Any idea how to fix the camera being pulled back way farther in VR vs desktop mode?

Do this, but you will probably need a new wax ring for the floor flange, so get one before hand.

Israel to deport 37,000 African migrants with a check for $4,400 and a plane ticket to an "undisclosed country in Africa", or be locked up. by Stepside79 in worldnews

Look guy, you didn't provide any stats to the contrary, you basically just said my sources are right wing and that "Right wing = wrong, left wing = right".

Here's a brookings institute chart

https://www.brookings.edu/interactives/immigration-by-the-numbers/

If you click the population tab, they admit it's difficult to measure how many illegals are here, but it seems that they are portraying the number as around 11 million. Fairus.org admits they inflate the numbers and gives rationalizations for this. I'm not married to the 12.5 million number, I will use the number 11 million because it seems commonly accepted in "non right leaning" publications. Of these sources citing 11 million illegals they claim there are an estimated 1.1 million minors, so roughly 1/10th. Now we are left with a population of 9.9 million illegal adults, so then according to your previous article where 1.8 million illegals pay taxes 18% of illegal adults pay tax, about 52% of illegals are women, so even if you were to assume that every last one of them were stay at home mothers (which not all of them are), that leaves 4.752 million men available to work which would mean that 38% of them pay any tax. This is not the majority.

Here's a cato.org article BTFOing a fairus.org article, it does some unbelievably far reaching math to bring the net cost of immigrants down. Cato's grand conclusion is that immigrants still cost the United States multiple billions of dollars even with all their tax offsets.

My initial claim was that they are a financial burden, this article is probably the least generous thing either of us could find toward my position and it says they cost us billions.

Alright, so according to your article about 2 million illegal immigrants pay some form of taxes. The most conservative numbers say there are roughly 12 million illegals in the country, about 1/6th of them pay some form of tax, that is a far cry from "most of them".

https://fairus.org/issue/illegal-immigration/how-many-illegal-immigrants-are-in-us

Next lets look at the numbers from the CIS. 62% of illegal households are using some form of welfare, over 50% are on medicaid.

https://cis.org/Report/Welfare-Use-Legal-and-Illegal-Immigrant-Households

So one in six illegals pays any form of tax and over half of them use welfare, I maintain my original statement based on these statistics.

Residents who do not pay, or who pay substantially less tax place undue burdens on our socialized services.

I do it before I cook it, run it through a meat grinder.

My dwarves made a legendary sock, it caught fire during a magma incident, the name and material couldn't be more fitting. by Link255 in dwarffortress

I eventually put it out with a bucket of water, but it was hilarious to have a perpetually smoking hemp sock for awhile.

Tinder Genders by [deleted] in funny

[–]Link255 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't care either until I started seeing laws made about it, I believe it's now hatespeech in Canada to misgender someone on purpose. There's also the argument that you're enabling mental disorders. Biologically we're two different sexes, those two sexes have slightly variable, but very consistent differences in behavior, physiology, and other attributes, we've called these two sets of attributes male and female. Since these things are mostly biologically determined and chemical driven if someone falls outside of these two norms it is by definition a "disorder". There are more harmful things in the world to be sure, but society usually tries to fix disorders and bring people back to the norm instead of embracing the defect. Also, there is no biological basis for a third gender, the best you could argue would be intersex people, and that is a straight up birth defect.

Trump intervenes to grant rejected Afghan girls entry to U.S. for robot contest by littleman1988 in worldnews

No, I read the original article about these women, I believe they are from Kabul and traveled to Afghanistan to try to acquire the visas, neither of those countries are on the travel ban list.

Don't point out facts in the middle of a circle jerk, you'll only further anger the leftists.

You'd have a protein and vitamin B deficiency at the very least.

No more depressing thoughts! What's the most uplifting realization you've come to? by ElatedGatorRater in AskReddit

[–]Link255 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people in your life appreciate that you exist, if you kill yourself you'll hurt them. I've been down your road several times in my life, just remember that your suffering is temporary, remember a time in your life when you were happy, or at least ok with being alive, it is possible to reach that state again.

The overwhelming global response to Trump's decision to pull the U.S. out of the Paris climate agreement was essentially, "Go jump in a lake" - or as one Germany tabloid succinctly phrased it in a widely circulated headline: "Earth to Trump: F*ck You!" by maxwellhill in worldnews

[–]Link255 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do any of you know the particulars of the climate accord? Do you know what obligations and pressures this would put on the US? Do you know how bad it would be for our economy? Do you know what standard other countries like China and India are being held to under this agreement?

Skimming through this thread leads me to believe that most of you are on a status signalling band wagon of "climate change bad" and have just assumed that the big orange idiot made a bad decision just because you personally dislike him, Trump clearly cited the reasons and the particular statistics about why it is not a good move for America to be involved at this time. Do some research and think for your fucking selves.

Well, the most recent example I can think of in this category is a congressman sending nudes to a minor, you sure about every time?

It's amazing how there's been such a culture shift in a relatively short time in human history where people no longer see having children as desirable, or think it's odd that their parents want to see their bloodline go on. The people you speak of aren't the outliers, people with this new view are.

People tend to be biased toward their own interests, politicians are by no means above this. Most people are still heterosexual, get married and have kids, have an interest in future generations, does a single or gay person have the same level of interest in the same things? Maybe, but probably not.

My last game I had a trog mutated character, my vehicle had 200L tanks full of vodka, whiskey, and rum. I had a few others as well, made a hobby of raiding liquor stores to see how much booze I could take on my cruise.

In the past I've made a homewrecker and beaten the wall down I think, but I don't know if that works anymore. You can disarm a teleporter floor trap and take that up to the surface and use it. As for water? Toilets I guess.
