Wait, just $100? I originally read that as $100,000.

bro when I was in school I use to print out porn from the library, one day I printed out a bunch of hentai and got caught xD

lol, what happened? Did the librarian comment on your level of cultural sophistication?

I'm not sure why this old story is being brought up again, but I still find it unnerving. The officers thought it was illegal porn, but nobody actually bothered finding out for sure. I have a sneaking suspicion that the genuine article doesn't try to pass itself off as a legal, professional production. And if they genuinely felt certain it was illegal, the DVD wasn't handed off to some other agency to help track down any victims who would have quickly identified the actress as an adult? What about the prosecution? The judge? How did the case not get tossed out after the defense pointed out the actress was a well known legal porn star? I mean, that must not have worked or they wouldn't have needed to fly in the lady herself.

A couple of years ago, I saw an article on a tech news site saying that the FBI was using some kind of automated software to find alleged pedophiles. In any case where the defense demanded to know what the software was doing, the FBI dropped charges. And then even further back, back in the day of people downloading lots of porn, the FBI was sticking illegal material in otherwise legal downloads so that they could arrest more people and meet quotas.

Our justice system could use a bit of an overhaul.

I think my favorite part of the article was the fact that, unlike most "news" articles on Gamespot, that one had no comment section open. I don't care much for "news" articles that talk down to their readers and tell them what truth is either. I think Gina Carano's tweets range from cringe to abhorrent, but the article was still shit.

For the Snyder Cut to be worth watching, it would basically have to be a completely different movie with a heavily edited script.

Me neither!

@PrettyBoyFloyd
Neat. Do you know of any legal sites for watching the 1954 Casino Royale or the 1983 Never Say Never Again? I found the 1967 Casino Royale on Amazon. Thanks!

I voted for all 24 because I own the complete set of Bond movies. But are there more than that?

If he does that then his channel is dead.

With the departure of Mike--the only one who cared about games--it feels dead to me already.

Does anyone have a defense for this? Usually someone pops in and gives one even when there shouldn't be one to give. Maybe we need to wait for all the facts?

@ssjevot
So which is it? Are Japanese colleges strict or easy? And if they are easy, what do you mean by easy? Are you forced to give them good grades for doing no work? Is it just not as rigorous as you'd like?

they usually make their characters around the same age as their intended target audience

I've never understood this. You need to add 5 to 10 years to most characters to get what age they should be for how they look and act. As a kid, I never empathized strongly with characters based on their ages. And even if a lot of the younger audieces do empathize strongly with characters their own age, most of those characters still look and act like adults so...

The only genre that I'll give a pass to is the high school romance/comedy. i don't watch many myself, but just like American sitcoms, you do get some free elements to use from that setting in the way of a rigid schedule and large shared space for a variety of characters to interact in.

The suggestion of setting Persona in college rather than high school is common, and I think it would be neat. But I feel like it would end up being a bit more like Yakuza with the additional freedom the environment would provide.

If police can just enter your home without a warrant and just gather whatever evidence they want, then this is a police state pure and simple. What's gonna stop them from planting cocaine and pretending that they found it in your home?

The same thing that stops them from planting cocaine in your vehicle during a routine stop: nothing. The idea is that here cops can take such actions without a warrant for community safety. Like if an officer hears (or claims to hear) someone screaming for help, they can enter a house without a warrant. In this case, the wife did give them permission to enter, but it was negated by the lies they told.

You know what to do, gentleman.

Is it even possible that they would rule in the police's favor here in any kind of general way? Several of the Court's liberal Justices don't tend to favor expanding police powers, and I can't imagine the conservative ones will be in any way in favor of curtailing gun rights. If it were something else like drugs or porn, we might be in trouble. But entering a home without a warrant to seize guns? Either it will be a broad "no" or a very narrow one-time "yes" with lots of wiggle room.

If they're into lolis, they primarily watch loli anime, have loli dakimakuras, and have a shrine to their favorite loli.

That kind of behavior is a bit beyond the pale. I'd be worried about anyone with a literal shrine to a fictional character, but not as worried if it were a real person.

If they're into incest, they watch a lot of incest themed porn and have admitted they want to sleep with one of their family members.

My disgust would depend on which relative and whether it seemed obsessive or abusive.

If therapy hasn't worked, have you been to a regular doctor? Things like your thyroid being off or a sleeping disorder can be incredibly debilitating.

You should see a doctor about that.

The Walking Dead games are the best things in the Walking Dead universe. True, your choices don't lead to a completely different outcome (how could they given the resources that would be involved?) but I never felt like I wasn't involved in shaping the narrative. The controls are a bit clunky and some of the stuff that happens later on angered me a fair bit, but it was just a great experience overall.

My credit card hungers, and it must be sated.

I decided to give this game another try, but it just keeps closing itself on my phone. It's a shame as I thought the story was pretty cool.

I've kind of lost interest in Cinemassacre since Mike left the channel. James doesn't care about games, and whatever you think of him, Mike kept the channel focused on what mattered.

Complex and Facility were our number one picks.

Am I the only one who is surprised these things actually happen in real life?

Are these safe or NSFW? I have links set to text only.

I've often wondered if maybe the stress and loneliness of becoming such a success might not have damaged his mind.

I hope everything went well! I'm jealous of you studying all those neat subjects. >.>

Well...I don't think there is any harm in trying? Maybe it's just a first offer? Try for a few days and then pass the original bill if the negotiations are in bad faith. I hold out zero hope that they are in good faith, but trying at least looks good.

Grandia 2 was great until the second to last dungeon. I actually never beat the game because I got so lost.

I took the advice of everyone who posted and cut them off. All of the advice was helpful, but probably the best piece that came up was how I wasn't qualified to help someone like that so I wasn't doing either of us any good. I think I was being manipulated a great deal more than I initially suspected. The person was kind of scary actually and I'm glad to have it behind me.

This might be the best hentai ever made, and I'll fight anyone who says different.

And your sister let you?

I haven't played since launch. Have they fixed the performance issues yet? Are there any extra Rita units?

Its really not. My high school had shitty girls that wouldn't fuck in it. The second i tried dating outside high school it went much better.

Yeah, but were they fun to hang around with? I disagree with the TC completely, but it seems wrong to reduce the dating equation at any age to a simple question of how likely you are to get laid.

Where can I watch this? Someone said Netflix, but it isn't showing up for me.

All of the actors brought something special to the character. Connery was the best serious Bond, but I liked Moore's movies the best.

Some of the messaging out there said $1400, and some said $2000. I don't have a link handy, but I saw a lot of the $2000 messaging. It's fine if you didn't and are surprised by the "confusion", but there is a reason people were thinking $2000. Honestly, it needs to be $2000 or more. A ton of Americans are struggling right now in no small part because of the government's complete inability to handle the pandemic properly. American citizens were given $600 almost as an afterthought in the giant relief/spending bill and plenty of people are pissed off about that. Politically and practically, the Democrats need to make good on their promise of helping voters monetarily. Plenty of people saw $2000 and that's what they are expecting. It isn't just about paying rent, it is about jump starting the economy.

I can see some delay in getting the money out because of the coming trial in the Senate, but it needs to happen soon.

Actually, it was beer, not nicotine.

Wasted my mid 20s becoming an adult and it looks like my late 20s will be spent inside.

No, I'm not ready.

I'm living some variant of this, and I have to say, it feels bad man. x.x

Thanks for the advice guys! I really needed to hear it.

Just cut him off. He'll drag you down with him.

But what if they're serious about hurting themselves? Am I just taking on too much by caring?

I have an online friend that I chat and game with sometimes. We have some of the same hobbies, and they've been solidly OK when I needed advice or someone to talk to. I don't know them in real life and the only personal information I've shared is my first name. They were open from the start about having mental health issues and that some people find them hard to talk to. I think the number of people willingly subjecting themselves to this person might actually be zero.

Ordinary conversations with this person are draining. Even when talking about books or TV shows, it's like we are actually having an argument where they are dismissive and angry. Eventually, every conversation turns to themselves, and are those are something special. Every account of their life is overly dramatic, like something from a TV show. Sometimes they want to talk about old memories that are troubling them, and what they describe is completely over the top with strong elements of delusional fantasy. When questioned about the things that can't possibly be real, they become angry and defensive. In these cases, they don't seem to realize they are delusional. All the stories told are sad ones, and they are always the victim in each and every one.

Sometimes they make up horrible stories about themselves that involve something like abuse. These stories contain some nugget of "truth", like where it happened, but then everything else is made up for their amusement, which they later admit after they've wrung me out of sympathy and concern. I was told I couldn't take a joke. Sometimes they'll take something I've said I'm worried about and try and get under my skin. It often won't make logical sense and will always be mean, and will go on until they get a rise out of me. I'm told I can't take a joke and that they are trying to help me with psychological issues.

I've tried cutting this person off before and establishing healthy boundaries, and for a while it worked. And then a while back they started talking about dying in a passive aggressive way because of some kind of problem. Every time they talk about the problem, the details are a little different. It seems to involve money for sure. And maybe somebody coming to collect? I think they mentioned getting an old time dueling pistol or something ready just in case.

I want off this ride, but now I feel stuck. I offered the standard advice about calling a hotline if they felt like hurting themselves or others. As far as I'm concerned, they may as well have told me they just finished pulling Excalibur out of a couch cushion and were ready to die in glorious battle against a Demon Lord that would be swinging by for noon tea to collect drug money. But if they are in a dark place, maybe me leaving might push them over the edge. This could also all be intentionally made up for dark drama and their personal amusement. I'm also concerned a little about cyber stalking. I don't want to have to delete my main gaming account and make a new one just to make a clean getaway.

I know it was stupid to try and be friends with someone this troubled (their psychologist allegedly let them go and refused to refer them elsewhere because they are so toxic), and it was twice as stupid to try again. But I'm stuck with my naive choices and need to make better ones. What would you guys suggest? If anyone would like to message me instead of posting here, go for it. I'll take this topic down after a while because it's kind of embarrassing.

Sorry for the long post but I think this situation is sufficiently unique as to warrant it. And thanks for the replies!

Is this real?

Nothing, because the men who wrote it didn't know dinosaurs even existed. The whole 10,000 years things comes from taking the Bible's timeline literally and adding up the number of years since the Earth was created. It's honestly pretty crazy.
