Xbox WireUpdates to Xbox Game Pass: Introducing Essential, Premium...Introducing the new upgrades to Xbox Game Pass, including Essential, Premium and Ultimate. Details inside.

Is there a way to enable a tag cloud to use with the clubs?

Utopia is a flawed idea though - you can't achieve it. Someone is always going to have and someone will not. This will create division and jealousy. The only way around it would be to brainwash the citizens into believing that everything is perfect. There is also going to be a natural division due to differences in physical appearance, emotional ideologies and religion. As much as we would love a utopia, I think a more practical approach would work more efficiently. Necessary for the health of citizens: utilities (power, clean running water) infrastructure (services that provide, maintain and upkeep said utilities) I think everything outside of those two could be categorized into wants and not needs. As to how to balance it, I think it would depend on determining how much of the budget is needed to maintain, upgrade or improve the first two and then have it begin to bleed into social programs for the sick and elderly, then public transit, etc.

S1-5 is the Winchester Gospel - the main core story of the Winchesters, their role on earth and the apocalypse. S6-8 is the Purgatory Era - starting the whole thing with Castiel and Crowley with the souls from Purgatory, the Leviathans and Dean and Cas being in Purgatory ending with the trials, the angels falling and Castiel being human. S9-11 is the Heaven and Hell (or Angels and Demons) Era - starting with Sam being possessed by Gadreel, the Mark of Cain and Dean becoming a demon ending with the release of the Darkness and Cas letting Lucifer posses him to defeat Amara. S12-14 is the Alternative Universes Era - starting with Mary being back and introducing the BMOL, Cas dying, dealing with Jack, the AU and all types of ensemble cast type of characters (most ending up dead), ending with Chuck showing up to fuck things up. S15 is The End - it gives a new view to the whole story, where it all ties together and (hopefully) will have a satisfying ending.

Do you want clubs for the consoles and games, or the games or uncertain at this point?

I think for me it was probably Dragon Ball or Dragon Ball Z. Though, I do remember watching a lot of shows that I didn't realize were anime until I was much, much older. I couldn't pinpoint exactly which was my first anime. I remember one of the first ones I actually watched from start to finish consecutively was Code Geass and Gundam SEED.

Working my way through Black Clover right now.

Is there a true method or best practice to the balancing of a federal budget? How do you weigh the needs and wants of your people, determining what is necessary for their well-being vs luxuries?

The official thread for all things cute and fluffy.

I felt like this would be an awesome weekend thread in which we could share what we have exciting/boring/etc planned for that particular weekend and can update it throughout the weekend as we go.
