Its always interesting to me to view these sort of issues from a distance. The big thing was white flight then when the white people come back its "gentrification".

"The final step in colonization."

Its all a bit silly isn't it? The final step in colonization is us being comfortable enough to live next to 'scary' minorities? Is that really a bad thing?

Do some pushups. I've basically been doing them since I was in the army (did 4 years and got out way back in 2011) and its kept the moobs at bay at least because you've got pecks instead and it widens your frame overall so even if you gain weight you carry it better.

I still haven't gotten GTA 5 after how much goodwill GTA 4 destroyed with Rockstar. Is the game any good? 3 protagonist thing sounds weird/gimmicky. And the design/HUD interface etc seems exactly like GTA 4

I always find it weird when people hold these niche grudges against a gaming company.
This is the GTA 4 he is talking about destroying Rockstar's reputation:

Edge 10/10
Game Informer 10/10
GameSpot 10/10
IGN 10/10

The game lost some features and was a bit smaller in scope than San Andreas but it was still a solid game from the genre that got near universal praise. I'm guessing if you asked this kid why the game was so well reviewed he would go "REEEE paid off reviewers ALL OF THEM!"

..... Which FPS from the 90's?

In all seriousness though you need to play it on hard if you have ever played an FPS before.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZxIa52MyX4

This video from back when it came out explains why. The gameplay is simplistic and you really don't need to use the skyhooks or even your abilities on normal difficulty. People that play it on normal or even easy and run around gunning everything down without effort usually end up feeling like the game is way too simplistic.

Sounds like the landlords problem. I've been living rent free since March and my landlord claims that i owe him $9800 in 4 months rent. I told him to go fuck himself because California has a law in place preventingnkandlirds from evicting tenants. Besides, the government will pay for my rent anyway so I'm not worried.

Its going to catch up to you eventually. The landlord can go after your assets. If you don't have any assets you are going to have to declare bankruptcy and then you will be stuck in a situation where you have terrible credit and the places you rent from are going to want several months rent as a deposit or just straight up reject you.

That's why psychological tests are more important than drug screenings.

That's no different from prescription drugs, many of which have similar effects to marijuana. This also has nothing to do with weak will.

You're not making an argument here.

I've worked with people that had legal and illegal drugs effect their work. I didnt enjoy working with the guy who had a legal addiction to opiates any more than the guy who needed to smoke pot before work to deal with the stress.

Maybe there are a lot of people using regularly that I dont notice but honestly I think those are the types that get high because they want to rather than because they need to in order to function.

This is not true.

Many people use marijuana for medical and psychological reasons.

The issue is that if they truly need it what's going to prevent them from needing it before work or during rather than after?

Not being able to stop for long enough to get a job shows a lack of self control.
