Hobby to Profession, Looking for success stories
I have always had a full time job even since starting my commercial gam mak. But that's not necessary for everyone by any means. Other than just a steady paycheck, my full time job is one of my primary connections to the outside world. Otherwise I would be a starving artist shut-in type just doing gam mak all the time.
Granted, my full time job isn't something like a Doctor or a General Manager or something else with long, grueling hours. I have a comfy 40 hour per week office job and have passed by numerous promotion/management opportunities which would have destroyed my ability to do gam mak due to the increased responsibility (can't be creative when you worked a 12 hour day and are exhausted)
But then again, if I hadn't had one hit game with Skyborn, I think it would be a much, much harder sell to my wife sacrificing so much for the sake of gam mak. I feel very fortunate that I have the ability to keep both a "real" life going with a robust energy and free time left over to gam mak.

are our counterculture movements becoming as short-lived as our iphones?
Interesting way of putting it. Does feel like things are careening out of control at break neck pace no one can really keep up with. It's like the moment I am caught up and with it, they go and change everything again and suddenly I'm a bad person again :(

Nope, this isn't possible. So therefore, I give up on trying to get along. It's impossible to deal with being outnumbered 10 to 1, especially when so many of them lie.
I did not name call. The only name-calling has been from you to me. Don't lie about what happened because you don't like me.
I understand liberals have immunity here, and can get away with more than conservatives. I get it. It's just the way it is.
So therefore, screw it. Trump president nah. You had 8 years of your guy mucking up the works, we'll get 4 to 8 of ours doing just the same. We had to deal with it, now you get to deal with it. Oh and also, Supreme Court ours nah. For a lot longer than 4 to 8 years. I make no pretenses that it will be some awesome presidency. He'll probably screw up some things and get wins elsewhere. You'll be happier if you just accept he's the president and encourage your fellow lefties to stop with this eternal temper tantrum.
I want to see you guys take your opinions to a more universal and/or intellectually diverse subset of the population. It's not so ridiculously easy when not everyone automatically agrees with you and you get to dogpile the one guy who doesn't.

Reality? Russians hacked the election. Russians hacked the Super Bowl. We are tolerant and non-racist but white males are bad and it's okay to punch them as long as we call them Nazis. Global warming is global cooling is climate change is... not sure anymore. It's okay to kill unborn babies, but the death penalty is bad. We are for women's rights and also Sharia Law at the same time somehow. I am white but I identify as black. I'm a pedophile but please understand my plight. Equal pay is not enough. There are 47 genders, no there are 97 genders. War is bad unless our side does it. Violence is bad unless our side does it. Debt is good for the economy. The West is responsible for slavery even though it was standard practice for thousands of years and ended by the West.
...Reality, eh?
Also, upon a closer look, the number of sources that attempt to paint the Muslim no-go zones as myth are far outnumbered by the sources that instead show reality. Looks like you ignored my last post and yes, you do think you should be able to point a gun at my head, and force me to take in "refugees", foot the bill, and let them vote so they can take even more.
Democrats, the party of brute force.
President Trump
Even if everything you're saying about how clean, well-behaved, and perfect and nice they are is true (it's not, see trashed Europe full of no-go zones to the native Europeans)
What if we just don't want them around? Just lazily dismiss them (more than half the country) as racist, call them rednecks or white trash, and move on, right?
What if we don't want the government to force them upon us? Too f'ing bad, right? Pay more taxes and let them into your lives... or else.
Liberals aren't very liberal. They love to use force for just about everything these days. Including crushing the idea of freedom of association.
And yes, it is only for political leverage. The Cubans skewed more right-wing than other groups, having lived through the horrors of socialism brought to its logical conclusion, but that is just one small group among many, who always, always vote for more free stuff (Democrats.) Did you know that Western countries are rejecting petitions for South Africans to flee their Armageddon-like conditions? Why be selective about who to help?

Snopes. lol
Instead of going back and forth with sources, which are basically all going to tell you the story with whatever bias...
I did some more research on the updated facts today, and it seems that yes, the vast majority of these "refugees" were in fact young strong males, up until about the last few months, where it's now even.
You could have just said that instead of linking Snopes(lol) and telling me I'm completely wrong. The situation is nuanced and you ignored the part where the first year or so of this migrant invasion was young males.
Still mostly young males if you look at the accumulation. Shouldn't they be fighting to better their homelands? Seems to me refugees should be truly desperate and needy people. Even if you want to invite every young strong male in the planet to live in the West (more Democrat voters is the real reason), shouldn't the proportion be mostly female, children, and elderly? Refugees sure do look good these days.

The two are similar, and Trump isn't banning based on religion. The fact remains that no matter what, people will criticize Trump for actions that, if executed by Obama, would get a pass. No matter what, people like you will use confirmation bias for the next 4 to 8 years, and call Trump a failure, even if he cures cancer, AIDS, and colonizes Alpha Centauri.
Also, it's odd that you, Soli who lectures me to be careful on sources, rely solely on politifact, known far and wide to be obviously biased.
Neversilent, you are beginning from the perspective that the US owes something. So much so that you can force me at the barrel of a gun to pay more taxes and compromise the social cohesion and trust of my neighborhoods because you feel the US owes something. I disagree that I owe something.
Even so, it's better for everyone to find another solution if you really want to help. Why is your only solution moving them here? That should be done carefully, when someone actually wants to assimilate and become a part of the American way of life. Have you considered, perhaps, putting resources into helping them where they are, or perhaps, countries with similar cultures? The dominant American culture is very incompatible with Sharia law.

Well, at least you seem interested in actual conversation after all, harmonic. To be honest, I was afraid you might block off any attempt at exchange right away in order to make your theory of irreconcilable extremes a self-fulfilling prophecy. I'm glad that doesn't seem to be the case.
See, since you didn't call me names, nor did you focus on how much you don't like me personally in your response, (you actually focused on the subject matter) I didn't block you.
It's amazing how that works - people don't get defensive when they're not attacked!
I would be a lot more convinced on the "refugee" thing if they weren't predominantly healthy, well-dressed males in their prime. Not seeing much in the way of orphans or widows. Also, the United States has a right to choose who gets in and who doesn't. Forced association is highly antithetical to constitutionalism. Those who want an unending stream of these young, strong, well-dressed "refugee" men need to make the argument as to why we should allow them to live in the West, get free stuff, and vote (obviously voting for who gives them the most free stuff, Democrats). It shouldn't be the other way around, where we have to make the argument as to why not, because in a sane world, that should be taken for granted. Also, Obama did a travel ban for Iraqis and no one batted an eye. This is nothing new or unique, but once Orange Hitler does it, commence the shit fit. It is very disingenuous - both the outrage and the "altruism" displayed by saying other people should help refugees... or else.

President Trump
Yes, Trump has already proven his presidency will be an imperial one. Kinda like the last guy.
That's the problem with setting new precedents. They tend to stick around.
In my ideal world, the new imperial presidency will undo that precedent set by the last one, and then die off naturally.
But very likely, Trump will take the imperial thing even further. And those of us who want our neighborhoods to be safe, our country to retain its national identity, and to serve its own people first, we'll be pleased, until the lefty comes along and shoves it back into globalism with perhaps even more imperial gusto and even more accusations of "agree with me or you are racist".
I don't like it, it's just reality.

HOLY FREAKING COW. Atlanta fans - my condolences. I didn't really care who won but that 4th quarter was freakin' unbelievable. Holy cow.
