its not doom and gloom? :confused_old:

I'm going to disagree with the conclusion of this thread. Americans ARE spending like crazy, but its not what we think. The WSJ has stated that Americans are recklessly spending when in fact most people are hurting financially. But hey. Just put it on credit. Americans are spending like...

The guy in the article is 60. He will probably be around for a decade or probably two.

Depends on where you're stationed. NYC can be difficult. Working as a cop at a shore town in NJ is cake. In the winter its dead, and in the summer they have to deal with tourist. I'd rather be a cop in a wealthy shore town like Stone Harbor, or a middle class town like Wildwood Crest NJ than...

I taught in South Korea for many years. It was nice to pay 0 US federal and state taxes. The money that I would have had to pay in taxes wentt into my investments. Imagine that. You actually get to keep most of your money. I paid a 10% VAT tax I believe. Somewhere in that area.

That is a great point. I would think that the majority of cc debt is carried over month to month. The reason I say this is because many Americans are not doing so good financially. And, the truth is many people have difficulty delaying gratification, and they don't really understand how...

And yet, most Americans are going to shop for Christmas like they are financially sound. The truth is many Americans are just going to further put themselves in horrible credit card debt because its the holidays...

What do the Buddhist say about karma now...

With anti-semitic behavior at an all time high around the world, I wonder if this is what HAMAS was going for? To have the world hate Jews. Seeing bombs dropped on little babies, young children and mothers, fathers who are innocent can't be a good look for Israel.

The trailer looks really good. Can't wait for the movie to come out. Old school wrestling fans unite!

Sam Bankman-Fried, co-founder of FTX, who swindled billions from investors is found guilty. Max sentence could be 120 plus years in medium security prison. How much jail time we can only guess. Sam will find out his fate in mid March, 2024. My guess is he will spend at least 50 years in jail.

Nope. As others have said you need the PS5 to stream on this device.

Again, where are you pulling this imformation that Jesus did miracles? We need an outside source for which we don't have any. Also, if you are going to go into prophecy there is a HUGE issue. we need to go to te original text, which is found in the Jewish Tanakh. Can you read Hebrew, because...

Where are these non Christian outside sources that prove Jesus did miracles? There are none as far as I know, and I've watched quite a few debates between atheist and Christians. There are Jesus miracles in the four gospels but the problem is the bible was written by Christians. To rely solely...

Yea. Those are claims. 1. Do we have any first hand acounts of Jesus resurrection? No. 2. What about Jesus miracles? Is there an outside source(s) that talks about those miracles? No. 3. Are there MAJOR contridictions in the bible? Yes. 4. Do we have the original sources of the bible...

Republicans aren't going to change anything. Savings rate among most Americans is in the toilet. Credit card debt breached $1T. An all time high. Our economy is buiilt on spending and that is what Americans do. They spend money. The stock holders are the real winners, because when you spend...

What is the chance that GoW 1-3 will make its way onto the PC? I loved GoW3 back in the day. Would love to see this as a PC game.

If Biden loses this election its going to have to do with the economy. And nothing else. The high cost of living is going to be the dems downfall IMO.

But but but... It doesn't mean THAT! C'mon you are taking it out of context. And that is the OLD testament, which is the OLD convenant. Jesus brought in the NEW convenant, etc. I've heard the arguments put forth by Christian fundamentalist on slavery and horrible things in the old testament...

And, he is in total favor of supporting Israel to the full extent. But, its not about helping Israel per say.. No, what these Christian fundies want is to destroy the rock which is worshipped by Muslims, build a Jewish temple on said rock, and convert as many Jews into Christanity as possible...

He also believes that EVERYTHNG ins the bible is the truth. This guy could be very dangerous for America.

The new Republican speaker of the house is a RADICAL conserative Christian who believes that dinosaurs were on Noah's Ark. https://www.joemygod.com/2023/10/mike-johnson-believes-dinosaurs-were-on-noahs-ark/

That brings back memories. I had a friend in grade school who played guitar. He liked all the heavy metal bands back then. Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Ozzy, AC/DC, Motley Crue, etc. The problem was his father was a Baptist minister. And so, he would always have his records and guitar taken...

Imagine going out for halloween dresssed up in a cool scary custome. You approach a house, ring the door bell and a man opens the door. Next, he starts preaching the gospel, says that we shouldn't be practicing Halloween because satan... And hands you a bible. That would suck. lol..

lol, I have $1k into dogecoin. I bought into the hype and I seriously doubt its going to go up, or rise to dollar status. The hype is over for now.

Is the reason Diablo 4 is on Steam because Microsoft owns Blizzard now? I was thinking about picking up the game but the micro transactions and the bad reviews on Steam are an issue for me. I also agree wwith you on downloading a bunch of launchers just so I can buy one or two games from...

My friend who is a personal trainer tore his left pec because he was trying to lift heavy. At the time he was about your age. When you get older, stretching is a must. I always stretch now and do a bunch of warm ups before actually lifting weights. The worst thing you can do is lift heavy while...

Sucks its not on Steam. I'm still thinking about downloading the Epic Launcher so I can purchase this game for Halloween. The first game was amazing. I love story heavy games, like The Last of Us. Has anyone purchased the game yet? Thinking about buying it?

Just my opinion, but mosst people dislike change. TLoU was one of the best games of the 2010s. Its an all time classic. And so, many gamers were expecting the same. If you watched the video I posted, the creator made a good point. Joel's story arch was completed. There wasn't really anything...

Gamers asking "is this game a woke fest" are just foolish. oh my god, the character is gay. Who cares. No one is trying to "make you gay."

I was just watching that same video a few days ago. Very interesting point of view.

Good point. Watching birds in flight 2000 years ago, there was probably that one person who imagined people being able to fly in the future. I always imagineed what it would be like to go back to ancient times with a smart phone. You'd probably end up dead. The people who lived back then would...

I watched a lets play (no commentary) on TLoU2 and it looked awesome. I personally liked the story. In fact, most of the characters in the TLoU2 were young, besides Tommy, Maria and a few others. The game was centered on the younger generation. Check out this video on TLoU2 . I believe he...

Maybe. Currently yes, we can't prove or disprove god. We may never be able to prove or disprove ghost. genies, gods, spirits, an afterlife, reincarnation, etc. Those things may forever be unfalsifiable. Or maybe not. Who knows what science will come up with 3000 years from now? If we had lived...

Its not just YouTube but every god damn news website. Someone provides a link to an article about climate change that I find interesting? I go to the website and I can only read a few lines before I'm told to disable my ad blocker. Many of the sites now are blocked via paywall as well. I've read...

Religion and science can't coexist, because as we understand more about the universe via science it makes religion become smaller and smaller. Think back to ancient times. Whenerver there was a storm, they thought it was the gods. Lightening was from Zeus. Violent storms like tornadoes or...

Its been out on Steam for about 6 months now. Had a very bad debut. Bugs, crashes, etc. Those have all been fixed.

Reminds me of what Europeans did to the natives in North America. Called them savages, animals. Unfit for the new world. Etc. Treat people like animals. Its so easy to do harm to them, and take their land.

A ten year old game has become my favorite PC game of all time. Its right up there with BioShock, and Half Life. For me, its the story. Naughty Dog has crafted a story around a man Joel who lost his little girl Sarah during the beginning of the outbreak. You go 20 years into the future, and...

I told a 25 year old about Suzanne Summer passing away, and he was like "who the hell is that?" I said that she he played in Threes Company. He was like "what is that?" These youngens just don't know. But, isn't that the truth. Fame, youth and your good looks are so fleating.
