| Topic | David Cameron named UK Foreign Secretary |
| coolguyjimmy 11/14/23 4:04:20 PM #36 | UnfairRepresent posted... Kind of This is deeply false. The House of Lords can introduce laws, just like the House of Commons can. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/legislative-process-taking-a-bill-through-parliament: Most bills can begin either in the House of Commons or in the House of Lords. The government will make this decision based on the need to make sure each House has a balanced programme of legislation to consider each session. However, certain bills must start in the Commons, such as a bill whose main aim is the imposition of taxation (the annual Finance bill is an example of this). |

| coolguyjimmy 11/12/23 9:45:12 AM #11 | Glob posted... There certainly is corruption but that generally isnt one of the forms it takes. Why do you dislike the idea of it so much? Because it more easily allows prejudice, and discrimination to permeate. If your previous boss is, say sexist, or racist, or plain just doesn't like you (or you didn't contribute to their 50th birthday present [corruption]) -- why should they be allowed to have any ability to effect your future employment? Better for a faceless HR, to just confirm how long you've worked somewhere, less chance of such things occurring. |
| Topic | I don't see why people don't give full efforts in jobs that don't pay much |
| coolguyjimmy 11/12/23 9:40:01 AM #9 | Glob posted... It depends on the country and the profession. In my profession and country, a reference like that would more or less guarantee you wouldnt be considered for a role. That doesn't sound good, and sounds like a country rife with corruption. |

You've never heard the idiom "Make something out of nothing"? To raise a fuss about something minor, trivial, or unimportant; to exaggerate or put too much focus on a minor issue and make it seem like a major one.(Often uses the actual word"something.") https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/make+something+out+of+nothing |

| Topic | Swedish nationalists freaking out over soda as usual this time of year. |
| coolguyjimmy 11/10/23 3:12:01 AM #21 | In the UK, they literally ruined it -- because it had sweeteners, but then they went back to sugar (last I checked). I'm unsure what it'll have this time, because it seems to alter. At least, there's always Apotekarnes, that seems to be the sugar variety of Julmust. |

I could smell the ammonia as soon as I got out of the car. She bought me some food and it was all I could do to get it down after going inside because that cat piss smell was sooo strong. Whole time I'm thinking how are you brave enough to invite anyone over here lmao have you smelled your house. You know humans have sensory adaption, right? The girl at work, doesn't smell her house anymore, anymore than you smell yours. |

| coolguyjimmy 11/04/23 9:31:34 PM #6 | Yes, if your dad marries a woman's daughter, and you marry the woman's mother, you would be your own Grandfather, legally speaking (It's probably illegal most states, though... I suspect a few countries in Europe it would be legal, though). |
| Topic | You are a 4'2" tall monk watching a blonde robot girl... |
| coolguyjimmy 11/03/23 6:55:57 AM #25 | chaos_knight posted... I know, but still kind of amazing the series never delved more into it. Or even really questions what Tien even is in canon. Tropes are often used in storytelling for that exact reason, they don't need to be explained, or steps can be skipped. It's why the sentence "She took the single red rose, sprayed it with hairspray, and touched a flame to it while whispering "bastard", tells a whole story and works in modern Western media, because of the tropes, and certain things can be missing from the sentence and it still paints a picture and a story. In other times, say before the Greek age, Middle age and Victorian age cemented a rose (especially the Victorian age with it's "Language of flowers" as a symbol of love/longing) the story wouldn't make nearly as much sense. |

| coolguyjimmy 11/03/23 6:45:06 AM #18 | chaos_knight posted... ...Kind of amazing Dragon Ball never explored that race more. Just mostly 'hey here's a guy with a third eye and he's the antagonist for one arc' They're kinda a trope in Japanese media (three-eye people/demons), as "Oni" are often depicted as having three eyes, as are their descendants occasionally. |

| coolguyjimmy 11/03/23 6:33:15 AM #9 | chaos_knight posted... More like Tien, but that's like winning 20th place in the Olympics at this point. Tien isn't "all" human: "The Triclops[1] ( Mitsume-jin, "Three-Eyed People") is an ancient group of three-eyed aliens from which Tien Shinhan is descended" https://dragonball.fandom.com/wiki/Triclops |

| Topic | A JRPG series that begins with the letter "P". |
| coolguyjimmy 11/02/23 12:34:48 AM #22 | Panzer Dragoon Saga (Literally), even though I played Phantasy Star (only the fourth, and all the PSOs), I don't consider it a JRPG series, since Phantasy Star Online/Phantasy Star Universe dominates my mind when I think about it, and they are more Online Role Playing Games/Hack and Slash. |

Anyone in any of my companies who spoke about anything similar would be blacklisted by the industry and never work in games, again. Any small companies that tried for micro transactions would be "hostilely" taken over, and everyone working there would be blacklisted forever to never work in gaming, again. |

| Topic | Characters using idioms that make no sense within the setting |
| coolguyjimmy 10/28/23 1:20:45 AM #42 | A couple of these mentioned, might not be due to the setting, or lore thereof, but more the translation from Japanese to English. Tales of Arise, and Xenoblade 3 are originally in Japanese, and it's the translators who translated the lines of "Ace up their sleeve" from Japanese. "Ace up their sleeve" probably flows better than a literal translation, and the Japanese it's translated from, might make sense Lore-wise. |
| Topic | Women vs Men running at night |
| coolguyjimmy 10/19/23 10:00:44 PM #67 | willythemailboy posted... I wish we could harness this level of backpedaling to generate renewable energy. We can't include Gang-related stuff in statistics with men, JUST BECAUSE (although with the caveats below, we can include it or not, it doesn't make a difference). Then we can't include men who attack shorter men, because that doesn't coincide with our worldview, or men who attack men bigger than themselves because it's clearly an ego issue, or men who attack men the same size as themselves as that's clearly an opportunist thing. We can't include any women who attack men, because... it's clearly a patriarchal issue. Therefore men who get attacked at night is literally ZERO (0). There Done. |

| coolguyjimmy 10/10/23 6:54:52 PM #37 | It's not illegal in the UK (even marriage is legal) [First cousins can marry, and have merriment], so I dunno where you got your graphic from, but it's incorrect: https://metro.co.uk/2018/08/01/can-marry-cousin-uk-family-members-illegal-marry-7785320/ Neither is it illegal in all US States, for example in Rhode island: "No person shall marry his or her sibling, parent, grandparent, child, grandchild, stepparent, grandparents' spouse, spouse's child, spouse's grandchild, sibling's child or parent's sibling. Consensual incest between people 16 years old or more is not a criminal offense." |
