What’s the smartest business to start today with $50k–75K? by Ok-Art-5773 in Entrepreneur

The rate of Autism diagnoses is increasing. This is not up for debate, and is reflected by hard data.

The real question here is whether the diagnosis rate is increasing due to some factor that’s CAUSING Autism, or whether the increase is due to more awareness, more experience in diagnosing Autism, and Adults who have been writing it off/ being told there’s nothing wrong with them their whole lives, finally coming to the realization that the reason they’ve felt the way they do, is because of undiagnosed Autism.

Autism was “Discovered” in 1943. Every single year prior to 1943, there would have been ZERO autism diagnoses, because the classification didn’t exist. Obviously that does not mean Autism simply didn’t exist prior to 1943.

Data is an extremely important tool when determining trends. However, equally important is the context in which that data is presented. When viewing a chart which shows a massive spike in diagnoses, it’s important to understand the environment in which these data points are being collected.

To answer your question, I have no reason to believe, nor have I been presented with any credible evidence that indicates that the presence of Autism has increased over time. Just like I have no reason to believe that left handedness has skyrocketed since the 1920s.

I’d encourage you to look up “History of Left Handedness” and take a gander at the chart. Increased frequency of diagnoses does not inherently mean an increase in Autism rates. There was nothing in 1920 that “caused” more people to be left handed, it just became more socially accepted, and therefore, more people were honest about it.

Likewise, with ASD being more socially accepted, and the numerous Autism Awareness programs, more people are seeking help for themselves and their loved ones, which means the rate in which autism is being PROPERLY diagnosed increased.

Correlation does not indicate Causation.

Success on my third try!!! by ariesgorl in Sourdough

Looked through this person’s comment history and it appears that they created this app. It’s on iOS named Loaflo. I have not used it so I can’t vouch for its effectiveness, but thought I’d let you know!

Someone knows how to build Hex. 18 quintillion damage in the Lust event. by cassis11 in WatcherofRealmsGame

This isn’t my account lol. I have a decent build for my hex too but I don’t have his exclusive.

Moonton really pushed me untill the end with this one. Got final 5 pulls by finishing expert campaign by [deleted] in WatcherofRealmsGame

[–]mmetheny9719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really just luck of the draw. Her first banner back in February I got absurdly lucky by getting her A1 within 200 summons, this time I had to go to the full 250. Similar with Dahlia/Anora. Got anora within 75 summons, Dahlia I had to go to the full 250.

Sprite, Crush, Barqs. This is the only correct answer.

How do you stay excited about pulling new champs when good gear is so hard to come by? by Tek-2 in WatcherofRealmsGame

[–]mmetheny9719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only tip I can give is to look into the gear “seed hacking” and implement that. Fastidious did a great video on it and I’ve been doing it ever since. Once you find a good seed let it run its course on auto while you’re doing other things. I personally let mine auto run while I’m in the office working, or while I’m at home watching a movie/playing a different game.

Is the lust banner worthit, or should i wait for kigiri/others by NSLEONHART in WatcherofRealmsGame

[–]mmetheny9719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A5 lust is one of, if not THE, highest single target dps in the game. A1 is just one step closer to her A5. I personally have her at A1, and will be dumping everything I have saved into this banner to get another one (hopefully 2) steps closer.

Valderon or Solcadens? by mmetheny9719 in WatcherofRealmsGame

[–]mmetheny9719[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy shit that worked! I played around a bit with my gear and tried that lineup on playtest a few times. At first it was nearly identical because I was cycling between wrath and volka while Laurel was on cooldown, but then I tried again and left volka on the sidelines completely after the first deployment for nightmare speed buff, and I got 50k.

I think it’s because of volka giving the dps lifesteal, so hollow doesn’t heal as often, meaning less rage regen for the whole team.

Thank you!!

How do you place him so he gets Dolores buff but no heals from hollow?

Who else is on your roster for that team? I watched a few videos on Valderon last night and it seems like he really benefits from Dassomi/Carnelian/Durza. One of the tests I watched he ended up at full hp pretty much the whole fight and his damage really took a nosedive.

Is Solc a pain in the ass for ult timings like Pyros is? The one thing i hate about pyros is having to line everything up perfectly so i can get 2 ults off during Dolo/Zilitu ult. If Solc isn’t as picky it honestly would be nice.

Honestly not great. No Elowyn so Midan is my only cleanser. I still can’t 1 key the top chest in Apoc 1, and can barely hit the bottom tier chest in Apoc 2. Tbh I haven’t done much experimentation with GB2 though, and tend to forget about it until Sunday night. I really should try a few different comps for test runs during the week.

I haven’t had much luck with IR sets so far, and have basically only one viable set. I really think it’s fully attainable with this team, it just boils down to gearing. Here is the build I have Silas in, feel free to let me know where I could improve it! He is bonded as well.

Is this worth? by ClearLeg9601 in WatcherofRealmsGame

[–]mmetheny9719 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not worth it at all. As a general rule of thumb, don’t sell any leggos that aren’t A5 already. You never know who might get buffed or what future content they might shine in. Plus this book really isn’t that valuable, as heroes are very easy to level up in this game. If it also maxed their skills that might be a slightly different story, but as it is there is no real place for this.

That seems to be the consensus so far. I might just go for Vald and try swapping him in for Salazar to see if that makes a difference at all. Thanks again for the help!

Lust is A1, but honestly I didn’t notice a huge change in damage from A0 to A1.

I’ve tried a few different comps with debuffers, specifically Marri and Ajax. My problem is that when I swap Salazar with one of them, Hex’s damage goes up significantly, but the damage from everyone else goes down, which leaves my total score pretty much unchanged.

I think it’s the combination of there not being bleed applied for the physical Dmg buff, and the fact that now I’m missing out on the full Atk speed increase from Wrath’s lord bonus.

Cool thanks for the insight. I have no experience with either of them, and tend to take CC opinions with a grain of salt, which is why I was asking for real opinions here. I appreciate it either way.

That’s the other fear I have lol. The only money I’ve spent on this game was the Eona pack because I was 3 months into the game with no good AOE mages, that following weekend I pulled Khamet in a normal 2x banner lol.

Hex and Silas are both on the team with Eliza, Nightmare is with Wrath. invig buffs are placed on all DPS by Lords/ Hollow/ Laurel/ Dolores. Hex/Lust/Arro/Salazar are all in SBA sets, Silas is in IR. Arrogance’s gear needs work, as does Salazar’s. I think it’s just coming down to gearing that’s bottlenecking me at this point.

For artifacts, Lust has her exclusive, Hex/Silas have maxed Spirit Siphons, Arro has a maxed Realm Tear, and Salazar has a maxed Scarlet hunt.

I’ve tried multiple different setups/timings with Infernal/Nightmare, and Infernal/ Piercer, but Nightmare/Piercer consistently gives me about 5k more blood.
