You cant be fuckin serious.

Nope, I'm totally serious. Are you going to give any suggestions on how I should dispose of this hypothetical gun or not?

onedarksoul posted...

Use your imagination.

Hwo's about you use your imagination for me. You are the one suggesting I get rid of the gun. Let's hear your suggestion.

I keep waiting for the portrait, music and unit packs to go on more than 50% off, but it never happens lol

I doubt they ever will. At one point DLC would go on sale for 75% quite often, but these days 50% seems to be the most. If CK3 does get announced, I imagine they might get bigger sales, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Balefire spoilers.

Rahvin gets killed by a pretty pissed off Rand, I figured that would have disastrous effects, or maybe they don't mention it until next book. ALSO, it's a bit confusing, I understand they get killed to the point that they don't exist in other people's heads (that was shown by the darkhound biting Mat but not really biting him due to the balefire erasing that history and some people aren't sure about a darkhound attacking), shouldn't Nynaeve have been wondering why she was there in the dream world with Rand, shouldn't people have forgotten about Rahvin at that point? Shouldn't some of the damage he have done been reversed, or maybe he just completely ceases to exist [unlikely since he's thousands of years old], but still, see where I'm going with this?)

I guess I wish they made sense about strong balefire is exactly, it often just gets cited as a bar of light and sizzles with motes of light fading. But I don't know exactly how strong that is, and how damaging it is to unravel days, months, years? of existence.

Balefire doesn't completely remove what it hits from ever existing inheriently. Basically only a certain amount of their existance is undone, how much is determined by the amount of power used. So you may only undo the last five minutes, or the last five hours, or even the last five years, it just depends on the amount of power used. It always goes back directly in time, so if you erase five hours of existance, it removes the last five hours, rather than some random five hours.

hardliners won't risk a ref

I wasn't talking about them. I said non-hardliners, are they going to prefer this deal over a referendum?

lesidesi posted...

alot of hardliners will now be thinking its either this deal or a referendum which is not appealing

Sure, but it needs more than just the support of the hardliners. Are the non-hardliners going to prefer this deal over a referendum? Given that we haven't seen the deal, we can't really say.

Will Parliament support it?

Why does wikipedia only mention a paranormal consultant and pseudoscience?

It doesn't, it also gives possible scientific explanations, you in fact quoted them.

Wheel of time is a great series, but it definitely slows down a bunch in the middle. The problem I'd say is that it feels like you are going nowhere and stuff is happening for no reason. Ultimately pretty much all of it is important, but it doesn't really feel that way while you are reading it.

ROBANN_88 posted...

i've been thinking about starting to read his stuff.
is that standalone or part of a series?

Warbreaker is standalone. It's part of the greater cosmere series, but the way the cosmere is written is that if you don't know it's a thing, you won't realise it's a thing by reading any single book.

Also Warbreaker can be downloaded for free legally on Sanderson's own website, here's a link:

https://brandonsanderson.com/books/warbreaker/warbreaker/warbreaker-rights-and-downloads/

The links to download is at the bottom, the final version is 6.1

You also have other options. Like getting rid of the gun.

Getting rid of the gun how?

LordRazziel posted...

The Mandela Effect is pseudoscience.

Let's see your source for that please.

It's a subsection of false memories.

Correct, specifically it's the false memories multiple people share, for seemingly no reason.

False memories and the Mandela Effect are not interchangeable.

You are correct, false memories can refer to false memories that one person has or that many people have, while the madela effect only refers to the latter.

LordRazziel posted...

Read the next paragraph.
That's all under the Mandela Effect, which is under false memory. It's psuedoscience started by a paranormal consultant.

I read the entire section and no where does it claim that the Mandela effect is the alternate realities explanation. It in fact very clearly states that the Mandela effect refers to shared false memory phenomenon.

I'd try my best not to laugh about it, but I'd likely fail.

onedarksoul posted...

It doesn't make sense how afraid you are of that, to the point you'd gladly turn in family as a normal matter of course.

If you'd be willing to go to prison, and ruin your life because one of your familly members gave you an illegally good, that's your life buddy. I don't see why you think it doesn't make sense that other people won't be willing to do the same thing.

onedarksoul posted...

Is your relationship with her good or bad?

If she gave me a gun it be pretty fucking bad.

onedarksoul posted...

Hes basically saying he'd give his mom jail time for daring to get him a gun.

Oh, please. It's the courts that would be given her jail time, and if she didn't want it, she shouldn't of given out such an illegal product.

WTF is a Pizza pie? Anyway I can usually eat a medium Pizza fine. Although if you are in the US I suspect your medium pizzas are larger than ours.

So is your local water department

Nope, my local water department is a privately owned for profit company.

I haven't watched any movie in theaters in years.

onedarksoul posted...

Serious? JE19426

Yes, I am. Guns are very illegal where I live, and I could get in loads of trouble if caught with one.

I'd phone the police, and report her.

pls posted...

I don't think you understand what a non sequitur is.

I asked you a question, and you quoted my question, and then gave a statement that doesn't answer my question. That's a non sequitur.

pls posted...

The point is that illegal aliens don't wait, thereby cutting people in line and making the system more complex for everyone else.

How does cutting in line make the system more complex for everyone else?

They also take the opportunities and benefits that should be reserved for citizens.

Why would people who's family's have only just moved to the US care anymore about this, than people who's family have live in the area of the US since before the US was founded?

pls posted...

Deport them ASAP. They're not looked well upon by legal immigrants.

What a strange non-sequilar.

pls posted...

Because we still have family waiting to come, but these other people sneak in and ruin the process for everyone.

How does it ruin the process for everyone?

They take advantage of the system.

And how does that changes based on whether your family just arrived in the US ,or they have lived in the US before it was the US?

pls posted...

Because our family members came here correctly and we are still waiting for other family members to come here correctly.

How does that effect your opinion of immigrants that didn't do that?

Cutting the line by cheating and lying and stealing is wrong and unfair.

Why is that changed based on how your own family got here?

BilalPowell posted...

You'd think legal immigrants would be the ones fighting the hardest to deport illegal immigrants.

Why?

BlingBling22947 posted...

At least they arent using guns as much, right?

Agreed, most of those people would be dead, had they been shot, instead of stabbed.

TheBiggerWiggle posted...

Hes not wrong.

That's pretty funny coming from a person that admits to not playing the game.

MelzezDoor posted...

DQ11 felt toned down a bit that much is true but I was talking about the nature of rpgs in general. Making dq11 less grindy doesn't change the fact they still are.

What JRPGs are you playing that are grindy, outside of hard modes and the like?

It's definitely on Netfilx UK. It's kinda annoying since about a month ago I rewatched the series, and the first place I checked was Netflix.

Overall the show is great, as others have said it is a kid's show, but it's a kid's show that still great as an adult. The begining is the worst part, the first 10, or so episodes are kinda eh, whatever, but it builds up from then until the third season. The third season is still pretty good but not quite as good as season 2.

I'm not that big a fan of Korra, it isn't the worse, but I wouldn't rate it particularly highly.

Firewatch, it took me ages to remember the name, also I've never played.

While they are technically of the human race, they have chosen to give up their place in society and forfeit all their rights including their basic human rights.

Nobody can give up their basic human rights. That's what makes them basic human rights. You have them whether you want them or not.

I reread the Harry Potter books a few years ago. Then I reread them again, basically straight away.

MacDaMurderer posted...

its funny because some games actually avoid this by adding the Microtrans after the fact.

I don't see why they wouldn't need to reliable them. After San Andreas was found to have sexual content Rockstar had to relabel all copies of it.

So, tell me why is China the bad guy again?

It's simply, anti-mask lawsare bad.

many places combine scifi and fantasy as one section

Sure, but they usually title that section "Sci-Fi and Fantasy", or "Speculative Fiction", not science fiction.

What dragons?

Which Batgirl? Also are any of the men armed? If so with what?

Assuming unarmed, Cassandra Cain would win no problem, but I feel the others would have more trouble. Betty Kane, would likely lose. Barbara Gordon, and Helena Bertinelli, I feel come down to whether they can get out of range quickly enough to fight them from a distance. Stephanie Brown might also be able to win a similar way, but I feel she's more likely to lose.

It was wrong of the company to publicaly shame her, but it was fair for them to refuse to hire her due to her social media present.

Ruvan22 posted...

Maybe I missed it, but what exactly was the position she was applying for?

Professional marketer.

MrMallard posted...

No, even the origin of the name points to how stupid the "phenomenon" is.

A whole room of people were convinced that Nelson Mandela died in captivity instead of becoming the leader of South Africa. Despite the fact that he was a notable public figure well into the 2000's, appearing on the news and acting on behalf of his nation for decades.

A room full of ignorant people became convinced that they had lived in a world where Nelson Mandela actually died before achieving the pinnacle of his success, and instead of acknowledging it as a giant blind spot, they spun it off into this fantasy of having lived in an alternate dimension where they witnessed their version of reality.

Everything about that story is fucking stupid.

I'm not sure what your post has to do with mine, so I'm going to assume you quoted the wrong post.

You are confusing the mandela effect with one of the, most absurd, "explanations" for it.

BillyKidd posted...

doesn't change fact that the lithium, cobalt, and nickel strip mines use to make electric cars are damaging the environment

So enforce safe mining practices.

Paragon21XX posted...

That article says jackshit about the massive ecological impacts of mining, only carbon emissions.

Probably because their are none. Sure if you mine insanely you can cause damage, but that's true of any industry, plus you gotta mine to make non-eletric cars.

CanuckCowboy posted...

Except an electric car has to be on the road about a decade before it makes up for the fact its much more harmful to the environment to produce.

No it doesn't, it only takes 18 month.

Because Dragon isn't viewed as a pirate?

Yep.

s0nicfan posted...

Then they should pick a new leader and use them instead.

They've already voted him to be leader twice, furthermore leadership elections typically take several months, so they don't really have time to do one.

Dragon is supposed to be the most wanted person in the world, so it's probably higher than Kaido and also Whitebeard but lower than Roger.

He could have a higher bounty than Roger.
