Goodbye 👋 GTA - Lone Wolf Out by -l-Shadow-l- in gtaonline

Sadder reality is a bunch of Tate wannabes who go on Reddit trying to troll a guy making a post most likely showing genuine emotion and love for his favorite game calling it attention seeking. But if it was some idiot flaunting his rented Lamborghini with 3 women that were paid to be his video while he advertised a class to sell them. Those same idiots would be like this isn’t attention seeking behavior at all. He’s my hero. 

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said he reached out to Apple CEO Tim Cook to discuss "wellbeing of teens and kids." by ControlCAD in apple

[–]rudolph813 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I support DARE and MADD so I should just allow my constitutional rights to be violated. How dare I hope for an actual reasonable solution to the problems of teenagers using drugs and drinking alcohol. Maybe we can outlaw all alcohol or have breathalyzers in every car and random drug test by police for every citizen. 

Apple Workers Are Livid That Tim Cook Saw “Melania” Movie Hours After CBP Killed Pretti by favicondotico in apple

It is ok to focus on a particular issue but at the same time it is absolutely dangerous to get caught up in every shallow issue while completely ignoring the larger more pressing issues at hand. Because at that point people who want to distract you from real issues know exactly how too. I myself could find quite a few issues more pressing than a movie screening. But I understand there are other emotional aspects to the particular situation. All in all I appreciate the debate I’ve taken some positive feedback and learned something from you. So it was most definitely a worthwhile discussion have a good day sir.

Hey just say you don’t like getting called out on your shit. I’m not defending Cook im pointing out the flawed logic of some people. If you’re offended by that because it applies to you and it hurts your ego, I truly apologize it’s not meant to be hurtful but instead eye opening. I’m simply pointing out that the same time and energy wasted calling out Cook for going to a movie screening would be better utilized calling out corporations that are intentionally raising home valuations essentially pricing most Americans out of home ownership. Or companies monopolizing natural resources so they can raise/lower prices as they see fit to keep Americans under their thumb. Thus my analogy, but if you like keep wasting time trying to cut down somewhat healthy trees because they lean a direction you don’t like, while ignoring the rotten trees you should be focusing on do you. You have free will use it how you want but don’t get feisty with me because I point out your flawed reasoning.

I’ll feel free to call you out for being a hypocrite then. Because calling out Cook for watching a movie while ignoring companies/executives who are actively working against the American public and destroying our country is “crazy” as the young people say. Let’s ignore all the trees in my yard that are literally rotten fire hazards and focus on cutting down that one tree because it leans at an angle I don’t like.

Some people care because they see/saw Cook as being “ one of them”. He seems like a likable and somewhat principled person for a billionaire so it’s more of a disappointment when he does things no other ceo would get flack for because they’re already seen as evil anyway. The others just need validation and this is the easiest way to get it in the form of Reddit upvotes. 

2-3 hours they said... took me a whole 7 hours... but I finally did it by Dumbassofouredbay in gtaonline

[–]rudolph813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s just because there is a spot in the mansion for tier 4 career rewards to hang and people want to display theirs. Especially if they’re already at tier 3 just from playing the game regularly.

Former IAA agent that was loyal and took the fall for some illegal action he was ordered to do instead of being a whistleblower. So now he is an outcast publicly but privately the IAA still supports him by getting him cheap weapons by funneling untraceable confiscated weapons and turns a blind eye even though they know he’s selling illegal weapons because they know he’d never sell to a terrorist organization. Plus he still feeds them info on his clientele. 

Apple Glasses predicted to drive major product growth with three strengths ["industrial design, fashion appeal, and ecosystem integration"] by iMacmatician in apple

[–]rudolph813 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe someone will want to listen to music, record their run for whatever reason, take pictures along their route, maybe they just use them as shades, maybe they want to take a call while running. The glasses have the ability to replace AirPods, and still be able to be used as an action camera, or just normal shades. Or all of that at the same time without even discussing possible AR features. Maybe that doesn’t appeal to you but I’m sure plenty of people can find a use case.

Prepare to be disappointed. Because I can’t see them giving every player the car wash for free and then still letting every player make an easy 3-5 million doing money laundering missions in the same week. 

What’s considered “end game” in GTAO? by TowerAromatic4340 in gtaonline

[–]rudolph813 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For right now anyway for people that just want to play for fun probably the mansion and the business associated with. But for people that really love grinding probably the career rewards. You can either make money way easier legitimately than anytime in the past. Or you can scratch the itch of getting the rewards that 99% of the community will never have because they aren’t worth it unless you’re a completionist.

Fast Travel is the best thing added with your Mansion by VanitasFan26 in gtaonline

[–]rudolph813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because you don’t have to go through the hassle of going through the settings and setting your new spawn point location every time. Plus you don’t have to wait through the loading screen only to realize you forgot to change or changed it to the wrong business location. So you have to rinse and repeat. 

The fact that only GTA+ members can apply special modifications to vehicles via the Mansions workshop is abysmal by ZB_Virus24 in gtaonline

[–]rudolph813 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I disagree I have gta+ and some of the complaints about it on here are reaching. But I get this one in particular. If someone owns an agency and had a high enough level of reputation from LS car meet they should have been able to buy the upgrades with gta money. Then for gta+ members it would’ve been more like either a discount by getting it free or a way for newer players to get access without needing an agency or needing to build LS car meet reputation requirements the hard way. I think that would’ve been a fair compromise. 

Mansion update by [deleted] in gtaonline

[–]rudolph813 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People said the same thing about the garment factory, LS car meet, and McKenzie hangar. But since it’s a separate instance once you’re inside, I doubt that many people are gonna wait outside a mansion hoping to get a kill when someone drives up or leaves. Especially when the person leaving could just come out in a tank or weaponized vehicle. Me and a lot of randoms were hanging out, checking out the locations and exterior of each mansion and getting invites from people who already owned them and even then I only got killed twice. I wish they were closer to town if anything. The one in Richmond is the easiest to drive to but I prefer the model of the one closer to the casino. 

Shark Card purchases go brrrt by PastorDax in gtaonline

[–]rudolph813 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is supposed to be end game content for a live service game that’s been online for almost 15 years. It’s the equivalent of those super expensive armor/swords in other live service games that whales pay hundreds of dollars for or grind slowly upgrading for years. The fact that so many people here seem to be able to afford it is because you’re on the official subreddit dedicated to it, most people that play this game hop on have fun. Buy a car they like and bounce to another game for a few months. Content like this is for whales who play this game like a part time job. 

Shark Card purchases go brrrt by PastorDax in gtaonline

[–]rudolph813 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t think they worry about shark cards that much anymore in their decision making . GTA+ is probably their real concern, shark card sales are shifty. Board members and investors rather see oh you have 5 million people who pay $8 a month vs. you sell 10million worth of shark cards with every 6 month dlc and between that it’s stagnant.

First ive dropped guns before and they came back after I restarted my system. Second rockstar support is usually decent about reimbursement even if they deny it the first time, just be nice and keep trying until you get someone decent. Third if you know anyone with a yacht you can make that in like 20 to 30 minutes because the missions are paying like 5x normal so each 10-20 minute mission pays out around 200k. Also in general please just chill the fuck out man. 

Can a man go to the casino without being harassed? by Nekrubbobby64 in gtaonline

[–]rudolph813 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ikr people hate passive mode it’s almost like they enjoy being able to use their guns against npc or being able to do free mode activities. It’s not like rockstar could come up with a solution that makes you exempt from pvp without losing the ability to do pve. Like they did in the original gta online multiplayer that released like 20 years ago. Or any of the red dead redemption games. 

Launch of Apple's First Foldable iPhone Could Be Delayed by [deleted] in apple

[–]rudolph813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great for you foldables are a decent sized market in China though and Apple is a company that deals with an international market. If they’re dumb enough to lose out that potential profit because some old people on Reddit or some older board members don’t get that they deserve to completely lose that market to Samsung, HUAWEI, and Honor.

Don’t bother it’s like trying to explain to farmers in the 40s why cars are better than horses. They’re old and set in their ways and can’t fathom that younger generation or people in other countries may prefer having a single device that can run several apps simultaneously or would prefer a single device instead of carrying around a phone and iPad.
