  • The delisted games dealt in subject matter that is difficult to justify.

    The problem is who gets to decide what’s “difficult to justify”. That should be up to the individual, not the payment card company.

    MasterCard doesn’t need to help anybody buy “games” about incest, rape, or sexual assault of minors.

    That might be your opinion, but again, who gets to decide what’s on that list? If you don’t think those games need to be played, then don’t play them. It’s not hurting anyone when someone plays a video game, no matter how icky the game makes you feel. No one is forcing you to play anything.

    I’ve never regretted anything I’ve done. I only regret the things I didn’t do, the thing I didn’t say, the feelings I didn’t express.

    My mistakes were required to grow and learn. They’re part of me and don’t define me; we’re all better than our worst mistakes.

    To add to that, hope is the opposite of fear. Every “I hope” statement can be rephrased as an “I’m afraid” statement.

    I’m afraid she doesn’t like me back.

    I’m afraid I’ll oversleep.

    I’m afraid this comment will be lost on the readers.

    It’s important to maintain the “I hope” mindset.

    Also, forget about the massive amount of puts that were purchased against the only two airlines involved in the hijackings just days before the attack.

    Oh, and forget about the fact that the building owner profited $300 million by purchasing an exorbitant insurance package after buying the building only nine months before.

    Also, definitely forget that Building 7 and the section of the Pentagon that was targeted were housing all the personnel and evidence involved in the biggest financial crimes investigation of the century.

    It’s possible and common to be happily married and in a healthy relationship with someone you love deeply and who also gets on your nerves sometimes for very specific, but also very human behavior.

    Loving someone means loving all of that person, flaws included. We accept the little annoyances because overall, that person adds more to your life than they take away. Acknowledging this fact of human relationships is one way to embrace those flaws, and thus, that person.
