Do this games have the Nintendo Seal of Approval?

No.

Nintendo is more relaxed about what games they allow on their platform. However, those games aren't classified as Nintendo games.

Let's all talk about what the proper response to the crisis in Gaza is for lawmakers rather than the vague concept of bias.

What's disingenuous is pretending to not understand what issue people have with the website. This all started because you are confused why anyone has an issue with the website, and apparently think no one should have an issue with the website and it's rating system.

As it's been explained by multiple people in this topic that being in support of a ceasefire doesn't mean one shouldn't have an issue with the website and its rating system that you are trying to defend.

You can't have it both ways that you aren't saying you approve of the website while at the same time defending as much as you can that people shouldn't have an issue with the website and it's rating system.

Then actually argue that instead of desperately trying to defend a websites rating system that even the people who support a ceasefire doesn't agree with. Feigning ignorance to why anyone could have an issue with the website and its rating system.

you mostly mean like airline jobs, tcs or whatever they call the security part of most airlines? forget the 3 letter shortening....

I mean any job that requires a security clearance. Whether it's from DoD or DHS, or etc.....at least as far as the USA goes. I can't speak for other countries. Especially a high security clearance.

Those things usually involves an investigator, and the higher the clearance the more they scrutinize and even interrogate you (literally and figuratively). As someone else touched on its possible to somehow slip through the cracks, but I definitely don't recommend it if you value the job you are shooting for or any future work either.

I never at any point gushed about, praised, or even displayed the website. You're going off on some alternate reality version of my posts in this topic. It's really weird.

I simply explained why it exists,

No one here questioned why the website exists. You aren't explaining something nobody didn't know. Biased websites giving biased rating systems exist to no one's surprise.

It's existence doesn't change not everyone agrees with its rating system, including the people who want a ceasefire.

You just don't like people rejecting the website as you literally questioned how could anyone possibly have an issue with the website.

what do you mean clearance level work? yeah an extremely high percentage if they find out will get rid of you. LIke almost all esp. an upper level job. All the big ones in the news they got rid of them. Maybe degree importance is getting even more important in u.s. not less

A security clearance such as a TS or higher.

TS clearances usually involves an actual investigator who verifies all of your claims when you apply for one. Depending on the type of TS clearance you are even interrogated. If you are serious about a job that requires a TS clearance, I'd highly recommend not lying in one of those. As if the investigator catches it and determines it was intentional, there's a good chance you can kiss that clearance goodbye along with the job that likely needs you with a TS clearance.

This was mostly a joke topic, but I will say I genuinely don't get the Toph votes. Just because she's a tomboy doesn't mean she likes the ladies.

I mean...you chose Zuko....

Depends on the job TC on if they will check.

I will say, I'd highly recommend not lying on a high profile job that will likely involve an actual background check. Like clearance level work.

Personally, I wouldn't lie to that degree on my resume ever. Maybe finesse my responsibilities and accomplishments, but fabricating an entire college degree is something I'm not bold enough to do. I feel my luck I'd get caught.

Old news.

Nintendo doesn't seem to give af anymore. The cover art on a lot games they allow on eshop Switch have been edgy for years.

I never said I approved of this site. I've never even heard of it, and have based zero of my opinions on its ratings. I'm simply explaining a concept people were willfully misunderstanding. I don't even necessarily want people to agree, I just want them to stop playing dumb.

At this point you are playing dumb.

This isn't about being unaware of the concept you speak of. The concept is irrelevant to not everyone agrees on said concept. For reasons others in this topic have already explained.

So going around proudly displaying some website that you think has a solid rating system that others should admire and respect is only valuable to those who value andor approve said rating system. That includes as you pointed out, a website geared towards specific activists who you believe should all agree with the website..., but in actuality not even all activists for a specific cause are a monolith. Especially on something as complex as the issue between Israel and Palestine.

So when you come here questioning why everyone here isn't gushing support over that websites rating system, that is exactly what I'm talking about with your post translating to, "I value this websites rating system, you should too."

You place this website on a pedestal because for one reason or another you approve of it, and question why does anyone reject the website you approve of.

legendary_zell posted...

This has nothing to do with anything I said. I'm sure you prefer I said something this basic so that you could respond with this quip, but I didn't. Respond to what I actually say or don't respond at all.

I did. You are literally dissatisfied people aren't agreeing with a site you apparently approve of.

Is there anime tiddy fanservice in it?

He's the only other user I know of on this board that made this his entire gimmick/personality on this board.

Are the people who have an issue with this site unfamiliar with the concept of political rating organizations? They're all biased by definition, because bias often comes with interest and expertise or a stake in a specific issue. I doubt you'd categorically reject a NARAL or EFF or Planned Parenthood or Center for American Progress rating.

All Republicans obviously get an F and can't be pressured. Democrats can get anything from an F to an A, which makes rating them worthwhile, and they can improve or get worse.

This stuff is obvious, you are choosing to pretend not to understand it to deflect from criticism concerning the Israel Palestine conflict.

"I approve of this websites rating system, you should too!"

I don't think people assume it will just instantly get fixed, but I think the idea is that all the new work needed to for newer forms of energy are going to tax the world significantly less than continuing down our current path.

There's definitely those who don't factor how resources work in the grand scheme of things and just how taxing ALL of it is on the environment.

Evident by just listening to them thinking the world problems will be solved and not even factoring just how much goes into resource management and how taxing it is on the environment.

That being said, your post is digging into something my post is not arguing against, so I'm not sure what's your point in replying to me.

Do you think technology will alleviate many of the concerns you stated?

Most definitely.

But mitigation and alleviation should not be confused for getting rid of the problem like some believe.

It's also often forgotten that tech to alleviate the problem, proposed solutions also involves taxing the environment too, to get us there. Which isn't going to be the fast and easy journey some imagine it to be.

Like clean renewable energy. I support the idea completely. But some seem to imagine that shit is produced without harming the environment. To produce and distribute this stuff we still have to harm the environment to get there. It's not as simple as some imagine of, "just go green" or "just install something eco friendly."

There's steps and resources and manpower that require resources, and infrastructure that also needs resources, and the waste produced from all of that, and so much more needed that's all taxing on environment to get us to that point.

I'll stop you at the first sentence. None of my posts argue we need to reduce the population to solve the world's problems. You inserted that extra detail based on whatever preconceived notion you have I'm arguing.

I simply stated that logistics, housing, food, and land is not going to solve our current population of the planet being taxing to environment. Claiming so, shows just how much you don't understand how resources come to be.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

You're right, you're not living in a fantasy world. My apologies, let me rephrase.

In your wishful dream world we can.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

In your fantasy world, I'm sure it is.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

No we can't.

We could mitigate those things, but we most definitely could not stop the damage it's doing to the environment. Resources aren't as easily and readily available tax free to the environment. It just isnt.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Overpopulation is definitely part of the problem.

The damage to the environment literally comes from the resources the population uses.

This means the toll on the environment for material.
The toll to refine material on the environment.
The toll on the environment when factories create products from those refined material
The toll on the environment to get rid of the waste that factories/producers create when making your products.
The toll on the environment to transport that product from producer to seller. (Infrastructure for transportation is not readily available all over the planet. It just isn't. Also if your answer is to just make infrastructure, that also requires a lot of resources.)
The toll on the environment to store that shit in a store or warehouse of some kind so you cans shop for it.
The toll on the environment to get that shit to your house.
The toll on the environment to get rid of the waste you produce from that product you bought. Waste does heavy damage to the environment, and waste isn't easy to deal with for all material. It just isnt.
The toll on the environment for literally everything I listed involves less unfortunate people doing each and every thing I listed above needing resources to do the things I listed aisn't.

I barely scratched the surface here. You seem to be under the impression that resources come and go like magic given its not being considered here. That the electricity or water or clothes you where or the electronics you use dont just poof into existence. That there's a toll on creating, transporting and getting rid of waste so you can use even use the most basic of necessities.

Logistically we could definitely mitigate our problems. I don't think anyone disagrees there. However mitigate doesnt mean get rid of the problem.

Also 2 things can be true at the same time. The population can be part of the problem, and rich people can be hogging a lot of the worlds resources.

But again, the idea that our population isn't a problem to the planet is just not true. The population is definitely taxing to the environment even if we mitigated resources.

This. Basically the idea is that regardless of who takes the presidency, it is regular people helping each other out every day that will be what is needed.

Regular people helping each other out is definitely needed, but I'd still caution on messaging on "regardless who wins." As who ever wins will most definitely affect how well regular people can help each other out everyday.

This isn't exactly an election that doesn't matter who wins. One candidate has openly declared he wants to end democracy and we have a party that has openly laid the groundwork for day 1 to install loyalists that will make sure the failures of Jan 6 and overturning elections are repeated but successfully.

Multiple reasons.

One being bad faith actors embracing the crazies into government office which normalized some of the extremes.

If his message was "it doesn't matter who wins the country will be fine" that's definitely a bad and incorrect message.

(I only skimmed and saw the last minute or so of the video.)

There seems to be a misconception overpopulation means unused space.

Like do some of you really not understand how resources work or the damage to the environment more people being born does to the planet.

As others have said this isn't simply about housing or feeding people. That shit takes resources that do not spawn out of no where. To those thinking its just a logistical problem, you do not understand how resources are produced, processed, transported, brought to the consumer and disposed of. All of which takes a toll on not only the environment, but the middle men you are unaware of that helped you get those consumer end products.

This is not just a free space, food and housing problem.
