I mean it is true. Dont see what the fuss is.

Ten people are in a room. One has a high school diploma. Nine have doctorates. Saying "the high school graduate is the dumbest person in the room" is likely a true statement, but that phrasing has loaded implications. Same thing here.

Are there any reliable statistics that police actually needlessly kill dogs that often or are people just overreacting to a few shitheads like usual?

Other than one character who has had like three minutes of screen time in one other movie, I don't think it has a single important thing in it. It's not bad, but not really good either. I'd just watch it for completion sake if you plan on watching literally everything, but skip it otherwise.

Isn't this like the third or fourth proposed thing this year that's bordering on actual 1984-style shit?

He has a point when looking at it from a macro perspective with no consideration to planetary happiness, but he's using a dumb brute force method that'll work part of the time simply because he's repeating it so many times.

so many aspects of american culture are worthy of hate and contempt

Busting your ass off for a period of time to start something big is perfectly admirable. What's stupid is acting like that's not a gamble and acting like that's something the average person can just pull out of their ass.

I've only put a couple hours into it, but it seems fine. I think the big issue was the Steam version which was a shoddy port of the iOS version.

Really? I find the videos get pretty formulaic after youve seen the 10th one.

I'd say that's more a limitation of the scope of the subject matter than his personal ability. Unless there's a particular narrative he can utilize like that one Mario Kart one, the up and downs of each community are going to be relatively similar. That he can make it interesting and presentable at all is the key here, as a forty minute video of mostly statistics and examples would generally otherwise be monumentally boring to all but the diehard fans of the subject.

His scripting and editing is superb. Like that Ahoy guy, he could probably make any topic interesting with enough work.

Even though it's like the dumbest thing ever, dub Super Saiyan 3 is probably the most iconic for me. One of the only times where the dub is superior.

Yeah but where did he get it? The ease with which anyone can get a gun is the issue.

That's something that's pretty much impossible to change without like fifty years of legislation and cultural attitude shifts, so focusing on trying to fix whatever mental health issues kids are having is going to be a much better way to try to mitigate this shit. Remove guns right at this moment and you can still have stabbings, bombings, etc. Guns are just a very convenient tool that requires relatively low competence for a fairly fight body count. The bigger problem is why we have such a high per capita situation with kids who think this is the only way to solve their issues.

Connecting to form something else makes sense, but Diglett and Dugtrio are really weird without knowing what their bodies look like.

I find myself often more motivated to watch/finish something when I look up a later plot point, so I never really got the people who get immensely butthurt. Being bummed out makes sense, but some people seem to be literally raging inside.

The local issue will likely be fixed, but it's definitely going to expand on what Loki started, leading into Strange.

I doubt it'd be possible without a great increase in deaths among populations that previously were mostly unaffected. The complete lack of real financial support last time would probably just cause most people to flip it the bird and continue on as normal.

Only one of those is a real problem though.

People being fake assholes can obfuscate real issues and cause people to turn away from what should be just causes, so that's definitely an issue. Quick acting mob mentality movements generally act without any kind of research, so that shit is bad as well. Those are completely separate issues from people being horrible shitstains online.

The real problem is fake people looking for virtue points and internet mob mentality, both of which can manifest under that terminology.

You think theyd choose something that doesnt sound so ridiculous like extra verbal analysis.

Are there any quotes as to what they said to him? It really depends how exactly they were phrasing their comments whether he overreacted or rightfully told them to shut the fuck up

He ultimately seems like a smarmy piece of shit, but the problem was so many people were projecting so much shit on top of it that it just became a sensationalized joke where everyone was basing it on their personal feelings, on top of the usual media circus.

Theyve broken out the multiverse for phase 4 or whatever number it is.

What is in the updates?

New modes and more ally characters (cameos from previous games that can be used as helpers).

Do you like any of the classic games/classic-styled or just the modern games?

Pretty much anything in regards to Sword and Shield's lack of quality simply due to the fact that they have the literal largest franchise in human history.

If you think slavery hasn't had a lasting impact on present day black Americans then you have a very, very poor understanding of how the world works.

There is no particular quantifiable way to measure that impact on the modern day population, nor would it help to assuage any existing grievances (as much as money can even do that in the first place). If you want to argue for appropriating funds for general programs, I guess that is a valid argument, but Id say getting money into the hands of people who were directly affected by modern issues or at least their children is a much better effort.

Reparations for slavery really have never made sense. There are plenty of more relatively recent racial injustices that have affected still living people that would make much more sense to champion.

People need to stop acting like humans haven't been horrible warmongers since the very start of our history. With the exclusion of causes to make sure we're not whitewashing history, pretty much anyone trying to use it as a talking point is just a disingenuous hack.

Each system is its own ecosystem and there's no way to guarantee all purchases will be viable on future consoles. Though a company with ethics would allow transfer/upgrades for games that do meet certain requirements, such as virtual console, classics, etc.

Personal happiness is the most important. People just need to make sure that it's actual happiness, not societal expectations keeping you in something that's not healthy and not personal insecurities keeping you from obtaining what would actually make you happy.

Ultimately their mental state and safety measures are more important than the actual number, but I would assume increased number of partners likely does correlate to poor mental health in regards to sex and poor sexual practices on average for both men and women.

"podcast game"????

Game you play while multitasking other things, like listening to podcasts.

Except Super is a shitty fanfic brought to life, it's just canon.

Excluding Toyo's background making that partially true, it's a labor of passion that manages to keep the feel of the original. It's just that the original had much of the same issues, some really low dips in quality on the anime side due to Toei being shit and some fairly meh moments overall because AT/Toyo aren't the greatest writers ever.

Super for its immense flaws is superior to GT simply because it's actually Dragon Ball rather than some shitty cashgrab fanfic brought to life. Simply having AT at least in a position of overseer when he's not directly writing at least makes the bad portions feel like bad Dragon Ball at the very worst.

I've only ever seen VII out of the sequel trilogy, but nothing I've heard about VIII and XI made them sound at all appealing to even watch for the sake of having seen them. Just for that, I'd go with the prequel trilogy despite having some massive flaws there as well.

Do you mean just 2D or the traditional top-down games? If you mean the latter, I'd say A Link Between Worlds is superior.

They definitely vastly swept the wider ramifications under the rug on both sides of it. Realistically, the world probably would have gone into unrecoverable shock at least in terms of the existing power structures in the aftermath of both events. Even considering a higher technological level than real life, I dont see recovery happening that quickly, if at all.

I think it wasted too much time on slice of life stuff, but it was good. The whole mystery thing was probably a better hook when there were active communities trying to figures stuff out.

Even if it's not illegal, protesting outside of residences should be frowned upon. I'm sure nobody would support a bunch of chucklefucks like the WBC protesting outside the homes of trans celebrities.

Currently use a Ridge I was gifted, and it's definitely better than a traditional wallet seeing as all I ever carry are around 12 cards anyway.

Definitely a case of "everyone in local government should be thoroughly investigated and probably ousted from their positions at the very least."

So has she ever said anything that's actually that horrific or is she just a good target for ire because she doesn't know when to shut the fuck up?

The father overall doesn't really feel that well written to me. You don't really get a feel for his 1000 years, you don't really get a feel for the comfort he found in her, the brief connection they had as a family seems completely overshadowed to the point where it shouldn't even be relevant, and he's ultimately replaced by a mindless monster that doesn't get much development.

It's for the money they can somehow make through whatever convoluted setup is currently in place, and money laundering. I don't think anyone actually thinks they really own something at this point. That'll change in the future if games start implementing them, which seems like a sad, unavoidable future at this point.

You'd need a particularly out of the way area for that. I can't imagine any populated area would have trouble.

Birds, but I'd probably pick a cat over a dog if I was forced to pick.

Seems like a mostly legitimate list with some obvious personal vendetta commentary mixed in.

Someone can be smart but make stupid decisions. He's just not a genius, as seen by all the vaporware shit he peddles.

If you want the best experiencing, play HeartGold or SoulSilver. If you don't really care and just want something to play, the games seem mediocre from the standpoint of what they should have been, but still competent enough to give a decent experience.

I never really got this argument. Anyone from anywhere can go to any public space at any time under normal conditions. The only issue was the illegality of the gun, which is now a dropped charge. While I think he's a smarmy piece of shit, him being there in itself never was an issue unless tied to the gun charges.
