Comment on Unplugging from comedy shows, by Rosstin316. A Reddit post analysis. in ~society

We would watch the previous night's late night TV in the morning with coffee before I go to work and now we just don't want to. I suppose this is the downside to late night being so much more focused on politics than they used to be.

At least that's what I would do. Let it ride if you want to chase that gambling high. That's not really my thing.
Crypto is great if you're a criminal organization that needs to move money.
Crypto is awful if you're the pumper.
Crypto is great if you're the dumper.We already have regulated money and assets. Why do you want to mess around with unregulated money?

The Amazon hockey broadcast has been a breathe of fresh air without all the sports betting garbage, although I imagine that's only a matter of time.

Yeah Fallout 4 was the first Fallout game that was more action shooter and crafter than a true RPG. It received a lot of negative sentiment upon release. Also, aside from your legitimate complaint, I also hate how meaningless conversations became in it. The options were basically all Yes, sarcastic yes, indifferent and no, which is still basically yes. Also the prompts were all so short you would often select something only for your character to say something different.
Although I still think it's silly that my character can hold 800 thousand items in his pocket :P
Truth, but you can fix this to an extent if you play hardcore mode. Ammo has weight and you need food and water if you really want that realism.

One thing we have found helps her out, is when I get home from work we tell each other three positive things we did that day. Doesn't matter how small they are, just that they were positive.
Her having to think about what positive things she accomplished has apparently helped her be more forgiving towards herself when she doesn't accomplish everything on her to do list for that day.

Trump will win by a bigger percentage than Hitler and the threat is better known.
I don't know man. I took a sick day to stay home with my wife who is understandably taking it worse than me. I'm just numb at this point. I have American family. Some of them almost certainly voted for Trump. I'm terrified for my American neighbours. I'm terrified because my country will almost certainly follow suit and while PP is not as bad as Trump that is an incredibly low bar.

I don't know but it would probably be easier to accomplish than rebuilding public transit and redesigning our cities to be less car centric.

Wafik Link ParentThat's a fair point I didn't consider due to the 100% tariff on Chinese EVs. Yeah I don't know what the right price would be. I do think your point about being competitive is huge. To make an...Don't discount Chinese companies doing the same thing and being subsidized in the process. Though a case can be made for Tesla for the latter as well.
That's a fair point I didn't consider due to the 100% tariff on Chinese EVs.
Yeah I don't know what the right price would be. I do think your point about being competitive is huge. To make an affordable car, it probably needs to be a sedan but North America has been brain washed to believe they need an SUV. Maybe we should be focused on making a more affordable EV SUV.

I think there are two problems here.
Making affordable cars is a good goal, but I think the target of $25000 may no longer be reasonable.
Pre Nazi Dark Maga Elon talked about the importance of working towards $25000. When Tesla's goal was to accelerate the transition to sustainable transportation, this car was vital. That mission statement has been removed and is no longer Tesla's goal. Now Tesla burns money to fuel Elon's ketamine filled lies. No one should be surprised that the $25000 car is dead as it no longer aligns with Elon's goals.

I assume you're talking about Final Fantasy. The pixel remakes were fine, but I still prefer playing FF4&6 on the SNES version through emulation.
