$1,000,000 net worth these days isn’t rich considering you need that much in a retirement account to be able to last 30 years at $40,000 a year. The people you listed will be the ones choosing which side they fight on much like the middle class of the French Revolution, mostly because they are the current middle class…

This is an honest question, are bikes not a viable option for a 15 mile commute in LA? I live in Oregon so I know people that ride 25+ miles into work from February to November however, it is Oregon so people are a bit crazy here.

If it actually makes money you likely dont have to worry about it closing and it is likely a nice store. There were other stores that were not well maintained though. The one where I live in Oregon consistently had a quarter of the lights dead, there was merchandise strewn about the floor, and everything was dirty…

Rule of thumb these days is if you are spending more than $1000 build your own. Anything under $1000 you can get cheaper pre-built. This fluctuates with market price.

Minimum wage is not fair. When rent is $1000 a month and you make $7.25 an hour it is time for people to make more per hour. I had this conversation with my parents and when I showed them my financials they were dumbstruck with how much shit costs. To put it in perspective they have owned their home for 15 years and…

No it all a plot. You give someone 2 choices the one you want and one they would never choose. That is what is happening here.

That’s just it, you will never have a choice. Your local area provider has to go through Comcast or Verizon or one of the other Tier 1 providers to be able to reach the internet in other parts of the country. So unless Google Fiber finishes running its backbone across the rest of the country you will never have a…

NO just no. We have a problem with racism and law enforcement in this country but our police force evolved from the Constabulary as we were a British colony. Law enforcement was infiltrated by racism not designed by it.

I know it is HR’s job to protect the company not the employee but wouldn’t it be a better idea to protect the company by firing the person who is sexually harassing someone? Having that person gone makes for a better, less stressful work environment which in turn improves worker efficiency. Doing what they did does…

If this works the same way as other reservations tribal police have an agreement with other local departments to provide support. If they defend their sovereignty as vigorously as some tribes do this wont go to a state court and will be handled by tribal court.

I feel there may be 2 meanings to “I don’t see color.” The first is the one described above. The second is meaning you don’t make snap judgments about someone when you first meet them based on skin color. The problem I pose here is to paraphrase Martin Luther King Jr.’s “judge someone not by the color of their skin,…

I live in Oregon and your co-worker wasn’t getting stares because people are racist. It is because the population of black people in Oregon is extremely low. This is due to the state’s super-racist history that I will not get into.

I do wonder if people like Arpaio truly believe their bullshit only because they have been professing it for so long.

Why can’t people understand that it depends on the height of the mount. If the mount is above elbow height you go over the back as it is easier to tear with one hand. If is below elbow height you go over the top for easier access as well as the above reason.

I always thought the “I have a good job, car, and home.” thing was more like a wacky-waving-inflatable-arm-flailing tubeman. It catches your eye but you sure as hell aren’t going to decide where to shop because of it.

Now I have several non-troll questions. Seeing as the man is Swedish does the n-word have the same connotation there as it does here? If someone isn’t raised with insults like that can they fully understand how bad they are? Should we be cutting him some slack on this one instance due to cultural and linguistic…

Alright if we are going to get into a discussion on aliments in D&D this guy is Lawful Neutral. He called the cops because the law applies to all no matter the situation. Dude is an ass for sure but it isn’t evil. 

I agree. Most dating profile pics are people in a social setting and unless I am sitting down to eat or in a friends house the hat stays on because I dont want to lose it. Granted I shave my head because I dont want a Jason Alexander hairline at 28.

Posting this here. Classic Vaan sucks.

Look at the cute Danger Noodle.
