RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS
But the Battlefield games started out with no single player experience at all. I'd say the number is fairly reversed, maybe 10% actually buy BF for the single player experience. It doesn't surprise me at all that most people play WoW to run around zones and do quests. That's the way the game hooks you in at the start. How many hours does it take you to get your character to raiding levels? I've never raided and I've played WoW off an on since the start.

What's on the idiot box?
Finished Luke Cage. I was excited they ended with a Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings appearance, that's one of my favorites. Simply put, this joins both Daredevil and Jessica Jones as excellent TV. Harlem was the real star of this series, they made the city a central focus and it was well done. Luke Cage and Shades were also standouts. I thought it slowed down a bit in the second half, but that was probably because I preferred Cottonmouth to Diamondback.

MLB 2016 - Even Year Magic
All is right in the world, Kershaw was terrible again under pressure and the Dodgers are gone from the playoffs. I'm rooting for the Cubs, but this is a great matchup between two teams in a long drought. Should be fun.

Crwating my own religion and then sending out my acolytes was one of the most rewarding experiences ever. So far Civ 6 is meeting the hype.

What You Did Today
I've bought a couple former rentals, actually both my current cars and the RV were rentals. It's hit or miss, one was a real issue and has had a lot of problems, the other has been great, and the RV was also no trouble. I typically buy an extended warranty if I get a rental, but it has to be a decent price.

Wow, that's a crazy low price for a 2015 Mazda3. Most of them in my area are priced around $18k.

I looked it up, seems that the recession in 2008 has helped the number quite a bit, so only 17.3 percent leave in the first 5 years. When I started in 2003 it was close to 50%. They've also improved new teacher support a lot since then, plus states are way more strict about having properly credentialed teachers in the classrooms. We are still in a pretty massive shortage though.

Empathy is a thing, though. The world you live in is the result of history. If you can't see that the American Indians got an incredibly raw deal, and they are still struggling because of it, that's not good. Doesn't mean you need to hang your head about it all day long, but it also seems pretty bad to just write it off as ancient history.

The US Election 2016, Part IX
Slowly releasing personal emails a month before the election in order to make the Clinton campaign look bad is pretty clearly a biased act. It's also a dangerous precedent to set, Rubio had a pretty good response to the situation: http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/exclusive-rubio-talk-wikileaks-donald-trump/story?id=42895586
