Yes. Bloodlust. "Gaza needs tons of bombs instead of aid" is a deplorable thing to say about innocent human beings.

Where did he say bombs are for innocent lives?

Of course Gaza needs aid. It normally doesn't come from the enemy in a war, though. And enemy still holding hostages and have scores of missing people to account for. Which is kinda the point of the statement.

"You started this, and you can end it, but nothing until then", more or less.

And yes, I'm DA.

Google Translate is wrong? Or are you saying it's a doctored photo (it could be, idk)

No, just that the context of Israel brining bombs (and the war in general) until hostages are released is strangely glossed over by the person re-tweeting it, which is kinda big context.

Bloodlust.

Tbf, that's not what that tweet says, and the dude reposting it glazes over the part about freeing hostages. Reporting honestly is hard I guess.

I'm more impressed by how much she makes off of her account. If that daily amount is consistent, then she's making nearly a quarter of a million annually, after tax.

But no, if I was single, I wouldn't sleep with her. I need commitment before sex and she doesn't sound ready to settle down with a lifestyle like that

Popular ones during Covid times made much more than that, even. Plenty still do.

Woops, I read that as 100, not 1000. My bad.

1000 is basically undoable.

how much sex do you think couples have ffs jfc

I wouldn't say that is THAT unusual. I hit that number.

There isn't much need to ask why. They're scared of unions because it takes control away from them. They've become as large as they have by cutting as many corners as they can legally get away with, particularly when it comes to wages and employee welfare. Unions take power away from them, limiting their ability to watch their 10-figure bottom lines keep going up indefinitely, and they don't like that. Any narrative they spin about how unions cost employees so much or are somehow bad for them is 100% propaganda to protect their bottom line, not any sort of genuine concern for their employees (usually, those concerns are outright false, since on average union wages exceed non-union wages by significantly more than their dues).

It's extra cute coming from Wal-Mart, the largest employer of people on welfare by a Kentucky mile.

Meh, I'd be her 301 *shrug*

This how mainstream media and the big powers desensitize people to what Israel is doing. Oh, its alright cause it was a hospital ran by Hamas. No big deal. Kinda funny how they all say the same thing

What they are pointing out, if anything, is that this report is coming from Hamas...you know, the terrorist organization that started this recent war. I.e., take the validity of the report with a big lump of salt.

Fin_Dawg_004 posted...

Hilarious

You think Israel *isn't* getting an outpouring of good will from countries around the world?

War reporting is always messy and prone to misinformation and misidentification, so I'll wait before getting irate about this. That said, Israel does have a long habit of snatching defeat from the jaws of defeat, and wouldn't be surprised if they fucked up their cause and good will...again.

It only takes 4 backstabs to give Jeffries a majority by the way. That ironically seems like the path of least resistance.

I imagine whatever 4+ did would need to do so all at once, and end it in a fell swoop. 1 getting out of line would be jumped on quickly.

Despite their blatant power grabs, nothing scares Repubs more than actually having to govern

This. I forget the name, but an ex-GOP Congressman this week went on the network news and said the GOP prefers to be the minority, so they can say "No!" and yell and cry. They don't want to govern. They don't know how. Their entire identity, and the reason anyone votes for them, is to "own the libs", and air fabricated grievances.

I'm not in touch with modern cartoons for that age group to weigh in on the differences, but golden-age Nickelodeon was amazing.

Yes, I'm in one. In the film industry, you basically have to be, which is great since it's already a crazy industry WITH union protections.

In terms of current events, my opinion of the Hollywood guilds is extremely low at the moment.

I would be curious as to why, if it's disliking the strikes disrupting content, or figuring the demands of the WGA/SAG are too much, or...?

BoomerKuwanger posted...

The whole premise of the topic is admittedly silly because it's basically a complete guess as to which of the two would take it, so I bet people are just voting for the one they liked more. They've been pretty equally positioned as contenders

Which is what I asked. Are we talking about the poll GameFAQs will inevitably do on the subject? Or what IGN thinks? GameInformer? An aggregate of all reviewers?

ParanoidObsessive posted...

Hollywood also claimed that Return of the Jedi has literally never produced a profit.

As someone who works in this biz, I can confirm. This even happens on the on-the-ground level I work again, as opposed to the broader studio level the Wiki is citing. Movie math is wild.

Everything is relative man when you say things like "tons". Previous Zelda entries got wide spread attention that you would see even if you didn't actively go looking for it. This entry was pretty silent, no one was talking about it in the wider gaming sphere that I saw. It didn't get as much attention as BG3 did and I feel pretty justified in feeling surprised when it's getting put up as GOTY against a game getting so much attention for going above and beyond when totk sounds fairly average.

All this does is to show bias in what gamesphere you dwell in. As said, it's all relative. In reality, TotK is STILL hugely talked about, and the immediate months that followed had an enormous amount of articles and content published about a variety of aspects with the game, but mostly the Ultrahand ability that allows you to create insane vehicles, contraptions, and whatnot. Korok abuse became/is a widespread meme and viral aspect of the game alone. Entire TikTok channels were/are devoted to showing builds and gameplay elements, secrets still being discovered, etc. It's social following and cultural impact has been massive.

Both have died down as of late, due to the time lapse since both were released. BGIII's initial blitz was about the story, face animations, how well it incorporates DnD battle mechanics, and of course, perhaps above all else, who you can have sex with.

But in a broad context, the TotK reception has been anything but silent.

progamer2290 posted...

Which one do you think youre going to win?

Win what and how? Like, a specific reviewer's GotY ranking? And aggregate of all publications GotYs? Personal taste on what I think vs. the court of public opinion?

For me, the consensus was it is TotK's to lose, and still is. It is the sequel to an already consensus GotY game, and improved upon it in virtually every way, in new and exciting ways.

Not that BGIII doesn't deserve heaps of praise, especially for showing a strong focus on storytelling and really laying into traditional DnD experience in game form. But it has a ton of bugs, glitches, and performance issues, and a lot of clunky and unintuitive mechanics and UI. It's hard to award a game like that GotY...but not as if the review industry hasn't done that before *glares at Bethesda games*.

If anything, I can see reviewers being swayed to give it to BGIII, to "encourage" and "reward" more games like it being, whereas TotK is too "familiar."

For me personally, I struggled to finish BGIII for a variety of reasons.

Hey Arnold! ?

lol, this has to be for a book deal or something. No way this dude thinks he has a chance.

Blightzkrieg posted...

This is kind of the consequence of segregationist policies though

Not untrue. A big flaw was either not making the entire area Israel, and telling everyone there to either accept that or leave (obviously not a super great approach), or formally make the non-Israel land a new nation of Palestine when Israel was made...or cede Gaza to Egypt or something. Leaving it up in the air, either way, was a mistake.

darkknight109 posted...

Depends on your definition of "Palestine".

There has been a place called Palestine (or regional variations thereof) more or less uninterrupted since Antiquity, with the term first showing up in Egyptian records in the 12th century BC. That said, was there ever an independent country named Palestine pre-WW1? No, not really - not unless you go way back in history (and even then that's questionable, given that the idea of "nations" is a relatively modern one).

Bingo. There's long been a regional name for the area, but never any sort of nation or even "Palestinian" identity until Israel. Essentially, to be Palestinian now mean "people who live in the Gaza area who aren't Jewish."

Israel didn't exist before WW2

To be fair, neither did Palestine.

Hell yeah

I'm surprised anyone cares at least about the WiiU, it seems to make sense. But I took for granted how many are playing Mario Maker. Man, wish I played that more.

Mine should be cool.

More than any other FromSoft game, pretty much any boss can be either near impossible or trivial depending on your build setup

Yeah, this polarization always feels weird. And kind of unfair if you're stuck with a "bad" set up, due to how much effort is needed to switch builds.

They also have one of the lowest re-offending rates in the world

They keep their old prisons open as a museum to remember how barbaric they used to be.

Basically this. Prisons are supposed to be to remove problem.pepple from society for a set time. Not to punish, per se, but that's how it's come to be viewed. And then people why re-offense rates are so high, and crime and homelessness or released prisoners.

If referees were allowed to rewrite the rules of a sport arbitrarily in the middle of the game and threaten to bankrupt everyone who came out to watch. Then sure, yeah.

If anything, I think the American response to Ukraine from the average citizen to be more than what I expected, considering prior i would have guessed maybe 2/5 could even find it on a map.

I really don't know what the Dems that voted him out were thinking though. Just an opportunity for worse.

McCarthy said he would accept no offer from the ems to save him, so it kinda left them little choice. And it politically helps them.

The first time a speaker has been removed in US history is because *checks notes* McCarthy had the audacity to agree with the Democrats to not shut down the government.

This is the state of the GOP. Domestic terrorists.

Doom came out 4 years before Goldeneye wtf are you talking about

Now now, I didn't say it was the first, my child. And Doom was PC.

It's more odd that Apple is so popular in America, when that drops off hard in the rest of the world. And even then, they maybe only have 50% of the phone base, which would be the first time that's happened since the iPhone came out.

Europeans enjoy stronger consumer protection laws. Apple is notoriously anti-consumer. Seems pretty straightforward to me.

This, and this is the first I've heard of Europeans "hating" Apple.

At least the EU forced them to adopt USB-C.

It kind of has been, actually. There was a period where being a singer-songwriter was popular, but ghostwriters have been around for centuries.

Sure, the mold was broken, and for a good stretch emphasis on original artists and discovering (as opposed to manufacturing) acts was king. It has since regressed from these times. Hence my point. Hardly anything can compete for sheer cultural dominance these days like the mass-produced stuff can.

ai123 posted...

No it wasn't.

Hence why I said, "more or less."

Gray_Areas posted...

That's hardly true. Plenty of songs, especially in each era's version of the "pop" genre, have had ghost writers and been written by committee for decades.

Indeed, but "Pop" wasn't the dominate genre in every era, and even then, had strong, culturally-defining competitors that also were household songs and ruled the airwaves. We've slowly been marching to the least-common denominator in that regard.

lolife67 posted...

Yeah, this sounds like you really don't know your musical history.

Fun fact: The dude that (co-)wrote "Shake It Off" also wrote "...Baby One More Time", "I want it That Way", "I Kissed a Girl", and "It's Gonna Be Me", among many, many others. 1 dude has dominated the charts and your ears for decades now, because it's all the same stuff.

Welcome to the music industry. It didn't always used to be this way, though.

NoxObscuras posted...

Sure if you only listen to Pop music. There's so many different genres out there that have plenty of variety and much of it isn't on the radio

That's always been the case. But the top hits, the stuff that dominates the Top 40, is not. Hence this topic and my point. Just like Swift becomes a cultural norm and dominates the charts and attention for a reason.

Tenlaar posted...

This remains, to be frank, an incredibly dumb take. Modern music is not any one thing and its certainly not all radio-friendly stuff. Straight up old man yells at clouds stuff.

Don't be dumb and split hairs. The modern top hits like Swift and her ilk. Come on, connect the dots.

Questionmarktarius posted...

That shit's been going on for as long as radio has been going on.

Sure, but at least then, it was music with actual substance, made by actual bands who write and create their own music, more or less. Every top hit these days is 100% the product of a producer or phantom song-writer that have distilled a pop hit down to a science. It's basically the lifeless and inorganic K/J-Pop model, but with the illusion of authenticity.

Is what it is. Modern music is just the over produced and radio-friendly stuff like Swift and her ilk, and it's gotten worse over the years. But there's no signs showing that this formula will disappear.
