| Topic | How is it that 20 years later, The Legend of Dragoon board is still active? |
| streamofthesky 07/26/19 4:15:13 PM #14 | Taily_Po posted... Judgmenl posted...The Legend of Dragoon was a very mediocre PS1 JRPG, Really? I thought it had a great story, and that was one of its best features for me. Maybe similar plots have been done a lot since then, but it was pretty fresh at the time. Spoilers, just in case... Then Dart, who starts off seeming like a generic RPG hero, has the big character growth moment of forgiving her and letting his desire for vengeance subside. Plus he actually admits his feelings for the love interest halfway through the game and becomes a couple w/ her, which is STILL refreshing even in current games. Plus the realization of just how much of a crapsack world they live in, slated by their own creator for destruction...done to death since then, but pretty fresh at the time. |

| streamofthesky 07/26/19 11:01:20 AM #18 | I like going grocery shopping at night, not a morning person at all, and I hate being there when the crowds are there. But man, last weekend I went pretty late even by my standards, like I started at 8:30 pm... And there were so many people out grocery shopping Everyone's trying to get their frozen shit home w/o it melting. hopefully this weekend will be back to normal. |

| streamofthesky 07/26/19 1:36:24 AM #8 | No BUT...In the opposite case, where the woman wants the kid and the dad does not, he shouldn't be forced to be responsible for it, financially and in all other ways. Currently, abortion law is unbalanced and sexist. Nobody should be forced to support a child if they don't want to have one, man or woman. |

| Topic | Muller to Congress: Trump's Wrong, I didn't exonerate him |
| streamofthesky 07/24/19 5:33:26 PM #5 | Not as strong a question as I'd have liked, but bonus points for it coming from a Republican who thought it would bolster Trump, cuz... lol The Dems should get Mueller's view on the five year statute of limitations then. In plenty of cases with such SoL laws, it can be "frozen" for a period of time if it's impossible to actually charge the alleged criminal. Considering a lot of the evidence dates to 2016 and if they wait till he leaves office in Jan 2021 (I hope...), it may well already be too late by then to get a court case through before that 5 year mark hits. |
| Topic | Muller to Congress: Trump's Wrong, I didn't exonerate him |
| streamofthesky 07/24/19 5:23:08 PM #3 | Did Mueller at least answer, in plain and simple English, that "yes, in my professional opinion there was enough evidence to justify an indictment" and that "the only reason I did not recommend to indict Trump is because the Dept. of Justice doesn't allow a sitting president to be indicted"? He already said so in his report, but said it in such a round about and verbose way that those basic facts seem to be ignored or claimed as false. Getting him to say it, clear cut, was kind of super important. Bonus points if they got him to state on the record that the Dept. of Justice's policy to not indict a sitting president has never actually been tested in a court of law to see if it is actually correct legal principle. (Because even beyond Trump, that policy is fucking bs and basically puts the president above the law, and I'd like to see more acknowledgement that it's not some ironclad rule coded into the actual law) |
| Topic | Woman smashes a LAPTOP over her BF's Head AND calls the N WORD!!! |
| streamofthesky 07/24/19 2:55:03 AM #3 | If the aggressor was the BF and the victim was the GF: 1. The flight crew would have intervened sooner 2. The second the BF got physical by slapping the GF, his ass would be off that plane, he'd never get a chance to casually take another dash at his GF to bash her head w/ a laptop like in this story 3. The flight crew NEVER would've tried to force the victim to leave the plane, too #Equality |
| Topic | Which of these movies are you most excited for? |
| streamofthesky 07/23/19 10:11:15 PM #14 | I would've been extremely excited about a solo Black Widow movie and/or finally getting the real Mandarin on screen, since he's one of my favorite villains in comics. But Endgame ruined my excitement for both things completely and utterly. I don't give a shit about either movie now. Prior to it? I'd be hyped! Not now... |

| Topic | Do you like wearing flipflops or sandals? |
| streamofthesky 07/22/19 5:15:37 PM #19 | If I could I'd wear my sports sandals (or river sandals, or various other names I've seen for them) nearly year round. And yeah, in the winter I wear them w/ socks. Only times I don't wear them when I have the option to do so is if it's a) snowy/icy; b) below 30 degrees F; or c) both wet/raining and below ~ 55 degrees F (and if it is above that temp and wet, I actually prefer the sandals....feet are easy to dry off, socks and sneakers are not) |
| Topic | Which is better for profit? War or Peace? |
| streamofthesky 07/22/19 1:35:06 AM #9 | Zeus posted... Peace, obviously. War only benefits a small number of sectors while disrupting supply and interfering with the customer-base. Capitalism has been the most democratizing force in the world largely *because* it's more profitable to do business with other nations than to fight them. Capitalism and democracy are not the same thing, or even in the same category. One is an economic system and the other a form of governance. Russia and China have capitalist economies, the latter being rather successful at it, and are not democracies. |
| Topic | Which is better for profit? War or Peace? |
| streamofthesky 07/22/19 1:15:16 AM #4 | Peace is better, for the overall economy. But war is very very lucrative for specific portions of the economy. |

| streamofthesky 07/21/19 6:49:46 PM #5 | Unhappily Ever After: Tiffany finally is going off to Harvard and Jack and Mr. Floppy have a touching final arc, ending in them singing the original theme song of the show. Outsourced: Though I wish it lasted longer than 1 season, at least they seemed to have some forewarning it wouldn't be renewed and closed as many loose threads as they could. Rajiv's wedding was a good place to end things in general. Burn Notice: Not sure it should count, because things kinda went off the rails a bit in the last two seasons as a whole, but the final episode closed things out really well. Hmm...most of my favorite shows had fairly abrupt (Special Unit 2, Human Weapon, Mortal Kombat Conquest) or poorly done (Chuck) endings, now that I think about it. |
| Topic | Dreamcast vs. X-Box (original) vs. Wii U |
| streamofthesky 07/21/19 12:57:18 PM #15 | Wii U > Dreamcast > Xbox Two systems that had great games and were killed off way too quickly vs. one that should've had the plug pulled on it yet it limped along for the entire gen. LinkPizza posted... SkynyrdRocker posted...I never had a Dreamcast or Xbox. The Wii U is a criminally underrated system. I had a great time with it, it was the last console to offer free online, and virtual console (with N64 games!) is way better than a bunch of NES games no one cares about. If they had marketed it better, and if the default controller hadn't been an uncomfortable lump, it could've been very successful. I didn't like it, but the Pro controller was fairly affordable and excellent both in design/form and battery life, so I didn't care. I did like having 2 player games have the 2nd on the pad, split screen is just terrible, especially when games divide it into left/right instead of top/bottom. |

Yeah the ten rings in the title is a dead giveaway that itll be mandarin related The Ten Rings part is why I automatically thought it had The Mandarin, yeah. But apparently he's going to be spoiler?

Was hoping they were FINALLY introducing The Mandarin, but...nope. Seems to be completely unrelated. I guess now it would be rather pointless to introduce him, since Might see the Black Widow movie though again, the timing of it is pretty terrible for....reasons. I always unironically liked Hawkeye, but not getting some Disney streaming service just for that show. |

That or vote stuffing I'd like to think N64 early on had the vote stuffing and thus jumped to such a big lead. Only way I could explain how it was winning so much initially. Finally, enough people on the site noticed this poll to counteract the vote stuffing....for now. |

She claimed she was dumped for one of her tweets in 2018 when it was World Hijab Day she opted not to try on the hijab who said "So you're telling me that it's now just a fashion accessory and not a religious thing? Or are you just trying ot get women used to being oppressed under Islam?" WTF? Why the fuck is this even a thing?! Keebs05 posted... She has a habit of making a good point and then falling apart. She's a beauty contestant. Your expectations on her ability to argue about politics and policy should be set low. Honestly, just getting halfway to a good point sets her above most of her peers... Keebs05 posted... "Or are you just trying ot get women used to being oppressed under Islam?" They exist to oppress Muslim women. To cover them up so the men, who "can't control themselves" if they see female skin, can take it easy. In a country ruled with Sharia law, it's not even a "choice" if a woman wants to wear it. She was totally right. |

Would be fine voting for him in 2020 if he had any chance of winning the Republican ticket, which he doesn't. Won't vote 3rd party this time though, even though my state isn't a swing state and my vote doesn't matter. If Trump's the nominee, voting straight Democrat for the first time in my life, just to send a message. "What is, contributing to society'?" They were talking about a totally different topic, then Joe jumped to that and it confused Gary for a moment. But keep supporting Trump, who has a more embarrassing sound bite or tweet than that every single day. He has "the best words", after all. Such a "stable genius" |

| Topic | I miss John McCain. |
| streamofthesky 07/19/19 9:50:12 PM #9 | Ross Perot passed away two weeks ago. I barely knew anything about him at the time, other than the Halloween Simpsons episode where he destroys his hat when people say they have no real choice but to vote for the two aliens. But reading up on him, he seemed like a pretty incredible guy. Pulling 19% of the votes in a modern election as a third party is insane, and his rhetoric about our trade imbalance and rising debt was prescient and still ignored. Plus, from the anecdotes I've read, he was, like McCain, very civil and respectful to people w/ different political views and did a lot to help veterans. Figured I'd just mention him here, since it's the same sentiment as I had for McCain, and unfortunately it seems like no one else is gonna mention Perot. |
| Topic | American who Decapitated a Chinese Girl is SPARED DEATH and he SMILES IN COURT! |
| streamofthesky 07/19/19 2:33:04 PM #15 | ClarkDuke posted... Blighboy posted...I believe he didn't want to reveal the location of the body because it could potentially be used as evidence that he raped or tortured her, which would then lead to a death penalty. Even if that is the case: 1. Why should he then be rewarded for his actions with the lesser sentence? What murderer would ever say where the body could be found if withholding that information results in a guaranteed lesser sentence? He was already up for the death penalty potentially. If you think he's keeping the body's location a secret b/c it's that bad, all the more reason to throw the fucking book at the monster. 2. Even after the sentencing was over and he was no longer at risk of being sentenced to death, he wouldn't reveal the location. Perhaps he's just an incredibly evil person, and the jury fucked this one up? |

| streamofthesky 07/19/19 12:49:54 AM #21 | Between NY passing that law to let Congress access his tax records to the Epstein thing to North Korea talking about resuming nuclear testing to the massively ballooning deficit due to his tax cuts for the rich, Trump basically wants the media and Dems in Congress focused on.... not those things. He's done this shit plenty of times before. It never fails. If news is gonna be especially bad for him, he goes to the well and says something racist. Then what happens? Everyone's distracted talking about that for the next week or two. He loses absolutely nothing from it, anybody who'd be appalled by him being racist ceased supporting him years ago (he literally opened his presidential campaign by calling Mexicans tapists*) anyway, and it actually excites and energizes his base. *On fascist gamefaqs, I'm not allowed to ever use the magic r-word |

If he's being disruptive enough that it interferes with their ability to hold the protest, he could be obstructing their first amendment rights. So it could be a fair thing to charge him with. |
| Topic | 4chan User who wore GORILLA MASK to TAUNT BLM WINS Case cause RACISM IS LEGAL!!! |
| streamofthesky 07/18/19 10:46:32 PM #3 | Yeah...he's a racist and an ass hole, but what he did isn't illegal. Well, aside from the disrupting the meeting / disorderly conduct charge, I guess. Now, if what he did enraged someone else enough that they struck him, I'd say he was intentionally trying to provoke people and probably let the attacker off with a very light sentence. But it didn't sound like he was intimidating or threatening the safety of anyone, so in itself not a crime. |

Her boyfriend, Xiaolin Hou testified that their family's only hope was to have her body found so they can bury her but Christensen smirked and REFUSED to tell them That shit shouldn't even matter. Jeffrey Dahmer and Ted Bundy were pretty charming gents too, apparently. So fucking what? I honestly don't know how the victim's family could tolerate listening to these bastards praising the murderer like that. |

| streamofthesky 07/18/19 7:29:41 PM #3 | It's already bad enough that an old murderer (or one who just took a couple of decades to catch) got to enjoy his youth in freedom AND effectively has a much shorter jail term w/ a life sentence AND gets guaranteed free medical care at the age he will most need it That's already not enough, now they have to give a "get out of jail free pass" just b/c someone's old, too? Also, Full Throttle posted... In 1979, he stabbed his wife 14 times in front of his DAUGHTER and was released in 2004 but went back to Jail in 2010 for ASSAULTING another woman!!

| streamofthesky 07/18/19 3:07:50 AM #18 | To be fair, Zeus has consistently been anti- death penalty in every relevant topic I can recall. I disagree w/ him, but can respect his view. But his assertion that the death penalty is more merciful than being held in prison is fucking laughable. He'll never admit he's wrong on anything, so I'm happy w/ just getting him to prove my point so easily. |
