At least you're heading to a reasonable place. All of New England is like 65% fully vaccinated.

In an ideal world, everyone would get six months of full parental leave and then daycare and preschool would be fully covered for every child six months and up at accredited institutions up to a certain amount. Also, childcare providers and preschool teachers should make a lot more than they do. It's just putting money into the economy at that point. Nothing is put into the economy when you have one parent stay at home, taking care of their kids for free. I'd say it should be a straight cash payout. If a mom or dad wants to pocket the money and stay at home with their kid/s good for them. If another wants to spend that money on childcare because they can make more working, they should be able to. If another wants to spend it on paying their retired parent to watch the kids while they go to school, they would be able to. There is literally no such thing as throwing money away here because even my local, legal weed dispensary is part of the economy and collecting taxes. These payments should last until the the kids are teens and should be able to care for themselves after school, all year round. The fun part here is that school only runs to like 2:30 in my city, so what do you do with a six year old that's done with class when their parent works a 9-5? What do parents normally do with their kids during summer vacation? In my city, summer school only runs through July, leaving the entire month of August completely up in the air. My siblings left them with my parents, but since my father died a couple years back, my mother isn't really able to watch a bunch of kids for 9 hours a day. Again, yay for working from home due to COVID. I literally have zero idea what we would have done were I not home all day long.

Not even close. There also aren't anywhere close to enough qualified babysitters available for the hours you'd need to cover here. At these hours, you're really looking for a full time nanny and not everyone can afford that. We had one before COVID and we paid her literally half of my wife's paycheck. I've been working from home since then so there wasn't any need, not that I could afford it either. My wife and I are almost back to working the same number of hours we were before COVID, but our old nanny is obviously not available anymore. Luckily, nobody is trying to force me back into the office.

No. I loved Xenosaga for what it was at the time, but these Xenoblade games simply play better. That doesn't take into account that Xenosaga 2 felt like the longest game ever made. I know these Xenoblade games are actually longer, but the old Xenosaga games felt longer with the way they were padded out. There are some aspects of older JRPGs that make then hard to go back to and Xenosaga sort of rubs them all in your face.

Best part... All of it should be nuked from orbit.

Exactly. A "short" rape isn't a thing. It's just rape. However, I completely fail to understand how kissing someone unrelated to the rape is "playing with fire". Women aren't allowed to kiss people in public now?

Wait, the other reason for the lowered sentence is because she was making out with some other dude that was completely unrelated to the rape? What kind of fucked up sense is that? Even if she were to be kissing her would be rapist, it still wouldn't make sense, but she was kissing some other random guy.

I never finished it, but it is. It doesn't hurt that they seemed to have reigned in the scope a little to help.

She's awful. It has nothing to do with skin. Bridget is a great design. As is Perun and even Zenobia. Dahlia is just bad.

You can also just not use her, like I did for like 70% of the blades in this game.

The blades were designed by different artists. Some of them were beyond awful, but some of them were also really good.

Also, Trump should be credited with the vaccine, but also it's a Bill Gates 666G microchip.

Not a member of Congress, but just in case anyone ever thought the Republicans in Massachusetts were any better... Mass. GOP vice chair resigns after blog accuses him of sending "creepy" comments to women WWW.NEWSWEEK.COM Tom Mountain said that he would be resigning as vice chairman of the Massachusetts GOP to immediately "focus on an effort to clear my name."

I just want to make note. Those people on the trade floor are some of the most insufferable asshats I've ever worked with. I did one year of IT support for the team from Deutsche Bank and it was horrible. Nothing like talking to some dudebros with wildly inflated egos freaking out because they're hung over and can't remember a password or something.

Nobody actually cares about sportsmanship. Colored athletes are the only ones held to this silly standard and are criticized for straying from it. White athletes that actually hold to that standard, like Tom Brady, are viewed as boring because nobody actually enjoys those interviews.

I think you'll appreciate the Sony's short summary for this movie.

Yeah, but also Carnage was always terrible, so there's that too.

I think I've said this from the beginning of the pandemic. The answer was never eviction moratoriums. That was always going to be a ticking time bomb. The real answer is relief, either in the form of direct payments or a moratorium on rent and mortgage payments. The latter would have been a hit to lenders so was never a realistic option in this country and the first was held up because this country is run by short sighted assholes.

Last I saw, they are losing money, before any lawsuits are taken into account, but it's mostly about punishing the poor, so it's worth the cost.

The three I have is enough for me.

Cool. An Activision employee snuck two cameras in an office bathroom and they chose to handle it internally...

Hey, the original release date was my birthday. I would have noticed.

Nothing will be learned from this because Trump-endorsed candidates lose ALL THE TIME. Nearly half of his endorsements in 2018 lost and he only did better in 2020 because the vast majority of his endorsements went to incumbents.

Let's get this party started with the Jaguars... Why Your Team Sucks 2021: Jacksonville Jaguars | Defector DEFECTOR.COM Two years from now, after yet another 1–15 season, Urban Meyer will get bored and then have the Jags’ medical staff research a plausible fake diagnosis so that he can re-re-re-re-re-retire and magically... This is actually true. I will likely skip their games versus the Patriots while pretending Urban Meyer isn't a person that exists anymore.
