This is my favorite Mike Pence story

https://www.cnn.com/2016/10/14/politics/mike-pence-body-image-question/index.html

WBNS anchor Scott Light asked Pence Thursday how he would respond to the girl, a Girl Scout who had recently visited the radio station, who told a staff member that Donald Trump's words and campaign commercials made her feel bad about looking at herself in the mirror.
"I would say to any one of my kids Donald Trump and I are committed to a safer and more prosperous future for their family," Pence responded. "The weak and feckless foreign policy that Hillary Clinton promises to continue has literally caused areas of the world to spin apart. The rise of terrorist threats that have inspired violence here at home. We've seen an erosion of law and order in our streets and we've seen opportunities and jobs evaporate and even leave Ohio and even leave this country. I would tell every kid that if Donald Trump and I have the chance to serve in the White House that we are going to work every day for a stronger, safer and more prosperous American."

Harris answer was crap but just because Pence came out with a longer answer doesnt make it any less crap. They both dodged the question. All it shows is that Pence is a better bullshitter. Ill leave it up to everyone else to decide if that is a desirable trait in our politicians or not.

Seems like its Xbox only. Im hoping it does come to ps5 eventually though.

The game is about 30 hours and it covers the major plot points so I would say yes.

New puzzles coming today!

Socially liberal. Financially somewhat conservative.

Credit Suisse one of the worlds biggest banks was 30% down earlier. Leaders round Europe are trying to calm the markets. Hoping this will blow over.

So do you think this would have happened if the guy hadn't abandoned his kid?

She probably wouldnt have done it but thats not the point. By 12 a kid should know the difference between right and wrong. As I said earlier. Had the kid stolen someones lunch box at school the kid would be responsible and punished and rightly so.

I asked the question of what age should a kid be before they should take responsibility for their actions. I didnt get one serious answer. So Ill ask you the same question.

If a 12 year old should still require constant adult supervision at what age should they take responsibility for their own actions?

Apologies for that. I didn't read through the entire thread.

Stuff

The kid was banned from the store. That's a store policy issue. Not a legal one. Unless I'm missing the part about her being arrested or something. Based on this from the article it doesn't seem it went that far:

Walmart declined the money and also declined to press charges for theft.

So, about that 55 mph speed limit on a 6-lane divided highway... is going 56 mph a license-revoking offense?

Whats this in relation to exactly? It feels like a call back to another topic but I cant work it out.

I think by 12 is acceptable to think the kid should know the difference between right and wrong. If the kid stole someones lunch box at school youd expect them to get in trouble for it and not expect oh they were only 12 they didnt know what they were doing and walk away Scot free.

This dude left his child alone in Walmart. The blame for this is 100% on him.

AtWhat age does a kid become responsible for their own actions?

Punished_Blinx posted...

Who said he didn't do that afterwards

No one. My point still stands though. Seems like a massive waste of money for blue balls.

Wtf why spend that much when you could get a high class hooker to do whatever you wanted for a fraction of the cost.

Yeah!

All kicking off over this plane incident over the Black Sea. Hopefully cooler heads prevail.

When I was working at Wegmans I'd frequently have people (adults!) hand me things like a half-full drink bottle or an empty chip bag to scan because they'd already eaten it which I thought was really shitty but nobody ever did anything about it which I guess is why they kept doing it.

Whats wrong with that? Ive done it before. As long as you pay for it.

He blocked me and I have no idea why. Might as well call him blockthemoneky

No as per the screenshot.

Not exactly 50 hours, but I got to the end of Metroid Dread with 100% item completion and still haven't gotten around to beating Raven Beak. Tried about half a dozen times, got frustrated, hopped on google and learned that I was only on phase 1 of 4 - with the key moving onto the next phase being one of those motherfucking perfectly-timed parries that I adore oh so much - and then let it collect dust.

Can't remember the last time I got up to a final boss in an RPG and couldn't be the final boss due to lack of skill, though.

Had the same issue with ridley on prime.

I also remember a bullshit boss in Lost Odyssey where you were forced to fight it using two of the weakest characters in the game and if you hadn't grinded with them at any point you were shit out of luck and essentially soft locked as there was no way to grind or recover your HP/MP before it.

Also in Lost Odyssey a late game boss in the final area where you had two teams and had to effectively kill two enemies within the same turn which was just such a bullshit moment due to how hard it was to time things.

So many games I've stuck with only to die at the final boss. The final boss should be a challenge but that challenge should be proportionate to the rest of the game.

Wolfenstein: The New Order suffered with this. I managed to play the game on hard. It was tricky but not to the point of being unfair and I made my way through. But the last boss was such a massive spike in difficultly compared to everything that came before it just became frustrating and felt unfair. I think I ended up dropping it down to easy to beat it in the end because it pissed me off so much.

"What fresh hell is this" is straight out of a Fraiser episode. Long may it continue that Dilbert channels our favourite radio shrink.

There have been some good incremental changes to the site over the years. I don't want to discredit some of the changes made. I can't imagine it's easy pretty much having the sole responsibility to manage the site and keep it going.

My only real criticism would be that it would be nice if there was more transparency about the goings on with the site. Especially with the recent Fandom business. There have been a total of 10 updates on the Announcement Board from him in the last year with almost none of them to do with the business side.

I'm hoping with a new admin that SBAllen will have more time to spend on continuing to modernise the boards and hopefully be more communicative with the userbase than he's had chance to be. It's good to see the feedback queues getting dealt with a lot quicker in recent weeks so I'm hoping only better things to come from everyone involved in the site.

Worried about what?

This being a repeat of 2008.

Does D2R have the ability to respec your character now or do you have to rerun the entire game if you want a new build? The biggest thing D3 did right was the ability to respec your character at will.

Two banks have now failed over the last few days with another that has ceased trading due to a 70% fall in share price. I'm not very au-fait with all this economics stuff but is there reason to be worried?

Do you think well go easier on them?

Oh good timing. Will wait for that. Hope they sort out the stupid settlement system and make it optional.

Or does the ps4 version play or look better on ps5?

got a hankering to play it again and curious if its worth doing so on os5 over ps4?

Fair play to her. She made her money and will probably never have to work again. I never got the fascination of her but she played her hand perfectly.

Weird to see the simps getting angry because they feel like she used them. Not like creeping on her wasnt creepy af in the first place.

Bobby Who?
