"Escaped research monkeys" isn't even that creative of a start to a sci-fi or horror movie. It's so cliche I can't believe it happened

I just bought the F.E.A.R bundle from steam a week ago or so, and beat the first game in the series 20 years after release. And other than a fan made .dll patch, it was great. Lacked some depth more modern titles have, but I also noticed how much effort was put into some details that were surprising for its age.

Witcher 3 was also self published, and it came down to 70% off after a few years.

A self-driving vehicle is not exclusive to Elon.

I prefer electric cars over gas ones, and think that at some point computer controlled transportation will be more reliable than the average human driver. These aren't endorsements of any person or company.

Why are you wrapping this up so much with the one dude?

Its like saying that you can't endorse online shopping unless you also like Bezos.

Basically, grandma bought a house, hasn't paid off the loan, and the house is foreclosed. He wants to buy the house (maybe with his Grandma's blessing) for the remainder of the loan amount. Because the "value" of the house, as determined by the market, is much higher than the amount remaining in the loan, he would have to pay taxes for acquiring a "gift" amount of the difference.

It's complicated because it gets into wealth transfer laws, and how taxes work in a particular system.

On one hand, generational wealth is a real problem because it lets the rich get richer down their lineage especially for the ultra wealthy, but on the other, if my parents want to give me a house that they paid for and own, why should the government be able to demand some 20k in taxes for my inheritance?

I also think this is fairly poorly presented or polled data, but your first point isn't quite correct I don't think. Those percentages are not mutually exclusive, it could be a much smaller percentage of influence that covers multiple categories. "A celebrity caused me to change my opinion and also go vote and their stance made me like them" is all possible from the same interaction.

Right? I tried my hand at welding a rec tube to a plate to make an oil tank for knife making. I had to use epoxy to keep it water tight.

I believe it is where I am too, 36+ is full-time for benefits requirements. Apparently the insurance company asked my employer to please make sure I was working at least 36hrs a week, because for a month or so I was only getting to 32.

I got it on an embedded video for a news site. VPN on of course.

It is not illegal to make backup copies for yourself of games you have purchased and own.

I'm also in the second camp. Plus, censoring the bad words on specific users is a few too many steps closer to don't say gay on the internet. Is ass ok but not fuck? Is sex talk forbidden? All mention of anatomy, including general questions about health? How about they ban anti-capitalist language too? The tiktok language phenomenon shows that users will absolutely just make do getting around communication bans, "unalive" and "le$beans" being the most popular. This type of censorship has already happened on other platforms, and it's all bullshit and useless.

Good! That's what I want to hear.
