It’s not about hating the guy on the other side because someone told you to. I mean, you should hate someone because they’re an asshole, or a pervert, or snob, or they’re lazy, or arrogant or an idiot or know-it-all. Those are reasons to dislike somebody. You don’t hate a person because someone told you to. You have to learn to despise people on a personal level. Not because they’re red, or because they’re blue, but because ya know them, and you see them every single day. And you can’t stand them, because they’re a complete and total fucking douchebag.

Seven deadly sins uses a lot of biblical and mythical influences.
Trinity Blood uses the papal state as a government.
Hetalia Axis powers uses mythical representations of countries as characters, this might be a stretch.

That’s how live service games work. The vast majority don’t make money. It’s a go viral or die market.

Recognization obviously.

Maybe one day enough younger people will be in elected that understand computers aren’t magic. There’s no fundamental difference between selling a DVD and a digital movie, from a legal perspective.

Majesty.

It’s a strategy simulation game, a bit like an RTS, but you can’t directly control units.

Instead all units follow general archetypes. Rogues generally won’t spontaneously help you but will do most anything for money. Warriors will seek out monsters and lairs that have been discovered. Rangers will explore the map. Units will also do things like buying potions or upgraded equipment based on their class and intelligence.

As the player you choose what buildings to place and can offer rewards for exploring an area or killing something.

There was a sequel, but it’s a significantly worse game than the original.

This has one of the best boards in my collection.

But think of your sense of accomplishment in getting the legendary ending.

The real power of the NRA is their membership is mostly reliable voters.

Less than you would think, but it also depends on how you contact them. A physical call is way more powerful than an email. 10 people passionate enough to call can easily translate to 1k people passionate enough to vote about it.

Lease has a specific term, generally long. Rent implies short term or indefinite length.

After Harley there’s not much point in worrying about crazy.

Lio Partagaz the ISB leader in Andor. He is an amazing example of the extreme competency of the empire, and why they should be feared. If the empire was full of the bumbling idiots depicted in most of the media, they wouldn’t be an empire.

True, especially “agents” that only use one or two companies.

This is why you should get insurance through an independent agent. There are companies you’ve never heard of that do auto/home/life insurance for better rates. The same is true of mortgages.

I don’t understand the love for white devices. Thanks to everyone paying a premium price for an inferior color.

A mainframe computer is probably still processing your paycheck in either your company or the bank.

Barely anything isn’t nothing, they still have predators.

Nothing is going to happen to social security, at least for the old people. If you’re in your 30s or less, it might not exist by the time you’re eligible, but that has little to do with trump.

10s of Thousands of people motivated by not getting a week or so of pay because you couldn’t get your act together is bad for reelection prospects.
