I do think that each subsequent generation has a wider divide than the last. Not necessarily the middle, but those on either end of the spectrum. Someone on the Right who's a Boomer is on average further left than a Millennial; and Z seems to be moving even further. Same can be said for those on the Left.

I remember going to a Memorial Day concert at the Capitol once and they had Gary Sinise hosting (apparently he still does it every year) with Joe Mantegna with the military bands playing patriotic songs. It was nice, that's all they need.

I read her Wikipedia... Nothing about her being Jewish.

The skin of wings is loaded with fat -> calories. Rip that off (even though it tastes oh so good) and the meal isn't so bad. Unfortunately, you don't have that option at restaurants because they presauce them.

I do love a good Buffalo sauce though. Most restaurants suck at it, but the few who are great at it... it's magnificent. I also make it at home, it does have tons of butter, especially if you need to make it mild enough to appeal to everyone in the household, but it's really just butter and hot sauce plus some optional spices if you like. As long as you don't drench your wings, there are worse meals you can have.

The purpose of HR is to make employees miserable and to ensure the company doesn't get sued.

Usually to get any legit diagnosis, you'd go to a neuropsychologist and they'd put you though several hours of testing along with weighing input from parents, teachers, etc. A 10 question questionnaire wouldn't even come close. Even with the diagnosis, I'd never agree to put any kid on meds. They should be just getting extra time (on tests and such) and help in school rather than medicating. Most people grow out of the hyperactivity in adulthood anyway.

If you want to hide your need to pay for porn or whatever else, I guess, but you can get a prepaid SIM card just about anywhere.

So then get a prepaid SIM card from somewhere, use that number to sign up then let it expire.

You can easily get a free phone number with Google voice. I've rarely found any sites that don't accept a GV number.

I guess it's all relative. Some chick who makes a few thousand a year figures it's extra spending money for stuff, vacations, whatever. True, the vast majority make next to nothing. Then again, it's kinda of shocking the amount of unattractive girls trying to make money doing porn.

If I were ever so compelled to sign up, I'd be generating fake prepaid credit cards with fake addresses and phone numbers. Most people are pretty stupid though. Also, having a sex consumed mind makes people do stupid things (which is then followed by post nut clarity and shame).

It's an interesting thing. The majority of content is leaked and fairly easy to find. The people who leak it likely are people who pay to some degree (hence how they obtain it). Yet, the women on it still make enough from people who pay regardless of the fact that most of the content is available for free. So either these men are retarded or they are so desperate that they believe that the limited communication with this online woman who is only in it for the money is fulfilling for some reason. Strange for sure.

Even in White majority towns, can you really trust your neighbors anymore? Left wing nutjobs and sexual deviants abound. Do we trust these people around our kids even if they're White?

Also, so many of our suburbs are designed with so much sprawl and few, if any, common gathering places.

Yes, but having boiling being only 100 degrees higher causes a much smaller gap of useful everyday temperatures. Most places rarely see temperatures below 0°F. We also know that going above 100°F are dangerously hot temperatures. Even with water temperature, we know that around 100°F is an enjoyable bathing temperature, but going above that starts to get dangerous. Drinking liquids slightly above that, etc.

At the end of the day, I guess it's all relative to what you're used to, but I prefer the temperature ranges in Fehrenheit. Plus. The whole scale was built for powers of 2, it made more sense in a less digital world.

Dealing with fractions of an ounce is annoying compared to whole grams.

I like metric for weight, that's about it. Cooking with metric is a lot easier. Celsius is nonsense. There's very little real life use of having the boiling point being an anchor. Fahrenheit is anchored on real life daily measurements.

Probably. Although, I think blacks know that less whites = more Hispanics, which is a much worse state for them.

I'm not asking for 10 hour games. I'd rather 30-40 hour games (like Mass Effect). When I say hub, I mean games where you spend a long period of time in a single area exploring, getting quests, doing quests in the vicinity of that area, etc. before progressing the story to the point where you then move on to a new area. Some games do this with acts that keep in that one place until the act is complete, others allow you to explore a limited amount of locations until you need to move on to new places as the story demands.

You only played through the Mass Effect games once? I know I played them multiple times. The Witcher 2 was a game I played through probably 10 times, but only played through TW3 once. I played Dragon Age Origins multiple times... and I'm sure I've played through many other 15+ year old RPGs multiple times.

Even if you want to be more generous and mention more semi/smaller open world games. I've played through the Yakuza games multiple times, which features smaller hub based cities. Kingdom Come Deliverance (1) is an example of a smaller open world that I enjoyed replaying, but that was at about the limit of what I would want to deal with in an open world. IMO, big for the sake of big is just stupid and a waste of time/resources. I'm not against smaller open world games that can keep the world dense and interesting.

For RPGs, if you make the player's choices matter, and have decisions change the world then you can play easily make hub based games replayable. If you must have an open world style game, then making the world smaller and more intimate is a better design choice. Filling open world games with countless travel hours does nothing to improve the experience to me. I'd rather spend hours exploring every inch of a city than going there just to receive some quests, then being forced to go somewhere else, come back, get a new quest, on repeat. For example, Citadel in Mass Effect is probably one of the most memorable RPG locations I can remember. I can also probably play through Flotsam in The Witcher 2 or even Vizima in The Witcher 1 blindfolded (exaggerating obviously). There's nothing like that in these open world games.

I find that most of these larger open world games lack any memorable locations because every new location is just another quest giving hub with little to do because the game requires you to experience the rest of the world that the devs spent countless hours building. It also ruins the focus of the game. I'm not saying some devs don't ever pull it off, but it's rare IMO. Everyone wants to try to do it, but most can't.

Funny enough, Vavra isn't even making games anymore. Decided to go into movies. That was the big payoff for him.

There's also a second gay one night stand. Also, the ability to get drugged and raped by a woman and then apologizing for it.

I still think that open world is one of the worst fads in gaming over the past 15 years. Once Skyrim blew up, everyone needed to make open world games. For every gem, there are heaps of games that are worse off. I'll take the old hub system with content dense levels in most cases over a world that has some hot spots mixed with vast areas of nothingness that's pretty to look at.

It's all a black box, but it does remind me of even at the local level with town budget votes where all the teachers show up en masse to give themselves raises and then no one else does, but then proceed to complain when their taxes go up after the town budget increased again.

People have been talking about the draft coming back since 9/11. I'll believe it when I see it.

I hated that jingle. Catchy, but not in a good way.
