The debate was a shit show.
Both candidates belong in a nursing home and no where near public life. One looks like they're hardly awake the other can't form a sentence that makes any sense.
"May you live in interesting times" eh?
Naw, it made some kinda sense for a while but the writers really jumped the shark in the past decade.
Streaming is just cable
I think most people expected Trump to be a blathering insane idiot and so when he avoids questions to rant about something nonsequitor and bizarre its "normal". Anyone with all their mental faculties should be able to run circles around someone like Trump.
People are disappointed that Biden is in such shambles as they were hoping he'd be able to debate against a brain-worm ridden bigoted chatterbox and he dropped the ball so fucking bad and now they're worried about the future of democracy in the country
I'll save you a click, the game was ArcheAge and the article doesn't go into detail about their dispute, but does mention that they flew from Newark NJ to Jacksonville FL to try and attack em.
The response that it's too hard has been weird to me. I'm not very good at these sorts of games but it hasn't been terribly tricky compared to other parts of the base game. And I'm having a lot of fun with it.
I do think the advice of taking advantage of the balancing mechanics they literally put in the DLC to make it challenging and help mitigate that is solid.
I think the Dark Souls games have kinda earned an undue reputation for being unapproachably hard. They're really not all that tricky once you learn that death isn't a huge loss condition, just a step in the journey. I initially found them frustrating, but once I learned to not be bothered by dying and simply try again, I found an immense joy in exploring the worlds and challenges within.
Some bosses I beat first try, others will take me an afternoon or a few days to beat, but I have fun with it either way. Different strokes for different folks and all that, but I think Dark Souls and it's like are good lessons on how to get over feeling bad about "losing" and just enjoy the game.
Plus, you can always explore areas to gather up whatever you need to level up and slowly get marginally stronger as you become more familiar with your character and tweak it to your liking.
I'll believe the economics are better when I'm not paying markedly more for everything in my life and my salary increases.
The politicians are so wildly out of touch with the citizens.
This idea that the data is "mistrusted" or "unseen" is ridiculous to the point of incredulity. I don't care what the data says, I know what my lived experiences are and everything is getting wildly more expensive except my labor, it seems. Show me any study you want, it won't change that groceries are 30%+ more expensive, my rent keeps going up, restaurants and bars have gotten nearly 50% or more pricier and my wage hasn't grown to match.
Sorry Google.
I'm gonna use YouTube ad free or I won't use it.
And I ain't gonna pay for it.
7zip is also free and doesn't hassle you, for what it's worth.
Surely this will be challenged, and I'm not optimistic about the federal Supreme Court maintaining the same decision, but, fuck, would that be nice.
Remember paid text messaging? That lasted longer in other parts of the world than it did in the US and WhatsApp circumvented that. Also, WhatsApp allowed audio calls to long distance numbers over wifi or data, not the pricy long distance call charge.
From what I can tell, that's largely it.
This alliance allows the US to maintain a stronger foothold in the Middle East and exert hegemonic power via proxy.
This isn't the only reason, of course, but it's part of it.
I've been here before and while I don't wanna take the time to write an entire guide, the short of it is you need to fucking hustle and start now.
As of now you are a goddamn sales agent. Your product is yourself. Always Be Closing and No Means Next are your new mantras. Don't be afraid to stretch the truth if it means you live another day. Your life is about to be very different and difficult. You are now a pariah. People will not see you as a human being. Get used to that fast and this'll be easier.
You need to find a place to sleep and get food, that's paramount. You need to find a way to keep groomed and clean, people are fucking assholes to dirty humans. You need to find a way to clean your clothes, too, because people view you as subhuman if you can't wash your clothes once a week.
Go to a church. Make up a slightly more tragic back story. Get good at this. People are gonna wanna hear your tale and its gotta mostly conform with their preconceived notions about you but should defy them only in one part or another. They're gonna be demeaning as shit to you while pretending to be nice, be ready for that and play into it. They love that shit. Be ready to switch churches once the congregation gets bored of helping you, which they will. Christian denominations will probably give you the most in the onset, but also they actually give the fewest shits. Mosques and Hindu temples will give you the best foods, but YMMV on how much assistance they'll provide.
If you can meet and talk with a Rabbi, this is the best option. No one helped me more directly and honestly than the Rabbim I met on this journey. Everyone else gave what they thought was the Platonic ideal of aid. The Rabbi would listen and try to help like a real friend.
Keep clean. It's so important for getting a job and recognized as human in society, it's so wildly important.
You wanna find suits and "nicer" clothes at thrift stores. Don't worry if they fit poorly, a shitty suit and tie makes you more human in the eyes of society than a ratty t shirt.
Apply to min wage jobs like mad. You can use the church as an address. That'll mostly fly, but also when you tell the pastor you almost had a job but they needed a physical address, they'll more than likely tell you to use theirs. Look for places that'll pay in cash, i.e. aren't big brand businesses. Retail is mostly big corporations now, don't discount them entirely, but focus on small business shops like pizzerias or delis. Someplace that isn't gonna have some binder of SOPs or corporate oversight. Food places are great because they usually have left over shit you can ask to take home. Anything going into the trash, that can be yours.
Once you get a lil bit of money, hoard it. Don't let anyone know you got cash. You want a car or some other way to travel longer distances so in case things go tits up, you can bail. A $10 a month gym membership gives you a shower and place to shave. Burner phones let you keep in touch and network when you can't use the computers at the library. Dunno if it still works, but I got a lil cash going doing retail arbitrage via Craigslist and Facebook. Do all your exchanges at a police station. Unless you "look homeless", then the pigs will harass you. Do it at a Walmart lot with lots of cameras during the day. Don't get into the drug trade unless you know what you're doing, you'll get hurt and bad.
Speaking of substances, don't turn to drugs. They're too expensive to really help anything. Booze, though, can be useful in small amounts. It's extremely calorie dense, and a buzz is nice, but 1) you're gonna need your wits at all fucking times, 2) no one respects an unhoused drunk
Shoplifting is easy. But don't do it as your main way to acquire things, do it while buying other stuff to stretch your dollar. Your legitimate purchase is your ticket into the store. Be smart. Look for cameras and employee eyes. Take small things to practice.
High calorie food sources are great when you can't get much food. So is stuff you can keep in your mouth a long time, helps keep hunger away. Chew jerky was a personal favorite. Bags of nuts are good, too, but be wicked mindful of salt intake and make sure to drink lots of water. Many libraries and parks will have water fountains of some kind.
Convenience store hot dogs are great. They're cheap and you can abuse the toppings for extra food. Do this when they're busy so they don't see you loading the box with relish and tomatoes. You can also buy chips and pour the pump chili and cheese over em if no one is watching you.
Come up with stories to tell pigs as to why you're sleeping outside (got kicked outta home if you're young, spouce kicked me out if you're older, etc). If you get caught, don't sleep there again for a few weeks. Especially if you're sleeping in your car, the pigs will take it from you, they are monsters, never ever trust them.
Now do American companies and institutions
Don't really matter until he stops sending them bombs and billions tho innit
Converting to Judaism isn't as simple as it is to convert to Christianity.
It will take years of study and effort.
That aside, the govt of Israel will not "offer" you a chance for a Birthright trip. You have to apply for it and demonstrate you meet the requirements. I don't see why you wouldn't qualify, but the Israeli govt is rather close minded about these things. (EDIT: Someone else in the thread has said Birthright Israel accepts converts explicitly, so you should be good here)
THAT aside, don't go to Israel, don't give them any money. What they're doing right now is absolutely monstrous and it's morally inexcusable to support them.
It's news when the democrats say there's no appropriate time to critique democrats
I'm easily fooled into productivity with a median wage that adjusts with inflation and quantified growth goals.
Does that count as a titty fuck?
"Security", haha yeah right
Badgers are so cool and cute for something so wildly mean.
Love you, badger!! Continue to build multi-chamber dens nearly 300 ft long that are shared by multiple species, including ones who predate your young and vice versa, you crazy insane adorable lil guy.
How tf this rapist outta jail
Yo ngl I cannot care one iota about the S&P 500 when food costs nearly double what it did before the pandemic and rents are skyrocketing.
Speak for yourself, I'm an absolute treasure.
It's a small economic quirk, but I imagine many Cubans would be selling their old American cars to collectors State-side for a quick cash influx.
And Americans would be eager to travel to Cuba for tropical tourism. That feels like a longer lasting economic change.
Of course there'd be a bubble market on Cuban cigars that would arise, climb, then settle as the demand declines as the idea of a Cuban cigar becomes more normalized.
I've heard Cuba has some novel treatments for lung cancer. I imagine there'd be a market for medical tourism that would emerge from that, as I sincerely doubt the FDA would evaluate and approve a foreign treatment created under a Communist government with any haste.
The DNC doesn't give a fuck about the Democratic voters as long as they keep voting for their selected candidates
Cruelty is the point, my friend. The sooner you realize that, the more sense it makes
Seize their assets, distribute them amongst those who need them, persecute and punish them for the atrocities their greed has wrought.
The Pope and the Church aren't friendly to the LGBT community?
Color me shocked!
Pigs is pigs, buddy.
You gotta play along unless you wanna start shit. And pigs being pigs means you can't really start telling them what they're doing is inappropriate or unnecessary, that puts em in fight or flight mode and pigs don't fly.
I'd guess your best bet would be that they get used to you and become nonchalant with their check-ins. Just be stupid friendly about the whole thing and maybe try to remember a few of their names. If it's a small town, can't be too many of em. Eventually maybe you can shift it from "Good afternoon, Officer, what seems to be the problem?" to "Ah hey Steve, Mrs. Granger worried about me again? Aint that sweet, how's the kids?"
Edit: I see elsewhere in the thread you mentioned you're living in the van. That makes things harder. Even if you're complying with the law, pigs hate that shit. When I was living in a car, I had a sob story ready for any cop that interrogated me and if I got caught and had to use it, I wasn't sleeping in that county again for another month. The campground bit is especially fucking frustrating, you PAID to be there, that's all on the up and up. They're monsters, buddy, not sure how to help, but I find being some caricature outta some 50's PSA film to em pads their egos and smooths interactions in general. Tho the shoddy van won't help.
After playing Starfield, I, uh, wouldn't be chomping at the bit to hire their lead quest designer.
It's the oils in your home it's fulla oils
Hey Googoo, I ain't gonna watch YouTube if it got ads
Real skeptical about the government collecting data on minority groups of any kind, especially when connected with address and other identifying information.
I understand the government needs that data appropriately assigned resources to assist those groups, but that assumes that government will solely act benevolently towards those groups and I am not so trusting about that.
You have weak teeth. My teeth could crush your teeth and still be hungry for other teeth.
Nice!
I'm less concerned about how these are deployed against soldiers as I am about how they're being provided to police departments as they are in the US.
Oh my God to be in a situation where a $.70 charge at the hospital feels egregious I fucking wish. I have insurance and I had to pay a doctor hundreds for them to tell me the tendinitis in my wrist was caused by the two cigarettes I smoked at a party a month and a half ago. I hate it here y'all
