Apparently not. Link is a source from Wikipedia, where Wiki says “… However, this is not the intended purpose as stated by the company Safety 1st, which marketed the product at the time of its peak popularity.”

Considering the only way to amass that much wealth is by hoarding it away from those “bums”, I’d argue that they do have an obligation to support the population.

Why is it every time I hear this shitstain-tan asshole go on about taking my country, all I can think of is the British of 1812 burning down the White House and a passing thought of “hang on now…”

I was the “gifted” kid. Constantly told I was so smart for my age, or how quickly I’d pick up what I’m being shown. Always showered with a praise I didn’t feel like I earned, and never feeling a need to improve or a want to learn better. Cause I was constantly told how I was “so smart”.

Then grade 10 came up, and I failed two classes. One of them was math, a course I previously excelled in. The other was history, something I knew I was awful at. Those praises turned into questions of “you’re able to do this, why didn’t you?” And “You’re smarter than this, aren’t you?” I missed out on an intro to engineering cause I had to take 1 on 1 catch up classes the following semester to make up for it.

I eventually did pass my math course, and never did do much better than a grade 10 level. History, I passed by 2%. You need 30 out of 36 possible credits to graduate, I made it with 30 and a half credits. My last class was an intro to anthropology, and I only passed with a 56%.

“Gifted kid” is a bullshit title given to you by people who don’t understand that just because you can learn something at a young age, doesn’t mean you are gifted in the art of learning.

My sister had a friend growing up that had their birthday in late December, and she recalls how much she hated having joint birthday/Christmas presents. She could see other kids get gifts for their birthdays and Christmas, why couldn’t she?

Now that my sister has a kid of her own, she’s determined to make sure the holidays and his birthday are completely separate, and I am completely behind her in that decision.

“Are you crazy? We’re gonna die down here while those fuckers live it large on a spaceship! They’re not us! They’re not us!!”

“I’m sorry you feel that way, Simon. I’m proud of what we did. We made sure that something of the hundreds of thousands of years of human history survived – that something lives on.”

The silence that followed after their subsequent cussing each other out and losing power was quite heavy, especially given everything else that happened to them; and SOMA really is one of the only games whose narrative really made me question what it means to be human.

“Catherine? Please don’t leave me alone. Catherine – Catherine?!”
