It looks like an oversized belt-buckle. I need to see someone actually carrying it, because in the pictures I've seen so far it just looks comically small for a championship belt.

It's literally the exact same as the difference between a beef sandwich and a burger, just with chicken. A chicken burger is made with a ground chicken patty. A chicken sandwich is made with any other kind of chicken.

Lets say for arguments sake, its true. How on earth does the legal system deal with this? Does he get tried as an adult even though he did it as a 9-12 yr old child, 40 years ago? How do you go about proving this? Im genuinely asking.

It doesn't deal with this at all, at least not criminally anyway. According to a quick google search, in New York state the statute of limitations for child sex abuse expires when the victim turns 28. So if this is true, he already got away with it decades ago if she's 51 now.

The best they could do is investigate him and try to find other victims who were more recent and thus the statute of limitations hasn't expired on them yet and go after him for those crimes. But of course for that to work there has to be other victims to find.

The first one is a near-perfect execution of Metroidvania style gameplay in 3D.

The second is more of the same, but throws in some gimmicks, predominately the Light World/Dark World split that Nintendo loves so much. It's still great, but the gimmicks do detract from it a bit.

The third felt like Nintendo trying to cash in on the Halo craze. A run-of-the-mill mid-2000s FPS that didn't really feel like "Metroid" at all.

I dont know how much Canada cares about soccer compared to America,

It seems to be cared about a bit more than in the US, but it's still easily the least popular major sport after Hockey, Baseball, Football and Basketball and you never hear anything about MLS. Like if you go into a bar and they have soccer on it's going to be a European league or FIFA, never MLS. Hell, I can't even tell you the name of Toronto's MLS team, and if there's any other Canadian MLS teams I don't even know they exist.

Lastly, some historians see the addition of a red saltire as a commemoration of Florida's contributions to the Confederacy by Governor Fleming, who served in the 2nd Florida Regiment of the Confederate army.[9] The addition was made during a period of nostalgia for the "Lost Cause" around the time of the flag's change.[10][11] According to historian John M. Coski, the adoption of Florida's flag coincided with the rise of Jim Crow laws and segregation,[12] as other former Confederate slave states, such as Mississippi and Alabama, also adopted new state flags around the same time when those states instituted Jim Crow segregation laws themselves:[12

And in the very same Wikipedia article you pulled that from...

In the late 1890s, Florida governor Francis P. Fleming advocated that St. Andrew's Cross be added so that it would not appear to be a white flag of truce hanging still on a flagpole. Floridians approved the addition of St. Andrew's Cross by popular referendum in 1900.[7] The red saltire of the Cross of Burgundy represents the cross on which St. Andrew was crucified, and the standard can be frequently seen in Florida's historic settlements, such as St. Augustine, today.[8]

eh, I say if a pizza is literally dripping with grease, it's too fucking greasy

This. I typically order pepperoni, sausage and bacon on my pizza and they're pretty greasy because of it. However even with that much grease I don't typically have the cheese and the toppings literally drip off as soon as I pick it up. If it's so greasy that happens, it's too greasy.

And personally the crust was way too think on that. It really did look like a baguette around the edge of that pizza. Some people may like stupidly think crust on that (although apparently that restaurant advertises that as the "thin"?) but I don't myself.

As long as they aren't armed yeah. IDK about destroying supplies

Attacking food and water supplies and "other materials needed for survival" is outlawed by Protocol I of the Geneva Conventions.

However Protocol I has not been ratified by the US government. It also hasn't been ratified by India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, Israel, Iran, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Somalia and Eritrea. Not exactly a group of countries with great human rights records.

I've never had a direct interaction with cops but I was a passenger when one of my friends go pulled over by a dickhead cop.

We were pulled over for speeding (she was doing around 90 in an 80). The officer immediately began berating her claiming she was doing 140. Right off the bat this was BS because going 50 or more over the speed limit is "stunt driving" in Ontario which is an arrestable offense, not something where a cop just yells at you. After she provided her license he then gave her a hard time about her picture claiming it wasn't her since she had blonde hair with no glasses in her photo but brown hair and was wearing her glasses at the time.

She kept her cool though and stayed respectful and didn't give him anything to use against her, she just took her glasses off and informed the cop that she frequently dyes her hair. So then he decided to claim that her license plate cover is illegal. You know those plastic covers that dealers put around your license plate with the dealers name on it for free advertising if you don't take it off? One of those. She calmly asked why the dealers put them on if they're illegal and when the cop didn't have an answer she said that she would remove it as soon as she got home anyway. The cop, realizing that we were not going to say or do anything to escalate the situation finally just told us to go and stormed back to his car in a huff like a toddler throwing a tantrum.

I know in terms of negative police interactions this was ultimately tame. He never ordered us out of the car, nor were any weapons drawn and he didn't even give her a ticket for the 10 over the limit she was doing (although that might be because he opened the interaction with a completely ludicrous claim that she was going 60 over the limit). But this situation also could have been much handled much better with the cop simply informing my friend that she was going 10 over the limit and giving her a warning or a ticket and calling it a day. It was so blatantly obvious that this guy was trying to be a "big man", looking for trouble and trying to create an incident so he could swing his dick around and assert authority which unfortunately seems to be the mentality of many cops.

I'm not sure I've ever done Tali and Liara together in the first game. Usually I run one of them with either Garrus or Wrex if I'm not just running with Garrus/Wrex the whole game.

For the second, Grunt is a great character. If you've never done a playthrough with him, definitely use him. I typically run him with Garrus, but since you've obviously used Garrus I'd say run either Mordin or Tali.

For the third, you could return to Tali and Liara like the first. But if you've never done a playthrough with Javik before I would recommend doing that at least once (assuming you have the DLC for him of course). I was never crazy about the character, but he does add some lore to the game and some funny interactions that you miss by never using him.

Real mayonnaise is awesome. Miracle Whip can fuck right off.

I mean if it's literally exactly the same with absolutely zero changes, no. Or at least I'll wait for a sale (which will probably be years knowing Nintendo).

But I doubt it'll be exactly the same. It might be based on the same world, but there will be new towns, terrain shifts, maybe a new island or something. Plus they can easily add new things like proper dungeons in places that were previously empty. I have enough faith in them to make it feel fresh again even if they're using the same map.

How is White Castle not winning? What the fuck is wrong with this place?

I'm willing to give everyone that didn't vote for White Castle the benefit of the doubt and assume they've simply never been to one. In which case they're lucky.

I admittedly have only been to White Castle once, so maybe I'm being unfair and was just at a bad location, but it was by far the worst fast food experience I've ever had.

Lastly, my problem with the Illusive Man is that 3 makes him an idiot. Where the hell did he get that Reaper from(it looks like the one from ME2. If so, how did he even salvage it?)? And why would he think it would be a good idea to keep it in his personal space station, given that Cerberus knows all about indoctrination?

I forget where but somewhere in the game it's mentioned that Cerberus was able to salvage some of the human reaper remains from the Collector Base if you didn't hand it over to Cerberus. Although it's never explained how they did this considering one would need the Reaper IFF that's on-board the Normandy, and only the Normandy, to travel through the Omega-4 Relay to get to it.

Basically it's another one of many examples in ME3 of shoehorning in a bullshit excuse to make the story play the way they wanted it to if you didn't make the choices they wanted you to make instead of actually making the game play differently depending on what you did in the first two games. Like the Reapers just creating their own Rachni if you killed the last Queen on Noveria, or some other Salarian just happening to create a Genophage cure if Mordin died in the Suicide Mission, or Tali returning to the Migrant Fleet even if she was exiled in her loyalty mission.

Probably Ultima IX: Ascension. Just an absolutely broken and horrendous excuse for a video game that completely shits on the 9 games that preceded it.

You can't get AR-15s and shit like that,

You actually can. Semi-automatic rifles in general are legal with a restricted fireams license, which for those unaware is the same level of license needed for most handguns so the "restricted" title doesn't mean it's rare and hard to get. And while there are several specific platforms of semi-automatic rifles that are banned by name (Kalashnikov variants for example), the AR-15 platform is not one of them.

Don't know why people use Vimeo, its rules are just as bad as YouTube's but there's less of an audience. Site sucks.

Might as well just go to Dailymotion.

He uses all three, but for Youtube he has to use a funky picture-in-picture layout to avoid their copyright system and Dailymotion in recent months has starting removing his videos after a day or two. Vimeo was the one that was the most consistent for him until now.

A school district isn't the largest company in the world headed by the richest man in the world.

We're also not talking about borrowing someone's PTO to visit their mother in Montana or something, we're talking about recovering from one of the worst global pandemics in the last 100 years.

Also isn't Italy considered to have the most corrupt government in Western Europe?

Well let's put it like this. On the 2019 Corruption Perception Index Italy was tied for 51st along with Rwanada, Grenada, Malaysia, and Saudi Arabia.

Now granted I have no idea how the hell Saudi Arabia was that high, I would think they should be way lower. But the point is that Italy was placed at the same level of perceived corruption as an absolute monarchy who openly assassinates dissident journalists in foreign consulates

If the emulation is good and it's as easy to modify as the SNES classic then probably. However unlike the SNES N64 emulation is much harder so it's quite possible it won't play it's stock games well and even if you can mod it for more games many won't work at all or have really obvious issues.

I got 15/20. Missed Javanese (though I entered Indonesian and it credited me with Malay when Javanese was the one I was thinking of), Telugu and Marathi (literally never heard of these before), and Vietnamese and Tamil (simply didn't think of these two).

Twilight Princess was just a massive disappointment. After years of delays we got a 20 hour game stretched out to 60 hours which made it empty, lifeless and boring. It was littered with numerous recycled plot points that made it feel incredibly uncreative. The wolf gimmick was monotonous and tedious. It's only real positive was the soundtrack. Between this and Minish Cap, which I also didn't like, I didn't play another Zelda again until BotW came out and breathed some life into the incredibly tired formula.

That said, after BotW I went back and gave Skyward Sword a shot and it was so bad it remains the only Zelda I've played but never beaten. I quit about halfway through. Even TP and MC, as much as I disliked them, I still saw them through to the end. With Skyward Sword I couldn't even do that.

Anakin's force ghost actually creates a plot hole. Why does Anakin de-age 20 years as a ghost but Obi-Wan and Yoda appear exactly as when they died?

The rest are stupid changes that didn't need to happen, but none of them actually harm the story like Anakin's force ghost does. And in actual fact Boba Fett's voice actor actually closes a plot hole since he's a clone of Jango he should have the same voice.

I don't mind their chicken but Canadian KFC has the absolute worst fries on planet Earth and unlike KFC in the States, there's no other options for sides here like mashed potatoes or potato wedges and they won't substitute a macaroni salad or corn for the fries. So if you order a chicken sandwich combo or something you have no choice but to get shitty fries with it.
