It's not that uncommon. Root canals are unaffordable. The ER will at least give you antibiotics for an abcess. But few can afford to actually deal with it.

Heh. That was one of the few games I could pump $20 into, hit start for both players and get most of the way through akimbo-style. I tried it again later with House of the Dead 3. It didn't work as well. Harder to dual-wield shotguns.

It's a crime in Japan to pay protection money to Yakuza. It seems to be working. They are a shadow of their former selves. You can mitigate adverse consequences. Punishments for child kidnapping used to be severe, but then abductors wo

I wonder about this. It never seems to conclude zebras are the problem. It's always humans. Is eliminating humans the wrong solution, or just one that we don't like? We see this with crime stats too (and as of late, voting resul

VGM is all over the place. I used to like working to the Hotline Miami soundtrack myself, which worked great for coding menial stuff but sucked for troubleshooting. The Unreal Tournament '99 OST is way better in that it's fast, lo

I met my ex, a former friend, and two of his exes on Napster. Once it hit college campuses it onboarded a ton of female users. Girls were later extremely prolific in pirating Sims add-ons.

Every single example comes down to "why didn't they humiliate themselves further by sharing the content of the lies and defamation brought against them?" This is sophistry. This practice is a good way to get away with defamat

A huge part of this is that people who are willing to do so don't know how/where to offer it. Not everyone has an entrepreneurial spirit or the ambition of a trailblazer. Today, I jump-started a car for a sketchy couple in rough

They'd also have to be trained in fraud investigations and counter-espionage considering who they're up against. It's not the purpose of an auditor.
