- Comment on Gamers have you ever been in a game competition or something similar? 14 hours ago:
I played some tourneys through CAL in counterstrike a long time ago and there was some tough competition on the amateur side. The pros were on another level from most amateur teams but a few of the amateur teams could still give them some competition.

Same, played the first into late game and
Tap for spoiler
Secret classes/bosses
Second I played most of the characters to their third quest maybe about halfway though the game and the day/night addition was fun but the narrative style and level gating in the second could use more work imo.

The Downside of Wealth: Toward a Psychopathology of Money Accumulation, Noah Laracy. The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, 2017
For a summary of a summary wealthy people have better health and quality of life, which shouldn’t surprise anyone due to the food, housing, access to healthcare, etc security money buys currently, and when controlling for age (comparing like aged individuals instead of only looking at wealth) paranoia increases with wealth.

When she started she was a pop science channel, relaying new physics research to a general audience. Apparently that wasn’t enough and she dove head first down the conspiracy theory and pseudoscience slide to ad revenue and clicks, abandoning all reason and peer review standards.

Just your friendly reminder that Texas governor Greg Abbott is a racist piece of shit and probably a kkk member who used his powers as governor to free another bigoted racist killer Daniel Perry convicted by a jury of his peers.

Two days later, according to the records, Perry said in a Facebook message that when he is in Dallas, “no protestors go near me or my car.”
“Can you catch me a negro daddy,” the other man replied.
“That is what I am hoping,” Perry said. “”"
