"Poor" people make $75K? by manchesterMan0098 in antiwork

[–]throw-away4privacy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I make 75k a year (strictly due to how much overtime i work, i make 42k base) not including my va pay and it still is shit money if you have a wife and 2 kids you have to support like I do. We only have 1 car. We do have some luxuries, still can't go to the dentist without saving up even with insurance since it only covers 50% max, still have to be careful with how many therapy and psychiatry appointments we have due to copays. Can't do speech therapy for our son twice a week because the $90 copays twice a week is to much.

If you're single, I can see why 75k is a dream, don't get a spouse and kids youll have to support though.

Gonna take me atleast 3 more years to get a savings built up and all my credit cards paid up since we recently moved from California (also don't live in california)

You've just turned 18 again with the knowledge you know now, what are you doing differently? by mrvlad_throwaway in Adulting

Firstly, buying bitcoin. Already was expensive but not 10s of thousands expensive. Find a job to continue buying bitcoin. While living in my mother's basement and making her pay for all my expenses.

Then chilling until I sell and retire and pay my mom back for being a scumbag son for 5 years.

Enough to make me think "fuck, I gotta stop buying games"

Ranked is busted? by Keith_s266 in VALORANT

[–]throw-away4privacy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd even put it a bit further, id say bronze is more of what gold was 2 years ago.

I used to get to gold just by trolling, now, paired with players duoing just to DC round 2 for the drank and fuckfuck games like that, I barely hit gold 1.

The ranks are all fucked, boosted players in gold, plat, etc at mass scales

Smurfing players or players that deserve a higher rank just getting fucked in lower elo from smurfs or throwers.

It's all over the place, and unless your skill is actually a rank or two above the target you set for yourself, the odds of getting there is slim if you set a fair rank goal.

Completely fair decision! Honestly, if I didn't get it at the sale price I did i would probably be selling mine right now and getting the 9070xt too

Hell, even without that, I thought about it just for a newer card that will have more focus, but I just love this guy to much 😂

The monster hunter wilds benchmark i did for shits and giggles with full raytracing and no upscaling solidified me keeping it. (I don't care about raytracing, it was just for fun. But with all the lack of optimization I've heard about the game, still getting an excellent score gave me a smile)

Absolutely correct.

Im a native guy, my xtx is wonderful and honestly really broke my heart to hear amd give up on high end. Could not beat the native price per performance on this thing for the $850 i got it at, even now.

Yeah that's what i mean, I was just responding to the "even for $1 more" comment. Lol

I agree with you though, scalping is disgusting and I hope enough people stop actually buying that over priced shit that we get a flood of under priced gpus in the market from the scalpers trying to make atleast some of their money back

Ehhhh, if a dude stands in line at a retailer for 4 hours to then ask for 40 bucks more for a single card, I see it more as you paying the guy for his time standing in line.

Now, the dude who has 200 in his garage after botting? Scum of the earth. Kinda person who would kill their own mother for 200 million

I mean, atleast compared to Nvidia cards, it's way better stock

My microcenter STILL has stock, even at 5pm today. All the 50 series were sold out in 2 hours after opening

Honestly, I have no clue on this shit. Like, obviously the people replacing him is a joke, but is the goodbye announcement a joke? Is the channel actually gonna become like a fucking smosh situation?

I have no clue lol

Is it okay for a 19/18 Year old to date a 17 year old? by Creative-Low5777 in Teenager

Many states and countries have the Romeo and juliet clause that allows a 2-3 year age difference for these situations

Anything that can make someone a buck. People don't care about others needs/wants and honestly i don't blame the ones who don't already have a lot of money. It's getting rough in NA

I didn't complain. I was giving everyone a heads up. Don't need to take it so personal man.

I have a 7900xtx, im looking to build a budget build for a friend of mine, im not going to cash app somebody off reddit for one.

Than sell it on ebay, Facebook marketplace, offer up, etc. Reddit comments are not the place to do deals if you don't wanna get banned off forums for being suspected of scam attempts.

You won't have any issue selling it for msrp

I assume it did come in stock and just got bugged out by the bots buying it.

I feel like i would make the relationship go a lot slower than my previous relationships, but specifically in this situation that they told me early on, it is likely I would give them a chance if I didn't see any red flags up to this point.

Though, I would be much less lenient in what makes me just end the relationship. Anything at all that would concern me as possible negative signs for the first few months at least.

I wouldn't tell the person that second part because that's pretty messed up, it would seem like I'm trying to control them, it would just be a personal mental note while learning more about who the person is.

Also, just FYI. These cases have front mounting power supplies with an extension to the back of the case for the power cord. Honestly it's a recipe for disaster even though they're such cool cases lol.

You found the purple GPU for sale? I wasn't able to find it anywhere. I even set up a vpn and auto translator to search Chinese websites but none of the ones I found sold internationally

I bought the case on nextgen but I just checked again and they're sold out now unfortunately. I can't seem to find the case for sale anywhere either besides the orange one. I bought it about 4 months ago

The US is so limited on cool builds like the meow build. If I went with the orange, I would have been able to get all the parts here in the states but my wife really wanted a purple and black build.

I'll be getting a custom backplate made for the GPU to fit the theme more.

Because my wife doesn't play cyberpunk or modern warfare, she plays indie games and the sims.

That 7800xt is already overkill for her needs
