  1. It's wrong akin of like blasting bad boys at someone's funeral. There's a Time and a place and taste in how people should be doing. There is never a bad place for The Time
  2. Wow, they need an average of six new teachers per school? Kooky. Maybe 56k is crap salary in Hawaii? Yes, that is a crap salary for someone with a post-graduate degree. Sadly it is typical in education. That also seems to be the median salary, so starting would be much lower (34k was a number I saw.) Given the cost of living in Hawaii, they are actually dead last in what they pay their teachers in the US. This is all made worse by the fact you have one school district for the entire state, which is a terrible way to do things. So yeah, I'm not packing my bags anytime soon. edit: There are teacher shortages all over the country, so there are more attractive offers out there, even if the scenery isn't as nice.
  3. I'd say the moral of the GoT is that women are bad and men struggle with their consciences. I had no idea who Sheeran was and liked the scene.
  4. It seems odd that we are talking about homelessness and no one has brought up the massive part that substance abuse plays.
  5. Both of Arya's scenes were pretty special, she is easily my favorite character. She was in the books as well.
  6. Actually most people probably didn't even notice the pee odor comment until Blodhelm quoted it and called it cringe worthy, so who is actually responsible for the trolling here? My vote is for Rosbjerg, since he made the thread and is bald.
  7. I have no idea what that means.
  8. Idris Elba as Bond is pretty much the best casting I can think of. There aren't any candidates that I can think of that are better. Which is really what I hope they do when they cast roles, they take the best person for the job regardless of gender or race or hair color.
  9. Most of the posters?
  10. Considering I didn't post anything about that I think you're pulling things out of your arse! We are all part of the same leftist hive mind, obviously. I am pretty sure no one said "doxing is legally and morally ok" but I suppose we all hear what we want to hear.
  11. Wait? What? In what way do they become "more aggressive"? Aren't they always hostile anyway? Well, enemies don't usually respawn in the "regular" sense, appears to be based on your actions (eg. pushing the plot forward is a surefire way to have a bunch of new enemies waiting...everywhere), so murdering everything gives some measure of peace, for a while. Some locations do seem too have enemies spawn regularly on entering though (workshop, I think?) I may be wrong, but I was under the impression that the amount of enemies that respawn was based on how much stuff you have been killing, as well as other factors.
  12. There are a lot of ways you can play the game. The more stuff you kill, the more aggressive the aliens get, so I suppose you could MAKE the game all about combat. But I found it was better to just be careful and avoid combat when possible. It's a great exploration game to me. I loved the environmental storytelling.
  13. I was thinking about starting an assassin build and following a guide, since I struggled with my build in my first run.
  14. You are not in combat the majority of the time in Prey.
  15. Looks like they cleaned up the combat a bit, nice. I think I might start a new character, my old one is still trapped in some air ducts.
  16. I let the turrets do my fighting for me in Prey. I also realized that there is no reason not to just run away most of the time.
  17. Geez, I made $5.00 an hour at Big 5 in 1997. That guy was making a fortune!
  18. It's not running, so it needs a lot of engine work. The interior has a fair amount of mold, there is a minor dent along the side, the passenger window is broken, and the brakes are out. That's all I know about at this point. My father-in-law is a mechanic, and he wants to work on it, but it will probably be a number of years before it is restored. His goal is to have it ready for my daughter in 7 years when she can drive.
  19. The new Hitman really is the best one since Blood Money. I've been loving the missions. So many choices! Today I massaged a banker to death and killed a general as the prisoner he was interrogating. I've also been playing Xenonauts, but I think the aliens are winning.
  20. More car related stuff, today we moved this beauty off my in-laws property and now it is on the side of my house. It needs a lot of work, sadly.
  21. Not sure where you folks are getting MMO or GTA. It looks like Harry Potter meets Skyrim.
  22. Brilliant casting, but is that make up or did he gain a bunch of weight?
  23. After spending a week in Arizona, Utah and Nevada, I was super happy to come back to the Bay Area. It cools off at night!
  24. When you have 11 million people breaking the law, it's easy to just blame those people. But the reality is probably a lot more complex than that. It is akin to me blaming my students when half of them fail a test. I can easily justify that they didn't study enough or whatever, but in reality I created a bad situation as the teacher. The US has put itself in this situation and needs immigration reform more than a wall and mass deportation. http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017/04/27/5-facts-about-illegal-immigration-in-the-u-s/
  25. Illegal immigration and undocumented workers are two different things, though, although there is going to be quite a bit of overlap. When you are talking about people taking your jobs, undocumented workers is a more descriptive term. Honestly illegal immigrant is a bit of a misleading term. Do people that crossed over legally but overstayed a visa still count as illegal? Illegal immigrant is fairly loaded as a term, it makes it sound like being in the US without a visa or citizenship is a criminal offense. It is a civil one. The term really applies more to a person caught in the act of trying to cross the border. But it has become common place and broad in usage, and that doesn't really bother me. As was mentioned, it tells me a lot about the person using it.
