Because I'm not spending $100+ for a PS3. Just wondering, should I watch only the cutscenes or gameplay as well?

You would literally miss two thirds of the game if you don't watch cutscenes.

Making only STEM degrees free in a capitalist economy is a fantastic way to dramatically oversaturate STEM fields and make STEM workers much less valuable and much more replaceable.

Isn't that trend already occurring?

Yes, everyone goes for them and now all these STEM grads are crying they can't get work.

You're just reinforcing the assertion that the US isn't normal

"Normal" is just what a collection of people define it as. And in the US, they define how the US functions, by and large, as normal. And if it doesn't match the rest of the world, well the point of countries is for groups of people to have self-determination.

In any normal country this should destroy the politician's life, career and with as many politicians as this show is going to have? It should destroy the party for the next half decade.

DC's mayor got caught smoking crack, and was reelected. The first female governor of Texas was the wife of a guy who was impeached. And probably a dozen more stories. The GOP is going to be fine, and you're going to be triggered the whole way.

That's the one. Thank you.

Could a samurai win? Probably. But given standard armor and weapons, it isn't in their favor. Plate armor makes cutting weapons pretty ineffective.

Not with something as consistently sharp as a genuine katana.

I think so because katanas are engineered and design with more creativity and effort. The katana will slice through the european armor like carving a cake.

You're wrong entirely. Katana, and Japanese swords in general, were NEVER meant to face plate mail like European Knights used. Conversely, the knight's weapons were meant to beat plate armor, however I'm still giving the edge to the knight because a longsword will go through the little plates of metal that compose samurai armor, an ax would also likewise tear up the armor. As for a mace, morning star, or war hammer? Well, it's a giant weight smashing on you. That's gonna hurt you no matter which armor you're wearing.

That's assuming it's a melee fight. If two armies met on the battlefield, of just samurai and knights, I'm giving the edge to the Samurai because they actually preferred the bow until crossbows and later firearms made it obsolete and they had to find a new way to stay relevant.

Because gun bans and semi-automatic bans are unconstitutional, so anyone suggesting them is wasting their time.

the constitution doesn't mention semi-automatic weaponry at all.

No, it mentions arms, as in "armaments." A semi-automatic rifle is an armament. Therefore it is constitutionally protected.

While you are showing a caricature of a person, there are merits to be knowledgeable about firearms and discussing policy changes. Knowing the intricacies of firearms will make a difference in deciding what policies and laws should change.

With that in mind, there are some aspects of regulation and gun control that do not require firearm knowledge to talk about, but most do.

Rarely. Give examples.

Oregon's courts threw out a propossed firearm ban because of bad terminology recently. Namely, they decreed "assault weapon" and "high capacity magazine" are NOT clear terms. Which anyone with even a little firearms knowledge knew already.

Does this cover the use of Stingray devices? I didn't see anything about that.

Also, the practice of "parallel construction" (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_construction) isn't covered. Police have no problem gathering evidence without a warrant (inadmissible) as long as they can build a case with separate evidence.

For example, they *know* that someone is stealing cars and have found the chop shop by tracking them with a Stingray device. They then listen to phone calls to determine when a sale of stolen parts is happening. They wait near the location of the sale, and then bam, "suspicious activity", and "accidentally" uncover a stolen car ring.

This is anecdotal, but it's exactly how it goes down in many cases.

Yeah, and a good lawyer can get the thief off using the poison tree doctrine. That is to say "Any evidence obtained using inadmissible evidence is itself inadmissible."

Anything can be addicting on a mental level.

This is the most ignorant statement given by weed fanatics. I guess you don't think cocaine is addictive since it has no physical withdrawals, right? Getting addicted to cocaine is the same as getting addicted to skateboarding and weed, yes?

One: Not a weed fanatic.
Two: I acknowledge that there is a physical component of addiction for some substances. Please acknowledge that there is in fact a mental one as well

I know many people voted him because in their eyes he was the lesser of the two evils.

Probably not. If Bernie was the nominee, he would probably be the President now.

And we'd be here listening to all the Bernie Bros bitch that Congress won't let him do anything he wants to do. Sanders is a Democrat in name only. I mean, really so is Hillary, but Sanders is an independent who tried to run on a main party. And the only thing Republicans and Democrats ever consistently agree on it's "we're not sharing the pie with anyone else."

Trump got a million less votes than Her.

And if you take NYC out of the picture, Trump wins the popular vote.

so if you take by far the most populated city in the country out of the equation it could potentially change things? hilarious because that is the city trump is from and has always lived in....the people that know him best hate him, makes it look worse for him tbh

NYC is a firm DNC lock. Don't underestimate people's inability to do more than they're told. They're told "vote for the democrat" so they vote for the democrat. Politics is just a game of convincing stupid people you know what's best for them.
