Not that your premiums would be any less, but can you not buy individual plans form other insurance agencies when you're self employed?

Mr. Belding posted:Yes, that poster was mistaken. What he ought to have said is "your father is not a decent person." Nah, don't sugarcoat it. You can be very competent and skilled in your area of expertise and still be a dumb motherfucker. My uncle designs aircraft engines and shamed himself by sending around to the family a 'white paper' debunking climate change that was so shockingly poorly done that other family members whose last education was high school could spot the errors.

Who What Now posted:Games like Gears of War, God of War, all the CoD's, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, the Uncharted series, and more all star dudes that appear to be in their mid to late 30s. Dragon Age? You look to be in your 20s. and its open ended. Mass effect I would say you are at the oldest 35 (Also gently caress them for making Male Shepherd on all the box art). I can't answer for FPS because I don't play them as anything outside Halo doesn't interest me. Also Uncharted is great even if its the male version of Tomb Raider.

Remind me to post some of the amazing shitshow that is McCrory accepting an award for how good a job Medicaid did in NC the same day he sabotaged obamacare by refusing subsidies because it wasn't in a good state for expansion.

I personally am fine with that and I think the demographic changes can absorb it, but we should brace ourselves now for some panic a few cycles on when people start to notice the exodus. As a white male voter who's not part of that demographic : gently caress 'em. They had decades of everything their way, now they can get used to not being the sole focus of the entire country.

Tiny Brontosaurus posted:It's totally fine, great if you like improv which I kinda don't. There's one joke that had me dying though Haven't seen it, but that's pretty much what I've heard. The director apparently was banking on a funny dynamic between four funny comedians creating a funny result, and I just don't think it happened. I did hear that Leslie Jones was way better than the previews suggested.

A lot of really lucrative stuff (like in-flight movies) is dependent on the movie being an "official" major American film, which is why you occasionally see stuff hit the theaters here that was blatantly never intended for American audiences (Rio's always my go-to example here, but there are lots of others, especially anything that looks like it could be a tv movie except for some aging A-lister starring). Wait, what? That was just to grab international markets? Didn't Rio 2 also hit theaters?

Parent chat Bad news: My mom has horrible opinions backed up with even worse reasoning.I had to spend some time with my mom a few weeks ago. Despite my best intention to not bring up anything political, she does a horrible job reading a room and started sharing with me. She hates Hillary, doesn't really like Donald but at least he's not Hillary. In between her vitriolic diatribes about Hillary she stated "I guess I'd prefer a businessman over another attorney." She also said "Lord, please just give me Ben Carson." Good news: She currently lives in Oregon, so it don't loving matter nationally how bad her views are. Better news: My dad & step-mom who live in Colorado are both progressive as gently caress. My mom's twin (a retired attorney who supports my financially) and 2 other sisters also live in Colorado and at least one is progressive as gently caress, and the other I think is at least left leaning (she and I have talked politics once or twice).

You really are a complete moron aren't you? Did you just forget the last 2 presidentials where the democrats nominated a black guy with a Muslim name who won twice, easily? Race and sex has nothing to do with this.

this part is definitely true Grouchio posted:Is there a reason why the most recent polls are narrow compared to Early October's? Does it even matter at this point? tons of reasons, too many to truly go into in one post but for starters: 1) media got tired of "Trump is losing bigly!" narrative 2) effects of debates and Access Hollywood tape wore off 3) it's very likely that pollsters are loving up. Not all of them, and we won't know how until after the election, but not all of these polls can be right 4) HRC back in the media spotlight due to Comey (her supporters didn't care but it prob put some ind/und back in Trump's court) emdash fucked around with this message at 22:29 on Nov 3, 2016 |

fosborb posted:Wait, what? That was just to grab international markets? Didn't Rio 2 also hit theaters? Sure, for the same reason. Rio did fine in the states but it was built from the ground up for the international market. There's way more awareness of carnivale internationally, not just in South America but in Europe where it takes on a lot of the connotations we hold for Mardi Gras and Vegas

Rosalind posted:Sure. I just want to be clear that my dad is not a bad person--generally he really looks out for people he considers friends and family and is constantly doing pretty selfless things. He just has really stupid political opinions for some reason. I don't really get it. So loving sick of this type of thinking. We all stand around the water cooler with people who would have been voting for Hitler or supported Japanese internment or whatever and then make excuses and say "but they're not bad people". No, they are bad people. The fact that they do the right thing when it's easy like helping people they love doesn't mean poo poo. Being a good person is about doing the right thing when it's scary or hard or both. Helping out someone you already love and trust when you have the means readily available is a fine thing to do, but all but the worst people would do it! Helping out someone when they are different from you and scary and you know it's going to hurt your bottom line is HARD and that's what people like your father won't and can't do, and that's why they aren't good enough to be "not a bad person."

I bet if Obama wasn't literally the most gifted and talented orator and campaigner in two generations you'd have been bitching and moaning they didn't pick Howard Dean or whatever the gently caress.

Couple pages back, sorry. I thought this line of reasoning was why that god-awful Warcraft movie was made as well. I lived in Taipei for a year then in Beijing a few years back, and while cinema in TW was great for foreign releases (also assigned seating in movies like arclight :3), in China, Western movies were...interesting. I saw Iron Man 3 with some friends, and they spliced in some scenes solely for Chinese audiences, and they were a bit jarring. OTOH, the bit in the beginning where that 'Blue' song is playing was dubbed in with Chinese singing, which was kickass.
