I don't care about accruing vast amounts of wealth itself, but the security of having it is more important.

After a certain amount of money, things are essentially "free", so you don't worry about them, bills, food, etc. What amount of money that is I can't say since the more wealth > the more possessions and more expensive they are > the more maintenance required to own said possessions.

Relying on the translation here but;

It's a crazy story and frankly, if it's confirmed, it's unheard of in Roubaix and maybe even in France

This is Buzzfeed tier. It's even ripped from another source, which has only a tad better information. The picture of the "trap" on there is terrible and could be just a hastily-dug hole with a car mat over the top.

When the colleagues went to the scene, young people in the neighbourhood, aged 15 or 16, explained that they were digging swimming pools to bathe in hot weather, says a union source confirming the information. As a precaution, the tools were confiscated .

The matter is taken very seriously. "It's a notorious dealplace ," the unionist continues. It's problematic for my colleagues because when they go to the courtyard, they look at the person they are pursuing, not necessarily the ground where they set foot. The same goes for dogs in the canine brigade or for the detection of narcotics.

An investigation has been opened. For now, nobody can be 100% sure that these traps were for the police.

No mention of the word "muslim" anywhere in either article, so what's your source for that? Their own source is pointing towards stupid kids or at worst, drug dealers. Not exactly a religious justification there.

GTA V has the best of both worlds - Singleplayer phone calls are entirely skippable, and in GTAO they don't slow you down at all.

Only annoying parts are the "walking around while talking" parts, where you can't sprint off and get on with the mission.

Tbh most games that I do recall having it weren't too much of a nuisance because Devs do realise holding you back isn't the most fun.

Oh boy, what episode of "Verbatim hates everything" is this?

Looks like a re-run because it's got the same characters and plot involved.

By "never make enough money", do you mean as in "never enough money to meet my life goal (i.e. decent house but not enough to fix it's problems, my car is from the 2000's and always needs repairing, my lavish holidays are camping trips in the local countryside)", or do you mean "never enough money to do anything except to survive (i.e. visits to the food bank, I share my tent with some homeless dudes, my car is a rusty bike and ticket-jumping buses)".

Because if the former, love sounds pretty good. It's a nice distraction from the inconveniences in life. The latter however would lead me to taking the money - no amount of love can divert your attention to the serious financial problems surrounding you, and dragging someone down with me just because they are madly in love with me wouldn't be fair.

Either scenario, you don't really win. Shit life with love is still a shit life, being that money is so bound to the quality of life. Money improves my quality of life, but then not being able to enjoy that with anyone serious wouldn't maximise my quality of life.

I suppose there's always gold-diggers.

I liked Godzilla '98. The French bloke in jt was pretty good, from what I can remember.

Still have it on VHS, ripped straight from its premiere on TV and complete with ridiculous old TV ads.

-St. James' Brewery
-Grafton Street: count how many folks are shooting up in the alleys.
-There has to be a museum somewhere...

Honestly I don't know what's there to do as I've never been to the capitol, but there's bound to be stuff lying around waiting to be done. How the hell d'you end up in Ireland?

Uh, nope.

Think I'll go down to the shops and get a bag myself.

Most of the reccomendations I've played, though Nier Automata and Fate/Grand Order appear to wildcards. Never heard of nor interested in playing them.

Forza is surprising to be at the top, but I did used to love racing games as a child so I suppose that wouldn't change.

Interesting how my Discovery and Fantasy score is particularly low because I don't actively search for glitches or every collectible as the questionnaire kept pushing on me, nor do I try out every concievable manner of playing a game, but I love games like Skyrim/Fallout/Borderlands where all you do is explore areas and open every single container and scour every corner for loot, and play how you want. Hell, none of the Fallout series is on my reccomended list of 87 games, and yet it's my favourite.

And I guess the yellow turtle is Barron?

Some sort of "handmade" image of text made in paint?

This thread gives me an excuse to change up my theme now.

i'm still not sure how this classifies as a prank

"I'mma shoot you but you gotta book that'll keep you alive"

*bang*

"PSYCHE! The look on your face!"

They were both in on it, and it was the man's idea.

I thought it was kinda obvious that that was a joke, but ah well.
