3. Being a teacher usually requires a Master’s degree. She very probably has student debt.

“It is not the severity of punishment that deters crime, but the certainty of punishment.”

Only stupid people try the medicine drug. You are stupid.

Both things can be true.

The plot badly needs some pruning shears taken to it; to say that it moves at a snails pace is an insult to snails. Like, why did we need an entire faux high school arc? There’s plot-relevant stuff there, but they can cut most of that and the game would be better. Filler arcs in a story that’s…what, ten games now? That’s why this series is still obscure, despite there being a lot to like here.

If you need something to scratch that JRPG itch, you can do a lot worse, and there’s a reason this series shows up on “hidden gems” list. But…damn. There’s so much content and story, and a fair chunk is little better than filler.

Mark Meer is great, and definitely worth playing thru to experience. Not quite at the same level as Jennifer Hale’s performance, but it was still absolutely brilliant.

Still, I hear this every time I hear Shepard talk to Dr. Chakwas.

A bunch of inbred royal fucks beefing over turf.

Which aptly describes basically every war in European history, honestly.

Given how he was threatening Merchan, the jury, and the witnesses (not to mention multiple violations of his gag order), I’d say prison time is unlikely, but not off the table. I’d be pissed if I were Merchan and somebody came into my courtroom and behaved in that manner.

Bloodborne: Complete Edition for PC, with new and rearranged weapons (I hate how the only strength+bloodtinge weapon is near the end of the DLC area), armor sets, and restored cut content. I’d especially love for them to go thru the chalice dungeons and eliminate most of the reskinned and duplicate fights.

Bloodborne is good enough to stand alone; I’m not sure where they could go with a sequel.

Journeys (the shoe chain) and Hollister Co. both use Linux distros on their point of sale machines. Hollister’s machines are pretty locked down and can basically only run the RPoS software, but a lot of Journeys’ software is browser-based, so they have to be a bit more capable.

Pretty sure they’re both custom distros, though.

A man who died a slow and excruciating death of lung cancer after spending most of his career denying that smoking caused cancer.

Good riddance.

Really, given that he violated his gag order multiple times and threatened the judge, the jury, and the witnesses, Merchan should absolutely give him some prison time, and point out during sentencing that simply keeping his mouth shut and respecting the process would’ve resulted in some probation and community service. Most first-time offenders don’t get prison time for this, but Trump couldn’t stop running his mouth.

Two years would be a just punishment, I think.

An entire fandom has been pronouncing “Evangelion” wrong for the past quarter-century.

It’s supposed to be pronounced with a hard G, like hair gel.

Arkansas used a bit of ratfuckery to keep it off the ballot here, too.

They’re probably gonna get away with it, too. And to think, we could’ve had a bona fide scientist as our governor instead of Donald Trump’s personal liar.

Time is a flat circle.

I mostly just can’t believe people are still mad about that.

I guess the people who hated Part 2 because they didn’t like the story have just let it go by now; how empty is your soul that you’re STILL mad that Abby looks a bit masculine?

Walmart is a retailer, because they sell basically everything, while Kroger only sells groceries. I think that’s the distinction they’re making.

To my knowledge, it’s the first time in history that a non-nuclear power invaded and occupied territory belonging to a nuclear power.

So, that’s even more dubious history Putin played a part in.

There’s only a handful of places, bosses, and enemies where resistance gear is helpful, but even then, it’s by no means required.

Besides, the drip is more important. Look good, feel good, hoont good.

Someone has never had to deal with DHL.

You’d think the Germans would be fantastic at logistics, but in this case, you’d be very wrong.
