Topic | People that drive < 65 MPH on the left lane |
Nemu 06/21/21 7:55:52 AM #16 | The worst people are the ones who move into the left lane as they see you approaching because now they are suddenly in a hurry despite having had literally nothing in their way previously and then proceed to go just barely above the speed of the right lane. |
Topic | Disney now owns Greek mythology |
Nemu 06/21/21 7:45:56 AM #20 | I dont doubt their thousands of people and algorithms have likely fucked up somewhere but need some actual proof the believe it Is common. |
Topic | Why do middle and lower middle class keep having multiple kids? |
Nemu 06/20/21 7:00:11 PM #15 | Can't really fault anyone for having one or two kids, but the idiots who can barely afford to eat but have five kids are the result of improper education/sex education, a religious background, and/or some idea that having children is beneficial to receiving welfare benefits. |
Topic | *That site* reportedly looking to move away from adult content |
Nemu 06/20/21 3:19:23 PM #11 | What exactly would be the point of the site if not that? Transition from porn to PG-13 Instagram style content? Why would they expect people to continue to use it? |
Topic | Do you believe in aliens? |
Nemu 06/20/21 1:26:07 PM #12 | As in they should most certainly exist within the great expanse of space, yes. That any have ever visited us, no. |
Topic | RIP *boruto anime spoilers* |
Nemu 06/20/21 12:43:02 PM #34 | lilORANG posted... Just doing some wiki research to catch up....so Naruto and Sasuke and considered the most powerful shinobi ever at this point? And this dude is still clowning them, but he's some ancient divine being that's always been here but only revealed himself recently...but he happens to be related to that other ancient divine being who was the final boss of OG Naruto, but he's stronger for some reason....Kaguya never really did any competent fighting, but she was outright stronger the whole time and was only defeated through an already existing method they took advantage of. The current bad guy is actually using his overwhelming power competently. |
Topic | Nina Simone's family claim Kamala Harris took estate and gave it to white people |
Nemu 06/20/21 12:09:13 PM #2 | From glancing over it, it seems control over the estate was lost due to her embezzling a bunch of money or something? It's always insane when scumbags try to use some kind of moral high ground to act like they did nothing wrong. |
Topic | It's funny how people are willing to accept theories like the universe is alive |
Nemu 06/20/21 11:56:39 AM #22 | In relation to an omnipotent being that exists outside of time and space, those are at least more within the realm of possibility. They're still widely outlandish speculation for speculation's sake and not based in anything concrete, but I'd put them several rungs higher on the believably scale than a true omnipotent being existing. |
Topic | RIP *boruto anime spoilers* |
Nemu 06/20/21 11:29:13 AM #27 | The fact that it happened was canon. The portrayal was filler. Though Id assume it was the kind of filler where the initial parameters like the existence of characters was canon even if the events themselves were left up to the anime staff to fill in. |
Topic | Marvel star SLAMS shippers (aka horny women) who want his character to be gay |
Nemu 06/20/21 9:50:28 AM #47 | Outspoken shippers are irrational and generally super fans, so it's likely one may encounter a greater frequency of them if they frequently interact with fans. As long as he's not bitching about a single person he once talked to, then it's a legitimate complaint. |
Topic | Man who DROVE into BLM will have ALL Charges DROPPED if he's a GOOD BOY!! |
Nemu 06/19/21 10:03:14 PM #7 | Did he purposely pass some kind of police barricade or something? Seems like he's the only person driving in the video, so it doesn't really make sense for it to have been accidental. |
Topic | What the f is critical race theory? |
Nemu 06/19/21 1:17:55 PM #12 | Whatever the original intentions, it seems to generally seems to be a horribly applied methodology that leads to moronic conclusions going by what's shown in the media at least. No idea if that's just bias in them only covering the horrible aspects, but I don't think it'd be so widely condemned if it was otherwise beneficial. |
Topic | How would you feel about a "HD 2D" Pokemon? |
Nemu 06/19/21 10:25:44 AM #6 | Something like a purposely retro experience based on the Game Boy graphics could be kind of neat. But for a modern title, no. |
Topic | Happy Juneteenth! Are you having a special meal or feast tonight? |
Nemu 06/19/21 10:18:32 AM #16 | I still do not understand the idea of naming a specific date with a portmanteau that could literally be any of six other days. Any of the other several names would have been so much better. |
Topic | Biden criticized for habit of giving WH jobs to aides' children |
Nemu 06/19/21 9:32:22 AM #19 | People using their connections to secure positions for qualified family members is perfectly fine. It's only an issue if there are conflicts of interest or they're not at all qualified for the job. |
Topic | What if Hitler and Nazi Germany succeeded in WWII? |
Nemu 06/18/21 6:18:08 PM #11 | If they somehow managed to rule the world, the world would've been fucked beyond belief. There's no way they'd have the infrastructure or manpower at the time. Taking over a good chunk of Europe and having solid alliances probably would have been their limit in the WW2 campaign. But they'd face constant upheaval and war even if they managed to settle for a while. |
Topic | Isn't piracy just a symptom of the inefficiencies of the free market? |
Nemu 06/18/21 9:55:22 AM #4 | No, it's just a consequence of digital media being easy to share and a lot of it being available for "free" through various means so its worth is somewhat devalued in people's eyes. If things were like back in the day of bootleg VHS and CDs, it'd still be a thing, but nowhere near as bad as it is today. |
Topic | Bloodborne TV show |
Nemu 06/18/21 8:52:43 AM #8 | I'd say it probably has like a 10% chance of being good, but hopefully they strike gold on the script and director. It could be amazing if they use the setting properly. |
Topic | IYO, who is in the wrong in this car accident? |
Nemu 06/18/21 8:47:54 AM #33 | im not 13 posted... I think you guys are confusing the dashboard driver being an ass to being at faultThe dashcam driver had the ability to slow down slightly and back off, but he instead aggressively speeds up so as to block the merger and keep his space. The merger would have had to have begun the merging process closer to the dashcam driver for it to have been 100% the merger's fault. |
Topic | IYO, who is in the wrong in this car accident? |
Nemu 06/18/21 7:14:22 AM #23 | Reis posted... dumbass merger:The dashcam guy should have started to slow down when he saw that the merger had no intention to stop, but he instead speeds up as if to overtake the guy. The merger is at fault for initiating a dangerous action, but the dashcam guy acted irrationally. It's hard to see any lines, but this is someone moving from one lane to another rather than two lanes merging into one, right? |
Topic | We now return to another episode of: "Do Americans really?" |
Nemu 06/17/21 10:23:55 PM #9 | 95+% of gas stations are convenience stores first and foremost, so they sell everything. |
Topic | Schools are telling girls to wear shorts under skirts to stop 'upskirting' |
Nemu 06/17/21 6:47:17 PM #9 | I don't get why people take advice of preventative measures as victim blaming. It's two different things. This seems to be recognizing the problem and providing possible workarounds to prevent people from being victimized to the best of their ability. Unless this comes along with them literally doing nothing to try to find and punish the harassers, then this seems like a nothingburger. |
Topic | Is prison labor slavery? |
Nemu 06/17/21 6:07:24 PM #85 | No. These people should be doing something productive to make up for their crimes. Now, how it's practiced in the US may be extremely exploitative with a focus on making profit over all else. |
Topic | Do you think the criticism towards straight white men is justified? |
Nemu 06/17/21 4:38:18 PM #9 | Discussion on the "power" balance between different demographics is a perfectly valid area of study. The problem seems to come from when the fringe people try to turn particular demographics into tangible enemies, which is where a lot of the laughable nonsense comes from. The people and articles using the regular loaded terminology near always seem to be completely disingenuous. |
Topic | I hate that gyro aiming on controllers didnt take off. |
Nemu 06/16/21 6:24:11 PM #11 | That needs to die in a fire. I tried to play that Journey game on PS4, but the gyro control was literally impossible to turn off from what I could tell. |
Topic | Washington Post: Birds are racist |
Nemu 06/16/21 6:18:22 PM #30 | There comes to be a certain point where its simply too minuscule to care, and this is one of them. Depending how far back you want to go, you can find this kind of minor shit everywhere in probably any culture. This is just someone with nothing legitimate to actually write who wants to cause controversy in a space where none currently exists. I get not wanting to honor shitty people, but who the fuck truly cares about the origin of a species name if you cannot tell the context from the name itself? |
Topic | What should be done if parents wont teach their kids to be respectful to trans? |
Nemu 06/16/21 4:56:08 PM #8 | There's literally nothing that can be done without getting into thought policing and government overreach. |
Topic | If we found a planet where magic works.... |
Nemu 06/16/21 4:40:15 PM #5 | Assuming magic can allow us to produce materials and goods that would be worth conquering a planet regardless of the ethical arguments, then we could try biological warfare to wipe them out. If the magic offers no off-planet benefit, I don't see why anyone would try. |
Topic | Man accused of giving his girlfriend a black eye beaten to death by mob in Utah |
Nemu 06/16/21 4:23:34 PM #99 | It's one thing not to feel bad in the case of the guy's crime being proven, but another entirely to act like it was a good thing to happen. Everyone who participated should be tried for murder. |
Topic | AP will no longer name suspects in stories about minor crimes |
Nemu 06/15/21 6:33:39 PM #9 | Drpooplol posted... I'm not sure you understand why they're doing thisI get it. I'm just saying it would be good to extend it the other way to stop giving high profile criminals any attention whatsoever. This country has developed too much of a morbid fascination with them, which leads to a weird case of celebrification that has likely had some influence on some other mentally ill people to do the same. |
Topic | AP will no longer name suspects in stories about minor crimes |
Nemu 06/15/21 6:20:50 PM #6 | They should do that for most crimes, especially mass shootings. Rapists can be dragged through the mud, but murderers should get zero attention outside of the court room. |
Topic | LOL @ Kazuya coming to Smash |
Nemu 06/15/21 4:16:24 PM #21 | The_Korey posted... You kall 3.5 out of 80 gratuitous?Yeah, all 3.5 are following the same niche with some minor adjustments to reflect their game of origin. It's basically like the anime swordfighter issue but less pronounced. It's just boring that out of all the unique characters we could possibly have gotten that we're just getting more of the same. |
Topic | LOL @ Kazuya coming to Smash |
Nemu 06/15/21 4:04:35 PM #10 | Ryu really should have been the only representative of traditional fighting games. Both Terry and Kazuya feel gratuitous at this point. |
Topic | Are the dark souls really that hard? Or are they hard because we've all decided |
Nemu 06/15/21 11:51:28 AM #14 | I'd say they're objectively difficult to the casual audience. That people can spend time either breaking the game, manipulating the mechanics in an optimal way, having dozens of hours of experience in prior games, etc is a consequence of having the time to do it. Drop 1000 people in completely blind, and I'm sure the majority are going to rate it as one of the harder gaming experiences. |
Topic | I'm here to kill Chaos. |
Nemu 06/15/21 7:36:56 AM #228 | Has anyone replaced the Heavy Rain Jason with Chaos yet? |
Topic | Capcom Showcase E3 Official Topic |
Nemu 06/14/21 5:51:02 PM #138 | They must not have much going on to extend 3.5 games out this long and then end on something completely pointless. Must have made the presentation just for the sake of having one. |
Topic | Capcom Showcase E3 Official Topic |
Nemu 06/14/21 5:44:05 PM #96 | This lady is way too cheery. Feels like she's hating every second of it. |
Topic | British Man does piece about US Prisons not having Air Conditioning |
Nemu 06/14/21 4:55:12 PM #15 | Yeah, kind of shitty to not have it in probably very stuffy and smelly buildings. They don't need to be particularly comfortable, but they shouldn't be made to be unnecessarily uncomfortable either. And if not for the prisoners, it should be for the unfortunate staff who have to deal with their BS in that horrible heat. |
Topic | With a little over 24 hours remaining, predict the final Smash DLC |
Nemu 06/14/21 7:11:49 AM #19 | Didn't they announce that the final one is being revealed later at TGS? For the E3 reveal, hoping for a first party existing franchise character, but otherwise probably Crash or some other major mascot character. |
Topic | Is 'I want to kill Chaos' the most KH thing anyone has ever said outside of KH? |
Nemu 06/14/21 7:09:47 AM #13 | Would have been fine with just one line, but the whole monologue just sounds like Coldsteel the Hedgeheg-level nonsense. |
Topic | You're imprisoned and will die within 7 days. You can extend your life by report |
Nemu 06/13/21 9:42:40 PM #9 | You're still going to die within a few weeks at best because there's little chance of that many viable rule breakers existing, and you'll be shanked within days even if you somehow can report enough people to extend your life indefinitely. |
Topic | Doki Doki Literature Club Plus has just been announced. |
Nemu 06/13/21 7:10:40 PM #3 | Wonder if they're going to springboard into whatever next game they were shown to be working on in all the backend easter eggs. Wonder how much of that they can replicate on consoles, if any, aside from adding a menu for the big twist at the end. |
Topic | Equal opportunity or Equity? |
Nemu 06/13/21 1:57:32 PM #8 | Forcing equity is impossible without undermining someone else. Forcing equal opportunity is possible, but hard to force individuals to practice without a lot of oversight in place. Seeking to implement practices that lead to a mix of both is the best case. |
Topic | In 2021, we all agree that Joel was wrong correct? TLOU1 ending spoilers |
Nemu 06/13/21 12:09:45 PM #5 | They operated horribly and paid the price for it. Trying to weigh everything on the scope of saving humanity is silly because who knows if it would have actually worked, but killing someone without their consent based on that hope is super fucking evil regardless. |
Topic | Fuck this webp image format and whatever jackass started it. |
Nemu 06/11/21 8:37:02 PM #5 | There are extensions to allow you to directly save it as another file format. Shit is absolute garbage. |
Topic | Would you date a girl with an OF account? |
Nemu 06/10/21 8:20:14 PM #9 | Have? Probably not. I'd dislike that going on in my active relationship. Had? Most likely barring particular circumstances. If it's not active, then I wouldn't really care. |
Topic | Is it rape if a trans person doesn't tell you they're trans before sex? |
Nemu 06/10/21 7:57:59 PM #250 | kage_53 posted... Rape is when one person is forcing another person to have sex with them. Unless that is the case here, it is not rape.Rape by deception is a thing, you know. The question in posed in these scenarios is does the nondisclosure of a trans person's status count as deception. |
