| Questionmarktarius 09/19/17 12:56:14 PM #36 | DevsBro posted... Which is the same thing, except with a cutscene and maybe also a bossfight tossed in. There's no "tension" in moving a pile of pixels to a predetermined cutscene, nor reloading a save when the boss fight went badly. All "oh no! Antagonist McBadguy got the macguffin first!" does is provide a convenient excuse to build the next dungeon... which I guess is a good thing after all... Dammit! |

If they're so confident it will work, why do they need Federal tax dollars to do it? The money is already there, because the federal government spills it like water. |

| Topic | States rights...unless you're doing liberal commie crap |
| Questionmarktarius 09/19/17 12:27:17 PM #17 | OpheliaAdenade posted... Only reason they're trying so hard to stop it is because they know if it turns out well their goose is cooked. The big republican lie about healthcare will finally die. A state single-payer system milking federal funds is blatantly rigged, though. If, however, it can be proven to work at the current medicaid block-grant amounts, the idea deserves a closer look. |
| Topic | States rights...unless you're doing liberal commie crap |
| Questionmarktarius 09/19/17 12:22:48 PM #13 | If you're giving states a block grant anyway, let the states do whatever the hell they want with it. Or, even better, stop the block grants entirely. If the fifty states can't afford something, it's fantasy to assume that all fifty can somehow. |
| Topic | The government should ban Coca Cola and other soft drinks imo |
| Questionmarktarius 09/19/17 12:15:00 PM #53 | Darklit_Minuet posted... Very soon obesity will reach a critical point where they'll have to find a way to deal with it, so they'll be forced to invent some sort of simple pill that works as a nutritional supplement and melts fat away at an astonishing rate. What? No. The drive will be towards an artificial sweetener that neither tastes weird, nor ends up being even more unhealthy than sugar itself (again). If I had extra investment funds laying around, and any idea what companies to invest in, I'd toss piles of money at L-glucose. |

| Questionmarktarius 09/19/17 11:51:21 AM #30 | ThyCorndog posted... then this is bad, but not as bad as I thought. It might be slightly more "bad", if I understand the Turkish educational system correctly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_Turkey#Vocational_education Looks like it's where the 'fuckups' end up, similar to how 'murica! did it up until the mid 80s or so, but with "Allah" as part of the curriculum for some reason. May be some sort of parochial/charter system involved. |

| Questionmarktarius 09/19/17 11:30:48 AM #63 | Solar_Crimson posted... All that aside, do you really believe that Nintendo cancelled AM2R and then threw together the 3DS remake in less than a year? The only argument against this is the fact that Mercury Steam somehow became competent. |

Better to pay a lawyer 100K than pay the IRS 300K and do some jail time. Or, if you had any fiscal sense whatsoever, just cut the IRS a check and keep better records next time. |

| Questionmarktarius 09/19/17 11:12:23 AM #5 | Textbooks explaining the idea of jihad are being rolled out in Turkey's religious vocational schools, known widely as Imam-Hatip high schools. This is like complaining about a Catholic school. |

And I'm sure there's twice as much at nana's house. Parents still realize that children under a certain age will very quickly destroy expensive electronic doodads. |

| Questionmarktarius 09/19/17 1:44:52 AM #8 | The end result of all of this, is all the "downtown revitalization" projects being abandoned, and office buildings migrating out to the suburbs and outlying areas away from the urban core, as cities decay into more and more Detroits - ironically right as Detroit itself was starting to come back to life. Congratulations. You've sparked a whole 'nother generation of "white flight". |
