Fuck PS5, this is the wildest shit in gaming right now:

https://kotaku.com/gamestop-we-can-stay-open-during-lockdowns-because-wer-1842415962

Quote
The struggling video game retail chain GameStop told all of its stores this afternoon to stay open even in the event of state or city lockdowns to protect against the covid-19 pandemic, emphasizing that it is “essential retail” alongside groceries and pharmacies and should therefore be exempt from enforced closures.

“Due to the products we carry that enable and enhance our customers’ experience in working from home, we believe GameStop is classified as essential retail and therefore is able to remain open during this time,” the retailer said in a memo to staff this afternoon, obtained by Kotaku.

 :lol :lol

JFC. It's unfortunately bad news that closing shops will probably put a ton of employees in a precarious position but trying to warp reality through marketing lingo to believe you qualify as "essential" is pathetic. Barbers have a better case than them.

Regardless of it the numbers on paper may look like, the hardware choices Sony made for PS5, could really help out in destroying COVID-19.

I don't know. I could buy a lot of packs of toilet paper for that price.

Yeah. It does go to show that depending on what side of the market you are in, this crisis could either cripple your business or help it. I mean the supermarket chains right now are booming. Some supermarkets are actually desperately looking for more staff in my area.

I also imagine business is going well for Amazon right now. Not that it actually needed it. But I can't see how Covid-19 could be anything but a benefit to them.

on one hand:  send people home, don't pay laid off employees, don't pay to keep the lights on or heat the building, save $$$

on the other:  stay open and sell 1 game a day to a bro who certainly has the virus because he doesn't respect non-essential travel restrictions that cities and states are implementing, but at least the person manning the store is getting paid

You know, I gamble once in a while on the football. The thing is now, all sporting events have been cancelled. So now I keep getting emails desperately trying to get me to gamble in the casino or virtual slot machines (lol). Get £20 worth of free bets when you deposit X amount. Get 30 free spins on the slot machines. You would get this kind of shit anyway, but the offers sent and the frequency of them is noticeable.

Holy shit, people are confused by this, AND they think it was actual piss in the jar?

:mindblown
My favorite movie criticism is nitpicks that reveal the critic as an idiot who didn’t pay attention.

BvS May be bad, but I mean the jar is a clear reference to the Senator’s line about being able to see through shit. They explain the bomb as being in a lead container which Superman can not see through. Which sure this weakness is not established before, it’s still known in our real life culture.

And while I do think the themes of the movie are kind of mishandled, I don’t know I don’t understand how it’s hard to get Alex’s motivation. He wants to prove Superman is evil and flawed. He manipulates flawed hero Batman to kill him. Doomsday sucks not because it’s exactly stupid, it’s because the writing of the themes and the construction of Super hero movies needs a final villain for people to fight. The writing simply lacked imagination and skill to balance its themes and end with supes and bats on the same side. So it just throws a final villain with the rationale that I guess Lex just had a back up plan.

The movie is kind of bad. But lame criticism is just as bad.

Business Skype?
There's this shit called Lync that most corporations are on.
But they're using an old version called Skype for Business because people don't know how to update.

You're asking people who still use Internet Explorer 10 or Windows XP to work from home remotely.
This is not going to work. I get screenshots send from people with 1024x768 monitors.  :dizzy

I usually ask them if their PC was made before or after Bush invaded Iraq.

It also doesn't help that the product names don't change anymore or they don't understand the difference in various brands.
"I have an iPad"

"No sir, you don't and the kid that made that monstrosity probably jumped from the Foxconn building a decade ago"

MSFT got rid of Lync ages ago lol.

The movie is kind of bad. But lame criticism is just as bad.
Lex outright states to Superman that "Doomsday" was his backup plan if the heroes came together rather than Batman killing Superman. If Batman had never heard "Martha" and killed him, Lex probably would have saved Doomsday for later. (Or he might have unleashed Doomsday to kill Batman anyway.)

The Senator earlier warns Lex not to pee in a jar and tell her it's peach tea or whatever as in "don't lie to me." It's a take off on lines like Judge Judy's "don't pee on me and tell me it's raining" line. They have a whole shot establishing that Luthor has a saved seat up front, and then aligns the shot so she notices the tea/pee and that he's gone from his seat. THEN she looks at Superman (which is supposed to be relevant as she's been a critic yet still looks to him) and the bomb goes off. There's literally nothing confusing about the scene. Lex wants her to know he did lie and manipulate her before he kills her, but he also doesn't want to be there when he blows up the damn room. (And for the comic knowledge fan he also notably sacrifices Mercy to keep the plan tight.)

The Ultimate Cut makes the whole plot of Lex's make more sense but like you noted, this isn't even nitpicking it's missing the clearly obvious in either cut.

The problem is that I want blood. I want Trump and his allies to be investigated, and have charges brought against them to--at the very least--recoup the money they've swindled from the Treasury. I want every ICE agent fired. I want the terror brought upon immigrant communities to end and to have steps taken to make things right (to the extent that's even possible). These things don't require legislation; they require a bold executive. Sanders would have at least tried. I don't believe Biden will do enough.

We just can't let these motherfuckers get away with this once we get the keys back.

It's like these fucking idiot marks think the Democrats are out there actually representing them and their interests. Or that the Democrats actually think there is a "we" at all.

There is a reason the rest of the world didn't really give a shit who won between Trump and Hilary, because the outcome would still be the same. Many of the lefties I know actually felt that Trump and his "America first" isolationism would be better than Hilary "We came, we saw, he died" Clinton.

UPDATE:
Quote
Talking with a few lawyers, free consultations of course, it turns out disability is exempted in state bankruptcy proceedings. With $1m on the hook, it's possible TDA will try to remand to federal bankruptcy.

Right now it's looking like - get it done in state - off the hook. Get it done in federal - disability money garnished at 25% for 10 years, then debt forgiven and IRS taxes the forgiven amount. Possibly garnished a lot more as I def don't need $15k/mo to maintain my lifestyle. Gonna need a super lawyer to keep it in state as I stayed in CA the entire time, opened the account in CA, and TDA has state presence by having physical retail buildings so are bound to state creditor laws.

TL;DR
May be paying a lawyer 100k-1m to not owe 1m to keep it in state court, lol. I need the best here as they'll bring the best.

AND:
Quote
OP, have your lawyers advised you to remain quiet about this? I have a feeling your posts may end up in the bankruptcy court case and TDA's lawyers may try to leverage your posts against you.
Quote
Good point. I should probably delete. Probably too late as it's probably archived. =/ No one told me about being quiet.

As nearly all non-essential commerce and public gatherings lock down worldwide, and you’re left with little to do with your time while monotonously stuck at home working remotely or on leave, you can rest assured that your favorite video game forum will remain open for business—no masks or social distancing required.

Be sure to drop by and argue about the next-gen console reveals in our Next-Gen PS5 & XSX |OT| Speculation/Analysis/Leaks Thread, or if your blood pressure can’t tolerate that 24/7 for the next six months, try repeatedly pressing F5 on the Gaming home page for a steady stream of news and discussions. Alternatively, if you happen to despise video games now, head over to our Off-Topic section for lighter fare and general hijinks.

If you haven't visited NeoGAF in a while, you'll be pleasantly surprised at the brisk level of activity and fun vibes to be had.

Stay safe and be well.

 

Regards,

NeoGAF Team

Fuck PS5, this is the wildest shit in gaming right now:

The struggling video game retail chain GameStop told all of its stores this afternoon to stay open even in the event of state or city lockdowns to protect against the covid-19 pandemic, emphasizing that it is “essential retail” alongside groceries and pharmacies and should therefore be exempt from enforced closures.

“Due to the products we carry that enable and enhance our customers’ experience in working from home, we believe GameStop is classified as essential retail and therefore is able to remain open during this time,” the retailer said in a memo to staff this afternoon, obtained by Kotaku.

 :lol :lol

JFC. It's unfortunately bad news that closing shops will probably put a ton of employees in a precarious position but trying to warp reality through marketing lingo to believe you qualify as "essential" is pathetic. Barbers have a better case than them.

Eh, store level GS employees should have already been saving money/looking for another job.  Even before the wave of store closures, it was well known as a shitty place to work.

We're going to find out that he's gay?

I don't know where to go for advices but I've seen many people here in difficult situations that received the advices and support they needed. I will request your advices please.

I won't badmouth my wife, she's an amazing person that deserves to find the right one. I'm just not that person.

We been Married for 2 years. She never planned to stay in Canada, she was supposed to go back to China once she was done with her studies. But she fell in love with me then the country. She doesn't want to go back. She did get her Permanent Residency thanks to our marriage. But If we divorce within 2 years, it's not longer valid.
She would have to return to China, it would break her now that she has a very bad opinion of the country.

One thing that also doesn't help is that her entire universe turns around me. It's wrong and I wanted her to make friends or find activities. But she was perfectly happy with me being the center of everything. The fact that she doesn't speak French like most people here doesn't help. If I'm not there, she has no one. I don't know how to handle that, it's suffocating.

She doesn't have the best relationship with her own parents who are still in China.

She has shown tendency to have very dark thoughts before me. I'm very worried that she might do something terrible to herself if I leave.

I have to constantly being an emotionnal pillar, I'm not allowed to be sad because she will end up sadder and I will be the one comforting her at the end of it all.

She gave me A LOT, she cares A LOT about me.
I want to leave because I'm not happy, not because she's a bad person.

I'm just lost as to how to handle everything.

EDIT : I may have to look if we have to stay at the same adress for her PR. I see a lot of suggestion for Separating without going through divorce, that seems like a good Idea for the PR part of the situation.

Edit 2 : We tried therapy, but it doesn't help. I still try to push her to get a Therapy but she feels like it does nothing.

when I see the OP name Vestan and I see that the title includes OT, I know that I'm clicking into something special. I know that I'm entering a thread that is not only going to give me the essential information, but a thread that is going to transport me into the world that the OT is representing.

Can someone clear up the tax liability part? I work in a primarily tip based job so my taxable income was only $7500 in 2018, would I qualify for the $1200 ?
