That's why you should back up your OC .22 with a CC .44.

I either want to work with computers (designing, building) or get in a band and make enough to pay for a small apartment.

I've gotten in contact with an established band (Marytre) that needs a bassist.  I'm planning on touring with them some in the near future while I go to my local technical college.

People play racing games?
I'm a big car guy.  I've been playing racing games since I was 8.  My first game for the PS2 was Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2.

I get excited when a new racing game is announced because we could use come more competitors on the console market (Forza and GT have been getting lax over the years).  I was kinda bummed when they announced that DriveClub would be an arcade title.  Still, I was hoping it would end up being something a-la PGR.  Not the case.

Not doing so hot.

This sucks, because the PS4 was in desperate need of a good exclusive racing title.  I started having my doubts about this game when it was announced that it would be an arcade title (not simcade like Forza or GT).  Really wish that it would've been better so that the devs over at Turn 10 and Polyphony would have to step up their game.  Oh well.

Greatness awaits...and waits...

Serious / Re: Los Angeles minimum wage raised to $13.25
« on: October 08, 2014, 12:15:11 AM »
Meanwhile.. in the same location.. cost of all goods/living goes up $5 more dollars. I know.. Let's raise it some more!
Not true.
Do tell
The cost of living already went up before the wage hike.  Obviously a wage hike wasn't the cause.
Dat inflation of course. But a national raise would raise the cost of living. How else can MOSt businesses afford to pay all their workers more if they decided to not cut their hours?
I don't disagree with you there.  A national minimum wage increase is a terrible idea.  But when minimum wages are increased on a local scale it doesn't cause all of the problems you're concerned with.

What people fail to realize is that raising the minimum wage on a local scale usually boosts the local economy...if that wage stays isolated to that locale (i.e. the cities surrounding the area don't raise theirs).

Problems with raising the minimum wage come into play when it's raised on a state or national level.
So then tourists who come from poorer areas will have less buying power? Awesome!
That's already the case when you vacation from any poorer region to a richer one.  Hell, even traveling from Lexington, SC (where I live) to Charleston, things are expensive as hell down there at local shops and restaurants (read as: tourist traps), despite the fact that the minimum wage is the same.  It all has to do with demand.

A hotel in Vegas is going to cost you more than a hotel in Pensacola.  It's just basic economics.

If a kid wants to learn about Creationism bad enough they can look it up on Wikipedia.  As long as the public school system is state-run I don't think religion should be taught.

Paper money has as much value as you give it.
Gold has as much value as you give it.

I'd rather carry around a few paper bills and a credit card than four bars of gold bullion.

The why can't I write a million dollars on a piece of paper and say it's a million dollars? Who has the right, or should I say, why do certain people have the right to name and insist on a set value on money? Why is their paper, which isn't even paper anymore by the way, more legitimate than me finely writing out a million dollars on a piece of paper?
Their money has value because people the world over give it value.  If everyone suddenly assigned value to Monopoly money we'd use that, too.

Don't do volunteer work when you could get a job that pays.  You're basically telling future employers that you're willing to give away your labor.

« on: October 05, 2014, 04:39:05 PM »
How many of those jobs are full-time, is what I'm wondering.  I mean, it's good that people are finding work, but 2-5 hours every other day isn't going to do much good for someone paying rent/car/etc.  And don't get me started on the lack of employer insurance that comes with working part-time.

I'm still looking for a job.  Every place that I've applied wants "prior retail experience".  Um, I'm submitting my resume to you so that I may obtain some of that experience.

Serious / Re: Do you consider "Spanking" to be child abuse?
« on: October 05, 2014, 08:43:48 AM »
Yes

Children don't exactly have a choice when it comes to being with their parents or not.  When you spank them you're putting them in a situation where they have no where to run to for comfort.  Not to mention that you're teaching them that a person's sins should almost always be punished with violence.

I'm 20 years old and I still remember the three times I got spanked.  In the end I turned out fine, but a lot of kids don't.

Should the kids be taken away from their parents?  Hell no.  But I can see why some people might think that.
