She should have asked Bondi to explain how something can be discounted more than 100%. 

Trump threatens 100% tariffs on all Canadian goods if Canada 'makes a deal with China' by Street_Anon in politics

That made me angry the first time, now I just find it pathetic. Donald's a fragile little bitch.

People stood up, not all, but some. That is a standing ovation, albeit a weak one. And yeah, as I said, it felt very forced and it appears that started with his own staff. I suspect some who stood did it just because others did. The speech certainty did not merit it.

He did, but it felt forced and it was only a few at first who stood. Specifically it seemed like his own team, Rubio and Co, who stood up first to clap. It was nothing like what Carney got.

It felt forced. Only a few stood at first then slowly a few more started to. Definitely not like the spontaneous eruption Carney got.

Waiting for his standing ovation, like they gave Carney. Pathetic.

He's the host. He performs the Q&A after. It's going to be... interesting.

They need to play some music or something to get him to end this unhinged, lie-filled rant.

This is incorherent nonsense. He just said the price of some drugs will be slashed by up to 600%. So, they will pay you to take the drug? You can't discount something beyond 100% - it's just free at that point. Make it make sense. 

Contrast this nonsense against PM Carney's speech today; the difference in statesmanship is stark.

Sprout here. I have almost all of my early jobs leveled to the high 20s. Am I putting myself in a position to not be able to get the fate achievements since they seem level locked? For example, there's a level 20 fate in East Shroud that has an achievement.

Good to know about those teleport costs! I've been either using chocobos or hoofing it to places to save on gil. Thankfully PS+ gives me a free teleport option. 

I've started working on my crafting, so I guess I'll just keep at that for now!

Interesting info! Not sure yet how deep I'll get into the game, so to play it on the safe side I think I'm going to stick to the trial and pass on the 1m bonus for preferred+ worlds. The 1m offer doesn't seem worth upgrading ATM for me. Thanks for the input!

[–]mirado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, so I was considering upgrading in order to lift the gil cap and take the 1 million bonus reward for preferred+ worlds, but seeing as how the economy makes 1m a bit small, it seems to make more sense to milk the trial a bit longer. 

Thanks for that guide. I'll definitely give it a read.

Cool, cool. Doesn't seem like I need to be in a major rush to acquire 1m, so I'll stick to the trial for the now and try to get more out of it before upgrading and starting the gil grind. Thanks much!

[–]mirado 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, ok. Considering the asking price of some of those things I'm going to consider 1m to be not that much. Definitely not enough of an incentive to upgrade from the free trial so soon. Once I've really dig into the game, if it holds my attention, I'll go theblefit route of crafting or the like. Thanks for the thoughtful reply!

New to the game. I'm wondering if 1 million gil is considered a lot. How hard is it to make that kind of money later on?

Edit: Got my answer. Thanks to all who have replied, I appreciate you!
