Having to play Ocarina of Time - Seriously, do yourself a favor, put it down and play Majora's Mask

Russia WILL invade the Ukraine How should the U.S. respond to the coming Russian invasion of Ukraine? Since we're making predictions, I'll propose my own: If Alperovitch is right and Putin launches an invasion of Ukraine, the United States and NATO will raise rhetorical hell about it from Washington and Brussels, but they will do nothing to stop it militarily. And that, as Alperovitch points out, "would put a permanent end to all talk of Ukraine, Georgia, Belarus, or any Central Asian states of ever joining NATO."

Curious, what exactly happened to take VGS down? Was it a dos attack?

So that's another thing. If you purchased $800 worth of games, played them, then sold them on ebay for $600 you still have to worry about it. It will still be reported and then the question becomes 1)Do I have to have receipts? 2)What if I don't have receipts from who knows how long ago? It becomes a headache, and most likely in these situations you're going to end up double-taxed.

I feel that many people on eBay fall in this category. Purchase something, sell it later, sometimes for profit, sometimes at a loss. I'm guessing with the new regulations the IRS is treating everything as a business, but as you noted, for many many it's just a fun hobby. Now, it's a real mess...

I'm waiting for the same thing to happen with teachers. I can't think of another sector that has provided dedicated people such poor income, while telling them to "just deal" with any abusive parents and kids (obviously most parents and kids are not abusive, but I've seen first-hand students abuse high school teachers and the teachers tell me they are not allowed to do anything about it), not to mention having to deal with bureaucracy and incompetent administrators.... and yet many people seem to think "hey, you signed up for this!" NOPE. Teachers sign up to teach and help students, to be mentors and guides. The Great American Teacher Exodus https://www.jacobinmag.com/2021/12/schools-shortages-pay-conditions-stress-covid-19 Before COVID-19, paltry salaries were supplemented by powerful nonpecuniary rewards, like the pride teachers feel when facing a classroom of smiling students eagerly engaged in dialogue. Social distancing, remote learning, and innumerable added stressors upon reopening have made it much harder to feel those rewards. All of this is compounded by the fact that educators are risking their health to teach in person, using up their sick days to quarantine, and often feeling that the leaders in charge of their working conditions do not value their safety.
