Or maybe they just don't have fast reflexes so easy is... easier. My wife almost never plays on normal because she can't.

If she plays on normal, she will never finish the game and be so frustrated that it will cause her not to enjoy her evening. She works a lot and needs to de-stress when she gets home, so playing on easy is the best way for her.

Stop judging people. Just play your game and enjoy it.

I would recommend Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning. The normal mode is already stupid easy, so you feel like a god on easy mode.

It's a fantasy setting with a ton of story and lore, so if you don't care about that it may not be for you.

Speaking as a technician (associate's degree), every engineer in my country makes easily double what I do. Doctors, lawyers, and engineers are just examples of professions that are paid more for their expertise than their actual work output. I would have to work 60-hour weeks just to get paid what a fresh engineering grad would get.

If you think you're at the top of your pay scale and want to earn more, then you should probably think about further education or look into travel nursing if travel is interesting/a possibility for you. Some kind of specialized knowledge like radiation, imaging, or anesthesiology would probably help.

Try to avoid making an account on one of the main instances (fedia.io, kbin.earth, etc.). List of Mbin instances: ~~https://fedidb.org/software/mbin~~ https://joinmbin.org/servers

But as he was cocking the gun’s hammer, it fired

Come on. It didn't fire, he accidentally pulled the trigger while trying to pull back the hammer - I wouldn't be surprised if he barely uses the fucking thing because it's a security blankie to him and not a dangerous tool of destruction. I hate this passive language bullshit when it comes to things people obviously did.

I wouldn't wish a relationship with a cop on my worst enemy.

Respectfully, it looks like shit and basic hand sewing isn't hard. 5 year olds can do this with a bit of instruction.

I've never heard of that person. I guess I always assumed all of the celebrities were going to be roughly equally famous. People thought it was Olivia Wilde for a long time.

Didn't even think of that, but you're right. Not that there's anything wrong with not wanting to leave your hometown, but when you literally can't due to finances, that's pretty fucked. Especially since moving to a larger or different city can open up so many opportunities.

As a personal example, I moved from a city with a lot of manufacturing to one with very little, and now I can't find a job in my chosen field. Some other stuff has come up and I have relatively easy access to government financial aid, so I've decided to go back to college. So many others just don't have that option so they'd be stuck in shitty or low-paying jobs.

Yeah, my parents have been living in Mexico off and on for years, and are about to move back. If I had kids, it would all be on me and my wife. Thankfully I don't want kids, but other people do and they're struggling. Grandparents can't & won't fix this problem.

That's great - I am obviously not talking about you in that case. I understand why people want to use it, I just don't think Discord's features are good enough to justify the mass adoption and the walled garden and UI are bad.

Last pre-order I made was Fallout 4, because it was a birthday present for my ex and her birthday was before the game came out. It's just not worth it otherwise.
