@TByrne75 If you don't specify a state, they often just follow up with "where in the US." It's not *that* different from people saying "France" instead of "European Union." The USA is double the size of the EU, with vast differences per state; being non-specific doesn't tell you that much.

@xboxBG Not that any game should be rated on the voluptuousness of their characters' butts, nor that it matters in any way to my enjoyment of the game, but I've played 200+ hours of Starfield and you clearly modded Andreja in that comparison.

@ReviewsPossum Art is entirely subjective. I value art by the emotion it elicits in me. The Mona Lisa doesn't do anything for me, and neither does a banana taped to a wall, but if it invokes an emotional response in someone else, it is "art" to them.

@OrdinaryGamers Generally speaking, attempted murder charges require the prosecution to prove "intent," which is a high bar. I'd suggest that "attempted manslaughter" is a better fit in most swatting cases (there was no "plan to kill," but their actions were "negligent or recklessness").

@Bleeeach When you sign up, you have three options. The first (and most expensive) option has no cancellation fee. The second option provides a monthly discount for committing to a year of monthly payments (and does have a cancelation fee). The last option is to pay for a year upfront.
