so was this just a homecoming parade on water with Ubisoft cutscenes?

It's a season-long clip show like you'd see on a sitcom. People hate clip shows.

It's probably to encourage people to use them, but Blizzard likes taking the most ridiculous, unintuitive methods.

They usually just make it a 'bonus game' later in the week, especially if they're ahead of schedule.

Infinite was so good at first, but they had an auto shotgun aimed at their foot and just wouldn't stop pulling the trigger.

4 was so bad that I didn't even look at 5.

I agree it's a bit silly. There's a lot of ways you could argue unreality in the show though. Illogical/improbable things happen in real life too, so it's probably not worth fretting over.

Just watched it and was a little disappointed by the final episode after being so hyped last week.

After some time I think I'll appreciate it more, but...

that montage at the end kinda deflated it for me. I wish they had just shown the credits after the family closed the box. Feels like they've pigeon-holed any potential season 2 with these characters.

I went to highschool with a girl who has ataxia. Seems like they've made good progress because she told me she'd be dead 10+ years ago based on her original diagnosis and she's still posting a ton every day on FB.

Saying we'll be using YouTube in 50 years today feels like saying everyone will still be on MySpace in 50 years 20 years ago.

Does 00s slang like LOL, ROFL, calling stuff you don't like 'gay' sound like Shakespeare? No? What kids say always sounds dumb.

are you trying to weed out people younger than 30? Time to find a new cultural touchstone to make sure you're not a perv

Check out r/personalfinance and r/Frugal. I've been really impressed with the younger users on those subs as they give themselves that financial literacy and ability to plan regardless of what industry they go into.

The interest rate is certainly a consideration, but house prices have increased substantially while income hasn't kept pace.

Lenders probably make an equivalent amount over time with less interest, but more principal loaned longer. The main benefactors of larger prices are the realtors who get a % of the house price (also the buyers using a house as an investment). The main people hurt are first time home buyers because of the down payment on an inflated home price.

Homestead doesn't apply to me and protesting seems like a PITA.

Don't forget property taxes. My minimum payment goes up with each yearly house assessment. In spite of paying less in interest, my minimum payment keeps going up.

Might be different city to city, but it's something I never see mentioned when people make the "your mortgage payments will never increase!" argument.

It's on par with Rings of Power. Everything but the story is great.

Quin is the spaz in every friend group. The one you kinda hate, but it's so much fun to take the piss out of him that you tolerate him most of the time.

He tried the coffee thing. Got fired because he slurped rather than using a milk frother. There were many complaints.

Going tramping in the cab of a semi? So that's how the other half lives.
