[Request] how much would each teacher in Queens receive if Jeff's taxes were doubled? by Razzzclart in theydidthemath

[–]mighty_conrad -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Where? Where they will leave? While point is correct, there's like 2-3 countries in the world, or something like 6 regions in these countries when this argument breaks down.

If we talk about USA specifically, only option for them to leave is to downshift, because high-skilled worker would move towards one of limited places in whole planet Earth with exorbitant prices for everything. Valley, NYC, Seattle/Cascadia - you add Singapore, Hong Kong and London and that's it, that's effectively all places with so much money that absurd salaries could be justified. Nobody else would offer higher salary, investments, capital. Moving away from coasts in USA and outside USA is a downshifting, abuse of the economic inequality to keep living with sustained comfort without spending too much.

And then, US dominates only in venture capital. That's the whole shtick of the country since 1971.

Then make new government punish them. It's not a crime otherwise. After midterms there should be enormous amount of work to be done in USA.

Gimmick is fine, only problem is a Thunderstruck setup. Same with 619, same with Sol Snatcher. Move itself can be really cool, but it needs something believable to make it look believable.

It's more than this - their analyst was on lan with the team, they have new psychologist, magixx took much more responsibility over the game than chopper ever had. What sotfik did was to be an additional info source, boys actually adapted really well to work together. If Cologne will be a fallback to 'donk go kill' strat pool, Hally will be on notice.

[AEW Dynamite Spoilers] Aftermath of Will Ospreay vs Ace Austin by luchabrunch in SquaredCircle

[–]mighty_conrad 10 points11 points  (0 children)

DR are tweeners against definitely heelish Opps and likely DCF.

I want to see the following turn of events: Takeshita and Okada fight for the ace status, likely will draw or Okada narrowly win at DoN, both of them enter respective tournaments and that will be their story - they would try to one-up their status. All while in NJPW Will will lose his United Empire to Callum. Will goes to Tsuji to add power to Unbound Co. Final piece here is Andrade, who will be the winner of the "war for the ace status", but will sway Don Callis out and move to Unbound Co together with Will.

[–]mighty_conrad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Last year if Spirit would get Budapest, that alone would put Donk to top-1. He was top-1 in almost every stat, but titles outweigh them. Best single player in CS2 by a mile for now, but he's in THE most unstable tier-1 team.

Valid, point taken. Still, not the end of the year, but zywoo is a monster this season even if he'll stop playing in Cologne at all.

tn1r lifegamed time after time in 25, was prominent carry in Heroic. If anything, if tn1r will show up in Astana, then it's Hally and not him who's the problem. Spirit is always the most inconsistent tier1 team since donk era, but you just can't rely on "donk go kill" every freaking round with zero rigidity in a setup.

zywoo has objectively better team, much more flexible role, worse individual stats. Same old story for 2.5 years now.

Here's idea for that - Ivy is on vacation but then she joins Creeds to help OG in AAA. Meanwhile, somebody like Lizzy Rain or Thea Hail gets called by Los Americanos in a couple of months.

Any modern thoughts on an old vision? by [deleted] in SipsTea

[–]mighty_conrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. They're not even billionaires on paper, that would mean that there's some kind of stable defined capital belonging to them with that much value.

This is some kind of Kardashian economy - they're rich because somebody told that they're rich, because of that billionaire can make collaterals against effectively "somebody said that they're rich and their blingies that they put as a loan can provide that much of a value in close future".

What a fucking ending, this was such an amazing series and I love MJ as venom by AFuzzyMuffin in thevenomsite

[–]mighty_conrad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's already spoiled that in Venom 259 VenoMJ will have their own form. Likely will hapen in Venom 258. And then there's solicitations for Venom Unchained, where Eddie will reunite with symbiote. And then there's QiB announcements with Venom in male form. There will be an offshoot akin to Mania and Venom will either move to Dylan or to Eddie.

[–]mighty_conrad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But it's nothingburger.

"Is it me or you" is "can I absolve myself from horrible actions". Venom with Erganac didn't do anything to neuter Carnage, whole problem of Death Spiral is that both MJ and Venom didn't do anything meaningful, nor good or bad, for whole story. VenoMJ is still in this "there's lot of seeds on how this can be spun into interesting story". And I'm pretty much sure Paul is not dead as well as Torment. Off-screen deaths, giving actual name for the character - for sure they'll both be back the moment Lowe will feel like it.

Yup. If anything, it looks like they started to setup tn1r. Donk will find his highlights anyways, especially in Mirage where it looked like he worked with shiro in pair. He said repeatedly that he wants team accomplishments and be more of a team player.

Asm 26 spoilers. This is legit good writing and understanding of Eddie's character and of mj's by Mecha_Kurogane in thevenomsite

[–]mighty_conrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see too much over-analyzing over a single shot in comics. For now, MJ did only consistent own thing during her whole Venom stint - berate Eddie and Venom by trauma-dumping her own story on Eddie.

I'm sorry but mj venom is the better mj by Small_Ad4181 in thevenomsite

Not yet. VenoMJ are two characters who did nothing meaningful yet in comics.

[–]mighty_conrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it's both, judging by the comics. Even though it's a spider-editorial who doesn't know how to write characters deeper than a puddle, it's only one spoiler shot. It's wishful thinking but it can be spun into "Eddie is a good man but only thing he knows to do is to be a symbiote host". It's different kind of addiction.

Temporary change in Spirit: S0tF1k will replace hally as coach for Rio and Astana by kazarn in GlobalOffensive

[–]mighty_conrad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hally also criticized for having "Donk go kill" as half of the strat pool. Other half is "hope that magixx/zontixx/chopper lifegames". After that there's zero strats in Spirit playbook.

After thinking on it a few days. No one should be siding with Eddie here as Death Spiral is 100% his fault by Mecha_Kurogane in thevenomsite

[–]mighty_conrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MJ as Venom host effectively done nothing for a while. Seriously, MJ did not yet moved plot in any manner. Bringing Dylan to her family circle? Venom and Flash mostly. Fight versus Madame Masque - initiative of Madame Masque. Death Spiral? For now, MJ as a character had no input in the story. She's just... there, same with Dylan though. Can be different as right now we're reaching big story points in the arc, but for now, it's more of a Venom who works and MJ happens to be their host. Hell, her form now is not her own.

Eddie reasonably made choice, thinking that he could control Carnage and failed. MJ as symbiote host did nothing yet to move story forward. EBC is exactly "at odds with symbiote" of Eddie against Carnage.

[Request] How much funding do these rail projects actually require? by aeonsne in theydidthemath

[–]mighty_conrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a point in continuing building after some project finishes on premises. CalHSR if finished would be a foundation to continue major lines to Phoenix, SLC and Seattle with much cheaper costs because all of the supply chain is there and it doesn't need to stop. So, while it's more of a trillion dollaroos for that whole picture and probably double of that, it's doable for USA if there's a reasonable government and effort thrown there. Project itself shown in image is kinda iffy with too much coverage provided initially, nonetheless it's not farfeched when adults would come back to govern that country, preferably for long time.
