You know what, I think it was OG Oblivion and I just mixed it up with Skyrim.... It got me to quit playing the game after a while.

One of the worst game mechanics ever found in a game was where the enemy got harder as you gained levels. The same enemy. It basically defeated the value of having more levels. I think it was Oblivion ~~Skyrim~~ where I found this, particularly annoying.

Fuck that, give me a thermostat any day of the week.

Can someone steal man the other side? This isn't making sense to me.

Meh. My wife and I had kids based upon our own thoughts of how we wanted our life to go, not based upon some reproduction drive. The sex drive is a totally different thing, but there was no urge and pull to have kids for us.

We've had three kids and it's been an incredible experience with very few downsides and massive upsides. I was not a "kid person" before having kids, but IMO it's one of the peek good experiences in life.

Don't do it man. I live in the US (born and raised) and I'm uncircumcised and I've never in my life been challenged about it. There is zero reason to do it to fit in culturally. And fuck any culture that encourages you to mutilate the genitals of your child.

Don't do it.

Even if it's for your religion, let your kids decide whether they want to be circumcised at the age of 18.

I have an echo show in my kitchen. It displays ads, but they're super easy to ignore. They're just basically text pictures on the screen when it's not being used and on topics that I selected.

I'm pretty massively against ads, but the echo show's don't bother me in the least. If Alexa Plus starts giving me verbal ads or injecting them into things then it will quickly find its way into the trash can.

Anytime the girl looks like she's not actually enjoying the sex. Fake or dubbed sound. Choking or slapping (see first item).

I also usually find any talking (sexy talk) to be awful. I don't have a problem with it in concept, but in porn execution, it's almost always super bad. Camera man talking is universally bad.

My parents-in-law came from an African country where they had opinions similar to South Africa and apartheid. Basically blacks were okay but it was shameful if someone black married one of their children. They immigrated to San Francisco and lo and behold, one of their daughters started dating a black guy.

When it can't to light she was ostracized from the family by her mom. Now, she said she did this, but it was really only the parents who tried to break contact. All her siblings were perfectly fine with this and didn't break contact and in fact my wife and i supported them when they moved to the city we lived in to get resettled.

To cut to the chase, after about 5 years the mother and daughter worked things out and now every is accepting of their relationship. I took the mom a few years to get over it.

I guess my point is, I would almost just ignore this, if you're a good couple they'll get over it eventually and it'll be fine. And if not, fuck 'em.

It's good to reward good behavior too. If none of them came back then they might as well have just shrugged their shoulders and said "oh well" and left him off air.

I lived in rural Japan for 3 years... Seemed to work just fine there.

Trump world also pardon any offenders if it made it to court.

 

I see CEO's as the last working person in the system. They are at least putting in the time and effort to make money. The are "the last working man/woman" in the chain up to the owners. The real travesty is the owners who get all the money without doing any actual work.

If the CEO makes less money, do you think you'd get more? The answer is no. A company will control costs and not pay employees more than they have to. Your salary has nothing to do with the CEOs salary and at least in theory you have a chance to become CEO... more of a chance than you have of becoming an owner.

The inherited wealth, the hedge funds, the owners... they get all the return. They get all the rewords. Even my boss, who started the company I work at, he makes his money by being an owner. His salary as a CEO is pennies vs his salary owning the company. The success of the company should be shared amongst the employees who made it happen, and the truth is they aren't. That's the real kick to the nuts, not the salary of the CEO.
