This isn't a new concept. How do you think Pilaf's gang got younger?

Shenron generally cannot affect powerful people without their consent, like bringing Goku back from space. Even with being powered up, making everyone young should be Super Shenron level.

Going to have to explain how the normal dragon has enough power to do bullshit like that. Guess this is their attempt at reconceptualizing GT. Hopefully it's not shit.

Of all the things, I don't understand paying for skins in first person games. Unless you religiously watch your own replays, you'll only see them for like ten seconds between games.

Wonder if the increase in massive jackpots is due to people playing less. Power ball definitely has more drawings now than before, but getting to 1 billion was still super rare previously.

How could someone wave something at someone in 1 second?

If he actually "turned the gun toward one of the officers," that means he had it in hand and it was being pointed directly at one of the officers, which could happen in the span of a second. Though that also depends on factors like where he was, where they were coming from, his awareness of the situation, ect. And all that's assuming the police are actually being truthful and not just lying to cover up gross incompetence.

If he was actually threatening people with a gun and actually stupidly waved it around directly towards the cops, it might be fair, but this is definitely a wait for all the facts kind of case given usual police screwups in situations like this.

So they'll still be available, just not from the feed? Guess the intent must be to increase page transitions? Or decrease Tweet interaction to decrease clicks? Either way, another dumb choice when a lot of people like to click the buttons for whatever dumb reason.

Even ignoring relative attractiveness, it's stupid how they keep changing the models so much. It's like the whole Infamous situation, but they went ahead with it despite it being stupid.

It generally means they move their production outside the US, leading to a loss of jobs, rather than wholesale leaving the country. Whether that's actually true or not is another story.

Ive noticed that both FedEx and UPS much more recently just like giving dates, even if they make no sense. I guess for some reason theyd rather be wrong then say its undetermined. I feel like it started happening more after the strike scare.

Other than just seeing it as a weird fetish, probably from seeing the weirdest of them get the most attention. Furries seem to be sort of a nexus point for deviant fetishes, so, similar with the eccentric Sonic porn fandom, people see all that crazy shit and think they're all like that. Then you have the subset of ones who actually do day to day stuff in the fursuits, which weirds people out in the same way as the MLP fans who make it their outward personality.

Fandom is the poster child of unneeded constant innovation. Instead of just making a platform that works and making minor tweaks as needed, they constantly need to make improvements for no particular reason.

Left lane hogs are some of the most infuriating people out there. It's crazy when you stumble upon the ones who literally will not move no matter what, even 5-10 people passing them on the right doing nothing to deter them.

What is it? All I'm seeing are a bunch of garbage speculation articles.

Most realistic chain of events IMO:

Lyft driver was in a hurry to get next faire. Sped off immediately. Noticed cat a few minutes later and panic dumped it. Then continued to speed off to get more passengers.

I doubt this was done to be deliberately cruel to the cat. Driver is a huge asshole for not fessing up to it. He could have literally just texted the guy "sorry in a rush put your cat on the sidewalk on this street" and he still would have been an asshole but at least the owner wouldn't have been stressed out all day over it and he could have gotten the cat back much faster.

That wouldnt really explain the whole ignoring his phone going off dozens of times thing.

Sounds bizarre. Has to be a case where the driver was on something and got stupidly paranoid. Other than missing details, nothing really explains him being that stupid.

Just the normal trend of a long-running manga with a continuous adaptation going on at the same time. There will always be a need for filler. I feel like they've gotten away from that trend in recent years, opting to go with one season at a time for a lot of newer shounen.

Some email services have the trusted sender thing, though it looks like thats a spoof in the email itself.

Which tells you how fucked up it was

Nah, it just shows Steam has no actual standards.

I'm pretty sure their selection process is completely arbitrary. It's not even like bias against certain things, but simply dependent on which person/team reviews which game.

The easiest comparison is that probably Greedo who appeared in Star Wars for thirty seconds is more culturally known than whoever the villain in the first Avatar was. Relative to its massive earnings, you're never going to see any significant fanbasing about it, which is just relatively weird.

Expulsion might not be unwarranted depending on the specific details, but I wouldn't instantly jump to it. It really depends on history of the students, if it was equal blame for all or if there were specific people in charge, and the exact nature of the pictures. As long as it's within the upper bounds of extremely fucking creepy, sounds more like a massive reeducation, long term punishment kind of thing.

I get being against it on principle, but it's not really the same thing as artists seeing their work basically being traced by AI and then directly profited on. AI won't be putting out books (of any decent quality at least) any time soon.

As long as they didn't have an existing connection before she was 18, who cares?

And if a designer said he didn't like audio/video options, I'd say his artistic vision is a little goofy

You're basically criticizing a genre for being a genre at this point. It's fair to say you think it should change, kind of like how Fire Emblem became more casual, but there's a difference between advocating for change and acting like it's dumb for something to not change. Pokemon should offer more challenging gameplay, but I don't expect it because Nintendo wants a button mashing toddler to be able to get through all of them.

I'm really curious what aspect of it is taking so long. It obviously has to have a lot of feature creep, going from DLC to a full game, but how much could they possibly be adding compared to what we've seen?

Thanks

I really dislike the Android interface, but I don't get the extent to which some people get hateboners over phone brands.

Sure, I'd take it.

It can definitely take away from the point of the game. For Souls, it's literally a genre at this point. It's like arguing that all Roguelikes should allow for progression and saving. Some developers have added difficulty levels or means of permanently getting stronger, but the majority seem to stick to the letter.

If everybody did it it would force their employers to pay their wages, the results of which would ultimately force changes.

Which is just a silly pipe dream. Change needs to happen, but imaginary boycotts aren't going to bring it about.

Tipping culture sucks, but anyone who refuses to participate in it (in sectors where it makes up someone's actual wages) until it's abolished is just an asshole.

It probably will depend on how unified each party is by the end. Biden is probably going to continually decline, and he doesn't have fanatics. Trump could shit himself on stage and his idiots would call it a power play. Wish Biden could just sign an age limit into law and prevent both of them from running. Really the only way out of this shit show.

Generally no, but there was a pretty big homeless camp that started popping somewhere out in the woods near our old office. Probably saw more homless people going in and out of the woods in two months than I've otherwise seen in my whole life.

Mostly would depend on if feeding = killing and/or converting. I would not want to be the start of a vampire epidemic, and I don't want to constantly need to kill people. Otherwise, sounds fine.

Unless you sit around staring at a wall, everyone has some form of hobby. If you are speaking from the perspective of having a useful or cultured hobby, thats just snobbery from people who think their hobbies are better.

Yeah, I can't really think of a character who has done worse and been fully redeemed and accepted into the main cast.

Who lets a child play with a phone? Even if they don't order a couple dozen cheeseburgers, there is so much havoc they could cause.

Is YOWOB an acronym for something?

Or is he

Im not against animal testing, but I dont trust anything funded/owned by Musk to be using the proper standards of care.

I'd probably stay in the same state in the same region, just with a way better house. I can't think of any reason I'd want to go anywhere else.

Pretty sure it's all anime filler. Other than the Buu Saga, I don't think he ever kills anyone after Namek.

If he actually forces it through, I think that'd be the nail in the coffin. People would lose at least 90% of their Twitter exposure, if not more. By the time the first month ends, I'd bet 90% of the people who paid for the first month would cancel after it becomes a wasteland. I see no world where a significant portion of people would even contemplate paying for it. The only way he makes it work is if he somehow kills all competing apps through legal bullshit, but I doubt there'd be anything he could do.
