vanille and diablo

ffxiii is powerful, the character is a debuffer, healer and spellcaster here

diablo can shield her, and is beefy enough to take direct hits while they're both farting out magic or whatever

"has anyone ever been thrown in jail for hoping something" give me a break, how more political can you get. might as well ask if anyone has been prosecuted for "giving an offer someone can't refuse"

my impression is that trump's campaign or people in his campaign were under investigation, and trump was acting like an idiot. why does this hearing have to be so difficult?

i mean, in some ways it is probably smart to focus on the piss thing, because it's the one least likely to be true

theoretically that would draw the attention away from any likely financial hang-ups. when they come out everyone will be like "well at least it's not a piss tape!"

they are completely different experiences. It's like having to rank eating, drinking, sleeping, breathing, playing, and talking. This is pretty fun to think about, actually

1. Literature
2. Film
3. Video Games
4. Music
5. TV
6. Comics

but they each serve a different purpose

Music is purely emotional/experiential. Literature has the deepest ability to spark introspection, understanding and creativity. By a LONG shot. It's almost like you get to learn how other people think.

Film is the most tightly wound package overall. TV and Comics are often bad in a lot of ways, but even the bad ones can grab you with stockholm syndrome almost as well as literature. Video games are completely different from the rest because they are participatory by definition.


Favorite Literature: Too many. Recent favorites being Inferno (1976), Shadow of the Torturer, The Things They Carried. Recent very goods: The Black Company, Robot series (Isaac Asimov), Foundation series, Mars Trilogy (Kim Stanley Robinson)

Favorite FIlm: This is literally impossible for me to pick. They are all so different. Alien, Aliens, The Man Who Would Be King, The Bridge on the River Kwai, Looper, Moon, Fight Club, Gladiator, The Fifth Element, X-Men 2

Favorite Television: The Killing
Favorite "Bad"* Television: Star Trek: The Next Generation, Twin Peaks, Fringe

Favorite Comics: The Watchmen
Favorite "Bad" Comics: original Fantastic Four, original spider-man

Favorite Music: Literally cannot pick, because it depends on my emotional context. I am constantly listening to different music while working. Most recent thing I wanted to play on loop was C2C - Delta.

Favorite Video Games: Tough, i want to split this into different categories (competitive, storytelling, etc), and games get better every year. Rocket League, Halo: Combat Evolved, Metal Gear Solid, Starcraft (hell, Starcraft 2), Super Mario 64, Super Mario Galaxy, Final Fantasy 7, Dying Light after the first few hours.. So many games were great at the time and didn't age well, or relied so much on the story that they aren't worth a second playthrough- Mass Effect trilogy, Knights of the Old Republic. Games are so different that it's hard to rank them against each other

*By bad, I mean it embodies a lot of the things that i hate about the medium, but still comes out on top

It's been a while, but if I remember correctly....

Season one was great, season two i think was good, season three was so bad in fundamental ways, season four was okay.

i'm not chomping at the bit to watch season 5. On average I wouldn't say the show has been worth it after season one. Plus I'm a little too fatigued by real life political drama to want to spend my free time watching more

Regardless of whether or not ulti believes what he is saying, his primary objective is to get a reaction from you guys

The actual content is a very, very distant second. He has straight up admitted as such. Will ignore good arguments and quote one lazy line, etc

It's sad to say this, but the only answer that makes any sense is deporting literally every Muslim suspected of terrorism and their families. Seems harsh, but all these attackers are already on watch lists for plots to commit terrorism.

Muslims shouldn't be the only ones, either. If you're Kathy Griffin and threaten the president, get the fuck out. Same for Ted Nugent, Madonna, or any of these idiots that burned a Trump effigy or lynched an Obama effigy. Get the fuck out. Threaten the queen of England? Get the fuck out. Make an ISIS video? Get the fuck out.

Know what the answer ISN'T? Going on apology tours and inviting more of these people in.

you know, this is a pretty good troll post

it starts off as something that mostly makes sense, something that i only partially disagree with, assuming i have the time to clarify why. then, over the course of two paragraphs, it spirals out of control into madness

to respond to this genuinely, the answer lies somewhere in the middle (which is what the u.s. is already doing) but we have to watch out for mccarthyism

but yeah, to prevent every single terrorist attack we would just have to remove everyone from the country. i can't disagree with that

The average person that suffers wrongful injury or death doesn't receive nearly a million dollars in donations, so... I'm not sure how you can separate the two like that. They're receiving that "recompense for wrongful injury and death" only because they did the right thing.

sure, i'll grant it's a combination of the two. it's like a venn diagram. they are receiving recompense for being damaged in the process of doing the right thing- which is theoretically what happens automatically with people hurt in the process doing their job or serving in the military

at the same time, i can't possibly believe you're suggesting they would be getting these donations if the entire story was "three guys stand up for kids on the subway. they are okay. possibly even a little sad. please donate"

if the government (trump) hands out big fat subsidies to non renewables the renewables won't be able to compete

Renewable energy is subsidized far more than anything already

yeah, and we need to keep it that way, and make it even more lopsided

fossil fuels still get billions of dollars that they shouldnt

like yeah i love the idea of free range chickens but i'm not going to pay five times as much for my eggs, i'm not that great of a person

but yeah, renewables will win out in the end. it's a matter of how quickly vs. how much damage is done in the interim

i'll admit i only watched the first episode, and the show just looked like it was going to be terrible

to be fair, first episodes sometimes bog down because they have to spend the whole time establishing a bunch of characters that aren't interesting yet

His point is being taken out of context

He's not saying they should be given more money specifically

He's saying the amount of money he/the others are receiving just for doing the right thing is kinda ridiculous, especially with how little kindness/support the intended victims are actually receiving in comparison.

i would argue they're not receiving money for doing the right thing, they're receiving money as recompense for wrongful injury and death

Injury and death was their reward for doing the right thing

did they die?

do they have medical bills?

if the answer to both of those questions is no, i'm pretty sure the families of the dead guys and the people with medical bills could use the money more.

what an idiot. is he just trying his best to look like a "nice guy"? he should put his money where his mouth is and give away the donations he receives

I still don't get why America, a land built on immigration, should suddenly hate it.

You're drinking the Kool-Aid.

Only a teeny, tiny group of racists are against immigration entirely. Most people are only against illegal/undocumented immigration. You'll be hard-pressed to find anyone that's upset by someone who entered the country legally.

yeah you're right. it's just a weird thing to base your entire platform on. feels like a distraction or scapegoat

i think most americans are pretty much in agreement as to what the problems are, it's just the order, magnitude and manner in which they are tackled which is the problem
