Maybe adding the new boss from the switch version if he didnt add that already?

Either get citizenship legally or dont come at all.

Being born in this nation legally makes you a citizen. Period.

And it honestly shouldnt. It only applies to people here on vacation, people here on a visa, or people here illegally. The first two have no need for their kids to have dual citizenship. People here illegally dont need any kind of extended rights like that at all. It would likely lessen their desire to come if they know that any child birthed here would not be granted citizenship without a parent with citizenship.

That seems like a fine move. I understand why it was a thing in the past, but now its simply used as a tool for people who shouldnt be here in the first place. Either get citizenship legally or dont come at all.

It's hypocritical and shortsighted in a lot of cases, but the real problem is the ones who actively protest against anything that has to do with men. Like that men's shelter guy who was bullied so much it partly contributed to his suicide.

Yeah, thats a bit too far. I agree with not catering to the vocal minority, such as being scared to be necessarily violent with a criminal due to possible perceptions on being sexist or racist. I do not think using peaceful methods as a first response when viable is something only SJWs want.

I either go with french or ranch. I haven't found too much more I like.

What is the caravan even doing? Does it seem like they're planning on trying to just come peacefully try to enter via asylum methods, or is it going to be a free for all for them trying to bumrush the border?

What is with our culture and needing to go out of the way to make sure everyone likes everything equally recently? There is a difference between knocking down cultural barriers, sexist/racist stereotypes, etc and simply acknowledging that certain groups like certain things more than others.

A lot of people in here aren't acknowledging how powerful of an effect marketing has on us, especially with the type of marketing video games have gotten for decades. It isn't written into a girl's DNA to like Candy Crush more than Skyrim or something.

There is no such thing as something that is inherently for either sex, but there are things either sex will prefer over the other. CC is obviously going to appeal more to women than men. It doesnt mean all women will like it or that men cannot play it, but it has more elements that will draw women into it for sure.

I mean, I guess if you include mobile.

The distinction is irrelevant. It's the same as when your English teacher sneered at the Harry Potter books that everyone was reading and insisted you read something tedious and boring like The Great Gatsby.

To assume that the audience for gaming PC's and smartphone games is the same may be fallacious, but to assume that the former is inherently more of a gamer than the latter, or to assume that high end Triple-A games are inherently superior to smartphone games is equally fallacious.

It matters when people try to use statistics falsely, like that whole Bully Hunters scam. Separating people into gamers and mobile gamers makes sense regardless of sex anyway considering the environments are so different regardless of time spent.

It depends what theyre talking about. One person spending a half hour per week on a mobile game is no more a gamer than a person who reads a magazine occasionally being an avid reader. If a woman spends twenty hours per week on Candy Crush or FarmVille, thats another thing. That is far beyond casual.

While its certainly not 100% racist-free, the narrative that the US is in any way racist/sexist/ homophobic on an institutional level is pure hyperbole. Youll certainly fine such people taking power here and there, but the institution itself is not.

Yeah, it's one thing to not want kids. It's another to constantly act like you don't want kids because nobody actually wants to even touch you. Anyone who makes their entire like about how much better off they are is in denial.

I don't think there is any evidence to say he holds most of the abhorrent views people attribute to him. People are too quick to exclaim that anyone who disagrees with them is X, that anyone who holds a view that is 1% more right than they would like is X. It's stupid. Trump has done and will do many stupid things. Criticize him on actual reality, not perceived reality.

I have zero interest in kids ever. That is not something I'll ever want in my life, especially someone else's kids.

Guy is a piece of trash. Anyone who yelled at the kid directly is a piece of trash. Hopefully the kids get taken away, else they'll likely grow up to be trash like the parents.

The biggest problem is likely their insane scheduling model of week to week progress and banking the entirety of their profit on overly expensive blueray sales. It seems like that's less viable as time goes on.

I can't believe how many sheep believe the "big sun myth." The sun is only as big as the moon. I mean, how could the moon block out the sun otherwise?

Talk about what? What realistic thing can be done to stop less than 0.001% of the population from being heinous murderers? There are certainly good policies in relation to guns and mental health that can be enacted in general, but the idea that anything can be stopped is silly.

The rest of the civilized world isn't as violent and crazy as us. Clearly something can be done.

We also can't prevent natural disasters, but moving every American onto a fault line would probably be a bad idea. I don't know why people think "X can't be 100% stopped" is a good argument against doing anything at all. No shit bad things will always happen, but less is better than more.

My problem is more with the condescending mentality of the talking points brought up after every attack, as if gun control would have prevented a one-off attack by a nutjob. It's like the whole "save the children" propaganda after that one of the recent school shootings. As I said, there are things that can be enacted to help that can hopefully reduce the chances as much as possible without taking away the rights of people. These issues need to be framed in the right way, or all they do is come off as thoughtless talking points fueled by nothing but emotional outrage.

Money. I couldn't care less about the process of legalization.

Money. There is too much bullshit that could come from the power.

The fact that it's plausible despite being fake is the scary part about the industry right now. How are all these people so disconnected from the fans? What's with this idea that all fans are women hating neckbeard incels just because people hate overly progressive bunk being put into some games?

Or the time he patted her pussy to see if she was a girl or not?

I'm pretty sure that was Chi-Chi.

It was both of them, an old lady, Oolong, and maybe a couple others.

I hate digital only stuff. There's no guarantee to it. Once the platform is no longer supported, anything you bought is gone forever if the platform you have it on dies. Physical media can degrade, but it will outlast this short 10-15 year cycle for sure.

Mental health focus and some kind of media ban on talking about the perpetrators so we stop glorifying and worshiping them. Any high profile shooter basically needs their entire life dissected to the point where the average person knows more about them than their grandma.

It's fun, but broken and janky. Honestly, changing Kongs with the press of a button would solve the biggest problem. If remade with some updated mechanics, it could probably stand up there with the greatest.

Probably would depend if it was forceful or "honk honk". I'd probably attempt to throw someone of their gender to the ground if they were truly aggressive about it. Otherwise, I'd probably call the cops if she feels aggrieved. If it's simply uncomfortable but not 911 worthy to her, probably leave and only call the cops if the aggressor continues.

Nothing wrong with trans people. Im just not 100% on board with the idea that people are what they say they are. They are a biological X living as a Y. They will never cease being trans, and that label of trans needs to be used in most situations outside of casual discussion. It means there are a some things they should not be able to do that a real man/woman can do. I feel like in some circumstances society is trying to go beyond do not discriminate against people to redefine reality to avoid offending people. Then beyond that you have the really fringe crazy its transphobic to not want to date a trans person people who pop up occasionally.

Would any of you go to a majority black party with blackface on?

There is a difference between thinking its dumb that an act is reviled because of a long held but irrelevant social stigma and the understanding that a grand majority of people still hold tightly to that stigma.

who decides that it's irrelevant?

should people from outside of a culture and lack true understanding be setting standards for that culture?

How many people alive do you think have seen a live minstrel show? How often do you see mocking black face in any media?

Its objectively not inherently racist. That is a fact. Eventually, people need to get over shit. The past has to be the past. Anyone can be offended over anything they want, but the idea of something being eternally offensive is dumb.

No reason it shouldnt be. Genitals should always be socially taboo, but nipples are not a big deal.

Im fine with accepting whatever quota the country accepts on a yearly basis. There is a limit, so its not like every person is going to get in.

Yeah, just a single ticket.

It's this idea that every field ever needs to reflect the population. These people ignore that others have interests in different things. Now, it's certainly good to remove barriers and stigmas for certain groups. I have no doubt there have been women over the years who avoided tech jobs because of such things, and I'm sure there are certain people who have refused to hire women for such things. If those can be fixed to the best of our ability, that's a good thing. There's no way to fix it 100% without thought control, but reducing the number as much as possible is good.

The problem comes when certain groups try to act like it's a huge problem to the point that it's keeping all the people out., that it explains every discrepancy despite data showing otherwise You can tell they're not honest at all because they'd never campaign for more women trash collectors. They'd never campaign for more male childcare workers. All they want is the high paying jobs for some kind of self-identity crisis where all they can do is identify themselves by the group they fit into rather than their individual merits.

The idea that it's inherently racist is stupid because the only reason it's seen as racist is due to minstrel shows. It certainly holds the capacity to turn into a racist act regardless of that history, but there is nothing inherently racist about that. Anything can be racist given context. Intent matters. Cultural understanding matters. There's a point where people have to get over it for things to move on.

If someone does a clear minstrel show style blackface, call them out and label them as racist. If someone does very ignorant blackface based on extreme stereotypes but not maliciously, call them out and educate them. If someone does a professional makeup job and acts very respectfully, get over yourself.

I do not think Trump is a moral paragon or even a very decent person, but why do people need to throw around all these labels like he's actually Hitler? Just use actual facts to criticize him. Those are enough.

The concept of encouraging people enough to stand up and speak out is a good thing. The aftermath of rabid people calling for each and every case to be instantly crucified regardless of merit and the actions of companies kowtowing to such people is a bad thing. Being open minded to accusations is fine, but believing things despite them seeming fake or condemning stuff that's not actual harassment (i.e. a bad date or a controlling but consensual relationship) is the problem.

They obviously shouldn't be discriminated against for just living their lives, but society also shouldn't need to bend over backwards to change reality for them either. I think the majority of the pushy people are just "activists" who have decided to speak on the behalf of minority groups.

Good thing is that they'll never live it down among people they know at least.

If they're seeking asylum for credible reasons and we have capacity, take as many in as allowed on a yearly basis. If they do not have credible reasons, turn them away like everyone else. If the US has already filled a quarterly/yearly quota, they're out of luck. We cannot help everyone in the world. Some people will unfortunately always suffer. I'd honestly rather money and resources go to helping improve their home countries to the point where they're livable enough for them to want to stay and fix the broken system they were born into.

Not really. It looks aesthetically pleasing, but it's sort of lacking in charm I guess. I don't really know why though.

Yeah, I couldn't do it. I just don't see it at all meshing with the kind of person I want to be with. It's not a 100% impossible, but I'd always be super prejudiced about it.

Both are solid. The only thing bad about Undertale is that it really appealed to the Tumblr crowd, and that instantly toxifies a fanbase.

Every time I see this abbreviation my mind goes right to R2D2 for some reason and the context always confuses me.

I bought it when it was still just the original startup website, but I probably only put a few hours into it. Didn't really feel it. The crafting system was a turn off.

I feel like the reveal would have been better if they hadn't made him so falsely oblivious earlier in the game.
