And maybe Undertale. Been wanting to try that, but I dunno if I want it on Switch or PS4.

My parents are Trump supporters, but I get along with them great because normal people can disagree on politics and still have a good relationship.

Id be suprised if hes not a vp candidate at minimum. He will definately be running, as to if the DNC is smart enough to go all in on him is another thing. I can feel the impending Warren or Clinton nom coming.

I've not done a lot of research into who may or may not run across the DNC field, but yeah, Beto or someone like him, just a decent likeable guy, has an amazing chance of winning the White House. Warren or Clinton (which has to be a joke, right?)... I mean, Trump is hardly a strong candidate so anything is possible, but they are much more beatable.

I think that if it is to remain a legal option for education, then there needs to be heavier regulation and requirements on both curricula and parents.

AMEN. Ive seen five kids in my family homeschooled including my two nieces. In every instance its been a train wreck.

My family is notorious for using Christian teaching materials that specifically target the homeschool market. I read through some of the science worksheets they have to fill out and the basic answer to most of the questions is God did it.

You wonder how someone like Trump can get elected? Its partly because were raising a nation full of morons. Theres no real supervision over homeschoolers. Its basically just filling out worksheets. My cousin stopped doing all her stuff at like 14 and not a single person said a thing. Not even one phone call about her dropping out. The definition of homeschooling should be falling through the cracks.

I think its a state by state thing, so some states are stricter, but there should definitely be some mandated testing that the homeschooled kids have to go to every month or at least every quarter where its proctored by an actual professional and it can be determined if they are actually learning anything.

Public schools are good because they are closest to a real world experience. You are going to meet all kinds of people in life and having a sheltered upbringing isn't going to prepare you for real life.

Not just socialization, but I think actually going to school every day early in the morning is important to get someone used to working when they're an adult. I mean obviously there are a lot of different jobs and a lot of different shifts, but by and large people are going to have to get up early five days a week until they retire. I've seen some homeschool families that are all about, "Well little Billy doesn't do well if he gets up too early, we let him sleep until 11!" And, well, yeah, sure, maybe some people function better later but that isn't the reality they are likely to live with as an adult.

In honesty the three body builder guys.

Before the end of the episode where they just became complete idiots they were really helping Bill to boost his confidence instead of expecting a super depressed person to just exercise on his own. For that short time they were good friends to Bill building him back up into someone he was proud to be instead of ignoring him and letting him just continue to fail, and be miserable.

Granted Bill became a bit of a jerk, but they were treating him, and his new friends like freaks. It was just nice to see Bill improve a bit instead of just being the sad sack. Sadly the show had no real interest in helping Bill, and just went back to sad sack Bill afterwards.

Yeah, I'm hoping if the revival rumors are true that they're allowed to have some character progression. IIRC Fox was really big on them keeping everything the same episode to episode (although I guess towards the end they let Luanne get married and have a kid, but Bobby stayed the same age, Bill would randomly improve himself for an episode then revert next week, etc).

Seeing obama only won by 10mil and 5mil on both elections kinda makes your post true.

RomneyAlmostWon

That's who I voted for. :(

I pretend I live in an alternate reality where we are all peacefully enjoying Romneys second term. >_>

But yeah. I didnt vote for Trump, but most of my friends and family did. Only a small handful are really pro-Trump, but people just disliked President Obama and Hillary that much that they figured he was the lesser of two evils. Seeing how he has governed this far, while his cultists obviously arent going anywhere, I really hope the lesser evil votes see the err of their ways in 2020.

Trump also swung a lot of the blue collar union democrat types that no Republican has made many in-roads with since Reagan. You dont have get Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, etc without winning a lot of them over these days if youre a republican. In my experience many of that voter bloc are pretty... lets say... anti-immigration? And probably not super keen on a female President.

Small private religious schools are just as bad as homeschooling from what I've seen. Talking ones with like 5-20 students.

Heck, I identify as a Christian but I'm also very much against those type of institutions.
There was one near where I grew up and the kids I knew from there were weird AF. One of them I know personally and he's a very unhappy person who refuses to hold a job, collects ridiculous amounts of guns/accessories, and does drugs to pass the time.

I would assume that's more the exception than the rule, maybe? I dunno, we have a couple weird tiny ones were literally the entire k-12 could fit in one or two rooms, but I went to one that was obviously small compared to public, but had 30 kids per class I think? I dunno, I thought it was a pretty good experience. But then you'll get some Christian private schools that are probably all about weird indoctrination and ones like mine where it was pretty normal except you had "chapel" once a week and maybe 2 or 3 teachers said a quick prayer at the beginning of the class. And I think we took a couple days to go over creationism theories in science class before going on to what you actually would need to know for college.

you probably went to a normal enough school. any of the Christian schools that are decently large seem to result in normal kids. I'm really only talking about those single class room private schools where you have like k-12 in a single class and a teacher who has no idea what they are doing.

Ha. Yeah a couple of my friends started there and ended up transferring to my school at some point, horror stories!

he wasn't a racist or antigay or anything like that. that person is insane

Yeah I had never heard anything about that, and it wasn't reflected in his work.

I know occasionally stories would pop up about he and his wife being really hard to work for and they could be overbearingly mean, though. Of course no idea if that's accurate (doesn't seem like him, but obviously he's always "in character" in the public eye so who knows?) or just someone trying to get a pay day.

people are gonna get pissed at him calling everyone out for continuing to see him at conventions which only pushed everyone to keep booking him for conventions.

But like how many of his fanbase actually ever even went to conventions he was at or whatever? Like myself and all my friends are big comic nerds and Stan Lee fans but none of us ever went to a convention, I doubt he's ever even been at any near me.

Yeah, I guess family. I feel bad saying it, but after having a human child I am more prone to be annoyed by my dog when I wouldn't really before, though. I don't think he reads GameFAQs, so no one tell him. >_> He's a rescue dog and just has lots of issues that you wouldn't generally have to deal with with most dogs, so it can just be really difficult juggling a baby and a dog that's afraid of uncarpeted floor and will decide he's going to refuse to be indoors for an entire day, regardless of the weather, etc.

Still I like him a lot and definitely am not going to be one of those "have to get rid of my dog because I had a baby!" people. He just feels more like a "pet" whereas the dog I had before him that I grew up with basically was absolutely family/man's best friend.

I was homeschooled K-12 and I think that if it is to remain a legal option for education, then there needs to be heavier regulation and requirements on both curricula and parents.

I don't generally like the idea, but I don't think it should be illegal... this sums up my view pretty well. For whatever reason, I know a lot of people who were homeschooled, and people who are currently homeschooling their children, and really its all over the map. While I don't really see many circumstances where I would consider it the best option, some people seem to do a pretty good job with it. Actually making sure their kid is learning, etc, and getting them involved with team sports which you can enroll in your local public school if you're homeschooled, and homeschool co-op things, and whatever stuff like that, so they're getting a fair amount of social interaction with their peers and actually learning. But then I've also seen homeschooling that is just playing video games all day and mom forging a test once a year or whatever to prove they learned something. Or daily "field trips" to the park to study "earth science" or something.

Honestly though I hate the school district I live in, its definitely not my first option but man I really hope I can send my daughter to the next school over or afford private school. >_>

How many more cameos do you think he's already filmed? Definitely Captain Marvel, and definitely Dark Phoenix. Probably Avengers 4. What about Far from Home? Did he do a voice cameo for Into the Spiderverse?

I'd say very likely Captain Marvel, Avengers 4, and Spiderverse. Probably Far from Home.

If he was going to do one for Dark Phoenix, I'm sure its long in the can, but he's only done a few cameos among all the X-men films so hard to say if it was ever planned to happen or not.

I am hoping they just planned way in advance for the MCU and have a ton but I guess we'll see. You'd think he could just film a bunch of wacky things in front of a green screen one day and they'd have tons of random places they could slip it in. >_>

Hulk Hogan is immortal, brother. So we will never know.

Honestly hard to say, will obviously be huge but they are both big pop culture icons that transcend comics or wrestling. Id say Stan is bigger due to the MCU and I suppose the Spidey and X-Men films before that really putting Marvel in the public eye.

Yeah I think MCU has surpassed it... oversaturation makes Marvel stronger but hurt Star Wars.

But yeah dunno why Stan Lee would be getting billions for a company that he... worked for but didnt found or own or even have any particular role there by the time Disney bought them. Hes sort of been the Marvel good will ambassador for decades but hasnt actually been in charge for ages, and had his own silly comic company bat no one cared about putting out such hits as Stripperella.

I don't care what people think politically. Like hey, I really dislike Trump, but 90% or more of my family and friends are Trump supporters... well, some are outright supporters, some don't love him but will vote republican no matter what. Not gonna disown everyone I know over politics.

That said, you can't be so naive as to wear something like that and not expect a negative reaction, rather or not that's fair. So it sucks to have your kids in on it. Although still people should just treat them like any other family and not act like seeing the red hat is triggering.

It would have been a good idea to keep your standard of living down to what your own income would allow from the beginning. Additional sources of income should be just icing on the cake. But holy shit at this part:

My mortgage is $2500 a month.

Unless you live in a prohibitively expensive area like San Francisco, you could easily move out to a home with half the mortgage, even if that means no longer living in a neighborhood with gates made of gold.

Yeah, like... I know I live in an area with lower than average cost of living but my mortgage is like $435 for a decent place, so a number like $2500 just seems insane... >_>

But regardless, that sucks TC. Sorry to hear that, hopefully you can work it out but it sounds like she's lost it. Like... why would you not want to have a nice place to live and provide for your children? I don't get it.

There was at least two off the top of my head, that were exclusively Batman and Spidey, not big all Marvel and DC. I remember thinking the one with Joker and Carnage was decent, but that was about 20 years ago so who knows if it holds up? I forget who the villains were in the other one.

Most of the crossovers were pretty meh but I do miss them happening semi-regularly. Was kind of cool for the novelty of it.

Now like if he's out of work but desperately seeking a job and just needs to stay there temporarily its one thing, but obviously that isn't the case.
