Oh, and regarding the future of Smash... if Sakurai is done making new games, I feel it's almost a foregone conclusion that we get "Ultimate Deluxe" on the next console. There's (extremely lucrative) precedent for this now with MK8, and Nintendo won't just close the spigot on one of its most profitable franchises. The licensing is the only thing that could stop that imo, though admittedly, I don't know how massive a hurdle that actually is.

The only city I will drive in is Vegas. Put me in Boston, NY, or LA and Im fucked.
As a Vegas resident for ten years, yeah driving here is easy mode. Wide lanes and relatively easy navigation. I grew up in SoCal, so the driving here felt like a breeze by comparison.

I've driven in and around Washington DC and that honestly didn't feel too bad, but I won't even bother in NYC or Boston.

And speaking of rush hour, an old coworker of mine told me that when he lived in Atlanta, traffic got so bad that getting from one side of the city to the other could take four hours. I know Atlanta is massive, but that still sounds like bullshit. Can anyone from the area confirm if there's any truth to it?

TopicWhat exactly is the answer to landlords?
CaptainOfCrush
09/17/21 4:22:05 AM

Dissuade landlording with tax policies. Get rid of 1031 exchanges, make tax depreciation on real estate more restrictive, eliminate the ability to utilize passive losses on real estate, and raise tax rains on capital gains generated by real estate.

If you alter the tax laws to make it a less attractive investment... fewer people will invest in it. Fewer people treating houses as a business investment will mean more people treating them as principal residences to actually live in.

It's not a perfect solution and will take a while to see real results, but it's actually attainable and almost certainly WILL work to an extent. The "eat the rich" sentiment is comparatively much more pie-in-the-sky.

Have you heard people say this? How true is it?
CA is a massive state and has lots of comparatively affordable housing if you choose to live in the sticks, but for the three major areas that make up the heart of SoCal (Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego - where nearly half the state's population live), that's generally not true. The cost of housing is prohibitive there. It's obviously one of the reasons why homelessness is such a major issue, and why multiple generations often live in the same home - it's extremely difficult to afford anything else.

I've never had deep dish and have no real desire to change that. It's not like it uses different ingredients than standard pizza or even really gets cooked in a different way (I know everything gets put in a deep pan, but that's hardly a radical way of preparing pizza)... it's just the re-balance of ingredients that seems kinda gross and ruins at least part of what makes regular pizza so great.

Yeah, the places that offer real margheritas in the US are the ones usually charging $16 for a personal sized pie. It tastes good, but to me, pizza is one of those foods where even the cheapest stuff is tasty enough that I have a hard time justifying triple the price for something smaller.

Though I'll say the first time I tried a margherita was at a roadside pizza wagon in southern Utah of all places, and it was so delicious that it immediately became a favorite (surprisingly cheap, too). I make it a point to hit up that wagon any time I'm in the area.

I had it once and the smell was unpleasant, but I enjoyed the unique sweet/bitter flavor. It's amazing to think that something that custardy and strange is a natural fruit.

The cost is prohibitive though, at least here in the states. The single fruit I bought was $25 (since a durian has five edible segments, it was five bucks per "custard pod"), and it can get way more expensive than that.

Truffle is the thing that first comes to mind. Alone, it's obviously not a dish, but it has become so ubiquitous with haute cuisine that I at least want to know what the real thing smells like.

Men who are compelled to cheat are more likely to keep it hidden as part of a double life. It's easier for them to have one or several extramarital affairs while still returning to their wife (hence the term "side chick" being way more common than "side guy" or whatever).

It's generally not the same for women. If they're unsatisfied with their spouse, it's more likely they want to leave said spouse completely, not simply be contended with secret sex from another person.

Something similar did. I was buying some stuff from a small-time card shop, and the cashier/owner did the math incorrectly and undercharged me. I corrected him, and he was so appreciative of my honesty that he actually gave me a *bigger* discount than I would have gotten had I stayed quiet. It was like a scene out of a hokey kids show.

This was the first non-Pokemon RPG I ever beat. I played the living hell out of it, exhausting all dialogue options and immersing myself in the world completely. I felt the story was excellent in and of itself, but when I remember that this game released while George Lucas was spewing out the prequel trilogy (this was at least a decade before those films came to be re-evaluated with memetic fondness), it makes it all the more special.

KotOR was the most "Star Wars" thing of that era.
