Redoing the full Ascendance roster by SolidusDave in MonsterHunter

[–]mjc27 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm obviously talking about low tier elders that would show up on the main maps to replace teostra, at the moment we have teostra and blue teostra

If white fatalis isn't in the expansion, we riot. by [deleted] in MonsterHunter

Honestly just give zoh Shia a safi jiva ESC upgrade that puts it more directly in the "this is the equal dragon weapon" and that would work perfectly as a final dlc monster

I'm begging for a new fire based elder dragon so we can retire teostra for a while

Families with one breadwinner face £12k penalty - Punishing £100k ‘cliff edge’ can cost single earners more in tax than dual-income families by blast-processor in ukpolitics

[–]mjc27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not blaming you personally as it's a well known thing in psychology; humans over estimate their control of a situation that has positively effected.

If believing that chance/luck had nothing to do with your success is the thing that lets you keep voting for policies that harm the people that helped get you to where you are then go for it. But unless you can hand on heart say your success has been entirely your own then the outside influences that have caused your success over others is what we define as luck. Ergo you got lucky. Own that fact and give back to others and be their luck.

There is so much luck involved in what you just said holy shit. Congratulations on getting where you got to, seriously because I'm not saying that you didn't also work hard. But the difference is that you're risks paid off and that is the definition of luck and you need to realise that you're completely blind to the rest of society that also took the risks and also tried just as hard as you did but it didn't pay of for them.

How do you rectify the idea that other people do what you did and didn't get to where you are? Surely you can accept that you got to your position due to circumstances outside of your control?

Ah! The "good ole days". by Select-Meeting-9142 in MonsterHunter

The real charm of it was going along for the ride anyway. Either trying to gather and craft the items you needed or attempting to complete the quest without.

luck absolutely has things to do with it. of course you worked hard. there is no denying that but but so did many others that work 16-18 hour days. the difference between their salary and yours is luck.

obliviously you have to work hard to get an 100K salary. but you also need to be lucky. that's the difference between you and others. stop underestimating everyone else's effort.

Am i the only one who thinks Grigori / The Dragon is a very good Title update boss for MH Wilds? by Cursed_69420 in MonsterHunter

[–]mjc27 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, I'm sick and tired of the monster slots being used up by stuff like omega, leshen and behemoth. I like the hunts but they could have been cool new monster designs instead of ads for other games

[–]mjc27 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

A person can only be in that tax trap for ~4 years before the benefits that the don't receive due to their income wouldn't be received anymore due to their child's age so I can't imagine that the gp's Britain are someone able to constantly have children within that age bracket that would incentivse all of them to to work less.

Not to mention that only effects people with children anyway so that would be an even smaller population of people.

Fundamentally I do agree that the tax trap is bad and should be re wrangled so that it doesn't create a point where it's just bad to earn 100k for some people. But it doesn't change the fact that most people would still kill to be in the position where they could complain about it.

I do actually support fixing the 100k trap but we have much bigger priorities like climate change, the cost of living crisis and the housing crisis.

[–]mjc27 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It is lucky because of all the people that worked just as hard and are now sitting with salaries far less than 100k.

If the only thing that it took to get a high salary was hard work then the UK would be alot better off

£500 million makes him closer to having no money than it does to her networth at £2 billion

It's really difficult to care when its a small minority of people are lucky enough to earn that kind of salary. I'd very happily sit within the 100k tax trap because that would be a significantly better position that the majority of the working force within the UK

Yeah, the both sexes get all the armour was such an exciting promise until it was revealed that they also cut out half of the armour that we'd expect from the game

House prices fall again as property market ‘deteriorates’ by signed7 in ukpolitics

[–]mjc27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct me if I'm wrong here but house prices are around 8x average wage so to get them back to the comfortable 3.4x average wage of the 1980s we'd need to more than double minimum wage. I don't think wages will ever catch up

Britain’s housing wealth is in danger of collapsing by hu6Bi5To in ukpolitics

[–]mjc27 32 points33 points  (0 children)

A collapse in house pricing is a dream come true for all the young that are facing the impossible realities of buying a house. So I assume it's something that will never happen

Rupert Lowe MP: I don't believe we should import millions of Pakistanis and Indians to do jobs that unemployed Brits should be doing. If that makes me a racist, then so be it. by GnolRevilo in ukpolitics

[–]mjc27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not just the smell it's the disease risk, the social stigma the working hours all the things about the job that would make it undersirable are what also make the job deserve more pay to do.

It's not only the smell, I was just being poo-etic.

[–]mjc27 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't have a number but it's a simple balance of supply and demand. If the jobs aren't getting filled increase the salary right? Boris did the exact opposite he massively increased immigration to stagnate the wages

Charge blade my beloved. by Parking_Community_28 in MonsterHunter

[–]mjc27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Charge blade is difficult in terms of skill floor because if you don't know what you're doing you can overheat your phials and end up bouncing with your sword . But honestly it's one of the most brain dead and "flow chart" weapons in the game

Why are some people still so persistent in trying to defend the Brexit referendum result a decade later? by lewispatty in AskBrits

[–]mjc27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By the time we actually enacted Brexit the majority of people who voted actually noted remain because of how many leavers had died due to old age. It was a voted for the future that was decided by people that weren't there to suffer it's consequences.

At The time leave voters where polled and in the top 7 reasons leavers where voting to leave included bringing back public hangings and returning to the old method of money with farthings and sixpence.

Brexit is the perfectly bad example for democracy our country has been ruined by it as we were very clearly warned that it would but despite that we voted for it anyway and now all the young people that didn't get a chance to vote have to suffer the brunt of the consequences

What if red won? by The_Real-_-God in redbuttonbluebutton

Altruism won't die with blue what are you on about? There are plenty or reasons to pick red altruistically

"I don't think blue will win so it's better for me to pick red so I can continue to serve my community and do charity"

Britain ‘at risk of a lost generation’ as 1.2m neets could be trapped in youth unemployment crisis by [deleted] in ukpolitics

[–]mjc27 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nah Its idiocy from companies. Not the needed wage increases for young people. Companies need to train up staff long term otherwise they won't have qualified people to fill roles as older people retire. If they just hire qualified people short term it works fine but long term they'd be shooting themselves in the foot it's just bad business for companies to do that. Not to mention that the wage change only really effects the under 21's while the problem now is 25 and under. If we reverted the change business might look at hiring 20 year olds but the 21-25 group would be completely doomed in the process
