Ever try to open a bottle of aspirin when your wrist hurts from being at the computer too long?
Might want to take a break there or you'll get some nasty chafing.
So.... we want the government to watch parents with teenagers but we dont want them to help single or married people with no kids in the area of... oh I dunno Medical assistance? I call BS.
Funny, I was just thinking the same thing. "Government hands off my health care! Oh, but can you watch my kids for a few hours?"
Come see me when the electricity is gone once civilization tanks.
If and when that happens there will be far bigger problems to worry about such as food, shelter and sanitation.
You're right about the flying mounts; it was silly of them to make what is essentially the next upgrade after the fast epic mount be SLOWER than the thing it's replacing. Fortunately the standard flying mount is getting more than 2x faster in the next major patch, and also somewhat cheaper. Ground mounts are getting a LOT cheaper.
Mounts aside, in over four years of playing WoW I've never felt the absolute MUST HAVE desire for anything in-game. Sure, I've wanted some things (dungeon armor sets, for example) but never to the point of paying for gold to get them. To me paying for gold so I can buy some really nice item is basically just turning that item into nothing more than a reflection of the size of my real-world disposable income. I would rather there be some sense of accomplishment attached to it,even if it's just a lot of farming or holding out for six months until my regular game play has built up enough gold for it.
Then again, I'm what you might call a "hard-core casual" player. I play quite a bit, but I just play to have fun and I'm not overly concerned with comparing myself to everyone else in the game. Usually after I hit 80 I just start levelling another alt of a class I haven't tried before. I don't even bother with guilds because the casual guilds are almost useless and the alternative are the hardcore guilds that kicks you out because you decided to take a couple weeks off from the game.
California is seriously considering shutting down the vast majority of its state parks to reconcile its budget surplus.
I think you mean budget deficit But if they're having trouble dealing with a surplus then I'd be happy to do my part and take some of that extra cash off their hands.
It's a naive, domestic operating system without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption.
