It's not a need in the sense that you'll perish without it, but you're obviously at greater risk of mental issues if you lack any major social connections whatsoever.

I love that game so much. These supposed flaws? If they were really so bad then the kid versions of us would've put it down.

Backtracking due to new Kongs and abilities being a bit unnecessary and tedious, the sheer amount of collectables being both unnecessary and overwhelming, time spent needing to switch between Kongs being needlessly long, some padding issues, etc. Much of that won't be a problem for kids, but you can definitely feel it if you replay the game as an adult.

It's always been a silly argument simply from a logistics standpoint of the number of guns in the country. Even without out the "muh guns!" crowd or people illegally crafting guns regardless, it'd be near impossible to physically collect them in any timely manner.

It has some major flaws, but it's just a super fun game regardless. Honestly, a hack where you can switch Kongs on the fly would make most of the issues moot.

Only ever modded like three or four times, and I'd say all of them were nonsense from what I can remember. Can't remember if any were karma loss or not.

This is why we'll never have fully autonomous vehicles on the road, outside of maybe dedicated highways specifically for autonomous vehicles that have no odd intersections or whatever.

And tbh it's better that we don't. Don't need people going 150 mph down the road getting plowed in the backseat

I believe for the most part they've been way safer than human drivers so far. I'd assume this accident was a human-forced error depending on how the settings work, like the idiot just forgot to actually properly turn on the self-driving and got into the passenger seat to show how it works.

Honestly the problems needs to be looked at on a state by state, county by county level in every aspect of local government. Even without looking it up, Id bet money its not an evenly dispersed per capita issue throughout the country. There are some changes in how police oversight works thatd help on a general basis everywhere, but some places likely need everyone from the police chief to local judges purged from their positions.

You'd think they'd have a system in place that just doesn't allow players to connect rather than get the same person more than three times in a row.

How long ago were NES and SNES made?

Both the NES and SNES have their own degradation issues they're facing. The thing about them is that they're simpler tech that is easy to fix. The more complicated the tech and the more reliant it is on internet access, the harder it'll be to maintain them long term without outside methods like hacking. That's the same for games that rely on servers for updates and content that are now slowly becoming unplayable and worthless without game preservationists.

Is this a thing that's happening now, or something that'll happen 15 years down the line when the system is no longer supported and we're just facing the inevitable consequence how these products are structured? If it's the latter, this'll be solved through private servers and hacking anyway.

If I don't immediately fall into a crippling depression, probably try to leave a bunch of cryptic messages referencing modern pop culture to fuck with people from the future and then probably die a miserable death within a few weeks or months.

Seems like rather dumb bureaucracy that should changed in that particular case, but not like that means they're going to go without food.

Has an online petition ever once actually worked to further a cause? Like at best there are government ones where they at least have to give an official reply to its contents.

Shouldnt their biological sex be already recorded somewhere in the school database in the first place? I cant imagine anyone should be finding this out only when they apply to play sports.

Don't we have way more shootings per capita than most other countries with similar gun laws? You can certainly enact measures that are helpful in preventing mentally ill people from obtaining guns, but you're not going to stop what is a problem of mental health issues and/or crime through gun control alone.

They seemingly don't like money. Even if it was just collections of games like Mario is Dead for full price, they could be putting them out at least semi-frequently, but there must be some higher up who hates it for some stupid reason. The fact that they abandoned virtual console for the online service's thirty games shows something is fundamentally wrong with their thought process.

Seeing as you're casually throwing away weapons before you can even break them like ten hours in and the food system is broken as fuck, neither is really a particular issue that requires grinding to overcome.

Wouldn't be surprised if it also has the lowest average playtime of any major console release.

He has some kind of trigger that leads to some weird ass rambling. It's definitely more than just a stutter. But regardless of him being too old for this shit, he's definitely generally more coherent and smarter than Trump ever appeared.

I don't get why so many anti-abortion people use such dumb theatrics. While I fundamentally disagree with it, at least stick with the "abortion is murder" angle because it's something that can at least be argued from a moral perspective.

In general, as long as there was reason to believe they were older, like them having used a fake ID to get into a 18+ or 21+ area, I don't believe the adult in the situation generally gets in trouble. Though it might be a state by state thing with dumb laws.

It's fine. I don't see why sports in general are seen as like the last bastion of trans equality. There are spaces where their status as trans matters and places where it doesn't matter. Competitive sports leagues are one such place where it matters.

Yeah, there are people who lack personality, so they try to turn those into personality traits. Though obviously someone who routinely faces prejudice may have no choice in the matter, so it all depends on circumstances.

Nah, the chance of losing touch or sight would be way too risky.

I'm confused. Is there a national scrabble championship in which people have used racial slurs to win? Like, if you want to have super racist Scrabble at home, you can still do that. Though it seems like a pointless pat themselves on the back maneuver that will have literally zero effect on anything on this planet.

Easily. Artificial hands are getting better by the day and the obscene sum of money is enough to offset anything the artificial hand won't be able to do.

Magically domesticated livestock with a purpose for fighting, which somehow fuels a worldwide economy in which preschoolers can earn and carry around large sums of money.

It's probably somewhat of an accurate statement if you dig super deep into the workings of the brain, but it's a dumb statement in terms of how we actually function in society.

Money for sure. Ability to play isn't going to give you the looks, charisma, writing talent, or luck it takes to become a big hit. At best, the average person could get some late night talk show appearances and then make a relatively meager living after the interest dies down.

Seems like a tragic mistake. It's a mistake that requires consequences obviously, but there doesn't seem to be any evidence currently to actually justify fueling the cop hate boner crowd.

There are issues of overly puritan rules enforced only for that sake, but the rules being stupid doesn't mean you're a victim if you ignore them and get punished for it. If you want to be a martyr in the fight against them, that's fine, but don't act like a petulant child.

Feels like a very poorly thought out cover story for something else.

I dont like the idea of, but some animals seem to be so far gone that the only option they have is to be in some medication to deal with some sort of extreme trauma

Im glad the medicine is here but.. it says its primarily for separation anxiety which tells me that owner is either probably gone for far too long or the animal really does put that much faith in a person that they require medicine???

I dunno. I dont even wanna use the same language or carefulness or mindfulness we use for humans. I think far often we rely on giving out pills to fix a lot of things and translating our behaviors and projecting them on animals to make sense of our own is my main concern.

I could easily see it being necessary for like a German Shepherd with trauma issues. Those dogs can become super anxiety filled without any trauma, so a traumatized one would likely be a nightmare without chilling it out.

Something that could be seen as a tragic childhood mistake could be something like the asshole kids who throw rocks at cars off a highway bridge without realizing they can murder someone. Though it obviously would depend on their age and circumstances. They deserve some kind of punishment, but they at least have some chance to turn it around. This case is purposefully and knowingly putting people's lives in danger and ultimately murdering someone. There is no universe in which it could be viewed by anyone as a harmless game.

I'd assume that's been replaced 99% by Twitter at this point, where you can now get into a face to face beef and become disillusioned with your former heroes!

Mix of people who simply have been dealt a shitty hand through various different circumstances and just cannot keep up with things and people who are so fundamentally stupid about their spending habits that it's a wonder that they remember to breath.

As long as it is a gradual increase to allow small businesses time to adjust their prices without being fucked over, its not an overly big problem. Though Im not of the mindset that its really going to be some major equalizer either.

Even if you have the mindset that faith can allow horrendous crimes to be morally forgiven, how about maybe waiting ten to twenty years to give him time to put it into fucking practice before praising him? These are the subset of Christians that belong to a cult.

NEWS AT 11: Men are more likely to be nerds willing to dedicate hundreds of hours of their lives to a free volunteer encyclopedia! Everyone is shocked!

It's no different than Christmas in being two separate holidays on the same day, which may or may not coincide depending on the beliefs of those celebrating it.

Yeah, it feels like some really dumb decision decided by some higher up or board meeting. It has to be near free money, so the lack of it just makes no sense.

Who believes that?

People who believe they "own" their wife like asshole abusers, some really fundamentalist Christians and Muslims, etc.

Not immediately rushing to her after the guy left was the only real asshole thing they did. Absolutely nobody except police officers and specially designated security officials within their area of operation are going to be expected to get into a physical confrontation with someone to help another person.

The mega evolutions fill that niche already. Though I do wish there was a hack that took all the first gen rumors and made them real.

If they somehow proved it wasn't the cause of death and somehow was unrelated to the cause of death, it would definitely be important. That'd change it from murder to lesser charge for sure. Though the chance of him spontaneously dying and it having nothing to do with the choking seems nearly impossible.

The age gap couple would need to really be playing it up for people to notice. If just in similar situations like sitting in a restaurant, the height gap couple would be more noticeable. If they're going at each other on like a park bench, the age gap couple.

Seems like a dumb choice. For every targeted campaign, there are hundreds of shitty videos that deserve the public attention.
