  1. If it were up to me everyone pays. From $1 up to whatever. If everyone benefits from that the taxes pay, then everyone should pay. So the poor get shafted then. But then again no sales taxes, so that might offset
  2. And what's the minimum amount to be taxed like that?
  3. Grinding out WoW PvP. Good to know the playerbase is still clueless trash.
  4. Seems most of the toys don't merit the price, or at least to me alone. Noticed that when phone shopping. I kind of want a tablet I can use to more comfortably slack off at work with, but can't really project that much use to warrant the cost. Might get a laptop, buddy has a 50% discount code at Lenovo. :D
  5. I think they were pretty good about it the last time they made the proclamation. All those free DLCs for TW3 would have cost fans like $5 each from EA. Yeah, but this is cheap PR and game consumers are gullible morons. Time will pass, they can still change.
  6. I always find comments whining about people bashing someone hypocritically funny as often it's never the same people. Or at least proven. Ah, the Internet.
  7. Honestly, at this point I just silently pray that someday people can realize their dreams of creating an objectivist utopia out there on the high seas or in orbit where they can establish whatever tax policy they want to. I always remember that quote about libertarians being anarchists that want police protection from their slaves.
  8. That's socialism for you.
  9. Well looks like Mugabe might be done without ending up like Ceausescu, so that's something good. Not sure the new boss there will be any better, well maybe for China.
  10. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFeWTMiduLg Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
  11. Don't insult the Big E that way That's my wallpaper incidentally, best piece of 40k art I've seen
  12. This guy should be fired immediately for stupidity of the highest order.Why? It is part of his job, in theory, to resist illegal orders. Probably harder to palate, a first strike to kill millions than other illegal stuff that gets done like civilian deaths in operations, etc. The President is still bound by laws, he isn't an Emperor.
  13. Was amused walking home (hooray for terrible transit) watching countless people having group photos taking and bothering strangers into taking them. Part of me wondered why someone would hand their phone to some dude nearby only based on him not looking totally sketchy. Odd people in this city.
  14. Way to ruin a feel good thing. Hope you have enough tact to know not to say that in front of actual soldiers. How does that ruin a feel good thing ? Firstly it's their daughters but also they, being soldiers, know they're hard. They don't need to worry about being perceived as such. I've said as much in front of my soldier buddy and he's cool with it as it makes sense, likewise with the one who's done MMA, really.
  15. Knowing how to kill people inspires self confidence.
  16. He does have a stabbable face as well
  17. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2017/11/fccs-net-neutrality-killing-vote-on-track-for-december-14/ Net neutrality rules gone in December it seems.
  18. If it has one less than the next best, then yes
  19. Masculinity is gaming on a PC.
  20. I am sure the information that the hunt helps the species won't be bought.I have a real personal problem with hunting for reasons other than consumption. But that's me. These hunts take place in other countries in accordance with their laws. It is not the US governments business to tell citizens they can't go to a place they are welcome to do an activity that is legal. And this ban was yet another example of an intrusive nanny state sticking it's nose where it does not belong. If you want the hunts banned you really should be talking to the governments that not only allow but encourage them. As distasteful as I find the activity, free people should be left alone to pursue their interests as long as they are legal where they pursue them. Well it is part of a global effort to prevent needless killing of animals. You pressure the governments that allow this nonsense that way. What other countries do is no business of ours. A sentiment I believe I have heard you champion a time or two. Depends on what they do and is their citizens alone. This particular item is not worth draping in the flag of liberties or what have you given it's probably due to his sons going on these trip, heh.
  21. Firefox broke all the extensions with 57 or so. Annoying as NoScript doesn't work well. Quantum is pretty fast though.
  22. Wayne thought The Green Berets was a good idea, his opinion counts for little
