Topic | If Trump loses in November but doesn't leave, would you protest? |
nemu 07/18/20 11:18:47 AM #4 | While I'd expect Trump to be a petty bitch about it, I don't think even he's stupid enough to go that far. It's a funny meme, but it's kind of silly to turn him into even more of an evil caricature than he already displays. |
Topic | Upload consciousness, heaven exists, or $600 billion |
nemu 07/17/20 7:43:43 PM #6 | Heaven definitely. As long as it's not the "everyone sheds all human thoughts and become a hivemind with god" interpretation, there is literally no reason to go with the other two. |
Topic | Woman escorted by POLICE from gym because they said her SHORTS were too SHORT!! |
nemu 07/17/20 7:33:31 PM #14 | Unless there's more context being left out like the shorts somehow being yanked up as she's exercising to expose some cheek, no idea how any one would ever complain about that. |
Topic | Spain orders cull of nearly 100,000 mink after they test positive for COVID-19 |
nemu 07/17/20 7:05:57 PM #11 | pick4six posted... They still want to harvest the fur? Lol just shows how stupid and greedy humans areWhy wouldn't you? Not like you can't let it sit for X days and disinfect it multiple times just to be absolutely sure. |
Topic | Origami King actually seems pretty good so far |
nemu 07/17/20 5:41:21 PM #6 | Watching some streams, I think I'll absolutely pass. The full tilt into the paper stuff being the main driving force of the game isn't as charming as they want it to be, and it doesn't particularly look appealing as a "Paper Mario action adventure." If everything was like that Gooper Blooper fight, I might have been more interested. I don't get why they ever stuck to random battles if they wanted to innovate. It just feels like a lazy half measure. |
Topic | Super Luigi Odyssey |
nemu 07/17/20 5:38:29 PM #5 | Odyssey definitely felt like a game made for DLC. You could easily tack on entire worlds for 5-10 bucks each. |
Topic | Anyone else hate stealth games or stealth missions |
nemu 07/17/20 4:35:50 PM #10 | Random stealth segments are the worst. Games based around it are fine. Games where both run and gun and stealth are viable options are the best, like Riddick or MGS5. |
Topic | GLAAD: there is huge progress in LGBT representation in film |
nemu 07/17/20 3:53:11 PM #7 | Is there even a particular endpoint to this? I really dislike the idea of quotas when it comes to this stuff. Fostering an environment in which they feel welcomed to act and people can feel free to pitch stories involving them is more important than some particular percentage. |
Topic | Paper Mario producer confirms series will be ass from now on. |
nemu 07/16/20 10:14:16 PM #12 | I was on the fence about giving the new game a shot, but that tipped me into the firm no category. It's just a damn joke at this point. |
Topic | Do you think it's inappropriate for employees to wear masks supporting BLM? |
nemu 07/16/20 6:38:10 PM #24 | Relient_K posted... For those calling if a political stance:Whether someone means it or not, the phrase is now inherently linked to an existing organization seeking political change. Wearing a shirt that has a similar phrase like "black lives are important" would be different in my opinion. |
Topic | Minimum wage workers cannot afford rent in any U.S. state |
nemu 07/16/20 6:14:48 PM #158 | Do that many people at McDonald's even make minimum wage? It may be a state by state thing, but I've see the ones around here hiring starting at $11. |
Topic | The developers of Paper Mario had an interview recently |
nemu 07/16/20 5:10:38 PM #29 | I hate everything about their development process. I know not every internal development team is the same, but fucking New Super Mario Bros would like to have a talk about the same formula working a dozen times. |
Topic | Minimum wage workers cannot afford rent in any U.S. state |
nemu 07/16/20 5:07:53 PM #117 | How many full-time working adults even making minimum wage in the first place? |
Topic | Is "showing roast beef" a turn-off for you? |
nemu 07/16/20 4:35:53 PM #7 | I'd say of the uglier ones, they all share that trait, but the trait in itself doesn't make them ugly. |
Topic | A lot of people on Twitter have seemingly forgiven OJ Simpson. |
nemu 07/16/20 4:33:08 PM #19 | I think some people forget that even the people who commit the most horrible acts are still human at the end of the day. Some can even change for the better. The issue with OJ is that he never served a day for his crime. If he had served his time, I wouldn't see any particular issue with it. |
Topic | Do you think it's inappropriate for employees to wear masks supporting BLM? |
nemu 07/16/20 4:28:10 PM #19 | If the company allows political statements associated with their uniforms, no. If they do not, then yes. I would say personal opinions, political or not, really shouldn't be expressed at all while on the clock, but each company can make their own rules. |
Topic | I still don't understand the fundamental concept of Bitcoins. |
nemu 07/16/20 8:02:38 AM #6 | All currency is founded on an innate trust it has value. People just value it as something with worth, with people behind the scenes trying to best manipulate its flow (as with all currency). |
Topic | Is China the 2020 Nazi Germany? |
nemu 07/15/20 9:56:07 PM #7 | Not currently, but the right impetuous could certainly drive them that way. It probably wouldn't be on race lines, but they're not above purging "undesirables" going by the whole Muslim thing. |
Topic | When statistics is applied to people is it racist? |
nemu 07/15/20 5:29:35 PM #10 | There are definite ways to apply a racist view to things. Like all the shit about IQs or people who use crime statistics to act like Group X is inherently bad because they make up XX% of crimes and that kind of shit. |
Topic | belle delphine uploaded a new video |
nemu 07/15/20 8:58:09 AM #112 | It's insane that her business model is at all sustainable, but I guess staying in the news for stupid shit just brings in the obsessed. |
Topic | I Dont Understand Why It's "Bad" To Go After A Girl Who Has A BF... |
nemu 07/14/20 10:28:35 PM #19 | It's morally a dick move, but the one who is doing the cheating holds much more blame. |
Topic | Would you feel bad if Trump was assassinated? |
nemu 07/14/20 10:25:28 PM #5 | Excluding all the people affected by the inevitable chaos, I don't think I'd feel anything in particular. |
Topic | Nick Cannon has gone full black supremacist |
nemu 07/14/20 6:48:08 PM #132 | It just shows any ideology is open to cult-like behavior and otherism. Just gotta hope it never becomes truly mainstream. |
Topic | Zelda games better than Breath of the Wild |
nemu 07/13/20 6:24:41 PM #9 | It's quite superb. If you like the normal dungeon formula, I can see not liking it as much, but I think it's an acceptable deviation from the norm while still retaining the core identity of the series. Though I would certainly have no issues with the shrines being condensed into a more typical dungeon experience in the squeal or a spiritual follow up. |
Topic | Theodore Roosevelt with the last Triceratops. Taken in 1909. |
nemu 07/13/20 5:36:19 PM #20 | That is completely fake. Everyone knows dinosaurs escaped to the far side of the moon in the 1850s. |
Topic | Do you have a mostly positive or negative opinion on marriage? |
nemu 07/13/20 4:41:10 PM #19 | Pretty neutral. I don't think I'd ever get married, but I also don't scorn people who do. |
Topic | UK police arrest 12 year old over racist harassment of black footballer |
nemu 07/13/20 10:27:48 AM #62 | Slayer_22 posted... https://mobile.twitter.com/wilfriedzaha/status/1282273543208808450/photo/1The statement of coming to his house in KKK garb. I don't in a million years think the kid would have ever done anything like that, but a threat is a threat. Those should be pretty zero tolerance in our current society. I think a very stern visit from the police would be a suitable enough punishment. |
Topic | UK police arrest 12 year old over racist harassment of black footballer |
nemu 07/13/20 10:22:12 AM #54 | Ruvan22 posted... So there shouldn't be any rules on the internet? You should be able to say any racist/homophobic/violent thing you want as other people "should be able to take it or gtfo the internet"?Yes, you should be able to say whatever you want, with the exclusion of threats of harm, on the internet without facing legal consequences. People can block people. Platforms can ban people based on their ToS. Though in this case, there is a potential threat of harm, so it's not as cut and dry as if the kid had simply left it at racist insults. I think all threats should be taken seriously considering what some kids have done. |
Topic | Do you want DCEU movies to succeed? |
nemu 07/12/20 7:17:18 PM #20 | I think it's kind of impossible at this point. Even if things manage to be of better quality, they screwed up from the get go. They'll have individual successes for sure, but this interconnected universe is never going to pull together. |
Topic | Is it wrong to ask the Uber/Lyft driver if they had any calls to pickup arrivals |
nemu 07/12/20 5:01:46 PM #2 | I assume they have to follow fairly strict disinfection routines at this point, so likely not an issue so long as they have a good rating. I've never used one in my life though, so no idea how it works. |
Topic | Racecar fans help me out here. I dont get the sport. |
nemu 07/12/20 4:32:20 PM #5 | I think most cars are standardized. I think it mostly comes down to focus, using proper spacing, timing on when to pit, and most of all, not crashing. It seems to be more of a social gathering thing than anything else, just chilling out, getting drunk, and watching the pretty cars go round and round. Ultimately, seems boring as fuck, but to each his own. |
Topic | Your job is high paying but dispassionate. |
nemu 07/12/20 1:43:07 PM #6 | I don't think I'd stay in such a place for decades, but I could certainly put up with it for a while if it was really worth it. |
Topic | UK police arrest 12 year old over racist harassment of black footballer |
nemu 07/12/20 1:39:12 PM #20 | If it was just an insult, racist or not, I'd say unfair, but the implied threat of violence should definitely be taken seriously. I don't know if "taken seriously" should result in a pre-teen being actually arrested over a very stern house visit from police, but eh, I guess it's not like a pre-teen would be incapable of harming someone if they actually tired. |
Topic | IGN's top 10 open worlds |
nemu 07/12/20 1:34:32 PM #19 | Why GTA? Out of all open worlds, they're usually the most boring because they're realistic cities. |
Topic | NFL Player apologizes for questioning Jill Scott's attractiveness |
nemu 07/12/20 1:27:46 PM #39 | Herodopus posted... maybe im missing it but where was this politicized? also yea people are allowed to be dicks and others are allowed to call them out for suchTurning it into some kind of race thing like in the second tweet in the OP and his stupid likely lawyer-approved and written apology. It's a man calling a woman unattractive. The proper response should be to call him a dick, not act like this is some kind of racially biased shit. |
Topic | NFL Player apologizes for questioning Jill Scott's attractiveness |
nemu 07/12/20 1:22:18 PM #36 | On one hand, it's a dick move to publicly blast someone. On the other hand, it's a fucking joke Tweet, so shut the fuck up. People are allowed to be dicks. Just blast him back based on some personal characteristic instead of turning this into some political shit. |
Topic | Why are people trying to Mandela effect The Flintstones? |
nemu 07/12/20 11:44:08 AM #3 | Yeah, next they'll be saying the Jesons weren't called the Jesons. |
Topic | Unpopular opinion: Pokemon should add ''Trade evolution stones'' |
nemu 07/12/20 11:03:24 AM #6 | Can't you just outright catch most of them in the most recent games? Though the Wonder Trade system makes it super easy anyway. |
Topic | Michigan Girl had to get THERAPY after her SEXY HUSBAND transitioned to a WOMAN! |
nemu 07/11/20 11:14:47 PM #16 | It's entirely possible they're happy, but I really doubt it if it took eight months of therapy. |
Topic | JK Rowling created a Chinese character named Cho Chang |
nemu 07/11/20 6:48:37 PM #22 | Seems kind of dumb to act like the name itself is in any way generic when it's a real name. It seems the primary issue would be that it seems to be a Korean name. |
Topic | Why are other white countries racist? |
nemu 07/11/20 5:28:53 PM #15 | Any majority is going to have a problem with some minority. Western countries seem to have more of a focus on race than others due to the "melting pot" effect. Other countries seem more heavily focused religious discrimination or caste discrimination. Though race discrimination still exists obviously. |
Topic | Arizona Man accosted for wearing a Trump face mask at Bath & Body Works |
nemu 07/11/20 2:59:31 PM #110 | Any kind of unprovoked outburst warrants a major reprimand at least. I think everyone these days instantly being fired it a bit much though. |
Topic | Hollow Knight, Dead Cells, Salt & Sanctuary, Rogue Legacy... |
nemu 07/11/20 12:34:00 PM #5 | Hollow Knight is superb. Dead Cells is fun but I hand to savescum the Hand because I was starting to get bored. I think there's other content beyond that, but honestly didn't seem worth it. I liked Rogue Legacy's approach better because the progression allows you to either be a true Roguelike minimalist if you want or just keep gaining strength until you can push through. |

nemu 07/11/20 11:29:51 AM #2 | I think its mostly his wifes fortune. |
Topic | How people are abusing Wayfair to trafficking missing children |
nemu 07/11/20 11:28:31 AM #31 | In the world of $50k purses, Ill never understand why people are surprised with random, overinflated shit. |
Topic | How people are abusing Wayfair to trafficking missing children |
nemu 07/11/20 10:55:47 AM #5 | Yes, clearly someone evil and smart enough to smuggle children would indeed put the name of the children directly on merchandise for the world to see. |
Topic | It's been over 5 years since Fallout 4 got announced |
nemu 07/11/20 10:23:24 AM #23 | Nah, it just looked like it was going to be an average experience that deviated too much from a working formula for my taste. I doubt I would hate playing it, but I can spend my 40 hours on a game I'm actually hyped to play instead. |
Topic | Was it ok to call the police on George Floyd? |
nemu 07/11/20 10:09:32 AM #37 | ThisGuyAreSick posted... First off, I don't. It's second nature for me to not put myself or the lives of others in danger from my actions, let alone driving. But that's besides the point. What the fuck does any of this have to do with me being a hypocrite according to you?The chance of you killing someone in your car (assuming you're an average, attentive driver) and the chance of a police interaction ending in the death of an innocent are both some sub 0.1% action. If you seriously think calling the police is a matter of incredible scrutiny, then you driving also deserves that same scrutiny. Murder by police is tragic, but don't overinflate it. As you will most likely in your life never accidentally kill someone while driving, you will most likely in your life never be killed by a cop even if the frequency in which you dealt with them increased by ten fold. |
Topic | Was it ok to call the police on George Floyd? |
nemu 07/11/20 9:58:52 AM #29 | ThisGuyAreSick posted... Yes, as you should. Driving a car can be incredibly dangerous for you and other people on the road, which means you should always be focused as much as possible and make sure to adhere to traffic safety laws.That's evading the question. Do you, every time you sit in your vehicle, seriously consider that you're performing an action that has a potential chance of death? If not, then your statement about calling the police is hypocritical. |
