The game might still be enjoyable, but not worth the price.

If lethal company was like 70$, it's still fun but no where near worth that much

So if they still have it and beyond getting a refund, why not play it?

Living is an art. I grew up in a very rich neighborhood, and despite their wealth, many were troubled. Tons of high functioning drug addicts, alcoholics, Hoarders, narcissists, etc. it was kind of surreal.

We also had a family friend who was poor, not verge of homelessness poor, but impoverished relative to the town we lived. Like everyone, he had his fair share of problems, and worked a lot, but he was happy. Very few things deeply troubled him and he always maintained a calm and collected demeanor. Extremely intelligent too. When I was down, upset, angry, or outright furious, he was always there to impart his wisdom, and I am a better man for it.

Seemingly few people recognize the crucial art of living. Not to live without problems but live in spite of them. So many miserable, privileged people I've met in that town.

To be fair, it was a point blank shot, and there wasn't secret service up the ass everywhere.

Ok, why the fuck are pockets sewn shut at all??? I'm a guy and I see clothes like this too. It pisses me off so much, it was so close to being useful, most of a pocket is already there, why would they just give up?

I repair a lot of tech and I have never seen torx other than the standard, and security version. And security torx drivers are compatible with regular torx

The hand crank can openers aren't the only kind, there are also cheap, stamped sheet metal can openers with a blade. These are more fiddly but extremely cheap, and do the job.

Here's some army surplus that's 50c a pop

I mean, 90% chance it's because: still using a hard drive, old ass CPU/heat issues+throttling, OS and software bloat.

Also do trades. People seem to have no perception that quality varies. They assume it's busy work, it's either done or not done, works or don't work. All as if you flip a couple magical switches and everything's finished.

Always frustrating to explain how the electrician that's 15$ an hour is gonna get you killed, and that wiring isn't just snaking cords through a conduit.

Learn to save money. Not as in "don't buy a 5$ coffee, millennial" but fixing things.

I'm kind of a DIY guy and it's saved me a lot of money at random times. Knowing how to safely replace an outlet, a power supply for the dish washer, various little repairs on the car, etc. It might not save a lot though since you're renting.

Also, the United States is over educated in the wrong fields. A lot of trades are desperate for competent workers, and are willing to pay good money for it. Due to the collective societal brainwashing of "work white collar or you are stupid" became a self fulfilling prophecy, there are few left who do good work

Even if you don't have money for classes, you can save enough for the most basic of tools and start practicing until you can try for a job.

Libraries are also a valuable source of knowledge for begining a new career.

I think it's immoral in the sense they rarely involve, or bring their cases to police. Yeah, it sucks to get caught for the predator, but he's still out there capable of harming children.

I think another big issue is that cops are paid like shit. This immediately removes a lot of qualified people because for that effort you could make a lot more money somewhere else.

The only candidates you are left with are those who truly care for the community, and those who get off controlling it.
