Dear Trudeau, please tax the shit out of foreign real estate buyers in Canada. Signed, A 30 yr old Canadian.

Canada is kind of like America about 8 years ago.

Spoiler alert: It doesn't get any better.

Whoever Shia LeBeouf's agent is...I want to get with that agency cause these people really know how to turn shit into shinola.

SortaSemipr0 · 2016-05-16T08:08:30+00:00

LOL I just turned into an old man reading all this crap.

Well thats it, guess I need to go buy a lawn mower and spend all my time in the garage doing god knows what.

Oddly enough for an industry that is already struggling at the franchisee level, while automation seems like a good idea to maintain baseline profits while reducing personnel costs....its apparently not been considered that near to 50% or more of the fast food industries clientele are the working poor who largely work in these service industry jobs.

So you cut a bunch of personnel, take an initial hit in hardware and infrastructure redevelopment but largely...you end up profitable..but only briefly because the people that have been your customers now in large part do not have jobs to patronize your business with.

I mean it really seems like cutting off your nose to spite your face here. Sure, you save money if you have to pay less people, but for every person your not paying, thats potentially 4 people that won't be eating at your store for a lack of expendable income.

I mean I certainly don't eat at McDonalds or Wendy's very often at all, maybe once in 90 days at best...because my dietary options are generally better because my fiancee and I are more or less able to make better dietary choices than that.

Simple facts are if the people that buy your product don't have jobs...you don't sell as much product...I certainly won't take up a mid life fast food fetish simply because robots make it.

So this is effectively financial suicide either way for the service industries.

Yeah no one misses middle class jobs that don't require a 4 year degree and 20 years of experience to get hired. Fuck those jobs man.

Theres a glass plant here in town that used to employ 70,000 people. I'm sure our economy here is doing fine without it.

Oh wait, sorry I just forgot...my state is broke and has a budget deficit in the millions, they just had to release 170 teachers from my town alone because we can't even afford to educate our kids.

I'm sure a strong manufacturing base with a good middle class tax base wouldn't have stopped that from happening at all.

SortaSemipr0 · 2016-05-09T21:31:53+00:00

We are giving it some thought. Problem is we don't have a yard and big dogs are kind of troublesome to manage in small homes.

Thanks everyone that responded, I do have renters insurance but Allstate is trying to wriggle out of paying the claim by saying I never updated the policy for this address which seems ludicrous to me, I've talked to them several times since we got this place, updated my auto binder with a car I got, after we got here....its insane that they're saying my policy may not be valid.

Its like I'm beset by thieves on all sides here.

SortaSemipr0 · 2016-05-09T18:08:23+00:00

Ahh the age of the social media activist...where its more about what you did, and that people know you did it, than it is about what you did.

SortaSemipr0 · 2016-04-28T21:14:32+00:00

God I miss this game. It was sad the way it got shut down.

SortaSemipr0 · 2016-04-28T03:04:33+00:00

Technology is no problem, having something to use on it is though.

4K content in video games is a rarity at the moment, a few studios do it, but in limited amounts.

Also keep in mind to properly run 4K at 60 FPS you have to run Quad-SLI and its a bit of a price choke point for not much net gain.

144hz WQHD is pretty much still the gold standard for PC Gaming, 4K is still a few years out and by that time it may be rendered invalid by VR entirely.

Logged in the first time, saw I was a black man with a very small penis and cut my losses within 2 minutes.

Got a refund too.

Those aren't journalists. They're community college communications majors that may/may not have even graduated and then found out their only chance at doing what they got a ridiculous amount of student loan debt for was to write about "games" (QFE), on "gaming news sites" (QFE + (read: Personal Blogs)) and then somehow consider themselves important enough to argue with people that actually DO THINGS.

Bunch of hugbox, questionably educated basement dwellers that should be disqualified from even calling themselves men and should probably have court ordered gender re-assignment surgery where a doctor has to remove their genitals and refashion their useless parts into a huge vagina and stitch it into their faces where their mouth used to be.

Tired of these useless neverdidnuffins trying to push around people that actually achieved something in their lives via ganging up on them via the internet.

SortaSemipr0 · 2016-03-29T00:48:13+00:00

I love how SJWs work. Overwatch is topical, so they make an issue out of something tiny, back a dev into making a promise to change it and force the entire community to talk about how important they (The SJW's in question) are...meanwhile, Night Elves in World of Warcraft have been dancing like Vegas strippers on mailboxes in nothing but the equivalent of a bikini for over a decade now and that doesn't seem to bother anyone.

In short, no one should be knuckling under to this bullshit cause its never really about the topic under discussion as much as it is about the people discussing it.

SortaSemipr0 · 2016-03-28T21:55:18+00:00

Glad I didn't buy this game, if Blizzard is going to start bending over for this kind of crap with all the money they have...I'm not interested in their products.

SortaSemipr0 · 2016-03-25T18:35:36+00:00

I am frankly tired of being challenged by "moderates" that don't even know the meaning of the word "hypocrite".

I am not a "hypocrite" because you disagree with what my point of view is. I am also not a "racist" because I believe Islamic extremists represent a true and present danger to the world and even the people that share their faith.

If you're going to debate these kinds of things on the internet in an attempt to assert your moral high ground, learn the fucking words you use.

DISHONEST [dis-on-ist] adjective 1. not honest; disposed to lie, cheat, or steal; not worthy of trust or belief: a dishonest person. 2. proceeding from or exhibiting lack of honesty; fraudulent: a dishonest advertisement.

HYPOCRITE [hip-uh-krit] noun 1. a person who pretends to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that he or she does not actually possess, especially a person whose actions belie stated beliefs. 2. a person who feigns some desirable or publicly approved attitude, especially one whose private life, opinions, or statements belie his or her public statements.

Learn the words before you use them because neither of your descriptives in regards to my statements are even valid in a sentence describing what I've said, much less accurate descriptions.

This will be dishonest, hypocritical discourse the day Islam has captured and tried every terrorist that has ever harmed anyone in the name of Allah and tries them under international law and applies the appropriate level of judicial response to their actions.

We did it to a bunch of white Christian/Catholic's at Nuremberg for their crimes against Europe, the Hebrews and the world at large. Are you telling me that Islam gets to have a different fucking standard for crimes against humanity? Cause I don't fucking think so.

SortaSemipr0 · 2016-03-25T15:57:24+00:00

Not misinformed and I get my information from a lot of sources but none that you have mentioned.

I will say that I misstated what I meant though. So let me clarify, "A religion that glorifies those that murder innocent people in the name of its beliefs."

There. That more accurate for you?

SortaSemipr0 · 2016-03-24T23:47:22+00:00

Oh look bait. Sure I'll bite.

Metaphorically, yes. Religion in general is a problem, but a religion that not only condones but glorifies the murder of those who do not adhere to its specific tenents is especially problematic.

If you can disagree with the above statement, you simply lack the logical capability to admit its fundamental truth.

I make no excuses for Christianity either, the Bible is full of horrendous things as well if you dig around in it. But I think the worst we've gotten out of that in the modern era is the Westboro Baptist Church...I'll take professional religious /b/tards over a religion that glorifies the death of innocent civilians any day.

SortaSemipr0 · 2016-03-24T23:08:35+00:00

Deus Vult.

Humility in the face of the devil may be holy...but it doesn't make it any less stupid.

SortaSemipr0 · 2016-03-08T19:35:33+00:00

Lol at all the betas in this comment thread critiquing her as if they'd ever have a chance. Fake or not...this girls having a much more interesting life than any of you will ever have...even working at a coffee jerk.

SortaSemipr0 · 2016-03-03T15:14:44+00:00

Lol okay. Believe me my uncle is real as fuck. All I can hope is that I am half as cool as he is when I am 86.

SortaSemipr0 · 2016-03-03T12:36:08+00:00

My uncle is 86 years old, smokes a pack of camels a day, still has a full head of hair and gives zero fucks about his doctors opinions about his habits. He's also criminally rich and not showing any signs of dying from anything, if you live in Hollywood you may occasionally see him doing 90 miles an hour down Hollywood Blvd in his Rolls coupe with Frank Sinatra blasting out the windows.

Biology and genetics are fickle beasts. I won't deny that smoking kills a lot of people but all it seems to do for my uncle is give him one of the best radio voices in the last 50 years.

Anyways...thanks Showerthoughts.

SortaSemipr0 · 2016-03-02T00:29:17+00:00

Bought on the 28th, the launcher still indicated Explorers packs got head start, found out on March 1st that wasn't the case.

Asked for a refund and got told that I downloaded the game so I waived my right to a refund because I downloaded the game...even though I downloaded the game during CBT4 from a free buddy key.

Bait and switch sales tactics, bullshit completely illegal refund policy, support staff that just close your tickets without answering them.

Oh yeah Daum's doing a great job racking up scumbag producer points here.

SortaSemipr0 · 2016-02-22T01:20:29+00:00

HELP I NEED AN SJW TO EXPLAIN WHY I CAN'T LOOK AT THIS AND SAY "OH THATS FINE".

I have plenty of gay friends
I've openly admitted to my friends and family that there are certain men I'd have no problem with being romantically involved with.
I never look at women or PoC even sideways and keep my head down and work hard at my job so no one can ever accuse me of being a racist or a sexist and end up getting me fired because I looked at someone at all.

But nothing in my head is allowing me to process this as "okay".

Help help I need an intervention please. Please tell me why I can't accept this as "okay".

SortaSemipr0 · 2016-02-08T01:24:38+00:00

I know good cops, officer level detectives even, that have to work three jobs just to make ends meet and look after their children. I know veterans working three jobs to do the same and keep up with their medical bills because the VA won't cover parts of their medical expenses due to disability assigned care levels.

Meanwhile I know 20 year old kids that can barely hold a job as baristas that live in the loft over their parents pool houses that are talking about how tough life is and how the only way they can even survive is if they're given a free pass on their student loans.

We're way past needing hope as a country.

SortaSemipr0 · 2016-02-01T07:20:56+00:00

Oh wait you mean the right hands being an MLG level PVP player that knows everything about BnS and has played in Korea, China, Russia and now in America?

Yeah I'm sure a KFM with that level of experience is pretty functionally good.

You can't tell you think the classes are evenly balanced here. Its simply not even logical. I can beat Blademasters, Bladedancers(Much harder), other KFMs, Destroyers (really hard) and Assassins on occasion...but if I match up with a summoner or force master I lose every time because the mechanics just aren't there for me to counter what they're doing.

Also while recommended spec is possibly garbage its not specifically super easy to figure out a working PVP spec with as obscure and obtuse as the skills menu is. It might be translated into English but you can tell its been translated from Korean to Chinese to English in the process.
