I think the biggest draw toward BG3 is the replay-ability!

I think I had 200+ hr on my first play through, but I made decisions, that I won't say for spoiler reasons, that cut off multiple entire story lines that I have read are another ~80hrs + of playtime! Super cool, in my opinion.

The players actions CHANGE the world, many games have strived for this, although few have achieved. BG3 achieved!

Why not rich black kids?

Nah, we all know he is going to try and buy up more indigenous land and force out the natives

I think it is VERY IMPORTANT to point out:

Cleft Pallet DOES NOT EQUAL Trisomy 13

Also important, Trisomy 13 is terrible and Texas is wrong:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7282771/

ABSTRACT: The mean survival in Trisomy-13-syndrome patients is reported to be 130 days. We have diagnosed 21 cases of this syndrome in this institution (11 females and 10 males); 15 patients had regular trisomy 13 and 6 had translocation-trisomy 13 karyotypes. The mean survival of the 19 patients who died was 97.05 days; translocation patients survived longer than regular trisomy patients. The oldest living patients with trisomy 13 are a girl 19 and a boy 11 years old. Both are black, have regular trisomy 13 karyotypes and have had most of the manifestations of the syndrome. No mosaicism was detected in repeated cytogenetic studies. The 19-year-old patient is the oldest known living person with regular trisomy 13.

I missed your response, my bad, but I think others have touched on the major point with some pretty good analogies, but I will give you a full response since is a valid question. DISCLAIMER: I am a Software Engineer, not a real estate expert, although I was raised by a real estate expert.

Imagine you are Apple and own "Apple Park" in Cupertino, California.

Apple does not own the property "out-right", they have a mortgage on the property and buildings similar to the average home mortgage, but much more expensive. When you "own" the mortgage, it is up to you who occupies the building, which often is done by contract. When you "own" a building for the purpose of giving your own employees a place to work, you often enter in a contract with "yourself", but most often as a "subsidiary" signing a contract with a "parent company".

Let's say that a subsidiary is "renting" the entire building, but also, 90% employees work remotely. Although you, as the subsidiary, are still "paying rent to" the parent company, you as a subsidiary are losing money by paying for an office space that is mainly unused. So sure, it could be said that the parent company "isn't losing money", however, the subsidiary is since the office is unused and still being paid for. The subsidiary can't just stop renting the office, since they are in a legal agreement with the parent company. This pushes parent companies to enact "return to office policies" so that subsidiaries are paying rent on "required office space". Having "butt's in seats" also helps with maintaining building value as one can prove "hey look, my office building is in demand", even if simply artificial demand through subsidiaries.

Most office buildings, especially if for tech, cost in the hundreds of millions depending on location. If you think tech companies buy them outright rather than mortgage them with the company and assets as collateral, that is incorrect.

In other words... If you have a mortgage on an office building with no one in it, the "market" looks negatively upon that, which brings the building's value down, but not your mortgage payment and interest. Therefore, you are paying more on your mortgage than the value of the building. Similar to buying a car with a car loan, using the crap out of it, and then not touching it for 5 years and expecting it to increase in value. (Car is a bad comparison as 99% of them lose value the second they leave the lot, but is easiest to compare)

I would buy this and hang it on my wall 100%

Going on 1+ years now.

Tomorrow is worth it... I think

As I said previously on other posts...

Homie knew US prison, although most not in a great condition, is MUCH better than the Gulag.

Reading details of his actions on flights he asked for multiple meals multiple times and tired to steal candies from others... almost like, he knew his luxuries were about to be taken away for a LONG time

Is everyone getting more annoying or am I just getting angrier older?

It's about "butts in seats" people.

Big tech companies OWN not rent.

When you OWN an office building, and it is empty, you are LOSING MONEY.

It's about the real estate, nothing else. Open your eyes

Holy shit that's a lot of zero days homies

It will be interesting to see what the Border Patrol union does. It seems as though they are on Texas' side...

From NBPC Twitter Friday, 1/26:

Rank-and file BP agents are not going to start arresting TX NG members for following their LAWFUL orders.

That's fake news. TX NG and rank-and-file BP agents work together and respect each other's jobs. Period. If TX NG members have LAWFUL orders, then they have to carry out those orders.

TX NG members realize that rank-and-file BP agents have their orders as well. Lawful orders, no matter how unpopular or distasteful amongst rank-and-file agents, must be followed. Unlawful orders (as determined by competent legal counsel and not what some outhouse lawyer behind a keyboard says) will not be followed.

Rank-and-file BP agents appreciate and respect what TX has been doing to defend their state in the midst of this catastrophe that the Biden Admin has unleashed on America.

We want to be perfectly clear, there is no fight between rank-and-file BP agents and the TX NG, Gov. Abott, or TX DPS. It may make flashy headlines, but it simply isn't true.

in the midst of this catastrophe that the Biden Admin has unleashed on America.

That almost sounds like they would strike instead
