So many times I've seen stuff like that.  Or it's towards the end of the day and you'll see them walk around a building and hop into their lexus.

I've never seen the Lexus scenario. That would infuriate me.

I have.  I've also seen people who have posted similar videos online showing it.

well yeah when you think about it very hard you realize that in places like new York city during the holidays when people are at their most generous you can easily make over $200 an hour begging. just because there are thousands of people who will pass by you every hour and if you can get a buck out of just a fraction of those people you can make a lot of money. there are people who will take time off of work just to go and beg out there and make more for their time than at their job

Why is that you always want to believe people are honest when they are begging you for gas money, you fall for it, and then they immediately reveal themselves to be lying, ungrateful junkies?

Gave a dude $5 after I bought into his story then he has the nerve to ask me for the change he saw that I also had. I just gave you more than probably anyone in their right mind should. You'd think bums of all people would have at least some understanding of gratefulness. But no, they seem think you owe them, and basically everything you've got.

I stopped giving money a while ago. Maybe about ten or so years ago, my friend and I were leaving the mall and a woman came up to us and asked for money for the bus. I gave her a few dollars and she gave me the usual "thank you so much" and "God bless you" and such. As we got into the car, we see this woman run around the corner and buy a 40 in a brown paper bag. So much for the bus. Lessons learned.

Oh yes, I was quite heavily blessed according to this man. "Gimme those quarters, you got lots of change!" Then he tries to flag me down around the next corner again. This was in front of the post office, where I often go. So if I see him again, maybe they'll do something if I tell them he's bumming off of all of their customers.

I didn't hear about the Nintendo Direct, but I'm loving that 8-bit Link Amiibo.

They might. When I lived in Atlanta, folks would tell the security officers around MARTA if folks were begging. Their numbers began to dwindle with each passing day.

-Ever Oasis gone over

-Ever Oasis gone over

What does that mean?

I think they just meant that they went over Ever Oasis as an overview. Wasn't what I was expecting, but still kinda cute:

I would like imput by someone who is familiar with stock markets. im debating on making a substantial investment (for me) in a Taiwanese company called Macronix International Co., Ltd. these are the people who supply all the rom chips for Nintendo ds/3ds game cartridges. the reason I want to invest in them is for a few reasons:

1. with the decrease of chip sales (their main business) they are at a very low value (4.14 TWD or 0.13 USD or a market cap of 14.97billion TWD or 473million USD)
2. they have been dropping hints that they will be working with Nintendo on the NX and macronix's newer 75Nm rom chip capable of holdng MUCH MUCH more data than one currently in the 3ds like close to if not more than that of a bluray.
3. the possibility of the NX using cartridge based games (which if you don't know are actually faster than both reading from cd and reading from system memory) which has the possibility of pushing close to if not over 1 Billion chips the console generation. which would make their stock jump quite a lot.
4. from march 2006 to july 2007 there was a almost 400% increase in stock price that can be attributed to the Nintendo ds picking up in game sales (I looked over the sale numbers myself to make sure). and the stock currently is ~20-40% lower today than the low point in march of 2006.

of course the obvious negative that will make a loss very likely...

1. TWD to USD transfer rates can easily screw up these numbers and alter it either way (positively or negatively) and as I have never researched how currency transfer rates work I cant say for certain if its wise to invest in a Taiwanese company.
2. Taxes. I intend on keeping the investment for a minimum of 1 year making my US taxes on all potential income low-ish (15% instead of 30-35% for shorter than a year investment) but I do not know if  will also have to pay Taiwan's taxes on the return either. plus my brokerage fee (although low-ist 2-5% could radically affect any profits)
3. if the NX decides to go either cd only of download only I can easily make nothing.
4... should be more here but im drawing a blank.

So if you have any experience with stocks and think this is a wise/unwise investment I would love to hear from you.

also feel free to invest yourself if this sounds good to you, but do your own research to be informed for yourself before hand

Basically, i fixed what I wrote there. I blame the lack of a 12th cup of coffee at the time for thinking that sounded right.

My first thoughts were that the game was cancelled or something because the others said coming to 3DS, Wii U, releasing Oct, etc... It's gone, it's over! The dream is dead. lol

[desocietas]

haha, no worries redblaze!

I didn't realize Ever Oasis would be so Zelda-y. Could be fun though. I've never been much of a Zelda fan, but puzzles and cute animals are usually my sort of thing on paper.
