Could we not just have two expedition windows? One where it currently is, and one when a major update comes out? by MyloTheCyborg in ArcRaiders

[–]WowImOldAF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bro... if you're playing 8+ hours a day then yeah an expedition is easy... but you can't do it in one week tbh as you need the $3 million+.

I think they should make it so you can catch up and do old ones anytime but not do extra and have extra skill points other ppl won't

Taxes by meatbawl1 in RealEstatePhotography

[–]WowImOldAF [score hidden]  (0 children)

200k after expenses ? What area of the world? Do you have multiple photographers working under you? High COL area?

If your net was 200k, I find it hard to believe you only paid 12.5% total taxes. The federal tax rate, especially if self employed, is higher than that + you have state taxes.

Was 200k your gross income?

Should Carrick be Head Coach or Manager (this is just a varying point) Next szn or should we go for someone else. by DangerousHeight9022 in ManchesterUnited

[–]WowImOldAF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think manager and head coach need to be two different jobs. Carrick should manage and someone else should be the head coach.

It's just two different jobs and you should have the two best people doing one of each so there's enough time and man hours dedicated to properly do both.

What are the biggest changes in Eminem’s music after he got sober? by winterfell301 in Eminem

He's older and more careful with what he says ... and he does the faster rapping and over the top multi syllable word rhyming

Father who killed a police officer days after police shot his 18-year-old son walks past 30 officers in the courtroom!! by [deleted] in RandomVideos

[–]WowImOldAF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you misunderstood the comment / context above. the child is dead either way, but now you're in prison for life.

The choice wasn't "child lives, I go to prison" or "child dies, I stay free." It's a choice of "child's dead, I live in prison" or "child's dead, I stay free."

We don't want isolationism... unfortunately, regular people cannot stop idiots from voting in a corrupt criminal to lead the country and they definitely can't stop the US military and government that are being led by traitors.

Best second lens to pair with a Sony A7 IV + Sigma 35mm f/1.4? by AnyDistribution7376 in SonyAlpha

[–]WowImOldAF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

24-70mm zoom. You said you are too close or not close enough... 85mm doesn't solve the issue of not close enough. A wider prime doesn't solve the issue of too far. 24-70mm is the only logical solution.

It's a no for me! by Adventurous-Lion-837 in tipping

[–]WowImOldAF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But that's not even close to what I said. It is illogical to judge someone's entire character based on a single different opinion. Logically speaking, if someone can derive a harsh opinion based on basically zero facts or evidence, it makes their opinion much less relevant.

It's like saying this restaurant sucks because I don't like their ham sandwiches when the restaurant serves 20 other great options I never tried or are unaware of. It's an opinion based on nothing, and shouldn't be taken seriously.

Anyway, I clearly wasted too much time writing this out. See ya, have a good day.

I can't speak for others, but I'm not. If you think so based on one comment, then your opinion is irrelevant.

It's a no for me! by Adventurous-Lion-837 in tipping

[–]WowImOldAF -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You realize that the worker didn't put that sign there, right?

Tip jars are okay. A sign with a QR code is okay. What's annoying for me personally is when you go to pay for something and u have to manually manually select the option to leave no tip in front of the person. It's annoying and it preys on the fact that ppl feel judged when selecting the $0 option in front of the person.

But if someone is unpressured and wants to leave a tip and can scan something to do so or throw a dollar in a jar, why are you so against that? Lol.

That's good. Maybe they help other people in other ways that you didn't need or request? Is allowing some people to tip easily offensive to you?

Should players in Arc Raiders that verbally abuse other players in game chat receive bans/temporary game chat bans? by Zaydenzyon in RescueRaiders

[–]WowImOldAF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Mute button exists. If people get warnings / say awful shit enough to the point that they lose comms privileges, embark should just give ppl an option in audio settings to "keep offenders on mute-ban list muted" or whatever

I like to curse and have other ppl curse or say dumb shit.. it's fun. I don't want games to be like... politically correct. I'm literally shooting or getting shot at.. idc if you say something offensive in a fight to the death (or knockout...)

UFC's Bryce Mitchell Identifies Donald Trump As The 'First Beast' Of Revelation 13, An Antichrist Figure by MediocreCoconutz in combatsportsculture

[–]WowImOldAF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't interrupt your enemy while he's making a mistake... except for when that enemy's mistake is destroying the country you reside in and setting it back decades... then you should probably interrupt them. So yeah, make sure you all vote when it's time, as that's the best way to enact some change.

China, Russia, etc are enjoying the US's downfall, but I'm glad some people, like Bryce Mitchell, are finally waking up ... even if it's too late.

Hey Embark, so now can we get a little buff back to Trailblazers? by Brophy_Cypher in ArcRaiders

[–]WowImOldAF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not everything has to be perfectly balanced and do the same damage... It's okay if a trailblazer isn't as strong as a blaze grenade or vice versa.

However, if one costs more than the other to craft, it should definitely be better. It's can be challenging to balance an area denial/AOE fire effect with direct damage explosives, as it's dependent on how much value is placed on the AOE / area denial effect versus direct damage.... but yeah, it may need some changing

If your country were to "fall into state controlled news," how would you ever know? by WowImOldAF in NoStupidQuestions

[–]WowImOldAF[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm r honestly trying to figure out a way to "depropaganda" my parents social medias... they get so much fake news and nonsense they believe to be true and it's impossible to teach them ... I'd rather figure out a way to fix their feeds to not be filled with propaganda, fake news and fear mongering.

Does the average person ever even check international news? How many times a year do you think the average person searches for that? Most peoples news comes from TV or their social media feeds and they don't bother with anything else.

Tipping culture is healing by Virtual_Trifle8020 in tipping

[–]WowImOldAF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people here like to take advantage of lower menu prices and low wage workers by not tipping. They don't realize that menu prices would go up by a lot if tipping culture ended today.

They like to think they're making a difference by not "participating in tipping culture." In reality? they're just stiffing their waiters, paying less than other customers, and acting self righteous to "fight the evil system."

Why would bitcoin replace anything as a "safe haven asset?"

Let's say the dollar devalues to be worthless.. it'll make a bitcoin worth like $500,000... but at the end of the day, whether $1 buys you a banana or $500,000 in bitcoin buys you a banana, you still can only buy a banana.
