My point was just that almost nobody should be paying SE tax on their gross income because almost nobody has literally zero expenses related to the activity that earned it.

Especially in this case, I'm just very wary of games that ask players to commit atrocities without a very clear and compelling reason. I'm not saying the designer of this game didn't have one, only that I couldn't tell from your review. Did you feel like those reasons shouldn't be "spoiled"?

I think it's important that games overwhelmingly put players in the role of commanders, leaders, CEOs, etc, as if ordinary working people - or in this case, the victims & survivors of atrocities - aren't roles that could be as fruitful, thought provoking, and fun sources for game mechanics and play.

What ARE the game's intentions though? I'm really unconvinced that there's a good reason to put players in those roles. You're a reflective, thoughtful person, so you'll respond to it with reflection and thought, but that doesn't mean that's got much to do with the game right?

time has a way of ending kings, but yeah... he'll do anything to die in the white house because when if he ever leaves, he's going to prison - even if his successor is another fascist of his own choosing.

The Memphis bench reaction is amazing.

How life and planet can generate these patterns and colors. It's just so much weirder than you'd expect.

I can't stop. There's just too many cool things.

As alarming as that is, it's still understating the magnitude of the crisis.

TrumpCoin alone dwarfs Watergate and it barely even registers as a scandal. The president publicly released a way for governments & other entities to securely & anonymously pass him billions of dollars.

And a way for Trump to claim he's a peacemaker.

Damn. Figures that the Bulls would blow their whole supply of making shots on the Nuggets.

You mean the same Flock cameras that have been exposed to have massive security vulnerabilities with national security implications?

This is what will happen:

DOJ policy prohibits releasing documents pertaining to ongoing investigations. Therefore, the so-called "Epstein Files" will be released as soon as the investigation into whether Congressional Democrats improperly communicated with Epstein has been completed.

The person who got my grandma into hiding and saved her life was a 15-year-old girl. She had a job in the factory where my grandma worked and was using the job as a front to rescue Jews employed there. She was a normal, working-class Dutch gentile teenager. There are ways you can be like her.
