The first three terms would be fine but the last one wouldn't. Biden would be eligible but Obama would not. Once someone has been President for two full terms (I think there's a special case if one is only a partial term?) they can never be President or VP again.

To date, I have only finished three JRPGs is my entire life, Skies of Arcadia, Grandia II, and Final Fantasy X.

Of the three, Skies of Arcadia was my favorite.

You really need to add Grandia 1 and 3 to that list, the entire series is amazing.

Still havent played 9 because I didnt have a PS1. I played the PC versions of VII and VIII, and I emulated Tactics later. I just never got around to IX.

9 is available legit on PC these days. I'd recommend playing it at least once if you still like the genre.

The idf is pretty bad but you are wildly misinformed if you think they have been as bad as Russias army in Ukraine.

We have already discovered mass graves and we know they have been raping and executing civilians and pows.

They purposefully deploy neo nazis and convicted killers.

And yet, in over two years they've inflicted comparable harm to what Israel have in only a few months. Both are extremely evil but anyone who thinks Israel is not by far the worse of the two should be assumed to be biased.

As I'm sitting here trying to figure out what's worse I realize that there's literal Neo Nazis in the Russian army at all ranks and the fact that this is still a hard question knowing that is starting to bother me.

Russia's army has Nazis. Israel's army are Nazis by any definition that doesn't split hairs over exactly who the target groups are or aren't.

It's hard to say whether Russia's are less immoral or just less capable. Certianly, both nations' militaries are utterly evil at any rate and anyone who does not refuse to join them does not belong in a civilized world.

Was never really hugely into it. I liked Eminem a lot when I was a kid, but that was mostly "haha he swears a lot" at the time and I didn't have a clue what the actual meanings of his raps were. Outside of that, I used to not mind it and liked the occasional track but wasn't too huge on the genre as a whole, and that's still the case now.

Yes, I did so all the time when I was just legal for friends who weren't quite there yet. Wouldn't do so nowdays though, like maybe a single drink for a near-legal sibling but that'd be it (and at any rate all my siblings are legal age for both of those things now so that's purely a hypothetical).

FF7 and FF8 too many times to count, FF9 twice. Played Tactics but never got far; haven't played the spinoffs.

Maybe Crash Bandicoot? It's been a while.

Ah yes, the famous JRPG Crash Bandicoot.

Three FF options and the best FF isn't even on there? (At least the second best, FFVI, is.)

The answer is FFX.

Well, if I remember correctly, FF7 was the only RPG I had until I got either FF8 or Jade Cocoon, I forget which one I got first. So, one of those.

Only if they aren't actually one.

Ah right, weren't they the budget version of NSync?

No, the system does not mean that. Americans' refusal to acknowledge they have other options because almost all of them have a cult-like dedication to either one major party or the other, is why third party candidates don't win. Not because the system doesn't allow them to.

Teaching the history and cultural impact of religion is fine, teaching religious scripture itself is deeply problematic in public schools.

I would think if it's in the context of teaching a few of the most important verses (or equivalents) for each major religion to help understand it, that's okay..

The place to draw the line is if one major religion (or a minor one) is favored over others, or if any of them are being taught as actual truth.

ai123 posted...

I got taught world religions equally.

But it was in a neutral, descriptive way: these are the beliefs and customs of Muslims, Christians, Jewish people, Hindus, etc.

I think it's useful to know that stuff. Have a wider understanding of culture and history.

This is reasonable to teach. Pushing one of them as true is not.

I mean, if they do make a new Spyro game I'm gonna at least check it out if/when it comes to PC. Likewise if there's another Crash game.

Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down, never gonna run around and desert you.

Yeah, the oligarchy of Russia would likely have putin dead by the end of that day, tbh.

This. They'd serve him your potatoes and bam, that'd be it.

Yes. There was a time it was necessary. That time has long, long since passed, and it only survives on account of some people not being open to any ideas beyond the first one they hear.

Not quite but I owned an alt-righter and, ykno, horseshoe theory, so I'm sure it counts, right?

This was Vicarious Visions

In an ideal time Vicarious Visions would still be here and TFB would be the ones stuck in the Blizzard mines

IMO, ideally they'd both be around. Both did a great job with the Crash and Spyro remakes respectively, and Crash 4 shows they at least had a better idea of what makes Crash good than most other non-ND companies that have tried. (The GBA Crash games show this for VV.)

What astounds me is how so many supposed bleeding heart people only care about the atrocities the U.S. directly or indirectly supports when the media decides it's newsworthy. There is so much suffering in the world beyond our comprehension in first world countries, and it will only get worse if we lose our focus on the bigger picture.

Is Biden responsible for clearing up the messes in Afghanistan, Ukraine, and Israel to the satisfaction of both the left and the right? I'm sure he'd like to do something constructive, but the political pressures from all over would leave him in a perpetual stalemate.

Ideally yes, but there's also a HUGE difference between supporting an active genocide vs simply not cleaning up a mess you've made. The latter is bad. The former is outright despicable.

That's amazing.

So theres no need for additional details or facts, this just applies in every case and theres zero nuance. We are just going on the initial chaotic reports.

This is a huge problem on this board and why its dumb to discuss anything remotely serious here.

Because it has consistently come out that the initial reports are true and Israel's claims are lies. You don't believe or give benefit of the doubt to a chronic liar when up against a source that's been pretty damn reliable. The only reason anyone would do so is if they have a vested interest in the liar's side.

Even more so when their MO has literally been to lie and bury it, and ensure there's a new horrific event for everyone to focus on by the time the truth is absolutely confirmed (which again, almost always turns out to be the initial claim was true and Israel's denials were lies).

Money. One shot wouldnt be enough to clean this place up, and since theyre allowed to make alts, it would do nothing at all.

It would be more tempting if the ability completely prevented them from returning in any form, but even then Id have difficulty choosing whom to use it on.

It still keeps them off CE for 50 days if they don't have an alt. Think of it as like the Calm.

TC has done a series of these ($10 for 10th post etc), this isn't a one off.

Did you implement the fart button yet?

A lot of it also comes down to 1080 and higher content. To get PIP working and not lose quality you would need multiple HDMI cables from the source, not too many people are willing to give up a second input for the feature.

PIP would imply two sources already...

Ah yes, fuck the sovereignty of a nation. If your land used to belong someone else and they want it back, they're doing nothing wrong when they kill you.

Unless we're talking about Palestine vs Israel, of course.

can we unban people too?

No; you only get to be mods, not admins.

WingsOfGood posted...

would that just mean every mod got suspended?

Maybe. I'd only suspend a couple tho, I'd mostly just send them NWDs and NKLs for really dumb shit.

Making an empty gesture that supposedly shows support for a cause, for the purpose of making yourself look good rather than genuine care about the cause.

It's more commonly applied to companies than individual people. Think of things like when all the companies turn their profile pictures rainbow during pride month (but only in LGBT+-friendly markets, and while doing nothing else to show support).

you work at like a big box retailer right now, like walmart, you like it? I think i saw your topic on ask the mods about a thread that was deleted, what happened there?

I work at a supermarket. Retailers like Walmart aren't really a thing here. Yeah, it's all good.

Not gonna go into the moderation. I don't agree that it should've been modded, but I get the mods' reasoning and I'm not gonna take it any further.

Should just let us do both. Heck, let us post a bare ass with the word "fuck" sharpied on it.

Chicken butt.
