Too spooky for me

Yeah, for some it's a crutch that helps them through difficult times so it's not all bad but largely I agree

It seems like a delusion of grandeur. A mental illness.

Israel has dehumanized the people of Palestine for a long time. This is not at all surprising. The western world looks the other way for decades to avoid the uncomfortable truth.

Unpopular opinion but I think the game is in it's best state currently. I spent $40 on 2016 and haven't had to pay a dime since and I'm not playing this PVP game for it's PVE so this stuff doesn't matter to me. Blizzard is a husk of its former self and I'm still bitter about HOTS but am actually having a lot of fun playing comp this season.

All the Republican candidates, except Christie, want to stay in Trump's good graces - they know they can't win if he so much as sneezes at them so they grovel at his feet and just hope he gets disqualified on a technicality.

Wouldn't surprise me if they created this news cycle intentionally to make the point. Upcoming 'election' and all.

I didn't say click random, the point is that there is a ton of content but most people only watch the 0.1% that they pump all the marketing budget into but there are tons of great award winning critically acclaimed shows and movies that people don't bother with, that they would enjoy. I use justwatch.com to filter content.

Sure, it would be great to have access to everything all the time, all I'm saying is that if you have a small amount of discipline and your life isn't crushed by fomo then subscribing to one at a time is sufficient while priced reasonably.

Movies have been very expensive in the short term period after theatrical release, that's why blockbuster would charge $60 if you lost the tape, it's how much they sold to rental stores for before wide release. This higher price is absurd to me but to the studios it's a premium for all the hype they built up, the price will come down after a few months. They are still working out the new models and testing the waters to see what floats.

Eve is a unique game, its incredibly complex and also quite boring most of the time but its a huge sandbox with a lot of different types of gameplay mechanics. When I first started the game myself and several other new players started a corporation and focused on mining and hauling and we ended up growing to about a hundred people at which point some corporations started going to war against us, presumably just for target practice, but we learned how to fight back and it was a really satisfying experience. Later on I joined null sec alliances in big wars, pirate groups leeching off anything that moved in low sec, noob corps mass recruiting and engaging in factional warfare. I haven't played in more than a decade but I'm always thinking about getting back into it - I love the style and complexity of the game but its hard to get much out of it if you don't put a lot of time into it.

I think the game is more or less free to play until you get to a certain point with skills. If you give it another go I recommend getting yourself into a corporation where people will show you the ropes and help you explore different aspects of the game.
