And recasting with an Indian actor would...remove the Indian accent?

Also, for Mr. Burns the dude voicing him must be 104 years old just like the character.

Every now and then people do succeed by their own merit, and this allows the unaware and disingenuous to point to them as examples of meritocracy. As if one out of one thousand is a majority.

It does fit Poe’s penchant for stupid plans though. That guy is amazing at failing upward.

That’s easy to say, but much harder to do. And in most cases, not really the most effective method to get rich. The most effective method is to be born rich, like basically everyone mentioned in this article.

It’s also something that could be fixed with a skin. You don’t need to make new animations with excessive hip- swaying or anything.

I certainly never heard of the game before this. I also think their excuses are bullshit, and this will make me less likely to buy the game.

I bet she doesn’t. I doubt this is the first time she’s been slapped for talking shit.

That’s a great point. They could have easily looked at post- soviet Russia for inspiration- hell they could doe that still. There were lots of people who felt things were better under the soviets, because things were more familiar, if nothing else.

While that person is right that someone younger than a Boomer is likely in charge, that rule is exactly the sort of crap Boomers made in the ‘80's and ‘90's. So yeah probably a Boomer rule.

What he said is more accurately framed as “the goals of 2020 should not be the same goals as 2008. We’ve moved past those old goals.”

I think it depends on the job,really. This appears to be a favourite question with regards to entry- level jobs that everyone involved knows that nobody actually *wants*. I would be deeply suspicious of someone who professed a strong desire to be a Wal- Mart greeter, for example.

their stock price would crater too if Tencent dumped their share.

rather large number of law enforcement are on Trump’s side. They might see “maintaining order” as synonymous with “defending Trump’s presidency”

They believe in private charity... given by someone else. Nobody who truly believes in charity should have the slightest problem with a government funded safety net. “privately funded charity” is code for “someone other than me should pay for it”.

The predictable result of telling police officers that they’re constantly under threat (despite the utter lack of evidence for this assertion). They become paranoid and empty their gun at any and all perceived threats.

That’s the big point. Speaking as a Canadian (who will most likely vote once again for the NDP, who’ve held my riding since caveman days), this sort of thing doesn’t really affect policy, as far as I can tell. And far more importantly, the Conservatives will be bad for everybody who doesn’t currently have a couple…

The thing is, you can easily do both. It’s not mutually exclusive. You can ban plastic straws and elect officials who will regulate oil companies. Anyone who claims you have to choose between them isn’t on our side.
