They're at the same stock price as 8 years ago.

And NOT accounting for inflation.

I think the perpetrator tried to pass off the attack as a home invasion. I'm not sure.

They're against ideals, be it beauty or good writing.

(There is also a wage multiplier factor. Simply converting the prices between currency doesn't account for that).

That's a fair point.

I haven't bought Ubisoft in years.

HEY GUYS LET'S PLAY A GAME!

Start at the first url, go to the bottom of the chart, and then scroll upwards until you find the last Ubisoft game you bought (piracy doesn't count). The person with the earliest release date wins! It's about participation, so get in on the fun no matter your result.

For me, It's Assassin's Creed III (November 20, 2012). It was the only game bundled with a PS3 that wasn't a soccer one. Never actually played it, lol. The first one was intriguing enough to justify itself, but AssCreed 2 disappointed me.

If you ever find a woman who admits mistakes and takes responsibility instead of shifting blame, you'll know she's a keeper. Personal accountability is the second greatest character trait in a woman, the first being humility.

Forgive me but you don't have it that good. I'm not sure why healthcare is so expensive in the USA and other countries. I assume it must be insurance, corporate and government meddling similar to what's made university tuition insane in those places.

In my country (Peru), healthcare isn't as expensive. You can get the best private health insurance for 400 PEN monthly (That's what I pay, less than 105 USD) and get access to the best clinics in the country. Wait times are insignificant.

The only good entertainment for me these days is some anime/manga/LN's, some indie/AA games and some youtubers. Mainstream is just a burning pile, painful to look at.

HoYeon Jung from Squid Game looked really good, but that was a Korean series.

Yes, although that's not gonna happen. A simpler solution is to teach youngsters that they don't need that kind of college. Community colleges and institutes are enough. Most jobs don't even really need anything that's taught beyond high school.

preferences are fine, I have em too, but no shot am I going to tell someone I'm uninterested in dating them because of their physical traits AND ALSO TELL THEM WHAT TRAITS..

"I was going to date you until I saw that last pic on your profile, must have missed it the first time. dating someone with crooked teeth just doesn't work for me " that would be insane lol

He's angry that he was told the reason for the rejection. He can't rationalize against that kind of clarity. It breaks the fantasy.

I'd prefer to be told why I'm being rejected. It's always better to know.

It's not (necessarily). The idea comes from the industrial revolution, in which working conditions were awful and workers were exploited to extremes, coupled with the notion of mass public education. Children then would go to school and not work so that they can have a higher standing when grown up. Depending on the job, the state of educational institutions and social climbing opportunities, this doesn't always apply.

A carpenter, a baker, a mechanic, a welder, would do right in teaching their kids the trade early on, and even have them help out in true productivity. A business owner will bring his teen kid to the office so he can begin learning the family business. That is all good.

A poor kid might spend his Saturdays or weekday afternoons begging for coins or wiping windshields to help bring some bread to the table. That is not ideal, but it is honorable and not immoral. Children have been useful to their parents for most of human history.

It's all uniparty. Nobody will solve the problem. This situation will continue to spiral downwards through the decades, or even centuries, to its ultimate end. Something else can then rise from the ashes, but not before.

If there ever was, they'd have to be pretty stupid not to have moved them to a truly secretive location at some point.

I suppose the only valid criticism is that you can't use cash. It does suck not to have the option. If they added one single self-service scanner thingy on a corner that accepts bills, everyone would win.

The federal government of the USA is doing the same, although granted against more resistance.
