That is less than 30k a year. Which is a giant pile of bullshit. Should be getting way more than that. Seems like a statistical anomaly to most government budgets, and needs to be higher to serve as a reminder.

In the history of the world, probably only baby boomers and maybe some of X thought this. Any time else in history, kids are there only due to the desire to fuck. Hell, the Romans drove a plant extinct with their need for birth control.

The US also has 'salaried - non-exempt' which would require the employer to pay for time above 40 hours. Manufacturing jobs aren't allowed to be exempt from overtime pay. It is generally white collar workers that are allowed to be exempt from overtime pay.

Dungeons & Dragons (2000)

One of the few movies I've gotten more than a few minutes into, but stopped watching. Seem to remember my breaking point being when some female char was supposed to be struggling to crawl forward, but instead looked like she was swimming on the floor. Seems to me the actors aren't bad, but the director must have been.

Is it due to all the sand they have? It's coarse.

I would like to point out that they did ask for permission. Though obviously they didn't ask for permission from every government in the world, nor did they ask the astronomy community.

Really depends on the religion. There are some religions that aren't organized at all, and are fully self practiced. They don't require things to be sold.

The religion of capitalism is a different beast though. I would say that people need things to celebrate in life though, or they tend to get very hostile. It seems to me that the more communal an event is the better the effect is on society, as people can set aside a lot of grievances for the festivities.

Spiderman 2 and Mario Bros Wonder.

Mainly Spiderman, but play the other when my daughter is playing her SM2 game.

They towed the boat out of the environment.

Clearly is is only (top-quality) muscle for the dictator of the galaxy.

You can drive for four hours and still be on I-5 in LA.

I don't understand this. And not saying it to stir up hate, or troll. This came up for me, I closed the pop-up, and watched the video with no ads. It only added a single click to the whole thing. And they've since gone away for me. Don't know why they stopped, though they have.
