Its like he thinks the children of rich and powerful people don't have advantages and opportunities that we will never have.

Funny how people you thought were reasonable change real quickly when it's their sacred cow.

Wtf do you honestly think Hunter Biden has to offer a natural gas board in Ukraine aside from a launder?

He has his name.

Lol that list wtf

I can think of different ways. Genies are all contract. It artificially extends it, potentially takes magic power even if it does "nothing"

Did you see Rep. Mike Turners questioning of Sondland?

No one on this planet told you that President Trump was tying aid to investigations, yes or no?

Yes, Sondland responded.

So, you really have no testimony today that ties President Trump to a scheme to withhold aid from Ukraine in exchange for these investigations? Turner pressed.

Other than my own presumption, Sondland replied.

Guys, serious question: is somebodys presumptions enough to prove anything? If someone simply feels a certain way about whether or not a crime took place, thats enough to definitively say that it did?

Edit: spelling, its Sondland, not Sonland.

This isn't simply "somebody " this is one of the prime conspirators saying what he understood his orders to be . Your framing of the situation is radically different than the reality.

Reddit released a public statement that they will not censor the news

But then private messaged the moderators of thedonald (and others) that anyone who posts the name of the whistleblower will be banned

:s

Good

My problem isn't what they're doing, but that they chose to lie to the press

They didn't lie. The law says the whistleblower is to be protected, no one with basic ethics is going to allow people to post names they believe to be the whistleblower.

Gen 3 was pretty much just water.

Kale is gross as fuck arugula is ok, I like spinach the best though.

This isn't even a little surprising.

I've never gone on a safari.

There are some youtubers who started uploading to pornhub

I'll have to see what it is adding.

Despite his efforts to seemingly try to spark WW3 by pulling out of South Korea when they fail to pay his absurd demands. Seems like China is willing to step in and block it and gain power while Trump gives our power up.

Wow.

How stupid is she? Part of it is because we don't have the full context here but I just don't understand why she felt the need to say that.

Could have said "Racial slurs fall under free speech. The government will not fine or jail them but they don't escape the response their employers or peers may have to their words." Instead she just makes a bizarre hateful statement.

She uses a bizarre hateful statement as an example. Shes doesnt just make it arbitrarily to insult anyone in particular. Her mistake was believing that she could use such an example in an educational setting where freedom of speech has gone out the window decades ago and strict conformity is the new big thing.

Yea "LIBERALS HATE FREEDOM OF SPEECH"

So glad Walmart's stance on guns and ammo has prevented the shootings. Gun control really works

Imagine thinking comments like this were rational or meant anything.

As far as difficulty I've only seen one guy comment about it and he said "There isn't enough trainers to level you up so you might struggle if you don't battle wild pokemon between gym battles".

Which didn't really tell me much to be honest.

People keep saying fire/fighting.

I thought it was just fire?

Ummmmm... Trump wasn't even a Mayor

Trump was decided before he even entered the race.
I assume you listened to CNN and didn't read Wikileaks lol.

I don't know that I have ever elected to read russian propaganda.

There are definitely trends through years with many shades but not really hard lines.

I enjoyed the new Spider-Man and Tomb Raider along with HZD, but thats the majority of my enjoyment for this gen even though I have many games. Debating on the new Star Wars but the Souls comparison turns me off.

You're not the only one, someone saying "It's like souls" is enough to kill any interest I have in a game.

for example ProJared got implicated in something last year and before he could even respond the writers already had an article and the comment section was pretty toxic

a year later he cleared his name with a lawyer or whatever
but it's just publicity like that

I wouldn't call it "cleared" but the stuff being said about him was definitely worse than reality.

Hes right though. Going too far left will alienate the middle. A moderate democratic candidate is the best bet to win the election.

Bull. Shit.

Hilary was the moderate candidate in 2016. Almost no one is fires up to vote for Biden and going with him is a great way to get voters to stay home in 2020.

The whole idea of moderate electability is absolute nonsense because conservatives are never gonna vote for anyone even slightly left of center.

And Dems won't vote for anyone slightly right of center.

You arent wrong

I'm sick of politics. I'm sick of MSM. And I'm sick of blind loyalty. Just look at all the people shitting on Obama on Twitter right now. If he said "Too far left" 10 years ago those people would be praising him.

Times change.

yea democrat party changed into communist party. so obama wisely warned against going full communist.

also hillary was a known evil, horrible person. imagine being more horrible than trump. she's pathetic.

lol wtf

I'd dump the starter as soon as possible

I think Democrats would vote for basically anything that isn't trump this election personally.

The cut off should probably be halo its when I feel fps or otherwise simple games began to really take over the industry.

Possibly.

They may lose some, but I do believe they will get a net gain. Or at the very least they drop some moochers eating up their bandwidth who were never going to pay no matter what.

It's difficult for me to see them taking a big loss.

No they won't. It would be the same exact same situation as piracy. If they stopped the people from sharing the passwords then there's no evidence the people who were getting access for free would be buying the service anyway.

I wasn't going to go all in with the "NO" because I could understand what he was saying with "one person buying one service and another a different and them sharing"

But yea, if they don't have to run a server to stream movies to a bunch of people getting it for free it's a net gain even if the move doesn't translate into increased subscribers.

Anyone a solid "right" and left of that is going to be a leftist or a "rino" to Trump republicans. Trying to run center/center-right candidates making comments that basically equate to "I'm not interested in fighting for you" isn't going to earn votes.

Obama won by having a vision, be basically ran on health care and he won.

Do they actually think anyone knows who Deval Patrick is?

I thought they were setting up Kamala Harris as the presumptive nominee going into this last year and we see how she did. Giving us people they want to win isn't going to work. People need to fucking earn our votes.

Instead of trashing the people we like, how about they try giving us reasons to vote for the people they like? I have no clue why Biden is running or what he thinks he offers. I know why Bernie and Warren are running.

It's like he doesn't know most businesses don't have individual standalone computers for all their employees but desktops that all run on server space.

I think they think that by stopping sharing (or gimping it), it will probably double or triple the amount of accounts. But I think theyll end up with less. Some people only share because it helps get multiple streaming sites. Or because it makes it cheaper altogether. And stuff like that. They may lose customers...

So no links?

spoiler alert: they're not going to link you because all the shit they're talking about either doesn't exist or is being massively overblown

So I actually was expecting to just go to google with "Why do people hate Kotaku?" and get an article immediately with sources explaining it so I could shove it back at you.

But that didn't happen, apparently this actually isn't easy to look up.

I don't care enough or really remember at this point what articles I can suggest to prove a point. My opinion on Kotaku was solidified years back, they have one really good investigative journalist Shrier or something I don't recall exactly. The rest of their stuff is click baity garbage that tends to be aimed at attacking the general gaming audience with excessive SJW bull shit.

If TC likes Kotaku, whatever I don't care. I don't think anyone feels compelled to try "proving" to him anything. Proving shit to people on the internet tends to be an exercise in futility anyways.

What a dumb ass argument. Being rescutated against his will is unrelated to his sentence and that needs to be taken up separately.

Also lol professor primus.

The last thing we need is someone telling us "You need to reign in your hopes, I'm not going to fight for you" against a guy who is going to promise crazy shit, lie every time he opens his mouth, and fight for those people who support his horrible platform.

Idk what a deer stand is... unless you mean you were literally in a tree fort hunting deer.

Is there any other kind of deer stand?

I've heard of a few. I think big bang is the only one I know any song titles from though.

I don't believe he had sexual interest in children. What he did was fucked up, but he was fucked up, just look at his face.

South park probably gave a fairly accurate representation of who he was.

Lol people pretending they have never heard of kpop.

Never heard this before.

Need tariffs on companies like this.

We currently have a president from a political party that actively campaigns against education.

They just want a shitshow with their base pissed off. They can't defend trump all they can do is try to keep their base.

I'd wager most of the people here are too old to have seen it.

They deserved to lose for cheering that piece of shit

Oh I haven't seen Erik for a while, he actually did it?

I don't actually have any clue what kind of game Death Stranding is supposed to be.

I'm uh just cracking up and laughing.

Legit though I can't figure out if this thread is supposed to be real.
