    Wow, an advertisement with poor animatronics and mediocre reactions from a bunch of faggots. Certainly worthy of praise and a repost.

    Why are people such whiny cunts on this forum

    Phoenix, are you still on your period or is it light days from here on out? Also, are you a person or aperson? Good luck.

    How do you help people with finances?

    You don't. 99% of people's brains just aren't wired to do anything beyond live paycheck to paycheck. One time I told a beggar on the street to go fuck himself and he told me that I was one paycheck away from being in his shoes. I laughed, but for the vast majority of people he would be...

    Frenchmen Street is 100x better than Bourbon Street. Go to Frenchmen, dance all night, and have a great time. Don't listen to the couple of posters above. New Orleans is a great city, there is plenty that is fun to do.

    That happened twice during the time that I had the card. Another time they had a computer error and closed my account randomly. They could not figure out how to reopen it, so I ended up opening a new account and getting a new card, again. So in the span of two years I had four cards issued...

    I had nothing but trouble with my Penfed credit card. I ended up closing the account and couldn't be happier. Incidentally, that was my only credit card and I never applied for another one. I haven't had a CC for over a year now and doubt I'll ever have another.

    When are Victims able to be present at criminal proceedings?

    Criminal proceedings are open to the public. It is extraordinarily rare for any criminal proceeding to be closed to the public or the media, but a judge may and often does exclude television cameras or audio recording devices. You can go to your local state or federal courthouse and sit in on...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Yes, I know what "pay" is, but this isn't "pay." It's a "benefit," also known as non-cash compensation, and there is a big difference. Pay can be used in any way you see fit, since it's money, after all. But benefits often come with strings attached as to how they are used. One such string...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    I'm sure that Uncle Sam had in mind providing you with an exorbitant amount of electricity so you could try, and fail, to pad your own pockets mining bitcoins. Following your logic, a government worker with a take home car should be able to deliver pizzas with it. But that's illegal and...

    You could've just spent that money buying bitcoins directly and be up a good deal already. Buying mining equipment at this point is a losing game even if you get free* electricity. *It's kind of scummy to steal from the taxpayers to pad your own pockets. I'm actually pretty glad karma...

    So? Having rune pages for every champion / role is a necessity to play ranked draft. Having to spend a shitload of in-game currency on rune pages, when Riot could easily make runes alterable in champion select like masteries, is ridiculous. That was an excuse for some champions, but Riot...

    There was a Riot AMA a while back in which someone asked why certain champions rarely if ever have a skin released. The answer was something to the effect that it takes a long time to come up with unique skins that are more than just a retexture: skins that fit into the lore, are creative, and...

    Player made skins into reality: Someone does free concept art for them and they appropriate it, what nice guys. Sales: Rune pages are a ripoff no matter how much they discount them. They only care for players insofar as care translates into $$$.

    Loftish, this may not apply to you, but I cut out starbucks in the morning, instead waking up 15 minutes earlier to make coffee at home. That ended up saving me $30 a week, which I put into savings. French pressed coffee tastes better than starcrap anyway.

    Personal attacks aside... I began investing in tax liens with less than $600/month. I dropped about $500 on the first tax sale that I went to and about $1500 on the one the year after. Tax liens vary, dramatically, between states. I am familiar with the process in Florida, where bidders...
