That said, are milk alternatives really at all healthy? They must be heavily processed. Of course better than real milk if you're allergic.

There might be a system come about in the future, perhaps deeply centered around automation and renewable energy, which could be better than capitalism.

Communist systems have been tried enough to be disregarded currently. Maybe they could work in the distant future but it will require large societal changes to happen naturally, not through force. Not in our lifetimes.

This is ALL happening because of those fucking red states trying to forcefully go back to the dark ages. All these red state refugees (cant even blame them) are making it to where blue state people are getting forced out of their cities.

This is a strange conspiracy and not true at all. By and large people are moving out of NY and CA and into FL and TX.

Prices have gone up basically everywhere worth living. A lot of that might have to do with investment corporations which I read have been buying 25% of homes on the market. There can be other strong local factors such as tech work boom where these workers with higher wages are willing to pay more and outbid the locals, driving up prices.

Dangit, do I need to see these movies? I've always thought they were just pure action movies that people with shallow taste in movies flocked to simply because it was the newest action flick.

Even though I have a deeper appreciation for amazing plots than I do for action, I'm of the mindset that anything done really well can be considered great. That being said, am I missing out?

The movies are really good, but don't expect more than a basic plot. That said, the world building is actually really good, and each movie adds more lore.

Of course, the biggest strength of the series are the soundtrack and action scenes.

The Groom of the Stool was a personal assistant to medieval monarchs. They followed the king and queen and carried around shitting stuff, like a toilet, water, and towels. And while one might think that carrying around literal shit everywhere would be a demeaning and humiliating job, it was actually highly sought after, and many of them were sons of noblemen. Because the GotS spent so much time with the king, they were highly trusted and often rewarded handsomely.

A lot of parks are absolutely packed and unfortunately need to go reservation. Grand Canyon and Zion come to mind.

The bad news is that the high demand means they will sell out quick. Maybe they should implement a waiting list.

I would like to mention there are absolutely stunning state parks and national monuments that are just as good as the national parks and way less crowded, you just need to do some research or be adventurous on a road trip.

Also Yakuza 5 made me really like Saejima he was w/e in 4 mostly. Plus the idol stuff with Haruka not really something I want to do all of either but I liked the story plus Akiyama was involved on it too. That guy rules.

Yeah but those minigames take up significant amount of time and story. Taxi driving, racing, hunting, and all the idol crap.

And even if you get past those, the story in 5 is incredibly weak. The final boss is the lamest in the series, by far.
