Yes, but it's a dumb as anyone having pride in their skin color. The kind of collectivism currently going on is just stupid.

I fell in love with K. Rool first time I played him. I hope they don't nerf him at all seeing as he's probably really not that high up on the tier lists.

I'd do it. It's not much different than someone holding a gun to your head telling you to execute someone else. I have no particular control over the situation, and unless I love the person I'm set to kill, there's no way I'd value their life over mine. If I won, I'd surly have PTSD over it for the rest of my life though.

There are like ten different camps on the gender/sex issues, so it's quite likely many trans people don't actually think it's as fluid as others do.

It really depends on the cost and how much money it will save. It really wouldn't even need to break even. If it costs 15 billion over X years and saves 10 billion over X years, I think that 5 billion cost would be an an acceptable expense. If it costs 10 billion and saves 1 billion, then it would be pointless.

What profit can you see a border wall making that wouldn't be swallowed right back up in maintenance costs, the costs of labor and the price of getting the land on which to build it in the first place?

It doesn't need to make a profit. It needs to do its job while not being overly burdensome to the country. If we're spending a large amount of money dealing with illegal immigrants and it can heavily reduce that cost, that is a good thing. If it still costs something on top of that, it's not a problem so long as it's not more than 30%-50% more than the cost of illegals. If it does nothing to curb the problem and costs ten times what we spend on illegals to upkeep, then it's worthless.

If you really just wanted to die just get on bad terms with someone to the point they want to shank you.

Doubt it. There are so many factors that it's unlikely to be a thing until we have complete mastery over the human body so such a thing would be peanuts to what future humans could accomplish.

I think if they had just made female playable characters without any of the fanfare, especially cyborg lady, it wouldn't have been received negatively by the gaming populous. That's the difference between pandering and just putting shit in the game. Like the dumb comment from a developer who didn't want to explain to his daughter why women didn't fight in WWII or something to that effect.

What exactly was the problem with her sitting on the floor? There was nowhere else to sit. Why was this something that needed to be escalated to police intervention? The whole situation just feels so unnecessary. Whole office full of social workers and no one felt this was inappropriate. Fuckin A

It's probably considered a fire hazard. If they just left her, someone could likely get written up for it. After she refused to comply, that's the only recourse left. She's the one at fault for not complying with their instructions or police instructions.

It's basically if the market decides that they don't want a bunch of pandering bunk, the product will fail/not do as well as it could have if it had just been normal. It's not the simple act of including something that can be described as "diverse", but the act of shoving it down people's throats, backlash against fans if it fails to actually fit the original narrative, and simply choosing virtue signalling regardless of how people view it. It's when they are pandering to a non-existent audience that it really shows, like the failure of a lot of the Marvel comics. It's also a factor in marketing as well like the female Ghost Busters. Having an all female cast isn't pandering, but the way they marketed it and blamed the poor reception of the movie on people hating women is the bad part. If it had been a superbly funny movie, then people would not have cared at all.

There are people who instantly react negatively to any instance of the most subtle inclusion of anything out of their "comfort zone", but they're the fringe minority of the opposite spectrum.

The state of this country is so dumb when stories that shouldn't even make a local newspaper are national headlines because someone posted a video online.

Yes and no. Some people have no intention of ever trying to get better. They lie to and cheat the people they know for a fix. They let their kids live in squalor. They remain scumbags for their whole lives. Other people can make it out and return to life as if the addiction was just a passing phase.

It's insane that anyone still brings this up. You can tell that someone doesn't have a good grasp on real issues if they think this song is problematic.

I think he should have just used the pronouns, but it's really dumb to call it discrimination if he just decided not to use any pronouns at all. Like, if he's just constantly in the kid's face using the wrong ones on purpose and insulting the kid, that would be another story altogether.

All this stuff is such bullshit. It's one thing to have a clear set of rules where a violation can be pointed out directly at a certain rule. It's another to constantly look for anything that can slightly qualify as a rule violation and snap their jaws around their necks in an attempt to wipe them from the platform even when it doesn't meet the exact wording of the rule. He said some naughty words somewhere not at all related to his source of income. It's very justified to criticize him for using those words, but an instant ban is just dumb when the owner literally said they will not be engaging in such behavior.

Both banning candy canes and someone being put on leave for banning candy canes is something that should only come out of the Onion.

As long as she's STD free and that number has not increased since we start dating, it's fine. The number doesn't matter so much as the method. If she was going out and having unprotected sex in night club bathrooms on the regular, that's not the kind of person I'd want to be with. If she was having safe one night stands, then I don't really care

The point of the attack helicopter meme was to parody the insane nonsense gender identities that sprung up in places like Tumblr. That's not to say that it has never been used to directly mock a transperson, but something doesn't inherently become universally offensive just because some people have been offended by its use.

It's quite scary how a single tweet that isn't even offense has ruined this guy's online presence. It's not like he even did anything wrong.

It wasn't a single tweet

The hashtag thing is a non-issue mistake that anyone could have made, and I'm sure a quick apology would have sufficed if not for the actual "problematic" tweet.

He already made attack chopper jokes using the GOG account in the past.

And? That's not one iota offensive at all.

It seems like their point is to insure good connections, but I'd rather have an "eh" connection in a match I actually want to play over something I don't want to play.

Sure. Even if it doesn't go with it, you can just bunch it up on a small part of the meal, eat it to get it out of the way, and then you're good to eat like normal.

Were his tweets supposed to be jokes or was he actually being straight out homophobic? They failed at being funny if they were jokes, but he has no reason to apologize ever if they were jokes. If he just hated gay people, then it's honestly fair.

It's basically like lottery lump sum vs annuity but the lump sum is also delayed. The only way to take the daily money would be if you desperately needed more than 100k in a year but could also wait 101+ days for it.

In terms of credit score, yes. I think it's above 0% and under 10% that's the sweet spot. In terms of how you're living your life, depends on how much credit you have. If you have 40k available credit, that would be quite bad.

If they were encouraging people to buy all three, that would have been scammy, but it was just to get people to use the trading mechanic to get exclusives.

Nothing wrong with simply existing and getting money from pathetic people. The disgusting part is when they hold private conversations and lead overly desperate men on like they realistically have a chance to earn more money from them.

Clones easily. If you can keep even just 10 clones per day up for a year, you've just gained ten years of life experiences you'd never have. With that, you can certainly earn enough money to easily allow you to live in luxury.

Huh, never would have expected that. I wonder if it's a passion project by the old staff or just someone who thought it would make a good concept to bring it back.

I don't feel bad for him as he as basically asking for it, but resorting to violence over words is never a good thing. It's a good thing they were both punished. Hopefully the kid will realize he's being a total moron before it's too late, and hopefully they investigate his parents for possible child abuse charges if they're enabling his behavior.

It's crazy how out of touch some people are to at all identify the problem as "gamers." Everything they have done in their campaign has just pushed their playerbase away. That's not to say everyone complaining about issues is a saint. I'm sure there are some real pieces of work who say disgusting things in comment sections.

It's so dumb. It's one thing if it is like a Nintendo game that has something that is culturally fine in Japan for a kid's game but not in America. Censorship is generally dumb, but I can understand them doing it in that case. It's another thing to take an teen/adult's game and then dumb it down for no reason when young kids should not be playing them anyway.

It all depends entirely on the context of what they and the men were doing. Were they engaging with any of the men or minding their own business? Were they in the crowded dance floor or to the side? I'm sure men touching their asses was harassment if they declined to dance with everyone, but conflating every single touch to groping is stupid. There are a large number of ways to touch someone's arm or back without being sexual. There are ways to point out disgusting things without going overboard for the sake of a better headline. This kind of article makes it look like they're making a big deal out of nothing, which hurts the point they're trying to make.

The game looks ugly and just doesn't feel fun. While the second game had some flaws, it at least looked and played like the original.

Never, unless I had a loved one with a fatal cancer diagnosis I was willing to sacrifice myself to save.

There's no need unless you actively experience the language on a regular basis.

Bad take

Valid take.

There are more benefits to learning and knowing a language than daily utility

It depends entirely on where you live, who you interact with, and what media you consume. If you learn French, live in the middle of nowhere in the US, never plan on traveling to France, know no French people, and consume no French media, then you'll never use it.

There's no need unless you actively experience the language on a regular basis.

Sure, 16 is legal in many areas, so there's no reason to think ill of her other being a bit dumb in not checking local laws.

Three, but could be one in the next year or so. One is healthy, one is in the final stages of Alzheimer's, and one is just experiencing hospitalization like every other week.

That's nothing we need to worry about at present. If automation ever gets to the point of taking out most jobs, society will likely have progressed to a different kind of living. As of right now, every job that is replaced will open up several new ones.

Its definitely 18+. Though there is a chance homemade stuff could potentially feature teens below 18 if they look the part and there is no way to determine their age. If the age is revealed, it will be pulled instantly.

No, unless I decide to be celibate for the rest of my life.

Sure, I'm sure it still works out to an insane hourly rate and I doubt the prizes over a lifetime would exceed like 20 million.

Is police brutality actually as big of an issue as they claim, or are they simply parroting this idea that 1% bad seeds ruin the whole bunch? I can only find death statistics, which really aren't that big of a deal when looking at the total population. It's not like it's an issue that should be avoided. It should certainly be targeted in actual cases where it can be isolated as a problem, but these kinds of "all of X is evil" stunts help literally nothing.

Why do people keep mentioning contact is going to wipe them out instantly when they've kill three people and moved the bodies without all of them dying? There is certainly a risk, but it's obviously not "step one foot onto the island and everyone dies."

Nothing wrong with sex work at all, but some of those people on those sites are quite disgusting as well. They lead pathetic men on in private conversations to bait more money out of them. Nothing wrong with showing the goods to get some money, but it becomes toxic once they add a personal touch to it. Then you have the crazy guys who think they like own the woman just because they've given thousands of dollars. It's not a healthy community at all.
