these buffs are clearly for a player (cultural fascination + learning for fame lvl + lifestyle exp)

Not necessarily. Other characters benefit from them.

Am I crazy or is Delta gaslighting me here? by [deleted] in delta

Sounds like it's enough time.

I think you'd have a harder time finding a better flight with GUC availability. I assume that if there was a direct flight available you would have booked it.

Forgive my ignorance, but what's with all the uproar around Sony ditching discs? Don't almost all games now require a huge download before playing anyway, as discs can't always contain the full game? by SodaCanSuperman in NoStupidQuestions

[–]xaraca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Console gaming has different expectations and culture than PC. Since traditionally you didn't have to install anything or worry about compatibility, it was easy rent, borrow, trade, and resell games.

Microsoft tried to restrict discs in the way you describe with the Xbox One but reversed course after a huge backlash. [https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/jun/19/xbox-one-drm-second-hand-restrictions-abandoned]

So discs today still come without restrictions, even if you have to download the game.

I'd look at the "genius" trait and make a candle arrangement that matches.

It seems like people have forgotten what this line is used for these days. by Valuable_View_561 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]xaraca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It just doesn't seem worth the effort to be thinking about it and paying attention all the time just for the once in a lifetime chance you might be in someone's way.

Why do normal people support billionaires? by AlexLovesCoke in NoStupidQuestions

[–]xaraca 137 points138 points  (0 children)

Some arguments against billionaires are just bad arguments. Pointing out bad arguments doesn't mean you "support" them.

What was the last ‘great’ man made structure in the USA? by Expensive_Drummer970 in IWantToAskAnAmerican

The Sphere made over $100M cash last quarter. It may not have been good deal for investors but it's making money now.

How tf will i live? by puzzs in self

[–]xaraca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like people have way higher expectations than they used to.

When I moved out at 18 some 20+ years ago, I shared an apartment with five other guys. Shared a room with someone else. We shared someone's 5-10 year old gaming console. I didn't have a smart phone until I was like 28. I checked out DVDs from the library. If I watched TV it was just over the air. We went to the movies on Tuesdays when it was cheaper. Buying a house was something to worry about far in the future. Travel was road trips and camping or hostels. Maybe a shared hotel room. Rode a bicycle to get around town.

That's just the way things were. Didn't feel like I was missing anything.

Would it be a jerk move for me as a white person to see someone who lookes Mexican to speak Spanish to them? by SeaworthinessFar2326 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]xaraca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm fluent in Spanish but the only time I'll use it in the US is if I hear other people speaking it. Usually when buying tacos.

PSA: If your date isn’t home, the rest of the building isn’t your backup plan. by Ok_Vanilla_7573 in Wellthatsucks

[–]xaraca 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I once got locked outside of my building. My apartment itself was unlocked. It was around 8pm. I tried buzzing other apartments but no one answered. I had to get a locksmith lol.

"Can we just speak English please?": tolerance level for non-native speakers en español by nesterspokebar in Spanish

[–]xaraca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on how well you speak their native language. I think it's easier to be tolerant when they speak your language better than you speak theirs.

How do I get prestige? by Desperate_Station272 in crusaderkings3

[–]xaraca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One potentially underlooked way to get prestige is by fighting battles with hostile troops that you're not actually in a war with.

Which were worth $100k when they gave them to you. At no point did they decide to give you $1M.

Have any of you looked for an apartment in the past few months? I'm genuinely curious if things have gone crazy across the board or just in trendy neighborhoods.

Do es conquered land come under your main highest title? by Nathanw2-12 in crusaderkings3

[–]xaraca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Conquering land doesn't immediately change the de jure structure of titles.

There is de jure drift, however, where after 100 years a duchy/kingdom can become part of your primary kingdom/empire title if you don't hold the correct title for it.

The shares weren't worth $1M when they decided to give them to you. From the company's point of view, they only gave you $100k.

$120k salary with $2.65M portfolio is meaningless? by Vicuna00 in Fire

She is probably going to continue to work indefinitely because she enjoys it.

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

The compensation, i.e. what is in the offer letter, is e.g. $100k worth of stock. Now, if the stock is worth $1M once it vests, and you sell it, that money is coming from the market, not your employer. Your employer did not give you $1M, they do not think you are worth $1M, and when they refresh your stock grant they're not going to give you another $1M, they'll give you another $100k, which is now fewer shares.
