Any time you go out of bounds your hat disappears and you automatically die. This is to prevent people from soft locking or going to places in ways you shouldn't be able. "Out of bounds" in SM64 is classified as any area without a floor (floating stages like Whomp's fortress have an invisible floor at the bottom of the pit).

I imagine the person must have clipped through the floor and thus put himself out of bounds.

2018 may not be a big win for the Democrats. Republicans are almost guaranteed to hold the Senate and may even increase their lead and while we may know why the average American will just see a Republican win. Among the house they need to flip 24 seats which puts the tipping point at Utah 4 which had their Republican candidate win with 12.5%. This is assuming the Republicans don't flip any Democrat seats.

Based on Georgia 6 things look promising, but you have to remember the district did not have an incumbent advantage and due to it being a by-election it had a lower vote total relative to 2016 and non-incumbent parties tend to perform better in them.

The issue of using Tinder for dating is even if you get a match there is still a great chance you are not compatible because it is hard to tell a lot about someone based on their picture and a couple of sentences.

At least it was like that for me.

I've heard McPhee's goal is to get as many draft picks as possible.

Not a bad plan, the team is going to be bad regardless. If they can pull off 1st and 2nd round picks over the next couple of years it could be beneficial to them.

Can teams trade draft picks to Las Vegas in exchange of not picking a specific player from their team?

Yeah, basically the law just extends the right to not be discriminated based on gender/religion/sexual orientation/etc to transgender people. In Canada it's being treated with apathy.

Yeah the downside to FPTP is that it favours a two party system, which in turn leads to lower vote turnout.

Though to be fair some of those seats won by the Conservatives would have still gone Conservative even if you add the Labour and SNP votes (which is already an unfair thing to do). Some people didn't want a second Scotland referendum.

In Canada we don't need a 2/3 vote or a vote of no confidence to dissolve government, the prime minister can go to the Governor General and ask for a new election. Traditionally this is done when the governing party elects a new leader though technically it can be done for any reason.

Relatedly, can somebody more familiar with UK Politics explain the mechanics of a No Confidence vote to me? I did a quick search and could only find that the current government has to resign/dissolve if it passes, but I couldn't find anything on the mechanics of the vote itself. Is it simple majority, supermajority, or what? What makes it different from the 2/3 vote that was actually used, aside from the political statement involved?

The no confidence vote only requires a majority. The 2/3 vote was placed to avoid people abusing their power to call elections at any time.

Of course the party could have gone with a no confidence motion, but the optics look poor because it would suggest in-fighting among the party.

I was thinking about this in relation to Trump. we would have had like 4 elections by now.

Presidents are a bit different, it would be more like if Paul Ryan decided to call an election for congress

They wanted a stronger majority so they put forward a motion to dissolve parliament.

However it takes a 2/3 vote for it to happen so they needed other parties to agree. The other way would be to have a confidence vote which would trigger an election if a vote of no confidence passed.

I feel their comments towards things like regulating the internet is what ultimately cost them a majority. There are things you don't discuss doing during an election campaign, regulating the internet has "brought down governments" or at the very least caused a u-turn in policy.

Honestly after Cameron stepped down there weren't many options to lead the party since many of them secretly opposed Brexit so a more right winged politician was selected. The thing about Brexit was that it wasn't voted entirely by right winged people, many centrists or left winged people felt it was the best option for the UK.

Yeah, at one point it was thought May could have a 100 seat majority.

Congratulations to BKSheikah for winning the guru

Yeah, I don't see May surviving this.



We're also hitting Sinn Fein not showing up to parliament having an effect territory.

A minority party can govern if it can convince other parties not to vote no confidence.

Of course that causes a lot of backroom deals for it to work.

No the SNP is a left leaning party, one of the few (if only) nationalist party that's left winged.

Those extra seats could potentially give her enough to team up with the DUP to form government. If not the nation may be looking at another election.

Conservatives have reached the point where they can no longer lose any more seats. Most likely they will have to depend on a Northern Ireland party to stay alive (probably DUP).

Er, is that before or after they lost CANTERBURY

Somehow.

They're 11 seats off pace, though have taken the lead over the Labour. They'll need the DUP to prop them up, but if they lose a few more seats that may not be enough.

Though we could have a scenario of the two parties not having a true majority, but enough seats to govern because the Sinn Fein refuse to attend parliament

The BBC has now updated its exit poll, and converted it into a forecast.

Here are the key figures:

Conservatives: 322 (up eight on the figure in the 10pm exit poll)

Labour: 261 (down five)

If this is accurate, the Tories would be just four seats short of a majority.

That means, with the support of Northern Ireland unionists, they could expect to pass a budget and a Queen’s speech, and outvote Labour, the SNP and the Lib Dems on key legislation.

Conservatives are gaining in Scotland (+3 already), it would be funny if they preserved their majority because of it.

Congratulations to BKSheikah for winning the guru

Based on the first three ridings (all easy Labour wins) a slim Conservative majority is still possible though I would like to see some debatable ridings report.
---

Congratulations to BKSheikah for winning the guru

Why do they have to wait for all the votes to be counted in a riding before they declare?

Looking at the estimated times we'll be getting most of the results between 6-9pm Pacific.

This isn't really a reply to anyone in specific, but I just wanna point out that if you accept the existence of trans people, you can't really make too big a deal about genitalia. Generally people are attracted to gender, not parts.

I disagree, humans are very much attracted to parts over gender. A straight male would be more attracted to a trans female over a trans male, assuming they have completed sexual realignment surgery.

I think you're working against your own point here? Of course a straight male could be attracted to a trans female, because she's female.

The second part to that sentence is important. They're attracted because she looks female, not because she claims to be one.

Though to be fair I’m completely ignoring other traits that a person may find attractive (personality etc.)
