So because many people enjoy something that disqualifies someone from having their own opinion about it? Doesn’t that then self-define everything as either super awesome or super terrible?

Oh, yeah, and I almost forgot. NYC EMT = ~$46k/yr.

$80k NYC, living in Queens, is ~$60k living in Philadephia, proper. still well above the national average. Especially for such a stupid easy job.

Average salary of train operator, which involves very little work (basically just push the go button and stop button): $74k/yr

What always ticked me off about XKCD is things exactly like this comic. He knows a little bit about something and explains it in a way tht is easily relatable with some “trust me” hand waving, and everythign thinks it’s great.

Fun fact:

Then move. SF and Bay Area is going to implode soon. No one can afford to live there. Plus there are tons of other beautiful and great places to live. You’ll have more disposable income at the end of the day, too.

A family of 4 making $100k/yr in SF qualifies for government assistance for housing.

Well, and I don’t even pretend to speak for black people not being one (obviously. And even if I were, I wouldn’t pretend to speak for all), I would think that, like most causes striving for lasting change, help would be accepted from many different groups. Especially from people of the group that is the most at fault…

I rechecked the article I read and it was pontificating, not saying, what she would say in this situation. My mistake.

.... she also supported this painting.

So black people do not want white people to sympathize with them or help them with calling attention to and fixing this issue?

I don’t get the controversy or protest. Not trying to be a dick, but I seriously don’t. Is it because she is white? Cuz that would be ironic.

Jeez, settle down. That had nothing to do with the artist being black. Just read the description of the piece and ask yourself if Christians would be upset about that regardless of artist. And, see: Andres Sarrano (white artist of Piss Christ that got major backlash).

...what? Dogs are part of nature.. see: Coyote, Wolf. Yeah, not the human involved breeds, but all the generally same. And putting a dog on a leash makes it even less “part of nature.” Sooo... yeah. Also, dog on leash, snakes going after him because maybe he angered them, maybe they surprised each other, whatever.…

Make this lady an Air Marshall!

Religiously motivated physical attack on multiple innocent civilians in public. But yet... not terrorism.

Nice sentiment, but doesn’t matter. Incumbents are reelected something like 95% of the time. Now look at all the congressional approval polls over the last decades and see if that matches up. Doesn’t. So as you see, none of it matters or is logical. Incumbents win.

Yes, because we ALL know that teenagers are no good at technology and would not find a workaround...

Why don’t you just make a copy of your game for him to play and ruin? Then just keep doing that with your game? That way your game stays intact and he keeps getting topped up with awesome stuff.
