I couldn't care less about the D-pad. All that matters is how it feels in my hand and access to the primary controls like joysticks, triggers, and face buttons.

X-Box 360. I have an old official one for my PC. I played Dark Souls with it so it is now ingrained into my body. Also all the years of Halo.

I really dislike the X-Box One controller. Feels too big in my hand and just off.

I fear the day my wired one breaks since they stopped making official wired ones for PC.

Not the part they are upset with. This particular example it's with welfare. Seeing it as people getting money for not working.

A lot of people also don't understand the benefits taxes provide as you described but not what I am talking about.

I thought for sure the featured pic was a Femroe from FF14.

I have been thinking about this as well. I am sure there is some probelm with a spending side tax rather than income. Probably subversion of the tax. Undertable deals, street vendors, etc. With income they make the company track and get their cut before you are able to subvert anything.

Also our economy is very credit based with the use of credit cards. If taxes were all collected at point of sale there might be probelms with defaulting and who gets the money if people don't pay.

I am not an economist. I am sure someone has thought of it already.

It's a really hard mindset to break because at it's surface it make sense. Especially when you focus on fringe cases.

Like I am sure there are people who abuse the system, but it's not a good life, they don't make that much off of it. No one is living large off welfare. The "welfare queen" stereotype had been by and large disproven, but has left a lasting effect on people's opinion.

Personally I rather have a few $ slip through and make sure kids arn't starving.

A big part of it is the view that the left "gives money away". Union jobs are typically labor with long hous and their view is that "I work hard for the money I eared and my taxes go to the lazy".

I think that's bullshit obviously, but that is a pretty common sentiment from my experience.

Grinding at strip club isn't illegal, hooker is.

It's clear you don't have the same desires as people who go to these things. There isn't really a point of trying to understand why, especially if you question explanations others give.

Take a step back and realize that dispite it not making sense to you, people are doing it and are enjoying it.

I don't understand the appeal myself, but it's not some cosmic secret that needs unraveled.

Woman pretty, woman pay attention to me (maybe), activity gives my brain the happy chemical.

Sounds like he is helping the FBI out on a sting operation in exchange for a lighter sentence.

He is talking to the gurney.
