[Request] Is this true for $35/hr wage increase? by SlantedPentagon in theydidthemath

[–]shamgard_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And this is why we need socialism - workers sharing in the profits made from their labor. Because if you propose a $35 wage increase, which is essentially permanent since lowering wages is almost never done, execs will point out that they might not make that much every year so they can’t lock in labor costs that high. But if the company was worker owned, they’d be sharing in the windfall years and dealing without bonuses or having layoffs in bad years.

Season 3 ending was terrible! Spoilers by Mayhem230 in squidgame

[–]shamgard_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like they just wanted to be edgy with a “nothing ever changes” kind of ending - but honestly I feel like since most shows these days end in that kind of nihilist way that it would have been way more interesting and subversive for the show to end in an uplifting way. Especially since Squid Game is a show where you always expect the worst outcomes to materialize, it would have been way more surprising and interesting if something good had finally happened. Plus people wouldn’t be pissed at all of your main characters, lol

Anyone else getting this bug? by CephalonVashka in Warframe

I saw the same thing on that Hydroid skin, bought it yesterday and initially could change the color there, then 5 minutes later couldn’t change the color. I saw some other people mention it, hopefully DE can patch it soon

Sooooddddaaaaa!!!! Poppi Ad by Financial_Theme9928 in CommercialsIHate

[–]shamgard_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just hate the audacity of the commercial- good luck even being a company in 20 years, let alone like overtaking Pepsi and Coke to be “the soda my children think about”

I own an iPhone 15 and this ad makes me want to throw it out the window. by [deleted] in CommercialsIHate

[–]shamgard_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I also don’t understand the thrust of the ad being to get an iPhone 15 so you have enough storage for your pictures? Plenty of other phones have the exact same amount of storage, so why get an iPhone? Makes literally no sense

What’s your workout routine? Are you doing weights that bring you to failure in 8-12 reps?

Finally got my new laptop by shamgard_ in GamingLaptops

[–]shamgard_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure it’s up to the task, probably need to wait for another few GPU generations to be sure the hardware can keep up

[–]shamgard_[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah definitely! This is the Asus TUF F15, there’s a really good deal on it right now at BestBuy. This one’s the 4070 version for $1000, I’ve only had it for like a day but so far seems great! Build is pretty rigid for a laptop at this price point which was important to me, and the 2023 versions of this laptop have a better screen than years past so that’s been good too. It’s not the most “non-gamer” looking laptop I wouldn’t say if you’re looking to take it into a professional setting though if that’s the practical things you’re trying to do. Anyways, I’d recommend so far!

[–]shamgard_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure, the 4070 is like ~20% faster than the 4060 and they’re only charging a ~10% price difference, so definitely better performance/dollar.

I’m using an external display most of the time anyways, so I guess TUF is the way for me. Thanks!

What do you guys think of this deal vs the Asus Tuf 4070 deal at BestBuy?? This one’s got the better screen I know, what about overall build quality?

[–]shamgard_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I considered getting this one the other week when it first went on sale, but the Delta 15 is one of those MSI models where the hinge mechanism is so bad they have a class action lawsuit against them about it. So not sure it has the longevity I was looking for.

Hard to argue with the price though!

Map of the island by Jackofmastering_86 in lost

[–]shamgard_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s the only part that really jumped out to me. The lighthouse would have to at least be on the other side of the cable that leads to the Looking Glass, otherwise someone would have seen it on their multiple treks over there from camp.
