Was she present at the Pandemonium level? I thought it was just Tyrael and one other archangel, though it's been decades since I played D2

The Suffering, though it's more an action game with choices

I have no idea what he's talking about - did some of the Overwatch characters get their stories rewritten?

I saw it because somebody on CE posted seeing it.. and am I thankful! Really amazing movie/plot/effects, sadly it must have flow under the radar.

Now that I've rewatched all 6 movies, I think I'd rank them like this:

4 > 6 > 5 = 1 > 3 > 2

Fallout really is amazing. I liked Rogue Nation much more on a rewatch compared to the first time for some reason. Ghost Protocol is of course undisputedly the best. First one is better than 2 and 3, and 3 is only better than 2 because 2 is goddamn diddly awful. It really is unenjoyable.

I'd agree with that ranking, but put 2 ahead of 3

I suppose the question StealthRock is asking is which is more valuable, the money he could have made doing nothing, or becoming a historical figure and a cultural icon?

On this particular point, he was refuting the idea that it is easier to become significantly richer if you are already rich. This is demonstrably true through simple mathematics, and has been proven true a multitude of times in financial circles. It is fine if he believes what you said, but it is extremely misguided to dismiss that it is getting rich that is most difficult, and staying rich is much easier.

This ignores the fact that, by being rich, you will most likely network with other rich people making opportunities on a frequent basis. Of course this requires good judgement, but ultimately you can always risk a significant portion of your wealth while still maintaining a significant growing portion in active investment. But, as a rich person, it is likely if you have a new idea you can help fund it yourself, or have friends and confidantes that may go in with you. As a poor person, it is likely you need to appeal to these people who are not your friends, and that your friends have little to no money to risk on business propositions.

A poor person, in the end, has to spend much more of his/her income on life maintenance: food, water, rent, etc. This isn't to say that it is impossible to grow wealth if they have access or are led to information on basic financial intelligence. But, in the end, having a cushion of wealth in safe investments greatly increases your ability to put your money into riskier, but more rewarding financial opportunities, and mistakes will be far more punishing if you're born poor vs. if you're born rich. To illustrate, Trump went bankrupt on six of his businesses, in debt north of hundreds of millions of dollars, and is still a billionaire. Tbh, Trump may have worked hard on those businesses. But somebody born of modest means may lose everything if their one, fairly modest business runs into trouble, maybe due to an economic downturn of an unforeseen technology advancement that was essentially unpredictable to them (maybe a local cab company owner before Uber hit the scene).

Now, I believe that it is indeed possible for people to become millionaires (net worth wise) if they learn basic tenants of financial intelligence and are fairly disciplined in their spending habits. And I also do believe opportunities are there for people that look for it, and for people that have a growth mindset. And it is important to encourage people to learn about money: saving, investing, assets, liabilities, debt, etc. But it is not the same game for the rich and poor.

Edit: Another important factor: things like sudden medical debt and other emergency costs partially outside of individual control will have a massive, massive impact on poorer individuals. This can effectively delete years of diligent saving and spending discipline and result in debt.

This is a very nice summation that addresses both empirical events and larger societal factors :)

Trump has never had to struggle or work hard, who is he kidding with "lynching"?

He's in charge of the largest military in the world, and is fighting threats not just around the world but in this very country. He gets death threats on a daily basis. There are people all around the world who hate him, and are very vocal about it. And now he's accused of illegal acts.

But no, he has nothing to struggle with *eyeroll*

Maybe per your own words, Trump should

Only when injustice is present.

I take it 'injustice' can be slander in this case? As there is no legal action against her?

"Continue the tradition of coddling me and telling me that I'm more special than others, or I'm going to be filled with irrational hate say this country is going to s***."

no just treat people equal instead of trying to turn whiteness into some sort of original sin
nobody is at fault for things their ancestors did

Who made this argument?

just look around, the phrase its okay to be white is considered racist and triggering by universities

Which Universities? I looked at the websites for universities here in Georgia, didn't see any mention of that.

Do you agree that some people are better off because of things their ancestors did?

Those schools who have that rule are on the West Coast where most of the crazies on the far left live and parts of Canada.

Do you have a link to a website or news article of one?

Got any data proving this?

what's the percentage of women that say they've been raped? a quick google search says 5%. now if most men "don't know not to rape" that number would be much higher. and yes, i'm aware that rape is an under reported crime, but it's ridiculous to think that the actual number is so high as to suggest that most men are out committing the act.

One in five women reported being raped in their lifetime - that's 20%?

For some reason I had a really hard time following the plot. Is it because I didn't see Rogue Nation?

I agree, I didn't follow the middle too well.

RN had some key characters/events that led into this...

DeadBankerDream posted...

What I liked about the Mission Impossible series was that every movie was artistically unique and had a different director's spin on this universe and this (sometimes set of) character(s). But then the 5th movie was the exact same thing as the 4th one but with different stunts so I didnt even care to watch the 6th one.

Is it interesting or is it just that the stunts are cool?

You really missed out.. the 6th one had good stunts, but the plot/character development came full circle

I think theres a big difference between Facebook decides whats true and Facebook doesnt publish blatantly false ads.

I don't think there's a big difference, I think there's a fine line.

So a political ad stating Sandy Hook was fabricated?

In individual cases there's often a big difference, but as a general practice there's a fine line between "censoring blatantly false ads" and "deciding what's true".

So... you think Facebook *should* block some ads? Just making sure I'm following your point..

No, I don't think they should, because even if it's obvious in some ads, there are also many where the line is fine. I just don't think facebook, the provider of the platform, should be the one to make those decisions.

So if a politician ran with a campaign about "bringing the truth out about Sandy Hook", their ads advocating that the event was a hoax should be allowed on Facebook?

As someone said He was a constant race baiter in congress.. showed up there poor, and ended up a millionaire while the people of baltimore saw the city spiral into ruins during his tenure in congress. I feel bad for his family and loved ones, but have hope for the people he was supposed to represent that they find someone who will actually get things done for them

What did he do that you felt "saw the city spiral into ruins"? Given that he was a representative for the state, not the city?

But I thought Trump stated he didn't care about what happens to the Kurds?

Man that is just vile basically waving the killer in their faces and saying "No, she's not gonna face any consequences but won't you do us a solid and accept her fake ass apology, maybe give her a hug in front of the news cameras and thank President Trump for making this happen so he can look good? No?

This isn't even the most vile thing today Trump has done just a few moments ago he justified his abandonment of the Kurds by saying they're no angels after days ago saying they probably released the ISIS fighters themselves to try and force him to put the troops back

With all the coverage of the mishandled parent - killer meeting I didn't even know he claimed Kurds released the ISIS fighters..

Yeah after reading what he did, he deserved it

Most articles cut it so it goes "I slapped him across the face so hard my hurt... ...I punched him in the face... He staggered back and fell against the door... ...Then I grabbed him by the neck of his hoodie, kneed him in the face, and tossed him on the kitchen floor" so it looks like she legit just beat him senseless for it.
