| AverageBoss 06/15/17 2:51:27 AM #38 | Dwight Eisenhower. Oh you meant current? I have nothing. |
| Topic | NK vs CN: Avatar: The Last Airbender vs Dexter's Laboratory |
| AverageBoss 06/14/17 10:25:50 PM #3 | I grew up on Dexter, and I remember tons of fun episodes. That being said, Avatar is the far superior show, and imo beats everything remaining on both lists. |
| Topic | Rate DBZA Movie 2 - The World's Strongest |
| AverageBoss 06/14/17 2:52:07 AM #7 | Huge improvement over Dead Zone. However its worth noting that this is actually the 2nd to last movie they did (they did Dead Zone, Lord Slug, both Cooler movies, and Android 13 before this one), as it was part of a subscriber celebration. |
| Topic | Is Dragon Ball Super good? |
| AverageBoss 06/12/17 4:38:07 PM #5 | I have not watched it, but from what I have heard it depends on the arc. The first two arcs are apparently pretty lackluster. The 3rd arc is apparently solid. The 4th arc is supposed to be fantastic, with a really stupid ending to wrap it up. The 5th arc is ongoing, but positively received thus far. |
| Topic | New DBZ fighter will likely be the greatest Fighting game ever |
| AverageBoss 06/12/17 11:34:14 AM #20 | Budokai is by far the better fighting game. But Tenkaichi (at least the 3rd one) is a great sandbox, and can look more like an actual DBZ fight. So I would not say its terrible, just different. But Blazblue is a better fighter than both of them, and this is that team so it will probably be better than any previous DBZ fighter (unless you want the sandbox experience). Of course I am personally more of a Dissidia guy, but that just shows we all have our own preferences. |
| Topic | Are you a scientist? |
| AverageBoss 06/12/17 2:08:04 AM #7 | Wish I had the money to be one. |
| Topic | Rate DBZA Movie 1 - Dead Zone |
| AverageBoss 06/12/17 2:06:52 AM #9 | Ya, their movies continued to be a bit rough even after hitting their stride with the series (Dead Zone, Lord Slug, and 1st Cooler). I think they start to massively improve with the 2nd Cooler movie of all things. And then Android 13, Worlds Strongest, and Brolly are amazing. |
| Topic | NK vs CN: Avatar: The Last Airbender vs Samurai Jack |
| AverageBoss 06/12/17 1:54:52 AM #18 | J_Dawg983 posted... streamofthesky posted...Ok, seriously, why the fuck is Avatar so popular here? You would think that, especially going by just the first few episodes. It seeming childish was one of the reasons I avoided watching it for years. Watched it for the first time a little over a year ago, and honestly it is a great show with alot of depth and character. Honestly most shows (animated and live action) would benefit from tacking some notes. And its not just popular here, it has a 9.2 on imbd. All three seasons have 5 star ratings on Amazon. |
| Topic | I've never understood why liberals see morality as an anathema |
| AverageBoss 06/11/17 11:54:49 AM #18 | Morality is subjective. |
| Topic | Original Batman and beloved mayor of Quahog, RI dead at 88 |
| AverageBoss 06/10/17 9:09:02 PM #21 | I just watched The Grey Ghost episode of Batman:TAS last week. That was such a great tribute to West. And now its more sad. |
| Topic | NK vs CN: Avatar: The Last Airbender vs Teen Titans |
| AverageBoss 06/10/17 9:05:21 PM #23 | If AT was not 90% filler, I would rate it much higher. Its worse than most mainstream shonen. |
| Topic | NK vs CN: Avatar: The Last Airbender vs Teen Titans |
| AverageBoss 06/09/17 10:16:02 PM #3 | Except for 1-2 episodes, the entirety of Avatar was solid (and they even made fun of those 1-2 episodes in the brilliantly done recap episode). Great animation, great characters, great story, great action, and great comedy moments. And the world and setting were expertly crafted and fleshed out. Teen Titans was a less good version of an existing property. Great animation (usually). But everything else tended to be hit or miss depending on which season you were watching. It had its highs, but it also had deep lows. Also a bit less impressive as again, it was an adaptation of an existing property (the original being better). So ya, giving it to Avatar this round. |
| Topic | NK vs CN: The Legend of Korra vs Teen Titans |
| AverageBoss 06/09/17 12:25:38 PM #10 | Both of these series had big ups and huge downs. Both are outclassed by related shows (B:TAS, and JL/JLU for TT, and ATLAB in the case of LoK. With that in mind, I enjoyed book 3 of Korra more than anything TT had to offer, so it gets my vote. |
| Topic | Rate DBZA Episode 30 Freeza: The Final Cut |
| AverageBoss 06/08/17 1:21:37 PM #9 | Daddy, I don't want to be on Namek anymore... /10. |
| Topic | NK vs CN: Rugrats vs Teen Titans |
| AverageBoss 06/07/17 11:03:23 AM #20 | LifelessBoy posted... Teen Titans Out of these lists, I would say the only show as good, was Justice League. |
| Topic | Young CHRISTIANS let their Child DIE because they believed in FAITH HEALING!!! |
| AverageBoss 06/06/17 11:17:18 AM #11 | Alexandra_Trent posted... As a Christian, I'm appalled at this. |
| Topic | Should I Get Morrowind for the original XBox? |
| AverageBoss 06/05/17 1:39:29 AM #21 | InfestedAdam posted... Zeus posted...Probably because Morrowind gave you more options (including flight!) and a larger map. However, the graphics, gameplay, etc, don't hold up. Yep, later games had better dungeons. But Morrowind had a better overworld and cities. There were neat things like the mages city, where to get anywhere you actually needed to know the levitate spell. So if were were not a decent magic user, no mage city for you. |
| Topic | So has there been any actual "draining of the swamp" in DC? |
| AverageBoss 06/05/17 12:30:08 AM #17 | Instead they are the people who were paying the lobbyists and politicians :) . |
| Topic | This 19 y/o Girl is DEAD after her BF SHOT her and he's NOT being Charged!!! |
| AverageBoss 06/04/17 12:39:09 PM #19 | wwinterj25 posted... Full Throttle posted...he accidentally pulled the trigger Hair triggers, or very light weight triggers can go off very easily. They are also from what I gather very popular among gun owners, as it makes them easier to shoot. Honestly, triggers below 8 pounds should probably be outlawed to avoid accidents like this. I use a 12 pound trigger myself. |
| Topic | Holy shit I just watche One Punch Man for the first time |
| AverageBoss 06/04/17 2:04:03 AM #15 | The English dub is available and pretty solid. |
| Topic | How do I (a) Eat cheaply, (b) Not starve, and (c) Not gain weight? |
| AverageBoss 06/02/17 10:21:56 PM #11 | Also on the rice front white rice is not that good for you. Brown rice has all the nutrients. |
| Topic | USA withdraws from the Paris Climate Agreement, Weather Channel website responds |
| AverageBoss 06/01/17 7:15:49 PM #65 | RCtheWSBC posted... AverageBoss posted...And honestly, the religious part might be more the problem than simple conservatism. Many of the arguments I hear are things such as: "humans can't effect the planet, only God can", or "even if global warming is real, its just part of Gods plan", or "the rapture is going to happen before it becomes and issue, so why care". Which based on passages in the Bible about humanity being charged with being stewards of the Earth, and others saying not to test or temp God, would probably be the equivalent of taking a dump all over the floor, then calling your landlord at midnight to demand he come over and clean it up. |
| Topic | USA withdraws from the Paris Climate Agreement, Weather Channel website responds |
| AverageBoss 06/01/17 7:00:23 PM #56 | As a religious moderate who believes in climate change, surrounded by religious conservatives who do not, this makes me sad. Too bad everything has been so badly tainted on that front, that there are so many skeptics. All the misinformation purposefully printed to mislead. Corrupt politicians hoping on board the climate change movement for a quick buck and/or vote, making it easier for the anti crowd to cast more doubts. And the earlier boiling down of the whole issue to simple "Global Warming". When I tell those around me that deforestation, urbanization, abnormal migratory patterns, over hunting, over fishing, and air, water, and ground pollution are all forms of Climate Change, I get blank stares followed by more talking points. And honestly, the religious part might be more the problem than simple conservatism. Many of the arguments I hear are things such as: "humans can't effect the planet, only God can", or "even if global warming is real, its just part of Gods plan", or "the rapture is going to happen before it becomes and issue, so why care". |
| Topic | Were you actually offended by Trump giving the middle finger? |
| AverageBoss 05/29/17 6:11:00 PM #38 | Junpeiclover posted... OhhhJa posted...I also think its amusing how liberals pretend to hold their country in such high regard when stuff like this happens when they spend so much time telling us how national pride is moronic. Hypocrites gonna hypocrite Our education system is a major factor in that. The entire thing is geared towards just telling you to listen to things and commit them to memory. As such people apply that to the rest or their lives over time, letting the opinions of others become their own. And when they are presented with something that threatens their worldview, they don't know how to rationally respond and resort to reciting more talking points, or name calling. |

| Topic | it's now illegal, in alabama, to remove confederate monuments |
| AverageBoss 05/27/17 11:58:51 PM #50 | SamTheWizard posted... Wouldn't 'not cruel' and 'humane' be synonyms? Depends on who you talk to. Especially since it would be hard to get a consensus on where acceptable ends and cruel begins. |
| Topic | it's now illegal, in alabama, to remove confederate monuments |
| AverageBoss 05/27/17 11:54:40 PM #46 | SamTheWizard posted... But we don't. Criminals are supposed to be humanly imprisonned. Well, supposed to be. For profit prisons do some pretty questionable things though. But that's a different topic. |

I am not try to disprove anything. I am simply stating you can't condemn one side for something, and forgive someone else for the same thing just because they won. The north would have likely let slavery persist for decades if the war had never broken out, or if the south had surrendered early. Lee came very close to being the head general of the Union forces. The only reason he turned down the job was because Virginia joined the Confederacy, and people had much more loyalty to their state than the US as a whole at the time. But the north still wanted him. The nation as a whole was pretty shitty back then. But soldiers on both sides died fighting for their homes and families, whether they individually believed in slavery or not. |

| AverageBoss 05/26/17 3:10:18 PM #38 | RCtheWSBC posted... Two hours wouldn't be too awful of a move, relatively speaking. I'm trying to think if I've ever stopped in St. Cloud...I think I've only driven through it. Ya, lots of retirees here, so nothing really exciting to see. Its pretty much all restaurants, churches, and small shopping centers. Biggest thing here is the local Walmart. |
| Topic | I'm a week into my stay in Tampa. Still don't have a job |
| AverageBoss 05/26/17 3:08:37 PM #36 | DorkLink posted... Oh, then how are you making less than $16k? Is it only part-time? Or did I just read your post wrong? I guess you never actually said that you were, but the way you worded it I interpreted that as your target It is part time, they hang me around the 30-34 hour mark. But its a random schedule each week which makes it difficult to hold another job at the same time, so I just pick up odd jobs and commission painting work here and there. |

AverageBoss posted...The situation around here is just all around poor. 30 and 40 year olds line up at the local pizza hut when they open a drivers position. Saint Cloud Florida. There is alot here, but its all geared around catching tourists on their way to Disney. They advertise the city as being a good place to retire, and as somewhere to visit since its near all the theme parks. Seems the good jobs (40-50K) are all about 2+hours away minimum. |

Hard to find anything above 16K that does not require 5+ years of experience in field around here. I am at the point where I am about to try moving somewhere else and living out of my truck for awhile. I never said I was in a skilled trade. I said previously I have BS degree in Pre law and studied economics on the side. I also said I almost took a job as a paralegal, until they only offered me $9/hour. I mentioned applying for my local school district to get into the tech department. They accepted my initial application, but they only have janitorial and bus driving positions open atm. The situation around here is just all around poor. 30 and 40 year olds line up at the local pizza hut when they open a drivers position. |

| Topic | Mark Zuckerberg calls for a universal basic income |
| AverageBoss 05/26/17 12:42:32 PM #15 | jedirood posted... It sounds great in theory, but... End all current welfare programs remove their administrative costs. Replace them with a single program tied to peoples tax returns paying them (as an example) half the difference of what the make and $30,000. Honestly, this is going to become a real big discussion over the next 50 or so years. We are approaching a post scarcity environment. Automation and robotics are increasing at an exponential rate, and unlike the past, job creation can't keep up. Wages are continuing to stagnate and/or decrease for the lower and middle class. 8 people control 17% of the worlds total wealth, and centralized banks hold around 40%. If these trends continue, something has got to give. That could take the form of mass starvation, civil unrest, new government programs, or entirely new economic models we have not considered seriously yet. |

| AverageBoss 05/25/17 2:32:52 PM #31 | KroganCharr posted... MrZAP17 posted...Firewood18 posted...My 5 yr old started watching Star Wars. When he asked who were the bad/good guys I said it was up to him. He says Vader and the empire should always win. That was the Death Star. Star Destroyers are the evil space triangles (which are much cooler than the space turds the Rebels have), and I think they only lost one onscreen the whole ot. Even then, the Death Stars weak point, was not much of a weak point at all.  |

| AverageBoss 05/23/17 11:16:04 AM #22 | I am not aware of any Buddhist, Taoist, Hindu, Jewish, Christian, Atheist, Jedi, or any other modern religious group that has an ISIS equivalent. Nor am I aware of these religions in their modern incarnations committing anywhere near the number of atrocities done in the name of modern Islam. Islam appears to be in need of a major reformation in the same way some of the religions above had. |
| Topic | Which is the coolest, The Espada, The Akatsuki, or The Homunculi, or Orgi XIII? |
| AverageBoss 05/22/17 10:21:48 PM #4 | The Homunculi are probably my number 2 villain organization. Number 1 would probably be the Society of Ouroboros from the Trails series currently. Though we only know something like half their top members 7 games into the story. |
| Topic | My bracket is done, all years eliminated. |
| AverageBoss 05/22/17 10:17:27 PM #17 | My bracket was screwed over because I thought 1995 would go all the way to the finals, what with it being the year the PS1 launched, as well as the year Chrono Trigger was released. Everything else I got right. |
| Topic | The Resident Evil movie franchise is getting a reboot. |
| AverageBoss 05/22/17 9:47:17 PM #26 | I thought the 2 CG movies were better than any of the live action films. And those were not good themselves. |

| AverageBoss 05/16/17 7:40:08 PM #36 | Don't know your exact conditions TC, but some places are just literal dead zones for decent work. I am employed at a steady position, but the pay is terrible, and does not cover the medical bills I accumulated throughout college (nor my college loan for that matter). I have been looking for two years now with little luck. I almost took a paralegal position, until they told me I would be payed minimum wage, which would have put me in an even worse position. The situation is bad enough here that 30-40 year olds line up outside the local pizzahut when they are looking to hire drivers. And those around me think my 16K is "damn good money". |
