the 400 club

Destiny, like any MMORPG, has levels. The highest level is 400 (called a light level) and some of them are cool, chill, and will help you learn a raid with them if they are new or keep you in their fireteams, crucible, iron banner and trials as long as you aren't the reason they're losing despite your low KD, and they're grown ups with a strong likelihood of having sex with a woman.

The 400 Club is not these people.

The 400 Club is a collective team of assholes similar to a frat made up of overgrown boys with no siblings and trust funds. They are not only 400, but routinely do Kings Fall on heroic and will make you "try-out" for their clan before you can raid with them and will dump you the moment you ask a question or fuck up running even once. And that's the PvE behavior.

The 400 Club behaves this way because it is mostly made up of kids and some in their late teens who check guardian.gg every match and pound their chest at having a high KD like it's a good credit score while always arguing amongst themselves over who's more elite. But feel free to call them out on not getting a lot of sex with girls because they will also claim to be fucking your mom up the ass even though the dudes getting laid would only know about Destiny if you hit them with the box.

And forget about playing Trials. They check stats on guardian.gg like you're a rookie coming into the NFL draft and masturbate (if possible) over being flawless.

The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh

Utility beer 

Utility beer is the beer you keep around for the day-to-day moments when beer is a necessity to assist in pedestrian activities (golf, plumbing, yardwork, babysitting, staff meetings, Zoom calls). For the beer snob it is the beer you save for neighbors when they drop in at 3 p.m. on a Tuesday. It is differentiated from the actual high-end beer you save for special events, holidays, and special tastings.
Person 1: Dave, did you bring along those hazy craft IPA's so we could drink while cleaning Lyle's pool?
Person 2: Nope. I just have a bunch of utility beer that Steve dumped on me. Good enough for this. It is only 10:30 a.m.
