Kaede is Chiaki
Nope

Kaito is Mondo
Nope

Kirumi is Celestia
Nope

Angie is Hina
Nope, and I'm pretty sure everyone thinks that even before they realize nearly all the VAs are shared.

Gonta is Hiro
Yes!

K1 is Hajime
Nope, and I'll be shocked if you can guess this one with anything short of process of elimination

Tsumugi is Sonia
Nope

Kokichi is Fuyuhiko
Yes!

Himiko is Hiyoko
Nope

Tenko is Genocide Jill (and/or Toko, not sure if they have the same VA)
Nope, and for the record in English they don't, BUT both of those VAs also voice Junko (in various states).

Though I think the only reason I don't like him is because he lives so far out in nowhere, which the zipline fixes...

They're basically Codecs, but they're also much more limited and it takes away some of the surprise of, "I wonder what would happen if I called Sigint while wearing this tuxedo?"

Yeah, there's no "discovery" involved with the tapes. You just sort of get them, and then have to listen to them completely divorced from any mission instead of being a slight gameplay interlude.

Yeah, but MGS3 gives you plenty of side content through radio conversations to keep you from thinking too much about that.

Also as a huge MGS fan, Kojima has NEVER been good at pacing stories. And for as much as I love it, MGS3 is one of the most glaring examples of that. The plot is pretty damn minimal between first meeting Eva and getting captured.

I'm getting Gundham vibes. Dude is a dwarf, with a strange face that may or may not be a mask, who is a Tennis Pro, and took down a mafia by hitting them with tennis balls. And wtf is with this voice. I can't even.

Gundham and Ryoma have the same VA, so that's probably why

I approve of that.

To be clear, everyone (including the Monokubs) but one character shares a VA with someone from the first two games, except for one character who's VA apparently was in UDG.

I'll let you try to guess them as you go. Some of them are easy, some of them are very much not.

Edit: Also that's not a weird hint about the plot or anything, just to be clear. Pretty sure it's only the case with the English VAs.

No, I am not prepared to support or refute any statistical analysis. Neither are you. That's the entire non-opinion support of his argument, and a thing you've brought up many times before. I was assuming you wanted to focus on something else. My mistake.

The preliminary findings of the audit are a lot more thorough than this guy wants to pretend they are. 9 days after they publish it, he's still talking about the preliminary vote counts as if they didn't say any of this.

https://www.oas.org/en/media_center/press_release.asp?sCodigo=S-025/19

Admittedly they presented this a day after his article, but their stance isn't "okay everything is good here see ya later". I mean, Venezuela voted in favor of it for goodness sake.

Did they handle things poorly? Possibly. Hell, probably. Is there any clear indication that they acted with malice to ensure things have gone down the way they did? No, I don't see that.

He provides the official numbers, the math, and the official statement (which is no statement) from the OAS about the official results and why they made such a claim over an unofficial quick count.

Read the article and tell me what you think?

Yes, its a guy from CEPR, but look at the facts provided, PLEASE

1) The crux of his argument relies on the change after the freeze being statistically normal. Even assuming that is true, he seems to imply that the audit is clearly a lie even though one doesn't mean the other.

2) Any time he isn't talking numbers, the rest of the article reads like a hatchet job to the OAS with very little to back that up.

The article is labeled "Opinion" for a very good reason.

While it doesn't completely invalidate their data, CEPR isn't some independent group. It is a think tank with the expressed goal of helping leftist South American governments stay in power. It has been a mouthpiece for the Venezuelan government for some time.

If one group is the OAS and the other group is CEPR, side with OAS.

This is like going "oh well BBC and OANN are saying two different things about the Trump administration so we should trust both pieces of data equally".

Wasn't OAS literally formed in the 1980's to help oppose Communism?

This does not seem like a fair take.

Again, no. I've told you that they are literally 3 years younger than the UN before.

Given some of the things you've posted about other stuff (even in this topic about e.g. Epstein) you really shouldn't be calling anyone else a conspiracy theorist.

Dude, its like you dont understand what the argument is.

Me calling you conspiracy theorist was a flip way of pointing out how YOUR disputed facts (which to be clear: require a conspiracy to be true) are just facts, while Cyclos are conspiracy theory. The CIA has a long and public history of toppling South American leftists, why does that keep getting ignored?

Because the reason they did all that shit in the first place hasn't been applicable for nearly 3 decades.

I always took "deep state" to just mean career DC bureaucrats who rely on certain policy status quos for permanent employment. It's not really a Mr. Robot-esque illuminati conspiracy.

We already have a term for that. The Establishment.

Deep State specifically means, like, The Patriots from Metal Gear

Well they're more resistant at Lvl 3, not immune like it sounds like you're saying, but an upgrade to any level also serves as a "free" full repair.

I also recommend largely avoiding using chiral crystals for repairs. The cost for doing so compared to other resources is insane. Of course if it's like a shelter and you want to get it functioning quickly, just use enough to get it to that point.

Oh shit I completed a road and it paved over someone's safe house they built. So RIP that. It was in a pretty good location too (it's by the auto-paver that needed a TON of materials on the west side of the map).

Maybe people shouldn't build shit where roads go.

That's odd, because I was trying to build a structure next to a road that was already built and it said "Road Construction Area". It turned yellow instead of red though so maybe it wasn't stopping me?

Corrik, Jakyl may stay fairly grounded in not letting his views color his interpretation of facts, but his actual views are possibly more extreme than anyone's in these topics. Like I say I'm not a Democrat to you quite often, and I'm not, but it's probably more accurate to call me a Democrat than him.

I feel as far as the quiz you both would more equate with Democrats. You could say you are independents, but you clearly swing towards a party on the spectrum.

Independent isn't a point of view. Technically neither is Democrat or Republican, but at least you can attribute certain points of view to them.

Independent basically just means you aren't literally registered to a party, which means most of us here are technically independent, but it really has no meaning in describing one's views.

When I say I'm not a Democrat to you, I'm accounting for your interpretation that aligning views means you're that regardless of what you want. You just interpret the fact that I disagree with you on a lot means I'm a Democrat, when I rarely ever argue for things being the way I actually want them to be.

What people's rights? Our government's only purpose is to protect American Citizens and their rights.

The rights of those who wish to break our laws and illegally enter our country ultimately matter little beyond our government maintaining legitimacy in its purpose and its image. All we owe those who wish to break our laws that are not citizens is humane as possible deportation.

If this is the purpose of government, why do they owe humane deportations at all? They could just execute illegal immigrants to assert maximum legitimacy, after all.

You're thinking too small. Their can't be any illegal immigrants if we just nuke the rest of the world to stop people from other countries ever coming here.

It is against the law to murder.

Obama says it is against the law but we will only prosecute those who murdered children.

Trump says no it is against the law to murder we will prosecute everyone who commits murder like the law says.

Enforcing the laws that exist and not selectively enforcing them.

This really isn't even complicated. Holy political bias lmfao.

Well setting aside that you chose something that is usually prosecuted on the state level because it was the most extreme example you could conjure up in two seconds, you're talking about far more explicit laws in this case. Most laws do not have enforcement guidelines as clearly spelled out as literal murder.

Also you should really stop claiming political bias when you're taking Jeff Sessions words from 2 years ago as your personal gospel.

Nope. Already showed you that this was always how it was. Not my fault durrrr Republicans are the worst blinds you. It is right there in the article. He is enforcing the law as it is supposed to be, not selectively enforcing it. Black and White. Not even debatable.

The article literally doesn't support your position, including the part you quoted. You have no basic understanding that the core function of the executive branch means that how to enforce laws is (generally speaking) left to their discretion. Somehow that means you default to "harshest possible enforcement must be correct" despite, from a pure legal standpoint, neither way was "more correct" than the other.

(That's of course ignoring human rights or other violations to other laws that may occur as a result of the Trump admin's enforcement, but I'm trying to keep it simple for you.)
