Cereal is probably the only of those I haven't eaten within the last six months, so that can go. Probably for the better anyway.

That's a Georgian Cross he wore as far back as January.

Isn't the ADL one of those organizations with a good mission statement but then they do a bunch of shitty things as well? I could be speaking out of my ass about it though.

Given recent Square titles have been less than stellar, I'm not sure I'll even buy it, but I just don't see how the scope of the project is going to work out. I think I would have just preferred a traditional RPG with modern day graphics over what they're doing.

Nah. If I could pick a bunch of child rapists or horrid murderers, sure, but I don't think I'd have the capacity to kill someone innocent.

X-Men-level world ending threat powers? No. Mundane shit? Sure.

Yes, as with everything in life, but I don't really use gendered terms towards someone directly, so it doesn't really ever come into play. If I was incorrect, I would just apologize and continue the conversation. This idea people need to go out of their way to be gender neutral to avoid offense is one of the dumber modern social justice issues.

Mass path to citizenship isn't an inherently bad idea, but we first need to implement as many measures as possible to reduce both illegal crossing and overstayed visas to the maximum possible extent. Otherwise, it would just be a signal to open the floodgates.

Its a pretty shitty catch 22 because the children shouldnt be punished for something thats out of their control, but you also dont want to create a system where people know they can get away with it.

I think thats fine. Im not against exclusives, but the poaching junk is dumb.

If its possible, wishing for omnipotence seems like the easiest route.

The issue is actual activists get swallowed up by the nonsense, so all activism is seen as nonsense. There are certainly places of legitimate concern, but the loudest are those who have no place in the discussion.

Should one be able to continuously cycle in and out of jail just because they're not violent? There is a point where you're never coming back out if you continuously try to cheat the system.

Telling someone they are worthless for their body size and telling someone they are healthy despite their body size are two equally harmful mindsets, so we need something in-between to allow people to feel happy despite their size and convince them their size is not at all healthy.

It'd be useless in most areas. It's only good for cities where everything is within a reasonable distance. The most reasonable place to put a bus stop near my house would likely be 20 minutes away by car.

Id say only if youre narrowly defining the term as face to face, health bar fighting game. Otherwise, the term is open enough to include Smash.

Why is Nintendo so stupid? They could release 5 objectively good games each month and have years of content. For what little value in terms of connection stability that we get out of their online, we should at least get good side content.

Yes. Anyone who disagrees really just has no intention of actually looking at it. They're just holding their ears and screaming at the top of their lungs in utter ignorance.

Natural progression is fine, but old school "send out weak one, replace with strong one, rinse, and repeat" was horribly tedious. The people who complain about full party EXP share are the kind of people who like to grind for thousands of hours in Disgaea's Item Worlds.

For myself? Sure. For the general populous? No fucking way. The world would be doomed.

It's not like we shouldn't feel horrible that this shit is happening, but it's statistically not a huge deal taking emotion out of it. We should obviously take measures to curb it as much as possible, but I feel like the sensationalist news coverage makes people think there's like more than a 0.001% chance of it ever happening to their child.

We should do our best to remove social stigmas and barriers of entry, but I don't really see the benefit to pandering to those who don't match up to current standards unless those standards are unreasonable for both men and women.

Neither version paints her in a good light. They do too little to villainize the guy, leaning too hard on the "yeah, woman power" aspect. It would have been fine if it was used to for character development for Carol by showing her in a negative light, but it's meant to make her look good. It's a weird scene because otherwise the film really didn't have any other moments like that.

Public domain was designed before anyone had the idea of media empires ever being a thing. Until Disney eventually ends up killing itself somehow, it can make better use of its properties than the public.

It's only the moral equivalent of theft if you think each download correlates to one lost sale. It's still wrong and illegal for sure, but to say it's theft buys into the whole "millions of lost sales" nonsense.

Given there are levels with like 20 million plays, I'd hope it's good, else there are many, many masochists out there.

Ive resigned myself to the fact they will all be third party, so it doesnt really matter. I havent really cared about any of the characters so far.

So what was the TL;DR on the accusations themselves?

Games that can lock you out of events are annoying, so I'd pass on something like that.

It shouldn't be a constant go-to punishment, but I do think there are cases in which it may be beneficial. There is a vast difference between "go get the switch" style insane parenting and a quick spanking.

I don't know why people are surprised when they learn that all humans have the potential for racism. It could very well be the twice as likely statistic is incorrect, but I'm sure they'd fine that all humans have about the same level of innate potential for prejudice.

Having seen some of the horror shows left behind by horrid tenants, I don't understand why anyone wants to deal with the hassle. One dirtbag could likely eat your entire profit for the year if they dodge on rent and trash the place.

I'd say yes, to a certain extent. I'd obviously avoid being friends with a KKK member even if outside of that they were they nicest person in the world.

Respect all forms of gender and sexual diversity and identity!

What about heterosexual and homosexual cisgenders that are only sexually attracted to other cisgenders?

You're literally Hitler.

The only point I make about it is, if you think they are hot they are hot. If you think they are hot, and then you find out they are trans and think that is gross, you are most likely just lying to yourself because you don't want to catch the imaginary gay.

You can't be literally only attracted to cis people, because you cant always tell. When you see a trans girl who passes, you just assume they aren't trans. So it feels like the only real trans people are one who you aren't attracted to.

There is a good chance all these people who talk about how they would never be attracted to a trans person have already seen some and thought damn they are hot, but just didn't know the difference.

If you think someone is hot, but change your mind after you find out they are trans, that is literally transphobic. Phobic doesn't always mean fear, it also can mean an extreme aversion to. Acting like it would be disgusting to date them is indeed an extreme aversion to.

I don't understand this attraction angle of discussion. The point of contention for most people is the existence/former existence of a penis. Even if she's supermodel-level attractive to someone, that is an absolute no-go for most people. I completely agree with removing stigmatization in cases where a person would otherwise be willing but fears what others may think, but that's a person by person case.

I guess whether it's a big deal or not depends on how much of a pain in the ass it is to go through the process of getting citizenship for them. If it's a horrid slog that takes years and thousands of dollars, that's pretty shitty. If it's as simple as filling out extra paperwork, then it's a nothing story.

I think there's nothing wrong with being fired for something actually racist or otherwise truly beyond reasonable doubt offensive. The real problems are when it's not overtly offensive, or they're hounded and hounded even if they sincerely apologize.

I've paid $30 for one, but it was absolute upcharged garbage. Generally $15-$25 should be the most depending on what they're offering.

There are quite often hamfisted opinions being tossed into media, and the creators simply expect the consumers to lap it up. There are times where people bitch about nothing as well. It's usually both sides using strawmen instead of actually discussing the topic.

Though it's a joke, this is a fairly common talking point. I don't really think it's an equivalence. If the child is brought into the world, both parents have a duty to care for it unless parental rights are removed. The woman, carrying it for close to a year, has the right to do with it as she wishes due to having that burden.

I have no interest in ever playing this, but I'd be really interested to hear a summary on how they deal with the atrocities. Will it be simply played straight as sort of like an edgy parody, or will it be simply watered down caricatures that gloss over the horrors?

It seems like no one actually watched the video and are instead knee jerking to the clickbait title so for the people who are too lazy to watch heres the description

Non-offending pedophile is a term used to describe an adult who is attracted to children but has never acted on those feelings with a child.

David, a 21-year-old college student in the United States, knows he is attracted to children between the ages of 4 and 11. Hes one of many pedophiles who knows it is wrong, but believes he was born this way, and that with treatment those urges can be controlled.

But to get that help, people like David have to seek it. And in the United States, that comes with huge risk due to mandatory reporting laws that require therapists to report people they deem a risk to children to the police.

Elizabeth Letourneau, director of the Moore Center for the Prevention of Child Sex Abuse, is one of few researchers in the U.S is focusing on preventative measures to help pedophiles.

Even if you've never offended, if you are sexually interested in children and you reach out to a therapist for help, they may decide that you still represent a threat, Letourneau said. And that their concerns meet the threshold for a mandatory report.

That's not the case at Berlin's "Project Dunkelfeld," one of the only places in the world that offers treatment for pedophiles.

The problem is that they're trying to latch too hard onto the "born this way" angle. I agree that it may be too hard for some people who legitimately want help to get it, but this a rebound too far in the other direction.

I didn't watch the whole video, but isn't this basically about people who have sexual ideation about children and they recognize that it's wrong so they are seeking help?

What's wrong with that? I would rather them seek help before they actually do abuse a child.

I mean, these people are going to exist no matter what. Wouldn't you rather them seek help? Or you want them to just keep silent until they eventually act on their desires?

I don't know about the ones in this video in particular, but these people usually try to sneak into the LBGT circle and list disgusting shit like their "age range of attraction" in their Twitter profiles.

I'm for people not wanting to instantly lynch people who legitimately want to seek out mental help to control their disgusting urges, but these fuckers want to make it just another sexuality. They deserve no public sympathy at all.

Contradictory identity politics more focused on finding an aggressor to hate than actually solving social issues. Feminists are not inherently SJW because there are legitimate issues out there, but the ones that focus on nonsense the pink tax, the wage gap, and manspreading are SJW.

I feel it's important that official documents should have some reference to their birth sex even if it's not outright stated in plain English. It's unimportant for day to day life, but I'm sure there are some areas in which it's important. It's perfectly fine to embrace their identified gender, but it shouldn't completely erase their former status either.

Not that Trump isn't deserving of mockery and criticism, but the people doing it for him in particular have made it a lot more personal. For a lot of them, it's an affront to humanity that he stands in the office of president, so there is much more venom in their mockery. Then Trump amplifies it being the big Twitter baby.

I love moral busybodies. I can completely understand calling jokes crass and tasteless. I can get swearing themselves off of a comedian's content because they're personally offended by them. What I don't get is why they think other people need to care what they think about it.

If you were to have a process that terminates your physical body at the end of the transfer, I guess you could try to justify it as a direct continuation of yourself, but it's really just that there are two of you existing at once. Without something more like the existence of a soul or some other eternal record that defines a person, there's no way we could ethically justify a transference to another medium. The preservation of the brain needs to be first and foremost, then you can just figure out other mediums like a jar, robot body, growing a new body, or transferring to another donor body.
