No, it wasn't. That's just something the toxics like to say because they can't handle all their theories being wrong.

Agreed, the worst part is that they couldve made the ending at least decent by making Rey kill herself instead of striking down Palpatine and Kylo finishing the job instead and possibly falling deeper into the dark side or something sinister, and not the happy ending they instead went for, with the mandatory "one of the heroes dies just to shut up the critics" forced death of Kylo.

Aww, isa fanboy grumpy cuz a baddie got killed by a girl? Doesoo need a nappie-wappie?

You're admitting you did something. This is not necessarily the same thing you're accused of. "I cannot possibly have ronbed the bank, Your Honor, because at that very moment I was across town burning down the art gallery".

People never seem to get this.

No, people get it. Jist because Teump gets removed does not mean the fight is over. But even so, Pence would represent such a major improvement, just based on day-to-day basic competency and relative non-corruption, that removing Trump alone and going back for the rest at another time would still be worthwhile.

Do think this was 1st or 2nd degree murder?

From the article, he found out, flipped out, and went murder-y in that moment. I'm not entirely sure from the article whether Washington or British Columbia has jurisdiction here, but in either case, that's second-degree. If he'd instead, say, gone and plotted revenge, then come back the next day to kill in cold blood, that would be first-degree.

@EvenSpoonier do you really think this?

"Luke isn't Goku" is a gross oversimplification of what I really think. But it gets the most basic points across, and hoo boy howdy does it piss the toxics off, which is a nice bonus.

You want to stop this? Like, real quick? You find that scene from The Cosby Show where the little girl asks him what race Santa is, and he starts off on a minutes-long joke where Santa matches whatever race the people in the house are, but one time he was visiting a friend's house and Santa arrived and there was much confusion. There are probably still clips of this all over YouTube.

You get those clips going viral again, and shapeshifting-Santa dies yesterday.

Certainly none of the ones I know would want to. I can think of one or two who have been deeply traumatized by some really horrendous stuff in their past, and might acquiesce as a pure fight-or-flight response (or, more to the point, the twisted fight/flee/fawn/**** response). But I assure you there would be nothing "romantic" about it. Donnie would probably get a kick out of it though.

In general? I mean, there are tens of millions of women out there who hate Trump, so by sheer numbers, sure, there are probably a few who would date him if he offered. I would not expect to find many.

Been posting there for years now and its gotten even worse than before. If you say you respect any republican theyll basically call you evil and a traitor to America

I don't get called evil and a traitor. They do have a problem with overgeneralization -that much is true- but I've found that not being a dick generally gets you pretty far. Maybe a little further than you bargained for, because then you get to hear what they say when their guard is down and that's not always pretty. But far all the same.

The leaks are designed to make RoS sound awful. This doesn't necessarily mean they aren't true -I don't have the information to pass that kind of judgment- but true or false, this is being done by toxic fanboys with the intended goal of painting the movie in the worst possible light. All because they're still butthurt that Luke isn't Goku.

I've been a bit out of the loop. They're actually going to impeach him?

Probably, though keep in mind this is just the House, and the Senate Republicans are already lining up some truly shady **** to stop it there.

Though things have started looking weird in the House. This set of articles doesn't seem to reference the Mueller Report, and now people are talking about doing something with that. Does that mean a second impeachment, or withdrawing this one and doing a new set instead? I don't know, and it doesn't sound like anyone else does either.

You say that when a law firm tried to sue the Wall Street Banks for the $43 Trillion dollars.

It does seem to stretch credibility. Not quite outside the realm of possibility, but close enough to the edge to be worth a few grains of salt.

The above said, it's possible that the whistleblower is honestly mistaken about the figure, but correct in all the other details. $100000000000 is a lot of zeroes: an extra zero here could easily yield a sensational headline while unintentionally masking a more believable reality. Definitely worth further investigation, even if I don't expect the final numbers to be anywhere near this high.

Gamescience has built a reputation for supposedly having especially fair dice, but honestly, despite rolling dice a lot in D&D, you still don't roll them enough for random die bias to make a significant difference.

Loaded dice do exist, but any die loaded heavily enough to make a difference in D&D will feel weird in your hands. Like, really weird; I've held a set, and it's unmistakable. It's not like Vegas. You can't afford to be subtle; there aren't enough rolls for that.

If the government can prove beyond a reasonable doubt the video kills who watches it can they charge the uploader with murder?

They could try, though they'd still have to prove all the usual elements of a murder charge, including proving that the video actually caused the deaths of the victims. That might be a tall order.

DeadBankerDream posted...

Theres no laws against using fantasy magic to kill people.

Just about anything can be a murder weapon; there doesn't need to be a specific law stating that it's illegal to use a particular thing as a weapon. You only need to convince the court that it functioned as such.

It sure wasn't people with conservative values who came up with suspending a kid for self-defense.

No, but there's more to the political spectrum than those two groups.

A blanket rule punishing everyone who used violence is not the modern SJW style. They'd instead examine the wider identity groups involved, decide who belonged to whichever group held more privilege according to their current socological narrative, and retroactively declare it that person's responsibility to have de-escalated the conflict. Since they clearly failed to do this (as a fight broke out), they should be the only one punished; the other side was acting in justified rebellion against an oppressor.

Punishing everyone is a far, far more moderate approach. Probably the work of more standard liberals.

I mean, I remember hearing he was somehow involved with organized labor in some capacity, and he disappeared under suspicious circumstances, and putting Jimmy Hoffa's remains into depictions of the bottom of the of the ocean or similar remote places was kind of like the "Epstein didn't kill himself" of his day.

So the real reason, of course, is always that the plot demanded it, but okay, here we go...

SomeGuyUO posted...

why didn't Ant-Man just shrink with the gauntlet in Endgame?

Interacting with the Gauntlet, other than to simply move it, would likely have set it off, killing Ant-Man and possibly reverting the Gauntlet to its normal size anyway. That would be counterproductive.

Kami_no_Kami posted...

Why didnt Old Captain America just take the gauntlet from Tony? By that point hed lived a full life.

Because first he'd have to become Old Captain America, which implies that you've already won the war in some other way (like the one they used, which killed Tony), then sent Cap back with the Stones. Time paradox.

Purely posted...

Why didnt he just shrink inside Thanos's asshole and then grow?

Because by this point Thanos already had access to the Power and Space Stones. Between them, he could likely have negated any growth Ant-Man could have done. This affects Thanus, brain-based attacks, viruses, and what have you.

Chicken posted...

Why didnt they just shoot him in the head?

Thor is a dork.

Monferno_AQW posted...

Why didn't they just travel back to the moment when Thanos was about to pry the Mind Stone off Vision's head and have Thor cut his arm off then and there?

Thanos was already using the Time Stone to bring that moment into being. It is likely that preventing outside temporal incursions into that moment would be a simple task.

TheDoctorIsln posted...

Also, Captain Marvel should have just used the gauntlet when she got a hold of it and snapped. Surely she would have lived.

Captain Marvel is powered by one stone, not all six. Which, now that I think about it, actually leads to a question in its own right: why didn't Thanos just use the Power Stone to shut off the link between the Space Stone and Captain Marvel, rather than go through the beating he took?

PowerOats posted...

Why didn't Thanos use the the Chaos Emeralds when he was pinned down by Captain Marvel?

Everyone, himself included, believes he has to snap, and she has his hand pinned. It's not clear if he really does have to snap, but if he believes that he does, then it might as well be true for all the good it does him.
