Does conflict of interest not exist in the US, or is it encouraged to get yourself elected and just be openly corrupt?

Why not just declare yourself a massive wage straight from the budget?

The Crew was great in its time. It was basically the bridge between Test Drive Unlimited (superior open world gameplay) and early Forza Horizon (superior driving physics). Later Forza Horizon games simply took all the good gameplay features from both TLU and The Crew and is unmatched in quality now.

The Crew 2 was worse than both its predecessor and the competing Forza Horizon at that time, so if you were talking about that I'd half agree. But it's still a problematic industry trend worth stopping.

It's funny to me that you put it this way. Just because in the UK it is historically a punishment for traitors to be quartered.

I was going to say because it would be fucking weird if we just had one big nose hole. Now I'm thinking about it, our nostrils are already pretty weird.

I'm now looking in the mirror at my nostrils and pumping them to the beat of a song.

That's not strictly true. While the whole "milk makes your bones strong" line was found to be greatly overstated, there's still a lot of calcium in milk and combined with vitamin D that makes for stronger bones. Most importantly exercise improves bone density, so maybe it's true if you chug a bunch of milk while completely sedentary.

I enjoy the amount of people coming into a literal shitpost to complain about the accuracy of the post.

It feels like Brighton are playing Football Manager and slapping a £100m price tag on anyone they don't really want to sell.

Good on them, it's definitely working.

Additionally to the other replies, a lot of players (seemingly more prevelant in foreign players) have more of a desire to be in and around London given the choice.

I didn't realise Greyhound long distance services were considered risky to the point that your children might die on the journey.

I don't agree necessarily with arbitrary maturity lines like drinking at 18/21, but suggesting people might be thought of as adults at 14 is madness. Most kids aren't finished going through puberty at that age and it's different for everyone (by like 5-6 years potentially). I think 18 is the "arbitrary" age for most things because 99% of kids have finished puberty at that age and we aren't in a rush to get those 14-18 year old working in factories.

The whole "capitalism delayed adulthood to 18" arguement doesn't make sense to me considering very capitalist mills and sweatshops have historically used child labour throughout history.

Also, very important point most people ignore, the human brain doesn't finish developing until around 25.
