@mrbojangles25: The United States will be able to move past it when it actively starts banning religion interfering with politics.

Part of the problem is the separation of power between the states and the union; there are certain areas, such as civil liberties, that the states should have no say in. There is no ethical reason whatsoever why each state should essentially have its own code of behaviour when there's a centralised governing power.

The other problem is that constitutional cherry-picking is allowed; I mean, this is why amendments are created. Something is broken, create an amendment to fix it.

The final point is that apparently, legal precedent that opens up ethical behaviour is actually challengeable. This should never be the case if it either improves society or doesn't cause mass bedlam.

So, because these problems exist, selfish, misogynistic and racist individuals can attempt to use those loopholes to take advantage of you.

The other thing is, if this challenge were successful, it opens up a whole other set of challenges. And there is nothing the president can really do about it, if I remember right.

I would stay away from an i3 or comparable CPU unless you're looking at playing much older games. They are basically Celerons.

Great for building a PC for surfing the web and some light office work, but otherwise are not very good for much else.

@adeemhaider has actually given you the best answer here. In short: Spec the software, and then buy the hardware. Not the other way 'round.

Back in the day, you had Turn-Based Strategy, Real-Time Strategy and Tactics. The difference was that Strategy games were about building, maneuvering and conquering, and you general developed by upgrading resources.

Tactics, on the other hand, were turn-based Strategy-RPG hybrids that were generally focused on unit-leveling, character development and story. And units only leveled by combat and quest completion.

So, one would assume that Turn-Based Tactics would be a redundant turn on the Tactics genre, particularly if these games were about character leveling on top of the other development options that come with other Strategy-genre trappings.

This is a preference.

Skill and ability are where they are. It has nothing to do with ethnicity/race and everything to do with devotion to craft.

It doesn't make me feel guilty, it makes me appreciate the gravitas of the sacrifice required to eat. I mean, you have to kill or harm plants to eat those, too.

I think it's very healthy that we have that appreciation. Lacking it leads to indiscriminate stupidity.

No. Unfortunately, my wife is kind of triggered by it (too many run-ins with cliquey vegans). Having had vegetarian/vegan versions of meat, it is kind of a non-starter, as I expect it to taste like a vitamin pill.

That said, anyone down for meat-based vegetables? :p

From a musical importance standpoint, in chronological order:

1. Johann Sebastian Bach

2. Robert Johnson

3. Chuck Berry

From a list of bands I prefer the most at the moment:

1. Judas Priest

2. Kreator

3. Motorhead

In terms of "TOP 3" for me, music is always changing, my tastes will eventually change, too.

Not sure if the "passport" is the problem, so much as implementation. If people were talking about making it as simple as linking the proof of vaccination to the passport number, I don't think people would care overly much.

As far as people not vaccinated...they'll have to wait until they're allowed, if they're allowed. I expect people who can't get the vaccine due to compromised immune systems would be given leniency. Anti-vaxxers who have literally no actual, factual medical reason to not get the vaccine should not, as those self-entitled individuals but those with compromised immune systems at serious risk.

Just got my second shot a few days ago. Granted, I'm in Canada, but I will be adhering to business rules.

Admittedly, I've gotten far fewer colds and whatnot wearing a mask (and it come sin handy in the kitchen when preppy things like onions), so I'll be keeping mine.

Also, you're not fully immune immediately after the second dose. I think it needs like two weeks to do its work. And being that it might make you feel like crap (I got the Pfizer MRNA vaccine, and yes, it can make you feel like crap), I'd strongly recommend taking precautions for a little while longer.
