I'm more partial to the sustain on the RAV, but could lose myself in either.

+1 for the HSP crowd.

Sometimes it takes outings like these to really give you a deep appreciation for your lifestyle and boundaries. Unfortunately, family doesn't often understand or respect it.

Even worse

Modern red suited Santa was reimagined and heavily commercialized by Coca-Cola and Christmas was appropriated from Sol Invictus. Nobody even knows when Jesus was born.

Colonization and commercialization at their best.

Answering my own doubt. This is pulled from another post.

"This is only true if your monthly payment is lower than the monthly interest. In this case the government subsidizes and you do not accrue interest, but you also do not make progress towards your loan. In the other scenario, which happens to be my case, where the monthly payment is higher than the monthly interest, there is no subsidy, and interest accrues, but I make progress towards my loan."

How so? I am on SAVE and have been hit hard by interest since September.

I could care less about forgiveness. I knew what I was getting myself into. But 0% interest after paying a certain amount really needs to be a thing.

Many fond memories with this one. But if I could go back and experience one game for the first time again, I'd have to go with Gemstone III.

On other news, the sky is blue...

My bourbon French toast says otherwise.

You get to a point where maybe it just makes more sense? 8 billion people on this planet. 8 fucking billion. At that scale, truly what is the value of a human life? I'm neither for nor against a death penalty, but I do question at what point do we stop tolerating those who are selfish, entitled, destructive, and violent? When do we stop giving out slaps on the wrist?

We've seen similar destructive actions in the past. We all pay the price for one person's actions.

I do like the idea mentioned above though that this kid should be sentenced to seeding and tending to the growth of a forest of trees.

Maybe also have him pay for the commission of a artistic piece to stand in place of the tree.
