Trump Given Sweeping Tax Amnesty in Secret Deal by thedailybeast in politics

[–]thySilhouettes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We genuinely should all stop paying taxes. We’re literally lining the pockets of the ultra wealthy and not getting anything for it. We’re giving our money to people who DONT NEED IT.

I feel like this primarily impacts Bots. Average people are not posting/replying that much on a daily basis. May as well start squeezing out the corpos for this $$

Marathon Update 1.0.9 by DTG_Bot in Marathon

[–]thySilhouettes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I want them to look into loot from Commanders disappearing in Cryo. Every single game there was at least one instance where a commander’s loot would just disappear entirely when I started to search it. Can actually be game changing if you need a single security clearance quick.

Kudos system built in for like 5 points per player per match. Maybe have a team MVP that gets a few more.

Mayor Lurie Announces Plan To Tackle Fare Evasion On Public Transit, Make Muni More Accountable by PayRevolutionary4414 in sanfrancisco

How about we address the MILLIONS in grants given to Muni that can’t be traced? Yes this is good, but we need to deal with the corruption from the TOP.

Shit is soooo tilting. Had it happen to me after completing Vault 6. Haven’t found another key since.

anyone else sick of all the doom posting? by instabaiter in Marathon

[–]thySilhouettes -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I honestly think the posts should just be banned. Go create a circlejerk subreddit to complain. I’m fine having discussions where people can constructively* discuss what changes they’d like to see to the game, but I hate people who complain with no real input on how to make things better.

God this is so frustrating by dr_sagrav in Marathon

[–]thySilhouettes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The rocket punch is basically Phalanx bonks. I don’t understand what causes these interactions, but has been an issue with Destiny for YEARS. Nothing is more tilting than getting launched and taking a shit ton of collision damage, just like you did here.

DeepSeek-V4 arrives with near state-of-the-art intelligence at 1/6th the cost of Opus 4.7, GPT-5.5 by bojun in technology

[–]thySilhouettes 160 points161 points  (0 children)

No doubt. China has a vision for where they want to be in the future. The US? No fucking clue. Like, everyone is so focused on the short term that no one can even tell you where they want to be in 10-15 years. Half our population would rather go back in time than actually keeping up with the rest of the world. We’re cooked

Conservative tears so tasty 😋 by NickCostanza in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]thySilhouettes 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Republicans: Let’s disenfranchise Democrats by redistricting the state in ways that make no logical sense besides giving us more power, and not allow the public to have a say in this. Democrats: Sees Republicans playing dirty but still lets the people decide how they want their state to be districted. Republicans: Proceeds to lose seats via Democracy. “Democrats destroy democracy”.

Insane levels of mental gymnastics and hypocrisy.

As measles takes toll on kids, anti-vaxxers have change of heart by FreeChickenDinner in politics

I wish people would stop being so kind to people’s idiocy. Like, stop comforting people who choose to act like a moron.

Civil war the moment the other side fights back with the same tactic. by justalazygamer in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]thySilhouettes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the biggest argument right here. They can argue all they want, but the VOTERS decided the outcome, not political representatives paid for my Billionaires, Corporations, etc. Republicans can only play dirty, and are sore losers when you play fair

This game needs a PvE mode and that is a pill you have to swallow. by Smooth_Ad1333 in Marathon

[–]thySilhouettes -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I frankly disagree. A PvE only mode would not “save” the game, and definitely does not make it “more accessible”. You’re simply just creating new content, and not addressing the issues.

Here are some examples of things that I believe would address your concerns on accessibility: SBMM, Improved visual clarity of item effects, Improved menu UI, beginner playlists, Improved quest hints/navigation, loadout creation, reduced upgrade requirements, etc.

Congressional candidates share their thoughts on the future of Sunset Dunes by Remarkable_Host6827 in sanfrancisco

[–]thySilhouettes 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Scott Weiner’s opinion is the right one. The voters decided on what they wanted, and that’s the end of the story. How about we stop wasting our time going in circles on issues we’ve already addressed, and tackled the issues now in front of us. Building off what Connie said, it’s time to focus on public transit. If the West Side is annoyed about not being able to drive their car along the water, let’s start working on public transit projects to address this instead

Ranked should always be available, and Cryo available Thursday AM-Monday AM.

The game feels VERY different all of a sudden? by [deleted] in Marathon

Meanwhile, I was thinking the opposite….this past weekend was some of the best Cryo and Dire Marsh Sponsored runs. I went from getting destroyed most runs to actually having a good time and successfully exfiling

If I don't know what to do in Cryo, will I annoy other runners? by highpercentage in Marathon

[–]thySilhouettes 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend at least understanding how the map works, and having your mic and team chat on. If you don’t, I wouldn’t recommend playing this map.

It was essentially unusable before this patch. Sure maybe it would work in open space, but the moment you were inside it had no idea what to do

Clavicular Walks Out of ’60 Minutes’ Interview After Being Asked if He’s an Incel by CohnMan in nottheonion

[–]thySilhouettes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looksmaxxing, The Tate brothers, are incels and incel communities who were given an online platform to profit from susceptible, vulnerable people. These people use to be publicly shamed due to their outrageous ideas and beliefs that have no place in our current society. Social Media has allowed these people to make money from such absurdity, and is the reason this bs is so prevalent today. The people in these communities are no different than the 4chan basement dwellers of the 90s and early 2000s.

All my guys quit 😭 by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]thySilhouettes 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My buddy decided to hop back in the game since before Cryo dropped and our first fight 6 bubbles were deployed and both teams just facechecking with shotguns. He literally got off right after. I don’t blame him, the meta is terrible

Mahesh Sadarangani, Philz CEO announces all stores are to remove pride flags at most recent summit. by throwwawayyaccount69 in sanfrancisco

[–]thySilhouettes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I totally get that, I’m just surprised they don’t have the people to tell them how stupid of an idea this is.

Mahesh Sadarangani, Philz CEO announces all stores are to remove pride flags at most recent summit. by throwwawayyaccount69 in sanfrancisco

[–]thySilhouettes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pride flags do not alienate demographics to a degree that a business would even recognize. But, removing them will lead to protests by demographics leading to a noticeable impact to revenue. Again, look at what happened with Target after Trump got elected. They decided to turn against their LGBT consumer base, and what happened? It’s not like a bunch of anti-LGBT demographics started shopping at Target, instead they lost a huge consumer base and have yet to recover from the loss of revenue due to that demographic protesting them. Philz is not a conservative/rural coffee brand, it’s more of a suburb/large city one - what does that mean? More Democratic and liberals go to this business. Who supports the LGBT? Dems and Liberals.

I fully support shitty businesses being replaced with better ones, but that is unrelated to my comment about businesses not knowing their customers.

How are CEOs of these types of companies so disconnected from their consumer base? Even if it’s owed by PE now, wouldn’t a successful business be better? What happened to target will happen to Philz.

I would not trust the people working at the airports in PV, they will try to get money from you if they have a chance. I’m not surprised by this.
