So once again the juries picked the winner. Why even bother allowing the public to vote?

Most young people in America don't even know American history. The middle east might as well be another planet.

I only buy Nintendo consoles for the 1st party games. Whether or not it can handle modern cross-platform titles is irrelevant because I'll just buy those on better hardware.

The only thing that matters to me is that it's backwards compatible with Switch 1. I'm not going to keep 2 portables around, and I'm not buying "Enhanced" Switch 2 ports of Swith 1 games.

If people mistakenly believe they split up decades ago, it's because that's the last time they were relevant. Not really a Mandela Effect. Limp Bizkit still tours, but I bet if you asked most people they'd assume the band ended 20 years ago.

If you're on private property, and when asked to leave you refuse, you're at least somewhat responsible for whatever comes next.

With that much money you could go live on a private island and barely interact with anyone.

Oh really? Lived here 7 years and yet to find one. Let me know where these entire no foreigner regions are since you're the Japan expert. Honestly living in Japan makes me xenophobic against foreigners online because they talk shit constantly without knowing what they're talking about. I experienced worse racism living in the US, no one told my family to go back to China or attacked them in Japan during coronavirus. But go ahead and have your circle jerk about the place you've never been.

I went to Japan 9 years ago, and I definitely saw signs that said "Japanese Only" or "No Foreigners Allowed" at some businesses. I can't tell you the specific locations because it was 9 years ago and I didn't document them. They were there though. Not every business of course. Not even close to the majority, but I saw several.

Is this sarcasm? Both of those games especially Tears of the Kingdom run like garbage

Have you not seen Pokemon Scarlet / Violet in action?

FF7 Rebirth

No. I do remember playing it for the first time, but I doubt it was on release day. At that age I wasn't aware of release dates. I'd just see it at the store and ask for it. Usually I had to wait for a special occasion like a birthday or Christmas to get it.

The Beatles, Elvis, Michael Jackson and others have sold more albums, but they've also had decades more time to sell albums than Taylor Swift. She's the most popular musician alive today, and she's still relatively young. That she's even in the conversation is impressive.

Godzilla Minus One just came out and showed these movies don't have to be dumb.

I didn't like Godzilla x Kong, though, because the first half extremely dull. It's a lot of walking around. Godzilla is barely in it until the last 20 minutes.

Seriously, I ask myself this every time I get in line for an ATM. It has never taken me more than 2-3 minutes but some people are up there for like 10 minutes+. I have no idea what type of business they are conducting with a machine that would take so long.

One of the more accurate things Trump said was that he could shoot somebody in the middle of the street and not lose voters. There's a very real chance the man arguing that Presidents can murder anyone they want will be our next President, and half this country doesn't seem concerned.

Historically yes, but I personally dont believe that anymore after these current events.

You can believe whatever you want, but back here in the real world it's pretty clear. Only 21 Republicans voted against Israel aide. By comparison 37 democrats said no. Trump has called himself Israel's best friend and opens rallies by praying for the Israelis. When asked about the children murdered in Gaza, Mike Johnson said it's not Israel's fault... it's the fault of the terrorists. Republican support for Israel is unwavering.

Trump is very up-front with his hatred. Women, minorities, LGBT, immigrants... he's going to give you a front row seat to genocide, and he'll still find time to build Trump hotels over the corpses in Gaza. If you don't vote for the one and only alternative, that's 100% on you.

LMAO, are there only like 500 people in attendance? That's embarrassing.

It's now easier than ever to do this.

Leave. It's not like I could grab a trash bag and get to work. That's a massive cleanup effort. Probably have to bring in machinery.

Post 12 is playing with fire

So is post 9

Nothing in that article that says she has been fired. It's unknown if she'll return to the role because a season 2 was never greenlit. The first season wasn't very popular so it's unlikely they'll do anything else with the character.

Rosario Dawson was one of the most outspoken actors during the strike, and they are still making more Ashoka.

This thread makes me feel things Fandom never intended.

I never tipped when I had to go pick up the food. Not even during covid.

Doom > 2016 > Doom II > Doom 64 > Doom 3 > Doom Eternal

I have a Series X but never play it. There's literally nothing on it I can't play somewhere else.

If Trump were in charge they'd be building a Trump tower in Gaza, right on top of all the Palestinian corpses.

The next President of the United States will be Donald Trump or Joe Biden. Period. There is no 3rd option. It doesn't matter if you accept it or not. Doesn't matter if you dislike both options. Doesn't matter if you feel it shouldn't be that way. It will be that way.

Decide which of these 2 men better represent you, and vote for that guy. Full. Fucking. Stop.

There are two competing theories on democracy ITT:
Public officials should change to meet the desires of voters
Vs
Voters should change to meet the desires of public officials

The next President of the United States will be Joe Biden or Donald Trump. Period. All a voter need do is figure out which of these guys will better represent them, and offer a better future for themselves and their family, and the country as a whole. That's it.

If you don't vote at all, or vote for some 3rd party, you haven't "sent a message." If you don't like the results of the election, you are not blameless. If the country sinks, the moral high ground you've built for yourself will not save you.

Because they are not GOP voters...

They are if they don't vote for the democratic nominee.

Every time one of these topics are made, its voters saying "Biden please change this policy we are speaking as voters in key states" and then a bunch of CEmen reply like these people all just cast early ballots for Trump

The people in this article literally say they won't vote for Biden. That's as good as voting for Trump.

I'd take it. The amount of time and money I'd save over a lifetime more than make up for the mediocre food.

"that is why the democrats should listen we are holding their election in the palm of our hands and they are not listening"

I wonder if the cop beating the shit out of them will listen when they say the election is in the palm of their hands.

Because Gaza and black people will do so well under Trump.

I'm in

Great show. Hope season 3 eases up with the constant closeups from season 2. Whole conversations with the camera right up the actors nostrils.

I have quite a few that are less than .5%, but this is my most rare.

Yep. Anything that doesn't fit their "get woke go broke" fantasy gets ignored or re-evaluated to be not woke.

Like others said, I'd be asleep. I'd probably try to call them when I woke up and saw it.

Do you think they have Kong-sized dental implants for each of his teeth on hand, to cover any toothache he might suffer?

Good thing Kong got frostbite in his right arm. They didn't make an Ironman glove for his left hand. Luckily it was preloaded with the cure for frostbite too. R&D was on the ball that week.

When they read the ancient prophecy about a girl and her monkey off the cave wall, I couldn't look away. To see that scene being made in 2024 was fascinating. Like seeing someone riding a penny-farthing through your neighborhood.

Honestly that wouldn't be anywhere near the most I've spent on a collectible. I have 8 First4Figures statues, and a couple of those were over $500.

Punching someone in the face actually hurts your hand. I'd have to have some type of personal beef with you, and even then I wouldn't give you $20 for the privilege.

Has Nintendo ever led the pack in performance/graphics?

They did for about 2 months in 2001. Until the Xbox launched.

For me, the most satisfying flop was The Flash. For years Ezra Miller was assaulting people, breaking into homes, grooming children, and just generally behaving like a lunatic. Warner Bros stuck by them every step of the way. Other DC movies were shelved, but not The Flash. They were absolutely determined to get The Flash into theaters. No recasts. They supported Ezra every step of the way, hid them from the press, brought them in for reshoots between court dates. I've never seen a major company show such unwavering support for an obvious piece of shit. There were even suggestions that they'd love to have Ezra back in the role for the new universe.

And then it flopped. Hard. Good.

Red Head Redemption

I fully expect Republicans in the legistlature to invalidate or ignore the results if they don't go their way. Nobody will do a thing about it either.
