In my opinion the investment angle doesn’t work if you only own your own house. The increase in value doesn’t matter because to realize it you have to sell the place you sleep at night.

This seems related to thing where they keep insisting various characters are Gay, just not in any way that matters to the story or is in fact mentioned on screen.  But trust them: Representation!

Yeah, I get having to pay the bills but talking about how Amazon is becoming a surveillance state while hawking their products is hypocritical to the point I can’t really take your site seriously.

I feel like Superior Spider is one of those plot arcs that is better as an idea than it was as executed and will be really great grist for a movie or cartoon in the future.
Much like Civil war worked *way* better in the MCU than it did as a comic. They found actual character-based motivations for the players and had it…

Wait for the vaccine that is looking good to be distributed. Sometime in the Feb-March range.
Yeah, thats months off.  Human lives are worth it

I think the reveal was that almost half the Trill could host, not the tiny percentage they were claiming.  But that is just semantics.

Yeah, taking care of your infirm Mother is not a red flag.  Living in shrine to your long-dead parents really is.

I trust same day voting way more than I trust early voting or mail in. The fact that a Right-Leaning judge has knecapped mail in voting in my state (MN) and the Republicans are suing to throw out 100K+ early votes in Texas hasn’t done much to change my mind.

I for one was fine with the Mother being dead.
Mostly I thought it was really misguided to spend multiple episodes in earlier seasons exploring why the narrator and Robin aren’t a good match and then more episodes showing them getting over each other then in the finale blowing up her relationship & going “Robin &…

In the Novel, Dr. Frankenstein is all about “creating” life from “nothing”. Like he feels it’s cheating or something if he just reanimates a dead body. He wants to piece it together from a zillion scraps. Its implied he used pig parts as well as human ones.
I mean, its a bunch of bodies instead of just one but they are…

Regarding how conservative GameFreak is:
I don’t believe they are designing these games for anyone following Pokemon as a franchise.
IMHO They feel they have figured out how to make your first Pokemon Game experience a good one and do NOT want to stray from that. This is a franchise marketed to 7-12 year olds. I…

I feel like there is a *lot* of “First couple I played were the best” in this franchise.

I remember when the fandom all agreed that X and Y were crimes against the perfection that was Gen IV and Mega-Evolution was a gimmick that didn’t make any sense. Now Sword and Shield are crimes against nature, Sun and Moon are…

Yep.  It was making a big show of how much he should leave.  It was *not* hunting him.

I have gotten to the point where I won’t buy HP printers anymore because of their software. The hardware is fine, but the software keeps trying to “help” you.
If you are just printing 8.5x11 plain paper you are fine, but if you actually try to use the extra feeder on the front to print an envelope or an 8.5x14 sheet it…

Well, that certainly is a line going up. But what does it mean?
How many copies of games are being sold per year vs how much money is coming in? How much money/game? How much did each game cost to manufacture? How much did each one cost to develop? How many players were there?
We are all here complaining about how much…

$70 in 1995 is equal to about $119.50 today. If you actually charged $119.50 for a AAA game people would lose their minds, but if you charge $70 and try to get the rest of the money in the form of season pass, DLC, Microtransactions, lootboxes, tickets, ect you probably end up in a similar place.

I suspect all the…

No.

If the value of money drops but prices stay the same everything is getting cheaper.

Lets say I am willing to trade you a game for 10 pieces of cake. We do so.
Tomorrow, you cut all the pieces of cake thinner. There is now 1/2 less “stuff” in each piece of cake. But I’m still willing to trade you 1 game for 10 pieces.
…

This is how I remember them as well. Here in Minnesota around 1988-92 there were several Pizza Huts with buffets.

My high school job in Suburban Minneapolis around 1990-93 was a KFC with it’s own buffet. There was all the standard fare: original & crispy chicken, bbq dipped chicken, biscuits, cole slaw, mashed potatoes, potato salad, etc. There was also this weird vanilla pudding that we didn’t normally sell but was just for the…

There was a whole chain called “RAX” in the late 80s that was all about their buffets. They had this pasta/mexican/salad bar in all their locations. They were also the first fast food joint I remember being in that had “greenhouse” style windows in the dining area.
