That $59 million was spent on housing immigrants. Of which SOME of the money was for luxury hotels. I have not seen an actual amount specified.

If you look deeper you’ll see it’s only a partial truth, like most things political. The individual pieces are truth, the whole is not.
- Comment on Trakt.tv has set stricter limits for free users and raised VIP subscription prices by 100%. 4 days ago:
Well, glad I never kept up with things on that site. I found TrackSeries more convenient.

Just what a growing boy needs.
- Comment on Uhmm.. WTF? 2 weeks ago:
I like that MC’s relatives all have beauty marks by their mouth and one more gets added for each new generation.
Also, second cousin might be creepy but is probably far enough removed to not matter much. Not sure where my cut off line would be. I don’t know all of my first cousins and I don’t think I’ve ever met any second cousins. It’s a bit more of a “would I even figure out if they are a second cousin” situation than anything else. I sure as hell wouldn’t be able to figure out any third cousins. I don’t know enough of my family history for that.
- Comment on Honey Lemon Soda - Episode 3 discussion 2 weeks ago:
I like the concept of the anime but everything just feels a bit too unrealistic. Even the eyes of all the girls are unrealistic. But the eye of all the guys look normal.

Having bad information in your dataset surely has to increase the odds of hallucinations though.
- Comment on Sony's Crunchyroll Finds Its Early Lead in Anime Under Attack 1 month ago:
Plenty watch using Crunchyroll. At this point there’s only 2 anime-only sites in aware of: Crunchyroll and Hi-Dive. Even though I didn’t subscribe to Funimation, I was not happy when they were purchased by Crunchyroll. There isn’t enough competition in the area now.
No one is getting Netflix, Prime, Hulu, whatever to watch anime. I’m sure as hell not. I’ll watch what they have if I already have the service though. At best it’s a bonus. Any popular anime that’s on a non-anime only site is likely going to be pirated far more. Might even stretch that to anything not on Crunchyroll at this point.

So now they can just tell me I’m being fucked and can’t do anything about it? Progress?

- Comment on Feds Accuse HelloFresh Of Employing Migrant Kids At Factory In Sanctuary State Illinois 2 months ago:
I’m not sure what the actually problem is here since they only mention that these “kids” are “teenagers.” Could be 13, could be 19. And the age matters a lot. I worked as a teen, and quite a few others did too. Not weird or illegal. Think I was 16 for my first job.
Also, I saw this gem of a quote. ‘Homan said, “Where do we find most victims of sex trafficking and forced labor trafficking? At worksites…”’ So, people being forced to work were found… where they work. Shocking I tell you, shocking.

Yea, but usually you pay to not have it leaked, rather than the other way around.
- Comment on The next Dragon Age game might be another "reinvention", say BioWare, drawing parallels with Final Fantasy 2 months ago:
“Final” Fantasy. Ain’t nothing final about the two dozen games they got.

- Comment on Three Men Die When Google Maps Tells Them to Drive Off Unfinished Bridge 2 months ago:
Man, I went to like 3 different Targets to find an item because the company that made the item said those Targets carried it. None of them did.
Of course, nothing is better than a store saying they carry an item when they in fact do not. That happens pretty frequently when I’m looking for something specific. Not out of stock mind you, but they will never have stock.
