Anyone happen to know how many posts it got before it was axed? I won't ask for the content of the posts since that would probably get this topic modded too, but I am interested in the number.

Unfortunately I made it on my lunch break and forgot about until I got home a minute ago, pretty disappointed the mods are still shutting down legitimate conversations but whatever I guess.

Given how common it has become for guys to get their lives destroyed because the woman retroactively retracted their consent, sometimes years later, and the courts heavily favoring their account regardless of the lack of any hard evidence.

So short of having a signed and notarized contract how is a guy supposed to protect himself? Would secretly video taping work? As long as the tapes were never used outside of a potential court case to confirm your innocence and show the lies of the other party I don't see the issue myself.

So you don't believe in courts of law and innocent until proven guilty, got it.

Reading comprehension bro. If I go out right now and steal something I'm a criminal point blank period. Doesn't matter if I get caught, if I get arrested and convicted, or if I have people look the other way for me and ignore my blatant law breaking, I'm still a criminal.

Name just one crime Hillary has ever been convicted of. Hell, if you can't name one of those, name one crime she's ever been tried in court for (criminal case, not civil).

I've never had any issue with people having piercings. Providing they provide no risk I don't see the problem.

The issue is they're trashy 99.9% of the time just like tattoos.

I think its dumb to act like there is only two stages of human life:

It's nearly as dumb to say there are only three stages too. When exactly on your scale does a child become a teen and when exactly does a teen become an adult? Age is literally just a number, nothing but the roughest estimations about a person's intelligence, morals, or accountability can be gleaned from knowing their age.

Dividing the court system and many other laws and systems by age is arbitrary and even if they won't admit it openly most everyone involved with law understands this. But that doesn't mean it isn't important to have something on the books anyways.

We need more women like this in gaming. Realistic women. Badasses who don't need to be sexualized.

Wow, way to body shame attractive women. There's nothing stopping a woman from being good looking and badass at the same time.

As a side note it seems weird that so few of the people who complain about demographics in video games have the ability, motivation, and fortitude to make their vision a reality unlike the people they constantly complain about and try to manipulate.

This seems like a complete non issue as far as DLC implementation goes, certainly not any worse than your average game.

Also it isn't even a microtransaction from the sounds of it but an expansion. I was expecting something like an "arcade" feature that forced you to spend a small amount of money per life in a difficult area.

Anyways figure I should answer the question since I posted so many times already. I'm not currently on the market but while there are a few certain races/ethnicities/whatevers that I typically don't find attractive I wouldn't let that get in the way if her personality was what I'm looking for.

There have never been races

I stand by my statement that race and ethnicity alone does not differentiate one person from another

can coexist?

Fine I guess but maybe don't try to use your delusions to take a moral high ground in the future, since here on Earth trying to say that race isn't real will do nothing but show people you can't be taken seriously.

wolfy42 posted...

There is no better or worse race,

...Where did anyone say otherwise? Or that people shouldn't be treated the same? Acknowledging the basic fact that there are different races does not necessitate that any race is better or worse than any other race. Several times people have acted like there was some racist agenda tied to the word race, and yet those very same people are the only ones bringing up racism at all. Really makes one think, huh?

Ethnicity isnt the same word as race

Oh so we can say there are different ethnicities but not races? Even if you want to erroneously argue that race isn't a "real" thing you would still have to admit that the "fake" concept is analogous to the acceptable and very obviously real concept of ethnicity. Considering anyone with two brain cells to rub together could tell thats what TC meant, what has been the point of this self righteous stance you lot are taking?

Because most don't feel the responsibility that would make one want to end something properly even when an easier but morally bankrupt approach is available. Most justify it with selfish drivel like "oh well I didn't owe him anything, so it's fine" disregarding the fact that basic common courtesy would dictate that they at least give a short final message. This type of attitude will, and already is having severe effects on the coming generations and will probably only get worse.

I would recommend staying on your hometown, but maybe traveling more. You have security there, but can still see more of the world. Especially with cheap rent there. And this could hurt financially. Depending on an SO, if you decide to get romantically involved with anyone, they could help or hurt the situation... I would say, at the very least, visit like nogaems said. But I would say to save up money while there, an just travel... maybe...

Thank you for the advice, I'll stop letting my imagination run wild now and focus more on the realistic side of things. Traveling is an idea since I've never gone more than 150 miles or so from this town. I don't really have much time to do so though... Ahh I feel like if I put this off I'll look up and another couple of years will have passed but I shouldn't rush things.

Really it all depends on where you would move to. wolfy is talking exclusively about living in or close to the a city.

I wouldn't want to live in a big city, a small to mid sized town is more my speed, but that might also make it harder to find a job quickly wherever I end up.

wolfy42 posted...

Ouch! May I ask why you are considering moving here?

Well honestly I want to move just in general. Like I've spent the last couple years living with a friend (so my current rent is even lower than the average I listed) and I feel like it's time for me to get my own place. At the same time I feel like I've been stagnating for other reasons and if I stay in my hometown forever nothing will change. So I want to at least move out of state, and Washington caught my eye since it's literally the farthest I can get away from this place in the continental U.S. After looking up some basic stuff like the climate, geography, and amenities I thought it seemed like a cool, almost "romantic" sort of place for me to try and adapt to.

Maybe I should look at things from a more practical approach though...

Well I worked in a bakery for a few years and worked my way up from $8.50 to $14, but now I'm at a distribution warehouse that started me at $12 and caps around $15 I think. I wouldn't consider either job to be really be skilled and I don't have a degree in anything so realistically I would probably only be able to get a minimum wage job to start off.

Oh and for reference the average rent for a decent apartment around here is $450-$650, I've seen small homes go for around that too. The only places that would be a grand or more would be the newly built condos in the heart of downtown probably.

Bada-bump. I actually really am interested in moving and Washington seems like a good pick, although maybe there really aren't that many people here who know much about it.

Prices are fairly high, food sucks over all, but there are worse places to live.

The prices were the one thing I was worried about, since my region of Indiana is known as one of the cheapest places to live in the country. The minimum wage here is $7.25 and in Washington it's $12 so it's basically a given that everything would be more expensive but... I make about $13.50 at my current job, not sure how that would "translate" over, like I doubt I could find a job that paid $20 an hour out there with my resume.

If I moved there it definitely wouldn't be to Seattle, although I would want to be relatively close to the ocean.

Whether or not shes used the word before is entirely irrelevant if shes always used it under similar circumstances, i.e. always without malice.

The fact that you can't even point out certain biological facts these days (and on this very site) without some people screaming for your head should show you we're beyond the point as a society where the intention of a speaker is more important than the fragile feelings of a tiny percent of the population.

16 is the age of consent in Pennsylvania, and beyond that pedophilia refers to atteaction to prepubescents. This "corruption of minors" talk sounds like the outdated, prudish nonsense you would expect from a place like that, ironic considering people there still worship Jerry Sandusky lol. I wouldn't be surprised if they still had "sodomy" outlawed on the books.

Although federal law state that illicit photos of anyone under 18 are a no-no, even if a 16 year old being in a gangbang is perfectly fine like it is in my state, so they made a mistake there.

lolwut? Why you would you include a version that has more effort than HGSS?

You must actually be high. These are quotes from interviews on the development of HGSS and one from ORAS.

Iwata: So it's not simply a remake of Pokmon Gold and Pokmon Silver?
Ishihara: We were very greedy with the features we put in.
Morimoto: Yes, we were incredibly greedy with the features this time round! (laughs) We basically included all the game elements that had been in Pokmon Diamond and Pokmon Pearl and Pokmon Platinum Version.
Iwata: Features that weren't in Pokmon Gold and Pokmon Silver?
Morimoto:That's right. It's just as if we've taken a selection of the best features of the series on Nintendo DS.
Iwata: And in addition, you've also added the Pokwalker accessory.
Morimoto: That's why we had to make rather severe demands on our staff, which is something I hope to improve on in future.

Interviewer: Why wasn't the Battle Frontier in the remakes?
Masuda: This question is connected with my previous answer. We didn't put the BF in ORAS for this very reason.
Interviewer's note: In short he means that they didn't include the BF because only a very small part of the players would have fully appreciated and made use of this feature; nowadays players get bored and frustrated more easily and they aren't interested in things that are so demanding/challenging.

GameFreak has been phoning it in since around the time of ORAS, or maybe even X and Y although they have a semi-valid excuse for why those game were so lack luster. HGSS was the right way to do a remake, while ORAS is an abomination, and I say that as someone who dislikes Gen2 and loves Gen3.

By now they fully realize they can put in a minuscule amount of effort for profits that most dev teams could only dream of. The success of S/S will prove they can strip out part of the very core of the franchise while lying about the reasoning and the majority of their fanbase will still pay a 50% higher price anyways, yes I mad.

Got a call from my grandma and apparently her and my aunt decided to put down my old cat Socks (his back feet were all white) because they took him to the vet and found out he was diabetic.

My roommate put down his dog about a year ago but that I agreed with that since she was so old she could hardly stand and keep pissing wherever she laid, it was gross. My buddy though, he still had a few years in him, he was just "inconvenient" so they threw him out like trash. Sheesh.

Dogs can not comprehend the philosophical concept of good and evil.

Somebody hasn't read The Republic.

On topic, yeah nah, dog breeds naturally have different temperaments just as much as they have different proportions and looks. This is, or should be common knowledge. There's a reason certain types of people gravitate towards certain types of dogs, because of said temperaments.

Obviously that doesn't mean every pit is "bad" (bad being relative to what most would want from household dog in the modern age, like not mauling random kids) but their nature definitely plays a part in combination with the types who typically own them in why so many are violent.

That just discourages them from admitting to their desires and seeking help overcoming them

Now wait a second, if pedophilia is harmless then why should they "admit their desires" and seek help like it's something wrong or shameful? Why shouldn't they proudly accept who they are and ignore the judgmental bigots who speak against them and refuse to accept them?

That's like saying if someone thinks their trans duck, you let them go live in a lake with ducks. This isn't a political issue on someone being transgender, which has it's own issues but I can accept that. But believing you shouldn't have eyes, hearing, a limb, fingers, etc is just bullocks. I can never support this or accept that people should just mutilate themselves because we dont know what's wrong with them.

You realize you're saying the exact same thing that people said about transgender people prior to it becoming popular to support them right? Not even saying you're in the wrong or anything, just pointing that out.

If in twenty years people are coming out as "transracial" or "transage" or whatever else and it's seen as normal and people who thought it was ridiculous back in the dark ages of 2019 are seen as bigots it won't surprise me a bit.
