My wife and I stole some stuff from Disneyworld on our honeymoon.

I'm in. I'm wondering if you intend to mitigate the cheating that normally is rampant in online chess matches, or if we're just doing a 'scout's honor' thing.

Looks good, actually. In a few weeks it'll be a workable length and you can try out fades or other short styles.

So therefore, make the money required to do so on top of having a secured home base to work off of. I know I sound like an asshat right now saying, "just do it," but so far in my life from personal experience I've proven to myself that if I need money I can find it, and I can do it quickly. Again.
Jesus, and you're saying I live in an upper class area? (Btw, I don't; I live in the deep south.) Like I said, unless you're old money, there's really no feasible way to buy a house with cash outside of a very lucrative job, which you're probably not going to have away from urban centers. I'm not trying to shit on your dreams, I just want you to be realistic about your expectations.

Good. That robot was an illegal immigrant coming to take a job from a hard working American hitchhiker.

I'm aware that you can't just "buy a home now." It does take a little bit of planning. But generally, you try to get there as quickly as possible. I really disagree with this. A house isn't going to pay dividends, send my kids to college, or pay for trips and hobbies in my retirement. And no, you don't absolutely need a mortgage. A mortgage is just a rat-trap. I'm not saying that they don't have their uses but it's not an impossibility to buy a house without using a mortgage. That's another thing I tend to operate on. No credit or loans. If you can't buy it yourself in cash then you don't and shouldn't be going after it in the first place. It is highly unusual for someone that has no made significant investments into retirement to be able to pay for a house with cash. Unless you were born with money, it doesn't make sense to let $500,000 (or whatever) accumulate in a savings account or money market. You'd put it into stocks or an IRA and then you can withdraw that in retirement and then eschew a mortgage. The sooner you have a home that's yours, that's paid off, the more secure your future is. That should always be your number one priority.
Again, I really disagree. Real estate can be a very risky investment, and it's dangerous to think that once you have it paid for that you're secure, especially if you're not prepared for loss in equity or property taxes.

leaks anything he can get his hands on, But he didn't.
You're right, he only leaked 10% of his total theft, and it's pretty fucking shady that he sought refuge in China and Russia while holding the rest.

Snowden is the guy that all whistleblowers should strive to be
Someone that blindly leaks anything he can get his hands on, expatriating to their former country's largest political rival?

My personal believe on this, is fuck waiting. Do it now. The sooner I get a place up that I'm comfortable with, that is my space to both live in and enjoy, the stronger my future security will be no matter what happens to me.
You can't just buy a home now. It takes decades to pay off a mortgage, and then you have property taxes and upkeep. It's just not feasible to think you can accomplish such a goal without planning for it.

My wife's grandma suffers from dementia. It's pretty heartbreaking, and she doesn't even remember my wife's name or really anyone except her own husband. The prospect of one day suffering from dementia and Alzheimer's is terrifying to me.

Trump's gonna get buttfucked. He's able to be portrayed as a savvy businessman that doesn't play by the political rules, but he's going to look like a complete jackass going toe to toe with people with real governing experience.

Invest at least 10% of your salary in your retirement plan. I use a Roth IRA; others prefer Traditional IRAs.
Once you get established and start making raises or bonuses, consider investing those amounts amounts and living off of your original salary. For instance, I make an extra $150 for flight pay, so I put that into my savings plan instead.
How can I apply this as an actor, since I won't be making a consistent salary, but rather be payed for each production I am casted in?
I would ask other, more experienced actors how they do it, but you can still invest 10% of each paycheck you get.

Don't buy a performance car; get something that is reliable. There are still plenty of fun, good-looking cars that will be low in maintenance costs, sticker price, and mileage.

Don't attempt to pay off student loans too quickly, but also consider paying it off 1/4 earlier than estimated.
Make essential purchases for a household on a zero-interest credit card and pay it off in a year. Essentials would include basic furniture, and a washer and dryer.
Open new credit cards to take advantage of zero interest for a year, and pay attention to what those cards give you in terms of cash rewards (usually high at gas stations or air travel).
Don't let a credit card sit unused after the no-interest period has expired, and try to pay off the balance for those each month so you don't get hit with interest.
Slowly accumulate a 6-month 'rainy day' fund in case you lose your job; this is especially important for contract workers.
Don't be afraid of growing up, severing ties with immature friends, and letting go of habits that are keeping you stuck in an old life. Life isn't a party when you're 26 making $10 an hour, no long-term relationship, drowning in debt and living in a crappy apartment.
Get a puppy.

I love Tarantino's revenge flicks, but the writing in Reservoir Dogs is unbeatable.

Yeah, a lot of my friends had trouble getting past college life, like living in small apartments, working entry-level jobs for pissant pay, investing in a car, furniture, or even insurance or retirement. It's hard to move on from the safety net of minimum wage, student loans, and parents. It's gotta happen sometime. Waiting until your late 20's to take control of your life is ridiculous.

Opinions there Luci.
So, I'm sure its just an area they're really showing off, because, unlike bloodborne, Dark souls had different areas on both games that looked a lot different. Or at least felt different.
Bloodborne had a fuckload of diversity, especially considering the progression of the night and new enemies and NPCs as the story progressed. The intricate maze of Central Yharnam's claustrophobic streets and sewers was massively different from the chaotic, sprawling forest, not to mention optional areas like the Nightmare Frontier with drastically different scenery, atmosphere, enemies, and environmental traps all around. I still think Blighttown is one of the best levels of any game I've played and something as challenging and varied as that was missed in BB, but you can't say there wasn't a huge array of locations varying in palette and aesthetic design.

I imagine it's sort of like being hypoxic or blackout drunk; you don't realize you're there at all.

Looks like bows work similarly to guns in BB, but goddamn that scenery is like Yharnam 2.0. I don't mind, but it's odd that they didn't go with something more contrasting.

Evolution is entirely based on stronger, better-adapted organisms killing weaker ones and forcing them to either adapt or become extinct. War is the macro-evolution of the human species.
