He was a kid walking home after buying some skittles and an Arizona, and he was a resident of that neighborhood. What's next, are you going to bring up how they found cannabis in his system? Him walking home after getting some snacks does not mean he is a robber.

Wikipedia talks about an incident dealing with possibly stolen jewelry. I had the impression that he was much more troubled than that, but I guess I was thinking about some other case. He definitely wasn't a shining example of a human potential, but it doesn't seem like he did anything so egregious that you couldn't write it off as him being a dumbass when he was young. As I said, I don't think anything he did justifies his death, but I was thinking it would be weird to act like a criminal was some lost potential if my initial impression had been correct.

Looks like around 90, but that's including a lot of bloatware.

A victim doesn't have to be "squeaky clean" for their death (and the acquittal of their murderer) to be a huge injustice wtf

Yes, even the worst criminal can be unjustly killed, but people also won't generally take up the charge for someone who was a scumbag. Though looking at Wikipedia, it seems like he was just a punk who may or may not have committed robbery, so I might have been mixing up another case.

Zimmerman is a murderer in my mind, but is Martin really the person to martyr? I don't think he did anything worth dying over, but he wasn't squeaky clean either was he? Unless my interpretation of Martin is just completely off, there are certainly other victims of gun violence that would be better to champion.

Get a trust going, hopefully have them claim it. Figure out how to best invest/bank the assets. Rather than give people blanket amounts of money, I'd set up a credit card account with family members on it after setting them up with all other major purchases.

It's not absolutely necessary, but there are a couple books it wouldn't hurt to read before diving into it. One of the main antagonists is present in a few other books, and the settings of those books are used as well. You can find plenty of suggested reading orders out there.

Pool of gasoline in a narrow alley + match = no more rats

Now you'll be assaulted by hundreds of flaming rats that also give you third degree burns as they bite you to death.

Haven't had that one specifically, but the one I've tried wasn't bad. I doubt I'd ever order another, but I can definitely see them reaching the point of being completely identical in some number of years.

Nothing there would stop you from being swarmed by the rats, so you have to pick them. After that, both gunman and one set of large predators are good second choices. Really depends on if the gunman is a seasoned hunter with plenty of ammo or some dude who just picked up a gun once or twice in his life.

Sometimes kids are just gonna kid, but the lack of care for other people from some parents is pretty astounding. If your kid is screaming non-stop, at least look sorry about it and try to calm the kid instead of sitting there on your phone doing fuck all.

Isnt the point to eventually pass out?

I'd say any hole going all the way through an object with enough depth that filling one hole on one side won't inherently fill the other by definition has to be two holes.

If you plug one side of a straw, all you have is a really deep indent, no hole.

That would only work if holes were defined by completely penetration of an object. Assuming we're talking about a singular wall instead of two walls with a gap in the middle, there would be nothing you could call a hole if one side is properly patched. If you have two walls with a gap, then you have two holes in the first place.

Feel free to invent full automation of all daily necessities or the creation of matter from nothing.

A hole in the wall is still one hole. Just two openings.

If you plug a hole in the wall, the whole hole is closed. You're just left with an indent if you only patch it properly from one side.

Two because you can plug one and still have a hole.

I really don't see the point, so I never use them. But no particular reason people shouldn't so long as they actually take the courtesy to turn them off the second they see the traces of headlights of an oncoming car.

This reduces the lifespan of the machine FYI

I imagine it's fairly negligible at this point.

Why would you want to turn it off in the first place?

It is pretty crazy that a franchise that has maybe 15% good games has remained that ingrained in popular culture.

Christ, not as bad as cutting something off, but potentially coming damn close to it. People who justify bodily harm on a spouse or former spouse for infidelity are fucking nuts.

Don't think I'd enjoy life being forced to wake up every hour.

Feeding people, while noble, does nothing to fix the underlying causes leading to them starving in the first place. It's simply a small bandaid on a gaping flesh wound. Governmental reform would be the starting place. I don't think tossing money at it would help much.

I get that some people just want the option, but wireless earbuds and headphones are just crap in comparison unless you're a sound snob.

I don't want to do it, but I'd be an idiot not to do it. Not like there isn't other good junk food.

Was he replying to someone? Seems random to bring up out of the blue. Though it's just a different word for selective breeding, which, outside of unplanned issues due to carelessness, definitely works, so not sure why that would be a surprise to anyone. The issue is that we have all these freaks who think skin color is a negative trait.

No. Maybe it's a European or long haul flight thing, but it's like three inches and sometimes you can't even tell if the seat is reclined or not.

Only mild drugs that cause little harm to society. Once you're peddling tens of thousands of pounds of harmful drugs every year, you deserve the death penalty.

Why are politicians allowed to put forth shit like this? It's the same thing as filibustering, games that shouldn't be played in a national government.

They'll definitely attempt to add something to it, but I feel like this will be their gimmick for a while due to their dominance in the handheld space. It seems like it would be unwise to split it back up. The only way it would make sense is if they wanted to jump back into the PC-lite space and actually compete in hardware, but that seems like a pointless battle at this point when they can have a unique selling point other than exclusives.

Shapeshifter, just get creative enough and you can replicate most of the other powers.

Not that I think the current state of the system is good or it should remain as such, but it seems most of these alternative plans are just pipe dreams.

Are there airlines where reclining makes any noticeable difference? Any flight I've been on, it's near impossible to tell, so I don't at all see how it would ever be an issue unless you're a giant.

It definitely feels like a child-only pet. They don't seem to have any capacity to form a bond, and they're always going to be looking to get the hell out of there and never come back. At least most other pets you can only really watch at least chill.

When there's no advantage or disadvantage based on biological sex, then it doesn't matter at all if the person is trans or not. Who cares who wins in a scripted soap opera ballet?

His voices are pretty sub-par.

How many are currently on the road? It's probably still statistically way safer than normal driving, yet one death gets the world up in arms about the safety of it.

There is some amount of money where Id whore myself out to nearly anyone, but its certainly way more than Id ever be worth.

I still need to play 3 and 4 to completion. From what I remember of them, 2 still beats them out though.

How the hell do people fall into this cult-like mentality?

I'm pretty much done with it as a franchise. I'll watch the continued stuff like SM, DS, GotG, but anything new will probably be skipped unless they're all getting stellar ratings. The current lineup seems pretty lackluster now that they've lost three of their big names.

If ice cream places were open, I'd definitely go occasionally.

Played a ton on Gamecube, Wii didn't get a ton of time, DS got a shitload more, never played the 3DS. DS probably takes the cake for me, but I imagine I probably would have liked the 3DS version better.

I ultimately see cash as extra, burdensome money to get rid of as quickly as possible, so it's the opposite for me.
