England was my team so i don't really care as much now, but i kind of want to see Croatia win over France just because they are the underdog... and then at least England would have been knocked out by the champs, which is a slightly more respectable way to have lost

Yes - men are (or were....) generally mentally tougher too.
Some women can certainly hold their own though.

um, why do you have both rap and hiphop on the list as separate things? rap is an element of hiphop which is a culture (rapping, turntablism, graffiti artistry, and breakdancing).

Anyway, i probably gotta go with Classic Rock specifically, but i like everything mentioned on that list

PS2 -> Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits (Arc the Lad 1-3 are worth playing too)
PS2 -> Dragon Quest VIII (not sure which Dragon Quest you meant, so just in case i included this one, if it is this one, then DQVII is great too)
PSX -> Chrono Cross
PSX -> Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete & Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete
SNES -> Chrono Trigger
SNES ->Tales of Phantasia
SNES -> Seiken Densetsu 3

I thought they were excellent. I was really impressed from start to finish with both Tomb Raider 2013 and the sequel, Rise of the Tomb Raider. The story was great, the scenery is beautiful (and there's a decent amount of freedom to explore or take multiple routes), the gameplay was smooth and mostly on point most of the time (there were a couple times i had minor frustrations but nothing serious), the characters were cool and the "acting" was great (Laura is perfect), the challenges were fun and mostly well integrated, the weapons and upgrades system was easy to use and there are lots of cool things to attain... really i can't say a whole lot that was bad about it. Im sure im forgetting a few things that i might have felt at the time, but they were insignificant enough overall that they really didn't dampen to the experience outside of those moments.
Definitely looking forward to the new one that comes out in September.

Oh you mean like everyone else

... that statement is an assumption based in absolutism.
No, not "everyone" bases their perspectives on observations.

Liberals dont really actually give a s*** about immigrants. It's all about finding a way to s*** on Republicans and finding every excuse for what the dems did when they were in power

The fact that you're more eager to laugh at what you believe to be hypocrisy than to condemn kidnapping immigrant children says a lot about you as a person.

I dont think you understand the definition of kidnapping

The fact that you're more eager to nitpick over the definition of kidnapping than to condemn removing children from their families and detaining them in what can only be described as internment camps as a matter of policy says a lot about you as a person.

No, it's really not telling or saying anything about him as a person because you didn't ask, you assumed. You ignored what he has to say and you interjected with an attack that had nothing to do with the content of what he said because you aren't willing to engage in an actual dialogue (kind of like that other guy did to me)... so i'd actually say from an outside perspective that it says way more about you than it does about him.

Do you really not realize your hypocrisy here?

Im well aware that it borders the line of it, yes, however my perspective was a comparative one that was based on a set of observations rather than assumptions.

In other contexts, he's explicitly said things like "it's funny that libs only care about this now that Trump's doing it." I'm operating on more than just what he's said in this topic; his general approach to the matter has been to focus on that apparent hypocrisy and dismiss the actual wrong taking place on that basis.

Well, i still think your method was unproductive but that's at least a reasonable and respectable response

What do the people who hate Trump's stances on immigration think about this?

I think it is telling that you apparently believe this video is a revelation.

Google "catch and release" read all the stories from Fox and the federalist from 2010-2015, then come back and we may be able to have a conversation.

Interesting response...
i especially like the part where you tell me what i apparently believe and in what style i believe it, as well as the part where you completely avoid the question and make demands to be met before having conversation, as if im unaware of the subject, and should feel that it's relevant why i asked the question

Also, Tucker Carlson owns these days. I can't speak for him in the past but he's been on fire recently

Tuck the Cuck's victim complex is on fire, for sure.

You'll have to explain that to me cause i don't see how he fits into the definition of a cuck or as having victim complex

Just as one example, he whines about "the elite" or whatever despite being rich himself and Republicans controlling all three branches of the federal government.

Tucker is certainly a very comfortably wealthy man, but his networth is listed from 8-39 million, which is peanuts compared to the people he's generally referring to. And i don't see how his political opinions should be less valid because he's wealthy anyway. Are you suggesting that the more money you have the less you should dislike, or care about, how society is run or how people are wanting it to be run?
And even though Republicans may have power, they still face a barrage of attacks and obstacles that are constantly put in their way by the democrats (and it would be the same in reverse if the democrats had power - that's politics). Republicans may share a general set of values but there is plenty of disagreement when it comes to the finer details. Again, following your logic there, that would mean that if you were a wealthy democrat that your opinion about Obama's policies (while he was still the president) shouldn't be of concern to you... as if everything he did should be agreeable because of the group association. That's kind of irrational though isn't it?

Lol at how many of his fans supported family separation at the border...I wonder if they will inmediatelly change their mind just becauae Trump did....

...except Trump didn't change his mind, and im not really confident that the group of his "fans" that supported separation are really "fans" if they didn't know he didn't like it either.

To be fair "Fox" is "big news" it just so happens that they are one of the few (if not the only) big news that is more conservative. The rest of the mainstream media is heavily left leaning and they don't even hide it anymore. On the other hand, he's not wrong to suggest that the mainstream liberal propaganda pretty much is telling you the opposite of reality though. I wouldn't have believed it 2 years ago but there are just too many examples to point to these days that you can almost bet on it now.

As much as i don't blame her for trying cause i hate exams too, the point of the final exam is to serve the purpose of reviewing the complete courses worth of lessons and seeing if you have actually understood anything enough to have also retained it.

Not consciously no, but they have physical and emotional sensations and your biology is building all the associations of the world from birth onward (actually before as well, but obviously in a limited fashion. There's plenty to read on the topic in psychology, neuroscience, sexual development. etc etc
It's not an explanation for all people, nor is every person who has such an experience going to necessarily have the same outcome, but it is an established interest of research.

You completely missed the point.

ok, well you completely failed at communicating how i've missed the point so your point that i've missed the point is pointless.

Traumatic birth experience? The baby would have no way of understanding or even ability to remember such a thing.

Your poll is missing the option: "Early childhood trauma"
For boys, from traumatic birth experiences to traumatic experiences (usually with women) possibly up to the ages of 5 or 6.

I'd say it's "all of the above" though, so any of the three individual options.

Wait Im confused

You think boys become gay due to trauma but not girls?

No, i wasn't suggesting that exactly. It's just the kind of "trauma" that are more likely to be related to a boy developing into a gay man are more well known. What traumatizes a boy and could be responsible for the change wouldn't necessarily mean that the same kind of trauma would change the girls sexual orientation, because of the ways that males and females are naturally wired up differently in their associations to sex, what it means, how we approach it differently, how we just interpret events in the world differently too, how we interact with each other, etc etc.
So for example: a traumatic birth experience for a boy may imprint an association of "fear" (meaning a negative association, not necessarily being processed as literal fear response) with women, whereas in the same scenario, except switch it to a girl now, that trauma is not necessarily associated in a sexual way at all (but perhaps in social way or some other expression of sub conscious construction in personality). If however lets say a male doctor delivering her did something that caused significant trauma to be associated with him, then that may be a significant factor, but it's less clear as to how likely it is to be associated in their sexual "memory" if at all - there's less information about Lesbians to work with (as i understand it anyway). The boy in that scenario may show no signs of anything until puberty when the dormant biological machinery starts switching on but hasn't "forgotten" the impact of that trauma.

Chrono Trigger is the best RPG on any system, so that gets my vote

My thoughts exactly!

Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals was excellent too. That would be my second choice from that list.

Worse was happening during the same time and nobody did anything about either. Only the Nazi's were attacked meanwhile the Jews were already being killed in pogroms all over, the Holodomor resulted in the deaths of 10 million ethnic Ukrainians, and Communism in general was killing people all over the place. I know it sounds kind of wrong but if it weren't the Nazi's Communism would have spread a lot further across Europe. They thought the spread of Communism was a Jewish conspiracy though, and whether it was or wasn't, there were a lot of Jews involved in the spread of it and a good chunk of the major players spreading Communism were Jewish too. When you look at Israel today though, they maintain a Jewish supremacist ethnostate exactly as the Nazi's envisioned for themselves, but for some reason that's ok.
