I still prefer to play on Hard mode.

Granted, there are limits. Like, I'll play Fire Emblem on Hard Classic Mode, but I'm not going to waste my time on Lunatic.

This world!

You make a good point.

Fatties should stay outside, where they belong.

Well she hasn't been one for very long.

Most likely case is she's lying for attention and asspats.

I would vouch for Asus or MSI.

I have an Asus myself.

Yes, a desktop is better, but if you're set on a laptop, there are valid reasons for it.

1. I dont believe she has anorexia.

2. If she is struggling with anorexia, she is absolutely kicking its ass. Total curb-stomp.

I didn't read the full article, but what I did read was pretty cringe.

It is a mistake to assume anyone selling you something is being very sincere.

Also why the hell did everyone just keep riding past.

Because they don't want to get stabbed by a crazy person too.

Of course, it drops back to sub-.70 as soon as I buy in at .72.

Well, where do you think they should have their offices?

Yeah. I went from managing about 30 accounts to 47 in the span of about a month. Supposed to be getting a few more bodies soon, but by the time they're trained, we'll be losing some more experience people.

To be honest, TBC Classic is a tempting game for me. I just can't imagine actually having the time to run dungeons, raids, etc.

What? Its conservatives that are sexist. I'm saying you can see the effect on their soul of internalizing that sexist dogma

Conservatives don't have a monopoly on sexism. Clearly.

There is a lot of overlap.

Basically, you just have to ask her out. If she really likes you, she'll make time to go.

but thats all it really is, hypotheticals.

The issue were taking isnt with the nuances of that time, its with the assumption that it was not only the sole choice, but the best choice too.

we dont really know. I can see as many arguments for why it prolonged slavery as I do for why it curbed it.

I haven't said it was the best choice, in the sense that it was ideal. My position is that it was, likely, the best realistic scenario that could be expected in 1780s United States. Compared to the supposed alternatives of another war, total collapse of the union, etc.

Rereading it I can concede that saying it "paved the way to ending slavery" may be a stretch. While an attempt to maintain the union and tabling the issue of abolition for later, it ultimately just post-poned what eventually devolved into the Civil War anyway.

Well... if the south started as its own thing, or the CSA was just allowed to split off somehow, the eventual inevitability would have been a mass slave revolt on par with Haiti, but on a much larger scale.

That is certainly a good possibility. But we are getting into a lot of hypotheticals at this point.

Which would have kicked off the Civil War which resulted in the end of slavery. ...you were saying about how the compromise actually paved the way for the end of slavery?

I think that is an optimistic assumption. You're assuming that the anti-slave states would have, or could have, gone to war to maintain a still-born union almost immediately after a difficult revolutionary war.

Zeeak4444 posted...

but now tell us how it paved the way to ending slavery.

from what you just said it did the opposite by giving slave states 3/5th more power than it did, thus likely hurting the abolishment of slavery.

The anti-slavery representatives didn't have the power to completely refuse the pro-slavery representatives and expect to preserve the union.

Do you understand how compromise works? If they drew a hard line on either ending slavery immediately or insist the slaves count for nothing, then the likely result is the union is basically stillborn.

So, they compromise with 3/5s, to try to limit the influence of slave states, and the spread of slavery into more territories, while also keeping them at the table. It was an early step to lessen the spread of slavery.

As for totally refusing to compromise, if they let slaves count as full citizens for representation, but without the accompanying rights, the slave states would've had disproportionate power and influence in the legislature.

If they insist that slaves don't count at all, then those states have less reason to negotiate at all and more reason to secede even earlier than they did.

Yeah, I got on GMG for ~$19.

I want to play it, but realistically it'll likely sit in the backlog for a while.

brestugo posted...

Or smashing slavery and ending its legacy, which the Civil War only did half of. Should have gotten it out of the way early on.

That would've been nice, sure, but it also wasn't a realistic possibility in the 1780s United States.

They were politicians with various, and sometimes conflicting, interests trying to put together and maintain a brand new country, which required compromise. The more abolitionist-minded representatives didn't have the power to just "smash slavery".

Feel insulted all you want, but he's right.

The 3/5s compromise was about the best case scenario abolishionists could realistically hope for, considering the reality of the situation at the time.

The alternative was giving the slave holding states even more power and greater influence, because they'd have counted the slave population fully for determining the number of representatives.

Well, they're both super strong, super fast, can fly, and super durable. So, it comes down to the unique powers.

Buu has stretchy, body morph powers and can turn things into candy.

Superman has super breath, X-Ray vision, and heat vision.

I'm thinking Superman.

Between those options, the suburb.

So, I like Dr Strange, but if he had shown up in the last episode to save Wanda, it literally would have ended with "A wizard did it".

Just put in zip code 41144 and look at the wages. Costco and Walmart pay $12.50 to start. No factory around here competes with that. The call centers for Amazon and AT&T pay $12.50 an hour.

The factories don't even try to compete. They know that people with little education and little social skills will take the jobs No matter what, so they pay minimum wage, or as close as they can get.

Factories in your area may be great, around here they are not. They are old, outdated, dangerous, and underpaid.

So, I did that and one of the very first results is "Plant Laborer" with a starting wage of $18 - $20 and the only requirement is a highschool diploma or GED. There's another one listed as Automotive Assembler that starts at $19.50+ an hour. And a third listing for Production Worker that starts at $17.18+ an hour.

Just pointing out that there are more profitable listings with low requirements than the ones you showed.

Well, all things being equal, maybe so.

However, realistically speaking, we have no idea what kind of butterfly-effect that kind of change might have had. There is no way to know.

Shit. If I had the money, I'd probably buy land in Hawaii too.

Probably not 1100 acres, but still.

I did end up picking Soul Hackers. It has what seems like a decent dub and is half the price of SJR.

Some combination of pepperoni, sausage, or bacon. Maybe grilled onion or spinach.

I, too, am in the camp that TS3 ended as well as the series could have and TS4 kind of shit on that ending.

Because Democrats are weak.

Its $22.49 for the deluxe edition on cdkeys.com. Steam version.

How is that game?

Its been on my Steam wishlist for a while now, but I just haven't pulled the trigger on it. heard its like weeb Dark Souls.

That does sound like a few steps further than just spanking.

I think I lean toward ice.

Random episodes of Mad at the Internet.

There does seem to be a certain kind of arrested development with the latest generation or two.

You can use BitTorrent to get crypto?

There is a BitTorrent coin. Currently worth about .007. So, not even a cent or on any of the major exchanges.

How do you guys feel about Vechain and BitTorrent? If anything?

Got a few people at work really talking up Vechain.

3 technically.

US, Kuwait and I stopped at two airports in Germany, one on my way to Kuwait and one on my way out of Kuwait.

I've visited areas across the width of the US though. More south than north though, furthest north I've been is Hershey, PA

To be fair, the US is such a large landmass and the regions are distinct enough that you could almost could them as separate countries.
