Is it normal to pay cash for rent in the US? I've always done it by bank transfer, set up to pay automatically on the agreed date..

Seems like a great way to perform tax fraud.

You're being respectful?

Good joke.

Since we're talking RTS, do you have time to talk about my shameless plug for http://beyondallreason.info?

This style of RTS appeals much more to me in recent years. Feels less like you need to perform like a speedrunner.
So much QOL compared to the APM spamfests other RTS can become.

-Making a watch: No
-Making a watch for space: Yes

-Making fireworks: No
-Making a nuclear bomb: Yes

Yeah well, they can pipe up when their reality shattering edge cases actually start occurring. Until then, good enough is good enough.

Oh yeah, I meant to express I was painting a comparison with animals and nature, not pedophelia.

Also, my address won't show on that site :)

Survival dance sounds interesting ;) But yes, humans are herd animals really. We figured out we're stronger together and set some common rules, and we don't want to be left outside so we conform.

Irony is, we're also predators - and crucially our own is not excluded from predation. (in the nature sense not the sex offender sense)

This has to be the worst way to inform yourself you could possibly choose. Very telling.

most hated type of illegal protester in the world.

Fucking lol, real first world problems over here.

You're saying "it is what it is", but what you're actually saying is this is how it should be while others are arguing it should not.

Change the law and your argument evaporates.
