I've been playing video games since they existed and I'm in my 50s. There are plenty of people older than me who can say the same.

Those 6 in 10 probably all live in legal states and are just used to it. Be careful where you drive with it though.

To add to what you said, it's not only the cost of autos that is higher (and that includes payments adjusted for interest rates) but also car repairs are far more expensive. Often loans on used cars, and even new cars extend beyond the warranty and when things break and it's going to be $11K to fix it, people just stop making payments and let them take the piece of shit back.

I haven't had access to a train since the 1980s when I lived in Europe.

I'd rather be in Ohio than Indiana. They're both terrible but in slightly different ways. I always cringe a little when I go into Indiana but I have been to some great concerts around Indianapolis.

I believe it's 100 miles from the border including coastlines but does not include a 100 mile radius around international airports. I don't remember the source but Ive seen a map that represented it that way.

Also worth noting, this ruling only benefits citizens in that specific district, as other districts aren't bound by its rulings. Personally I'd recommend having a 2nd device you can use to record your interactions because if they violate your rights your chances of getting their body cam video of it aren't great.

This is my experience as well. Tier 1 is awful, and it's a terrible job too.

Cincinnati isn't really rust belt, but it's about the only corner of Ohio that isn't.

I'm the 3:30am friend. I'm tired by 11 am, I'm 7hrs into my shift. If you invite me to dinner at 7:30 that's a no. How about 4:30?

Distribution is the problem. Authoritarians left and right are the problem. I work for a nonprofit that feeds the poor and temporarily under resourced and the government is our biggest obstacle.

This is literally the future Jesus' theoretical return presents but a lot of (not all) Christians aren't on board.

They won't accept large scale immigration.

That was a joke. Maybe end world hunger for a week.

Sounds like a nice build, what GPU do you have with it? I'm running an RTX 4070ti. People seemed mad at it when it released but I got mine $15 under MSRP on the day it released (plus tax exempt because it's my main video editing PC for my nonprofit).

A couple years later I'm still loving it for 1440p 144fps gaming, I run most games on ultra. It seems a good match for the 5800x, sometimes I bottleneck on GPU, sometimes CPU but most of the time neither.

Car supremecy is when there are no options but cars, and I live there.

I'll take any of those, I've got none of them so far.

I've seen lots of poor criticism of Vance but your concise little comment actually hit the nail on the head.

With the way I expect to see inflation continue along its current path, I half expect them to argue that their prices are still the same as in year 2XXX prices, adjusted for inflation.

Great response and I agree with you on both. People who showed up peacefully and broke no laws didn't get arrested on Jan 6. But neither party is going to change the law to allow protests in our statehouses.
