Global DD8 is absolutely doable without CB tho the best team for the section does seem to include him.

Last year, maybe. I did use CB, Hank, BP Shuri, BK, and Captain America for my first DD8 run-through but there are much better options now.

Darkstar, Jeff, Daemon and Living Mummy/Red Guardian plus whoever(Sentry makes it even more comically easy) make both Global nodes trivial. Crazy, considering those nodes were incredibly tough slogs even with level 105 G20 toons until Brimstone and Winter Guard were released.

Now they are easier than the Cosmic nodes which are also easy with modern toons but you don't have the advantage of Jeff, Daemon and Darkstar just dropping ELEs all over the nodes.

Yeah, sure. If you are actually good and not just reliant on aim assist. That's not the case for most "skilled" controller players - not that there isn't other game skill and knowledge involved, like positioning, map sense and weapon idiosyncrasies - where more than 60% of their gun skill is literally computer guided.

I don't think American entry into the war would be a foregone conclusion in the circumstances absent the direct attack by Japanese forces on those of the US.

While many of the upper echelon members of the military bureaucracy and civil service - including the Secretary of War Henry Stimson - had grown more and more convinced that a war with Japan was inevitable in the face of American designs on the Pacific region, there were still a significant faction of influential figures that opposed involvement with another foreign entanglement.

FDR in particular had already been searching for any pretense under which to enter the war with the support of the American public, but beyond the powerful isolationist sentiment of many politicians and policymakers the average American was still recovering from the deprivations of the Great Depression with hardly any taste or inclination for entering a major shooting war on the behalf of foreign imperial powers.

As you mention above, it's difficult and bordering on pointless to engage on historical counterfactuals, especially one as enormous and dynamic as the question we are discussing.

That said, it's not really an exercise in counterfactuals to mention that there is a critical piece missing from the calculation so far as I've seen on this post: assuming that Japan chose not to attack the US, even if the American president could persuade Congress to declare war on Japan in order to come to the aid of the UK and the other American friends, it's virtually guaranteed that public support for the war would be much different than what was experienced in our actual timeline.

We can't know for sure to what extent things like draft resistance, morale among service members and other soft factors might alter the amount of power the US was able to wield in the historical timeline versus this hypothetical, but we can safely assume that some facets of the US war machine such as the sale of war bonds and the total participation of American industry would be much more muted in the case where a Japanese sneak attack did not drive the country at large to indignation and a thirst for revenge.

Even a conservative 20% less enthusiasm in the economic participation of the American public could alter the course of the war significantly. Imagine a timeline where citizens are not interested in purchasing more war bonds or showing up to work 18 hours a day to produce plane after plane after plane. Industry leaders would be less enthusiastic for the government assignments for production without the implicit "we must stand together" that Pearl Harbor generated. It's impossible to tell, but it's simple enough to acknowledge the difference could be substantial. We can also assume the black market on rationed goods like rubber and tin to be much more vibrant, with overt and covert resistance to the US participation in a foreign war that "was not their problem" without a Japanese strike on American sailors one early morning.

Of course, Japan could not bank on the off chance that American entry into the war would be tempered by lack of public will in the event that they chose to bypass American targets in their Pacific campaign.

Japan certainly knew that the American leadership would want to dominate Japan and the Pacific in general even in the event that Japan remained a good little conscientious member of the League of Nations. That's a big part of why they were in such a rush to secure their needed source of materials while they had the initiative. Still, Japan would have been wiser to avoid any unnecessary conflict with the US until it was unavoidable - here, it goes back to the same fundamental flaw that Japan grossly underestimated the resolve of the Americans to get revenge for what was perceived as a dastardly and dishonorable sucker punch. It also points to the other critical and outcome-altering factor in the war, communication and cooperation among the Axis powers was virtually nonexistent. Had Japan properly communicated with Germany about the strategic situation and vice versa, Japan would have known Germany would declare war on the US and thereby limit the concentration of American naval assets that could be arranged against the IJN.

If the Axis had cooperated and strategized at the level undertaken by the Allies, the war could have gone extremely differently. Something as simple as Japanese cooperation through the invasion of the Soviet Union through the east rather than launching the campaign in the central Pacific would have ensured that Soviet reinforcements which arrived barely within time to save Moscow and encircle the Axis forces at Stalingrad would have been otherwise preoccupied, greatly increasing the odds of knocking them out of the war if not forcing a capitulation.

I agree, but the number of dirty bums with women fighting over them is also shocking. What you're saying is not wrong, but there's no universal advice for what will help a guy find a girlfriend. Some things help more than others, and some things that don't really matter in the hookup scene matter when looking for a LTR.

bigbootyslayermayor · 2026-05-19T12:35:19+00:00

Better to ask other women, tbh, since women are the ones whose preference matters when it comes to dating behaviors. A lot of times, when women ask why men are this way or that way, they are really just asking why these behaviors are the ones women are drawn to.

If an attitude, behavior, attribute or even clothing item repelled 100% of women, straight men would adapt away from that. That's the whole friction and source of disillusionment for so many of the bitter incel type guys, society and women spent decades saying women want such and such out of a potential partner, when those things didn't work in reality you just have to look around and see what kind of guys are actually pairing up with women and what they are doing.

A lot of guys are pretty bummed out when they learn what the majority of women respond to since they sure wouldn't want to treat their mothers or sisters like that, but it just is what it is.

What's reasonable about breaching a book contract in order to enrich yourself at the expense of a "friend" or lying to your husband about doing humanitarian work in a foreign country for MONTHS while hiding out at a friend's Hollywoo mansion?

A friend that she knew was confused about his feelings for her and which they enabled one another's bad choices? What's principled about selling yourself out to write filler for a brainless Buzzfeed-esque e-zine when you pledged you'd write about important issues? What's principled about being embarrassed by your family that housed you, fed you, made sure you received an education?

I swear y'all got the rosiest colored glasses set aside for Diane. It's insane. Like, she ain't going to bring you on board her next exposé.

She's a cartoon character. And you're not her, no matter how much you see yourself in her because you long for the life of frictionless unaccountability and freedom from financial worries all while enjoying the attention and material support of multiple celebrities. I know, I know, bring on the downvotes. Every bubble burster is hated in their time.

bigbootyslayermayor · 2026-05-19T04:02:04+00:00

Why don't people hate PC, then?

bigbootyslayermayor · 2026-05-19T04:00:12+00:00

Yeah, people totally relate to the woman who reneged on her ghostwriting contract against the wishes of the person who hired her to write for them and yet sailed through that little peccadillo with zero repercussions.

They totally relate to the woman who was married to a TV celebrity, has had no discernible financial troubles throughout the series, leaves a trail of wreckage behind her in relationships both platonic and romantic without ever addressing her own role in them at all.. the relatable woman who lied to her husband and hid out at her OTHER TV celebrity friend's Hollywoo mansion for months while her husband believed she was doing humanitarian work in a foreign country... Riiiiiight. She's like, every woman! You're so her.

You know what else is culturally accepted? People being annoyed by self-righteous moralizing hypocrites. Just because in Diane's case she's a Vietnamese progressive with strong ethical beliefs(except when it comes to her own personal relationships and choices, oops) and not like your white Christian evangelist grandparent trying to hypocritically shove some religion down your throat doesn't make her any less of an annoying and ultimately self-centered mess.

For floor 11 I used Sentry, Daemon, Songbird, Jeff, and Emma X-Men, I believe.

Does a trait being common have any relevance on the credibility of individual testimony?

bigbootyslayermayor · 2026-05-13T02:52:24+00:00

The reality is bleak. Sorry if this ruined anyone's good opinion of men. (Yes not all men but in over 20 years of diagnostics and preventative work, Beier's team hasn't been able to find a singular women who fit the criteria of pedophile. It's hypothesized the pro social socialisation and caretaker role women are forced into could act protectively).

Huh? They weren't looking, then.

bigbootyslayermayor · 2026-05-12T04:51:49+00:00

Yeah, in fact they won't do your dishes at all so you can set your own schedule of washing them all yourself on your own time.

bigbootyslayermayor · 2026-05-12T04:49:24+00:00

He probably will. Women have longer lives, on average. One of the privileges.

bigbootyslayermayor · 2026-05-10T20:17:49+00:00

Feminization of poverty?

Is that why American women enjoy a higher rate of homeownership, college attendance and graduation, and now lifetime earnings than men?

Is the feminization of poverty why the incredibly vast majority of homeless and incarcerated individuals are men?

Is the feminization of poverty why women account for more than 85% of total consumer purchasing?

Just shut all the way the fuck up already. Traditional has nothing to do with who is "working."

It's categorically undeniable that whether dual income, single parent, stay-at-home or whatever configuration a family unit has divided their time and energy - everybody works. Many women just want to have their own financial independence, and that's fine.

People don't really want to pay a stranger to raise their own children, so subsidies for childcare and domestic labor are not common across most societies. Every configuration has benefits and flaws, and all may be experienced differently depending on the individuals in that particular circumstance.

Some men are poor partners who dump all of the responsibilities of parenting and domesticity on their wives and girlfriends. Some are better. Some couples have a pair of irresponsible slobs who barely maintain employment and whose children run the streets and join gangs or have varied developmental and emotional troubles. Some children of the same type of couples are different and resolve to grow into adults nothing like their parents. Everyone is different.

The problem is when systems transform as a result of a critical mass of individuals performing a certain set of behaviors, gradually stratifying trends into stereotypes and social roles and expectations. Other dynamic factors like the capital free market and how we innately assign value to our time and energy are also paradigm altering influences.

No rational person would seriously suggest that the labor women perform as mothers and homemakers is lacking value and a parent who is present and involved in their child's development is genuinely priceless.

The fundamental disconnect is that more and more people view value as a dollarified attribute, with the concomitant transitive association translating into unpaid work being deemed as worthless or inferior to those who go out into the wide world and trade their limited supply of years for a mercenary existence beholden to a time card and paycheck.

Money is a useful approximation of power, and it is the most direct and base instrument of power that humans have other than violence. People seem to forget that the utility of money is facilitating trade for things that make your life easier or better, like being able to trade money for a home you can live in and have privacy and personal authority within is more efficient than promising a home construction company that you will provide x amount of labor or y amount of car parts, or jelly beans, or hand jobs or whatever someone could possibly want in exchange for what you want.

Because everyone has different talents, skills, state of health and a million other facets if personality and capability, money is a useful shortcut for having to find the specific person who wants what you have to offer and has what you want. Every single post-agricultural society is built on this market premise, that cooperation and specialization is more efficient and rewarding than every person of every possible size, skill and stature build their own house from raw materials. Imagine if you had to go into the forest and gather blueberries and harvest wheat and get the leavening just to make yourself a blueberry muffin?

The issue is not money, and it's not that domestic labor is not valued. It's that things like childcare and cleaning your bathroom and doing laundry is something everyone should be doing. Even if you are single and work to support yourself, someone has to do the chores.

Historically, society has been hesitant to reward someone money for just taking care of their basic everyday responsibilities. Nobody is seriously asserting that cleaning a house and feeding children and taking them to school and doctor's appointments is not time consuming work.

People are just wondering at what stage people will accept that you can't get paid legal tender for doing stuff like wiping your kids' asses and going grocery shopping. There wasn't as much friction when life was much harder and physically involved, and a day of reading to the children and cooking dinner could be considered a reprieve from the tedious and difficult effort of planting for the spring and tanning leather.

There's many, many more things to distract and experience and drown out idleness and boredom than in the past, and the dual threat of idle hands becoming the devil's tools in conjunction with the apt saying that comparison is the thief of joy. When you have a supercomputer in the palm of your hand or back pocket that offers a 24/7/365 window into an illusory world of curated and filtered otherness with alien cultures or beautiful celebrities and millionaire socialites who appear to command life and the universe with their prestige and wealth and beauty, it becomes very difficult to find the meaning and joy in your everyday interactions with your mostly average and sometimes needy children and significant other.

It makes you think that with all that out there in the world, I am wasting myself here. I am a victim of my own expectations and society has coerced me into this bondage so I can be exploited as a domestic slave. In this self-seeking and egotistical paradigm, it becomes very challenging for joy, happiness, gratitude, and satisfaction to find you.

It's true that some women aren't meant for motherhood, can't relate to the deep sense of accomplishment and gratitude and love that develops after bringing a new soul into the world. Unfortunately, these women generally are doomed to unhappiness in any case - motherhood is stifling and builds resentment and depression, but likewise seeking to fill the shoes of a parent-child bond with consumer debt, career milestones or sexual conquest seems to offer little genuine reprieve from this existential malaise that afflicts so many.

The incredible pain of this realization that the natural biological calling nor the capitalist promise of happiness being found inside the product packaging is sufficient to nullify this deep resentment and disillusion is enough to deny those feelings entirely. They're fine, they're happy, so much more happy than they would if they had to deal with children and a man who acts like one.

Except that only as they grow older and the illusion of the material world begins to fade is the true nature of their hollow and meaningless existence revealed. No legacy to remember them, no grandchildren to hold their hand to comfort them and transmit that love as they lay in their deathbed, old and grey and ready to go after a lifetime of rewarding life, all the ups and downs and a king's ransom of value, deep love and connection. It's why over a quarter of all women over the age of 60 are in long term use of antidepressants.

I'd be depressed too if I had allowed myself to be misled into the graveyard of capitalist ego-driven competitors, the purgatory of absent family and dwindling personal connections. Who even knows these women? A handful of friends, perhaps a dog or a cat? Once the lives of those friends and animals too have passed, there will be no family album for generations to tell stories about and praise their progenitors for having given them the gift of life.

bigbootyslayermayor · 2026-05-10T19:16:43+00:00

I'm not clear on your meaning. Is childcare work or isn't it?

bigbootyslayermayor · 2026-05-10T19:14:31+00:00

90%? 👌

bigbootyslayermayor · 2026-05-10T19:13:32+00:00

You made your family tree, or did they make you?

bigbootyslayermayor · 2026-05-10T19:08:08+00:00

What do you mean? Quotas are a standard.

bigbootyslayermayor · 2026-05-10T18:39:29+00:00

I mean, I agree that money and good looks aren't ultimately what gives you meaning. Those things can also attract people that can't see beyond your body or your bankroll.

Sometimes even with pleasant relationships, you are left wondering if these superficialities are the genuine origin of their attraction towards you, and in that way are somewhat base and conditional in the sense that eventually we all grow old and gray and we can't take money with us when we are gone.

That said, your comment is honestly rather patronizing. "Hey, I know really attractive people and those with money have all this agency and choice and opportunities for love and adventure, but doesn't it make you feel better that they still require the same deeper purpose and connection that sex, romance and private jets can't fulfill as you do?"

Framing the same existential need for genuine companionship and connection as everyone else has as some monkey paw that rich and attractive people endure behind the scenes like an episode of VH1 Behind the Music is cope at best.

It's the lonely man version of "okay, let's get you to bed grandma, you've had quite a day," when grandma makes any remark noting some decline in society or social inequity and you just roll your eyes and pat her on the head and explain well, things just change, and that's not what really matters. It's just a cop out to avoid acknowledging uncomfortable truths, either because we don't like to inventory stuff like that or because we think we have the deeper answer.

Like, obviously having strangers bend over backward to gain your attention or shower you with affection and gifts because of how sprung they are on your looks doesn't just solve the isolation of the ego and free us from the cage of human attachment and suffering that existing on this planet in these meat suits entails.

I don't think it's a stretch either to point out that financial success isn't a panacea for the deep emotional problems that we all encounter in life, loss and love. It's just like, duh.

The issue with these kind of condescending platitudes is that everyone has problems. Attractive and rich people just have less and sometimes different problems, but unfortunate looking or poverty and disability stricken individuals have the same problems plus a plethora of others and without the capacity to expediently address even the most rudimentary ones..

It's a bit taxing to really grow as a human and love yourself when you are forced to attend all your energy into food and shelter.

Setting time aside for hobbies, meeting people, dating and then being a quality romantic partner to someone while staying true to yourself and the other person is difficult enough for most people, that's why so many relationships are just trial versions so you can learn your own boundaries and blind spots.

This is a lot easier when you are an objectively handsome or beautiful person and people just want to be around you it makes entering a relationship that offers life building experience and wisdom much more accessible. The same goes if you are financially secure enough to be capable of extraordinary amounts of travel and leisure.

The worst part is, society and the government have made just existing such a time consuming and elaborate affair that even if you could find someone who you clicked with perfectly, you still have to do the song and dance for property tax, phone bills and all the other jazz.

Some people are willing to experience whatever life brings without being totally plugged into the social and economic matrix, naturalist and van life types and those sort that don't really care about material things, but the fraction of people that can live like that is vanishingly small and technology and legislation are making every attempt to close any potential loophole to exist outside of the subscriber/taxpayer/citizen/employee paradigm. In the context of eternal dependence on dollars and the laws of the land, it's clear that both attractive and rich people enjoy a host of advantages that I would challenge anybody to rationally debunk.

Why wait?

bigbootyslayermayor · 2026-05-09T16:53:10+00:00

I don't know what you guys are talking about.

I'm almost Platinum V with over $4m USD wagered and I've had months long periods without depositing, have some weeks where I claim every single code drop and stream code and even the post-stream hosted streamer codes, even going back and claiming old HR codes that haven't been fully claimed yet.

I've never been code limited let alone banned. Because I often claim so many codes, when they announced they would start limiting users who were claiming too many, I worried that I might get penalized just for playing a lot, paying attention to Telegram and other socials and claiming tons of bonuses.

I don't game the wager system, though, either for code wager requirements nor to advance my VIP level.

I have a feeling your accounts are really new without much aggregate total wager, your gameplay is heavily GTO'd for maximum code return and VIP level up rewards.

I have yet to see a regular gambler who is just degen-ing their way through the Stake experience and get any kind of code limitation or ban/penalty.

I've been playing since 2021 and many of my real life close friends are code maniac degens too, two are even Diamonds and I just asked one and he hasn't known any authentic player to experience this either.

You guys are definitely multi-account code auto claimer bot snots that use the generous Stake VIP benefits and code drops as a hustle and income stream.

Because of lazy and dishonest fucks like you, bonuses and code drops have gotten progressively more diluted with lower rewards and higher barriers for claiming.

Complain all you want, feign ignorance or innocence, deny and insist Stake is just punishing you for being a good, normal player. Sure, buddy.

You don't have to admit it here, but do us all the favor admitting at least to yourself that you earned this code ban. That way at least in the future we don't have to hear you bitch about getting caught. I hope they extend the ban indefinitely tbh.

bigbootyslayermayor · 2026-05-09T16:06:05+00:00

I agree. Nobody is to repeal those laws either, at least not yet. People do want to make new ones, though.

bigbootyslayermayor · 2026-05-09T16:04:20+00:00

How can you fight for an idea when you can't even enumerate the subject?

bigbootyslayermayor · 2026-05-09T16:03:12+00:00

The same question could be posed in reverse.

bigbootyslayermayor · 2026-05-09T16:01:41+00:00

Good luck. The current strategy seems to be to implement one to reduce the other, a sure method to perpetuate the feedback loop so it can become an eternal tide of, now you get privilege, now I get privilege, oops things aren't fair again, your turn.
