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?

Yeah, but which one?

I'm not sure what Xbox Live has to do with pre-ordering. These days if you have Game Pass you're technically supporting a whole host of indies.

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.

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.

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.

They're not wrong for the most part. Good white chocolate has cocoa butter, but a lot of the cheaper stuff substitutes this with various oils. No cocoa in sight.
