Im not trying to call you out in case Im wrong, but is calling it Battleship instead of Battlestar a reference to something I dont know

You're correct, but my brain can't comprehend what a "battlestar" is, since said battlestar is neither a big ball of burning plasma, nor particularly star shaped, ala, History of the World, Jews in Space. The "battlestar" is quite ship like by my determination, one may even refer to it as a battleship mistakenly

Well... Even as a BSG reference, it would still be a 4 letter word.

Frack(ing) refers to a form of shale gas mining. Although under the current rules, it might be too much of a political issue.

Ah ,yes, shale miners. Most of my enemies are them, the mother shale mining variety

Ex post facto enforcement of rules is unjustifiable and kind of Orwellian if you think about it.

Oh shit I'm being political.

I mean, it isn't like you are going to get a judge or jury for any of these moderations anyways, it is more like a dictator's whim. Granted, now a days the mods are more lenient, but I have had some absolutely stupid ones in the past, like get a mod for using the word "frack". They called it a censor bypass, but it is mostly a Battleship Galactica reference if anything. What a bunch of losers, not even knowing about Battleship Galactica

$20, for endless shrimp and they were still losing millions? Bro, how much shrimp did these guys eat? I can get whole bags of shrimp for like $10

Haven't watched since I unsubbed years ago, but it's still sad to hear. I got into them around 2013 and fell completely off after Burn left. I didn't necessarily dislike the new additions, but a lot of the content was missing that "friends dicking around" aspect.

Rip Funhaus though.

Same. Without Burnie the crew didn't have the right chemistry for me. Not too uncommon of an opinion either, since a lot of people stopped tuning in after he left. Doesn't surprise me Rooster Teeth is closing

Honestly, I'm expecting this won't even change that much for most social boards in the long run, gradual death of CE aside. For the first few weeks there'll be efforts to close "political" topics, and particularly butthurt posters may be able to get rid of posts/topics they don't like by marking them as political, but long-term I doubt it'll be worth mods' time to actively police boards where nobody has any problems and stamp out political discussions and we can probably just keep posting as normal. It certainly wouldn't be the first time that official policies don't exactly amount to much (like committing to removing problematic ads), and while I expect there'll be a concerted effort to keep up appearances in the early days, I doubt it'll last.

That is what I figure. It seems like some corporate wide policy that is being foolishly applied to Gamefaqs. It may make sense on some of thier wikias and the like, but on Gamefaqs social boards, it doesn't make much sense. Especially, since I feel like at this point, since the user base has dwindled to just the most die hard, trolling and flaming are just much less of a thing (at least to the extreme ends), so there is much less need to manage the discussion compared to something a little bigger that could easily get out of hand. We are just one big happy family here :)

he voted for bill clinton and ended up voting for obama at least once

he also had multiple casinos fail, so he was never a fiscal conservative

Yeah, I just find the idea of Trump being some type of spend thrift hilarious. The man doesn't have a thrifty bone in his body. But I have heard the arguments that he is before IRL. I guess people just attribute whatever the F to him no matter how ridiculous.

Muscles posted...

He didn't need to print the extra money that started this crazy inflation. At the very least he could have done something since then to help but this economy is shit. Gas, food, and housing prices are all out of hand and he has done nothing about it.

I just don't see Trump as a viable alternative in this regard. Trump spent like a drunken sailor during his four years as a president, even while times were supposedly good and during his business days always seemed ridiculously overleveraged and indeed went bankrupt several times. I could never see him being a fiscal conservative. It seems to be in his nature to spend like a madman.

Both presidents are pretty mediocre, but at least with Biden, I feel like he would at least listen to his advisors or defer if he is out of his element. Trump is ridiculously arrogant, so he does not listen to anyone, partly why his cabinet was always in chaos until he filled it with a bunch obsequious low lifes. Also why the only long term business partners he seems to have is his family. If he could fill his cabinet with his family members I am sure he would, but ultimately he has to work with other people and he seems to be very poor at this

Makes me not trust Trump with any type of crisis. His handling of Covid was extremely disjointed and no matter what camp you were in, wasn't satisfactory. He mostly lucked out because he didn't have to deal with much during his administration and I attribute that more to luck of the draw than any type of proactive problem solving. He always felt reactionary on most issues, not the contemplative proactive type

They conclude they will be caught if they do it
because of the problem of disposing of a body

It's actually pretty hard to catch most serial killers. The fact that there is little to connect them to the crime makes it very hard to tie the crime and ultimately catch them. They kind of have to get caught in the act most of the time. A lot of the famous serial killers have a double digit body count and there are quite a few that were never caught. Thankfully, serial killers are pretty rare, at least to the best of our knowledge.

Looks like it is inside out

I always have viewed America's educational system as the Hufflepuff of educational systems: it may not produce the smartest graduates, but it tries to ensure as many people get post secondary educational attainment as possible, as that was seen as the path to financials success and thereby social mobility for the longest time ,and it does a pretty good job at this, as we are very high in the worldwide rankings when it comes to this metric.

Other countries are much more selective on who goes into university and are much more into concepts such as tracking. Heck, there are countries that are quite content to throw people into the workforce before high school if thier grades were not good enough with the only university they may see being the inside of the university bathroom that they are cleaning. These things would never fly here for better or worse

Empirically untrue

Empirically true. Our whole foreign policy has been based off keeping most of the world weak militarily and monopolizing power. It is a symbiotic relationship: the countries protected can focus more on domestic issues and America can pump its military (the biggest employer in the US and the biggest part of our discretionary budget). Plus America can't stand being told what to do on just about anything, so under this system they can boss everyone around without fear of being bossed around themselves. It is pretty much new world order, but America is the order. Things like the expansion of China and the war in Ukraine have put stress on the system a bit, but it still is very much in play and I can't see it going away any time soon

Giant_Aspirin posted...

the point here is not about whether fast casual counts as fast food. the point is that these places are blatantly greedy.

They can charge whatever they want, it isn't like fast food is essential to life. In fact they are quite unhealthy for life most of the time, so it is probably best that people avoid them.

Also, I would argue inflation has been much higher during that time frame in my personal experience. Rent alone has practically doubled in my area in that time frame for instance and that is like half my budget, so unless the government is expecting me to live under an overpass I am just not buying thier figures

They were deliberately lied to by the executive branch. They voted on the (dis)information they had at the time. Grow up

Agreed. The jingoism was also at a fever pitch at the time as well, so you weren't exactly going to be getting many kudos by taking a principled stance against the war. It is actually scary how much under Bush's spell the country was at the time. Of course since we now know how the story ends, it seems silly, but people were lapping up everything Bush was selling at the time. I can definitely see how people can get wrapped up in fascism regimes, it had a very similar feel at the time, even if you break the brainwashing, you are going to find nothing but hatred and difference directed at you if you choose to oppose the entrenched party and most people just don't have the stomach to endure that.

There's definitely an argument to be made for going into Afghanistan after 9/11 but not Iraq.

We were definitely going into Afghanistan after 9/11, but it should've been a punitive mission to eliminate Bin Laden and other high ranking Al-Qaeda officials, not the whole nation building thing. But I suppose Bush couldn't admit defeat after Bin Laden escaped our clutches after the bungle job that was Tora Bora so needed an alternative goal to work towards.

I actually like the replays often more than the initial experience. In the initial experience, your run often is a bit discombobulated and poorly executed, whereas on replay you are like Seal Team 6, a well oiled machine: you know what exactly to do and feel like a rockstar. Although, I suppose it is a bit of personality thing: the experiencer vs. the perfecter.

Damn there is some serious gaslighting going on this thread

No one cares: He didn't kill or significant injure anyone, which is lucky for his own sake. No one expects the athletes famous for taking repeated blows to the head to necessarily the smartest decision makers, but hopefully he learns from his folly and decides to keep the speed racer routine to the race track next time or at least pull over if he is involved in an accident.

Your actions speak louder than your words. Prove you support the lesser genocide by voting for Biden. If you dont, you prove you support the worse genocide. Thats all there is to it

I always vote the lessor of the two genocides

MrToothHasYou posted...

Possibly. I dont think any serious amount of people are considering that Trump would be a better alternative, but I do think theres a significant portion who will not vote at all or vote 3rd party/write-in because they wont be able to stomach supporting a candidate who enabled genocide so freely.

It's also the fact that most of the older demographics, aka the ones who vote, probably don't view it is as harshly of a light: it's either they have been brainwashed to believe Isreal is God's righteous instrument, believe it is in the US' strategic interests to support Isreal or that it is self defense for the Israelites. Regardless, they spent thier whole life in a sea of CIA and military intrigue, so aren't exactly going to be making much a moral grandstand about it, it is just business for them. It is more of a problem for the younger generation and they don't vote anyways or will be scared by Trump enough to vote for Biden, so the Israel situation is a non issue

It doesn't matter. Foreign policy is mostly a non issue when it comes to voting; the economy is all the really matters. And lets be real, it isn't like Trump would be any different on the issue, he was extremely pro-Isreal while in office. Both parties are pretty much agreement on the issue

It must be very damn depressing for the sister whos not married, but it still brings up a lot of questions. Non married sister is STILL consenting to sex with her body by her brother in law. Does she mind? Does she want or has a partner of her own? Does the brother in will feel like its cheating if she does? Sooo much stuff, but if it works for them then good.

I would imagine they both are into him. You kinda have to be in this situation. Having another partner would be very difficult. Maybe the twins would be into it, but for the dudes it would be like some awkward time share agreement.

When it comes down to economics both parties are corporatists, so are quite willing compromise if it means helping out their benefactors. Even on some of the side stuff it is mostly Kubuki theater, a lot of wind is exchanged, but ultimately nothing meaningful in terms of actual substance. Like illegal immigration for instance. The Republicans will talk the talk, but when it comes down to it, they like the cheap labor that comes along with it, so don't legislate against it too harshly. Dispite the increased drama, I see more similarities than differences amongst the parties now a days.

I don't think it is a great comparison. Zimmerman never took very well to the lime light. His schemes of monetization seemed mostly to stave off bankruptcy as the trial completely drained him financially and destroyed his reputation.
