    The point is "nobody wants to work anymore" has been a cultural meme for a very long time. Every generation says it, every year, under good economic conditions and bad.

    There's a thread somewhere of someone finding the quote "no one wants to work anymore" in printed in a news article every year for over 150 years. I can't find the long version, only the original abbreviated version on Twitter.

    They nerfed all the resists and casters still do half the DPS of physical DPS with the right buff synergies.

    At level 15 you get 100 rep per uncompleted supply crate, or 300 per completed supply crate. That's 30 uncompleted supply crates to Friendly, or 10 completed supply crates. (You used to have to get Honored, which was triple that.) Completing supply crates costs a significant amount of...

    The priest rune is fucking useless. The rogue rune gives 10% parry and faster combo point generation. It's not required for tanking. The one that's required for tanking requires grinding the new reputation, which was originally Honored and took forever before they lowered it to Friendly...

    No the Ratchet quest for Grizzby. My point is that the rune is at level cap. If the idea was that Blizzard wanted more tanks for leveling dungeons, they should have made all the tanking stuff accessible sooner.

    Yes, but it's for a different role for each class. If the purpose of adding tanking to Rogues was to make the role more accessible, putting it on the most expensive rune was a dumb idea. For Warriors, the same expensive Ratchet quest rune is a basically just a PvP rune.

    Tanking as a rogue is obnoxious and requires a very expensive rune. Total failure as a concept, unlike Warlock which works fantastic. Feral and pally are also fantastic.

    The precision with which sensors in even 'economy' cars have improved in the past five years is astounding. No one had this tech in their cars 15 years ago. Anyway, your thesis that the world is gonna fall apart because they can't find competent people to assemble your Big Mac that you...

    Low IQ take. The smartphone is the most democratized technology the world has ever seen. Practically every adult on the planet has one, and they're all roughly just about as good as the other, IE a $1400 iphone is not that much better than a $200 Motorola. They both run basically the same...

    Nope, I didn't argue this either. The basic hardware does not change very much, and the amount of shit we have to know and pay attention to continues to grow. We live in a noisy, chaotic world that's literally changing faster than we can think. That people might 'seem' stupider by dint of...

    The average college student needs to know a lot of other shit not on that test, not just to succeed in school, but also to exist in modern society. They did not need to spend a bunch of time learning how to drive a car, operate a computer, etc. They also didn't need to learn about the past...
