You can argue that spankings shouldnt be conducted at all. Thats fine. The only thing I want to address is, it needs to said that beatings should not be confused with spanking. Not everyone who was spanked was beaten as a child.

Because a beating suggests something way more drastic.

I don't really understand what the difference would be except thinking "I'm more sophisticated/controlled in how I hit the child"

Wanting kids to get beat because they're annoying or whatever now that you're an adult is kinda like class traitorism.

What about when a movie's ending isn't necessarily happy but it was pretty clear it wasn't the kind of movie to have a happy ending?

[Verse 1]
I really don't know where this story began
My friend Houston had got himself a girl
Swank is her name, she's got the best of him
And he's got the best of her in the palm of their hands

[Chorus]
And they could care less what's coming up
Sometimes the future doesn't have much luck
This wigged-out thing called love
It may get kinda rough
And they don't really mind
They're on their own

[Verse 2]
They said this has been motionless orbit flight
Around each other intoxicating their minds
Dancing in the street under suburban lights
They stumbled to the concrete without a hurt

[Chorus]
And they could care less what's coming up
Sometimes the future doesn't have much luck
This wigged-out thing called love
It may get kinda rough
And they don't really mind
They're on their own

[Bridge]
Love losing control
So you better hold on

[Chorus]
As they walk together in time
Leaving all us drunks behind
This wigged-out thing called love
It may get kinda rough
But they don't really mind
They're on their own, own

On the bright side his teleport move has a command grab now so it's like a mini meterless demon

He also gets double air fireball when he does the taunt

You can only do approaching air fireball in SF6 by the way. Or you can spend meter to do a neutral jump air fireball. But no retreating one

Oh I know him, so its continuing him surpassing that level now?

Basically, his hair turns white when he's "shin" Akuma in some games, and his posture/garb more resembles Oni now, such as losing his sandals.

Apparently also a reference to SFIII giving him a small bit of greying hair, which you can see in costume 2.

Dude is straight up old at this point

SpiritSephiroth posted...

Also doesn't Satsui No Hadou make your hair red? Why is it white now?

Look up Oni Street Fighter IV.

I spent like two weeks learning Ryu to get comfortable with a shoto. Akuma is fun with the air fireball and teleport command grab etc, but my last matches of the night I went back to Guile and immediately felt at home again like I'd finally returned from a long voyage

I been busy this week

That would get so damn boring

So what is making people think there's a recession if there's not? There could be a disconnect between actual definition of recession and how Americans judge whether we're colloquially "in recession"

No graduation

Street Fighter 6

Everyone on the street is so strong and ready to beat you up I think I'd genuinely get killed. It wouldn't even help if you tracked down Luke and begged him to train you or something because he'd throw one friendly Sand Blast and bust your skull open by accident.

That scared the shit out of me

Anyway Spoilers for about 1 hour after the game past the first few important events.

Do I need to have Susie in my party for this, because I dont.

Somewhere in the first 10 minutes, he explains why he doesn't believe there's a genocide happening.

https://transcripts.cnn.com/show/ampr/date/2024-05-20/segment/01

AMANPOUR: I'm going to get into starvation as a weapon of war in a moment, but first, I want to ask you, the word genocide has been used by both sides, and many believe that genocide is being committed, but you do not, you're not using that word.

KHAN: Well, this is an active investigation, and we have criminal charges that we can use, genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. In relation to this current stage of investigations, the charges that we have put forward to the judges do not include genocide. But we are continuing to investigate.

It's a very complex situation. We've not been allowed access into Gaza by the Israeli authorities. We're also continuing our investigations in relation to the Hamas attacks and if and when the evidence points us in a particular direction, we will not hesitate to act. So, it's still an active investigation, but yes, today we haven't.

AMANPOUR: What is extermination?

KHAN: It's mass killing.

AMANPOUR: Different than genocide?

KHAN: Yes. Genocide is defined by a specific intent. Not only killing, but an intention to destroy the group in whole or in part. So, it's a specific intent to destroy the group in whole or in part. So, we're not -- we have not included in our application today a request for warrants for the crime of genocide.

This is exactly what I described. They have not at this time brought the charge of genocide but specify that they have been prevented from collecting evidence by Israel, and that it remains an active investigation.

Shadow_Don posted...

I mean they cited the oct 7 attack for the warrant they put out on hamas leaders. I read through it pretty quickly so maybe I misunderstood.

They're charging Haniyeh and Netanyahu with (among other things) Extermination, which is similar to the charge of genocide but does not seek to prove intent to destroy a national/ethnic/religous identity.

ClayGuida posted...

According to the ICC, who's charged Netanyahu, his defense minister, and 3 leaders of Hamas, it's not genocide.

Where in the ICC statement did it say it's not genocide? There's a difference between not charging with genocide at this time versus declaring the office affirmatively believes genocide is NOT occurring.

If you're resorting to "the ICC did not think it had a case at this time to meet the strict legal standard of genocide its body recognizes" as the defense for Israel, I mean, that's a pretty terrible defense on its face. When it did say

Notwithstanding any military goals they may have, the means Israel chose to achieve them in Gaza namely, intentionally causing death, starvation, great suffering, and serious injury to body or health of the civilian population are criminal.

Polls which are increasingly inaccurate in the past decade (moreso when Republicans use aggregate polls to obfuscate the results) can only be as accurate as the people being polled are paying attention.

Which at this point is around three percent of the voting population.

I think if we're going into "only lonely boomers could've possibly answered this Data for Progress poll" territory, that kinda just makes the numbers more striking in this particular instance.

Humble_Novice posted...

No, it's more like polls have become less reliable ever since they got so much wrong starting in the 2016 elections and beyond.

A valid reason to dismiss presidential polls doesn't contradict anything in my post. That said, a big issue with presidential polls is that they report a difference of 1-3% that's within the poll's large margin of error. That Data for Progress poll is 56-for to 22-against on the question among Democrats. Hard to make a case that that's noise.

runewalshPSiv posted...

We back to believing polls again?

While it's hard to speak for everyone, my observation on CE is that the people more vocally supportive of Biden are more likely to dismiss the polls showing Trump leading, not the other way around.

Trump does have to earn my vote

He's done a horrible job of it

In this case the opposite of memelord is short-sightedness.

Thinking there's not enough protestors to make politicians feel pressured is not a very good assessment of protest potential though. Imagine if the first Columbia protestors looked around and didn't see protests at any other college so they thought, "Well, there's no point to this, we have no support!"

Shadow_Don posted...

Ok and? Is your point Israel bad therefore hamas good? None of that supports the claim that hamas is negotiating in good faith.

I responded to your claim that Hamas is the primary barrier to a ceasefire rather than Israel.

You were the one who asserted that Hamas negotiates in bad faith. Now you're trying to flip that around and say I'm claiming that Hamas is a good faith negotiator and that's why I think it's less of a barrier than Israel, but I never said anything like that. I said Israel is the main obstacle to a ceasefire, and they are, because they're on record as going forward with invading Rafah, an enormous refugee center, regardless of any deal.

ellis123 posted...

So what exactly can I, as a completely average person, do? Go do a walk/protest like the ones at the collage campuses? Say that I'm not going to vote for Biden?

This is hinting at what underpins Kimberly's complaint though: the idea that Biden's policy toward Gaza is an arbitrary fact unchanging through time, that protests don't work and have never worked, that people speaking out or attempting to find any sort of lever or power is inherently doomed to fail. Like yeah, as a matter of fact, you CAN go to protests, you can donate to relief foundations or activist organizations. You should if you think this is an important issue.

Yes, you should strategically vote for Biden, but insisting on having only that conversation before primary season is even over (ostensibly the time to push for policy changes for the incumbent president) sucks.

Shadow_Don posted...

They have.

Advising you to come back to reality now.

Uhhh he has to negotiate with hamas too.

Only strongarming Israel isn't how this conflict ends.

Hamas hasn't been the barrier to a ceasefire and hostage exchange for a long while.

emblem-man posted...

Probably good to remember that the countries leader actively doing the bombing, Netanyahu, does not like Biden, but they like Trump and other Republicans. Their minister of defense sent a tweet saying "Hamas <3 Biden"

Unfortunately these actions only seem to make Biden want to try harder to please them

Totally the actions of a country not doing genocide

It sucks that Joe Biden is evil and he's still not the worst candidate on the ballot.

I mean have you read the reviews or are you reaction posting?

My thoughts on any of the individual reviews are irrelevant. The issue with your post is that it looked at two other reviews with different scores that another poster curated on the basis of their scores being different, and said "well clearly this reviewer isn't qualified because their score is different from those".

--Zero- posted...

Kinda goes to show that Gamespot isn't qualified to review games lol

Why do gamers still think this way, where the purpose of reviews is to validate the consumer's hopes/expectations for the product

This feels like Miquella propaganda

how do you guys not have STERO blocked yet

Just had to throw the dig at Biden in there didnt you?

What? The topic title is almost word for word the title of the CNN page. Am I missing something?

How exactly is Smash 4 invalidated but Brawl is not? Smash 4 had its own meta and yes it played differently than Ultimate.

A big issue with Smash 4's legacy is people fucking HATED Bayonetta and were very ready to wash their hands of the final balance patch version.

it was a nwod so lmfao

Okay, now imagine TC does it again? Is it moddable or not, that's the question

Don't say I didn't warn ya *puts on sunglasses*

ConfusedTorchic posted...

lmao

outrage over literally nothing

The question is whether it is moddable not the severity of the individual moderation.

They're also changing a bunch of images from nicher works to more mainstream works which is annoying since I used those images to get introduced to new works before too.

I noticed this the last time I visited the site (a while ago by now) and it was really disappointing. That kind of site is ideally powered by niche weirdos and nothing good will come from trying to normie-ize it

Has Dtoast posted since confirming he let that antivaxx guy in?

I think it used to be better.

Tweet is basically asking for Billboard to shut down because the shape of music sales changed

Consistent with what he does about the genocide in Gaza.
