  1. So apparently the poetry slam bot is real. They have the ai trying to figure out who the zodiac killer is, but it also does poems on the side. One of my fav parts of the hbs shadowruns can become a reality. Lmfao!
  2. I have no problem and DO believe they should get paid of course. How MUCH and WHERE (my paycheck, buying anything, and owning house/vehicle/business) they get thier money is what I have a problem with.Tbh I rather someone look at a career in the govt as a way to make a change instead of it being a very profitable career. What would happen if most spots (besides military) be very limited in how long and often same person could fill it? Ex. Senator could only be one for 4 years then have to step down and do something else? Granted that could have been doable I'd say 10 years ago, now it doesn't seem to be more likely with how entrenched the govt is in everything. Until our house of cards collapse under it's own weight and/or hear the Chinese bill collector knocking on the door rdy for us to pay up.....
  3. Agreed, but I also think a good chunk of our masses and masses of problems is because of the govt in the first place simply because alot of people with law degrees are passing laws and practices and regulations on things they know nothing about. Like our health care insurance mandate, Did anyone who started it or worked on it have any idea about economics or even health care in general? Alas that's another rant all together.
  4. Usually people die when they seriously try don't they?That was given for Ben's example and I said how I would be okay with that. I'm totally for restricting people pay and capping it, we don't need people who sole job is to continue being with the govt besides judges. Senators and whatnot I believe should be on the same restriction like presidents in only serving so many terms then cut off and can't. I mean this is people who make their money taking everyone's money, at least with businesses u get something back. That bolded bit is a nice joke. I often feel government bashing Americans should read up on their own country's history. Or perhaps recent news. American corporations have always been the main actor when screwing over the American population, even if often the tool of that exploitation was the government itself. Once upon of time, one of those corporate guys was even elected president. Big success. Huge. It's like Unions, when u need them they are Great!....but when u don't need them and/or the reason for them is fixed or solved, they still there and now are part of the problem and not the solution. Same thing.

  6. Getting a tattoo that's paid in Tic Tacs.seems to me like a risky proposition. Wasn't the 85% number applicable only above 1 million bucks? What's wrong with that? Lmao I'm down with over 1 million IF like I said any person who has at any time been a govt representative (mayor/governor/president/IRS/etc) has 85% of anything they own of value goes to the people straight down middle without going to ANY charity OR organization tax free. Basically every 3 months, American citizens get a check in the mail of any govt officials who have died. So your problem is that government officials use the money from the inheritance tax to refurbish their private homes? And what about people that became millionaires by lobbying the hell out of the government, or from gigantic tax handouts? That's why I have a problem with them becoming millionaire working with the govt because either they getting that lobbying money OR wtf are they being paid those big bucks in the govt?
  7. Getting a tattoo that's paid in Tic Tacs.seems to me like a risky proposition. Wasn't the 85% number applicable only above 1 million bucks? What's wrong with that? Milllionaires would end up homeless apparently.For some reason I do have a problem with any person who became a millionaire BECAUSE of working in the govt. I mean what's the point of socialism if your against capitalism but okay with the govt stepping and taking it's place and becoming a business themselves without the CHOICE that businesses offer you....

  9. You know, I could get behind 85% of inheritance being taxed by the govt IF when a person of the govt (weither still or has stopped) dies, 85% if thier money, bonds, business, and items is given to the Citizens tax free. Like how the native Americans do it with the casinos. Tic for tat
  10. stealing implies ownership So we don't own what we earn? Not exactly an incentive to work hard is it? Why be an engineer and deal with that stress when I can just pick apples. After all if the pay is the same why work harder? A dead! person doesn’t own anythingCorrect BUT also a dead person cannot set up an inheritance either. If they are alive, then they have that right do they not? If I am alive and I chose to give my son 20 dollars and someone comes by and snatches the 20 outta my hand we call that stealing, but if I told my son that 20 will be his when I am dead and I have it in legal writing and someone comes by and takes the 20....that's okay?Time to go raid museums and time to go grab me some environmental protected lands. Guess we can't say **** about the govt retaking our native American lands either.
  11. The problem is that what's the point of inheritance then if not to leave behind something that helps benefit ur next generation IF instead it's going into politicians funds and bigger government? U don't actually think this will benefit the other people around us when we still allow tax money to fund businesses, private parties, golf, vacations, etc. With inheritance u can chose who gets what u leave behind, with this it's instead MAINLY going to rich politicians and hopefully some will fall off onto other citizens but most likely no one who that person knew would benefit.
  12. vanilla skyrim should still be in your library and the mods u had should still be on there, if not that sucks BUT nexus has tons of mods
  13. This guy should be fired immediately for stupidity of the highest order.Why? He’s explaining his job; part of which is to disobey illegal orders.Thing is is it "illegal" or is it "I don't want to"? What would make an order like that illegal or legal?Isn't this the reason why high priority type actions are kept from the people pushing the button like the dropping of the atom bomb. I’m not familiar with US military law; but I see no reason not to trust him? As an American I'm unfamiliar with any law that we have that would make a president pushing the button illegal. If there is any laws,I think it would be treaties with other countries. That's why it's a bit strange of an "illegal" nuclear strike because as a citizen I have no idea what exactly would make a nuclear strike legal or illegal. It's something huge that will have serious and huge reactions and consequences of pushing it weither for a good reason or not. As far as the guys character or motive, don't care nor do I think he should be fired as long as it goes thru if our president says to do so and cannot present reason not to.

  15. Don't know but didn't even play the campaign, I LOVED the multiplayer.
  16. What is so hard to understand about the fact that jobs demand is strongly inelastic? You cannot survive without income, and if you have no capital, you cannot have an income without work. So you're not "free" to choose whether to sell your labor or not. You must sell it, at whatever price the market is willing to pay for it. Or live off the grid. You only MUST sell and pay the price IF your wanting what they are selling. Don't wanna pay for power? Go off grid and adapt to not using power. Want to pay for your toys? Get a job or realize you don't NEED those toys. Want food? Grow ur own and hunt, trade for food. You don't HAVE to sell yourself at all, your perfectly capable of living without doing so. BUT if u want things that u did not make nor have the knowledge of making, then don't bitch when u gotta sell ur soul and time for modern COMFORTS.
  17. Eh I rather have silent protagonist unless I have choices in what's being said because less is more in that for example Link, I can view him as a badass or a very sad friend zoned hero. You give them a voice, u give them an identity other than their actions. It can be limiting and fall short because imagination for the most part is better than what is shown. Think of the horror movies, when are they more scary? When they show u exactly what happens or when they set up a situation and then cut away so that ur mind fills in the blanks of the crazy messed scary things our minds come up with? Or think of someone who u saw and had an idea about them and then they opened thier mouth and spun and crashed that awesome viewpoint of them.
  18. But because we don't have any into, it could be that someone went diva and could be one sided. I mean I have a couple co workers I can't stand, not because they are bad people or have personally annoyed me, just simply for having a different work habit. It is a problem but it's my problem and alot of times people don't see that they are the problem and not anyone else. I'm kinda siding with the diva simply because i can see someone is acting like one in this situation and don't see any other sides. Flawed yes, but then again it's on the blessed talented and important diva for the info and how they give it out.
  19. It's not bad and it is needed BUT not from everyone, just like femininity. It all boils down to everything else, be what you want but respect those around you.
  20. You just need to wait for that, not grind for it. Kind of a bonkers cool down thoughWhich is worse to a video game player, Waiting or grinding? That it is lol
  21. I read that with Benny Hill music going on in my head and can't stop laughing
  22. Reading about the horror of playing for 40 hours to unlock a character in a game....while I'm looking at a 28 DAY cool down before I can learn my last flame staff recipe in eso...
