The first move I've seen that I actually agree with. Too bad there's the hundreds of others that are absolutely insane

What's amusing is your comment is the first time spoilers has worked for me.

Agreed. Not sure it's quite $100k cool, but still cool.

I don't buy locked up stuff because I don't want to talk to people.

You just casually dropping in that 832 is divisible by 8 makes me feel as if there's a small gap in our abilities to do mental math

I think one of the most common talking points against lab grown is that they are too perfect. "It's the imperfections that are beautiful" or something like that.

I mean they essentially already released it with The Crew 2. How else would they sell copies to the people who played the first?

I would actually love to find a nice big list of examples of this. Mostly because I want to know about stuff I've taken as truth

While in principle, I don't disagree. If you're impaired, you shouldn't drive. I lost a parent after they were hit by a drunk driver.

However, there are monstrously different amounts of impairment. You have reaction times and motor skills, decision making and judgement, awareness and attention.

Implying any type of impairment to be an unequivocal "no" to driving is short sighted, in my opinion. It's the easy argument to point at any mind-altering substance: caffeine, tobacco, or antidepressants could be classified an impaired driver.

It's also worth pointing out that even different emotions could dramatically alter driving performance. Not that we would ever think about restrictions on crying while driving.

I mean, he was speaking at the Black Conservative Federation. It's sorta relevant just given the venue.

If it want a really good 4X game

Is this for real?

There's no reason that guilt would be absent from helpinghelp a specific person in need (like your struggling mother example). Plenty of people feel guilty taking handouts and will outright refuse help when they might need it.

As for the drive thru thing, I think you might be talking about something different than what I've seen/done, which is just paying for your own meal and the people behind you. There isn't any expectation for them to continue some chain, and in many ways it's a bit of an empty gesture (they are just taking that first person's goodwill and passing it to the next in line).

My interpretation of paying it forward is the premise of receiving something when you're in need, then, when you're able, to give something back. Not to the one who helped you, as that would be repaying a debt.
