SEGA CD in general was a gimmicky piece of crap. It was definitely trying to be ahead of its time though, so Ill give it credit for that. But man it aged horribly

I disagree. Yeah it had some awful games of the time but it has some great RPGs, adventure games and shooters. Some of its enhanced games were pretty choice as well.
It just lost support quickly leading to a small library. The number of gems is there though.
What were those movie games called...those of course blew.

Drug tests can be lame, but that's cause I do "drugs".
Oral tests are what I find necessary though. If you can't pass that, then you probably have a drug problem. Unless the company truly doesn't care and I support that as well.

Mind you, I obtain all my drugs legally, but since companies can say that doesn't matter, my prescription is voided by them if I ever get tested. I'm not sure if a lawsuit has ever protected the employee for that though.

Urine tests and beyond go further back than necessary imo. If you can detect something in someone's body from a couple weeks ago that doesn't even have an affect on their brain at that time, how can that be held against them?

Everything is moderate that I own except to the people who don't own any of what I have.

For instance, I have a few dozen Saturn games, 60+ books in general and I almost always have an 8th of flower on me up to a half ounce.

To my girlfriend, she finds some of that stuff excessive but knows it is all part of my passions.
Only recently have I started to lack space for my books and games, but we also have a small place.
The best thing about a second hand book collection is the value is personally enormous. A lot of my books I got in a bundle, making them worth like 25 cents but they give me hours of a good time

First of all, I don't drink. Secondly, I am not going to pay an arm and a leg to play shallow, casualized garbage.

I stopped drinking years ago and still go a few times a year.

As far as arcades go and all the coupons that they offer, I rarely pay more than $10 person/hour. I could maybe say up to $15, but I almost always go with my girlfriend, pay around $20 and we have an hour of fun at least.

They have games now that save your progress for fighting games and stuff like that. So, it isn't quite as casual.
In fact, they've had a horse racing game that saves your progress. I've had cards for a really, really long time. I think I bred two of my racing horses. That wasn't much of a casual game cause I saw most kids sit down for a minute and leave because it didn't have that instant gratification casual games typically have.

Typical 'give me' people... Stick your head in the sand.

I'm not biased over voting habits, that's why. Trump is clean. There were no facts to back it up. Someone fabricated your 'proof' online and the media gobbled it up. The whole stunt was hot air to try bashing Trump yet again. The world knew it would fail so the time and money wasted will leave a lasting negative impression on that team. I say good for 'em, learn a lesson.

Something has to happen to be guilty. Not just because you whine that things aren't going your way.

Now you're just trolling.

But for anyone who thinks any of this impeachment was made up, or that trump is innocent, or there is no evidence, well here you go. If you can read: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.buzzfeednews.com/amphtml/salvadorhernandez/impeachment-trial-trump-evidence-summary
Now, if you actually watched the trial, you'd know it all as well.
Either of those things, having watched the trial or read the article, make it clear trump was guilty. To think otherwise, just doesn't make sense. At all.

It's because people think we're good that we're not. There's still rampant racism and prejudice. People then get away with it cause others think it's not a big problem. The fact we're still discussing it proves it's still a problem.
Yes, there's a minority that complains for the wrong reason, but there's also a very silent group afraid to raise a voice. Actually, that's kinda most people, no matter who they are.
I work with a mediocre employee who is middle eastern. I hear complaints about his race, accent, his English but rarely his work ethic. It really shows people's true colors when they start complaining.
It's so commonplace you probably don't notice it.

Think about how many times you hear "she's pretty for a (race) girl)". Rarely do people even mean to say it, but it's still so engrained in us.

No no. We had problems that needed a businessman to solve. 'Thinking about others' is bullcrap. That's what led to this participation award snowflake mentality and now we have THAT problem to fix.

As far as getting dirt on an opponent, everyone does it. It's only an issue because the haters wanted to try attacking him again. It ended just the way it was supposed to (and expected).

No, thinking about others led to civil rights and more legislation demanding equality. That stuff is being reversed by backwards minded people.

It takes adjusting to go back, but your skin may even become more soft over time by not being stripped of moisture from soap.
Within about a week, you could add a day of non showering and not feel so dirty anymore.

This is one of things people love to judge others over along with deodorant usage.

I shower when I need to, which is typically two to four times a week, and never use deodorant. I havent had a complaint about my smell in over 20 years since I was a teenager.

The follow up is usually people claiming others just havent complained.

Nope. Ive seen my coworkers tell others they smelled like shit and needed a shower with mine own eyes.

I just appear to be one of a lucky few who dont have a strong negative odor. But when I work out or do heavy labor I still will take a shower.

Almost me exactly. I'm like twice a week though.

I have long and beautiful hair that I am complimented upon quite often. Also, I started to shower less as I dated more. I learned more about how to take care of my hair and that transitioned to me showering less overall. The girls also went up in quality as well if that tells you anything.

Most stinky people I would imagine would respond they shower every day. Stinky people are just that: stinky. A shower helps but your body grows used to it.

If you can balance not showering with your stink, then you're golden. The hardest part is breaking the habit cause your skin is just so used to it and you'll "feel" dirty for like a week or so for each day you extend your average schedule.
