where's Metal Wolf Chaos

"September 6, 2017: Gregory Lee Leingang, a 42-year-old man from North Dakota, attempted to assassinate President Donald Trump in Mandan, North Dakota. Trump was visiting North Dakota to rally public support. Leingang stole a forklift from an oil refinery and drove toward the presidential motorcade. After the forklift became jammed within the refinery, he fled on foot and was arrested by the pursuing police. While interviewed in detention, he admitted his intent to murder the president by flipping the presidential limousine with the stolen forklift, to the surprise of authorities, who suspected he was merely stealing the vehicle for personal use. The man pled guilty to the attempted attack, stealing the forklift, related charges and several other unrelated crimes on the same day. Consequently, he was sentenced to 20 years in prison. His defense attorney noted a "serious psychiatric crisis".[106][107] Leingang's choice of a forklift as a weapon was unique among presidential assassination attempts."

uhhhh yeah guys my vote is for other, how the fuck do I not remember this story, I can't believe there's an alternate universe where donald trump got assassinated with a forklift

more than half of these are plots I wish worked

I love the scene in AotC where Obi-Wan gets to the clone facility and they're like "oh you must be the jedi we're looking for" and he's like "uhhh, yeah! yes, totally"

I think it's gonna be Get Out. major upset. nobody will see it coming

Mega
Galaga

They're both terrible but Attack of the Clones has some kind of fun stuff with Obi-Wan doing detective work and then one exciting action sequence with Jango Fett outside the lab on the rainy planet so it's always been the winner for me, TPM is just interminable from start to finish, there isn't a single thing I like about it, including duel of the fates and podracing

Pac
Metroid

Am I missing anything of value here

Like - sorry for the spoiler bars, I am trying to avoid doing this - but what azuarc posted is just straightforwardly a spoiler for the outcomes of chapters 4 and 5, there isn't even really any ambiguity about this - it was a SPOILER

It's the fact that you mentioned your feelings about the other chapters in the game. You didn't spoil anything directly per se, but it's best to just not mention anything about future stuff to ensure Chris has a relatively blind, unbiased experience.

I know I've certainly had my fill of people saying "Just wait until you get to that part" and then anticipating it so much that, when the moment finally happens, it doesn't live up to the hype. Ben can attest to accidentally ruining a surprise for one of our mutual friends just by saying a small phrase that didn't inherently spoil anything but gave a faint idea of what to expect.

I think that post was worse than this. If you think about DRV3 it's not hard to understand why.

If Occupy Democrats isn't a republican undercover operation, I'm not sure what an actual republican undercover operation would be doing differently.

It's best to just remember that their whole strategy is, explicitly, to do what conservative commentators do but in reverse, and basically ignore them. Their strategy is stupid and trashy, but they actually aren't some sort of false flag op despite appearances.

I think people need to acknowledge both that western europe is a better place to live than the US and that doesn't mean the rest of europe is, let alone most of the world.

It seems like everyone is either USA IS DA BEST or USA IS LITTERALLY THE WORST COUNRY

I just don't like people in other countries absolving themselves because their extremist conservatives aren't in power. You could be us if you're not careful, don't get cocky

Memes and comics are all I have left.

Cute joke but it acts like there aren't conservatives who are equally if not more horrifying in Europe, and some countries are run by them (Hungary, Poland, etc)

This is a pretty good way to describe Chris Pratt

I'm happy G1-4 did something for you because it's my least favorite case in the series

I did, I called this one before the trial started

Despair Searching does kick ass yeah

I'm thinking about a nomination list, I just haven't made one yet

I feel kind of bad because I'm mostly just a huge fan of the NES and I feel like the contest will mostly be NES games with a few guest stars

Honestly I feel like losing the FIFA branding is a blessing

Maybe the true contest was the friends we made along the way

The characters in Wandavision didn't interest me until I watched Wandavision

Hmm, I've spent at least a week in every region except for red and purple. Can't say I'm eager to do so, especially not red

Moon Knight was okay

Top 50 metro rankings:

6 . Washington, DC (comparable to Philly)
20. Baltimore (comparable to Denver)
22. Charlotte (comparable to Orlando)
30. Cincinnati (comparable to Las Vegas)
35. Nashville (comparable to Cleveland)
37. Virginia Beach (comparable to San Jose)
41. Raleigh (comparable to Milwaukee)
44. Richmond
45. Louisville (comparable to Salt Lake City)

Lots of big places in green and many of them are younger.

side note: weird that Raleigh and Durham are considered two different metros, or combined they would be around 30.

edit: I left out Charlotte at first! whoops

Yeah, it makes sense when you add it all up, since NC, VA, MD, and TN are all reasonably big states and it has a few chunks of other places too - my point of surprise still makes sense I think though since every other area's second-largest metro is bigger than Baltimore (except for the purple area which I originally thought included Philadelphia, so now I'm a little bit surprised by the purple area too, but I think both the green and purple areas have a lot of suburban sprawl compared to the other regions)

Actually, if you zoom in Philly itself is in the brown area. That whole metro is annoyingly right on a boundary line with no way to avoid splitting it weird.

Unrelated, I also made this other map people might find interesting. The areas shaded in green take up roughly 3.1% of America's land area but contain roughly 50.1% of the US population.

and much less than 50% of the US's political power!

Oh weird you're right

I was steadfastly Warren 1 Sanders 2 everyone else whatever, I voted for Bernie in the primary since Warren had dropped out by the time it got to me (although by the time it got to me it was pretty locked up for Biden)

Yeah I guess that's true, I'm underestimating the size of DC/Baltimore, it's big

As far as the other areas go;

Red - Atlanta and Miami - DC is bigger than both of these but Red has ALL of Florida and Georgia which seems enormous
Orange - Los Angeles
Yellow - Chicago
Blue - Nothing really but it's big and has a lot of decently-sized metros in it (Phoenix, San Diego, Denver)
Purple - Philadelphia (which DC is slightly bigger than, my bad)
Brown - NYC
Gray - Houston and Dallas

The green area is the one I'm surprised is equivalent to the others, it doesn't have any of the really fuck-off big metro areas in it, but I guess after you add up VA, most of NC, most of MD, and then also significant chunks of Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana it adds up

I like Doctor Strange, I didn't really find it to be all that boring at all, it's a little hard to fit the necessary character development into a 2 hour movie but I think they did as best they could given the circumstances to where Strange's confrontation against Dormammu feels earned

awesome. also it's apparently a promo card so who gives a shit

As far as I know, Salmon P. Chase was pretty good - I don't know a lot about him other than that he was a judge who was anti-slavery and defended the rights of fugitive slaves but that alone wins him this poll comfortably because the others are kinda dogshit.

I would remove Mario

Also did you guys fucking know the actor for the husband played SHORT ROUND in Indiana Jones???

This man had me tearing up in the theater. Short Round redemption arc 2022.

Fucking masterpiece.

Not only that, but Ke Huy Quan had retired from acting for decades because there were so few acting opportunities for him as an adult, which makes his return here all the more triumphant. Everyone in this film is great but he was really an unexpected emotional anchor of this film and really acted it like it meant something to him. Can't say enough good things about his performance, he deserves a damn oscar nomination for supporting actor for this.

You can only punt a ball as far as your coverage team can run anyway

Yeah I think voting against a good action because it could serve as precedent for a bad action later is not great.

Eh, I can kinda see both sides of this one, civil forfeiture really is a scourge that should be beaten back as much as possible

I mean while I am sure thats the real reason, it really, really shows that even the most left-wing democrats are not left-wing, radical, or in any way far-left. Taking private assets into public control where appropriate is basically a requirement for socialism, and its the assets of the ultra-rich being used for a public good.

I find this to be a pretty fascinating point, actually - if there's anything you think an ultra-left socialist would be extremely in favor of, at least by the definitions that people mean when they talk about such a thing, you would think that seizing rich peoples' yachts would be it.

More accurately, their view on the left is formed entirely on what the right tells them about the left, which is how you get the groomer discourse. Nobody's actually listening to the left here, and when engaged with, they are primed for offense. That's what labelling everything as woke sjw shit is meant to do and you can see this from their gut reactions to media featuring minority members or any time a woman asserts dominance over a man.

Using my brother as an example he can't even handle sarcastic references to feminism in comedy without taking it as a serious threat. In literally Taskmaster NZ there was a prize task for "best green thing", and one woman brought a statue of the Green M&M lady and touted it up as a feminist icon and my brother took it seriously, scoffing how there's always gotta be a feminist on the shows. Then a guy brought out a female member of the Green Party and an opponent knocked it down as dehumanizing to bring a women as a "best thing" and my brother went livid at how there's nothing dehumanizing about calling people a thing. Like holy crap dude it's a comedy show, you've seen plenty episodes where contestants try to make up significance or drag their rivals down on any technicality they can grasp, why are you taking this to be serious feminist debate??? Literally a green m&m statue holy shit man.

Shang-Chi as well of course he had to scoff at Shang-Chi mentioning an experience dealing with racist bullies, reactively spouting "oh yeah sure THAT really happened"....... it's a fictional movie with magic dragons god dammit. Watching any media with my brother is an absolute minefield since you never know when when he's gonna get triggered by any hints of social progressivism.

isn't it just amazing to really unpackage how thin-skinned and emotionally reactionary people who claim to be otherwise are

meanwhile, the sheer amount of shit that any trans person have to politely hold our tongues about in a week is more than anything they've had to put up with in a lifetime

it's very tiring

I mean the fact that the left doesn't have an actual voice in power is a big part of the conversation. Obama & Biden aren't left but they get our support which kinda demolishes the whole woke extremist idea. The left argues with itself and compromises towards the center, all while the right solely panders to its base, backed by actual state legislation as red meat and declaring to flatly obstruct anything from the opposition for nearly two decades.

Yeah the more I think about it the more annoyed I am that we get this whole "people running to the left" narrative when I've done nothing but compromise towards the center all my life with meager returns (the democratic party HAS moved left, especially socially, but at a glacial pace) while meanwhile the republican party actually HAS run right to chase all the people who ran that way

To that graph...

Ten years ago, Mitt Romney was considered the face of the Republican Party, and was chosen to take on Barack Obama for the presidency.

Today, Mitt Romney is one of only three Republican senators willing to vote in favor of confirming an overqualified judge to the Supreme Court, and he's considered a "RINO".

But yeah, conservatives have stayed exactly the same.

Meanwhile, Barack Obama was the face of the Democratic party ten years ago, and now his vice president is

(yes, I know that's not the "left", but I'm making a different comparison here)

Looks like he is no longer a leftist by his own admission, Corrik

It's hilarious how much this meme tells on himself; I have a word for people who think only the people on the left are rushing to the extreme end of the spectrum while ignoring the right, and it's not "left-of-center"

it's incredibly fucking funny that anyone would think elon musk is "on the left"

Hi Ara it's nice and very weird to see you here

I thought case 2 was okay. I like investigating the ship, I think it's a cool setting, and I like the introductions of Susato and Sholmes. This case is basically kind of the Sholmes Show which saves it. The 'murder' is super weird and the lack of a court scene is offputting though yeah.

"Solving world hunger" is itself a child's idea of tackling any sort of world problem, but Elon's the one who suggested it
