Sure but you cant deny a HxH-style remake would look great. Updated animation, voice acting, music. Itd reintroduce the series to those that didnt get to grow up on it

I rather liked the 90s anime style & the voice acting was top notch, one of the best english dubs around, music was classic as well. Plus the mangaka has essentially peaced out and is in psuedo retirement. I would just leave things be for that show. If the kids want to watch YYH, they should just watch YYH. It doesn't need a remake

A Kenshin remake is now happening? Im patiently awaiting a Yu Yu Hakusho remake

I hope not. Yu Yu Hakusho, at least through the Sensui arc was practically perfect. It can only go down from there. It is kind of the same with Kenshin as well, although season 3 & the ending were legendarily terrible, so at least they can improve on that

Amy is definitely not as fast as Sonic. In Hydrocity she cant gain enough speed to leave the screen.

Isn't she just a reskin of Sonic in this? Typically in most fan hacks she can jump like, a million feet the air and twirl about in the air for some extra hang time, making her the queen of the skies, but she seems pretty basic in this outside of the whole hammer bro super thing. Kinda disappointing

Sounds good to me. I was only speaking from over a decade of experience as a self defense expert and instructor.

What does the self defense manual say about "pimp slapping dem hoes"?

If it wasn't TC I would believe him. I had a 315 one rep max in high school and only weight lifted for 3 years (when I started I had trouble lifting 120). I never thought it was that special, since I was told strong lifters can bench around 2x thier body weight (I weighed 175, so 350 was the goal). My father, who I lifted with, could bench 335 and he was in his late 40s and didn't formally train before me. I did stop benching when I got caught up in college & work after high school, so I am pretty wimpy now though, although it would nice to get into it again some day.

it's sounding like prigozhin got most everything he wanted. putin is basically saying if you rise up and threaten to depose him he will give into most of your demands and let you walk. shows how weak his position is. you love to see it

What did he get really, a promise of safety? There is no way that Putin can allow a person as dangerous as Pringo to live, so it is a promise that will never be kept. Plus the deal will put a large amount of Pringo's army under the ministry of defense, thereby eliminating any way to keep said promise. I would say the agreement is a stay of execution more than anything

Sounds more like sex tourism that user is planning, which generally isnt looked upon favourably

It's not sex tourism. If that Japanese don't wish to repopulate Japan, then it is the mission of us weaboo to do it for them. I take no glee from this solemn duty, but I will bear it with stoic forbearance, knowing in my heart that I am doing the right thing.

I'm almost certain the sub imploded. If it didn't they would've just released ballast and floated up to the surface & activated a rescue beacon. The thought that you could lose your life in mere milliseconds by forces largely out of your control is scary to people, so people tend to go with the hypothesizes that hold out hope for rescue and allow for some degree of control over the chaos.

It's as insidious as it is stupid

Bullshit. I have play enough video games to know that shooting a gas can (especially red barrels) is more than enough to cause them to explode.

Gas stations have blown up before because of cigarettes. I'm not aware of any real incident where a shooting caused an explosion but it absolutely could.

Gas stations can't blow up because of cigarettes. The fire from the cigarette isn't intense enough to light the gasoline. The lighter could set though.

Bullets can't either. Maybe with an incendiary/tracer round, but not a normal bullet.

People underestimate how stable gasoline is as chemical agent. Kinda miraculous that a chemical agent that has so much stored energy is so safe.

The students who can economically afford to spend hundreds of dollars for test tutoring do the best on the test. It's classist gatekeeping

You can say that about everything in this world. Although, if people are spending money on learning and bettering themselves, I can't see how that is a bad thing. A lot of the mega rich cheat the system entirely by just buying thier kids way into the school. At least in your scenario the kid is actually learning something

Euripides posted...

Standardized testing as a gateway to college is silly, as a) you'll never take a standardized test in college and b) you'll never take a standardized test after college. It's proving you're good at something you'll never do again

I completely disagree. Most of college is taking tests, often from some book publisher test bank, so, yeah, you will be taking a lot of tests in college, so better get good at them. Also, the material you study for in the SAT is pretty basic. It is reading comprehension, algebra, basic science, writing, ect. Foundational items, so I hope you aren't forgetting too many of these items because they will be coming up again in your studies and parts of life.

Taking away the SAT has always been a political more than practical one. It is a way to hide bad students under overinflated grades, so the students/school don't look bad. I can't blame teachers & administrators for doing so because the educational system is less about educating and more about being a bullshit barrier to the job market now a days, so the teachers don't want to hurt the student's future by giving them bad grades, but we are lying to ourselves that this has anything to do with proper educational assessment.

Squall28 posted...

Agreed. I've never met a "bad test taker" who was actually knowledgeable about the material. They'll have an incredibly shaky foundation so their confidence about their abilities is just as shaky.

Plus if you suck at taking tests now, then good luck in college. College is like 85% tests & maybe like 15% some lame group project or something. If anything, college is more centered around standardized testing than highschool is. So, hiding kids from standardized tests is only setting them up for failure

I don't see how there can be any objective measure of academic attainment without there being standardized tests. Grades are too arbitrary & teachers are often incentivized to give higher ones for a variety of reasons (making themselves looking good, avoiding getting yelled at parents, sympathy, ect.). Plus I never bought into the, I'm smart, but a bad test taker type. If you really know the material you should be able to do well in testing (I mean, it is just multiple choice after all). It's like saying you are a good player because you are good in practice mode, but you have a losing record when playing online.

It's even more insane than Ninja's because it isn't an exclusive deal. xQc can still stream on Twitch >.>. So he can keep the money and not even take a hit on his Twitch subs. You would think 100 mil would give you at least some exclusivity

Steffenfield posted...

Didn't QXC (sp?) just get a $100 million contract on Kick?

That's more than any sports athlete for a year I think.

Anyway, I see that platform not holding any strength in the streaming market.

Twitch, while terrible, is just too strong.

It has a better chance than most because it at least has a nitch (Gambling) that Twitch doesn't have and the banned streamers & those on the more risque side can go over there. But agree for the most part. The Prime subs just make it too profitable for most Twitch streamers to leave (not even factoring the audience retention hit) and I doubt that these big contracts for top streamers will pay off, I mean, it certainly didn't work out for Mixer and the XQC stream isn't exactly bringing in that much for his debut on Kick, so it seems like history repeating itself there

Me: What's a dumb whale going to do to a boat. *watches video of Orca deliberately destroying the boat's rudder*. Well, I stand corrected

You have to click them everywhere in order to advance?

You just got to to use your imagination. Be the porn director you always wanted to be

I always figured it was an act. He acts like a degenerate neet because his audience is largely composed of degenerate neets. Obviously if he wanted to he could live in a mansion with a maid to clean everything up, but he can't because it would f with the character he has built up. I mean the dude has done out of character things before such dating hot chicks and owning and running a few side buisnesses, but he has to keep it on the DL because it would trigger his audience who have a crabs in a bucket mentality for these things, so he has to stream in his parents house and eat cheap steaks dispite obviously having to the means to avoid such things. The man is a larper

I don't think he is going to get any punishment. The legal theory they are prosecuting him under is dubious. A police officer would've been protected under qualified immunity, so they are trying to make him out to be a caregiver to circumvent this protection, but I don't think anyone thinks of cops as caregivers to the general public, heck, I wouldn't even consider teachers this and they interact with the students far more.

Whether he deserves it is another matter. Everyone thinks the dude should be some John Mclane figure, but SROs are pretty much a low risk retirement potion they give to old geezers that couldn't cut it in any departments. I don't think HR realistically expects them to be going against armed bad guys. Regardless, even if you do think he should get some punishment for his cowardness a life sentence is ridiculous.

Welp, in the ocean 20 miles from Baffin Island. So long cruel world

I been letting myself go lately, but I am determined to push the weight down, although, whether it stays down is another issue

I feel it wouldn't have changed much. Slavery was already an anachronistic institution that was going away in most of the world, so I couldn't see it lasting too much longer in America and race relations were largely bungled post Civil war anyways by having a racist in the name of Andrew Johnson in charge of reconstruction. He was pretty much a confederate in everything, but name anyways, so not much different there. It would've left a black mark on the country though and would've poisoned race relations even more than they are now.

Why does this topic have so many posts

It's an interesting mystery. Something different from the multitude of outrage topics at least, although at this time I suppose it has been viewed from every conceivable angle, so is losing a bit of its luster

Seems like a pretty cut and dry case of political speech. I don't see how this shirt could be construed in any way to coming from Trump's brand, it's clearly critiquing him

Everyone kinda sucks in the video. The dude behind the camera is just some annoying Frank Hassel wanna be. The dude with skateboard speaks like he his a lame horror movie villain and holds the skateboard like it is the bloody Muramasa katana or something. Nothing happens, but the stupid camera man is crying bloody murder. Just a stupid video with no payoff

Because most people that fall off boats aren't reported right away, so the boat can go quite far away or the sea the person fails into is extremely cold, so they can't survive really long. In this case it was reported almost immediately and the water is quite temperate. Plus it helps that that this occurred in a calm set of ocean, so the kid would have a reasonable time spotting the boat's lights and could swim towards it. Probably could see the boat a mile or two away if it was a clear night. If not, he could wait for the day to come & chopper. If the kid didn't get attacked by sharks he would've more likely than not survived the ordeal given the circumstances.

Well, it is other stores not just Wal-Mart, they just are the store than seems to have invested the most in security measures & have thier inventory the most locked down. Regardless, I want B&M to succeed. I don't want the entire retail space to be the Amazon empire, but if it the shopping experience is major pain like it often is in B&M, I feel like people will be forced to go to Amazon more and more and it isn't exactly like they are a rose garden either.

Okay, I mainly was referring to the post above mine about stealing chocolate bars every day.

Huge scale theft like that is bad yeah.

What, a buck a day is huge theft? I think stores are more worried about the gangs of people that come in with giant shopping carts, load them with a ton of merch and get out with thousands of dollars of stolen goods. The police aren't going to bother with crap like this, so the store will have to eat it all. It is why if you go to a Wal-Mart or the like, everything is practically locked up now a days. I've seen items as low as $5 locked within security cages. Makes it a pain in the butt to buy anything

I mean, it is pretty much expected. LCS has been a joke forever: terrible players, no viewership, no money, ect. Heck, the teams themselves are barely composed of Americans because the American top players don't want to play in it, preferring to stream instead, so it is an American sports league largely composed of foreign nationals who couldn't cut it on other teams, how exciting. Riot has been already making steps to slowly kill it off, so it is only a matter of time till it is gone for good. I would be surprised if it is around in 2024

Think I read you have about 15 minutes in open water under ideal circumstances. Then throw in the fact you cant see the waves coming at you and anticipate them.

No way. This is not the arctic circle we are talking about, we are talking the Caribbean, near the Bahamas. Water is pretty much equivalent to a luke warm bath, quite pleasant. Dude could easily last overnight all things equal, just has to float on his back. Not that I am giving him days out in the open sea, since he will be pretty badly dehydrated from all the booze that got him in the situation in the first place, but 15 minutes? Give the man a little more credit than that

NO2_Fiend posted...

Pretty sure thats a white frothy splash of water because it comes up with his feet like a splash would and looks real thin. I'll give you that it is possible he kicked its head back down the literal second it popped up an the grainy look of the image could possibly effect how solid the wave/head looks. He definitely gets pulled under by something a few seconds later. I grabbed a screen just at the last miillisecond you see him, still very clearly in frame but almost completely blacked out as he's clearly sinking.

Dude could swim well enough to not just sink annnnd pretty sure that boat was a sailboat so no giant propeller underneath and not much else would drag a man down. Like I said most likely a shark I just don't see the bugger.... unless it was the wave looking thing I mentioned.

Yeah, I rewatched the video and I saw the same scene. Dude is in frame, clear as day, then immediately vanishes while still in frame. Not a slow fade out, just ,boom gone, like he got dragged down or something. Dude almost certainly was attacked. I would bet many a Quatloo on that, given his general behavior & the video segment you referred to. Nice catch

It's all Zoomer crap. Millennials are still half way grounded, since a lot of us actually grew up before the internet was a thing, so have some perspective. Zoomers pretty much have been plugged in since infants, so undoubtedly have had thier brain lobotomized by social media. Not that it matters, no one cares about the Millennials anymore. We're pretty much the forgotten generation now a days. People only care about the Zoomers now and just punch down on the Millennials when they are feeling bad, but, hey, we can take it.

You definitely have the right mentality. You will definitly be doing a lot of grinding that is for sure. Got through most of Next Gen on EO 1, DS9 on 2. Never played 3 though, I guess that would be Voyager. Can't say I would look forward to that.
