The 360 controller was the best shaped controller, imo, but the joystick placement ruined it.

I, like most people, have my thumbs in the same place on both hands.

DS4 is by far the best playstation controller, but ruined by crap battery life.

Also, re Yorkshire puddings, there are two distinct types:

The one that you have as part of a toad in the hole (Giant Yorkshire with sausages inside and usually ACTUAL gravy on top) which is a bit more bready than the other kind.

The one you have with a roast/carvery. Can be big or small.

in the US, cilantro refers to the leaves/stems and coriander refers to the seed.

but yeah culantro is just the spanish word for coriander sooo

Yeah, that's what I was getting at. Saying "it's what the Spanish call it" as the reason isn't really going to fly here.

Cilantro is because America uses the Spanish word for the herb, coriander, due to us bordering Mexico. I live in Arizona, all the Mexicans here call it cilantro

Don't you lot only refer to one part of the plant as "cilantro" though, when in fact the Spanish word is for the entire thing?

So when are you allowed to employ your freedom of speech when discussing ideas that society has deemed offensive?

Whenever you like. The government won't arrest you.

The business that employs you though is free to fire you too.

It's a simple system and I'm not sure why you're so easily confused by it?

People always make me wonder how many people can actually read minds and assume everyone else can. Are they accidentally admitting they have the power of mind reading when they talk about thought crime?

Unless of course they're just getting confused between thoughts and expression (the thing people actually get sacked for).

So much muddying of the water in these topics from certain types.

No. Comments made in private should be off limits from repercussions. I don't feel like we should be attempting to legislate and regulate private thought. There's no law that says people HAVE to like everybody.

Obviously things like recorded thoughts will result in a backlash (see: Hulk Hogan/Bubba The Love Sponge situation) and while the backlash may be justified it was still his private thoughts, even though they were recorded and later released to the public.

You appear to be confusing the law with a business choosing to fire people they don't believe represent the company in a good light.

They are two completely separate things.

My personal opinions are irrelevant. If it's a violation, which it is, then it's modded. It's pretty clear when a user has a pattern of behavior that warrants a suspension so if it fits the criteria then they'll be suspended. I don't care if a post is alt right, alt left, centrist, or otherwise. If it's a violation it's a violation. If it's severe enough then they'll get the appropriate punishment. It's not my place to decide or care if the user is banned. If you think users deserve to be instantly banned for being holocaust deniers then you're whining to the wrong person.

Wtf is "alt left"?

Oh i'm a huge NHL player and HUT is the biggest shameless money grab, same with Madden and FIFA ultimate team modes. I get it for sure, they just never did this with the Skate series, and unless the gameplay is changing, I don't really see where they could.

That might be because UT has only been a thing (at least in FIFA's case) since about 2010.

The last Skate game came out in 2010.

Edit: March 2009 was when FUT first appeared.

That doesn't hold all that well with practical examples. That's true with older games, but you'd never need to delete the zips for old games because they're so small.

With new titles, the disc isn't even the whole game. Once support goes down, you're left with an incomplete game.

It's also more of a thing with modern (previous gen) gaming consoles than PCs.

The easiest way to define a human right would be something you innately possess that can only be taken away from you rather than something that can be granted to you. You have the right to live, but an opposing tribesman can take it away from you. So we join up in the common hope of lowering the chances that right is taken from us. Then within the tribe, services are provided to each other to lengthen that chance. Probably lacking some nuance on the discussion, but that's the most basic.

I see what you mean with this, but I'm thinking more along the lines of being denied access. So it fits with your definition in that way.
