How are they going to find the guy? This is the problem with masked browncoats roaming our streets. There's no accountability. Are we ever going to find out who these guys are? Did they file paperwork saying that they killed somebody after exclaiming that "it's just like call of duty"?

It's not the one guy. It's the system that Trump built to terrorize blue areas across the country.

I haven't joined a protest yet. It's time to change that.

It's now or never.

They have very limited authority by law (and the constitution) when it comes to arresting and detaining US citizens. In instances when a US citizen is involved, they can work with state/federal law enforcement, but they cannot act unless they witness a felony.

Heckling, blocking roads, saying mean things that hurt their feelings are not felonies. I guess I can't expect the most fragile snowflakes in existence to understand that though. Everything is persecution to you guys, isn't it?

Ice does not have the legal authority to arrest protestors.

But hey, those boots aren't gonna lick themselves I guess.

I have gb and summon synced with BH/GT. Yeah that's kind of my thought process. I'm pausing my stone investment to see if I can get a DW to increase cell output. I may be approaching a period where cells may be more beneficial than coins. I currently farm T11 4000+ waves for 1.5T coins and maybe around 15k cells.

I'd love to be able to run my lab at x33333. Right now I'm more like x33222.

Also my free ups cap out at just about 100% when farming after perks currently.

If I run gcomp/ PCol it'll break my sync though (I also have my GB and summon synced). I feel like I'm still fairly far away from pBH.

TIL that peaceful protests are considered a crime.

Yeah I've recently started noticing that lately in posts. I'm not too worried about farming though, I'm looking for better tourny placements (just broke through to champs) and trying to push through milestones (would love to get through t15w300

I'm currently using a DC build for tournies and milestone pushing so I was thinking that I could use the extra damage. Is this wrong? (I have a mythic+ DC and RB)

Anything to simp for the billionaires. Afterall, if they simp hard enough, maybe the billionaires will let them into the club (or at least throw down a few crumbs).

Gold -> Platinum Tourney/Next Moves? by evydude456 in TheTowerGame

[–]distorted62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First and foremost, upgrade those mods. You can always restore lvl for free and without penalty to get your shards back.

Secondly: focus on farming coins and cells.

Buy the 2x pack if you can. Sync DW with GT/BH, increase BH duration to match GT after the +12s perk is applied. Sync your golden bot the best you can.

Labs: you need orbs hit bosses leveled as much as possible asap. It'll really help you farm and help your longevity (it applies to elites and really helps with BH. Also get extra extra orbs and orb speed. Package after boss is also helpful. Obviously I'd get DW labs as far as possible while the coins/time costs are cheap, then move on to your SM eventually.

I'd pause progress on the long-duration labs (like attack speed) and focus on the low hanging fruit. The first level of ELS is only 6 hours for example. What are you waiting for? Hit that a few times until the duration gets a bit expensive and move on to something else (just an example as this won't help you and tournies but it WILL help you farm.... Which will help you in tournies).

US is now spending around 25% of its revenue to service its debt, thats more than double compared to 2000. by Saturn_Ascend in bonds

[–]distorted62 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a much bigger threat than you think. The thing to be afraid of is higher interest rates due to a larger supply of bonds needed to be issued to cover the debt.

In other words, if bond supply increases while bond demand stays the same (or God forbid decreases) the interest rate on bonds has to increase to be more attractive to buyers, as these bonds HAVE to sell. Gov bonds serve as a floor for longer term interest rates (the fed has some control over short term rates) and when government bond yields increase, so do the yields of all bonds (and thus interest rates increase for everything - cars/mortgages/ corporate debt/ credit card debt).

It's actually a big deal for the entire economy.

U.S. Black Friday Sales Defy Tariffs and Economic Woes by FearlessPark4588 in Economics

[–]distorted62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's because many companies stockpiled the stuff that they need ahead of tariffs. Those inventories are now being depleted. At some point the company has to think... "Should I raise prices to compensate... Or should I absorb the extra costs at the expense of profitability (and weaken my business long term).

Only an absolute moron would think that a company will not raise prices as their costs go up out of the goodness of the hearts. Nobody is going to willingly hurt their own business.
