So much with the starring for making me laugh out loud at 6:44am. Man, I love those songs.

Someone come help promote this comment out of the grey! I can't do it, being grey myself.

I can appreciate that for some games, the story requires a fully-formed character with an established history and relationships — sometimes you can't just have a cipher in the lead slot. However, the endless march of dudebros has to stop.

Dude, go for it! Seize that dream with both hands and don't let go. Dreams are too precious.

I hear ya. 34 years old, quit my 40k/yr job last December because the boss was an asshole (like, grade-A asshole whose parents own the company...), and now I'm delivering pizzas with a bunch of young 20-somethings and wondering what the hell I'm supposed to be doing with my life.

I wonder if the photograph of the magazine isn't hurting the appearance of the cover, here. It's a photo of a (slightly crumpled) magazine, from an angle.

That is almost WORD FOR WORD the same thing I told them. High five! It's a great job, I miss it a lot.

It is. Enforcement, though, is another matter. The feds don't have the time to care about individual users. I live in WA state, and typically the feds will only go after medical dispensaries that are seriously breaking their own laws — selling green cards to people without ailments, for instance.

I just wanted to reply to say, OMG! A master control operator? I did that job years back at two different stations! Graveyard shift. ALL THE INFOMERCIALS. Oh, and Living Single reruns, which I was okay with.

I was wondering that too! I mean, the dude has $20 mil, why does he need $500,000 of other people's money?

I'm currently working at Domino's after six months of unemployment because even the lowliest job postings on Craigslist demand three years' experience and/or a degree. It's ABSURD out there right now. A hirer's market and they know it.

Mine used to herd the cat! The cat was considerably less amused by this than the rest of us were.

He looks VAMPIRIC is how he looks.

Ambien can be pretty delightful that way.

Duuude, I remember Ambien.

Thank you so much for being a clear and informative voice! I've learned a lot from your comments in this thread, easily the best value I got from clicking on the article. Thanks for taking the time to share that knowledge with us.

I sincerely hope the outpouring of sympathy, love, and support from your adoring Jezzies helps, after the abuse you've endured for having the gumption to disagree with the boys' club. SO MUCH <3, LINDY.

Or... maybe they're for the people who get them, and not for other people after all? Mine are for me, at least.

Don't forget my personal favorite, the Poor Person twist on not going because you know you can't afford the visit! That one's me.

Yes, this, and thank you! Gah. Reminded of a conversation with a very privileged friend who I suspect flat-out disbelieved me when I said I've never paid over $50 for shoes in my life. It was just beyond his ability to comprehend, utterly impossible.
