heaven and hell \ pleasure and pain are dichotomies, neither existing without one another

drama implies dwelling in both if one is too appreciate either

It may seem so but since unethical behavior is self-defeating, it's only a matter of time before these corrupt enterprises fail, usually they rot from within and become parasitic ridden until they collapse. This cycle repeats until the parasitic infestation has peaked and destroyed yet another economy; which working people will then need to rebuild once again. The next economy will almost certainly be different than this one as it will exist in a world in decline, not growth.

yes they are since they, the serious gamers, are the very people willing to pay for performance, most people play on consoles and those games are optimized and look at how few developers incorporate heavy use of raytracing, it's all still throttled for performance sake, even by game developers

sorry, but ray tracing is still just for show, sadly, and for many people still unaffordable

Ray tracing is generally not useful for competitive gaming and is in fact a disadvantage.

1. Performance Impact: Ray tracing is very demanding on hardware, significantly lowering FPS. In competitive gaming, high FPS and low input lag are crucial.
2. No Competitive Advantage: Ray tracing mainly enhances visuals like lighting, shadows, and reflections, which don’t provide any real tactical edge.
3. Increased Latency: Lower FPS and higher rendering times can lead to increased input lag, which is a major issue in fast-paced games.
4. Most Pros Disable It: Almost all e-sports players turn off ray tracing and other heavy effects to maximize performance.

When Might Ray Tracing Be Useful?
- In single-player or casual gaming where immersion and realism matter.
- If you have a top-tier GPU (RTX 4080/4090, RX 7900 XTX, etc.) and can still maintain 240+ FPS in e-sports titles.
- Some games (like Battlefield and Cyberpunk 2077) may offer better visibility with ray-traced lighting, but the trade-off in FPS usually isn’t worth it.

Conclusion: For competitive gaming, turn ray tracing off and prioritize higher FPS, lower latency, and a less laggy experience.

you keep resorting to personal attacks, carry on doing so

the reality is we don't see much raytracing in gaming, there's no end of benchmarks that show the performance loss, people have been claing ray tracing has been oversold for years and it's still mostly hype, sure, rich people can afford top shelf stuff but that's a small segment of the market, most people play on hardware that struggles with raytracing in most games

the reality is speed costs and not everyone can afford to play, hardly a level playing field, classism has infected our technology

of course, the privileged need to deny they're privileged since they need to believe their privilege is the result of merit, of course the flip side of that self-serving argument is that the poor must deserve to be poor

as if entitlement takes talent or effort, that rich people deserve to be rich is the real lie that selfish people tell themselves

If you weren't hurt by my truth, you wouldn't be trolling me, now would you?

Classism is deeply ingrained in American society and is one of the most significant barriers to economic mobility, social cohesion, and overall national progress. It manifests in several key areas:

1. Economic Inequality and Stagnation
The gap between the wealthy and the working class has widened dramatically. Wages for the middle and lower classes have stagnated while corporate profits and executive salaries soar. The cost of living—especially housing, healthcare, and education—has risen far faster than wages, trapping millions in a cycle of poverty or near-poverty with little hope of advancement.

2. Education Disparities
Public education funding is tied to local property taxes, meaning schools in wealthier areas receive more funding than those in poorer areas. This creates a vicious cycle where children from low-income families receive an inferior education, limiting their future opportunities. Elite universities favor wealthy applicants through legacy admissions, expensive preparatory programs, and connections, further reinforcing class divisions.

3. Healthcare Access and Outcome
The U.S. healthcare system is notoriously expensive, and many low-income individuals cannot afford adequate care. Those with money receive high-quality treatment, while the working class and poor face medical debt, lack of preventative care, and shorter life expectancies. This keeps many people in a state of economic precarity, where a single illness can lead to financial ruin.
4. The Criminal Justice System
Classism is deeply embedded in the legal system. Wealthier individuals can afford top-tier legal representation, while the poor are often stuck with overburdened public defenders. Cash bail disproportionately punishes the poor, who may remain jailed for months without a trial simply because they cannot afford bail. The prison-industrial complex thrives on exploiting low-income individuals, further entrenching economic disparities.

5. Job Market Discrimination and Exploitation
Many well-paying jobs require degrees, internships, and networking opportunities that are often inaccessible to lower-class individuals. Meanwhile, working-class jobs—often the backbone of the economy—are undervalued and underpaid, with fewer benefits and little job security. Employers frequently exploit low-wage workers, knowing they have fewer options and less bargaining power.

6. Housing and Gentrification
Affordable housing is becoming scarce as wealthier investors drive up prices in urban areas, forcing lower-income residents out through gentrification. Homelessness is increasing, and millions of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, one rent hike away from eviction.

7. Political Influence and Representation
Money plays an enormous role in American politics, giving the wealthy disproportionate influence through campaign donations, lobbying, and corporate-backed politicians. Policies that could help lower-income individuals—such as universal healthcare, affordable housing, or student debt relief—are often blocked or weakened by those protecting their financial interests.

8. The Psychological Toll
Classism reinforces a culture of shame around poverty, creating the false narrative that financial struggle is due to personal failure rather than systemic issues. This leads to despair, social alienation, and worsening mental health for millions.

Conclusion
Classism is not just an economic issue—it is a fundamental threat to democracy, social mobility, and national stability. Without major reforms to education, healthcare, wages, and taxation, class divisions will continue to widen, leading to further unrest and societal decline. America’s potential is being crippled by a system that prioritizes the wealthy at the expense of the majority.

the more you troll me, the more you help me, thanks

Left versus right is just divide and conquer while all our political parties are owned and controlled by upper class influences based on campaign contributions and political lobbying.

the upper class buys both parties, many Americans don't vote for the same party every time, nor do we identify as republican or democrat, we vote on issues and for or against candidates, only narrow minded people support one party regardless

big media, all the Hollywood studios, and Big Business in general are all owned and controlled by upper class people, obviously

America was built on immigration and by immigrants
Inflation is built into a fiat currency and we can thank Nixon for debasing the US dollar
Working class people are severely undercapitalized as the rich hoard all our capital
the upper class are the ones doing all the looting, all the pillaging and all the plundering
A corrupt economy is based on economic exploitation of which inflation plays just one part
Critical Legal theory and Critical race theory are false flags waved by fundamentalists' who don't get what critical really means
Red baiting is abusive, especially in this day and age
this isn't capitalism, we can't have capitalism when 85% of all our capital is owned and controlled by the upper class, that only leaves 15% of all capital for the rest of us, it's not enough, as we are undercapitalized, as in economic wage slavery

and people like you are encouraging and allowing this classism to continue, some slaves welcome slavery because it's put them slightly above others

many people have fought and died for the freedoms you are squandering because of greed and selfishness not to mention irresponsibility

there's nothing conservative, nor ethical about greed

no one really uses Ray Tracing, they turn it off, DLSS is all about performance and FPS, if you were a gamer, you'd know that

serious question, were you raised to be insulting and abusive in public or did you come up with that all on your own?

your need to be verbally abusive speaks volumes about you

creating hell on earth is what classism and greed are all about, if there is a way to get into hell, it's by being a greedy selfish classist person wrecking everything for everybody

the problem is the government has let the developers corrupt the government

4070 ti and yes, I run at 240, all my squaddies do too, it's just the way we competitive gamers roll, FPS is what we pay for, performance is victory,
raytracing is used strictly for upscaling, post processing and vid production when it's used at all, we're really not here for the eye candy

no one is talking abandoning industrialization, typical strawman argument, industrialization needs to be ethical and sustainable, doesn't it? obviously unethical industrialization benefits only the industrialist at the expense of the rest of us, hardly the basis for a sound economy, ethics are foundational, if we want a decent society, we need to do business ethically, don't we, or are ethics only for poor people?

we're really not talking about industrialization, what we're really talking about here are lies and exploitation, all this is just classism and greed

we real conservatives live conservatively, we live honestly and we live ethically

The role of a CEO is stewardship. They are supposed to be the 'Captains Of Industry', aren't they? Would you sail on a ship run by a crook? Well, would you? Because you are. Just saying.
