True. The longer she stays in, the more he'll insult her, and each sexist insult can become an attack ad.

Yep that is the best thing about Biden being an incumbent. No debates or having to compete against another Democrat. No one is even thinking if Biden can beat other Dems like Trump has to deal with.

I think 2028 will be interesting when Dems have to fight each other again.

Wasn't there a survey a while back that a lot of younger men are single. Kinda hard to have kids if you aren't in a relationship to even be in that possible situation.

I thought it was a better controller thread. No idea why OP asked better console but posted their controllers.

Home invasion and gangrape. When I heard it I was thinking about how a similar thing happened to Fran Drescher in the 80s.

Can you even get a burrito and drink at Chipotle for $6.99 lol. This probably depends on the fast food place.

If I'm the backup kicker at Middle Tennessee State, I'm ecstatic with $600. If I'm the star QB at Ohio State, I'm already making pro money or better, so no biggie.

I was thinking the same thing. Backups get the same amount of money as starters. Some random punter will get the same as the Heisman candidates.

https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/39574788/players-opting-ea-sports-college-football-25-get-600

For over 11,000 college football players, Thursday will be the first chance to opt in to EA Sports' new college football game, EA Sports College Football 25, and get paid for it. EA Sports has finalized its name, image and likeness plan and will begin the opt-in process. Up to 85 players per school will initially appear on rosters in the game, which comes out this summer. All athletes who opt in to have their name, image and likeness appear will eventually receive $600, plus a copy of the game that's typically valued at $70. Athletes would remain in the game for their entire careers but could opt out of future editions if they choose. Athletes who remain in the game for multiple years will be paid annually, and players who transfer will continue to be compensated as long as they are on a roster. "We feel very proud that we'll be the largest program, likely the highest-spending program," EA Sports vice president of business development Sean O'Brien told ESPN. "And really an inclusive opportunity with an equitable distribution of funds across the board."

To help arrive at the $600 payment, O'Brien said EA Sports looked at deals completed with other sports titles, including the Madden NFL series, the NHL series and the company's soccer game. EA Sports' college football deal comes with no expectation of services provided by the athlete and will be guaranteed regardless of the game's success. "There's nothing been done on this scale that EA is doing, where every student-athlete that participates in the game is guaranteed revenue," said Cory Moss, the CEO of the Collegiate Licensing Company, which has worked with EA on the game. There will also be more than 100 additional NIL opportunities for athletes to work with EA Sports. These could include social media posts, on-campus promotions, advertisements or even being the game's cover athlete. And it might go further than college football players. O'Brien said EA Sports plans Herto pay athletes from other men's and women's college sports to promote the game.

How could you take the screenshot and it be zero if you weren't using the boards?

I know they removed the politics board. But wondering what has been the best thing they added to the site?

GameFAQS isn't an independent company. They are owned by Fandom and fired the previous admin a GameFAQs a couple months ago. If that is how they treat SBAllen can't think they would do anything for regular users.

Maybe they could even bring back Terrence Howard and Edward Norton as variants of Rhodey and Bruce.

If Secret Wars doesn't have Human Torch Chris Evans meeting Captain America Chris Evans I will be disappointed.

I could understand dropping characters in the previous Gen of movies. But with this multiversal stuff seems like it made it even easier to recast anyone. Just say they are a variant and recast.

Social media platform Reddit plans to sell a chunk of its IPO shares to its platform's users, the Wall Street Journal reported, on Wednesday. It aims to reserve an as-yet-undetermined number of shares for 75,000 of its most prolific so-called redditors when it goes public next month, the report said, citing people familiar with the matter. The users will have the opportunity to buy Reddit shares at its initial public offering (IPO) price before the stock starts trading, a privilege normally reserved only for big investors, the report said.The San Francisco-based company, which was valued at about $10 billion in a funding round in 2021, declined to comment. Reuters in January reported that Reddit has drawn up detailed plans for its IPO in March. It had filed confidentially for its IPO back in December 2021. The IPO market has not yet fully recovered as it has been struggling for the last two years with low volumes while several new entrants trade below their IPO prices.

How about that Reddit users having the ability to make money them going public and having a stake in company. Found out while GameFAQs was read only.

CE was ahead of their time with that Black Pope meme.

As part of the package Sweden also earmarks cash for the purchase of material through international Ukraine funds, and 1 billion crowns for the purchase of around 10 new armoured combat vehicles that will be ready for delivery to Ukraine in 2026.

Damn 2026 is the earliest for just that part of the aid. Hopefully Ukraine didn't suffer any major loses while they were waiting for this such as having to withdraw from a major towns.

https://www.advocate.com/news/transgender-student-death-raichik-walters

In Oklahoma, the death of a transgender student after they were assaulted in a school bathroom has sparked widespread outrage and sorrow. Nex Benedict, a sophomore at Owasso High School, was brutally beaten by other students earlier this month and died the following day. The incident has drawn national attention, with many attributing the violent act to a culture of transphobia they say is being stoked by state officials. The assault on Benedict, 16, happened on February 7, when three older girls attacked them in the girls bathroom, Tulsa NBC affiliate KJRH reports. A teacher intervened to stop the fight. Staff didn't call an ambulance, the outlet noted. Benedict's grandmother, who was their guardian, took the teenager to the hospital that day. They went back the next day after Benedict became ill. Benedict died that evening.

The grandmother, Sue Benedict, told The Independent that her child had been the subject of months of intensifying bullying that began earlier in 2023 after Oklahomas Republican-led government banned transgender students from using school bathrooms that align with their gender identity. I didnt know how bad it had gotten, she told the outlet. Benedict told their grandmother that they and another trans student had fought the other students in the bathroom, according to the Independent. The teen told her they'd hit their head on the floor. Sue Benedict said she was told by the school that her grandchild had received a two-week suspension after the assault. She said she was enraged that medical services weren't called even though Nex had bruises on their face. I was very open with my children to be who and what they thought was best, Sue Benedict told the outlet.They could talk to me about anything, as long as that respect goes both ways. A child needs to figure out who they are and what they want to be, and you cannot force it upon them. Nex did not see themselves as male or female, Sue Benedict said. Nex saw themselves right down the middle. I was still learning about it, Nex was teaching me that. This incident has ignited a debate about the safety of transgender and nonbinary students in schools, the responsibility of educational leaders to foster inclusive environments, and the potential consequences of spreading harmful ideologies.

Get off of Twitter guys.

There is probably more people on Twitter. Kind of like how Reddit has all those celebs doing AMAs. Celebs aren't coming to gamefaqs to do an AMA not that many people to promote their projects or even ask questions lol.

Kansas City police have said the shooting appeared to stem from a dispute between several people and not celebratory gunfire.

So is this meant to be like a bill where they claimed they did something? Not saying celebratory gunfire is good. But if that wasn't the cause for shooting why is that the thing they ban.

https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/yulia-navalnaya-temporarily-suspended-x-putin-1234971249/

The widow of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny was temporarily suspended from X, formerly Twitter, on Tuesday after announcing she would continue her dead husbands fight against Vladimir Putins authoritarian government. Since Navalnys death on Friday, Yulia Navalnaya has led a public campaign to pressure the Russian government for the return of her husbands body, and for cooperation from the international community in holding the Putin government accountable for his death. Russian authorities claim the imprisoned dissident died after a sudden collapse on Friday while serving a 19-year sentence at a prison in Western Siberia. Navalnaya created an X account on Monday, and posted a video accusing the Kremlin of keeping Navalnys body in order to hide traces of poisonous substances that may have been used to engineer his death. They are hiding his body not showing or giving it to his mother and they lie. Waiting for the traces of Putins latest Novichok to disappear, she said in the video.

Her account was suspended Tuesday after posting a video of Navalnys mother, Lyudmila Navalnaya, demanding her sons body be returned to the family. Im reaching out to you, Vladimir Putin. The resolution of this matter depends solely on you. Let me finally see my son. I demand that Alexeis body is released immediately so that I can bury him like a human being, she said, according to a translation from The Guardian. During the suspension, Navalnaya wrote on Telegram that she had been shadow banned Twitter has imposed restrictions on my account, which I opened yesterday, Navalnaya wrote on Telegram. Twitter representatives did not comment on what this was about, she added, noting that followers also reported being unable to find her in searches. Navalnayas account was restored after several hours. X claimed on Tuesday that her account was mistakenly flagged by the platforms mechanism against manipulation and spam.

The people who make those videos tend to be in the 18-22 range. That age group kinda grew up with Reddit, Twitch, YouTube as their gaming info/help. Not Gamefaqs.

Yep. One time my TIFU post was being discussed on one of those videos.

That can't be good if all these Dems in media are saying Biden should step aside and let someone else run.

Not just for President the down ballot too. Third party candidates have no shot at Governor, Mayor, State Senate, etc.

How in the holy mother of hell is Jackson so high?

I also find it funny Trump is ranked lower than the dude who died in like a month or so in office. Also interesting Nixon who resigned is ranked that high.

Kinda wished this chart had included if they were Republican or Democrat. Just as another table to check out along with the rankings.

Tyranthraxus posted...

It sounds like they asked an unrelated medic about witness statements.

Yea. I do think Putin had the dude killed. Just think this story isn't based on a good source. The guy died in a prison. Couldn't they speak to a prisoner who saw what happened. Or even whoever was this "they still tried to resuscitate him". Instead it is someone saying they heard this is what happened.

WingsOfGood posted...

Such injuries, described by those that saw them, appear from seizures, the unnamed paramedic told the exiled Novaya Gazeta newspaper.

The person convulses, they try to restrain him, and bruises appear. They also said that he also had a bruise on his chest. That is, they still tried to resuscitate him, and he died, most likely, from cardiac arrest.

So anonymous source and then this person goes "they". So this isn't a first hand account. It is a person talking about hearing from other people what happened?

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4475608-charlamagne-tha-god-blowback-wh-criticizing-biden/

Radio host Charlamagne tha God on Sunday revealed that he hears blowback from the White House when he publicly criticizes President Biden, calling it the stupidest shit ever. Speaking with ABC This Week co-anchor Jonathan Karl on Sunday, the Breakfast Club radio personality called Biden an uninspiring candidate and urged the commander in chief to lean more on Vice President Harris, whom he called more charismatic. Well, hes, hes just an uninspiring candidate, like theres nothing about Joe Biden that makes you want to listen to him, he said. He should be leaning on people who have are more inspiring than him, who are more charismatic than him. And he should just be, I guess, if you want to call it the brains of the operation behind the scenes. Like, that sounds crazy that were saying that about a president of the United States of America, but he has no main character energy at all. None. Asked if his opinion relates to the presidents age, Charlamagne said, I dont think it has anything to do with age I think it has just everything to do with him. Like Donald Trump is, what? Four years, three years younger than President Biden? But he just comes off a lot more youthful. He comes off like he has a lot more energy.

When pressed on whether he gets blowback from the White House for airing his feelings on Biden publicly, Charlamagne said, Yeah. And I think thats the stupidest shit ever, because I think that because I feel like you should be able to criticize whoever your elected official is, right? And even [if] I do criticize them, Im criticizing them because of what I see coming up in November. I see what were facing. So what Im saying to them, Where is the sense of urgency?' he continued. You cant keep saying that theres a, a threat to democracy, and democracy as we know it is going to be, be gone, but not act like it. Charlamagne, who rarely makes appearances on Sunday morning political shows, gave his remarks just months after he called on Biden to drop out of the presidential race, pointing to low polling numbers for the former president. Charlamagne further dug into the the narrative set around Republican candidates, claiming GOP presidential candidates are demonized in every election by the Democratic Party. They, they will demonize the Republican candidate. And now that theres an actual legitimate threat right there in our faces, theyre like, theyre like the party who cried wolf. Nobody believes them, he said.

Wow first Jon Stewart now Charlamagne is attacking Biden. Damn.

CE is for 13 year olds so it can't be posted here. But damn had no idea she was one of those celebs posting her breasts on IG.

In the US if a politician dies they get replaced by someone. Does that happen in Russia?

I remember last year there was this army guy that led a group staging a coup. People were cheering they thought this was the end for Putin. He stopped the coup. Then he died in a plane crash and you don't hear him or that coup mentioned again.

You're not asking me, but I want to jump in.

Do I have a problem taking a first date to McDonald? YES. I have a problem taking them to specifically to McDonalds because of the setting, it is not romantic, it is not conducive of having a nice meaningful conversation, there are usually lots of kids and teenagers running around. And it is not a special or memorable setting.

However would I take a first date for a cup of coffee and/or ice cream and then go for a walk in the park. ABSOLUTELY! That sounds like an awesome First Date. And that would cost half as much as a McDonald's meal.

Your example isn't the same. Video in OP takes place at the restaurant. If the dude wanted to take her for a walk at park after that is kinda too late. The complaining took place at the resturant. It would be like in your situation your date complains about the coffee/ice cream place you took them too. Sure you had plans after but that isn't going to be included in these type of videos.

Just read the top twitter comment

So y'all pulled into the parking lot then you got out walked in ORDERED a meal waited for it ........got it sat down and now you have a problem ....bet she eat that food tho

lmao so true if she didn't like that place why not say something when in parking lot so the dude could go somewhere else.

I don't remember exactly what happened, I just know one guy kept returning to troll people, which was particularly shitty since a lot of people were just trying to get help and unload problems with each other. I think Chill ended up losing it and just closing the whole thing down, but I don't remember if personal details were leaked before that.

I was pretty frustrated that he just shut it all down though, there were cool people and I felt like... we could have made it work. But whatever.

Why didnt that friend group just kick out the troll. And continue on. Seems messed up to end it over one person. Troll pretty much got what they wanted if that the case.

He closed the community board because some asshole was leaking posts, frequently of a personal nature, to make fun of them.

Maybe it me but I don't share personal info on this site for such a thing to be leaked. If I have personal questions I generally just google it and add Reddit. As opposed to coming here for help with life issues.
