I mean 50k/year is pretty typical for someone with only a B.S. It's not really a difficult goal, but I'm surprised how much it increases your lifestyle.


I wish that were true were I live. 16K is about the norm for a B.S. degree here, assuming the job hires above minimum wage.

As long as the law applies to all religions equally, it is not a state endorsement of religion, and therefore not a violation of separation of church and state.

Now if they were to say only lift restrictions on Christian churches, or only Buddhist monasteries, then you could make a case.

Its not like out politicians are going to get any more corrupt, and I seriously doubt church money is going to compete with the mega corp money they already get. Honestly, that's probably the only reason they would list these restrictions, just a little more money in their pockets, from stupid people thinking they are making a difference.

I have a Bachelors in Pre-Law. Unfortunately, the job market around here has continued a downward dive. Most law offices around here want 8 years of experience in the field, the few that would hire me, wanted me to work minimum wage.

I would have kept going for a master or law school, but all my savings, and the entirety of my credit reserves, went to medical debt. And I am still trying to dig myself out of that hole.

So, my degree has done nothing for me thus far.

Couldn't vote in poll. Too many games that were influential to my childhood. Desperately needed an "all of the above" one. Hopefully this comes with Some of the killer SNES RPGS. Chrono Trigger, FF 2 & 3 (Or 4 and 6) andwhy not include some more obscure titles. NBA Jam, Ogre Battle, River City Ransom, Actraiser. just too many titles to count. And if they don't put Megaman X on it... there'd be hell to pay! Kidding.


Eh, the problem with the poll is that I pretty much already own all of the options.

As for the things you listed, you need to remember that Nintendo may not necessarily want to pay 3rd parties for their content so that'll be a bit slimmer. Plus RCR was the NES, wasn't it?


Also there are better versions of some of those games out there. DS and PSP versions of FF4, GBA version of FF6, and DS version of CT for example,

Actually sounds like a rare sleep disorder related to waking dreams and sleep paralysis (I forget its name). In Asain and other Eastern countries, the afflicted usually see ghosts and demons. In western countries, the afflicted usually see aliens, zombies, or other more popular western creatures.

It is a really terrifying disorder for those that have it, and its easy to see why those that do might feel they are haunted.

TopicMarvel Versus DC
AverageBoss

The DCAU pretty much guarantees DC has the top spot in animation.

Marvel is far superior in the live action movie department.

Both have had ups and downs with all their characters in their hundreds of comics series.

Marvel has done a far better job at making multiple characters mainstream though, including c-listers like the Guardians. DC has only really succeeded on that front with Batman, and has consistently written Superman so poorly in movies that every now hates him and completely misunderstands his character.

Setting a sign on fire is bad now? I thought it was freedom of speech.


They have every right to do it, and I'll never argue against that, the point is that they oppose the freedom of speech, which earns them the labels of regressive leftist, pseudo-progressive, etc.


Nah, I'm pretty sure it's the conservatives against freedom of speech. For 8 years they shit on Obama, and that was ok, but now that they got their guy in office it's suddenly wrong to say anything negative about the Orange Menace.


Considering anyone who said anything negative about Obamas policies was immediately labeled a racist, both sides are filled with hypocritical assholes.

I normally think helly has terrible opinions, but I agree on FFX being a very subpar game. It had a decent battle system, and everything else was meh, to straight trash. So many plot holes, so many plot points that are repeated over and over (how many times did Yuna get kidnapped again?), and all but one or two of the characters are completely one dimensional.

And 13 just took everything wrong with 10, made those things worse, then broke the things that worked in 10.

I'd be interested in a comic/movie/series where all the shit in the Marvel universe is going on at the same time, and everything getting fucked up and worse because of it.

Punisher shooting lowlifes, Spiderman fighting his enemies, demi-gods fighting other demi-gods.

Like three months later the whole world is post-apocalyptic due to the loss of life and infrastructure. All the while the heroes are mostly oblivious to it all or figure that everything will be fixed when villains stop wrecking stuff.

Eventually heroes and villains start to kill each other off, humanity is just clinging to the rubble hoping it will stop, or a quick death will come for them.

At the end its just one hero left and a ruined world.


Closest thing I remember is a series where (I think) Magneto wipes out most of Earths population and orchestrates the deaths of many of the worlds heroes. I think Wolverine, Thor, and Dr. Doom end up stopping him in the end, though at least Wolverine dies in the process and the world is still messed up beyond reason.
