The more sales the game gets, the better for them and future products. Ignoring the quandary of whether one wants to support JKR in any capacity or not, every sale will objectively help the developers.

I think the premise is basically a less toxic and more introspective take on the incel issue, but it sounds like it kind of just wraps back around and ends up in the same place.

Out of all things in all religions, it is so weird that we focus on this one in particular as the ultimate taboo of taboos to always cater to just because some insane freaks have committed acts of terror over it. Instead of giving them that power, fuck them and fuck their sensibilities. For the vast majority of Muslims who aren't insane, they can get over it. It's completely fair if an institution wants to give warnings, but they should otherwise expect no other special care in a secular society.

The concept of the show seems so weird in the first place. Recontextualizing the main character is one thing, but it seems like most everything is so radically different that it just feels like it's basically just stealing the clout from an existing IP for the sake of propping up something that couldn't get greenlit on its own merit.

I'd imagine the most hideous woman would have a much easier time finding someone to bed than the most hideous man out there.

Nope, could be puke green or hot pink, and would make zero difference to me. Its going inside the case forever, so should only see it a couple times ever.

Mainstream audiences wouldnt really resonate with the character in any capacity, so not really sure what point youre trying to make. If it was a case of calling a gay Denji a horrible degenerate while not batting an eye at straight Denji being a degenerate, that would be fair.

maybe you would have a point if the story didnt end with the guy coming out with a gun and threatening to kill a family

It's hard to judge that part without knowing what was going on at that exact moment. All we seem to have are the words of the parents, who are hardly going to be neutral to the situation. The guy could be a trigger-happy nutjob with zero sympathy for the kid, or he could have legitimately felt threatened by the parents at that moment. The parents are going to be furious regardless of the circumstances, so him being on edge due to that is hardly out of the question.

I'm confused as to how any blame can be put on the dog owner unless he was there illegally. Sounds like it's just a shitty set of circumstances where nobody can really be blamed other than the kid maybe using bad judgment depending on if he's familiar to the normal occupants of the home or a complete stranger.

So this is like a landlord having direct access to an on-site doorbell camera or just having surveillance on the property?

I'd say it would be good to have more context, but I don't think there's any context outside of her having a hidden gun that would require such a bitch move like that.

No different than going to a park or on a hike, so just depends on if you like the scenery.

That's such a weird scam to me. My immediate thought would be "so you found out that your 13 year old daughter is lying about her age to be on a dating site and your first reaction is to blackmail the guys she matched with?"

But apparently it's a common one that people fall for?

I guess the first thought might be the court of public opinion. Even if you did nothing wrong, being accused of being a pedo can be pretty damaging to your social circle. But the person would have to think it's actually a real threat first.

I really don't understand how we don't have cameras thoroughly covering every inch of every prison at this point. There really should be no opportunity for anything illegal to be happening in jail with our current technology.

It's amazing that anyone under the age of 50 would ever be taken in by an internet scam.

Turns out Dug is actually a demon from hell using the innocence of a child to claim the Throne of God.

It's a fine differentiator for work that requires no prior experience and minimal training. If you're working the full position in less than a pay period, it's not particularly hard.

Do I really need to answer this? Amazon can afford to shut a facilty down for one day to show they care and hire temps when production resumes.

Why does a facility with millions of square feet need to be closed for a medical death? They absolutely 100% screwed up by allowing any employees within distance of the area and actively trying to work around a tragedy, but otherwise it's silly to send however many of hundreds of people home just for that. Nobody other than upper management should have been allowed within 100 feet of the scene. Anyone greatly impacted should be offered time off and counseling. Short of a horrible accident or a murder, that's really all that needs to happen in such a large space.

Have only had like one day of complete snow coverage all year as of yet. Very nice compared to years where we get snow coverage in November that doesn't go away until April. Has to suck for the ski resorts though.

Shutting down an entire facility that probably employs hundreds would be overkill, but they should definitely be keeping people well away from that particular area.

Curious as to the point of it. I'd imagine most of the people involved with that decision are dead and they're not going to get anything out of it. I guess bringing injustice to light is never a bad thing, but the amount of time makes it seem pointless.

People who try to take anyone with them are the worst. Don't single out the kids as if they're more special and/or worth more than the wife. Human life shouldn't be given a value like that. Any loss is a tragedy, no matter how young or old.

Nah, there is a special horribleness in doing it to your own kids, small, helpless humans who should generally unconditionally love you.

Flying would be too much of a pain without the enhanced super durability. Bugs, lack of air, coldness, etc.

People who try to take their kids with them are the worst fucking scum.

Relative from his peak, yes. Anywhere towards not being a billionaire, unlikely unless he goes so bonkers than Kanye looks sane.

Pretty sure anything that high on Amazon is bot-priced. There's so many Amazon sellers with nonsensical prices that must be determined through some kind of badly optimized algorithm because I refuse to believe humans can be that bad at figuring shit out so often.

People can become complacent even in a high risk situation. I'd question why they brought the small, dumb child in the first place though.

Depends on the bird. Mine was on or near me every waking moment I was home. Some prefer their own time.

It was fun. The additions were all good. Some significant stuff got removed, but a lot of fluff was trimmed as well. Some annoying instances of CGI, but definitely not as horrible as some other series.

I'd say the higher the count, the more likely there are to be potential relationship issues for both sexes, but it's not like it's set in stone. It's ultimately just a case by case thing and the boundaries one has in establishing a relationship.

Nah, it was too messy and nonsensical at times. They put the cameos ahead of a coherent plot.

YouTube is weird how they deal with nudity. There are full play throughs of games using nude mods, and all they do is age restrict them.

The character dynamics are fun. The actual plot gets a bit dumb, but the way the characters interact keeps it stable.

I think its funny, but nobody defending it should ever make comments about body shaming. Its no different than saying someone has little man syndrome. You could defend that in the same way.

I imagine the ones released for PC probably have mods to that effect.

Fate/stay night is a visual novel with 3 routes. 2006 is sort of a mix of 2 routes. It's mediocre. The 2013-ish Unlimited Blade Works anime is another route. It's quite good. There are three movies depicting another route, Heaven's Feel. They're good. None of them will give you the full story, so you're kind of jumping into the middle of the pool unless you read the VN.

Looked like too much CGI garbage and wonky animation that's been plaguing anime for the last decade.

They wanted to make him more like Tom Holland. It makes him look like he's two years older than Miles, rather than ten.

Curious if my flight tomorrow will go through. I'm flying out of a smaller airport outside of what looks to be their major problem areas, so hopefully it counts as one of the 10-20% going as normal.

It's less the process itself and more the idiots spamming it everywhere and not understanding what it entails. It's like crypto/NFTbro level annoying, except the thing they're shilling does have potential value in the future.

If someone wants to disassociate from something because they are uncomfortable, thats fine, but it feels like most cases you see online are just virtue signaling social grandstands. If someone needs to advertise it unprompted, they probably dont really care other than making themselves look better than others. There is so much horrible shit going on in the world that youd give yourself a stroke if you tried to avoid all of it.

Yeah, most everything we consume can be shown to be part of some atrocity or another, so no point in moral grandstanding on any one particular point unless you're a saint who can go without mass-produced goods. If you don't want to consume it, good for you, but don't act like others need to do so.

Isn't that rape under false pretenses?

Probably not from a legal standpoint, when transactional sex isn't legal in the first place.

Somewhere between 4-6 when I saw my mother putting all the presents under the tree.

Its just pointless discourse from slacktivists who want something to seem virtuous about.

You can objectively measure how much a fandom takes to a certain piece of media and how much that resonates with wider society culturally. You have niche things that only superfans get into, and you have stuff like Star Wars that resonates everywhere in American culture. Avatar probably doesn't have many niche fans, and it hasn't resonated with people aside from being super pretty.
