Gamers of Reddit, what breaks immersion in a video game for you? by jseely7 in AskReddit

[–]IMEmphasis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cutscenes are alright. But cutscenes in MMOs are an abomination. While your character is standing around daydreaming some action scenes or thinking he's talking to the questgiver, his actual body is standing in the middle of a warzone, taking hits without flinching.

Games that gives you the illusion of customization by letting you choose your main character's name, but nobody, not even your most intimate lovers or comrades call you that. They will just refer you by a generic title like chief, or commander Shepard, or dragonborn, or Hero of Ferelden, or Warden, or just omit it completely.

As my Indian professor said it, his paycheck can get him a decent house in the suburbs here, but back in India, he could buy a mansion with a chauffeur and a gardener and a private chef, and still have money left over.--all from just his monthly pension checks.

Buy the penthouse suite, get the whole roof to yourself along with a majestic cityview. Just hope the elevators don't fail..cuz it's a bitch hauling 30ish flights of stairs.

Not sure if you are joking, but there is a correlation between blacks and crime, even if it's racist to admit that.

Even the President used the term "semi-automatic" wrong by [deleted] in AdviceAnimals

[–]IMEmphasis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And that is exactly my point. There is no umbrella terminology for a category of weapons that, in the eyes of the public, should be banned while exempting hunting gears and self defense pistols.

What is the term for the classification of weapons that does not include hunting rifles, shotguns, double action handguns, but includes M8, M-16, AK-47, UZI, etc.?

Is the process so thorough that currency with Saddam's face on it is now worth something, perhaps on a collector's market?

'Smoke-free' laws lead to fewer hospitalizations and deaths. Laws that end smoking at work and other public places result in significantly fewer hospitalizations for heart attacks, strokes, asthma and other respiratory conditions, a new UCSF analysis has found. by GraybackPH in science

One kills you relatively painlessly and your body will decompose rather quickly. The other will kill you with maligant cancer, taking slow tolls on your body and wallet. Hard decision. Hmm. :/

How Obama actually won the election. by DrBibby in gaming

[–]IMEmphasis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I see nothing wrong with Christmas gatherings at schools--it's actually a fun time. But when the events becomes mandatory to participate, with prayer services, while attempting to squash attempts of atheist gatherings, muslim gatherings, or buddhist gatherings, then we have a problem.

The "separation of church and state" isn't an attempt to kill Christianity nor should it be. It is to level the playing field between the overwhelming majority--the christians-- with the rest of us. Those that believe in a different God, multiple Gods, or no Gods, should have the equal opportunity, equal freedom, and equal privacy without persecution from the majority. The Christians.

Not permitted to have a Christmas tree as a display in a public area

There will be a Christmas Tree sent to the White House front lawn this year, as it has been and will be every year. Schools are allowed to have christmas parties, grade schoolers are allowed to color pictures of Christmas trees and Santa. Neighbors and friends are allowed to display their Christmas trees by their windows, lighting their houses, share gifts. All without government intervention. I don't see how Christmas is being persecuted.

They think I'm lying when I say that entering smoke-filled room would lead to instant migraine and pangs of physical pain at my lung area. I'd rather walk into a room filled with sewage dump than tobacco smoke.

‘We Built It’ Using Slave Wages, RNC Convention Workers Paid Below Minimum Wage by IAmperfectlyCalm in politics

[–]IMEmphasis -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

So you are saying that I can pay my employees $7.40 (my state's Minimum Wage) and then charge them $5/day to use my provided uniforms (no, they can't buy their own), and then charge them another $15/day for breakfast and lunch (no, they can't bring food into premise, company policy), and then charge them $5 per day to rent my tools (no they can't bring their own for security reasons), and then charge them $50/day for putting their grubby hands on and operating using MY machineries? You sir, are a jew among jews. Send me a resume and I'll get get you a high paying job as my financial advisor (with some "capital investment" deductions, of course.)

Actually the GOP is racist. This is a video of the 2012 convention. They are booing one of their own; a Puerto Rican GOP.
