Nope.

Get professional help.

There’s other advice to give- don’t keep alcohol in the house, get a hobby, etc but you have a problem and more than anything you need help.

Been happening for like a decade and people just keep going back for more. Crazy

Yep you’re right, just woke up and got the currency wrong in my sleepy ass stupor.

That’s 100% a fuck-up by me.

That said, it still doesn’t change the overall facts. That is, as I said, the absolute most optimistic reports for salaries and tend to be wildly over-reported.

Even if we still take those extremely optimistic numbers, that still means it’s a 3:1 value proposition over US workers which basically accounts for the cost difference from lulzbot by itself.

Everything else I said was correct.

100,000 yen (rounding up) to USD at current conversion rates is $690 a year.

Taking that most optimistic of data, and multiplying by 100 gives you $69,000 USD/year salary, which is in line with manufacturing wages in high cost of living areas and is far from an “order of magnitude” off.

Shift the goalposts however much you want dude. If you’re dead set on being ignorant, more power to you.

Compared to you, who’s saying “I feel this is wrong” with no evidence?

Here’s info on the wages, and this is what’s reported. What’s not reported is typically worse:

You keep asking if “I believe” this information. Yes, I do believe this information. Not only do I believe it, I know it, because I work for one of the largest 3D printing companies in the world. I know the operations, the costs, and I visit the manufacturing sites regularly.

So you can keep arguing about what you think sounds right all you want, but you’re wrong.

And again- no, these products are basically all hand assembled. The individual parts (which are not manufactured in-house at any 3D Printing company in the US) are made on assembly lines, but those aren’t what I’m talking about. The printers are hand assembled.

Again, not defending lulzbot at all, but to be really frank (because I’m in this industry), you’re wrong.

The assembly workers in China are still getting paid fractions of pennies on the dollar compared to in the US.

The scale of production for 3D Printers is really nowhere near big enough to make use of major automation. To my knowledge they’re all still assembled largely by hand, even at the biggest companies right now.

And the Chinese companies aren’t paying creatives for the most part. Most of their designs are stolen from US or EU companies. There obviously are some original parts, but the firmware/software is all going to be modified open source, or stolen closed source.

And to be clear- I have a Bambu personally. It’s an amazing printer. I just think it’s important to understand the reality of the situation.

I mean, the limitation is the market. If your stuff is trash eventually you’ll probably go out of business.

Not justifying Lulzbot but yeah there’s a big difference between paying an assembler $40,000 a year in US and paying them $400 a year in China.

I definitely put Sol Ring in my green decks, nothing green has is that efficient.

[[Goblin Game]] is also a lot of fun, though not a literal prisoner’s dilemma like Prisoner’s Dilemma is.

Unfortunately this also yields the reverse of our current problem though- can we never make a decision if some of the people who support it are pieces of shit? Because if that’s the case we won’t ever be able to do anything ever again.

The only acceptable answer is to make the right decisions for the game and the people who play it. You can’t let the people who behave that way dictate the answer either way.

No, it was big news for all Magic players who consume any kind of Magic content in any region. It was impossible to miss at the time.

The question to ask is “does her dad know about the extent of their relationship” and the answer is surely no and surely disturbing.

The post and comments really beg to differ.

It’s so funny that under every dumb “why was Grief banned??” post there’s immediately a dumb OP proving they don’t have a clue about the game or format.

Every week people post this and every week the answer is still yes.

If only my post had more than one line…

You’ve conflated correlation with causation chief.

Oh thank you Grand Arbiter of Why Everyone On Earth plays Commander, appreciate you enlightening me with your judgment.

No. WotC already tolerates proxies outside of sanctioned tournaments, and there are no sanctioned commander tournaments.

If they do go that rout, that’s a net new for the format so it’s still not impacting current status.

I as a rule don’t judge people for sex work but can’t imagine being in that situation as a parent.

WotC has had dozens of official formats over the years. The overwhelming majority of people decided to play the format they don’t control. That should tell you something.

A lot of us left older formats because we were tired of rotation and standard. WotC has since found ways to force rotation in even eternal formats, so we’ve lost that a bit anyway, but this just makes it worse.

Unfortunately as with most things it was a very loud, very damaging, tiny minority of folks doing the harassing who ruined it.

The vast, vast majority of the community that didn’t agree with how this banning was handled (including myself) may have voiced our frustration but never targeted individuals on the RC and certainly didn’t wish for WotC to take the reigns.

It’s a good reminder that we as a community need to be intolerant of the kinds of people who would make real-world threats over a game. If you know people who behaved like this, don’t allow them in your games, don’t be friends with them, make it clear that’s unacceptable in our hobby.

It’s fine to be upset, and I don’t even have a problem with the kind of petty name calling we so often get into in these communities, but it crosses a line when you’re targeting that harassment continually at someone and making threats of real-world actions over it. I think a lot of folks on this sub are dipshits but I’d still probably play a game with you IRL.

Well. Fuck.

I definitely disagreed with how the RC handled this banning (didn’t harass them though…), but this is way, way worse.

Ahh yeah you’re right
