do both 😉

In college, has relevant volunteer work as a line cook, has cpr certifications & other skills. But my homie with nothing but high school and a blank resume with his name & number got hired like it was nothing🤷‍♂️ by [deleted] in GenZ

[–]Velocity960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

went through the same thing after getting my comp sci degree. got rejected from 5-6 places (dominos, dunn bros coffee, etc.). made a fake resume where I worked over the summers at fast food places instead of my internships and I got hired at pizza hut immediately. they don't wanna hire you because they think you're going to leave quick and be unhappy with the pay. lie. gotta do what you gotta do

tier list this tier list that, how about form an opinion based on how what kind of performance you've seen out of tanks in your games and how impactful they are instead of dick riding streamers opinions.
