I'd think then becoming a state would give them the power and voice needed to pushback on some of those

Potentially, but I don't believe the US would ever want PR to become a state. The infrastructure is in shambles, and I don't see the US being eager to invest that kind of money in the island, especially given America's track record of being disgustingly indifferent towards the suffering of lower income minorities in the states.

A large number of Puerto Ricans have a very low opinion of the US. Between things like military testing on Vieques for decades, the Jones Act, wealthy Americans buying up land as many Puerto Ricans are struggling to make a living and forced to sell, and Trump making an ass of himself after Maria hit, the topic of statehood pretty much always leads to an argument. It doesn't help that America has never given a fuck about Puerto Rico.

If you're going with the above build, nothing higher than 1080p.

May I ask why?

Bump

Also, for the sake of not making a new topic, if you guys had any suggestions for a new monitor that'd be much appreciated.

Thanks for the responses, guys. While I understand it's not perfect, I'm not the sort of person who absolutely needs the best/most expensive set-up. I've made due with my PS4 for quite some time. If I can get the same kinda mileage out of this I'll be content.

My father supported our family by himself making less than $50,000 a year. Granted that was a long time ago, and cost of living has gone up since then.

A friend of mine sent me this link and told me it's a pretty good deal, but I'm basically a caveman when it comes to computers, and have no idea if that's the case. Should mention that my current console is a PS4, so basically anything is an upgrade.

My PS4 is slow as fuck, and with the price of Plus going up, and Microsoft buying a bunch of developers I like, I figured it was time to look into getting a PC as opposed to getting a new console. Is this worth it?

It might be the sign of a bacterial infection or some sort of bowel issue. If it persists, you might need to have her checked out by a vet. It could be something serious.

Bloodborne is my favorite game, and honestly, I really don't want this to happen. Lovecraftian horror isn't exactly mainstream, and I don't see Sony making this R rated while giving it the budget it needs. They'd have an easier time adapting God of War. Hell even a Demon's Souls movie would be easier.

Others have weird issues (ex. Brave with crypto)

Can you elaborate on this? I just recently started using Brave on mobile and I like not having to worry about ads while using it.

Which is best for mobile? Brave?

Republicans have no one to blame for this shit getting out of hand but themselves. They won't learn from this at all, and we can fully expect something like this to happen again.

Bungie is becoming Infinity Ward at this point.
Destiny is dead to me. Has been for several years.

I still play Destiny, but it is getting harder to justify investing any serious amount of time in it. It's pretty absurd how the game's been monetized, and now staff members losing their jobs certainly isn't helping their image. Every step of the way, Bungie has been screwed by greedy and incompetent leadership.

Part of the enormous sum Sony paid was for staff retention too.

No, some people are just slobs. It's not always some mental thing. I'd probably live like that too if I were a bachelor, except I'd hire a cleaning person occasionally.

Nah he's definitely seriously depressed. This kind of neglect is a huge red flag. The worse your depression gets, the more detached you become from your life and surroundings. Things like cleaning and looking after yourself become an afterthought.

I've never let get this bad, but as my depression has gotten worse, I find that extended periods of time just fly by before I get around to doing simple things like cleaning or organizing. If I were his friend or relative, I would be deeply concerned that he's at major risk of suicide.

Most of them are on a bunch of "top pizza lists", which Jersey City usually dominates, but a few that are unrecognized;

Edgewater's Brick Oven Pizza
Ridgefield's Ralpho's
Pal Park's Johnny's, and Urban Tomato
North Bergen's Roma Pizzeria

I live in northern NJ, and there are a lot of really good local joints that are underappreciated. M&S is a personal favorite of mine.

Capcom's been having a nice resurgence as of late. If they could just bring back Lost Planet and Darkstalkers I'd be ecstatic.

My job constantly makes me want to kill myself, so yes I'd quit immediately. Just 1 million and I'd be set.

Bought the game at launch on PS4 and it was probably the buggiest gaming experience I've ever had. I have multiple clips saved of some of the glitches I encountered, and it's pretty fucking insulting that they ever thought the game ran well enough to release on last-gen consoles. That was a stupid decision fueled by greed.

At its core, it is a solid game, but it was a fucking disaster of a launch. I enjoyed the Witcher series, but Cyberpunk soured my opinion of CDPR immensely. I'm glad people are able to enjoy the game now, but I sincerely hope people don't just forget how bad it was at release.

It also seemed like the series lightened up a bit as Miura's mental health improved. Old Berserk was a bit too edgy imo.

I miss 261. It was a convenient way to discuss smaller news stories that I might not have otherwise heard about.

And I agree with what others here have said: trolls aside, there was a nice little core community of well-informed and decent people you could have serious discussions with. Even if I didn't agree with someone, they were usually knowledgeable enough that their posts/opinions were still worth reading. Can't say the same thing about CE at all. I also really enjoyed reading people's perspectives on the different laws in the states/countries they lived in. Can't get that from reading a news article.

One thing I dislike immensely about CE is how easily some serious topics can be buried behind pages of moronic threads in no time at all. I'll stick around for now, but I don't post anywhere near as much as I used to.

I was going to make a joke about Joe West, but I didn't realize he retired a couple of years ago.

I mean if fans like it and the movie does well then I guess that's all that matters, but holy shit that's a terrible design. What about it made them think it was a good idea?

Great game. As already mentioned, the writing is fantastic and it handles the humor very well, plus the music is some of the best I've heard in a game in a long time. Glitches are common and bothersome though. Some are minor like audio glitches, but others are very irritating and you might lose a lot of progress if you don't save often.

There's a certain villain that you can recruit at a particular point in the game, and my advice is to go ahead and do that even though you lose a little bit of reputation. They're probably the most amusing teammate in the game (although undoubtedly evil), and you can rush to get them right away (it can be difficult at a low level but I managed; they have a lot of unique dialogue you might miss if you recruit them as late as the game expects you to). You can still get the best ending with them on your team too.

The game is hilariously unbalanced though. There are some encounters that'll leave your whole team dead if you can't waste the enemy in a turn or two. Despite all the options you have at your disposal, you'll be inclined to prioritize maximizing your damage, which will lead you to ignore a number of stats (on your ranged characters especially, in order to squeeze out as much dps as possible), and overlook weapon types like flamethrowers, snipers, melee, and unarmed (although they're quite fun and I encourage you to experiment with them).

SMGs are simply busted and are the answer to every problem you might face in a fight, and damage types like incendiary and explosive are way too strong. Basically your ranger with a pyromaniac or explosive background with an SMG modded with explosive or incendiary linkage is going to be attacking more and doing more damage than your sniper or your heavy gunner.

I'm upset that Microsoft owns the franchise now (since I play on Playstation), but all the same I hope a sequel happens at some point. Still have to go back and finish the DLC.

All this over a couple of Playstations?

Haven't made a pizza in more than 10 years, and while I find the process enjoyable, it's disappointing how long it takes to make them compared to eating them .-.

I too accidentally let Shadow die my first time. Had to restart the game because of that.

Just bought the remaster recently but haven't started it yet. FF6 is by far my favorite in the series. I hope it still holds up after all these years.

most people dont actually want to abolish billionaires.

Billionaires shouldn't exist.

Yeah I had heard about the pregnant woman who had a miscarriage while being stuck in the wire. Abbott is a piece of fucking trash and anyone who still supports him is just as disgusting.

I make a little more than half of that.

My first job was at a restaurant. People were quitting or getting fired on a weekly basis. Even the managers would come and go.

Fuck Fandom.

They paid an absurd amount of money to put themselves in danger and it cost them their lives. Anyone with any sense would see how fucking reckless this was.

It's undoubtedly a terrible way to go, but it was such a stupid plan from the very beginning that I can't help but shake my head. All that wealth, and that was what they chose to spend it on? Money like theirs could save lives, and they wasted it ending their own.

Fuck them. Greene is a fascist gorilla, and Boebert is an inbred swamp rat with a gun fetish. They both deserve to be in prison, not leading the country.
