I don't speak for other people, but I don't think pro-life people are evil, I believe them when they say they believe abortion is murder, I have no problem considering a fetus a human being, I recognize that a human being's life ends because of abortion, and that does not cause any problem for my position.

Is it a self-defense angle, or more of a eugenics angle?

obviously, these people think you are murdering a baby.

Its pretty crazy how people cant seem to fathom this basic fact.

Hey look Karl said something dumb that misses the point.

New and exciting stuff itt.

I didn't miss anything. Abortion is killing a life. That life will turn into a full fledged human being if not for that abortion. The intentional killing of a human being is illegal. You people are the ones missing the point.

The reason that this debate never goes anywhere is because those in favor of abortion being preserved do not believe you. They do not believe pro-life advocates when they say that they believe abortion is murder and that is why they are against it. Rather, the pro-choice side believes that the pro-life side hates women, wants to eventually remove their right to vote and turn them into breeding stock.

The pro-life side has their credibility damaged because many people who are pro-life also support politicians who do not support a number of other social and welfare issues, so the pro-choice side believes their credibility is garbage.

The pro-choice side has their credibility damaged because they dont adequately address the argument that abortion is ending a human life, and typically devolve into regurgitating claims about clumps of cells and how a fetus is not a person, with complete disregard about how complicated of a question they are brushing off.

Theres never going to be an adequate resolution to this debate because both sides believe the other is evil and arguing in bad faith. Either you recognize that, or you believe the side opposed to you is evil. The only other possible stance is complete ignorance and apathy.

That a whole lotta assumption and putting words in peoples mouths en masse dude.

Yeah, I do that. Its not a problem. Do you have any specific critiques of my analysis?

Here's a list of all 50 states and their average IQ. Alabama is in the double digits and is one of the bottom 5 dumbest states.

https://www.inc.com/bill-murphy-jr/we-compared-average-iq-score-in-all-50-states-results-are-eye-opening.html

That's not even surprising.

Alabama (and most of the south) tends to exalt ignorance.

You guys need to be careful with that kind of rhetoric. Theres another group that loves to bring up average IQ scores.

Yeah, the Shae attacking him first bit was an invention of the show. In the book he saw her and just lost it.

How did you break a juul. Ive seen a car run over one and it still worked. Although if you drop them in water they are dead.

Im usually inside them when that happens. I dont think Ive ever had a dream that Im holding a controller and playing a game.

Actually, sometimes I dream Im playing a game, but the controller is the female form. All kinds of strange control layouts. Those dreams usually end abruptly with a smack from the half asleep wifey.

After seeing their reactions Im starting to like this episode more.

I need to see more videos of these tool bags being upset.

Parts of it dont make any sense and they seem to have this strange compulsion to answer questions that nobody asked, but overall it isnt a waste of time. I mean, you cant really speak on the degradation of the franchise without that reference point.

I have a feeling that Bidens fantasy land would make me very uncomfortable.

Well, my best friend is my brother so...

Garbage. I counted three points made that only real fans would see.

The braids. Yeah I dont think there was any thought put into her hair other than make her look like she going all crazy. However, I DID notice that the Dothraki that were still alive to attack Kings landing still had their braids. They would have cut those off after such an overwhelming defeat at winter fell.

Second point simply is not a thing. Characters said they were going to invade Westeros and now they did. Wow how did I miss that.

Third point about her vision in the house of the undying. It was snow. Oh maybe it was ash now! No. It was snow.

How does their orientation factor into this at all?

You just deal with the fact that you're going to be attracted to other people in life.

Yeah this is what I'm doing. I'd say it's more than mere attraction and more like connection. But yeah.

Are they taller than your significant other?

I bet those people see some shit. Youre probably just a statistic to them.
How did it go today Mitch?
I had four jackers and and a couple plugs. Pretty slow day.

I'm not really against naming kids after fictional characters as long as the name itself isn't too silly or out there.

I think it's fine Robin Williams named his daughter Zelda for example.

That was a name long before the game.

Khaleesi is ranked 549th most popular name for girls born in 2018.

It isnt surprising.

Think of politics as a gas station. They have Budweiser, bud light, miller light, natural light. Then one day they also get in a hip local craft beer. A bunch of people start buying it. It sells pretty well, but not as good as the generic shit beer. Then the gas station gets in half a dozen other craft beers. Suddenly, that first local brew isnt selling nearly as well.

Thats whats going on here.

That would be pretty great. Im always interested in more data. Im off the market so I wouldnt be using it in the traditional sense, but I think I could still find a way to use it for good.

Just keep it in your pants. If you find yourself being unable to, you are not in a committed relationship.

Feels happen. Doesnt mean theyve gotta progress to Reals.

No I dont think they can.

It could be interesting if there was one competitor from each state.

What an uninspired name, though.

So brief last episode summary then prediction for the ending that makes sense

Lots of people died but it wasnt very cool. Cersei and Jamie hug and get crushed. Woo. Baldy gets burnt. Kinda cool. Guy afraid of fire tackles that line backer out of the tower. Meh.

We all know how this should end next episode. Someone kills dragon lady probably Arya cause gotta pander to the fans. John snow doesnt wanna rule cause hes a sissy so instead jts a family triforce where him arya and sanza all rule the iron throne as a weird family triangle. Then they raise swords and declare triforce and the show ends and a Nintendo logo mcomes on screen.

You know... Aegon the Conquerer was married to his two sisters. Granted, Arya and Sansa are his cousins, but...

That would be a bold move. Freak a lot of people out and subvert expectations.

Approved.

Nope. All indications that she was going all mad queen was shoved into two episodes. None of her actions leading up to that point indicated she would slaughter thousands of innocent people.

She was always wildly emotional, obsessed with power, and ruled with fear. Did you not notice? Or were you blinded by her desire to at least try to be a good ruler?

When has Dany ever attacked random innocent people?

Even while she was obsessed with power, she was always in full control of herself and her faculties, and most of the things people cite as her hinting toward madness, were actually conscious decisions she made and things she did to her actual enemies.

NOTHING that has ever happened in the show has shown Dany being capable of going out of her way to systematically commit genocide against tens of thousands innocent civilians including women and children.

Precisely. Even if after the battle she had lined up the entire Lannister army, all the nobles that supported them, the golden company and all the surviving iron fleet and roasted them all, that would be consistent with her character, and still probably would have been enough for Jon snow to be all like, nope this is too much and slay the queen.

But what she did was completely out of left field. They had to rush the descent into madness, and they had to make it so obvious for people so there wouldnt be any dany did nothing wrong hate.

These topics are so fucking stupid.

It should always be in the format of, how much would you need to be paid to do x.

Then everyone would come in and make their bids. Hilarity and discussion ensues.

Id do it for three grand.

I can't imagine aspiring to be a journalist, but all you do is scroll through social media looking for mundane shit to turn into flashy headlines.

That is the state of modern journalism.

I like when they chop them up and put it in chronological order.

The journey for Theon is to make you hate him. Make you think, fuck that guy, I dont care what happens to him. And then prove you wrong.

Man, I almost envy you. Watching it for the first time like that. Enjoy it.

My grandpa died when I was a kid and if she's around my age and was his former "fuckbuddy" that would mean my grandpa would have a lot more to answer for then simply cheating on my grandma...

Yup. But it in a less personal, more generalized sense...

Hmmm, that is my fetish. Older on younger.

I had Fireball Island.
And Hero Quest.

NO!!! Practicality vs functionality in the context of ever existing paradigms is NOT something you can just hand wave with no consideration of the implications of unequal inequality relative to the overwhelmingly overarching obligation towards prognostication!!!

They have a point, and its not like its calling for any changes to laws or policy.

Its just the whole thing is kinda like, addressing the health dangers of smoking when your in the midst of a famine.

they probably dont want some sort of weird boob related uproar associated with their game this early.

This made me lol

Yeah, can you imagine? It would probably get its own -gate.

Maybe tittygate
Or boobgate

Dammit Neon now what did you do

Apparently making jokes about a certain producer at Nickelodeon is super moddable? I didn't know that >_>

Why do I have you tagged as manwich?

Also, yeah, be careful about producers unless youve done your research.

As for tifas tits...
Hmmm.

More than likely we are looking at a downsize. They know that itll cause an uproar, and they probably dont want some sort of weird boob related uproar associated with their game this early.

Or, theyre still massive, and they dont want that to be the focus of what everyone is talking about.

Theyre in a real lose-lose situation here.

Yeah but how popular is the MCU, really. It seems in this scenario youd likely just see an additional hundred million people who participate for a few hours once or twice a year.

Not girl. They are trans. They identify as boy.
