If you want to claim that it's not true that it's rare for there to genuinely be no low-cost options available, you're going to need to cite a decent number of examples in which that's the case. Just saying "gas money" as though the mere existence of a price on gas means it's impossible to do anything affordably isn't going to cut it.

A library?
And yes, factoring in gas money is a real thing.

It's not relatable if yourself claim there to be lots of low cost options to get about if it doesn't pertain to most people's experiences.

It's the same with saying "If you really want Switch 2, it's possible, on a salary of 30k with three kids and a mortgage, to still budget for one and balance all books perfectly".
Even if that is true, it creates anxiety and tension. It's a luxury that people 'feel' they should be frugal with, and the same goes for your 'low cost meal + tips + gas + parking + other arbitrary costs' example. Oh! You'll reply "but but u can get free parking! You can walk! Get the bus! Why u complain???"

Missing the point entirely.

I see comments about this a lot when people are discussing their struggles socializing, but I honestly think most of the time this is just what they like to tell themselves. Obviously I can't deny stuff is expensive, but it's just a nicer excuse to believe rather than they are too afraid to face their social anxiety head-on

When people say "don't you dare go out to eat/taxi/any service without 25% tip" it's kinda off putting

Guess that depends on who is advising you. My previous dentist and dental hygienist both recommended it, though we did have to switch twice to find a brand that did not cause (fixable) discoloration for me. Have a new dentist by now as the previous one retired and a new hygienist as I live elsewhere now, but neither has told me to stop with it.

You're right actually, the official advice is:

And I still consider the Synthesis ending to be one of the most horrific endings in any video game ever.

Not in my view. It's no more 'horrific' than having everyone be wiped out, or to be taken into a new world or to have their memory wiped of past events.

And since the ME3 endings were mostly just a thinly-veiled rip-off of the Deus Ex endings

Often, writing something like that is as much about crystallizing my own rationale as it is trying to convince other people. Whatever it does to change anyone's mind (and it probably won't do much, given who we're dealing with), I better understand and feel more confident in my position for having taken the time to compose and write that, and I do see some value in that.

That's strong confidence. Others will belittle you for needing to work out your position as you deliver it. It's weak to give an opinion without immediately being able to articulate every reason why, soundly, assuredly, and without stuttering . But I agree, clarifying it into words often helps strengthen confidence yourself. In that way I agree definitely.

It's hard to pin down total numbers because China's not exactly forthcoming with theirs, so it's possible that Covid killed more people in 2019 before it spread out of China than it did in the following years running rampant around the world, but I don't think there's any room to claim that the broader effects weren't much, much worse after that.

Yes i forgot, the first worldwide lockdowns were in 2020. I think that first year of it was the worst

Just never ever give a an opinion, or even express doubt in a hot topic. Listen to what others tell you the good option is. Do NOT ask to discuss it, even if you think the same as them, because the discussion will be seen as 'challenging' them. You can pour hate on any view opposite to theirs of course.

The acceptability of any given no-no word varies over time and always will, but what's constant is the need to be aware of your setting and your audience in choosing how to speak. There are always going to be things you should avoid saying around strangers until you know that it won't make them uncomfortable, and the interpersonal intelligence needed to recognize what is and is not appropriate is a skill that must be developed.

When you (properly) teach kids not to swear in public, that's not just a matter of "don't say that word." It's a matter of "some people here might not be comfortable with you saying that word, and you should respect that until you're more familiar with them and learn that it's okay." It's part of teaching them to read the room, which in turn is a critical part of teaching them to be a respectful person.

Quite simply, there's a time and a place for swearing. Kids aren't going to learn that effectively if no restrictions are placed on them, even if those restrictions seem silly to adults that have learned that time and place and don't see an issue with the particular setting in question.

I wouldn't have even wasted my time on delivering such a rational response.

There're a lot of technical differences between playing a game at 60FPS and watching a film at 24FPS. They're not really a straight-across comparison.

https://www.gamedeveloper.com/design/framerate-and-refresh-games-and-movies-are-not-the-same-

It is clear the framerate is different between say....BOTW vs Call of Duty. But i like the Mario Kart Wii single player vs MKW 4 player example above.

I don't mind 30 fps. Same way I don't mind CRT. But I recognise 60 fps is superior for videogames.

Saying that though, I'm someone who would say 1080p is fine and I don't need 8k

I disagree. HL2 had far more interesting world building imo. Plus HL1 tended to have obtuse puzzles imo and it felt unnatural to fight the ninja or stealth agents. The final boss arguably in HL1 was more mysterious and epic than HL2s, but....things like the NPCs helped a lot more in HL2.

This could definitely be true of a lot of older games, especially Point-And-Click Adventures where solutions to puzzles were so obscure and nonsensical and hidden amid a collage of gobbledygook. But newer titles absolutely take it into the opposite extreme and hold the player's hand through the entire experience, straight up handing you the solutions to even the most obvious of "puzzles". The Yellow Paint Epidemic is real.

HL2 proved that even in 2005, people needed a little bit of that. Can't just say "bad kidz 2day" or "y give any indicators at all".

The mods have created some kind of.....policy where someone they don't like can be modded unjustifiably, as long as they were modded justifiably in the past.

My most recent topic in Ask the Mods highlights this, I was banned for something specific, which wasn't justifiable, but because I had been modded before, and I was arguing with someone, they allowed it to stand.

Dems should spend the next four years praying every single night for Trump to stay healthy. And thinking about all the things they did wrong this time around, and planning how they intend to win next time. Or they'll just keep making the same mistakes over and over again.

Hint: A large part of it is admitting what THEY did wrong, not just blaming everything on Trump being charismatic and voters being stupid. That ways lies another Republican winning in 2028. If you don't acknowledge your own flaws, you can never fix them.


Your hint is something I think people could do with a lot more of, understanding WHY Trump won, other than just saying "only racists and extremist christians voted for him". From afar, I feel Harris didn't do as well a job communicating to the common person as well as Trump did. Someone like Obama did. He connected with the average person on the street. Obama would have won against Trump.

Say Russia attacked America conventionally, and was winning. Or China captured Hawaii and refused to concede it, defeating the USA conventionally. Or say Europe invaded the USA with a goal of taking over Washington.
Whatever the scenario, if no one uses nukes FIRST on the USA, would you support USA using nukes for defence, knowing the worldwide long lasting effect?
Is it ok to lose without having the entire world destroyed?

Is there a line? So USA obviously conceded Afghanistan and Vietnam, but what if they lost to Canada? Canada are not a dictatorship and USA could fight and revolutionise against some sort of hypothetical New Canada government in the future, but if everywhere is entirely nuked, is there even a world to take back?

Or should nuclear weapons only be used and saved for when someone else threatens them with nukes first?

And again, in the specific scenario of someone being offered dragon balls (literally any wish within reason can be yours and possibly many more in the future if you work hard) or a death note (an apocalyptic murder device that can do nothing but deliberately assassinate people in inhumane ways) and them openly declaring "please! please! give me the murder tool so I can use it!" there is no moral question about cutting that person off from society forever.

As opposed to actual murderers? "deathnoting murderers would be worse than people murdering" mindset. It could be used in self defence but then again there's a lot of rules that complicate matters.

In DBZ, they make a wish at the end of the Buu Saga to bring back all the people who Buu had killed, except the evil ones. That's similar , except it effectively wipes out ALL the bad people. Lot of issues with that obviously, I guess would asking Shenron to save only good people from being hurt be a good wish?

At that tier, though, specific rankings don't really matter. It's all just good and well worth listening to depending on your moment-to-moment tastes.

Needed: New Pokemon Puzzle League, Shining Force and Left 4 Dead....
I think people are unfamilar with the idea of dragonballs. You can't wish to be super powerful, only to have your physical limit enhanced. They're not the Super Dragonballs so you can't just wish for Gokus body, for example.

You can't wish for things beyond Shenrons power, so magicking in a death note is gone.

Still though, one decent wish to improve your life? You could wish only one person back from the dead I suppose if its the OG Dragonballs? Or for money?

Death note might help you sleep better by you eliminating all the wrong doers from the world, but...then you might be tempted to blackmail people. Or write all those who disagree with you, such as republicans or democrats who actively make choices to make the world a worser place in your view.

I think Dragonballs it is
