okay you clearly have some personal investment in this, so im going to stop responding. Youre reading my posts with clear negative intent where there is none. I also really dont appreciate the way youre putting words in my mouth lmao but again this is clearly personal to you

I dont think people should spend any amount of money they dont want to. Do what you want with your money, its yours.

You say you aren't trying to be negative in your first paragraph, and yet your follow paragraph makes assumptions based in negativity because someone chose to pay for the cheapest option.

Who says a person who chooses to buy the cheapest option doesn't enjoy what they eat? I'm choosing that option for a reason, and hint, it's not because I don't enjoy it.

The issue here is you're automatically associating since it's cheap, there must be some negative reason why they chose it. No, plenty of people enjoy the cheaper options just fine, regardless if they could afford the most expensive things on the menu.

Dude. You said you only get the absolute cheapest thing on the menu. If you ONLY go by price then what if you dont like that dish? Im just saying thats a strange way to go about getting food. Itd be just as weird if someone ONLY ordered the most expensive thing just because its the most expensive.

Eating cheaply is not the same as getting the cheapest option every single time just because its cheap. Good food can be quite cheap. Im not judging less expensive dishes

This goes back to my last post alluding to bashing for not wanting to spend an extra $20 on their own food because you don't mind spending extra on your own food.

What they decide to spend on their own meal shouldn't affect you or the enjoyment you guys have together.

You seem to have this idea that one has to spend as much as you do, on their own meal, to enjoy their time. In reality, they don't, and thankfully not everyone is nickel and diming friends and family for not spending more on their own meal.

thats not even close to what im saying at all dude what?? You can spend however much on food that you want and it does not affect me whatsoever. Im not saying you MUST spend money on food, your way of doing it just seems odd

If you always get the cheapest thing no matter what then you might not even enjoy what you eat. If the cheapest thing is something you dislike would you still order it? I dont care if people spend less on food but id hope theyre eating food they like.

Ive also literally chipped in when a friend has wanted food that was more than what they felt comfortable spending, so miss me with saying im nickle and diming my friends and family. I just want everyone to be able to have a good time when we go out and not have to worry about getting the literal cheapest thing on the menu every time

I get the cheapest thing on the menu because that's how I want to spend my money. Regardless that I have the money waste.

For me, and many people like me, there is a vast difference in an extra $20.

So when I say bashing (maybe not the best word), that statement was alluding to why question someone who doesn't want to spend an extra $20 on something they don't feel they need to?

I mean okay I guess. You can spend your money however you want, but others can still think its kind of strange. I eat out to get food I dont usually have, and expect to pay more because of it. If i just got the cheapest thing every time because its cheap id probably just cook at home or something.

Eating out at a restaurant is not cheap. If $20 is a vast difference then like I said, id just cook at home. Nobody is saying you cant buy the cheapest thing, but when you can afford to get things you like that may be more expensive i do think it can be questionable

LightningThief posted...

I literally always get the cheapest thing on the menu. My birthday and maybe one other occasion is the only rare exception where I splurge on something in the $30 price range which typically is the cheapest crab or lobster on the menu. For drinks, more times than not I go for no alcohol (typically water), or if I do get alcohol, something cheap that still keeps my bill under $30. I'm not big on drinking anyway.

I'm not bashing people who do spend that much, but at the same time the reverse needs to hold too. I don't have to spend a lot of money to enjoy myself with friends and family.

Im not bashing anyone. If you get literally the cheapest option every single time thats fine, but its not like spending 20 dollars more is a vast difference for most people. Why do you always get the cheapest thing?

When i go out which isnt as often these days, I want to have a good time and not worry about penny pinching, and I can afford to do that. If its a money thing i understand, but if im gonna eat out im not getting the cheapest thing just because its cheap.

Have some of yall never gone out to nice-ish place with your friends or family? A nice meal and drinks will get you over $50 pretty easily, and thats not an absurd amount to spend every once in a while.

Nacho isnt even really a villain

Great character, but hes kind of like the jesse of BCS. Hes fucked up a lot, but he doesnt enjoy doing the things he does like a Gus or Lalo

Yeah but you're a doomer right? You always think k everything goes Trumps way until it doesn't. You're vibes based takes don't really seem informative or useful.

Were discussing the result of an election that wont happen until November. Everything is a vibe based take unless youre using polls, which in that case youd think Trump would likely win based on that data.

I really fucking hope Trump loses, but people arent doomers for pointing out that him winning is a legitimate possibility.

Honestly, I see tons of people praise Kiwami 2 over Kiwami 1, but the story really didn't do it for me, compared to the others and I didn't like the combat as much. So for me it was 0 > K1 > K2

I can understand liking the story less, but i really think Kiwami 1s combat doesnt get enough hate.

Going from 0 to Kiwami 1 feels so jarring even though they just copy pasted the 0 fighting styles. Every style just feels worse and less fluid to use, and beast got nerfed into the ground. Also lterally every heavy attack puts you on the floor which is probably my biggest criticism of the combat.

The Shimano 1st fight in Kiwami 1 is also easily one of the worst fights in the series

I enjoyed Kiwami 2 way more than 1, but less than 0. Its a great game and I love the dragon engine, so i think youll have a good time

Garioshi posted...

Kiwami 2 is easily the worst of the Yakuza games I've played (0, 3, and both Kiwamis). The combat is the shallowest in the series (that I've played), and the game actively looks worse than its predecessors and takes WAY more resources so that some lights can look slightly better. I have never played a more unstable game on PC, either. K2 crashed on me at least 200 times, and at least half of those were just from opening the game. It's not like the story is any good, either.

Kiwami 2 absolutely does not look worse than its predecessors lmao where did that come from. Kiwami is a solid entry in the series, definitely not the worst.

Kiwami 1 is my least favorite game in the series other than original 1 and 2. Its got worse combat than 3 and many of its systems are just haphazardly ripped from 0 and pasted onto the framework of 1.

Yeah i also think BCS is better. I think it might be an unpopular opinion but I also LOVE the low stakes of the early seasons. People say its boring but i was never once bored

TetsuoS2 posted...

Some of the future fights become more technical and less gimmicky so calling the anime the best parts is plain wrong imo.

I mostly agree, but to be fair Wally and the title defense saga is the series at the peak of gimmick fights lmao.

Definitely a ton of awesome fights still of course. I think the character moments and interactions are also kind of underrated in the series. As much as I like the fights, the aftermath of the fights and how the characters react is probably my favorite part of the series

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

A big reason many here have never heard of it is because of the lack of legal channels to access it in america. Im glad its finally gaining some accessibility.

It also sucks the manga isnt and probably never will be officially released in english. I have such high respect for the fan translators that continue to allow people to read it

Jiek_Fafn posted...

Does it have the old awful dub? Takamura's dumb voice in that always made me laugh

The preview it shows when you hover over it is the dub, so it seems like its there

dameon_reaper posted...

which one is it? Because mine is the fight with one of the secondary characters who never really shines too much but the fight was so good.

I do agree that a lot of the anime, OVAs, and the second part cover the best part but honestly I want to see some more of Ippo's defending fightsI think I stopped reading the manga around the time what's his name showed up. I think it was either the fisherman or that jungle boy.

Mashiba vs Kimura is the the fight i really like in the OVA.

And if you stopped reading the manga at that point, id totally recommend continuing if youre still interested. In my opinion thats probably the weakest part of the manga, but theres a ton of good fights and character moments to be had

Its especially funny that they portray the reasoning for this as a noise issue

Like they need to interrogate and background people to make sure theyre not gonna be loud at night. Definitely the reason theyre doing this. The noise complaints. Surely.

so if you dont have a car and need to travel somewhere at night youre just fucked?

Also wait who exactly are they suing? Are they going after the state or the school?

The United States of America; Miguel Cardona, in his official capacity as Secretary of Education; United States Department of Education; Catherine Lhamon, in her official capacity as Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights, Department of Education; Randolph Wills, in his official capacity as Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement, Department of Education,

This is what was listed as the defendants

Because Texas

its also UT austin though. I wouldnt be surprised if theres a good amount of uproar from the students there knowing their professors arent getting fired for doing shit like this.

Cartoon_Quoter posted...

They can't, that would be biased...

obvious sarcasm should be obvious

Its just absurd to me that these dudes still have a job lmao. A professor wanting to fail students for things entirely unrelated to their classroom, and then suing to make it happen shouldve been sent packing the second it was filed.

How can a university be okay with professors doing this

Do these courses have a missing any class is an F clause or something? The reasoning theyre attempting to use to fail these students doesnt even make any sense. Professors arent allowed to just fail someone because they dont like something they did outside of class.

Theyre trying to claim theyre missing class for an abortion and thus should fail? No decent college would ever allow a professor to fail a student for that.

UT should fire these assholes for both making these awful abortion views public as well as attempting to disrupt students education due to personal bias.

you think the topic should be closed because someone said something stupid and others responded?

People are still actively sharing their music opinions. Thats kind of dumb to say.

A few weeks ago ssb_yunglink2 made a topic about someone making a diss track to Drake. I and a few others thought that it was pretty immature to get worked up about dissing, but ssb seemed to take it pretty seriously.

Indeed. Looks like I posted in the right topic.

You claim I care too much about rap beef but youre here weeks later bringing up my posts for no reason and again inserting your shitty opinions about rap. Im also pretty sure I never made a topic about it, just posted in relevant topics.

You seem like you care a lot more than i do considering you make posts like this anytime rap is mentioned

Seeing a literal officer of the law say California is too soft on crime and then immediately endorsing a convicted felon makes my brain hurt

Just shows they dont actually care about the law, they just like exerting power over others.

what the hell

ive never seen this and id absolutely never do it. Should prolly keep your limbs inside the vehicle if youd like to keep them.

I dont know what makes you think any of the plots in yakuza were serious or even good. One game involved ridiculous spy shit and everything

The side stuff is what makes the games

Okay saying that the plots of yakuza were never good or serious is a little much lmao

Its incredibly over the top but the main plot will still take itself seriously. Its like a soap opera, but that doesnt mean its bad.

I love the side stuff but i like the main plots in every game too.

Aressar posted...

No surprise coming from someone who apparently cares about 'dissing' so much.

okay so youre going to dig your heels in and continue embarrassing yourself lmao

Aressar posted...

Gangstah rap effectively ruined the entire genre by with it's infantile slang and moves.
Most rap lyrics can basically be encapsulated as:

I'm from the ghetto yo
I like money n' bitches yo
Don't you be dissin' me yo
Or I'ma shoot yo ass yo
Cuz I am gangstah yo
THIS IS DA REEEEEMIIIIIIX

And the saddest thing is that these 'rappers' truly don't realize how much they're embarrassing themselves.

Id be way more embarrassed if i typed that out and posted it lmao

Are you including urls or images in your posts? Sometimes it'll interpret those as parts of words it wants to censor.

Nah its only happened when im quoting someone and I havent been including images or urls

I cannot see that actor as Kiryu lmao

youre so right

Gamefaqs wins again

Ive had multiple posts unable to be posted because it says im trying to obfuscate the censor and that I should just type the censored word im not even trying to type

This last time it apparently thought I wanted to say shit and the only S words I had were sheer and signs

I really like the game as well. My biggest gripe is honestly the stretches between combat sections though.

Kuuko posted...

I mean, according to e-trade, he objectively bought gamestop at low prices, then pumped the price of the stock up a week later with his return to Twitter. I don't know why you guys are being so defensive about it. He's up tens of millions now on paper, as seen by his screenshot this morning. Which itself caused another run-up.

The price already lost cratered half of its early morning pump by end of day today so for all we know he did lock in millions of gains. If he doesn't lock in any gains now and holds it as it falls back to below his pre-twitter pump then it's only slightly shady making paper millions instead of unscrupulously shady locking in solid millions. Either way that's the explanation on why e-trade is freaked out.

Because you cant call it a pump and dump when theres no dump. Dislike what he did with the tweets if you want, its just not a pump and dump.

I have absolutely no skin in this but he never directly encouraged people to buy, and he didnt immediately dump it all when it rose.

I would say that it's a shame that they never finished the series... but meanwhile the manga is still ongoing and has been absolutely crawling at a snail's pace for years, so the peak of the series was already covered by the anime.

I heavily disagree. The manga stalled horribly in the big arc after where the last anime season left off, but in recent years its made some really bold choices and I like what im seeing.

Theres some absolutely incredible fights and moments in the manga as well.

It was just added recently believe. Incredible series though. After you finish the first 76 episodes I really recommend you find the OVAs they made before continuing to the next seasons.

One of the OVAs is one of my favorite parts of the series.

I mean yeah if someone on the street approached you from behind and pushed you to the ground thats definitely assault.

Obviously this doesnt apply to sports so its a stupid tweet, but it was a really shitty play either way

Kuuko posted...

I mean, it's looking like he's profited millions running a pump and dump scheme that takes advantage of retail gamestop investors.

Looking at the articles, it sounds like e-trade knows he bought a bunch of gamestop options just before he went on the twitter craze last month - which was responsible for pumping the stock up over 200%. Because apes have formed a messianic cult around this man over the 3 years since he stopped posting, and his return stirred a frenzy of buying amongst them. His screenshots this morning show how much money he made off of it. The weird part is they (and it sounds like you OP) are praising him for doing this - rather than considering that the money he just made was off of retail investors who just pumped up his pre-existing position.

It is the literal definition of market manipulation and I guess that's why e-trade isn't happy - except he has some plausible deniability in that he was just tweeting random memes about a stock and surely couldn't have predicted the effect it would cause, and regulations probably aren't equipped to handle the situation that a full-blown religion has formed around a company's stock price.

What has he dumped? This isnt a pump and dump if hes still holding onto it.
