2 big slices of grats to Mr. Rick on the Paparuai and Stompurai :hail:
Grats to Miss Ina and Jon on the attempts
I have run into a clusterfuk with my chars. They got too close to the same lvl and didn't feel like switching basicly the same gear around. Not much gear difference for me between 35-55 so I just decided to get the 56 to mq ( I'm working on it anyway...) and then I'll worry about separating the rest. 35 dagger to 50/40 armor to 55/ 35 charm to 55. Kinda hard to spread that out with a 2x 35s and a 64.....

I have discovered something IRL that has me fairly disturbed to put it extremely nicely. I was discussing my water bill with someone at the company and I asked them what a certain charge was for and why I was getting charged so much. He explained that it was for the gutter system and water run off. Really? I have to pay to maintain the sewer line in the road? Really? He siad " Actually that is for the rain." I said wtf are you talking about the rain???" I have to pay for rain?!?!? " He said " Yessir you do. In fact you get charged for rain when it isn't raining." You have NO fricking idea how badly I wanted to start cutting peoples heads off. I have to pay for rain. Even when it isn't raining. I said " God doesn't charge me for it how the fuck can you????? I might could possibly understand if YOU were providing it but you aren't. So how the fck can u charge me for rain???? ESPECIALLY when it ISN"T raining?????" He said "Well sir it all has to do with the size of your roof and and your drive way and any concrete pad ( like a patio) you have. The water that runs off of your roof and what falls in your driveway and on your patio has to be cleaned." I said "So your trying to fricking tell me that the fricking water that lands on just the fricking ground isn't fricking dirty????????" He said " That is correct sir" ( In all honesty I gave him royal hell as I am sure you all could guess and he handled it like a champ- props to him for that.). I said " So the only fricking dirty water is what comes off of my roof is dirty???What fricking kind of shit is that??? I don't even have a fricking driveway and I have a 10x10 concrete patio in the back yard. Are you fricking kidding me???????" " No sir, I'm not" Are you telling me that if we were in the middle of a fricking drought I would still be getting charged?????" "Yes sir, that is correct." I said that is just total fricking bs. That is just fricking wrong. I am getting fricking fucked hard and dry." They charge me for recycling as well. I have NEVER used them for that. I do my own recycling. Fricking sockcucking ass clown fothermuckers. I am in such a fricking rage over this.... I found this out about a week ago and my blood pressure still hasn't gone down. I am still throwing and kicking shit. It's the city. Not a private company. Fricking penis suckers. I get charged double for flushing my toilet. If I use 5 gallons of water to flush it costs me 2x as much as using 5 gallons of water in the sink. Just how the fuck can they tell????
What am I going to do? refuse to pay it? Sure... all they can do is cut my shit off.... Fucking communist bastards. Fucking tyrants. I am willing to bet that 90% of the people here don't realize what they are getting charged for and why. I only know because my bill was almost triple for one month and I started asking questions. Like most people, you get the bill and pay it and not think anything about it unless something strange is going on. I would say it was strange to get charged almost 3x the usual for 1 month. It's usually around 60 bucks a month. That one was 160. Yes. I am fairly disturbed.

You are welcome.
Yeah, isn't greed and corruption just lovely?
You're right, not many people are aware about MANY aspects of the way things work.
My d2jsp-username applies to more than just the obvious.
I refrain from talking about any politics and anything revolving around that nature...because D2jsp in full of morons. (not everyone ofc, but I'm sure you know what I'm getting at).
So I don;t even bother using this platform to express my views about all that. That's what I use Facebook for. Lol. Also have a personal website in the works as well.
But yeah, I can totally understand your frustration. The way most of this world and society operates in so fricking backwards, it's beyond ridiculous. But not many people pay attention, are aware, or they just remain ignorant, blindfolded, and brainwashed.
I'll stop here because I will and am able to ramble on and turn this into a novel or seven. Which is why I don't post this crap on d2jsp.

Well james for the city we pay sewerr and garbich rights like togheter a 400 euro a year.
this is payed to the city and incl sewers - toilet trashcans once a week plastic etc.
the water company charges us with the ammount of water we use + a sall ammount like 5 euro's a month the use of the waterpipes/lines
so we me and sabine pay like 40 euro's a months for water another 100 euro's for power and gas (water and power/gas are 2 diff company's)
and to our city 400 euro a year for use of toilet trash and all that kind of stuff
but making u pay for rain water i believe is illegal no matter what state or country u live in.
Maybe in Europe it's not, Jos, but here in the States, it's the opposite. Actually there are many states/counties were collecting rainwater is illegal.
Where there is money to be earned, greed will follow.
