Yep - it's "just" the Jan 6th mindset exported to the north. Sorry Canada.

The greatest trick Canada ever played was convincing everyone they weren't always like this.

Their high profile political hottakes are even worse than here, but it's more easily filterable, so as long as you stay off r/all and curate your subs it's a nice experience.

Lol.

Glad you don't disagree about the PC games though. That's the important part of the post.

If they're so cool, why do they watch all of our television shows and movies while most Americans never bother watching any of theirs?

If we're counting Brits, Americans love to Americanize their shows.

N64 was the best Nintendo console, but PC exclusives have been better than consoles since 1995.

They're not. You must not watch a lot of comedy.

Unjust, it should be a civil matter between him and Nintendo not a criminal charge.

Sounds like you are into him. That's ok, own it.

That's just a terrible picture of him. He honestly looks fine for a 58 year old man: https://i0.wp.com/mitrobe.com/wp-content/uploads/Jet-Li-Biography-net-worth-age-facts-family.jpg?w=678&ssl=1

he's just aging naturally instead of pulling a tom cruise and getting work done on his face every 2 years.

Clearly these dogs were very aggressive

Right, they were pitbulls

I'm just relieved it's the Canadians getting attention for doing something stupid and not us for once.

Full Throttle posted...

Do you think owning pitbulls should be banned?

Well not owning, we shouldn't be taking people's dogs away, but breeding/importing them should be banned and aggressively enforced.

Disgusting, next thing you know women in real life will be wearing pants!

yeah the only unfortunate thing about that is the myth of brutus fighting for muh freedom and democracy, and for the good of everyone when in fact he was a massive elitist who hated the poor, and wanted them to have no say in govenment.

He literally obfuscates every point he makes with obscure, unrelated jargon so what he's saying sounds intelligent even though it's largely gibberish.

Tom Holland, but he plays it exactly as awkward as he plays Spiderman.

jesus christ lmao

what is wrong with this board

It's a microcosm for the Internet in general. Everyone's always angry and argues exclusively in bad faith.

The wording on that bill is obnoxiously vague. Discomfort is subjective. It's essentially making it so you can't talk about race at all because someone somewhere will always feel discomfort.

i think you're confusing it with ff9 which had just s*** mechanics on an extremely slow system. ff8;s were fine

lol FF8's mechanics were waaay worse than FF9. I was utterly broken and you could just stroll through the entire game with no effort if you understood it.

wait, people are out here getting their shoulders involved? Benching is mainly pectoral with some resdiual bicep and tricep workings. I can't even recall a time I have ever felt my shoulders tighten or anything during a bench.

Shoulder pain and shoulder injuries are very common with bench press. You also can't do a bench press without engaging your shoulders, it's just they're not the primary mover. They're still important though and delts are actually a bottleneck for a lot of people on bench.

It's one of those exercises that's good if you know what you're doing, but almost no one knows what they're doing so they end up just destroying their shoulders.

I barely remember the combat mechanics of FFVII except that they were shit

I think you're confusing it with FF8 which had hilariously broken and stupid mechanics. FF7's were ok.

Straughan posted...

Guys, the fact that anyone knows what he means and that there is terminology for it s***s all over your feign of incredulity.

Not really feigned. I honestly don't understand why you would specialize in a single element in FF7. From a gameplay perspective it makes very little sense. And we know the terminology because it's common gaming terminology that exists in tons of other games, so chill.

Why would I do that? The versatility of the materia system means I don't have to main any 1 element.

End of an era. Best Science Fiction show to grace our undeserving eyes in a decade.

2 decades. The only other one in contention is BSG2004 and The Expanse beats it.

They waited just long enough for no one to use coins anymore.

It's on the CW which means it's going to be one of the worst shows on TV.

The price of not minding your own business keeps getting higher and higher.

I think it was the price of brutally murdering someone actually.

Every race, gender and sexual identity should be assigned values in a random number generator weighted to their prevalence in the population, devs of every game should then run this when creating their characters and then we can have a fair distribution and people can stop talking about this.

Sure we'll get some weird stuff like trans black muslim KKK grand wizards in RDR3, but that's the price of fairness.

Season 1

There's already been a ton in my lifetime, so yeah I'm sure that trend will continue.

Pro tip: attack.

You can turtle until you have an overwhelming force in the singleplayer campaign if you want. Attack attack attack is only the order of the day for battle.net

Zeus posted...

Could the Enterprise beam a bomb onto a ISD? I'm not sure ISDs have the same safeguards as space fleet ships.

I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt and assuming this trick wouldn't work because ISDs have energy shielding. Obviously if transporters can beam through Star Wars shielding this is an even more lopsided fight.

This, damn trekkies just want to come up with some bs to feel like it's equal

It's like superman fans that think he could beat Batman

ITP: Tech difference doesn't matter.

Alexander the Great would defeat a UN peacekeeping force in battle despite them having machine guns, helicopters and armored vehicles. I love Star Wars, but they're just outclassed here. And Starfleet can get really nasty in battle too. See: Dominion War.

Good luck taking out 5900 tie fighters with only two "lasers" using computer targeting.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCYirVh6ZWY

and keep in mind TIEs literally can't catch the Enterprise if it doesn't want to be caught, so it could be 10 trillion and the result would be the same.

captpackrat posted...

In every single episode Picard always lets the bad guys get the first shot before ordering return fire. If Thrawn planned his attack carefully, he could devastate the Enterprise with the first volley.

Fair, if this is the first time the Federation has ever met the Empire and they aren't in a state of war they might win simply because TV show Picard isn't guarded enough.

Though you should remember that the distances and speeds we see ship-to-ship combat in Star Trek are a conceit of film making for entertainment. In canon they're typically supposed to be 10s to 100s of thousands of kilometers apart when engaging as can be seen here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guo1ivcosVo where we they spell out the actual range/speed capabilities of starships in combat. This is orders of magnitude outside Star Wars engagement range. Thrawn would have to get practically nose to nose with the Enterprise without Picard being suspicious. A tall order when you consider Data would tell him that the ISD is covered in an obscene amount of extremely high yield weapons.

ranagrande posted...

Ordinarily, this is a fairly easy match for the Enterprise.

Thrawn finds a way to win though.

Thrawn would be an X-factor in fleet scale operations during wartime where he can strategically make use of hyperspace being substantially faster than warp and Star Destroyers being able to quickly devastate planets from orbit.

In a straight solo fight between an ISD and the Enterprise though? It'd be over before he realized he was in a fight.

Lokarin posted...

I may have googled the stats for the super star destroyer :v

Oh yeah an SSD is insanely huge. It still wouldn't be able to hit the Enterprise D, mind you, but it's absurdly large.

Lokarin posted...

Also, I don't think the Star Destroyer would be helped by TIE Fighters... they're great fighters, yes; but the Starfleet phaser array combined with the lack of shielding on TIEs means the Enterprise would be able to lock-on and yeet the entire fleet in one shot

You're forgetting the most important part. The D has computer targeting and TIE fighters are practically standing still even when at full speed. Not 1 TIE fighter will get within 10,000km of the D.

Oh Also the D is several order of magnitudes faster at sublight.

Action53 posted...

TIE fighters would peck the Enterprise to death like birds

See above. They'd never be able to catch it and would be sniped before their pilots could even get into visual range. 24th century computer targeted point defense designed to hit targets moving at relativistic speed with a max effective range equal to about the distance from the Earth to the Moon vs guys manually flying by sight like it's WW2.

Lokarin posted...

The star destroyer would win... it's a matter of scale, a Star Destroyer is the size of a Borg Cube

Not even close. A Borg Cube is 3 cubic kilometers. an ISD is 1.6km long 500m wide at its absolute widest and not really tall except for the bridge tower. An ISD is much closer to the size of the Enterprise than it is to a cube.

Enterprise D because even if an ISD has more power output in its turbo lasers, they still manually aim and will never hit a ship travelling at hundreds of kilometers per second and engaging them at 100,000 kilometers distance. Star Wars ships canonically travel at hundreds of KPH out of hyperspace. They're roughly as fast as modern fighter jets and everything is manually controlled. This is pathetically slow and unresponsive compared to Federation Starships. This is no competition.

This is the third time I've seen this story posted somewhere and I still don't understand why anyone cares.

By and large, don't expect Linux to work for you out of the box. Using Linux generally entails putting effort into convincing it to work for you.

This is no longer true for all distros. Ubuntu honestly works as well as Windows out of the box for pretty much everything except gaming.

Saw it, it's pretty entertaining, but does go full cornball towards the end.

That's funny, I thought Hawkeye was bad and Loki ruined the entire MCU.

No, it's much harder to get stuck in the washing machine than the porn makes it seem.

You need to prepare yourself for the red wave that's coming. I don't like it either, but you're delusional if you think the Dems are positioned well for the coming election.

It wasn't bad, but it was very forgettable which for a marvel movie of the 2010s means it was below average.
