1. It is definitely my belief that digital goods can hold value. It’s still early days, but Courts in at least some jurisdictions have already ruled in that direction. (Which only stands to reason, if I pay $25 for a digital horse in WoW, then, by definition, the company has traded that horse to me for $25. And, to…

Absolutely true. But irrelevant. Their value is different. PERIOD.

You’re taking a chance at getting a good card that has significantly more value, (and in the case of anything with a secondary market, actual real cash value) than other cards. Just like in the case of a scratch off you’re taking a chance at getting a scratch off that can be redeemed for a ton of money vs one that is…

Another thing to point out, just because you know a guy is a womanizing dick doesn’t mean you know a guy is a sexually harrassing/raping dick.

Heed the mantra and never forget: Women. Have. Nothing. To. Gain. And. Everything. To Lose. By. Coming. forward.

I’m sorry, but my true self isn’t a sociopath. Yours, however, seems to be.

I’m no expert, but how is that even close? Last I checked pushing the ball with your arm is a no-go. It was a handball before even close to a goal.

“a right to privacy under the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment extended to a woman’s decision to have an abortion, but that this right must be balanced against the state’s interests in regulating abortions: protecting women’s health and protecting the potentiality of human life.”

*shrug*

And the value of the cards you get can differ wildly. a.k.a. Gambling. Your argument is like saying the lottery isn’t gambling because you get the ticket/scratch off card/whatever you purchased.

I completely agree they’re the same thing. But that doesn’t mean that loot boxes aren’t gambling, rather it means that CCG packs are.

CCG packs *are* real gambling.

Interesting. I typically order Papa Johns every weekend. ~4 weeks ago the delivery estimate was ~25 minutes, but took over an hour. Week after that it was ~30 minutes and took over an hour. Last 2 weeks the initial estimate was about an hour. (Previously it had almost been ~25 minutes and took ~25 minutes). Wonder if…

In the case of highway ramp speeds and some speed limits in general around here, it’s like the speeds are set for fully loaded 18 wheelers driving in bad weather.

Which at least means the right lane won’t be “fresh snow” whenever it’s snowing.

That’s the (funny?) part. The neighborhoods ARE instanced. There’s just a cap of 12 instances.

Thing is, the individual wards are, essentially, instanced. There’s just a hard limit of 12 of them. (IIRC the initial introduction to the system said that if the wards got full they would simply add additional ones, I wasn’t playing then though, so no idea if they did start with less and simply capped out wards at…

I didn’t say ban. I said regulated as gambling. Because it is. And there are a lot of things trading cards do to avoid running afoul of gambling laws that loot boxes rarely do.

Interesting, I used to live in Chicago. The place I worked at moved from the suburbs to downtown, and my new route included 94 to 90 to W. Ohio, which is about half of that i-90, from Harlem to exit 56b mentioned as coming in #5.

I don’t see how he comes out looking... not awful. He has knowledge a powerful director is sexually harassing aspiring actresses, and his response is to merely tell him to lay off his (at the time) girlfriend? So far with the possible exception of Matt Damon & Russel Crow (if those allegations are true) he comes out…
