And how long have they been at each other's throats? Longer than Biden's been alive, right?

Well that's not true. Biden was a senator in an era where the two parties were less neatly divided on ideology.

It's a shame nobody from the Obama administration told him what to expect

They don't want the same things.

At that scale, fines are effectively a tax on residents (and those passing through, I guess).

I had a Wii, and then basically didn't game except for FIFA in college, so I have very little familiarity with that era of gaming. I've only played a couple games that were backwards compatible on Xbox One: RDR, Skate 3, Forza Horizon

Bonus points if I can play it on Switch or Series X or a basic non-gaming laptop

The Dark Side boss rush wouldn't be so annoying if it didn't take forever to go between bosses or to your ship and back

But the answer to that is that it's mostly socio-economic. Because of a history of racism and the real racial sins of this country in the past, black people currently are disproportionality poor, and poor people do disproportionally worse on average academically.

What would you prefer we call this?

A school or organization where whites are doing better is not by definition white supremacist.

I'm not sure why you think it says that. The definition here is referring to systems, not schools.

white supremacy also refers to a political or socio-economic system where white people enjoy structural advantage and rights that other racial and ethnic groups do not, both at a collective and an individual level.

Now, a school where whites outperform minority students might be reflective of white supremacy in broader society, but nowhere does it suggest here that every school where this is the case is white supremacist.

In Virginia itself, the Department of Educations website has a page devoted to Anti-racism in Education, and at the end of a long list of Terms and Definitions it reads, Drawing from critical race theory, the term white supremacy also refers to a political or socio-economic system where white people enjoy structural advantage and rights that other racial and ethnic groups do not, both at a collective and an individual level.

Why did you bold what you bolded here? It's just...correct?

Another dimension

It's not mild snow that's hitting the south right now, though. It's an ice storm that's taking out trees and power lines
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/winter-storm-georgia-carolinas-south-carolina-florida-tennesse-virginia-today-2022-01-16/

Parts of North Carolina were under a winter storm warning until Monday morning. Raleigh was experiencing a mix of frozen precipitation.
Frank Pereira, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, said to expect a "significant ice storm across portions of the central Carolinas," including the Charlotte metropolitan area.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation said Sunday that Interstate 95 was closed in both directions between Lumberton and Fayetteville due to low-hanging power lines. Freezing rain had been reported in the area. Transportation officials advised drivers to take a detour and said they hope to reopen the road by 2 p.m.
More than 250,000 customers were without power by late morning Sunday, according to poweroutage.us. Especially hard hit was Georgia, with nearly 110,000 outages. South Carolina had nearly 90,000 customers without power. The remaining outages were in Florida, North Carolina and Tennessee.

This is the point I've trying to politely word throughout this topic. The people doing stuff like banning books and altering curriculums couldn't have gotten to the positions to do so without people (many of whom might consider themselves moderates!) taking them at face value and hyping up their claims that CRT is a threat in need of dealing with. Glenn Youngkin didn't become governor on the backs of avowed racists.

Even if you don't get that places that infrequently see snow lack the infrastructure and understanding to handle it as well as the places that regularly do, you shouldn't be saying this as the White House press secretary at a time when the south is getting hit by snow.

Why don't you go for all 880 moons? There's a couple hard but fun ones to get if you like challenges.

I got other stuff I wanna play, only so much time in the day

What's your favorite Mario game?

Galaxy; I'm more a fan of the direct design there than the openness in Odyssey

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

How long has it been since you played? I ask because a lot of the joy in Odyssey comes from the sense of discovering new things, and that's not quite the same the second time around. It wasn't until later kingdoms when I started really enjoying it again, as the game becomes more mechanically fun and interesting.

monkmith posted...

how do you get past the fact that its essentially the same game that nintendo put out on the n64 with graphics updates? or the fact that the hat mechanic isn't as interesting as the flud?

I disagree with both parts of this. Odyssey isn't even really attempting to do the same thing as 64; the game is more open and about discovery, where 64 was setting clear goals and "levels" for each star. And while I like Sunshine, the Fludd isn't really what I like about it, nor is it as varied as the possibilities afforded by Cappy.

nothing in Odyssey is as hard as Champion's Road, did you ever beat that?

I wish, lol

How was breakfast?

Okay. I had Reese's Puffs, like a damn child.

I've gotten all the moons twice, you should try to get them all this time. Did you do the darker side of the moon ones before or this time? Which koopa race did you dislike the most?

Tbh I never got past that Darker Side of the Moon boss rush, which was frustrating because I think I would've really liked the rest of it. I remember the Koopa races being annoying, but I can't remember which was the most annoying lol. Maybe Seaside Kingdom?

Is it actually good or overrated trash like most Mario games?

It's actually good, like most Mario games

I'm at 175 moons, I think I'll set a goal for 350 this playthrough. I got around 600 my first go around.

Also "bad thing is bad" is not an argument that "other bad thing is not bad" nor is it an argument that "all negative responses to bad thing are good." So me saying these CRT-esque things are bad is not an argument that other things aren't bad, or that all the negative responses to CRT-esque things are good. I've made this point clear several times.

To me, it comes off hollow to rail against something for paragraphs on end (despite being unable to show much if any concrete examples of it in actual practice), and then try at the end to distance yourself from the movement actively working to ban it, at a time when they are making progress in that effort.

The threats of the latter are, in my mind, far more significant than those of teachers overstepping in their efforts to be anti-racist, and it's telling of your priorities, imo, that you've placed your rhetorical focus on explaining why they have a point and we should concede to their lesser demands.

Well the issue was Joe was talking about capitlism. We don't have capitlism, we have crony capitlism, and it's easy for the average Joe who's struggling to say look what has capitlism has done, but look at the size of government. Look how government intrudes in our lives and in businesses, and it's causing havoc.

Does capitlism mean something different from capitalism?

I don't know wtf happened, I was having a civil discussion and that Guile dude brought up an argument 2 years ago, and now I am suddenly in the wrong.

To be fair, you were wrong in that civil discussion too

You'll have to forgive the guy spouting a child's ideology for confusing adults and children.

Is this cancel culture?

No but specifically, which Bowser fight? 64? Sunshine?

I just got to the Broodal Mech fight in my replay of Mario Odyssey, and that's just so fun because of the mechanics involved, flinging your way up the robot's legs. Really clever stuff

I'm actually replaying Mario Odyssey right now. It started slow, but I'm getting back into a groove with it

Other countries do. Our continued use of the death penalty, against all evidence, is a choice and not a fact of nature.
