I don't understand lawns at all.

A garden, sure. That's full of living things. Plants, vegetables, trees, flowers. Gardens are interesting.

But a fucking lawn? What, a 30ft square patch of green nothing that you're supposed to go out and mow every two weeks and if you don't everyone thinks you're a loser. That's fucking stupid.

This whole "left eating itself" nonsense really tickles me. Because democrats can make criticism of other democrats, that's a terrible thing. Better to blindly follow, no matter what. Party before integrity, that's the main thing.

It's less about democrats making criticisms or party integrity. The "left eating the left" meme stems from people who enjoy watching highly judgmental people come under the same unreasonable scrutiny as they hold against others, and watching them get crushed using the tools of their creation. Like having someone who thinks that someone having a right-wing opinion on twitter should get them fired... being fired for something they posted on twitter after a mob goes off on them for saying it.

And yet, here we have a very reasonable exchange that resulted in someone respecting a community's wishes and deciding not to be a hypocrite. But according to TC, that's "the left eating itself".

Your version of events sounds nice in theory but I'm not entirely sure it's accurate.

To consolidate rankings

To eek out more money and entertainment

To give a sense of closure

But primarily money

do people really watch a meaningless consolation game? Shouldn't they be better off just going home?

sorry, but maybe you're right. it's for a financial incentive

On tv probably not, but if you bought a ticket to the World Cup and you had a seat at that game, you'd probably go for the banter.

Reviewers further in the game have said that there is character interaction once you get to character's second chapters. But the same ones weren't far enough along to see how intertwined they get.

I wonder if it's meaningful character interaction and not just gimmicky mentions of other storylines.

I want to love this game but I'll remain cautious for now.

While I dont feel comfortable putting a score on this review until Ive completed the game and seen how (or if) the stories come together

Isn't that one of the main criticisms? There is absolutely nothing tying the stories together, not even any interaction between the different characters, even though they're fighting together. That feels like it would put a huge damper on any enjoyment I get out of playing an individual story.

This would really kill it for me, I feel. One of my favourite things about FFX was the deep bond all the characters had. You could feel this when they initially rejected Tidus because he was too much of an outsider.

Everyone is going to tell you to get the phone they have because it's "the best phone I've ever had" but really it comes down to a few things:

- how much do you wanna spend
- what do you like the look/feel/specs of

Battery life isn't really a problem for many modern smartphones unless you plan on going on 4 day camping trips without backup power or something.

Only advice I'd give you is consider buying a refurb. I did that and saved about $1k compared to a typical "flagship phone + 2 year contract" deal.

So then why was the man continuing to argue?

Because he didn't want to sit down and shut up because he didn't feel he'd have to.

I have before many times, yes.

You're so slick, I'm in awe.

But nah I lack your cool steely unflappability, I'm sorry. In this situation I'd be fucking raging and would raise hell. Genuinely very fucking angry if someone pulled this on me.

Now let me ask you something: Putting aside how you think he should have handled it, why are you not addressing what the cop/property manager was doing? Why can't you appreciate that is the actual issue here and not however calm the guy should have reacted to how he was being treated?

You're so hotheaded you wouldn't be able to have a mature conversation and diffuse the situation?

You might need to work a little bit on yourself.

Diffuse what situation? Once a cop tells you to do something there's no situation to diffuse. You comply or you get in trouble for resisting arrest.

You actually think you're so charming you could talk your way out of this, lmao

Reminder: when someone else is wrong and is demanding you do something you don't have to do, the onus is not on you to not be angry. That's a perfectly acceptable situation to be angry.

Could you show the part in the video where the cop said he, "jumped the fence" like was claimed.

Didn't even watch the video no doubt about that

Yup watched all 2:12 of it. All I saw was a man holding out a random key and becoming increasingly irate instead of speaking with the officer and lady civilly.

I would not be calm if a stranger told me to get off the property I pay rent at either.

But I'm glad to see you tone policing this conversation instead of actually addressing the issue at hand. Clearly the problem here is that he's upset and not that he's being treated wrongfully.

Argentina have not been very good in the World Cup, which is why the 3-0 beating isn't that impressive. Still a great result regardless, but France beating Belgium, Uruguay and Argentina is much more impressive than winning 3 knockout stage matches past full time.

Argentina have vastly underperformed despite their obvious caliber, that is my point. France have been a great team for a long time, they've made that abundant this time around.

It's the big stage but you don't decide a team is trash based on one or two matches.

The entire English team has been all over the place in terms of consistent quality plus tons of luck on their side with the match draws going their favor. Still couldn't beat Croatia lol. I guess France will whip Croatia's butt and take the Cup.

Croatia beat Argentina. Fucking Argentina.

Don't discount them so easily.

Argentina are trash though

And all of these guys are young. They showed a huge amount of inexperience and nerves. For the first time in living memory we'll be going into the next world cup with genuine belief that England can take it.

Weed makes my depression worse I feel.

I agree. If I don't drink beer to bring out the good feelings first then all weed does is amplify my anxiety and insecurities, especially if I'm smoking at parties.

Man this is good to hear, I feel like I'm living in bizarro world when i talk to other smokers. "Weed treats depression" and "don't ever mix weed and alcohol". If I'm honest that's the only way I enjoy it.

I really don't get it, to be honest. Taking offense to the words in the first place is the only thing that's giving them the power to hurt, and the only reason that people continue to use them. You've got to be bigger than the person using them.

I don't think that's true either though. Proponents of a slur also give power to words and use it as a dog whistle to rally other proponents of a slur.

"He's just a muggle, you can disregard any opinion he has." See how power a statement like that has, without the victim adding anything at all.

Anyone who takes offense to words really needs to learn the saying

"Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never harm me"

Shit, I think my grandma taught me that when I was like 3 years old. Maybe it needs to be a "thing" again to toughen up the eggshell princes of 2018?

I don't agree with this either though, for the reasons cavalierking described.

Like I said the only reason I miss it as an insult is because the word was aesthetically pleasing to me.
