I've been playing through it recently, and despite some quirks and bugs from time to time it's a technical marvel for the time. Hundreds, maybe thousands of unique voice lines, a huge roster of squadmates, streamlined gameplay with excellent shooting - it's not everyone's cup of tea, but it's an excellent game.

That's a disingenuous argument and he knows it. Trump is a public figure, arguably the most powerful man in the world, getting jokes hurled at him by media personalities - other public figures. This Vox guy runs a sub-series of YouTube videos for a news website, and the person going after him uses the same platform and uses dirty tactics to harass his opponents in a way that you literally cannot do to the President of the United States. There's a bigger discrepancy of power between a late night talk show host and the President of the United States then there is between Crowder and this Vox guy.

Yeah, Vox guy works for a publication while Crowder is entirely independent. But the only reason things have gotten this bad for Crowder is because he and his fans call him a queer and constantly make these bad faith arguments about the liherals silencing free speech. Crowder's behavior has led to his fanbase tracking down the Vox guy's phone number to further harass and intimidate him. He compares himself to John Oliver and Stephen Colbert, but the person he's picking on is some content creator working under a lower umbrella within Vox, some third-tier corporate worker.

God forbid the media cracks dumb, pithy jokes about the most powerful man in America. Of course that's comparable to the repeated targeted harassment of a journalist. And of course Crowder knows it's horseshit. What a disgrace.

She's been doing racist shit like this since 2007. She shouldn't be teaching at a school that has a Mexican student base of 63% if she's the sort of person who asks Mexican kids for papers and asks for outside help to get them deported.

As the article states, kids from the area can attend public school regardless of their immigration status - you should never have a person on the inside that resents their duty as an educator to educate different races other than their own. That only opens the door for their bias and hate to affect the education of kids placed in her care.

My friend was into him for a short while. Didn't like him, but I got why my friend did - that one girl who punctuated her statement with claps like in a meme was one of his most popular videos, and he hates folks like that. I get why my friend is like that, folks like that are really annoying, but I also think he's out of line with some of the things he says.

The point that I really turned on Crowder was the episode of his shitty podcast in the wake of the MAGAhat teen vs that Native American guy. Dude kept imitating him by speaking broken English and calling him an Indian, and he brought up this art of the guy wearing a headdress and sunglasses, smoking out of a bong while sitting in front of a teepee. The whole bit was him evoking outdated Native American stereotypes like a racist shithead.

Question

Is it 10kp per shit per person or simply 10k per person

i.e. could I gather 100 friends, shit once, and get 1mil or would i need to shit my pants 100 times to make 1 mil

Per person, so you could gather up 100 people and make a million. But you can only shit yourself once per person - if you shit a second time with the same person, you won't get paid a second time.

You can call it off whenever you like. That scenario is bending the rules a little, but as long as your nephew and any other people you know at the showing become aware that you shit yourself, it'll count.

In a scenario like that, however, they'll need to know it was you within the span of 24 hours. If the school covers up who did it and your nephew doesn't know that it was you until a few days later, you don't get the money.

You can tell there's a narrative that shitheads like this cop go to. Like the guy picking up litter already handed over his ID, he mentioned it had his address on it, and the cop kept badgering about "making sure you belong in this neighbourhood", making sure he's "not working" or anything. Regular ass dude going about his day, cleaning up around his property, getting harassed by this pig who's trying to escalate the situation for no reason.

He had the guy's ID in his hand and he took the time to withhold it, tell the guy to comply with illegal actions, throw out some "I'm frightened for my life" bullshit over a "weapon" that the guy was not brandishing at the officer and just generally be an obstructive ass. And as soon as the cronies he called in arrived, they gave the ID back to the man and told the cop that the situation was fine. He's a bully exploiting his power.

And people wonder why there's been a backlash against cops in the latter half of the 2010's. This isn't justice, it's not keeping the peace or law-keeping. The second this cop withheld the guy's ID to harass him further, despite having his personal details on hand to confirm, any pretense of reason went out the window. And it's pigs like this that necessitate the use of bodycams.

It's think it depends on the context of the posts in general.

There was recently a thread where someone made this grand, sweeping "whites are oppressed!" post, being a clown, in a thread about Lauren Ingraham or whatever slipping in a known white supremacist/anti-Semite into a news story about conservatives being silenced. This guy that she lumped in with all of these poor silenced conservatives? He's said, in no uncertain terms, "White people need to band together and do a better job at wiping out the Jewish race". That shit is on public record. And this GameFAQs user chooses a thread about this white supremacist getting a public nod to stand up and say "well she's actually right about whites being oppressed, no-one is sympathetic to it because it's socially acceptable to hate white skin, and we need to be proud of our whiteness and shit".

This user could have picked any topic on this board about race, or they could have made their own heavily biased topic where they add such a far-right slant to the incident that they completely obfuscate the connection to this white supremacist fuck, in order to make their white oppression sob story post. But they buried it 90 posts deep in a topic that draws the connection between Lauren Ingraham and a documented anti-Semite in the very first post. This wasn't new info presented later in the thread - the news of this guy being a white supremacist was present in the OP. It's what the thread was about.

So, by that metric, it's not wholly irrelevant to question the nature of their post.

"Your post has these connotations due to the nature of the thread. If that's where you're going with this, if you're seriously going to ally your grand racial point to someone who's said this sort of thing in no uncertain terms - fuck off. This isn't just "urr black people were mean to me once" dumbass racism, this is attaching some point about supposed fairness in society to a white supremacist who's calling for genocide. This post is disgusting."

A bit self-righteous, but the reason for the negative reaction is given and the concern expressed is reasonable. No mod in their right mind is going to moderate "fuck off" in response to "this person who - as explained in this thread - lumped an avowed white supremacist in with conservative writers is right that white people are oppressed, and the fact that she's getting heat for this only goes to show that it's free game to discriminate against whites. gamers rise up". Any moron with a solid 10% of workable grey matter can see what the poster is trying to do there.

Unless what they're saying is somehow even more disgusting and overt than that, "fuck off" on its own can be considered a low effort troll or anti-social post. Making an effort to clarify what they mean, disavowing the direction their post is appearing to take and telling them to fuck off in the event of that being the case? Your ass is at least a bit more covered than it was before.

MrMallard
06/01/19 6:14:54 PM

I'm only 23, but I would limit my dating pool to 20 and over. I remember who I was in the later days of high school - I was some dipshit kid who wanted to be taken seriously, but I didn't have anything to offer. In reality, all I was to offer was a head full of trivia, dreams and classic party banter - I was still a kid throughout the next two years of my life.

Change is incremental, and it's hard to measure because people change so slowly over time, and at their own pace. My life experience isn't going to match everyone's, so my boundaries aren't going to hit home for everyone. But it's a firm belief of mine that someone needs to be out of school and engaging in these incremental changes for a while before most people outside of their age range consider dating them.

Someone might be available to approach by the letter of the law, but I don't think it's ethical for 30+ year olds to be pursuing kids who are straight out of high school. And the further away your age is from a teenager in your twenties, the weirder it gets. People need this time in the real world, bumping elbows with people from all walks of life, to grow themselves. Robbing the cradle puts far too much pressure on someone to provide a significant amount of that personal growth, and failing at that relationship stands to negatively affect the younger party. Inexperienced people are more suited to dating each other, because by figuring it out together, they're learning and growing at the same pace.

Eventually, people are going to form their own tastes, wants and needs. That will be different for everyone. 25 year olds will marry 67 year olds. 90+ year olds may find love with someone in their 30's or younger - though that's definitely getting a bit extreme. Age gaps are not inherently unethical or problematic, people can understand and love each other across vast cultural divides like that. But a person who's had 5, 10, 20 years of social experience and personal growth should be wary about how they interact with someone who's working with less than a year.

20 years is a significant age gap, but a 28 year old can make more of an informed judgement over dating a 48 year old than an 18 year old can over dating a 38 year old. Those ten years matter. They're vital to one's personal growth.

That's why you're a creep if you count "high school girls" or "legal teenagers" as a demographic to be courted well into your thirties.

Of course there'll be exceptions, a 19 year old might hit it off with a 30 year old and the resulting relationship turns into a lifelong marriage. But I would be willing to put money on the probability that a relationship that begins like that is built on an effort to understand, navigate and respect the disparity between ages instead of brushing it aside because "it's legal you fucking SJW alpha cuck".

I wish they had remade Shin Godzilla.
That would have been epic.

No offence TC, but that would have been a terrible idea.

Yeah, maybe if they rebooted the Legendary series or supplemented it with a second Godzilla, like an offspring of the 2014 one that develops in the style of Shin Godzilla, that might have been cool. But nothing about Shin Godzilla fits the Hollywood movie-making machine.

That movie is an hour and a half of political intrigue and character dialogue. It's carried by a truly dynamic cast of oddballs and weirdos, and I think the way it handled Japanese politics wouldn't translate as well to an American perspective. Japan utilised a group of small-time otaku weirdos to contrast against the highly formal political brass to great effect - unless the American adaptation went full Revenge of the Nerds, it probably wouldn't work.

The conflict of Shin Godzilla, nuking Japan to stop Godzilla from taking flight and destroying the world, is so firmly rooted in Japan's anti-nuclear principles and mindset. And that's what makes the conflict so palpable and tense to me. That's what makes it so special. One of my favorite scenes from that movie was of the politician guy speaking with his friend on a rooftop, and despite his stoic front, you can hear his voice cracking, on the verge of breaking down. I don't think that moment can possibly hold as much weight as it did in Shin Godzilla if they remade it in America.

I don't want to sound like a snob, but I genuinely believe that if Legendary remade Shin Godzilla, or if any other major Hollywood studio remade it, 9 times out of ten it would end up being a piece of shit. Sure, let's plug Shin Godzilla into the same industry that crapped out Geostorm and The Meg last year. The only way an American adaptation or spiritual successor could work is by giving it to a smaller or more off-the-wall creator. I haven't seen a bad movie come out of A24 yet - let them set up a director and co-fund Shin Godzilla with Toho. Shit, do you think Jordan Peele could make an interesting Godzilla movie? An Americanised Shin Godzilla would need a guy like Hideaki Anno, a real craftsman with passion for the project. And with how Legendary have handled 2014 Godzilla and King of the Monsters, and the low-concept sci-fi turds that Hollywood keeps churning out, I can only see an American Shin Godzilla being complete and utter dogshit.

06/01/19 12:53:27 PM

If you like turn-based RPGs and Roguelikes, For the King is a must-have title - especially if you like playing couch co-op with a friend.

Imagine playing Final Fantasy with a friend, where you both control a character each. That's For the King in a nutshell. You have an engaging RNG system, where you can alter rolls to lean more heavily in your favour through the use of a limited resource called Focus, you have mystery encounters that can make or break your party, and you have your optional superbosses and Infinity Plus One weapons when you hit endgame - if you're lucky enough to generate them in your game.

Me and my friend played 11 hours of For the King tonight, continuing our second playthrough after our first party died out yesterday. We geared up, levelled up, and we took out the final boss. We were using all three player characters, which is sufficiently less challenging than a two-player or one-player experience. But the fact is that we overcame the same game that crushed our first team, and we did it super well. It felt really rewarding.

After we finished the main campaign, we played a bit of Hildebrant's Dungeon. It's pretty much just dungeon-crawling from the main game, but set up like a series of gauntlets, like a Survival mode. We cleared 61 rooms with a Woodcutter, a Hobo and a Herbalist.

I can't remember the last time I had such a fun time playing a video game with a friend. Mortal Kombat 11 was a fun romp, but that was us passing a controller back and forth and enjoying the cutscenes. We fought a bit too, and it was fun.

But For the King was on a whole other level. We squabbled, we fucked up and ignored each other's advice, but we also got really into the game and had a lot of fun. This game is fantastic - so many game modes, online and couch co-op, something like 12+ character classes, a significant amount of replayability through the Lore Store, customisation that feels significant and fun - For the King has got it all. It sparks the same competitive nature in me as Carcassonne.

My friend got it for free on Game Pass, and I'm gonna buy it on Switch if it's on there.

Are we still saying you can't be a creep if you are dealing with adults? I don't know why you're so appalled that some people might think negatively of someone for doing something creepy or weird.

Is what he did morally wrong?

Is it really weird that a famous person might want to date a sexy woman?

Natalie Portman didn't seem to appreciate it. Y'know, the girl he was hitting on when he was 33 and she was 18. I think her feelings on the matter are worth mentioning.

So she thinks what he did was morally wrong?

Based on what she's said, she found it creepy and uncomfortable to be around an older man who was trying to flirt with her and date her. I don't think she would have taken issue with Moby's account if she didn't think there was something wrong about the whole situation, and with how Moby decided to characterise it in his memoirs.

A 33 year old man hitting on a recently graduated 18 year old is creepy as fuck. That same age difference, but with Moby being 40 and Natalie Portman being 25, is at least an adult with life skills hitting on another adult with life skills. But a guy in his 30's hitting on a girl who's still a good couple of years off of entering her 20's? That's particularly skeezy.

18 year olds aren't necessarily naive or defenseless or what have you, but hitting on girls that age when you're 15 years removed from them is absolutely a sleazy move. That's still an age where an older person can exploit a younger person's desire to be taken seriously and to be treated like an adult, and use that for their own gross purposes.

"nah bro she's 18, she's legal, this is fine!" that doesn't mean there aren't still ethical concerns here. Natalie Portman, the woman involved, seems to think he was being a sleaze. Moby aged her up to her 20's in his book, which is a bad look for him. No matter what grand societal point you want to make, the fact remains that Natalie Portman herself felt grossed out by the age difference and said age difference was obfuscated by Moby in his book. That could have been thanks to a faulty memory, sure. But it doesn't make the reality of the situation somehow off-limits.

Seriously. Using this situation to make your grand point about legal age and ethics in regards to age gaps, in favor of thirty years old men hitting on barely legal teenagers, just makes you look like a creep.

If you're gonna marry someone, then you should probably love them a great deal. Especially if you have kids. If you're not willing to give your life to your family, then don't start a family.

So, separate from Rika's melty - does anyone have a definitive answer as to why Duncan got warned? Was it for spoiling Aladdin? Because I am not sitting through all those hurt feelings to find out what happened to Nuclear Armageddon guy, y'know.
