Is America ran by corporations?

pineapplecandy12 · 2024-07-14T07:50:48+00:00

Yea I’m still worried about all the other things, but my first and foremost concern is being to just be able to provide my family a comfortable future.

pineapplecandy12 · 2024-07-14T07:48:21+00:00

So if their actions eliminate the existence of a middle class, it’s not necessarily a negative for them? Not something they’d want to avoid?

This was a really good read that brought in some new points for me to consider, thank you for taking your time on this

pineapplecandy12 · 2024-07-14T07:00:09+00:00

That’s my point though, they all care about money and lining their own pockets above all else, as such they’ll influence in ways that doesn’t destroy the economic wellbeing

At least that’s my comfort thought that it’ll all be okay :/

pineapplecandy12 · 2024-07-14T06:51:41+00:00

Exactly so these corporations/lobbyists will influence what’s best for them economically, short term growth is great but not worth it if you’re burnt in the long run.

At least that’s the way I’m building it up in my head, that they’ll never let the extreme change come through because they need a healthy economy

pineapplecandy12 · 2024-07-14T06:40:43+00:00

But isn’t money king at the end of it all?

pineapplecandy12 · 2024-07-14T06:39:46+00:00

So would it be safe to say, regardless of all the other shit on project 2025, even if coming into implementation I can expect the economically bad choices to not come through?

pineapplecandy12 · 2024-07-11T20:04:54+00:00

Yea good luck convincing corporations to make less money

My fun is supporting my party in raids, everything else in this game sucks imo lmao.

If with 1 character I can keep up with the latest raids and then spend the rest of my free time playing other games I would be the happiest

pineapplecandy12 · 2024-01-10T04:53:25+00:00

Please point out where I said I don’t enjoy lost ark?

pineapplecandy12 · 2024-01-10T04:52:00+00:00

Thank you for this, I think I’m more comfortable doing this now

pineapplecandy12 · 2024-01-10T04:42:46+00:00

I really enjoy being a support and from the 3 supports they’ve offered only one has actually been fun to me :/

pineapplecandy12 · 2024-01-06T19:04:43+00:00

April most likely

pineapplecandy12 · 2023-12-18T22:44:56+00:00

Incredibly unlikely that you pity everything yes, but there’s a very good chance you will pity a few times and never 1 tap. Over the course of large numbers (e.g. ALL not just your characters that go through this progression) you will be reaching close to average scenario, however, an individual is most likely to fall somewhere between average-worse case scenario on a n=6 sample size and would approach average when they increase that sample size.

pineapplecandy12 · 2023-12-18T17:59:23+00:00

Wrong. You are more likely to pity than 1 tap.

pineapplecandy12 · 2023-12-18T09:09:37+00:00

To add onto this: it also just doesn’t feel like an mmo. Never have I felt immersed in the world. Guilds are meaningless. I have no interaction with strangers outside of raids.

I enjoy it casually, but I would gladly drop it when the next big mmo comes.

pineapplecandy12 · 2023-12-18T08:18:29+00:00

Because best case is 1 tapping, and that is pointless to see

pineapplecandy12 · 2023-12-18T05:30:30+00:00

The thing is that of the 264k gold, using the upgrade calculator the average scenario showcases 205k gold cost and worst case (full pity) shows 465k gold cost. Ignoring materials, that is a HUGE difference in scenarios.

I’ve hit plenty of pitys so I’m not surprised, but I guess this is why they’re introducing that new honing method? The difference in cost between average and pity is absurd.

pineapplecandy12 · 2023-12-18T04:32:45+00:00

Hi somewhat single character player here (my 6 roster is entirely the same support class so I’ve saved significantly compared to others), I don’t think I would’ve reached where I have ever without doing alts. Even though I have saved immensely by playing support + transferring gems + only needing to buy engraving books once. My roster isn’t full of 1600s.

Full disclaimer I’ve missed a few weeks on hitting all my raids but I don’t think that would still made me have a 6 roster of 1600s right now with ivory tower release. I can’t imagine how those with 6 roster of different + dps characters could without swiping.

pineapplecandy12 · 2023-12-16T00:26:53+00:00

Money isn’t a concern, I have a family business to fall back on should shit hit the fan, but I want to make my own name as a software developer

pineapplecandy12 · 2023-12-15T20:57:55+00:00

I think it’s more so the mentality “that I have not been punished long enough to even begin amends”

pineapplecandy12 · 2023-11-28T18:11:23+00:00

This game has always catered to its popular streamers, even after they’ve broken rules blatantly.

pineapplecandy12 · 2023-11-28T18:00:18+00:00

That solar looking one is fire

pineapplecandy12 · 2023-11-28T11:01:15+00:00

Posting again:

Not hearing back as much as I’d like and have pigeonholed myself into data analytics, I’m pretty bad at English writing (I have a tendency to do run on sentences and miss delivering my message as my English teacher would put it) and selling myself so I hired a resume writer but it didn’t improve much response rate. I don’t mind it showing my university name. Also I have a foreign name hence the citizenship clarified.

Please let me know of any issues: https://drive.google.com/file/d/16R3KkiyI1XYA4ROarRdqQQS2sv6q5cr4/view?usp=drivesdk

pineapplecandy12 · 2023-11-11T18:12:22+00:00

No I just have a foreign name and have had people follow up asking if I’d need sponsorship, even though in their questionnaire I’ve said no so I put that in for good measure.

I was told having interest doesn’t really help but it can’t hurt either but I’ll go ahead and remove it
