The metric has nothing do with earnings.

I live in a place where housing prices rise 17% a year & a rundown 1950's-era shack is at minimum $650,000. I’m insanely wealthy because my old, falling apart 850 sq. ft. place could go for half-a-million on the market, though I’d never move because where the fuck could I go? I’m just waiting until property tax makes…

TIL I am greedy for trying to buy a house in an area where the minimum price is $650,000 for a rundown 1950s shack & rises 17% a year. If I was a more charitable person of color, I’d be content letting my family stay in the 850 sq. ft. place we’re currently in.

Holy shit. That Dhalsim...

Now if you want to snatch something from an apparent conservative and/or minority...

I find it funny how so-called liberals here are starting to sound just like the conservative Internet crowd they are so against.

Goddamn you. Stop facting!

On top of large, one-time cash bonuses (tax-free I think), housing, food, medical care, & education. Plus the Army lets you pick your job prior to signing, as long as your ASVAB score is high enough & there is a job opening.

So the US lost then?

OR, as plenty of my Southern friends & family did, join the military as a way to get education & job experience and perhaps, for the only time in their lives, live in Europe, Japan, or Korea.

The American government is great at spending money, period. If it wasn’t so wasteful, it’d be able to make that $4 trillion yearly budget go further.

We should rely on any U.S. politician to save us?

Such hyperbole.

So what do you suggest? Killing them? Imprisoning them en masse?

For many state elections, registrants aren’t required to provide proof of citizenship. I’m very happy that, for systems that operate “under an honor system”, people in America are incredibly honest. Well, besides the 1-3% of the jury pool in U.S. District Court who have to be dismissed as being non-citizens... but…

PM: <lightly knocks on door> Hey, guys! Sorry to bother you four again, but management asked me how long it would take for us to switch our backend from AWS to Azure. I committed us to two weeks to give us some padding. Let me know if you need a few days more. See ya later at the quad-weekly status review!”

:o I stand corrected.

“It just works.”

Exactly. I hate when people assume it’s oh-so-easy to code something up. It depends on the code base, first of all, and even with clean, elegant engines usually involves a lot more work than they’d assumed.

They STILL don’t support TrackIR. Literally unplayable.
