And wasn't that mention itself a joke about the obsession among the player base with the romances I the game?

Thanks for clarifying that you have absolutely no idea or interest in learning how inflation is calculated so I can safely ignore you.

Yeah you said that a few times on this thread. I think it's a weird view in the case of people who are likely to continue to harm people (if like SBF they show no empathy or contrition) but sure.

Why are you so motivated to comment on the case if you haven't followed it? Maybe just read and learn something.

Oh come on. It's very clear who the champions and vanguard of trickle down economics are. It's fatuous to "both sides" this issue.

You think a guy who graduated from MIT and got a job at fucking Jane Street is "stupid". No. His problem is the missing moral compass, he's got the smarts all day.

It absolutely won't cost £22 quid, that's CPI adjusted of course if you read the comment you're referring to. But yes, in real terms (asking honestly do you know what that means? your comment seems pretty ill informed) food is cheaper. So are some other items like consumer electronics. On the other hand housing and utilities (you know the majority of a household's spending) has advanced well ahead of inflation. Hence "cost of living crisis" which maybe you think is imaginary.

Worse, while average earnings have outpaced inflation the bottom end of the distribution has accrued almost none of that benefit. Massive increases in inequality mean that while for the comparatively well off (and the very well off) things are mostly fine for a sizeable chunk of society life has been getting materially harder.

Christ you sound like you like it that way.

I was really enjoying that game until the injury. Hope y'all had a great time!

His accuracy didn't wow in the bengals drive. I think the offense is going to go because the line and run game are going to be so good and play action is going to give us shot plays. If the passing game turns out to be a strength that would be a bit of a surprise to me.

The irony of complaining about lack of fast travel on patient gamers is great.

RDR2 is pretty much my all time fave because of story/character but I never liked hunting and never felt the need to do any of the myriad achievements. I really enjoyed the slow pace of the game, so often the main story feels so urgent it is totally immersion breaking to do anything other than immediately pursue your next quest objective. By contrast RDR2 there were breaks in the story that felt natural to chill in camp or explore randomly or side quest or whatever.

But they will only pay for yours if you do "enough" to pay for the previous generation in terms of qualifying years. The whole thing has been moulded into a weird reflection of the entitlement of baby boomers. Classic example of how our pseudo-democratic processes are terrible for long term planning.

It's kind of obvious that people who are successful and interested in politics would be more likely to donate to a party and also more likely to end up in the lords. But boy it smells like buying political office.
