Forgive me for suggesting that a man who has completely reshaped all of a single party's politics around him might have the ability to sway people

That's literally how charisma works

Trump is very charismatic but absolutely is a bad speaker by any metric.

Not to defend Trump or anything, but you can pretty much say the same about any politician. Bernie Sanders is only popular because of all the college dropouts that love to hear him talk about "erasing" student debts

Do you honestly think, say, Ted Cruz would have been able to convince idiots to relate to him, even if he said the exact same thing Trump did?

Trump has a lot of charisma. It's just not the kind of charisma that appeals to you.

Trump definitely has no charisma. As long as he's saying something they like, the right will follow him off a cliff. But when he promoted the vaccine, they booed him relentlessly.

Yuuuup. Basically, Sega low balled them on a contract concerning them making additional cash based on sales because neither party expected it to sell as well as it did.

And then it did a tremendous amount of sales, and then the DLC did a ton of sales. And Sega refused to give them any further money in exchange for working on future projects. So I don't blame them--there's more money to be had if they make a game from their own studio at this point. It's really sad though because Sega could have fixed everything by giving them a bonus for such a successful project, especially since it was the only positivity Sonic had at the time pre-movie and Sonic Forces being a pile of shit.

Cool and normal country we have.

but only one of us is asserting they know the absolute truth, and its not me.

There's that clip going around with Heard taking notes but her pen hovering just enough to not actually be writing anything down, like a videogame npc in the background, her lawyer looking at it going "wtf is she doing?". Yeah she's a narcissist and putting on a show. To hell with her fake performance, fake defense, fake support.

?

Did you. Not have this happen to you before?

Is this not just him reading victims names?

Doesn't this happen everywhere?

actually change my answer

Do you know the source of this? I'm curious what their exact wording was.

Its one of my favourite [cameos in the film], he said. I can speak to that. Its one of my favourite things in the movie. And Im very excited for people to see it I dont know what I should, what Im allowed to say [about it]. I think I will actually plead the fifth.
Rescue Rangers features other animated cameos ranging from classic Disney characters to more obscure creations. Speaking broadly about the process of securing them, Schaffer said he wanted to thank the lawyers.
It was super-important to me to get a bunch of third-party cartoons, because if this is going to be some sort of a celebration of animation, it cant just be a celebration of Disney animation, he explained.
The [characters] you see in the movie sometimes we had to try two or three other things before we found one that could be licensed.
It was a process. [] You dont usually come out of a movie and want to thank the lawyers, but we genuinely owe the Disney lawyers for being team players.
[They] super stayed optimistic about it, and really saw the value of the third-party stuff, and they had to really work hard. [] Its easy for me to go, like, Oh, it would be cool if My Little Pony was in the movie, and theyre like, running in the hallways []
But then [the lawyers] have to go call Mattel and pitch them the movie, and tell them its not making fun of [the characters], and then I have to get on, and then blah, blah, blah. So it was a process. But you know, it makes [the movie] so much better.

Isn't 8 higher than the recommended adult amount?

Explain how so? Any time a case of police incompetence gets enough mainstream attention, the hammer absolutely gets brought down on them, sometimes to levels that don't make sense given the crime committed. The BLM riots, Jan 6 riot and all the "trucker convoys" over the last 2 years have show that the police are very much scared of people "rising up"

This is false on a bunch of levels. The "employer/superiors" of the police are the government. Ultimately the employers/superiors of the government are the people.

LOL

Here we go with some likely "No true Scotsman" garbage

One dude who wrote an AP article that got rewritten hours later is as much "The Media" as when Republicans say "The media" is out to get them.

The fact that it got redacted and reposted shows people are trying to improve

In that context it absolutely would be a problem to label an 18 year old differently based on race

But that isn't what happened

I wouldnt block Lopen either. Ive removed most people off my list, because lifes too short for that stuff.

Beefing never ends so Ive stopped doing it.

Your posts are fun to read. Thanks for having me back man.

the far left controls our all institutions

sure. personally I don't think it's actually valid for you to totally forget about it, and then once confronted with evidence just continue on. but either way, if you think you're justified, then so be it.

but I also feel that my stance is justified. while you may not consider yourself to be a part of the group, the reality is that if 10 people are arguing with me, and you are number 11, you're going to get remembered as part of the group. it's not about the severity of the argument, it's about the ridiculous extent of topic derailing from multiple users all nitpicking the same person.

(this topic itself is not a good example, for the record. well, it's a good example of foolmo's insanity but otherwise there is no real ganging up in this topic.)

as evidenced by my earlier post, I had remembered specifically arguing with you in the gun control topic. and I knew we had argued several times before, maybe not the exact severity or extent. but, once again, this isn't solely about you. it's a pattern of behavior involving multiple users.

as I said in my earlier post, maybe it's true (or not) that you were unfairly lumped in with others. but that only happened because you coincidentally were doing the same thing as some of them, at the same time as some of them. probably on multiple occasions, but maybe just one (with other misc arguing in between) if we want to give you the extreme benefit of the doubt. there are very likely other times we interacted where you never said the word maria. where either I or you used different usernames. or it just didn't get logged somehow. I'm also not going to read all of these old topics, so anything that you report is likely to have at least a slight bias in your own favor. and most importantly, even if you don't INTEND to do something, that doesn't mean that it's not happening. you can still be a member of a group all performing the same action, even if it wasn't premeditated.

and that topic involved a similar discussion where you claimed you never argued with me before even though I said you did

the fact that you genuinely believed that you had NEVER argued with me

*she

so I'm going to round a little bit in my favor here but, including this topic, that's 4 times in the last 5 years. I'm someone who only posts in a big topic like this once, maybe twice each year. as I said, if you put money on him as one of the candidates to be arguing against me, you'd probably come out ahead.
