GET IN YOUR FUCKING RUBBER ROOM

We have, for years, multiple times. EDIT: If you think i haven't argued with every single person in this thread for hours over the state of SG and where to go next you my friend, are not sadly mistaken, but ignorantly mistaken.

Except it's coming from people who have all put more than their fair share of time and effort into the place.

+1, I also agree with SpiritWind. Dom you know 100% what electric said was completely factual. I don't even need to argue with you about it. Anyone who's been promoted to BD and does what everyone who gets promoted to BD does, knows he's right. Most of us took part in it as well so we aren't clean, but don't sit there and act like what electric said was just complete bullshit and he's a pussy for using a VPN. Your just doing yourself a disservice.

They did

Thanks jazzy

Hello SteamGamers, I'm happy to announce the release of our new 1v1 server! This server is setup slightly differently than how we have had it in the past and hope it brings a better spin on the game mode! Server IP 135.148.3.3:27015 Our leveling system allows you to rank up or down depending on specific criteria and how you perform in each round. Start as a lowly Silver and see if you can make your way all the way up to Global Elite! We are toying with the idea of having a monthly contest with this feature and giving the chance of winning free supporter/games/peripherals so please hop on, put some time into the server and let us know if you come across any bugs or have any ideas we can use to improve the server.

You've been observant, looking for your chance to break away from the madness that is prison. One of the guards lowers their gaze to a suspicious inmate. This is it, this is your chance. You make a mad dash to the first cell and locate the cracked concrete. You get rid of it with the handy knife the prison was nice enough to lend you. You can smell freedom as you crouch down and size up the hole in the wall. You go through and teleport. Egad! Your in the armory, and there's guns everywhere! You pick one up, no bullets, grab an AK, no bullets, there's a deagle to your left and you pick it up....no bullets. You look up and there's a man with a cigar in his mouth looking down the barrel of a high caliber sniper rifle pointed between your eyes. You go to shoot in a moment of panic and...no bullets, just the terror inducing sound of an empty magazine. You see the man flash a faint smile, the last thing you hear... Boom, headshot. /scene

You can find @Cautionin the armory every round with an awp. It doubles as the complaint department

Your turn

It sounds good and I'd be all for it if our country was filled with ethically and morally sound individuals. But we live in a society where it's common for people to pop out as many kids as they can, kick out the dad, for that sweet government paper. The more you give the more the shitty ones will take and in a population of 300 million+, maybe I'm just a pessimist, I'd say the majority of low wage workers would jump at the opportunity to do less and get more. Maybe controversial but, I'd rather them continue to lower their own quality of life and those they are responsible for, than lower mine and everyone elses in the form of being a drain on the system that they could otherwise not be if they had self motivation. I'll also provide this point which I had a discussion with someone, if you increase the minimum wage to your definition of "liveable" (not sure what you would set that as feel free to let me know as I'd say defining what liveable is in this case is something we should have done on page one), what happens if low skill workers are replaced by kiosks/computers. I'm not talking people who are already established in a career and their company swaps them out for a computer, they'll be fine, they've built a resume up. I'm talking about the cashier at mcdonalds who's worked 40 hours a week for the last 6 years while not learning any skills to improve their life, and they suddenly get replaced by a computer? We know it's just a matter of time anyway but increasing the minimum wage would seriously speed up this transition. We all know companies will increase their profits wherever feasible, why then would they not replace their cashiers at every location with the hot new system, retain maybe 5% just to have 1-2 people at each location in case something goes wrong? What happens to all those people who have spent the last few years doing nothing with their lives and making crap money at mcdonalds? They make slightly better money for 1-2 years and then can't get a job? They go get another low skilled minimum wage job? I would be curious to see what you define as a "liveable" wage, and what living conditions should be the "standard" that a "liveable" wage could fund.

I just don't understand what the problem is with taking accountability of your life and working towards it's betterment regardless of where you start. People have become successful with no help from all walks of life. People who aren't born here and grew up having less than everyone on this website are more successful than you are right now. How is that not your own fault?

I’m not reading all this

I can agree with the this first part to an extent. Sure where you come from effects how you view the world. However you need to think for yourself and look at the big picture in the world. You just said you could have had a better life but instead you had no discipline and chased hedonism and “your passion” and now you live life thinking it’s everyone else’s fault except your own. I was in a shitty situation, I enjoyed the people I worked with and believe me the mechanic and owners of that amusement park worked harder than all of your fast food workers. Unless you think tearing down a roller coaster and maintaining 15 other rides is easier than fast food service. point is you can chase your passion but if your passion doesn’t pay shit whose fault is it? Did you not research average salaries and upward movement in your job sector? I agree on a societal level you need idiots, however on an individual level you don’t have to be that idiot. Not all homeless people are the same, some have phones paid for by the government that they only use to jerk off on the side walk while your kids walk by, you want to save those? Lots have just straight given up and find it easier to be homeless, this is not debatable it’s a fact. The ones that don’t want to be where they are will put the effort in to get out of that situation and I agree they deserve some help, but I’d bet my bank account al of the people who recognize where they are and deserve that helping hand will recognize where they went wrong. Sometimes life hands you a bad set of cards and things happen outside of your control but if you look close enough you did something somewhere. If you can’t relate to that kind of attitude towards ultimate responsibility over your life and the decisions you made throughout life then we are fundamentally different and it would be pointless to keep going. I think your conclusion is noble and I’m willing to believe you want the best for people down on their luck but we live in a country filled with people waiting to take advantage of any help offered and be further of a drain on the system lowering everyone else’s quality of life as they have to pay more and more to subsidize shit decisions and lack of accountability by others. That’s too ingrained and in our society and it’s not going to change. If you want to keep fighting against the reality of where you live then it’s time to accept where you are based on your decisions or move to Germany. I would also say that the general longevity of happiness of people who think and live as you do is lower than that of people who think like me. When something goes wrong I blame me inspect what happen and find out where I went wrong and what I could have done to avoid that. People who think like you throw their hands up and say da gubbament!!

Victim mentality if you met the hardest working people in McDonald’s then your the type of person I’m talking about. You nor them have worked hard. You worked a shitty job that a high schooler can accomplish and it drained you because in the back of your mind you knew you weren’t doing anything to help yourself. your manager now likely put his time in at the lower levels and worked his way up. How does one become a manger at McDonald’s? Getting the most orders correct? Making the most burgers? Or simply not moving on long enough that your the only realistic option Stressful and draining doesn’t mean hard working. your paycheck is your compensation for what you’ve worked. You agreed to it, don’t like it? Do something about it. I entered the workforce at 16 picking up garbage, landscaping and many other odd jobs as a grounds crew member at an amusement park. After 10 years I made 15$ and only because minimum wage kept going up. I had enough and decided to learn networking, got my CCNA, did helpdesk for 5 years where I trained most of my companies employees while still taking the most calls per month. It was stressful and draining but I wouldn’t call sitting at a desk taking phone calls hard work. I tasted what the bottom of the barrel was like an so I got my shit together learned a skill, gained some financial literacy and made a plan. Something most of the people your referring to probably didn’t. Most of them probably have ridiculous debt because they didn’t understand money and made huge financial decisions that put them in the red and made them stuck. They didn’t just wake up one day and have no money. If you have a job and rent is half your income that’s your stupid decision. im not saying I agree with the pick yourself up by the bootstraps but if you don’t do anything to make your life better and just expect a handout or for everything to be okay in the end when you’ve done nothing to prepare for a good ending your just an idiot.

Thrza saying you have to look at how people reach their conclusions might be the most intelligent thing I’ve ever seen him type out. I’m so proud. No offense Wawa, but you’ve always given the view point that if work then get reward. If you work at McDonald’s for 30 years because you never cared to build a skill set, no you don’t deserve anything except the harsh reality of putting no effort into your life. You don’t get to skip class all through school, not go to college, not build a profitable skill set, not go to any secondary school, not save any money for retirement, refuse to live within your means, and then as you get towards the finish line demand the next generation and the rest of your country subsidize your poor choices for the last 50 years. You over simplify your position by just saying if you work most of your life you should be rewarded. I cleaned bathrooms at McDonald’s my whole life, smoked weed everyday, and never once thought about how any of my actions now could affect my life in the future, when you gonna cut me a check?

Come on down to ram ranch

I've been recently playing a lot more FaceIt and noticed a lot of people have this Leetify clan tag so I did some research. For those of you who don't know Leetify is a stat tracking system that shows you how you perform per match in different areas of your gameplay. They also run a promotion where for everyday you use their steam clan tag in game you get a day of their pro service for free. I don't know all the ins and outs of the system and process but at a high level the idea of a group of people using their steam tag (which is the only way I found out about it) is great advertisement in CSGO. I've noticed that you guys were running the bump the discord for free supporter thing so I figured I'd leave this idea here and maybe someone wants to bring it the full distance. Here's the link for those who want to get started on their own research. https://beta.leetify.com/app/referrals Hope all is well, cheers

Do you prefer prebuilt or would you be assembling the pc?
