His methods weren't perfect, but it's better than actual reality. And they were happy.

I'd like to see what the entire world would be like after Maruki made it better. No rape. No trafficking. No war. No homelessness.

It's not better than actual reality because all he's done is replaced himself as the arbiter of what people want. He puts himself as the ultimate conscience of everyone. His entire Palace is supposed to show that. The point near the end where the Thieves have to answer the questions based on what what Maruki thinks is best for you rather than what you think is best for you shows that in the end he's just as corrupt as the other Palace rulers. Along with that, there's the LINE conversation that has Yusuke mention that one of his old friends had his original passion taken away from him and replaced because Maruki didn't think that it would ever make him happy.

Maruki just replaced Yaldy as the grand arbiter, even if his intentions were good, they were distorted which was why he had the Palace to begin with.

Why does Twitter lady hate on Isabella? Isn't she the smart sister?

Isabella is sort of the "stereotypical" Disney Princess/perfect child sort of character at face value, stunningly beautiful and absolutely perfect at everything. If you've actually seen the movie it's clear there's way more to her than that, but I can see why she's the comparison point because she's the total opposite of Luisa.

Also, just read that Disney didn't submit "We Don't Talk About Bruno" for the Oscar because they thought that Dos Oruguitas was gonna be the popular one.
Guess they were crazy wrong about a lot with Encanto

It wasn't exactly a "bad" call, a completely Spanish tug at your heartstrings ballad is sort of exactly what Oscarbait is made for. It also isn't nearly as connected to the story of the movie. But yeah, "We Don't Talk About Bruno" is the serious bop, I keep on going back to it even if I'm wholly just "eh" on Encanto as a whole.

I remember reading about this. I like how she doesn't understand that we rope off people from smoking due to the inherent risk smoking has on other people that they don't have a say in due to second hand smoke. The moment I see second hand fatness I'm running for the hills.

And yeah; all research shows that shaming those that are obese is the worst case scenario. As a fat dude that's on the path to recovery my eating habits were a lot based around depression and general feelings of bleh. I'm not saying that's the case for everyone but a good portion of obesity can probably be linked to self esteem and stress issues that causes a downward spiral

The entire point of Pokmon in the anime has been pretty clear that the best Pokmon don't really respect pure power and that they are captured more by understanding and respect. Literally I think every movie of the series has the villain trying to forcibly take control of one of the legendary Pokmon and it just ends up ruining things.

Totally believable in Canon that Mewtwo would go for some little girl who had no dreams of power or conquest rather than someone who's powerful and probably a megalomaniac

If you have a job and have 2 months to look, depending on the career 20$ an hour or less than a dollar pay raise is sort of barely really worth noting as asking too much

What's the part I'm supposed to be outraged at in these tweets? Or just another run of the mill Republicans bad?

From what i gathered she likes a Republican, talked about how she dealt with being sexually harassed and tried to remain professional, but since she said she didnt mind being flirted with and it sounds like it never went beyond that she's bad for not being outraged more?

It's one thing to say you didn't mind the flirting speaking for yourself.

It's another thing to go on to say "Look you might not deserve it but you sorta know you're asking for it if you dress revealing" and then having the gall to say that Obama didn't have the right to put himself down as black because they couldn't identify his father because...just look at him man.

Alright, I think I'll be getting at least 0 today.

Definitely going to be interesting compared to Lost Judgement. I hope the main story is as interesting/good.

I haven't played the Judgment series yet but 0 is widely considered to have the best story of the series so I hope it's worth it

Honestly yeah. I know people knock it but give me a sangria or Strawberry Daiquiri over any straight alcohol. That or a hard cider.

If you twist my arm I'd probably say rum is my go to but I'm just more a cider guy

Theyre good but after a few i feel i dont need to play anymore.

Even as someone who is in the middle of getting all Trophies in the series (I'm up to Like a Dragon), I can see this. The combat doesn't change terribly much as a whole. 0 and K1 play the same, K2 and 6 play the same, and 3-5 play predominantly the same. Basically if you aren't in it for the story and side stuff I get this.

That being said there's a reason I now have 6 Platinums beneath 5% completion and Kiwami which has like a 0.5% Platinum rate. I love the series and hope to see more people into it.

Also I agree with going with 0 to start. Kiwami has some stuff that sorta assumes that you played 0. The onlu thing you'll miss out on is some references to the first 5 games but honestly I played 0 first and it did not impact my love for it at all.

She's right that so far Democratic efforts have been woefully insufficient for addressing the problem.

They don't really have a choice. The swing vote in the Senate is a conservative Democrat from Coal country. There's no way he's going to vote for anything that impacts the coal industry which most environmental policy will.

It turns out a lot of young people actually watch this and Jeopardy.

I can sorta get Jeopardy, it's at the very least a pretty entertaining game show with regards to knowledge and of the competitive game shows it's probably the best.

I just don't see a ton of appeal of Wheel of Fortune though.

Game of Thrones had the larger fall. But as much as I could 100% blame D&D for this, I'm still going to die on the ending being GRRM's fault in the long run. They didn't sign on to finish the story before he did, they signed on to adapt, and everyone can agree that from an adaptation standpoint the show up until it ran out of original material shone. Even stuff that's hinted at in the story but not detailed was done very very well.

Having read the most recent two books they would have made fucking awful television and introduced a whole slew of new plot threads and characters that it would have taken ages to get through and thats if they could keep the cast together and George actually knew where they were going. Spoilers; he doesn't. That's half the issue as to why book 6 is taking that long.
