We could just build + buy smaller housing.

To play off someone else's response, "This is what happens when you build using centimeters instead of inches".

Because voting the main two is really rewarding and not a waste at all. I can't even wrap my brain around the concept of voting R or D not being a waste.

I wasn't proud of my play, but it was functional. I really need to expand my unit repertoire. Which I was practicing today. I normally go heavy Gunslingers with some light artillery as follow up. This works great against AIs. . . However, people are smarter and would focus my T2 units then clean up....

3) Eve Online - leading 100s of people in fleets, capturing objectives, alarm clocking raids. This was like another job for a few years. I agree. Society hasn't really caught up yet with video games and understanding how they can develop real marketable skills. I feel like my years as GM of TKV in ...

oh noes. These people should be doing something other than trying to raise a family with a no skill low paying job made for high schoolers. oh noes. I have no skills, never did anything to better myself so I can contribute to society and now I'm poor! Bail me out government! Make these people pay mo...

Why aren't women's sports watched? When watching the games, you don't really notice they are playing at a lower level, because they are all playing at that level. So you just see a competitive game. I don't watch women's sports, because I don't watch sports. What's your excuse reason? And why were t...

I HATED school (not a student). College did nothing for me. My smartest move was taking a programming job that exposed me to networking. I thought networking was cool, and that's what I got my certs in. The week I got my cert, I had multiple job offers. I took 7 3-5 day courses and started a career....

I don't see how showing me a price that went up because of wages is you showing how prices didn't go up because of wages.

Has anyone ever asked them "Where is this money supposed to come from?"

And if so, what was their answer?

I'm actually referring to the 10's of thousands I spent on classes that I didn't need. Counselor: What do you want to be when you grow up? Me: I don't know. I just want to take general stuff right now that will apply to everything. Counselor: Ok. But what do you think you want to do? Me: I'm really ...

Have you ever shown how this cost ISN'T passed on to the people who just got the raise? Just like fast food in CA, that cost immediately raised prices. It's not like the owners said "Oh well. I guess I make less money now."

Yeah, that's pretty stupid Also, I'm with you about saddling students with massive debt is dumb, but this is all a government created problem. Well, not all. It was also helped along by bullshit demands for a college degree for every position. And colleges selling shit that is worthless and/or not ...

Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he would not sign a federal abortion ban if one reached his desk were he to be elected in November. It’s Trump’s firmest response to date on a national abortion ban. He has simultaneously claimed credit for appointing the Supreme Court justices who he...

I also liked this one. Not as . . . theme-ey as the other one, but a good story. Again, murder, death, kill, but more story than that. I got serious Dexter vibes from it. Because you're seeing everything from the killers perspective. I liked the monologue near the end when roll playing talking to Ho...

I was.

Congrats!

When you spearfish, do you catch and release or do you keep 'em?

Wait a minute. . . 'we'? Who's this mystery 'partner' you're buying a house with!?

Well, ya. That show is toxic as fuck.

As far as the idiot that was speaking, I blame youtube. Youtube has the ability to make some people smarter (TONS of educational stuff out there that is legit), but others more stupid. Her feed is obviously filled with the later.

My first thought was, it would drive house prices down. Almost a crash scenario. It WOULD push people out of their homes, so they have to find a cheaper one, but ALL houses are too expensive, so no one can buy them, prices start going down? But then, would it cause a massive downsizing shift? Everyo...

I'm with Catt on this one. One person is grossly ignorant, and two others are trying to correct her as fast as they can, on all three of her points.

So to me, the hosts on the show are trying to correct one host that believes a bunch of weird shit.
