I was wondering about salaries.
Here I earn around $3000/month (probably $18/hour) before taxes/contributions. What are kind of jobs that can earn that in US?

The software support call center I was working in paid about $17.50 after your first year.

It depends a lot on your qualifications and what field you are looking at. Most entry level jobs that are just generic stuff around where I am (Upstate NY) are going to be minimum wage which is like $9 or something.

I've come to realise how ridiculous it is to max level a single character in bleach brave souls, once you break 80, you have to farm so many stamina shards, it's ridiculous. Not only that need at least 50k gold too! >:

Just for other people in case it happens. I just updated my iPhone and safari was crashing anytime I touched the search/address bar. I had to go into safari's settings and turn off something called "Safari Suggestions" to get it to work again.

So my mom finally asked me to get her Game of Thrones. Goddamnit any other show but that. (the sex and nudity doesn't bother me but she wants to watch it together and that ***aint cool yo) I found censored versions of the show up to season 3 so I'm going to try that lol Maybe she wont notice. Passed season 2 everything kinda mellows out for the most part anyway.

Edit: Well never mind. No one ever seeds these days.

Isn't this Bundy thing about some guy leaving livestock on government land he refused to pay for, then getting pissed off when the government came and took the livestock?

That was the initial thing from last year, yeah. The current gripe is two ranchers who had to go back to prison to complete a five year mandatory minimum sentence for arson on federal land.

Sort of. Except those two ranchers don't even want the support of the idiots who took over the wildlife refuge.

It's not really a "complicated" situation but there's a lot of back story and the like. Would suggest reading up on it if you're interested more or asking in another thread as I don't want to pepper a bunch of political opinion garbage into this thread.

Yeah. The book's been around for quite a while. I'm so tired of the "zombie" genre, but I still might see this. It's a spoof, really, but it's still a pretty funny concept.

Zombies and Nazis are both so boring anymore in games/movies because they're the throwaway. You can kill them by the droves because it's okay: zombies are already dead and you're doing the memory of those people a favor, and Nazis are obviously evil incarnate.

But you put a bunch of pretty women in Victorian clothing and kicking the ***out of zombies?

I'm going to give that a look.

I wish they chose this instead but PP&Z might be entertaining.

I'm just waiting for another Lovecraftian-inspired movie of high quality.

His works don't adapt well directly and any attempts always turn into raunchy slasher/shock films.

The best HPL-inspired/similarly-themed movies are easily John Carpenter's, primarily Thing Thing and In The Mouth of Madness. While the former is based on another man's written work, both the work and the story share themes and a feeling that could be described as Lovecraftian. The latter is an homage to Lovecraft (obviously, given it's similarity in title to At The Mountains of Maddness) with many references and similarities to his works inspiring an original story.

And that's it.

So many others have tried but so few really do well.

Pretty sure this was the first book?

I'm not positive because I've read none of them and am only vaguely aware of the author's work. I just know that P&P&Z is the first one I saw on Thinkgeek many, many moons ago.
