You can play it for free sans the newer sprite graphics.

You take the role of a single character to explore the whole world. You can take quests, follow rumors, explore fortress mode forts that you made, etc. Combat is controlled directly, you can target individual body parts with wrestling or weapon attacks. And more.

But, it might fuck up Davis’s appeals.

That wasn’t part of the holding in Burdick. It was part of the dicta according to a Federal Appeals Court.

1. There’s this idea going around that accepting a pardon is an admission of guilt. This is false and there is a court decision saying so.
2. This is a commutation, not a pardon.

Eye contact is basic human communication of “I’m cool with you.” Don’t rely on it to express romantic interest. Avoiding eye contact can express a lot of things, most of them negative. Sure, you can express more with a look but it can come off creepy if you don’t have a rapport with that person.

Make eye contact when talking to or listening to all people you like. That’s just basic social interaction. If you’re interested in someone romantically, tell them—ask them out.

There’s no secret handshake or look. Talk to them.

This is a terrible message.

Dude, don’t bring your negativity into other people’s threads. It’s bad enough in your own posts.

You should be reading the replies and heeding the advice here. It would, honestly, help you.

Elks are the same in many(most?) chapters—a higher power whatever that means to you. Still, it’s a shame. A friend wanted me to join but I can’t be bothered with requirements that are silly/force me to express beliefs I don’t believe.

Remember when conservatives complained about the nanny state?

You’re right. I mistakenly came to conflate ETF with passive.

How so?

Probably, good… for investors. It’s better to invest in ETFs over mutual funds for many/most people. A mutual fund is an investment vehicle in which a manager aggregates a bunch of stocks and sells share in the group of stocks. This limits the risk and ensures more gains but the manager needs to be paid. An ETF is like a mutual fund without a manager, the choice of stocks is done automatically by computer software and tries to track the market (or market segment) as a whole. So, less money is lost to paying fund managers and the software is pretty smart.

History has shown a that, on average, automatically managed funds outperform funds managed by people.

There are a lot of people out there who think they are smarter than the market, including fund managers. They are not. If you have money to invest, like in a IRA or 401k, you should put it in ETFs.

That looks nice but it looks like it’s for Windows- only. Heroic is cross-platform.

Use Heroic. It’s GPL.

Just use Heroic launcher to play the free Epic games.

This is what happens when a person’s development is arrested in middle school and they go on to get billion dollar windfalls.

Apple has over $100B in cash. They have patents, contracts, data centers, subscriptions, products, established market, consistent sales, etc. There would have to be a drastic change to the world for that to evaporate.

Sure, some of the value is speculation on how they will do in the future but not nearly to the extent of Tesla’s valuation. Apple has ~4x the revenue of Tesla and ~2.5x the market cap.

I’d bet dollars to donuts this guy accuses other men of being “Beta”.

A box of chocolates tells you precisely what you're going to be getting.

This is probably one of the weakest arguments against this movie—and there’s plenty to criticize. Labeling the chocolates was not always a common practice. It’s something mass produced chocolates started to do. There was a time people bought from a confectioner and there wouldn’t be labels. That’s the context of the line. You can criticize this line but the labeling isn’t the problem.
