It's funny because there's a right-wing troll/shitposter I remember from 261 who had "dj" in their name, clicked on OP's name here and they're in purgatory lol.

Charizard wasn't a particularly great card in the original set IIRC, people just liked it because Charizard.

He was strong, however you had to get energy cards to put on him as he only had one movie that cost 4 and takes 2 off after using.

But from the very brief time I played I do remember if you could successfully get him out with enough energies there's not a card that could outlive his attack.

She had a private tutor when she was a kid. And she had an ex from the states >_>

That explains why she can speak it so well, at least.

NeonBoobs posted...

I found the opposite lol. I met a girl that spoke pretty fluently, but writing emails and texts with her is a fucking trainwreck to parse through >_>

Well, that's quite odd. Is she a huge fan of Western media or had some private tutor?

I think he meant not only westerners

Most likely he meant not only Americans.

If the video had a mix of various European nationals, Canadians, and Americans, for example.

Also, I like to imagine some dumb af American(s) going there and being like, "We came to Tokyo for their world-famous racing, and we didn't see a single person drifting".

I don't get the people who thought a lot of people there would be speaking English. Why? Most people there aren't going to be traveling to English-speaking countries regularly.

I think some people watch too many movies where someone goes to a country and everyone they run into just happens to be fluent in English because the story needs them to be.

Japan actually teaches English from 3rd grade through the 3rd year of high school, however because they don't have many native speakers it leads to many Japanese citizens being adept at reading/writing it (notice how a lot of their clothing/brands/stores will just randomly have English), however not being very confident at speaking it.

Oh well, I'm gonna watch it and judge for myself.

I don't base what I watch off of Internet randos lol.

Also, as 261ers started doing towards the end of the board's time, encouraging them to actually explain themselves almost inevitably leads to them finally say their true heinous feelings and being held accountable.

Personally I just put trolls and shitposters on block because I liken it to being forced to suffer looking at a literal pile of shit, however I've nothing against the posters laying down trap cards.

Make them permanent, this topic should be for news about the conflict only.

To add onto darkace's post, how do you do that without also bringing politics into it?

Have a bunch of people go "aw man that sucks!"?

Because anything more than that and it becomes "political".

This is not a situation that can be separated from politics because it's based off politics. People are not wrong for discussing a topic as political when it is inherently implied.

All of what you posted in the OP is horrendous, however this part hit the hardest. Dying on the same day he would have been freed from that hellhole. Turn the prison staff into residents. Fuck these monsters.

Like I said, come back to reality.

That's cute coming from the person trying to say Hamas is the worst terrorist organization to have ever existed, even worse than ISIS, when ISIS has objectively done more damage and caused more death.

But I see you're not interested in having any sort of logical or fact-based conversation, you're just arguing off of emotions, so guess that's it.

Sorry, I'm not really in the practice of entertaining alternate realities.

"If Hamas had"

But they don't. I don't know why you have this insistence on proving Hamas is the worst terrorist organization in existence, but they're not, and I can only conclude you need them to be for some pro-Israeli government shilling purposes.

I don't know if you realize this, however this conflict has happened for a very long time and each time Hamas kills some Israelis the Israeli response is tenfold that. There's charts outlining who has killed who over the years and the bodies the IDF make is always grossly disproportionate.

No, Hamas are not decent people by any stretch of the imagination, but much of the world is sick of Israel's bullshit genocidal practices, which we see in Netanyahu also using the term "river to the sea" and even showing a map of how he wants that version of Israel to look.

LaManoNeraII posted...

You seriously dont know of anything they did on October 7th? And youre unaware of the heinous, evil quagmire theyve turned Gaza into over the past 20 years? Israel didnt do that, Hamas did that. They make the lives of Palestinians a living hell and have brain washed children into being literal and willing shields for them. Those children arent taught math and science in school, theyre taught to be martyrs.

ISIS has conquered parts of Iraq and Syria with 33k deaths attributed to them as well as their intentional destruction of historical artifacts.

whitelytning posted...

So, there are or there arent tunnels under the hospital? Im confused? As a Biden voter, what is the current acceptable group think on this issue?

Israel built a bunker down there in 1983 as well as the tunnel system. They expanded and added onto it in 1990 as well.

https://www.newsweek.com/fact-check-did-israel-build-bunker-under-shifa-hospital-1844107

"We know there's tunnels down there because we made them" is not the in-your-face revelation you seem to think it is.

People keep pointing to this, ignoring that the Republicans expanded their Senate totals in 2018, which led to Trump appointing additional Supreme Court judges.

What led to those appointments is Dems don't play the bullshit games Republicans play when it comes to nominating and voting on judicial candidates. It's one of the areas they are most disappointingly ineffectual in because they allowed McCon to just steal Garland's nomination vote for 8 months cause "muh election", then made no real opposition to Gorsuch, who replaced Scalia, they had a laughable hearing for Kavanaugh, and rammed Barrett through 2 weeks before Trump lost an election with Feinstein hugging Graham and saying it was the best hearing she'd ever been to or something.

Even if the Dems had a supermajority in 2018 they'd still have voting on Trump's candidates and most likely would still vote for their approval.

What led to Trump getting those judges is him winning in 2016 because people didn't accept him for the threat he was even though millions of us were saying it since 2015.

Forty_Niners posted...

Dems don't need unforced errors. And right now, Biden's response to this war has been a huge unforced error.

You are forgetting that the US gen electorate has a very short memory when it comes to politics. This conflict is still happening a year away from the election. As long as it doesn't drag on too long and if the U.S. can successfully negotiate the ceasefire/an actual resolution to this, there's a lot that can happen until then.

Like I said in another recent post, none of these elections have been about liking Biden, it's been about rejecting Trumpism and the extremity of the Christo-fascist GOP.

Lorenzo_2003 posted...

The mistake here is in thinking that literally any evidence, from either a quality or quantity standpoint, is going to be convincing to anti-Israeli proponents. Theyve already made up their minds.

The exact same thing can be said for those who lap up any and everything Israel puts out even though they've been objectively exposed as liars in the past who will lie to justify their atrocities.

Neither Hamas/the Gazan government nor the Israeli government is trustworthy in any information they put out. Their own damn Israeli media has been exposing them since Oct 7th and there are still people who just shovel whatever shit the Israeli government makes right into their mouths.

Forty_Niners posted...

What do you call polls that show all Republicans beating Biden then?

A demonstration on why using polls to predict elections is folly.

According to polling AND historical trends Dems should have gotten crushed in like the last 4 elections and the only major victory by the GOP was a 5 seat majority in the House which has become an albatross around their neck.

X8Azazel8X posted...

Yeah Biden avoided going too much more into it because it's a touchy subject for Xi when they are actively trying to repair relations. I think Biden did fine in that situation.

Where I think I ultimately land as well. He's trying to criticize China's government and Xi's hold on it while also trying to stave off an invasion of Taiwan.

Bro, nothing's more cringe here than you using the term "captive animals in their house for recreation"

You're as bad as the other day when I saw a story about how someone's dog found like 99 or so injured cats in alleys n such, which were rescued, and someone posted "so this prisoner captured free creatures and also made them prisoners", or something to that effect, even though it was pretty clear that the cats were sick and/or injured so very clearly the dog saved them from a likely soon death.

I also want TC's car back.

I read somewhere that Israel didn't even try to negotiate for the hostages until the last week. 5 weeks of refusing to even talk to the captors.

With indiscriminate bombing of wherever they "thought" Hamas "might" be located.

Israel made it pretty clear they don't care about the lives of the hostages, I wonder how much of the world still thinks they do.

streamofthesky posted...

Putler's whole "deal" with his populace (particularly in Moscow/St. Pete) is that they don't care how many atrocities he commits, so long as his governance enriches them and doesn't affect them personally. His hold on power will only loosen once they suffer, too.

This is just the mentality citizens of a conquering nation generally have. The Roman citizens certainly didn't give a fuck about whose land was being stolen and who was being killed as long as their lives were comfy back home.

No doubt it also made it easier for American citizens to accept GWB's wars since we never had any sort of attack on our soil during those 20 years. They were just greedily thinking about how much their oil prices would lower.

Not saying you're wrong or anything, just saying it's not unique to Russians and also Russians aren't immune to the mentality. It's why we saw the vast majority of them didn't give a shit until Putin started doing conscription, because for the first time they were actually at risk of losing something important.

Former Israel PM saying Hamas' true HQ is in southern Gazan city Khan Yunis, the area being struck now. May explain the bombings.
https://m.jpost.com/israel-news/article-773923

Basically, the goalpost has been moved to southern Gaza

Soon enough their actual HQ will be in the West Bank and that's why they'll be justified in driving out all the Palestinians to set up totes legit settlements, which they've also expressed intent to do anyways because they want beachfront property now.

getting a good 3rd party candidate across the line

Those would have to exist first. Currently, none do.

Also realistically, I highly doubt it's even possible for both the Dem and Repub candidate to equally fail so hard that a 3rd party wins. It would take an exponential amount of people both supporting the 3rd party and choosing to not vote for the candidates with the historically highest chances of actually winning.

to be fair to them, i bet a majority of the world fall in that category.
it's more likely that we're the exception here

I don't know if it's all of Asia, however Japan and South Korea, at least, also focus on the collective good of society and the nation over that of individual needs/wants.

I don't know how strong that sentiment is around the world, but I know it's like that for them.

ShadowLake posted...

Yeah. Americans usually tend to have such a different mindset from us on these things. Much more selfish and greedy and seem to ruin things for themselves in the long run in favour of short term gain.

As an American I agree and it's one of the most disheartening thing about this country. They shove "rugged individualism" on us so hard that it's led to not only apathy, but often hatred for those who are less fortunate or who didn't have the same options because "I did it, so can they. Fuck them"

i know tc's reputation, and i remember before he went nuts too, but i dont really see a reason to doubt he's a doctor. it's not like doctors are automatically above being unethical

Yep, after all Rep Ronnie Jackson, when he was the WH physician, said Trump was in super healthy shape and could have lived to 200 if only he'd never eaten any McDonald's.

They may be smart enough to get through medical school, however that doesn't mean they're smart enough to not fall for right-wing propagandist mis/disinformation.

Honestly I hate the whole pro-2A argument. That amendment specifically mentions a well regulated militia. I really don't think it was intended to mean that every citizen should just have their own personal arsenal of guns. But they fiercely fight against any gun restrictions, which puts us in a perpetual cycle of gun violence

That actually was the argument for the longest time until Scalia ruled with Heller (I believe) that every individual actually does have a personal right to firearms that can't be infringed.

That's how they were able to ban the sale and ownership of "tommy guns", because at the time that ruling had not happened. Shit, in 1939 the SC even specifically ruled the ban didn't violate the Cons. Today they'd be like "well they didn't have tommy guns in 1790, so clearly we're not allowed to do anything against them cause there were no laws regulating them"

It's sickening.

"Yeah, I know I killed your friends and family members. Here's a flag trollolololololo"

It's like when the South Park boys sent $4 to the kids in Afghanistan, except at least they weren't personally killing Afghanis and blowing up their buildings.

Looks like Israel is planning to invade the West Bank. What will their excuse be? There's no Hamas there.

Well, if they were honest about why they think they justified.

My understanding is the guy grew up modest, he was not born into wealth. He created a successful let's play channel and eventually started doing these videos. The money he makes from these videos is then used towards the next good deed he makes a video of and then repeats the process.

He's an example of someone ascending their starting social class and then using that to start doing good things for people around the world.
