I used to work with a kid like this. 25 years old, got money from his parents, spent his entire work check on weed. One of my co-workers told me about a time he caught this guy just staring off into space for like an hour while on the clock. Total piece of shit, and an asshole on top of it all. Basically what you'd expect from an ICP fan, which he was.
Too bad here in America, Land of the Free to pay up or go fuck yourself, this never happen outside of the occasional local town ordinance. The government gets paid taxes either way so they don't care.
Unrelated, why does that city look like it was built in SimCity using mods?
A program instalation window with a licence agreement with the text "Insert your licence agreement text here..." and an agree and disagree radial buttons.
He bought overpriced shoes - so he's a dumbass - and he got them from some rando instead of an actual store. I guess he never heard the term "buyer beware."
Just because I had two opinions in the same comment doesn't mean you should get the fleet the two. If you buy something without verifying its source you are stupid. If you buy overly expensive shoes you are stupid. See they're two different things. I'm just using this case as a chance to jab at the stupidity of buying the overpriced shoes while also jabbing at the stupidity of buying something without verifying it's authenticity. It's a two-for-one.
Well it only has one use and that's to be a shoe, the quality of which is perfectly available that doesn't cost 10 times as much because it's colorful or has somebody's name on it.
But it's fine I'm sure that the kids working in the sweatshops in India or China don't mind that they're only making pennies on the dollar for the product which is then subsequently enormously marked up in order to profit some rich asshole.
So yeah it's stupid because it's a shoe that costs too much.
Group of Seven leaders are set to reach a political agreement to provide Ukraine with $50 billion of aid using the profits generated by frozen Russian sovereign assets, according to an Elysee official....
Naval vessels are expensive af - Newsweek says the Moskva was $750k - and they take a long time to build. Replacing them takes at least a couple of years.
Don't forget the needless implementation of always-online single player games. Even for single/multiplayer games like PoE or anything Diablo, there's literally no technical need to have a connection. It's just fancy DRM for Blizzard and an excuse to milk you more microtransactions for PoE.
And before anyone regurgitates Blizzard's BS about anti-cheat, it's very possible to keep multiplayer characters on the server and single player on your computer and never have them interact or permit single player loot to be sold on their marketplace. Not to mention their regular online check for D2R. Blizzard has ALWAYS used aggressively hostile DRM. If they could virus bomb thieves' computers then they absolutely would.
It is for certain people, but not typically. I know two people who quit cold turkey and my fiancee knows another one. Everyone else has fought and struggled, relapsed, or shifted to e-cigs.
Strangely this can be true for hard drugs too. As I understand it, biology is a big part of it, but psychological, social, and circumstantial factors are pretty important too.
I firmly believe that rather than superpositional, these are 11 dimensional. It doesn't matter which direction you rotate it, it will still take you on average five or six 180° rotations until it fits into the damned slot.
You have one apple. You divide it into quarters, so that you have 0.25 of an apple. Now divide it in half. So yes well technically you do have one half of 0.25 (and 0.5 is the answer that a calculator will return) what you actually have is 1/8 of an apple (0.125).
This is what pisses me off about Matt half the time. You end up with something that in the abstract makes sense because it's just numbers, but then if you try to make it make sense in real life it's stupid.
Those ambulatory kickballs are a damned nuisance. Pro tip: never stop your car when they're crossing the street unless they have young with them. Just slow down to idle speed and creep forward. They're stupid, but not suicidal, and we'll get out of the fucking way.
Yeah but that would enable the prolonging of people's lives. Given how shit life and the world are, I can't engage or support that; it'd unethical for me force people to stay alive. Y'all do what you think is right, but I see it as needless cruelty.
