It’s a bold design decision that should be applauded. The design felt strongly that the tension created by game would not be the same without it. Sure they could have gone another way and made an “easy” mode for gamers, but they didn’t.

The game was created to cater to you. That’s fine. Please don’t play it. It makes several bold design decisions and this is one of them to drive tension.

Same complaint about the Witcher 3 or no?

By orders of magnitude. . .

Depends on the state. Some states have net metering laws which require the servicing electric company to buy back at the same rate it sells until a zero bill then normally it would switch to the grid buy rate, which is way lower than the residential rate. I’m in Texas, there is no net metering requirement. All sold…

Credit card companies don’t care if you pay off your balance. Hell American Express has a card where you HAVE to pay off your balance. They collect those sweet sweet credit card transaction fees from the retailers.

I’m familiar with the laws. Passing the SAFE Act in a state like Texas would be impossible. Just like the recent abortion legislation in Texas would be impossible to pass in New York. I think my point stands. Comparing anti-abortion strategies to anti-gun strategies makes no sense. You’re left fighting it…

What you miss is that the outcome of these protests are only at the state level. Federal abortion law remains virtually unchanged since Roe v. Wade. The attacks on abortion, and they have been successful, have been at the state level.

Pretty good take. Of course this starts happening just as I’m about to start working month on/month off in Israel and I already negotiated the rate. . .

Just so we’re clear. If this man speak’s Spanish like a South Texan, then he speaks “bad Spanish”. Good lord is that the worst of all Spanish accents.

I mean, my kids go to public schools, and take advantage of the very-affordable after-care programs. Its quite likely that at least one of my 3 kids will attend a state college, which is also a government program. Should something unfortunate happen I plan on applying to unemployment and/or social security.

Yeah. Houston is a very red town. No way that it majority voted for Obama both times, had the nation’s first openly gay mayor, and majority voted for Clinton. “Thanks Obama!”

Mark my words. Their status will be permanent by the end of the six month period. There was no other way this could be completed politically. Is that fair? No, but that’s politics. The issue is now forced to be dealt with and the establishment republicans will not kick them out.

because he is both (A) a heartless dick, and (B) too much of a coward to stick up for DACA recipients and so has punted to the blame to Congress if they fail to do anything and his administration starts deporting 800,000 people who grew up here and are as American as you or I.

In the end, it doesn’t even matter.

What’s the example? If you commit a crime as a kid you can never make anything of yourself even if you serve your sentence, learn from your mistakes, and never do it again?

Obviously his crime is terrible. There are, however, lots of terrible crimes for which we need to expect people to be able to eventually make productive lives from.

From that perspective and definition of “rich”, I think I can agree with you. My goal is to achieve your definition of “rich”. You’re probably also correct that the traditional middle class will not achieve a retirement in the traditional sense.

Roth income limit is $184,000, which is the top 2.8% of earners. Basically two $90k/yr salaries.

That’s 26 years away. My $80k/year is a stretch goal. Any number of factors may completely fuck me in the next two and a half decades. I am a saver though. I choose to not spend now to have flexibility later.
