But for a country, decried as the world's premiere powerhouse and who feels the need to get involved in any global affair, you kind of expect other countries to amplify our flaws.
Yet, many other countries follow us into the fray.  They also rely on our military for their protection, as many nations would've most likely fallen to their enemies if invading them didn't also get the US involved.

Basic K-12 educations lays out the groundwork for you to explore what you're interested in or most proficient at.

A lot of what you learn in college can be learned via independent research.  Difference in college is that you have a professor who is knowledgeable in the subject who can help guide you along, and your knowledge is recognized by the state and the job market with a diploma.

That said, being self-taught offers benefits such as going at your own pace, actually learning the material instead of "learning the material" for an exam, and not having the inflated costs that come with post-secondary education.  My dad is the head of IT security at the SC Attorney General office, and he only went to college for two years (no degree).  He knows more about current systems than any college graduate, and he is mostly self-taught.  BUT he only makes around $90,000 in his current occupation.  To put that in perspective, if you have a four-year degree and a connection or two within the state government, you can land yourself a job with a $120K+ salary despite no prior experience.

Bottom line is that while being self-taught might not get you $$$, it'll give you more respect among your peers and won't leave you "wasting away" at a university for two to six years.

Still she was a big disbeliever of any social support and well her books never made sense, the hypocrisy is that she benefited alot from the American Medicare and Social Support when her books actively went against them.
If a thief takes money from you, but offers to give you some money back, is it hypocritical to take that money while also denouncing thievery?

Pretty sure the God of the universe doesn't give a shit whether you're gay or not.
Has god told you this or are you just projecting your values onto an idealized deity?
In just saying that, if I were the God of the universe, I wouldn't give a shit.

I tried to word my OP so as to not make this a popularity thread.  There are users here whose company I enjoy but whom I don't necessarily "hold in high regard".  Doesn't necessarily mean that I dislike anyone here.

Nothing is more satisfying than tweaking your game settings to where you achieve both great textures and AA as well as 60+ fps.  I swear I tinker with my games and my GPU more than I actually play the games.  I've also learned a lot about computers just from owning one and using it daily.

Improves on Far Cry 3 in almost every way.  That said, I don't think it differentiated itself from Far Cry 3 enough.

If you need an extra monitor I can fill in.  I'm on the majority of the day (I always have this site up in an extra tab).  I can also start checking up on the site more often as I have unlimited mobile data, so I don't have to be at home to monitor.

Just saying.  Oh, and Flee should definitely be promoted to mod.

My sides.
Just so you know, UC4 is 60fps.
>Damage control

Lemon pls

Spoiler
If they actually manage 60 fps without a serious graphical downgrade I will applaud them.  TLOU Remastered was gorgeous and much more playable than TLOU on the PS3.

Intellectual property is a nice one.  There's controversy surrounding whether or not it's a detriment to the advancement of society (especially in the technology sector).  It's also an interesting subject because it deals with art, science, and politics.
