    Tell that to Robinhood. Their business model is built on passing incoming trade data to a 3rd party Fintech company which then sells the data to hedge funds to front-run the trades.

    Guild Wars 2

    Elementalist in general was just such a well-designed class. I played dagger/dagger almost exclusively but it was neat to be able to quickly equip a staff and turn into a strategic artillery piece in WvW, with 20 fantastic new abilities at your disposal.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    A real better ending for Cersei would have her birthing a child and having it be a dwarf, her trying to kill the baby and Jaime tossing her out a fucking window.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Right, it's not supposed to be an ideal ending, as that would require going many seasons back to fix the damage they'd already done, but just demonstrate how they could have saved the show with minor re-writes and a better finale. What we got was a totally unsatisfying ending that I would have...

    I agree totally but that's very far out of scope.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    This is how easy it is to fix Season 8 with some edits and a better finale: Ep 1: Basically the same as what we got. Trim some fat and move the Dany/Sansa pissing contest to this episode. Ep 2: Delete 90% of this useless episode. Do the Sam/Jorah/Jon stuff, then jump straight into the battle...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    They should just let all characters use all gathering professions. The way things are currently set up only encourages bots/boxers.

    That's really only true in the midrange cards. The 3080 FE @ MSRP is an insane value in terms of performance per dollar vs the previous generation. The partner cards were a much better value before the tariffs hit the prices.

    Mass effect Remastered - Legendary Edition - 2021

    Javik is a perfect example of how they fucked up ME3. The underlying theme of the 3rd game should have revolved around the revelation that the Protheans were a racist imperialist hegemony and that's why they lost to the Reapers. Cerberus/The Illusive Man were already established as being human...

    Reapers are problematic and have been replaced with skyscraper-sized marshmallow Peeps, which are equally terrifying but for slightly different reasons.

    Yeah but it's ultimately Jon Snow's story and he doesn't give one single shit about the throne.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    My main beef with how GOT ended is not exactly what happened, but the order that things were presented in. The whole point of the story is the fact that the threat of the White Walkers is the true existential threat to Westeros and that the war for the throne is ultimately irrelevant.

    You intentionally mis-quoted me or missed the point because you're stupid, pick one. The point being that financial aid can generally only be used for degree-granting programs. Programs that are certification-based or apprenticeship based generally do not qualify, despite the fact that they...

    Comparing truck driving and plumbing in the same sentence is ridiculous. Becoming a licensed plumber/electrician/etc requires an apprenticeship/journeyman/etc, and in most states, the steps to get onto that career path are intentionally obscured in order to create scarcity in those professions...

    No, it's market forces. The American worker has been dramatically underpaid for a long time. Places that are having trouble finding workers should try paying more money.

    Using subs as field techs is just shit across the entire IT services/telco/utility industry, generally speaking. It was a necessary evil at my old company as we were a global company with a global customer-base, but only had in-house techs for the East coast, Texas and California, but working...

    When I worked for the school department, the union shit was a total shitshow. A union custodian would not touch, clean or move a table or desk with a computer on it, or even Windex a computer monitor, so the network technician (me) had to do it. Any time the floors had to be washed in a room...

    The flip side is that the reason Verizon FIOS install/service techs are actually good is they still use union techs instead of independent contractors with polo shirts in their vans from 5 different companies like all the cable companies do.

    3 months of your pay is nothing to most companies. Actual worker compensation is such a small percent of revenue for most companies. There are much more significant costs to having to rehire people, especially if the economy heats up and new people are hard to find. Add to this the fact that...

    That's got major selection bias issues, because the top percentile of competitive players are going to pick the 'best' covenant. Also fuck moonkin, that's the most problematic spec in the game right now except for maybe fire mages.

    If your slippery slope argument is to have any consistency then you have to draw this line all the way back to Playboy and Penthouse. By your logic, Playboy turned American gay.

    Yeah, I totally get where you're coming from.
