presenters have to wear black, speak in a neutral tone about the monarchy and i don't believe they can show comedies on live TV (albeit that might strictly be for the reigning Queen/King)

Sure, but do they not have any non-comedy shows they can air?

Is having two extra days of voting more potent to you than having diverse voting population?

When it comes to determining voting rights? Absolutely.

My point is that you need to address someone's most potent point before you say something is "incomparable." If someone makes an argument that stock A is a better investment than stock B, and their argument is Stock A has billion dollar more profit each year at a lower valuation and also that his 5 year old daughter likes stock As name better, you address the valuation. The daughter bit isn't even worth discussing.

Except your example is the opposite to Tim Scott's claims. Arguing that one state has better voting rights than another has nothing to do with how diverse the state is.

It happens the same number of times, but the reader only reads the last loop. All the previous ones weren't writing down. Although one of the later novels hints that something else that was strange happened during the time loop, so maybe we'll read another loop at some point in the future.

Sarah Severson, a librarian at the University of Alberta and a member of the board for Wikimedia Foundation, said that the lack of diversity trickles to the content on the site, because its volunteer-based, so editors will work on pages that they are interested in. You see really long articles on Dungeons and Dragons characters, and you see an independent female artist having a small article,

I'm sure the lack of diversity does actually distort what people make articles about, but that's a laughable ridiculous comparison. Dungeons and Dragons is a a huge franchise, with dozens if not hundreds of books which have reach the New York Times bestsellers. Of course those books characters are going to have larger articles than independent female artists. Pick a more similar comparison like an independent RPG, or writer.

She said what she did to the whole world.

What are you basing that on? The article said she sent the message to her friends not to the world.

This is extracurricular she don't want to be there.

Oh? How to you know that? Are you a mind reader?

I complain about the system all the time.

In other words, her comments were perfectly reasonable.

But come on if you say fuck your job and your boss hears about. You might be losing that job .

I'm a grown adult working a job, she's a young teenager doing cheerleading, they aren't the same circumstances and expecting the punishment to be the same is ridiculous. Also I'm pretty sure my union would have something to say if my boss try to fire me due to a private message I send to friends outside of work time.

Lol looking at her past type storyline. I feel like there's a weird bizarre gap between having dvd collections of I love Lucy/Bewitched and Malcolm in the Middle. They're not even found in the same aisle. And are they implying this took place in the 2000s, not 80s soviet union or?

The MCU seems to use a floating timeline just like the comics. One of the Spider-Man movies seems to imply all the events of the MCU (except Captain America and Marvel) happened in only 2 or 3 years instead of like 12 years.

Edit: I think they are supposed to be in some Balkan country that got stuck in an eternal civil war.

I can't remember if I heard it somewhere else before but were wanda and quicksilver's parents their adopted parents? Did Disney leave room for their birth father to maybe be magneto? Or they just went with a version where they're not related period?

I don't think they said adopted parents. Given that the comics retconned them being Magneto's kids I wouldn't expect them to reveal Magneto is their father. Although it wouldn't surprise me if they retconned both the movies and comics to reveal Magneto is their father.

Oh thats interesting. I kinda wonder why/how something like that would happen, whether it was a mistake or some twisted logic.

For Haruhi the first season had a single story line with an intro, build up and pretty big climactic ending. Which took up half the season. In chronological order this would be the first 6 episodes, so half the season. The rest of the season is a bunch of smaller stories, usually single episodes. It'd be pretty weird watching it in chronological order given the change from the first half of the season to the second. So they aired the second half in-between (and before) the first half.

Chronological order. Broadcast order made sense for the first airing back before your had the Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya to end the series on, but not we have disappearance to end it on. even the 2009 airing of the series used chronological order, as it's so much better. I'd skip most of the Endless Eight episodes though, personally I'd only watch the first and last of that arc, but I can understand why people watch them all.

My issue with FF7 is the contrast between the hand drawn backgrounds and the lego people. In lego games the people look like lego people, but so does the rest of the world, so it fits. On the other hand in FF7 the people look like lego people, but the worlds looks pretty good, it makes the people look worse.

Yes, Krypton has a red sun so they didn't have super powers. With yellow suns he gets he's famous super powers, with orange suns they are weakened but not gone, and with blue suns he gets better powers. I don't know what current continuity has him getting on a blue star, but back in the 2000's (I think) he get "superman" vision which gave people he hit with it his yellow star powers.

It's worth noting originally Krypton had higher gravity which was why he had his powers, but this was back when he couldn't fly or had supervision, and his durability/strength/speed/stamina wasn't as high,

Yeah, I've tried about half a dozen times with various grouos and it's always such a slog. Combat takes forever. DM has their special little story in mind and takes deviations as a personal insult. The party always just meets like a bunch of Grindr hookups in a tavern, without anyone caring or putting effort into why these specific people would be in this actual tavern and why they'd give a shit about the particular dragon or whatever.

Everyone wants to metagame and rules lawyer instead of just pretending to be a damn tree or whatever. No one ever does anything in-character or does voices, just normal "Yeah, so Vanai rolls to attack. And, uh, hey, John, does your warrior Ethriot have any moves that could help me next turn?"

It is more boring than a mad minute math drill.

Try playing an RPG based less around combat and more around role playing. Like Traveler or Call of Cuthulu.

His claws shouldn't fit into his wrists, they should tear out through the back of his hand if he tried to cut stuff with them, and he definitely shouldn't be able to regenerate the adamantium that coats them.

He can't regenerate the adamantium that coats his skin. The beauty of adamantium is that it's indestructible, and therefore he never needs to regenerate it.
