No, she is. But idk why hes using that in a negative way

lots of assholes are attacking her for it

Source? I'm more inclined to believe you Tbqh, but still interested to read.

Imagine being one of the most powerful people in the world and having this little teenage girl on the spectrum threaten you. LOL

Source that she's on the spectrum? Not that it really matters either way, but I'm guessing you're pulling that out of your ass.

Postal is and always will be a series of bad games.

Also, although I do believe climate change is an issue, we need to stop giving so much attention to literal teenagers on political issues. Ignore them and let the smarter, wiser, more experienced, and more emotionally mature adults handle things.

Her generation is the one that's going to most heavily feel the effects of climate change. We should absolutely not ignore them.

I have my stoke in reservation.

The game looks like it could go either way right now. There's very good reason to be skeptical, but Blizzard is actually being open and communicative with fans and open to feedback, so that's a good sign.

Tax businesses for automation but keep it low enough to make it worthwhile to automate most jobs over actual people. UBI would mean people could focus on schooling for careers they actually have passion for rather than just searching for money. More teachers, more engineers, more scientists, etc etc. This will also let nonprofits and small businesses thrive, because they can afford to hire the staff they need while having a larger pool of people to hire from.

I'll have you know the books make great doorstops, I used the 2nd as one for a few years

Look, I have all of King's books, I'm set for doorstops :P

Does subtractive let me subtract Sword of Truth from the world? Because that's the best possible outcome.

I'm guessing this has been brought up already, but "put them against the wall" is a Swedish saying for making someone face consequences. She wasn't threatening anyone.

I have infinite respect for dispatchers, having actually looked into working as one and even shadowing one for a few hours. The job is legitimately stressful and they have so much patience.

you don't have a valid point, therefore nothing can prove it

DuranOfForcena posted...

why would anyone refute a point that is completely and entirely invalid? there is literally nothing to refute

DuranOfForcena posted...

in any case, i tire of this conversation now. it will just go in circles because you will never be able to perceive how arrogant and self-important you are, that's kind of the nature of being arrogant and self-important.

Goddamn bro, are you sure you aren't an alt of mine?

kingdrake2 posted...

too soon for universal income. when things become more automated sure.

Actually I think now would be a great time. Tax automation that replaces manual labor, but make it low enough that the replacement is a sure win. This will remove a lot of jobs but also remove their need, while making it easier for smaller shops who need those employees. We're far enough into automation that we should push for it and make it happen on our terms :)

Moar excitement!

We don't need a $15 an hour federal minimum Tbqh. Better plan is to slash the minimum and establish universal basic income.

It's straight up child abuse and illegal.

Imagine making a statement like that without seeing some of the highest-regarded movies

Imagine being so concerned with being harmlessly wrong that you avoid a statement because you haven't seen something.

I liked it better than Midsommar, but I enjoyed Us more.

but I also haven't seen The Lighthouse (or Crawl or Doctor Sleep)

I haven't seen those either, though I'd be surprised if either top it(but I wanna see doctor sleep still). I admittedly forgot US was this year, it's a close contender.

Haven't seen Midsommar or The Lighthouse yet so they aren't in consideration.

If your doctor isnt doing what you want, fire them. People forget that's an option.

A stupid option, but yes, an option.

Vol2tex posted...

The doctor I just went to didn't know the condition I have and had to Google it right there.

Using google correctly is also a skill.

TheMikh posted...

a lot of time can be spent reading peer-reviewed medical literature in that timeframe

It can, but then you aren't learning from experience. In general, personal experience is a bad teacher on its own, but great when mixed with actual education.

Firewerx posted...

Don't trust them blindly, either. Same as you wouldn't blindly trust the mechanic who's working on your car. Reserve the right to challenge and ask questions if you have doubts, and don't feel obliged to accept every answer at face value and seek no other opinion.

This. Seek another opinion if you have doubts, don't just assume you're right. If a doctor gives you a bad diagnosis that you know is bad and you do nothing to change things, that's on you.

Firewerx posted...

Living with a condition for 10+ years will give you plenty of experience in what works and what doesn't work in symptom management.

No, not really.

Funny People is his last movie I liked. People say it was too long. But I watched it 3 times and never felt that way. But that was what? 06?

Im not against giving him another shot. He seems like a good dude. Just not a consistent movie maker.

To be fair, there are two understandable reasons most Sandler movies suck:

He has a specific audience of fans he continues to cater to and entertain, and he wants to keep making movies with his friends so they can keep making money.

He's done several critically acclaimed performances though, and definitely has deserved award recognition at times.

Supporting immigration isn't racist if it's based on actual facts and figures, but it never is. Immigration helps every aspect of our country and should be supported. There is not a single viable argument for restricting immigration, because all the arguments involve falsehoods, cherrypicking, or missing key details.

Leana, did you play Carrion's demo? I've been following that game for a couple years now, and it looks so fun but I haven't heard report of how it plays yet.

Leanaunfurled posted...

Pretty much, yeah. It's an immersive sim. The one with the demo right now is a remake of the first game. System Shock 2 is still pretty playable, but the original...not so much. >_>

I'd argue they've both aged unfortunately poorly :( I haven't played the demo, but I hope it's good. SS2 was one of my favorite games of all time, especially when the devs saw people complaining about an annoying aspect(overly frequent gun jams) and actually patched in an option to determine the frequency.

Deadpool_18 posted...

Is Mario Rabbids actually good? The Rabbid franchise always seemed like a Minions knockoff to me.

The Rabbid franchise is a minions knockoff and awful. Mario and Rabbids is the outlier in that it's a fantastic, and actually somewhat challenging, strategy game.

Havent been much on RPGs with crazy amounts of stats lately.

Disgaea is probably the best stat crazy RPG out there because you can play it just fine without paying a ton of attention to stats, or you can min max like crazy and fuck shit up. There's so damn much to do in each game.

Have you played BOTW before? Because if not, I'd warn it doesn't really play like a typical Zelda game, and the game itself is kinda lacking in some ways. That said, what works in it fucking excels, so if it sounds interesting just go in with those expectations and you'll be happy :)

Switch is at its best if you like indie games, because nearly every major indie game has gotten a port or rerelease on it, and that's my main use for the platform. Lots and lots of awesome games to choose from, hope you enjoy it :)

The whole movie was about him finally stopping running and learning to be at peace with the Hulk. If anything, Avengers set him back to just hiding out in the third world somewhere no one can find him again. Any movie can be boiled down to "he goes places and does stuff". It's certainly not a great movie but the plot and character arc are pretty clear.

But he never does that. He's never at peace, never controlled. No development was shown. Really the only MCU movie that has shown any real character development for Banner and Hulk was Ragnarok, which is a shame because he's a fantastic character that deserves better.

Makeveli_lives posted...

Honestly I'm burnt out on samurai already. Nioh, Nioh 2, Sekiro, etc.

God I wish games would move on from it.

It was weird that it and Sekiro were basically announced at the same time. Still, it's a genre we've been sorely lacking in, so I'm glad to get three high quality games on it, especially when they all play very differently.

specialkid8 posted...

How is it aimless?

Because the movie is really just Banner wandering. There's the one plot thread of him trying to cure his condition which goes nowhere, and outside that there's no real growth, no character development, and is just him moving from setpiece to setpiece.

specialkid8 posted...

Incredible Hulk isn't even the worst one on that list.

It really, really is. Hulk is such a weirdly aimless movie, out of place in the MCU.

specialkid8 posted...

Literally Incredible Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Antman, Doctor Strange, Black Panther, and Captain Marvel are at or below Iron Man 2.

Only Hulk among those is at or below IM2.

GameGodOfAll posted...

Sam Rockwell was the best part of that movie and really needs to come back into the series. Would love him as a tech guy for the Thunderbolts.

Honestly, both villains have some of my favorite villain performances in the MCU, and that's saying something.

Not a bad movie, just way overstuffed. Would be good if they cut out a couple plots.

I mean, for the most part, everyone knows the dangers of drugs yet they want to do them anyways.

It's not quite that simple. Working with addicts, the most harrowing thing is when I hear them talk about how afraid they are that they're going to break down and go back to using. Addiction isn't a choice. Nor is it really as simple as "they knew the risks when they started", as plenty get addicted through legitimate means, or start using because of various issues. Few people just look and say "yeah meth sounds fun".

ideally we should all make a difference. not just those who can but everyone.

She is making a difference though. That's my point. Inspiring people is a huge thing.

her spreading awareness that we're fucked doesnt change the fact that we're fucked.

how about coming with actual solutions to... you know, unfuck us? whether its her, conservatives, liberals, scientists... heck everyone! time to wake the fuck up and stop fucking around!!

So just because you can't fix it yourself you shouldn't be pushing those who can to fix it?
