You've could of picked a more recent song, because Scars itself is a pretty liked song as well.

Scars was released in 2004. You're a bit late.

Does that have much impact on self-defense? If a guy says "I really want to kill robbers" and then goes out to shady areas to wait to get mugged, would that change anything? I think it was fairly obvious he was always a narcissistic, deluded piece of shit, but do disgusting thoughts change a legit self-defense scenario?

If you intentionally put yourself in harms way just so you can kill people, that's not self defense.

March 22 (Reuters) - The United States has urged Ukraine to halt strikes on Russian energy infrastructure, warning that drone strikes risk provoking retaliation and driving up global oil prices, the Financial Times reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter.

The attacks helped boost oil prices that have risen nearly 4% so far since March 12, when Ukraine first started targeting Russia's energy infrastructure. A further rally in gasoline prices in the United States would weaken President Joe Biden ratings and undermine his re-election chances.

Russia and Ukraine have both used drones to strike critical infrastructure, military installations and troop concentrations in their more than two-year war, with Kyiv hitting Russian refineries and energy facilities in recent months.

Really a take that it's more important for oil prices to not increase during a US election year than it is to stop an invading army.

i like how he's trying to sell himself as a right wing tough guy, but all I've seen him do is cry and throw temper tantrums.

Considering his way to fame was killing 2 people with a gun as a minor, he was never someone who was "tough"

The Gun Control Act does prohibit illegal immigrants from owning a firearm.

The 2A supersedes that according to the ruling this topic is about.

Otherwise, NY's handgun law would still be in effect.

You wanted to bring up a discussion about non-citizens owning firearms.

I think part of this discussions is about non-citizens own firearms within the US

I then told you that there is nothing that prevents non-citizens from owning firearms.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


Owning a firearm isn't something that only US citizens are allowed to do and a non US citizen with a firearm in the US borders is protected from the government taking away their guns as per the 2A.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


You said

I'm not sure how or why we would even need to regulate an illegal immigrate possessing a firearm?

I'm just clarifying what the constitution and 2A represent for this ruling. This isn't about regulating illegal immigrants owning guns, this is about preventing the government from bypassing the protections granted in the constitution.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


The constitution isn't a document that only applies to citizens. It's a documents whose purpose to tell what the US government can and cannot do. If the Constitution states that via the 2A that the government cannot take away a person's guns then it applies to everyone.

This means that anyone is protected from the US government taking away their guns. Though realistically this only matters if you are within the borders of the US and its territories.

the constitution is a just 200 year old document
it's not divinely ordained

it can and should be changed when it has stuff that doesn't work anymore

if it still works fine, that's great but having the value of "uphold the constitution" just for the sake of upholding it is folly

The arguments against Gun Control have always resolved around it not being part of the constitution.

Not sure why you care so much about my interpretation, dude. Chill out.

You are the one calling the country wild for upholding the values stated in the constitution. Do you not support upholding the 2A?

Bass posted...

I don't see the government using well regulated militias anymore.

I know this is a widely debated legal question, though.

That's not what the current interpretation of the 2A is. Do you not agree with upholding the values of the constitution?

Bass posted...

Lmao. This country is wild.

Do you not approve of upholding the 2A as it states in the constitution?

Prestoff posted...

This ruling is going to trigger a lot of Republicans.

If they aren't hypocrits they should love this ruling. The constitution applies to everyone within the borders and if the 2A is some infallible right then it applies to everyone within the borders of the US.

CHICAGO (TND) A U.S. District Court judge ruled earlier this month that completely prohibiting illegal immigrants from possessing firearms is a violation of the Second Amendment.

The ruling, issued on March 8 by Obama-appointed District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman, pertains to the case of illegal migrant Heriberto Carbajal-Flores. Carbajal-Flores was charged under Title 18 of U.S. Criminal Code, a measure preventing illegal migrants from possessing firearms.
Carbajal-Flores had no criminal history of improper use of a gun and therefore, according to the court, did not present a public danger when exercising his Second Amendment right in Chicago in 2020.

In her decision, Coleman cited the Supreme Court's ruling in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, which found New York State could not constitutionally prevent anyone from carrying a pistol in public. The case, she said, established a framework for analyzing whether a challenged firearm regulation violates the Second Amendment.

I guess thats logical in theory, especially with a homeless issue.

It's important for unused land to be able to be claimed by new people. Leases, agreements, etc can all be lost over time and having a plot of land that no one can touch even though no one can prove they own it would have cascading issues if left unchecked.

Regardless of what media you consume, you're generally going to have characters you like more than others.

Not to mention Persona games are RPGs and you take the role as a fellow high school student. In Persona 5 in particular, you can even date your teacher which is something I find weirder than saying one of the girls on your team is your favorite character of the game.

Spending effort to tell people that they could get your product for free, but they shouldn't do that because reasons when your product is made intentionally non-user friendly really shouldn't be a surprisingly reveal that more people end up pirating it.

Modern game devs don't seem to compress game files. I guess when storage is cheap and you aren't limited to how much data can be stored on a single disc, optimizations take a backseat.

How times is this now?

Until the punishment for securities fraud is jail time, Elon is only going to keep committing it since a fine is just a cost to do the crime.

Angela Chao, the billionaire sister-in-law of Sen. Mitch McConnell, tragically drowned in a pond at her Texas ranch. It is speculated that she may have accidentally put her Tesla in reverse while attempting a three-point turn.

The water called, it want its billionaires back.

Any app/site that you put payment information that doesn't require 2FA would be a concern. Considering most phones can accept text messages and you can hook up to your email account, I'm not sure why it's a big deal to get a 2nd code just to help prevent someone using your money to buy stuff.

Intelligence and being born into wealth are not mutually inclusive traits. The more money you start with the more you can fail before you succeed so even an idiot with enough wealth can become successful.

This may be confusing to Starfield and Elite Dangerous players, whove been able to do this since their games launched, but this is Star Citizen, and its actually a pretty big deal.

There's something funny about comparing Star Citizen to Starfield

I have a question that's more about grammar nitpicky

Why is it called Baldurs' Gate?
Doesn't that apostrophy turn it into "Baldur is Gate"?

Baulder was a person. Baulder's represents that the person Baulder owns the gate.

They fixed the bug that allowed you to loot dropped weapons from elementals after a long rest. Sadge. Wonder if if applies to Devas as well. That mace is great on Minthara in Honour mode.

tbf, they had like no animations and were really overtuned in values. They clearly weren't intended to be PC accessible and only existed so elementals could make attacks.

Being knocked prone also makes it easier for melee attacks to hit you, I think.

It does, it also makes you have disadvantage on dex saves (even though that isn't an actual rule in D&D 5e).

You can also completely shut down enemy actions if you make them prone and frightened since if they have no movement, they can't get up.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


All Shield Bashes except this very specfic one from a shield in Act 3 at the House of Grief do no damage. However, knocking an enemy prone does immediately end their turn which is extremely useful.

Shockingly, the GOP's current "policy" of "no policy except doing whatever Trump wants when he wants, including using campaign money to pay for his legal bills" isn't helping anyone in their ranks but Trump, while their stupid-ass culture war bullshit is simultaneously lighting a fire under Democrats' asses to get out the vote.

The biggest thing right now is the fact the GOP told a hardline stance on the border "issue" and is now saying they won't pass anything until after the election. They are saying we have a problem that is apparently not urgent enough to be addressed now. That's certainly not helping them win.

I'm pretty sure this is old news. I remember it being pointed out around the time Musk purchased Twitter.

That's pretty much the goal of these mtx riddled shit games, for ever 1,000 people who scoff and spend nothing there's one whale who drops a few grand. It's a pretty disgusting business model because it doesn't care at all about quality, someone somewhere will buy that trash. And when they stop, move on to the next game

And the thing is even if you don't spend money, the game was made worse for you just so they could sell these bonuses.

How is this a controversy?

*Sees $30 cosmetic, laughs out loud, goes about day*

Controversy solved.

I'm just copying the article title.

Still there is something to be worried about. Horse armor was made fun of and yet Horse Armor became microtransactions of today. We should be concerned that the next step in big game publishers is to nickle and dime us for simple recolors.

Because literally we are talking about nuances in online forums and discussions. Because guess what can lose itself in terms of text messages? Emotions. Like any post can be interpreted in many different ways and when you attach feelings ton them they dont always pan out how you would think they are.

This is literally more that Twitter meme more then anything.

I think we can all tell you are getting upset through your text.

https://www.gamesradar.com/diablo-4s-latest-microtransaction-controversy-is-a-dollar30-portal-recolor-you-can-get-palworld-for-this-price/

"You can get Palworld for this price"

Blizzard is charging $30 for portal colors in Diablo 4, and players are having none of it.

From the recent confusion surrounding cosmetic items in Diablo 4's Lunar Awakening event, to what players deemed "mathematically the scummiest" coin reward Blizzard could have given battle pass purchasers in Season 1, the action RPG has had its fair share of controversy when it comes to paid content. Now players are once again up in arms, this time over portal colors that cost "almost half the price of the game."

Over on the Diablo 4 subreddit, user Mwatki20 sparked the conversation by posting an image of the Dark Pathways pack, which offers town portals in orange, green, purple, yellow, and blue, as well as 1000 Platinum for a considerable sum. "$20 for different color portals? LMFAO Blizz!" they write.

Amazingly, it's even worse than that. As another player points out, the bundle actually costs $29.99, making it "almost half the price of [Diablo 4]." Further down in the comments, user Cmionor rightly says that for the same sum, you could purchase Pocketpair's 'Pokemon with Guns' sensation: "You can get Palworld for this pricejust sayin"

Adding salt to the wound is the fact that each color is locked to a specific class. "It isn't even just that it costs money," says WhiteVoltage. "I wouldn't necessarily mind paying $5 or something for it. But $30 for a portal that I might get two classes' worth of use out of? Hell no. Hay-ell no." Rather than being outraged, Patient_Competion4 finds the situation downright laughable, saying, "The fact that they're CLASS LOCKED is hilarious to me lmfao."

As some other players point out, switching up your portal color is merely cosmetic and doesn't affect the gameplay in any way, so you can enjoy Diablo 4 just the same without having to cough up the additional dough. Though with so many voicing their dissatisfaction at the lofty price tag attached to items in what's already a full-price game, perhaps Blizzard will rethink how much it charges for these kinds of cosmetics in the future.

Or Im pointing out a sort of mentality the internet sets itself up to double down on. Because you can look at quotes all you want but there is a difference in terms of a quote versus an interpretation of what the feelings behind it are.

You are literally the Skinner meme. No it's not everyone else who is wrong.

Baha05 posted...

Because believe it or not the internet is kind of fucked that way. It would be like if I was called racists because someone say a post that had no bearing on race being an issue and just stuck with it.

You're really digging yourself into that hole

Baha05 posted...

Except again you can look at the quotes but when it comes to interpretations its a whole different story.

The fact that no one agrees with you that these quotes are being taken out of context nor putting words in your mouth should really tell you whose wrong.

Baha05 posted...

You quoted me directly sure but again if you are inserting feelings and things not being said in those quotes or taking them out of context then you arent doing yourself any favors here. All you really doing now is claiming Im butthurt about this game selling and thats not the case.

The lovely thing about quotes on gamefaqs is that if you click the quote, you can see the original post.

Nothing is being taken out of context. We can all see the context.
