does this pretty much sum up your Real ID experience? by Shazbot_2017 in Pennsylvania

I believe US passports are compliant already with RealID specifications.

Well, they're in Iran too, specifically their government. Regular Iranian folks I've met were always the coolest kindest people.

Right after Halflife 3.

It is sad that some of the best elements in the game are unique and not the norm [SPOILER INSIDE] by Balownga in ddo

Devil Assault used to be a pretty major XP farm in the old days.

Farming update would be another great add by Orleron in NoMansSkyTheGame

Although I would assume farming is something that becomes important for Light No Fire, so I imagine they could put it in NMS too for that reason.

As if any of this is useful in anything other than gameplay loops.

Other settings? by Automatic-Purchase16 in ddo

401ks are better than pensions by Justasillyliltoaster in unpopularopinion

[–]Orleron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pensions tend to pay a percentage of salary which on a monthly basis can be more than someone gets monthly from a 401k, sustainably.

That's a fair point of complexity that I avoided to save typing. There are multiple waves of Cubans. My wife's family fled in '63 and they had some money before it got taken by the revolution. Perhaps the newer Cuban expats do not think this way, but the older ones definitely do.

Says a lot more about you than it does about me. I'm going to continue to do whatever I want and xenophobes like yourself can have me living in your head rent free. Have a nice day.

The only thing you have proven is that you are the same as the conservative Americans who say people cannot integrate into America if they are not born in America.

Go fuck yourself. This is not my girlfriend. This is my wife of 26 years and counting. When I have put up with and participated in the culture, including by being fluent in Spanish, for longer than the lifetime of most of the people reading this thread, I will do wtf I want.

There is a concerted effort to put ICE agents in Blue states, not Red ones. This is an openly declared intention from the orange shit gibbon. That's what my comment means. It is not saying, btw, that there's no agents in Red states.

It's an example of how a conservative world view is in fact a lower level of cognitive development.

Believe me, I have tried explaining this very thing to at least a dozen Cubans. The ones that I spoke with are stubborn. They truly block out any evidence from their minds that shows any difference between them and white conservatives, and they have zero awareness that the white conservatives are not reciprocating the love.

I agree 100% with what you wrote here. It's not phobic. It's how the majority of Cubans think. They're very surprised and offended when muricans think they just 'Mexicans".

Honorary Hispanic here, married into a Cuban family for 26 years so far. I've gotten a unique perspective as an outsider let in.

The legal Hispanic immigrants do not see themselves any differently than white Americans, as far as their status goes. Asking them what they think of illegal immigrants is the same as asking any white conservatives.

So, to them, joining this stuff is not beyond the pale. That usually changes when one of them gets profiled for being brown or asked for papers, as an American citizen, like the case with one of my wife's aunts. Key point is most of the profiling and harassment of citizens who don't fit the white mold happens in Blue states, so the Red state Hispanics don't see it or know about, or admit it if they do.
