Topic | saw this video going viral of a guy in NYC trying to move his exhausted horse |
Nemu 09/22/22 8:12:43 AM #22 | Unless constantly walking around on pavement is killer for their legs, I dont see any reason to stop the practice, but they definitely need to have some kind of law that regulates how long they can be active in a day and check on their living conditions on a more regular basis. That horse looks like its either being ridden through multiple shifts without pause or simply is unhealthy from lack of care. |
Topic | What's the most despicable thing a human can do? |
Nemu 09/21/22 9:15:58 PM #14 | Purposely abusing someone who unconditionally loves them. |
Topic | The first 3-20 hours of BotW are MAGICAL |
Nemu 09/21/22 8:00:58 PM #41 | I gave up around the ten hour mark because it wasn't meshing, and then came back to binge 90 hours a year later. |
Topic | So whats the deal with the woman king that I see people whining about it? |
Nemu 09/21/22 3:10:56 PM #3 | Its romanticizing slavers. Though Im sure there arguments to be made that the same applies to a lot of the other media we consume, so I guess it kind of depends if its just selective complaining or actually that bad. |
Topic | The Pokemon Company's statement about Nuzlocke |
Nemu 09/21/22 12:48:53 PM #10 | TaylorHeinicke posted... The company not taking issue with fans playing nuzlockes is far different from saying they don't take issue with implementing a nuzlocke mode in the games themselvesThis whole thing comes from some former employees who mentioned recommending themselves playing a nuzlocke run for some kind of stream and getting turned down by higher ups who likened it to unofficial gameplay. |
Topic | Tim Allen tried to make a conservative joke on Twitter and it backfired |
Nemu 09/20/22 7:39:08 PM #59 | Seems like an innocuous enough joke that would work for most recent presidents other than Obama. If someone wants to roast a comedian for their intentions alone, that's not the best joke to chose as a target. |
Topic | Deathloop's new expanded ending. *spoilers* |
Nemu 09/20/22 7:36:08 AM #8 | I think the original vagueness is better, fit more with the choice you have to make. AsucaHayashi posted... Is the game worth a go for the story/narrative?Eh, it's rather basic. They don't really use the looping ability to its full effect from a story perspective. You only really get to deeply explore the MC and the antagonist in any real capacity, and the antagonist runs out of dialogue rather quickly. It's not a bad game, but I wouldn't recommend it at full price. If you can get it cheap/free on a subscription service, it would be worth a run-through. |
Topic | Why is "unhoused" preferred to "homeless?" |
Nemu 09/20/22 7:29:01 AM #54 | Most changes like these amount to do-nothing, feel-good shit. |
Topic | Who would you want Kratos to hunt after the Norse gods? |
Nemu 09/20/22 6:59:26 AM #15 | I am curious if they actually will kill him. I foresee an Apollo Justice situation if they try to do a solo BOY of War situation. |
Topic | Brook ruined One Piece |
Nemu 09/18/22 9:09:44 PM #5 | Nah, his gimmick is used much more sparingly than post-timeskip Sanji's flanderization nonsense. |
Topic | Bardock DLC coming to DBZ Kakarot. |
Nemu 09/18/22 6:29:07 PM #6 | God, that is some annoying crying. If Old Broly was canon, he'd be justified in his rage. Wonder how much longer Nozawa can hang on at this point. I know she wants to go until she dies, but she's like 85+ at this point. |
Topic | Separating sports by sex doesn't make sense. |
Nemu 09/18/22 11:05:13 AM #7 | There are valid points to be made about when and where girls can and should be able to compete on boys teams (or vice versa for smaller boys), but that just seems to be mostly advocating for fantasy, feel-good nonsense. |
Topic | The Pokemon company thinks Nuzlocke runs are on the same level as ROM Hacks |
Nemu 09/18/22 10:44:59 AM #18 | BurmesePenguin posted... What are they talking about? Did they work for the pokemon youtube channel ir sonething?They're probably former Treehouse staff, or some other similar more niche Nintendo team. |
Topic | McDonald's ax swinger in NYC had just been 'rejected' by woman, witness says |
Nemu 09/18/22 9:35:36 AM #13 | God, people are so stupid. You see a guy with any kind of weapon, walk the fuck away ASAP. If he had gone fully mental, he could have at minimum severely injured like ten people super easily with that. |
Topic | Is there an advantage to using iMessage as opposed to normal text? |
Nemu 09/17/22 5:02:53 PM #6 | Do normal texts have options read receipts and typing notifications? |
Topic | AOC accuses DeSantis, Abbott of 'Crimes Against Humanity' for Migrant Stunt |
Nemu 09/17/22 4:58:53 PM #21 | I dont see much wrong in sending them to other places, but doing it like he did with no notification and abusing and lying to a bunch of poor, tired people is disgusting. |
Topic | Is it possible to choke hold a mountain lion? |
Nemu 09/17/22 10:37:42 AM #2 | I dont see why not. It being a much more flexible feline would probably mean it would slice you up well before it passes out though. |
Topic | Christianity in the U.S. is quickly shrinking and may no longer be the majority |
Nemu 09/16/22 3:57:46 PM #36 | That's good. Stupidity will always find a way, but not having an archaic book (or bad interpretation of said book) be the catalyst for said stupidity will certainly reduce it. |
Topic | Various AI Generated Sonic the Hedgehog images. |
Nemu 09/16/22 9:03:23 AM #2 | I feel like AI-induced psychosis is going to be a thing in the future with how some of this shit come out. |
Topic | Which option best describes how you feel about Ariel being black? |
Nemu 09/15/22 12:56:55 PM #46 | It doesn't really matter in an adaptation of a public domain book. I think there's legitimate discourse around race swapping, but the whole thing is so muddled in strawmen and bad faith racist arguments. |
Topic | We've been bamboozled into believing that standing to pee is |
Nemu 09/15/22 10:41:39 AM #13 | What? We do it because it's easier and takes a fraction of the time for those with belts and the like. |
Topic | Would you say it's a good idea to get married once you're 18 years old? |
Nemu 09/15/22 9:30:52 AM #4 | I'm sure the earlier you get married, the higher the chance of failure. Though, it ultimately comes down to the maturity and life plans of the two individuals. |
Topic | Cpt_Pineapple has been SUSPENDED |
Nemu 09/14/22 5:43:03 PM #21 | If it's for that topic about the queen's mourning period, that seems like a really arbitrary one to strike. That's a very active meme topic right now. |
Topic | You just started a new game with a character creator |
Nemu 09/14/22 5:20:04 PM #3 | I don't really have a set choice, so I'll flip flop between the two. Often depends on what has better options and if the choice affects the story. |
Topic | Do you believe in not speaking ill of recently deceased celebrities? |
Nemu 09/14/22 5:11:15 PM #33 | It really depends on context. I'd say quite often it comes off as petty virtue signalling, but death is also not a shield from criticism. |
Topic | Which is better, MCU or DCAU? |
Nemu 09/14/22 5:06:58 PM #2 | DCAU got kind of silly towards the end with the ten thousand member Justice League and the ending was pretty weak. It's definitely still quite up there in quality, but I'd say the highs of the MCU are higher. |
Topic | Is it weird to not have a TV in your house? |
Nemu 09/14/22 4:13:03 PM #16 | Given the rise of smart phones and tablets, I can see TVs becoming more of a niche thing for some people, depending on their lifestyle. Definitely out of the norm, but not weird. |
Topic | Japan tells women who don't want to be groped to go to the back of the train. |
Nemu 09/14/22 10:58:54 AM #14 | What's the charge there for groping? Is it a slap on the wrist like a fine, or do they have actual consequences for it? Other than gross cultural acceptance, lack of punishment would be the only way to make sense of it being so common. |
Topic | Do you think this restaurant was within their rights to deny service to a.. |
Nemu 09/14/22 9:40:01 AM #20 | Zikten posted... NoWe need social change to kill tipping culture, but all refusing to tip currently does is hurt the server. If you refuse to partake in any service that "requires" tipping, that's fair. |
Topic | Girl who killed accused rapist must pay his family $150,000. |
Nemu 09/14/22 8:43:28 AM #3 | So was there evidence that countered her narrative that she was kidnapped and raped, or was it just a clownshow of a courtroom? Sounds like massive bullshit if it's the latter. |
Topic | Just beat Immortals Fenyx Rising, easily better than BOTW |
Nemu 09/13/22 9:47:41 PM #7 | I've tried to get into it, but the world feels bleh to explore. |
Topic | The UK sounds like an actual hellhole right now |
Nemu 09/13/22 5:34:31 PM #17 | Those memes of things like old Nintendo consoles being shut down are pretty funny though. |
Topic | Rape victim DNA used to make an arrest |
Nemu 09/13/22 5:16:45 PM #35 | Jerry_Hellyeah posted... This is a criminal investigation we are talking about. Nobody is "blindly trusting", they are approving for someone's DNA to be run through a database of unsolved crimes. That is an EXTREMELY dishonest argument.I'm talking about in general. It's a discussion of whether our DNA is private information or if the government should have free access to it outside criminal investigations. If it's private information, then a victim needs to have the right to decide how it is utilized. The government simply having access to it shouldn't lead to the right for them to use it without the owner's consent. If it's not private information, they then should be able to store every single citizen's DNA without our consent, which is a particularly heavy talking point. Basically, it has to be one way or the other. The middle ground of "well, we have it now so might as well use it" really can't be allowed to exist. |
Topic | On the highway; if you're not gonna pass someone up emphatically during traffic |
Nemu 09/13/22 3:55:31 PM #7 | Oh hey, don't mind me person going 15MPH over, I'm just going to notice you coming and rush of the right lane real quick to spend the next 5 miles slowly passing the person in front of me at 0.1MPH faster than they're going. |
Topic | Rape victim DNA used to make an arrest |
Nemu 09/13/22 3:51:40 PM #26 | I'm kind of torn. I also don't really care about the rights of an asshole who commits a crime worthy of testing for DNA evidence, but it ultimately makes sense for everyone to be playing under the same confidentiality rules to avoid abuse with people's personal information. I guess it really comes down to the idea if our DNA is considered our own private information or if we should blindly trust the government with it. |
Topic | Why dont people in jail just go out the emergency exits? |
Nemu 09/13/22 2:12:49 PM #6 | Curious how fire evacuation plans actually work in a prison. Wonder if they have several different protocols depending on fire severity. |
Topic | In general, why are most African countries so poor? |
Nemu 09/13/22 1:14:39 PM #16 | I'd assume lesser opportunities for stable agriculture led to slower development of similar infrastructure in other regions, and the activities of outside powers being less than helpful to the growth of nations. |
Topic | Florida Christian Teacher Charged For Twerking Student and Forcing Them to Drink |
Nemu 09/13/22 8:31:19 AM #6 | [LFAQs-redacted-quote] I know some places have different laws regarding people in positions of authority, so he might technically be considered under the age of consent due to that. |
Topic | How many Star Fox games have you played? |
Nemu 09/12/22 5:20:31 PM #14 | Both the SNES ones, 64, Adventures, the DS one. |
Topic | New Amazon warehouse near me is such an eyesore |
Nemu 09/12/22 4:08:36 PM #29 | Surprised they dont do external parking lots and then do shuttles over from there. Though that would require a modicum of sense for accommodating their employees. |
Topic | If Someone Punches You & Runs Away, Can You Go To Jail For Shooting Them? |
Nemu 09/12/22 4:06:14 PM #4 | Id say probably no argument for self-defense in 99% of cases, but Im sure there is at least some circumstance where you could probably argue that you thought they were going to come back and do more harm or something. It would have to be a large physical disparity like a small woman and a very large man though. |
Topic | Hypothetical: Your son has the healing powers of Jesus but charges a fortune |
Nemu 09/12/22 3:55:54 PM #10 | Given that youd need to be in perpetual hiding if that power is public, pretty much the only way you could live if you reveal your power. Otherwise, youd be accosted by people 24/7 best case scenario, kidnapped or killed is worst. Sad. |
Topic | Nintendo Direct tomorrow!! |
Nemu 09/12/22 10:16:27 AM #8 | Always seems like such a weird time to do it. That's like midnight in Japan, right? You think they'd do it at like 8-10PM EST so it's morning in Japan. |
Topic | The ESRB has given Assassin's Creed Mirage an AO rating for gambling |
Nemu 09/11/22 11:40:04 AM #32 | They'll probably just break all established norms and sell the game as normal with zero outrage because it's not sex-related. |
Topic | Where were you on 9/11? How did you find out about what happened? |
Nemu 09/11/22 11:23:48 AM #25 | I was in class. All the teachers were apprehensive. I had no clue what the Twin Towers even were at the time, so I thought they were talking about some minor, local monument or something. I don't think we had an accessible TV, so I didn't really get the scope of what happened until they canceled school and sent us home. |
Topic | Velma will no longer call the police in Multiversus after bad optics with Lebron |
Nemu 09/10/22 10:07:12 PM #42 | The van makes more sense, but the reason for changing it is utterly stupid "controversy" for the sake of it. |
Topic | Pitbulls make up 6% of the dog population but are responsible for 68% of attacks |
Nemu 09/10/22 3:13:01 PM #19 | [LFAQs-redacted-quote] It would be the fact that they're inherently more aggressive combined with a higher frequency than normal of bad reasons for ownership. Again, we're talking about probably sub-1% of the pitbull population. Consideration is warranted, but calls for their banning are hyperbolic. |
