If it's true that the living costs of California require at least a $13.50/hour full time job then it makes sense that they would raise the minimum wage. Particularly when there are employers who refuse to hire full timers just so they don't have to pay benefits.

That's it Keyrock, we're doing a tour of South America. You and me buddy!

Considering that I'm Hispanic and that its mother's day it is a safe assumption that that song will play sometime today...and we'll sing along.

Another song that few people know that it's a cover

Birthday party for friends of the family; we say friends but its mostly like a second mother. Jolly good time of seeing childhood acquaintances, family and networking. I'm now filled with joy and alcohol.

There might be a joke there somewhere but the babies thing is very off-putting.

Or you could just play a Knight, the equipment makes it the most overpowered starting class. Plus the fact that DS system means that there are few viable builds for every class (Vigor is best)

Congratulations Bruce, it isn't everyone that gets a thread made in their name. Your post as Obsidan resident SJW has finally payed off. BTW, I still love you no matter what your backwards views are.

I always took issue with that bit; I know that it might been exaggerated for consistency's sake, but the fact that some people will take this as a fact bothers me. Games do that but so do the other mediums, it is just that games reveal the faults within while the other are indifferent to them. I often thought of as a comparison and argument to anyone that proposes that games have a high level of requirement to experience, to simply read a very eloquent and esoteric writing of Shakespeare and simply go at the end: "Now tell me, what the **** was that going on about?!". Because reading comprehension is a skill and not everyone that holds a book knows what its written. Maybe I'm overthinking it but I long have understood that logic and rational thought are separate from facts and knowledge and that there are too many well educated idiots.

Just out of curiosity, who decides what is acceptable within a community forums. Do the rules come down from the main company or is it left to the community manager, I guess i'm trying to fish as to whom made the decision to ban "girl" images from the forum. I wouldn't want to put you in a compromising position and I will fully understand if you dodge that question but it still makes me curious as to who decides what culture a forum will have. Well, I reported the image, so if you need someone to blame. Do we really need 'girl' images in every thread? It is pretty clear that this particular thread is not about such things. The poster actually asked if he could post images of girls, a moderator then answered and said quite clearly no, and he then proceeded to post the image anyways. That's pretty obnoxious. I'd probably go further than removing the image, hence it being a good thing I am not a mod. I'd imagine Obsidian has the ultimate say in what the forum culture will be. It is a company website. Yes but as I'm now part of a company I realize that no one in a company has any ****ing idea of what it is happening. Most of the meetings are to try and figure out what is happening and the rest is to figure out what are we going to do now that the deadline is soon and nothing is done because no one knew what was happening. Companies are a mess, so i'm just wondering whether this was an actual executive decision that came from the company or of it was a community manager or some other in betweener . I'm not expecting an answer anyways but it would be nice to know why a thread that had successfully kept itself tasteful and had several iterations was suddenly prohibited because some rainbow colored sourpuss on the other side of the internet had a hissy fit. Either way, enough time has passed and I think they forgot about the whole thing, so can we please have our ladies back?

To be honest I can understand why the women thread had criticism? It did seem to objectify women....but why do you want to look at hot women when you can chat to me ? .....I'm sorry Bruce but I don't think of you that way.

There is a mod to turn Skyrim into a summer paradise. So if you're particular about realism and want bikinis in your game, that's the way to go.

Your argument is that unless that people are directly affected by an event in a material sense they have a deep emotional reaction to it. That is quite cynical, specially considering that when Batman is patrolling the city he gets to watch all the suffering his failings have brought. A character who so strongly attached to his belief that even though he can't see a better way he refuses to give up his humanity even when he gets close to the edge. I'm sure that Bill Gates cries himself at night about the Indian children that died because of bad vaccines. There is clearly a difference in the degrees of attachment a capitalist has the ones an idealist has. Batman's ideals are central to his character. I will agree to disagree "Superman also possesses super genius-level intelligence and an eidetic memory. Average people from Krypton already had genius-level intelligence" source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powers_and_abilities_of_Superman I wonder why Superman doesn't get as much criticism for not using his intellect to solve the world's great problems. The whole point of Superman is that he isn't a human, saying that he is the ideal humanity should strive for is akin to saying we should be as good as the angels. I feel like I'm repeating myself in this part and I would ask why is that an ideal man is a better mentor than a flawed one. From the latter I can learn from their mistakes. Also there is the mention of Lex Luthor's belief that Superman through his helping humanity is sapping them of the will to greatness. My point is that his innate powers removed the possibility of any moral dilemma from his life during his formative years. He didn't have to re-examine his beliefs, he knew that he was better than everyone and he was tempered with kindness. Which is the same outlook that he has later in life. So you can't really say that he has been shaped by belief in the same way that the rest of humanity grows up and becomes wiser.

Is matter of utilitarianism vs humanism; those men you mention, I know two of them to be scum. Even so I will entertain the thought that their intent is the greater good. Batman is not about the greater good, his is to inspire fear in criminals and hope to the crestfallen. More so, Bruce Wayne has established charities and community programs to try to get Gotham back into shape. He isn't as ignorant of the causes of crime as everyone seems to think or so strict that he can't empathize with his enemies. One the his inner turmoils is the fact that he feels too much like them. Like I said before, I'm arguing from the position that capitalists are selfish and have no real obligation to the community. If your argument is that a capitalist is just someone who owns capital, then everyone who has private property is one. IIRC; Superman is affected by different types of radiation, with G type stars being the ones who empower him, plus Kryptonians are also smarter than humans. So if your point is that in an Universe without Suns he would be normal, then you're right. Our isn't that Universe. Moreover that is part of his nature as classical hero, who are divine and therefore more than human. What you argue is that he is the ideal human, what I said was that because he was born as such he can't be representative of humanity's modernist struggles. Author's intent aside, only Batman has been shaped by his belief. Superman has and always has been Superman, he merely adopted his views but wasn't shaped by them; Clark Kent was. The Renaissance was the birth of humanism, while they copied the techniques of the ancient the subject matter they embraced was different. Gone were the demigods and what took their place were normal men who accomplished great deeds, even if they had been guided by divine providence.
