One of those things that doesn't really matter in a vacuum, but makes sense why they don't want to host it either.

It would be interesting to see actual data on the subject, if normalization of prostitution leads to a disconnect between how people view it across cultures. I'd assume those are just cherry-picked responses, but you never know until you see broad data.

Mastery of the body should lead to forms of functional immortality eventually.

From what little I've seen of him, nothing makes me think he'd be a creepy Youtuber groomer, but you can never really tell with people whose entire persona is probably largely an act.

I thought they stopped work on DBZA during the Cell Saga?

They've done side content using 3D models and some random clips here and there. They just stopped doing major edited content due to burnout and copyright shit.

God, Live 2D produces some horrid animations. Is that automated, or does someone have to hand-"animate" all that?

I haven't seen anything that matches the utility yet at all. I think it's still going to be a year or two until anything major happens, unless Elon continues on this trend of bungles. Nothing has really happened to cause a mass exodus of the people and companies who matter.

It can definitely be fun in the right kind of game. Prototype with a maxed out character before everything goes to shit is a super fun sandbox to dick around in. Though I had no inclination to actually play the game again beyond that.

It's the truth, but it's not one that anyone needs to vocalize.

I'm curious if this is easy mode relative to the original game, or if this game is going to be more traditionally balanced to make the normal mode actually challenging, relative to the original. The whole damage all the enemies thing would already make the original way easier, so it must be fairly rebalanced for that alone.

Curious if its actually anything credible, or if its just pure nonsense and theyre just using that as an excuse. Death threats are never OK, but theres definitely different levels of response when it comes to Internet culture.

Term limit is total, not successive. Though I wouldn't put it past him to try to go full dictator.

Extraordinarily negligible. Outside of places that are known speed traps, nobody is going to really take heed.

Both sides of the both sides argument can be pointlessly vitriolic about the term. Some people clearly do not use it in good faith. Some people jump at anyone who uses the term due to some weird idea that "both sides" is never a reasonable take.

No, exclusivity is part of monogamy, even if limited to just taking videos and/or pictures. In the case of a former sex worker, it's not an instant no, but it's definitely not a desirable characteristic either.

If its Steve Trevors consciousness, then its currently Steve Trevors body.

If someones body is used without their consent, they were raped. In the case of the movie, both are rapists. In the case of a scenario where the other partner doesnt know about the body swap, the person in the body is the rapist.

You seem to be going by nobody was hurt logic, so instead imagine if the body was put through absolute debauchery of all kind. Then imagine if that was your body. Would you feel violated or not care?

WW84 sucks, but the rape thing is really a bad take.

Nah, it's definitely raping the guy. The fact that he wasn't conscious of it changes nothing.

Having a preference is fine, but there's definitely a small subset of silly elitist snobbery for some weird reason.

WW was fine, something on par with the average Marvel film. 84 was like three different versions of a movie smashed together in post-production to form the shitshow that we got. I enjoyed most of the scenes with the evil guy, but the rest was just a mess.

Mandatory EXP share because they suck at game balance. If they balanced the game and levels around what you'd expect, it wouldn't be an issue.

The dead puppy's name? Albert Einstein.

I believe it starts around Enies Lobby from what I remember. They start doing like literal 7 minute recaps before the episodes start. Then from there, it's kind of up and down depending on the material and how close to the manga they were.

Hecklers suck, but you could easily boot them and snap a picture on the way out instead of being weirdly invasive and controlling.

Usually the purpose is to try to match the lyrics as closely as possible. Though on a rewatch, it seems it might have partly been a syncing issue where everything was a slightly off by like a fraction of a second. Few areas are still off regardless, so seems like a quick shoot without many retakes.

He's clearly strapped for cash but doesn't actually care, going by that horrendous lip-syncing.

FedEx is the fucking worst. Their robo system is borderline passive aggressive and just hangs up on you if you keep asking for a representative because none of the options match what you're calling about.

Really not much that can be done. You'd have needed all countries to go cold turkey pretty much, which was never even a possibility. All we can really hope for is the development of technology that can mitigate or reverse it.

It's always weird when people pretend anything about communism has any sort of validity. There's no doubt there's a better hypothetical system than what we currently have, but it would never be communism in a million years.

It would be kind of funny to see couple dynamic where they call each other dipshit and dumbass as pet names.

Family is definitely a priority over strangers. Whether its a person or an animal, Id feel way more horrible about leaving a loved one to burn to death over some random stranger Ive never met.

Excluding 2 weeks of Covid in 2021, probably been close to ten years without any need to call out.

I think they pretend like they're a cheaper wholesaler, while shoveling out defective shit that doesn't meet QC standards and bootlegs. If it's like other sites like AliExpress, the savy buyer may be able to find a gem of a deal in between mountains of shit, but the time it takes probably isn't worth the small discount you'll get.

Nah, I wasted three years on French in high school with nothing to show for it, so I'm all set. With translators getting better day by day, it'll probably be irrelevant in 5-20 years anyway. I had a semi-coherent conversation with a Japanese artist on Discord a couple months ago via MTL, which is unthinkable with how shitty MTL was five years ago.

so you never watched an episode of one piece ?

OP power scaling is still limited to destroying islands at most, which is easily done by anyone King Piccolo or above in power. OP hasn't even reached upper Naruto level power scaling yet.

Luffy's like 23rd tournament level at most, discounting people blowing up the moon.

There are way, way too many sexualities for this to be an effective solution that doesn't just pigeonhole everyone into "straight, gay, or bi".

For the purpose of roleplaying in a game, you don't really need more than those three and asexual. That would just allow a better baseline for how you're interacting with characters, then you can further define your roleplaying from there. Part of the argument from the guy in the tweet is that his character shouldn't even have the options to have those thoughts in the first place. While he's obviously being stupidly dramatic about it, it's not an unwarranted critique either.

With games giving people more options in the character creator, it probably would make sense to just make sexuality an option you choose up front. It would help with stuff like that one character in BG3 people accidentally kept flirting with because the creators didn't put in enough dialogue options.

I don't find it baffling that someone can be attracted to someone and then have it disappear. I find it baffling that you think a woman turning out to be trans is the primary reason this happens during dates. Its far, far more likely to be caused by someone finding out the other person is poor, poorly endowed, has some kind of health problem, they don't like their politics, they don't like their sexual history, ect. But dating profiles aren't resumes, and aren't expected to have all that information on them, and even you don't think they should look like that. Which makes it very questionable why you think the most important thing a person puts on their dating profile be the thing that will most likely cause them to be a victim of physical violence and doxxing by dangerous and evil people.

Maybe we got off track somewhere, but my point was that matching someone's sexuality is the topmost filter, incomparable to any other characteristic, not that it's particularly common in the dating scene. The point is that it's a big deal, possibly the biggest deal for a lot of people, so acting like it just happens to be one of many possible dealbreakers is a bit silly.

CoyoteTheGreat posted...

Different people place different things at different places on their list. For me, whether a girl is trans or not doesn't make a fucking difference. It is absolutely meaningless because I see trans women as just women. For other men, that might be the most important thing. For other men, maybe the lack of fertility thing is the real deal breaker There are women out there that are okay with trans guys, but will not want to date someone with a micro-penis. There are people out there who a person's sexual history is the most important thing. There are some people who what is in (Or rather, not in) someone's checking account is going to be the deal breaker. You can never know what is going to be the deal breaker unless you sit down talk to someone.

At the end of the day, there is no order of operations here. Different people have different priorities. There are lots of things that you probably should disclose, but that a lot of people won't just put in their profile because they are embarrassing or even just for their personal safety. That's why you know, you have a first date and talk about the things that are important to you.

See, you not having a preference makes me think you simply don't understand how large of a deal it is for many people, which seems to be the biggest disconnect in these discussions. Some people seem to find it baffling that someone can be attracted to someone and have that attraction disappear, but someone's gender identity isn't really relevant to which biological sex someone is comfortable being intimate with.

CoyoteTheGreat posted...

I mean, a guy having a micro-penis would in fact fall under "incompatible plumbing" for most people. And yet strangely no one seems to believe there is an "obligation to inform" there.

It's higher than a lot of things, but still nowhere comparable. When you're at the level of defining someone's sexuality, there's really no higher that you can go.

StealThisSheen posted...

Gotta move that goalpost, eh?

Oh, you're taking the matching plumbing thing more literally than I meant it. I meant more in the sense that people may or may not be into what is or was down there, and that's probably the most important factor for most people.

StealThisSheen posted...

How do you know they didn't? For all you know, they were post op.

I would say whether someone is pre/non-op or post-op is the next preference step after that.

StealThisSheen posted...

Okay, let me put it this way.

Would you say it's also deceptive if a guy doesn't tell a woman he has a tiny dong? That's also a very private matter involving genetilia, right? Should that be something somebody needs to share immediately?

Having compatible plumbing is probably the top factor for pretty much everyone, so I don't think there's any other factor you could possibly compare to it.

Probably not real, but not disclosing that kind of information upfront is a massive waste of time at best. If there's worry about safety, then going on dates with strangers is unwise in the first place.

The only thing I take issue with is stupid labeling of male and female bodies. If you want to completely remove the words male and female, I don't really care, but at least just change it to either a picture of the body type or just make it a two option body type slider. Nobody is going to say, "I picked the Type A body."

It could go several ways depending on how Oda is feeling. Going by sensible power scaling, it should be a tough but not difficult fight, but this is the same man who had Luffy use his greatest form to fuck with Lucci and then proceed to forget about it against the much stronger giant children.

did they cut part of the video out? because I didn't see a shot through the windshield. it looks like they were beside the car

This has better footage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZGydtDx8PY

Watching it from the other cop's angle, he definitely feels too trigger-happy. If the cop on the front had been dead center or a foot back, I'd probably say it'd be justified, but being right on the corner like that makes it feel really silly. Though I'd also be curious how fast she actually accelerated. If it just looks slow because of the video and she actually caused the guy injury, it might be more justified. Either way, I don't see any reason why he should have had his gun drawn at that point.

Powerwash Simulator. If I have access to the in-game physics, definitely easy. If I had to do it with real world physics, doable but that would probably take a decade.
