10% of the US is millionaires and wealth is quite segregated by location so depending on where you grow up or live, it’s entirely possible to mostly only know rich people while most of the country lives paycheck to paycheck and a large amount of people can’t afford healthcare. It’s inequality again, yay
Just mentioning this because the thread itself and the person you responded about referred to the US. Not actually American myself.

Sure. You prefer quarters or nickles?

TBoGT was Luis, who was pretty much what VI’s male protag (Jason?) should’ve been. He actually had a personality other than just being the big badass guy.
I suspect the reason they haven’t had female protagonists before is just pure male defaultism rampant in the gaming industry. Gamers would’ve made a ton of noise in the past. Otherwise, a game with Catalina as the protagonist could’ve been really interesting.

I suspect two things:
The world will be more immersive and less soulless once we can actually navigate it. It’s also the first time there’s been a swamp in GTA which is cool.
Lucia will be by far the better protagonist. The other one seems poorly written and it with a voice completely mismatching the character. I think Lucia will have more depth and her voice is more pleasant.

This game is what’s finally going to push me upgrade my 3060Ti in a few years but… I’m not exactly hopeful on there being anything to upgrade to. Would prefer to skip nvidia and amd has decided to abandon the high end market but if I’m upgrading, I’d like to go up a tier or two, not just a few generations. I want to be blown away by the card that’s going to have to last me the next 5-10 years.

RDR1 was a special case, San Diego didn’t port their previous few games either which is why we don’t have Midnight Club LA on PC for example.
GTA is too big. It’s guaranteed extra sales for a game they already have. Same with RDR2, it was heaps more popular than the first (which itself was more popular than expected I guess) so leaving it console exclusive was never really on the table.

You do realize that there are many governments spending less on healthcare than the US that do have universal healthcare, right? And I mean that as a percent of GDP rather than a flat figure per person and that’s NOT counting insurance and out of pocket spending for the US. The US government already spends a fucktonne of money on it.
You don’t need to increase taxes significantly to pay for it. Might not need to do it at all. A neat side effect of poor people having access to healthcare is that they’re healthier and can work, meaning they also pay tax.

Uh… No? BlackRock is a passive company. They “own” so much because people buy they ETFs and mutual funds which buy stock in everything. You’re basically saying get rid of pension funds, 401ks and retail investors because those are largely the people using BlackRock and Vanguard funds.

The management is government/parliament. Public sector jobs are much harder to negotiate anything because it tends to come with hard rules for every minute detail.

If she’s even real (could be a troll account), we have no idea what she’s talking about. Quick half hour or shorter shoot for your family after getting a new baby? A wedding lasting hell, maybe 5-6 hours or more? 300 bucks is way too much for the first option (assuming she has a studio and can just shoot 1.5 families an hour and then do the editing later) and probably about a fifth of what the second option should cost.

You know you can just unlimit your bike? Right?
One reason is that unlimited speed roads and also racetracks exist and cars generally require much more driver certification than bicycles which anyone with a pulse is allowed to ride in a lot of places. I know I did over 50 km/h a couple of times as a teenager and pulled all kinds of stupid shit because it’s not like they can take your cycling license away lol

Can y’all stop using the word entree to mean main course rather than appetizer? It has the same root as entry for a reason lol, it comes before the main course. The English word is just “main course”.

Okay, so we’ve established that anyone wanting to get something to eat that they haven’t cooked from scratch at home is a lazy piece of shit.
Why not ban the restaurant industry altogether then?

So if a disabled person gets pizza they’re a lazy entitled piece of shit?
- Comment on A customized delivery experience 2 weeks ago:
The same services usually do both, so why are we judging the people getting a pizza but not the one getting some groceries?
- Comment on A customized delivery experience 2 weeks ago:
The freezer pizza is nowhere near as good as a fresh pizza from a decent pizzeria though?
You’d have to cook your own pizza for it to even be comparable.
Like yes I always have something I can heat up at 3 AM if I’m working an all nighter to catch up on shit, but you know what tastes best when drunk? Hot fast food I didn’t have to prepare at all.
