Why would we want a future banned user in the Supreme Court?

Im defending nothing, and if you wouldnt have selectively quoted me, that would be obvious

Then what's the purpose of pointing it out? Outside of a courtroom, the distinction doesn't matter.

BDSMKane posted...

That being said, I want to make it clear to everyone that these AIPAC numbers are campaign contributions, and not paid buy offs, because there is a difference and one is illegal. If caught, of course.

I really don't think "they found a way to bribe them legally" is the defence you think it is.

Ban Trum... wait FUCK now he's even got me mixing us up.

That's a tough choice. If you want to ask what one I've spent the most time playing, that's a very easy answer - Commander Keen 4. But a big part of that is because for a while it was the only platformer I had, and even after that, for some time it was still the best of a fairly limited selection. I wouldn't even consider it the best in the Commander Keen series nowdays (it's second to Commander Keen 5), let alone the entire genre.

Thinking about all the ones I've played (regardless of how much; as ones I played more recently I generally only play once even if I really like them), I'm gonna have to go with DKC2. If you don't allow Metroidvanias, I can't think of anything that gives it much of a challenge; if you do, Hollow Knight is a strong contender too and I'd probably pick it over DKC2.

(This is also assuming we're not applying the "Crash Bandicoot is a 2D platformer disguised as a 3D game" argument; if we are, my answer is beyond a doubt Crash Bandicoot 2.)

I know it was published a week ago but I didn't notice anyone else post it. +972 Magazine is the original source for that article, as well as the Guardian article it links to, and Local Call, but I can't read the latter because it's in Hebrew.

+972 has been an outstanding source imo and broke the stories regarding Israel's AI targeting systems 'Habsora' and 'Lavender' with help from 6 Israeli intelligence sources. I've not seen any other publication reveal such in-depth accounts from inside Israel's bombing campaign and it's targeting of civilians and civilian infrastructure.

Poor choice of words on my part. I wasn't meaning to suggest they are an unreliable source; more so that they aren't well known as a reliable one (and thus people might be hesitant to take their word, as opposed to more well-known reputable ones, the emphasis here being on "well-known").

Fuck that. One guy being an asshole doesnt mean the rest of us should have to suffer.

You realize nothing prevents you getting a normal, non-obnoxious car to use for transport, right?

And if you can't afford both, you could always just get the one that's actually practical. If money is an issue you probably would be wise not to drive the gas guzzler anyway.

FF9 out of the poll options, FFX overall.

Chrono Trigger, Grandia and FF6 are also strong contenders.

Sport and muscle cars should just be outlawed. The only people who have them are the people who should not be allowed to have them.

Just limit them to off-road use only. People can take them to a racetrack or whatever if they want, or display them in their garage.

And that list is just the Democrats. Republicans list would be as long if not longer.

Yep. The difference being that for the Republicans it's just expected and everyone knows that the strategy there is get rid of them, not try to change them. Republicans aren't going to drop their pro-Israel members no matter how much pressure is put on them.

For an amount that small, I'll just let it come back. Doesn't make a huge difference to me outside of the occasional meme that might push the line a bit, but that's still one less thing to be paranoid about.

Like... Do companies not realize that these days, this shit gets noticed and put on blast every single time?

"Surveillance and interference: Israels covert war on the ICC exposed" including a decade of surveillance, harassment, death threats, attempted blackmail, etc.

It's been posted before (including with a more reliable source) but always good to keep people reminded.

Fred off.

Most people had been very used to (old) Yevon. Suggesting a link to that was likely going to do them more good than bad. If anything "youth league" is the poorly named one, though they're definitely the better people.

My reaction to this would be moddable. Because it would involve using the C word in a positive sense, like Australians / NZers often do, and that's not allowed on GameFAQs.

I guess I can tame it down a bit and say he's a good dude.

AIPAC deserves to be banned. It's pretty fucked up that we let a foreign nation influence our politics

Yeah. And it definitely raises some questions about the motives for making a big deal about Russia's interference if they're turning a blind eye to Israel's. To be clear I'm not saying that a big deal shouldn't have been made about Russia's interference (rather; a big deal should be made about Israel's too, while also still making a big deal about Russia's), just that making a big deal of one while not just accepting but being part of the other raises some serious questions about whether people actually cared about the interference or only about who it favored.

Prison violence is bad

But if prison violence is going to happen, I'm not sad it happened to a serial killer

This. If it has to happen to someone, better it be someone who really "deserves" (or at least as close to that as the ToU allows me to say) it.

It is kinda weird, right?

I said half with zero hesitation. It's not even a debate.

Half seems a bit much. The gift was the ticket that cost a few dollars, not the million you won. I'd still want to do something for them though, hence my answer of 5-10% plus a couple of nice gifts.

TMOG posted...

Yeah nothing helps fight against the narrative that you're a corrupt organization that abuses its power quite like acts of clear retaliation that would cheapen the definition of what a war crime is

Extending the prosecution of terrorists to those who aid or protect the terrorists, or intend and attempt to do so, is not corruption.

Baha05 posted...

But people do hence why we have them or some form like customs

Most borders are not physically obstructed over their entire length, and I can guarantee border control is NOT looking out for animals crossing the border - nor would it be particularly productive for them to do so. Not to mention that some animals can fly.

Biosecurity at customs only really achieves much against the smuggling of species that are not remotely from the local area, or in the case of isolated island countries like New Zealand. Customs and the border ain't going to do shit to stop animal species crossing land borders between countries - both in the sense that "they're not going to try" and that "they would fail hard if they did try".

Interesting. Great song. Have you listened to the original version?

I tried to, and I made it maybe 40 seconds in before I had to turn it off.

The ICC should respond by issuing warrants for every politician who failed to vote against this. Yes, including those who abstained.

I have yet to hear a single song from them that I actually like. The spoken rendition of For The Benefit Of Mr Kite (I think that was the name?) from that Across The Universe movie is as close as anything related to them comes to "likeable" for me, and it's still a bit far off.

Also, bypassing suspension / purgatory / ban with alts is not allowed either anymore. (Bypassing warnings or loss of CE access is fine.)

From what I've read, she basically said something along the line of that the IDF are committing genocide and are "as bad as ISIS"

No, IDF are not "as bad as ISIS". They are far worse. You'd need to go back to historical organisations if you wanted to find anyone else as bad as the IDF.

s a gift statistically expecting it to be nothing, so you can spend almost nothing on it, all the while likely having your hand out on the rare unicorn chance its a jackpot ticket. Said gift just blew up in the gift givers face. So no, just because their plan blew up in their face, doesn't mean you owe them a share

This is why I won't ever give *just* lottery / scratchie tickets as a gift. I might chuck one or two in with a proper gift.

In New York, a $1Million lotto prize gets you about $670,000.00

First thing I would do is pay off my mortgage in full and what little CC debt I have. I currently owe around $109K between all cards and mortgage.

So now I'm at $561K.

Then it depends on how close of a friend it is. My very best friend, I probably give him half. All my other friends I kinda have on the same level. I'd probably give them $50K.

Ah. Gotta love Murica. Over here, winning a million means you get a million. No tax, no cut if you don't take a payment plan, just straight money in the bank.

The one that starts with It starts with..

That's In The End.

This written as a sarcastic / satirical article (at least some parts, anyway, not so much the racist part) would actually somewhat have a point, but I doubt that's what he was going for.

Nah. If he drops out, we can't rub it in when he loses.

Scotty_Rogers posted...

It's In the End lol. Y'all really just saw one image and decided "yup, that's it"

I don't really care about this topic enough to do an in-depth fact check on it.

I would've guessed In The End. Not too bad a guess since it's 2nd.

It's 2024. Ask for something more modern, unless your date is like 80.

Probably like 5-10% on the spot and buy them a few nice things.

Hm, a second account in the same topic at the same time, with the same writing style, also shilling for Russia and trying to discredit the well known link between the pro-Russia and pro-Israel crowds.

You could at least try to hide your alts, dude.

Nintendo Switch >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> PS5 > Xbox.

The lowest of whom has now practically conceded and the lowest two of whom can't compete with the Switch's cost or library of games.

This generation of big consoles just hasn't had enough games to make the systems worth it.

Sony definitely wins against Nintendo on library, at least in terms of quality and variety. Nintendo's hardware is better in terms of features (not in terms of specs) tho. Both lose to PC tho, now that handheld PCs are commonplace.

no, it's absurd. completely disregards student autonomy, limits their access to info, could absolutely be a danger if there's an emergency and kids can't access their phones to call 911/their parents/whatever else, keeps them from properly documenting any abusive behavior from staff-- horrible policy

That last one is a feature, not a bug, of such bans.

Which country makes the ones that do more than just replicate an obsolete timekeeping device? (Edit: Well, that and "I'm rich" bragging rights.)

I used to get a nag once every few weeks to link my phone to my PC. But that's stopped now. Aside from that, nothing.

You're not missing much. It's one of the worst plant milks out there.

Soy is best IMO. Cashew and oat are not far behind. Rice milk is great in sweet drinks / baking but I wouldn't recommend it for anything savory. Real milk IMO is not as good as soy but better than any of the other fakes.

Snakes on a Plane.

I'd say about 50/50.

Everything that did not exist or was not commonly used during the period of time I attended school is unnecessary and should be banned. Nothing is allowed to change. /s

Have you actually tried them out or just looked up whether they've got compatible status? From what I hear a lot of games that don't *officially* work on it, do work.

Otherwise there's always the option of a Windows handheld. ROG Ally X looks promising with its chungus-ass battery and 24GB RAM (meaning it can dedicate a bit more to graphics, compared to 16GB handhelds).
