congrats!

unfortunately there's not even a board for level 39 users :-(

I'd assume that's because there aren't any level 39 users yet.

I love that the President decided to go full valley girl while trying to convince everyone he's a genius.

I bought this game like 5 years ago I feel like. It was on my iPhone 3GS when that phone was new so its definitely been a while.

My point is if you have a remotely new phone it should run flawlessly.

clash of clans/clash royale

I know those are popular mobile games but no one irl and even on here talks about mobile games ever.

I don't play CoC, but I've played Royale since release basically. I usually hit 4700-4900 each season. X_X

Just got mine, was hoping to grab Chrono Cross, FF Tactics etc.

But they're not there? What the hell? Is this a PS3 thing only?

Yeah PS1 games are only on PS3. It sucks.

I think the fact that may have been his intention without having said so is why I refuse to brand him a racist for it and remain on a wait and see approach. Questionable and definitely gives you a reason to keep an eye out for something definitive. I, however, do not think this is expressly definitive. Poor judgment yet again on station, setting, timing which I think is personally never going to go away at any point, but not definitively a showing of racism.

I gotta tell ya, a racist will never come out with a neon sign stating I hate all muslims (or a metaphorical equivalent of that). In most cases you need to use multiple smaller things that hint at it, get them all, and connect them all together to find the answer to the is he/she racist puzzle.

Like my grandmother in law, shes never outright said I hate non-white people, but Ive gotten enough puzzle pieces to tell you definitively, she does not like em.

I guess some people need a larger amount of puzzle pieces to finish the puzzle, especially when they admire/respect someone. To be honest thats fair I suppose.

Damn you guys I need to sleep stop being interesting.

I will err on the side of not judging someone wrongly in that type of capacity. I have heard enough people call me racist on this website to have seen the fallacy of jumping to conclusions.

I am not jumping to call someone a rapist, sex offender, murderer, racist, or etc. without a large preponderance of evidence or a conviction in which I felt was fairly achieved.

Thats totally fair. More puzzle pieces.

also I will never accept ff6name having a different username :(

Sorry, but the name my 14 year old self found cool isnt so cool anymore.

Also, FF6 is now my second favourite game of all time, and I didnt want to change my name to Persona5man because you only get one username change and what if I like something more than Persona 5 later in life? My face would certainly be red.

MikeTavish, does your view on this change if Trump had posted with these 3 videos "I know the majority of Muslims are great people, but I find these videos offensive to me"?

Serious question.

Absolutely. That would change the entire context of the videos from muslims suck to these muslims suck which is a huge distinction to be made.

But considering

A) Who he retweeted from
B) The past arguments of racism made against him (whether fair or not)
C) The content and titles of the videos
And D) The fact that hes never gone out of his way to point out bad things Christians (or any non-Muslims, really,) have done to Muslims.

Its hard for me to think hes got good intentions at heart.

I would be more concerned if all the retweets were from different sources immensely.

Why, what difference would that make?

Not trying to be combative, Im genuinely curious what that would change about the tweets.

Because here is how I can see this harmlessly happening. Someone sends a video to Trump or links a video to him. He clicks on it and watches it. I'll assume the first he retweeted. It offends him so he retweets it. Then backs to their main profile and sees other videos which he watches and retweets the ones he finds offensive.

If they were all from different sources, I would suspect he actually had to of SEARCHED for strings of Muslim videos which is extremely worse in my mind. Stumbling across some videos from a source all in one place versus searching out material is kind of a big difference.

This is actually a decent argument for Randy McRanderson tweeting to his 25 followers. Its absolutely not even close to one for the President of the United States with 44 million twitter followers. I would hope hed take the ten seconds to take a look around the profile he was about to retweet...

There is a lot of things in the history of the United States that I would hope the President would have thought not to do or taken 10 seconds to do.

But, yeah, he should not have retweeted those even if he was just offended by them and there was no underlying meaning or not.

At least we can agree on that. Anyhow, this has been fun, but its night shift bedtime, which means Im outta here. Dont hate on each other too much guys.

Im not trying to attack anyone who supports trump as president, I hope he does make things great for all you guys living down below me.

But things like those tweets make me question how anyone with morals can support him as a person.

I think a lot of what you hear is overblown greatly.

He didn't retweet a video of someone ranting about how all Muslims should die or that surmised that another race was an inferior set of human beings.

I mean, he clearly just retweeted things he found offensive in his opinion. All the videos could cause reasonable offense to a person.

Saying you cannot morally support him is a huge leap. You can justify not supporting him morally if you wish to. Sure. That doesn't mean that justification is entirely accurate though.

I feel like the fact that he looked at the twitter page of the leader of a hate group, watched videos on that page, and consciously decided yep these are videos everyone needs to see, Ill share them! is incredibly concerning.

Again, you can find those types of videos from any side of the playing field, why is he sharing any of those ones in particular if not to put across the message of Islam is bad? Can you say, after seeing those tweets, that Trump has nothing against muslims? Or at best, that hes not trying to appease his fans that dislike muslims?

If you can, youre great at fooling yourself. Because Im trying hard to see it some other way, and I cant fool myself into ignoring that much logic.

I think he finds things some Muslims have done offensive yes.

I could extrapolate from there more but have no solid evidence of more than that.

Welp congratulations, you have a skill.

Anti-immigration, anti-terrorism for the 2 I said.

The people in the videos are not singled out as terrorists, or as foreigners. They are singled out as Muslim.

He retweeted it. He can't change how the initial publisher labeled it. That said, the video that troubles me is the Virgin Mary one. As by correlation, it makes them all look anti-muslim is nature. The other 2 alone are crimes on platforms he campaigned against. The Virgin Mary one however... Yeah...

I dont use twitter often, but can you not add your own message to the retweet? Something like I may not agree with the published label, but this shows why immigration is bad etc etc? If so, I feel like that states he has no problem with the initial labels.
---

Formerly ff6man.

Even if he has the best of intentions (which I still cant figure out what those would be) in posting those videos, its still a very irresponsible thing for the president of the United States to be doing.

Like I said in the other topic, you can find videos of nearly any race or religion attacking and/or harassing any other race or religion. Why post just those ones if not to make the religion of Islam look bad?

Yeah I was going to say, nothing anywhere talks about them being foreign or terrorists. (Other than the title of one video saying migrant) Only that all the people doing these horrible things in the videos are Muslims. :-/

I mean this is pretty blatant. Its not like you cant easily search White man attacks Muslim and get a bunch of videos. Assholes exist in every race and every religion, anyone with a brain knows that.

I tried but I cant find any reason behind retweeting those videos other than to pander to his most racist fans... which makes me very sad.

I just finished the Codex Alera myself a couple weeks ago. Decided to read it since he was taking so long on the next Dresden book and I friggin LOVE that series sooo...

I thought it was fantastic but I definitely agree with the I cant believe no one important died. sentiment.

I wish Butcher would finish Peace Talks though. Its starting to feel like a Winds of Winter situation.

it's a little too early to tell. The Persona games and traditional SMT games have some similarities but differ wildly on their focus. If you're going into an SMT game thinking it's heavy on characters like the Persona games you might have a bad time.

Do you have a Wii U? Tokyo Mirage Sessions might be up your alley.

I see. Okay I'll just keep an eye on this. :)

So I don't really know anything about Persona/SMT other than the fact that they have some kind of relation to each other since some of the Persona games have SMT in their title.

First game of either series I played was P5, which I just finished and FUCKING LOVED.

So will I like SMT5? Should I be hyped for this?

Why not go back and play other games in both series and decide for yourself?

I don't really have time. It took me from release day until two days ago to finish Persona 5, for example. Just looking for a straight answer.

Jackbox 4 is pretty great. Jackbox packs have a bad tendency of having 1-2 clear weak links (Lie Swatter in 1, BombCorp/Earwax in 2, Fakin It in 3) but I don't think 4 really has any, except maybe Fibbage 3 (did we really need THREE Fibbages?)

Best games:
You Don't Know Jack
Quiplash 2
Bracketeering

My group of friends LOVES Fakin' it. I defy your statement!

Yeah it's pretty insane. I legitimately know 6 people that are waiting for Smash to be announced before they buy a Switch.

They should have released a deluxe edition of the Wii U Smash Bros asap after launch and then started working on an actual Smash 5 for a few years from now.
