They were all foster kids and the government gave them like $1,000 a month per kid. He was making 6 figures before even counting his job money.

- Comment on On trees... 2 days ago:
Yes. I made mention of this in a reply to someone else as well. I’m not sure if my teacher (like 30 years ago) told us wrong or if I simply remembered it wrong.
- Comment on On trees... 3 days ago:
I learned it nearly 30 years ago in school. I just did a search and found a link about it, though.
Also, seems that either I remembered wrongly, or my teacher made a mistake, but it seems it was most of the worlds coal; not oil, that came from all the piles of trees from that period.
- Comment on On trees... 3 days ago:
Also cool that for a period of like 60 million years, nothing decomposed dead trees. As they would die or fall over, they’d just stay there, piling up. This is where most oil came from. The massive amounts of trees stacking up before bacteria and fungus evolved to decomposed them. Imagine 60 million years worth of trees just lying around.
- Comment on The PS3's comeback was insane 4 days ago:
Yep. Usually the only PS3 issue that happens is when the drive wears out, eventually. I think that turns into a big issue because 8 believe the drive is “paired” to the PlayStation, so you’d have to move over the control board on the drive to the replacement drive. If you don’t swap those you have to do a bunch of custom firmware bullshit.
- Comment on The PS3's comeback was insane 5 days ago:
I know exactly the cause of this. The 360 got a bad rep because of the red ring of death fiasco bricking the consoles. All because of a few design flaws, mostly around the processors assembly that took them quite a while to figure out the cause of, and even longer to do anything about.
Then the even bigger nail in the coffin of Blu-ray beating out HD DVD, and a PS3 being pretty much the cheapest blu ray player you could get.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 dev calls Randy Pitchford's $80 Borderlands 4 comments "gross" because it implies the FPS is more important than "making it day to day" 5 days ago:
Yeah, inflation is a thing. But so is increasing volumes in sales with low cost distribution of the product.
After a game is made now, the only cost is distribution now, and games sell in larger volumes than ever before, making more money than ever before. A game like BL4? Even if they spent $300,000,000 making the game they only need to sell 6,000,000 copies to recoup costs at $70. BL3 has sold 18,000,000 copies. A huge profit, even if most of those sales were on sale prices. BL3 was made and advertised with a 140 million dollar budget.

Tien vs krillin is kind of debatable, but they still both bald, along with Roshi, so…

Playing the long game. Smart guy.
- Comment on Cops Arrest Paraplegic in Wheelchair for "Kicking Down" Woman's Door and Fleeing "On Foot" 1 week ago:
Or check his drivers license that shows he uses hand controls, or look in his car to see the hand controls and handicap sticker, or simply look at his legs that you can tell even through his pants that they have zero muscle mass, or run a background check on the woman who had done this to someone else and got arrested for it in the past, or see that the guys house has a wheelchair ramp, or not get an arrest warrant based on one person’s accusation, or see that a guy who was married with a family for the past decade had not been living with the woman like 2 days prior to the assault and that the guy has an alibi from several other people during the time of the alleged assault…
What the fauck else do you need, dude? Are you retarded?
- Comment on No, Steam wasn’t hacked, and your account details are safe 1 week ago:
It was put out that everyone should change their passwords. That kind of info for like 90 million steam accounts would fetch a much higher price or ransom than some personal info on a bunch of people like names, phone numbers and an address.
- Comment on No, Steam wasn’t hacked, and your account details are safe 1 week ago:
I had assumed it was BS as soon as I saw the price of just $5k.
- Comment on Nintendo Updates Its User Agreement To Crack Down On Emulation 2 weeks ago:
You’re just speaking of dedicated emulator systems? I’d agree with those numbers of yours then. I was just speaking of what people use to emulate old games in general. Almost everyone just uses a pc, laptop, or cell phone. The numbers for dedicated systems that look like retro Gameboys and stuff like that are outnumbered by like 100 to 1.

Cd…or DVD?
- Comment on Nintendo Updates Its User Agreement To Crack Down On Emulation 2 weeks ago:
You can say 9 out of 10 buying a raspberry pie are setring up retro pie for emulating, but 98 out of 100 people emulating aren’t using a raspberry pie to do it.

No they didn’t. That’s why ebolapie’s comment has so many more upvotes than yours. You really suck with context.

My comprehension? You directly replied to a response about schools to talk about how your kids didn’t know all of their alphabets yet, but somehow thought everyone would get your “joke” because your kids aren’t in school yet.
So explain to me why you think that makes sense?
- Comment on Ok, thanks... 5 weeks ago:
Lol. It’s close enough for government work.
- Comment on Ok, thanks... 5 weeks ago:
Do your own math and just admit you were wrong. If the youngest is 1 and the oldest if 15, then over half of them are 0ast the point where they should know how to write and spell at least simple words. That also means most of them are not “very young” and that most of them are school age.

Gen Alpha started in 2010, dude. Some of them are 15 at this point.

Bad grammar as well. I see posts all the time where people don’t even put periods at the ends of their sentences.

There’s definite bleed over , and the differences are loose generalities than facts, but there’s definite patterns that emerge between music, fashion, and technology.
Like how gen Z and especially A can’t really use computers or understand file structure well, or that mellennials are the last gen who mostly know cursive. Or blow anti bully gen z is compared to earlier gens.
