Most of us were young or young-ish, and there was no Netflix back then. We didn't really have the option of buying/streaming from the beginning or waiting until CN randomly decided to start the show over.

If you were half interested in a show, you either jumped in where it was or just missed out.

Dragon Ball actually saw air on American TV before DBZ showed up, so some had experience with Goku beforehand.

You are right. I wasn't really reading what you said because it's all babbling to me. It was a simple example of how easy $800 can come by. I do not understand people like you who thinks $800 is for rich people. If you can't even afford $800 then may be just play cheaper games.

If you dont have other bills, maybe $800 is simple to come by. Its not that $800 is for rich people. But thats a big purchase to most people. Most people dont have $800 of play money a month. I dont understand you who thinks that people who pay bills and stuff will always just have $800 to do whatever with. Its easy to come by $800. But it doesnt matter if you month rent is bills is about twice as much. And that makes ok sense to say if you cant afford $800, just play cheaper games. It just sounds like you either have no responsibilities, or you have much more money than the average person...

You realize you can set some money aside right? Even if you don't have $800 per month of play money if you have say $150-200 of play money saving up for 4 months gets you that $800. It's not like you need to buy a PC every 4 months or something it's a purchase most make ever 3-4 years or longer.

But after revisiting Kaylas pics... I might make a baby with that one. Might. That tongue of hers is hot af.

Part of that probably comes down to metabolism and how young they are, the process varies on how easy it is depending. Also another factor is how hard they work to trim down via exercise, what they eat etc..

Given their writing on GoT, I'm not expecting much tbh. They seemed to have done well with adapting source material, but shit the bed when it came time to do any actual writing. So, if they're adapting something into a show for Netflix, there might be hope, but if they're doing something original, I've got no hope.

The solution there is to go looting through a library to find another book series they can adapt.

But Netflix has been hurt so badly by rights issues and people "owning" IP taking it and leaving their platform, so they have a vested interest in seeing new property being developed for them and them alone (that they can keep forever), they might be hesitant about just adapting yet another book series. They might want only original ideas - and that might bite them in this case.


Yeah, that's why they've been pushing their originals so much. I think Orange is the New Black has been their most successful adaptation, but that's mostly original afaik, since the book isn't that long iirc.

House of Cards did very well for them though it had a pretty lackluster final season. They also like originals because they can put the content up on their site forever, people get pissy when Netflix loses shows like Friends and Seinfeld but a show like Stranger Things will be available to watch on Netflix forever.

Kids have harmed parents over stuff like that. Not to say a punch in the face wouldn't lead to the same result but before spanking was a sin, kids didn't act like they do today. Hell even back when I was in school some people were real shitsticks with attitude because they said stuff like 'you can't do anything to me' to staff.

You are basing that off the few reports we get on GameFAQs about a kid going crazy and killing or hurting his parent because they hid the Xbox or something or grounded him from it. I think kids like that are in the vast minority, I mean if that is the vast majority this country is fucking screwed because these same people will take rejection very poorly and may do something rash.

I don't think the average kid is going to kill his mom or dad or even attack them with a weapon intending to seriously harm them because they hid his Xbox. Shit one time way back I was grounded from TV and Video Games for a few months, I didn't go postal and do something crazy because of that.

Keep in mind that if this continues to happen assuming Amazon finds out that they are eventually being delivered they might flag the account. Amazon does that stuff to prevent everyone from complaining about every order being a problem and trying to get a bunch of shit for free.

Now that stuff happening rarely is no problem, but people have taken advantage of Amazon before by using dishonest methods.

Maybe. But its also not his fault. He waits for a while. And the post office is the one losing the packages. And sending that information back to Amazon. And its his account on Amazon telling him to call back in like 3 days. So, if they flag his account, he just stops using Amazon, I would guess. Its a good site because of pretty good prices (sometimes) and it has like everything you could order on the site. But if they keep using USPS and they keep losing packages, maybe he wouldnt mind having to stop. Plus, its not his fault they lose his packages. And then deliver weeks late... And technically, of Amazon does call his local USPS or whoever lost the package and they really say they lost it, I mean, then they would know its not really his fault... But I dont know how they do stuff there, so...

I am just saying how it looks to Amazon, again they base this more on how many packages have problems so if they deliver him 10 things over a 3 month period and every package gets lost by USPS it looks pretty bad to their company especially if all of those packages show up weeks later. I ship stuff by USPS all the time and I lose probably 1-2% of packages that I ship out.

Edit: Own goals happen, so I would not cut the runner unless there was malicious intend and it is a recurring thing.
Cutting the tackler depends on the nature of the tackle and how he treated the runner afterwards.

In Soccer own goals are more common because of deflections and unlucky bounces by the ball in American Football they almost never happen it's like 1 in 10k+ games, you have to accidentally run the wrong way to get one and even then they call it a safety not a touchdown. A safety is worth 2 points for the opponent but you do have to kick the ball to the opposing team to give them possession afterwards.

A safety is just a punt kick isn't it?

No safety is when you are on offense and are either tackled in the end-zone or run into the end-zone intentionally and either get tackled or throw the ball away. It's a very rare scoring play though because it only ever happens when the offense is backed up on their own goal line and get tackled there or someone does something stupid like running the wrong way.
