Which came first? The job title bouncer or bouncing patrons out of your establishment?

'Bouncing' came first. Bouncers are the guys who do the bouncing.

Bouncing as a slang term came from the 1800s or thereabouts and is probably only still around because of bouncers.

Fair, Trump still picked them to defend him.

I'd say he's getting exactly what he paid for.

Star Ocean (unless you play IV) is the biggest tease for a sci-fi rpg. I thought when 3 came out it'd be a real sci-fi adventure. The twist didn't even bother me. I guess there's still Mass Effect.

Well at least for 3 you actually spend a huge chunk of time not on a backwater planet.

Well there's also Liberty or Death, the actual game between the colonists and the redcoats.

To lessen controversy, I would say maybe restrict the roster to only presidents who have died. So nobody too recent.

Well that would make it a no buy. Because trump would be the obvious Dan Hibiki.

Dan is the pathetic, weak joke character, right?

Dan isn't really a joke character anymore. His 'joke' was being a riff on Art of Fighting, but he's very usable.

I only really liked the first two seasons. Season 3 kind of lost me (Daolon Wong was not that great of a villain) and I didn't give Season 4 much of a chance. I did hear that I dodged a bullet with Season 5.

The thing I liked a lot about Season 2 was it spent the majority of the episodes on some one-off non-arc related stories (even had one where Valmont was doing stuff completely unrelated to Shen-du) and some of the gap-filling for Season 1 that were sometimes interesting.

Realized something about Jubilee in her fight with Sunspot.

She'd been considered "the kid" throughout the old series, not really part of the X-Men, but this is really the point where she's fully graduated as one of Xavier's "soldiers", for better or worse, when Sunspot can apologize for attacking her and she just fires back with everything she's got.

You know right before all that Sunspot rejected Jubilee's friendship in favor of Magneto and subsequently Jubilee burned his contact card, so I don't think Jubilee is taking this as a 'soldier' but rather as a personal betrayal.

Ill bite.

In what way exactly is Judge Merchan subverting state law by punishing the defendant to incarceration?

You don't even remember what you were quoting? This is about people saying that $1000 isn't good enough when that's state law. Wanting to go over that just to punish Trump won't fly in court.

divot1338 posted...

The average person, hell any person other than Donald Trump, would be in Rikers Island.

If you already know that you already know why subverting state law to punish Trump wouldn't work.

divot1338 posted...

Plus that tweet is wrong. By limiting the court to $1000 penalties Merchan allows Trump to continue causing mayhem during the trial, influence or threaten jurors, and demonstrate that any former president who is a degenerate scumbag can break any law he wishes.

We all know $1000 is nothing to Trump, but to the average person (eg, the jurors) that is not a small potato.

The manga was originally about several different kinds of games with Bakura as the villain and then Duel Monsters ended up being really popular IIRC and it ended up being the bigger part of the manga. They eventually just stuck to it. It has an interesting concept and I like the darker tone, especially with Atem. The opening is also pretty damn sick.

Bakura I think only appeared in one story arc before the card games took off (along with Kaiba becoming a more prominent character; he was a one-shot villain with the card game motif while Bakura was the RPG guy (the story was adapted for Duel Monsters))

Bought a bundle pack for 4x less than its going price (this was a pricing error on the part of the store).

Need to do it faster.

Of the ones you listed, Oath in Felghana. You may as well start strong.

And don't worry about going 'in order' it just doesn't matter for any of them other than I & II.

If the X-Men need Wolverine more than Wolverine needs the X-Men, he should branch off and just go solo. It's better than standing in everyone else's way.

I remember there was a time when Wolverine was on every X-team. Unless he still is.

Yeah, that's the tweet I heard reported.

I heard on the local news that Trump was tweeting while court was in session blasting the judge the whole time. That wouldn't surprise me.

If Disney makes it canon that Jar Jar is a sith, I would create a super company and destroy them. That is my villain overlord origin story.

I've had it with this crap. Sometimes, a character just stinks. Not every film is going to be Scooby Doo and vindicate your hate-wank by turning someone evil unnecessarily. It's okay to dislike an obnoxious character. They don't have to secretly be Hitler just because you don't like them.

It's not Disney canon. They went the other way with Jar Jar by making him ostracized and outcast (because he is blamed for his misguided role in the birth of the Empire), which in some ways is worse.

So was the first film. And if you compare the trailers they arent even close in quality. Little wall breaking and the jokes actually flowed well and organically into the story and narrative. Which was the same for the movie.

Here though? Its bordering on kind of cringe in my opinion.

So I take it that means you've seen the movie already...?

Cemith posted...

That gives me hope, but remember, this is Trump we're talking about. If given an inch, he will take a 5 mile runway. If it only takes one juror for a hung trial, then you better believe that his defense team is going to get it.

He is nothing if not motivated

Yes, I know, but I still find the idea that Trump is some kind of mastermind laughable and if he believed having a potential direct line to a juror would help him he wouldn't keep that to himself long enough to last through the trial.

I would suggest, before people 'automatic L' on the trial because you don't like something about a juror (and let's be honest about this, we don't know everything), remember that jurors can be removed if they actually do something improper, even in deliberation.

Kinda feels like this was just another successful delay tactic by Trump.

I'm sure everyone knew this when it happened weeks(?) ago, so this filing seems more like a formality for the hearing.

SoV had a LOT of random scenarios for characters dying, including a lot of ending changes, some unique post-battle dialogue for characters if their friends/relatives died, and some unique plot changes like that one.

That game rules. They put so much love into it. I'm really sad that its sales were a bit whatever.

That's how Fire Emblem was in general in the early games because you were expected to have your units die through the course of the game. It's only 'relatively recently' (more like the GBA games) that the design philosophy changed, after it's been established that players did their best to keep units alive.

It's part of the reason why I find the idea of trying to 'save everyone, recruit everyone' in Shadow Dragon such a terrible and tedious idea.

Well, maybe can be retried, it is about as settled as Roe v Wade was. The basing for hung juries and mistrials to be retried was on a ruling that decided that jeopardy is not attached until the verdict is decided. But more recent than that the Supreme Court has ruled jeopardy attaching when the jury is seated.

So should there be a hung jury or mistrial, fully expect a case before the SC on DJT claiming double jeopardy.

A hung jury leading to a mistrial does not lead to double jeopardy because that result brings the trial to a standstill with no resolution. Double Jeopardy applies when there's a final resolution to the case. Their actual angle from that point would be to go after the judge or the prosecutor for procedural violations.

Mearcstapa posted...

A hung jury/mistrial will be bandied about by chuds and the media the same as an acquittal. They're functionally the same.

No, it's not. Mistrials can be tried again. For one or both side(s) that can be detrimental to their case just as much as it could help them.

I read that for many potential jurors their old social media posts were being brought up as reasons to disqualify them. It's a reminder that if you're going to post something on social media make sure it's something you wouldn't be embarrassed to have read aloud in a courtroom years later.

This really happens a lot. There's another big story in the news (off topic here) where social media posts were a huge factor.

darkace77450 posted...

Those are just the ones looking to get out of jury duty. It's the Trump supporters keeping their mouths shut and their heads down so they can force a hung jury we've got to worry about.

They probably don't know that getting on a jury with that intention is actually a crime.

When I think about it, if I were a prospective juror for this case I'd be scared out of my mind at what Trump could say/do on social media about me. And that would hopefully automatically disqualify me, but I would still be haunted by the idea that he's not above posting remarks about the jurors.

AlphaWhelp posted...

I'd love for him to say he's too sick to be at court. I'd grant the motion immediately as judge because I know his dumb ass would be seen on live TV later that day obviously doing fine and I'd hold him in contempt. Alternatively if he's so committed to that lie where no one sees or hears from him for the whole trial, I consider that a win as well.

This didn't work for Michael Jackson (he was dragged to court in his pajamas) and I can't imagine it working for Trump.

Nunyobidness posted...

That would be interesting if he can bring himself to try that. He's such a raging narcissist and constantly boasting about how perfect, strong and great that he is I can't see him faking an illness because it would make him look weak to be sick.

I could have sworn Trump was a germophobe and didn't like shaking hands with people.

could the school have legally searched his backpack? How could they have known he had a gun, IIRC the parents didn't even inform the school they purchased him a gun and he would have had access to it..

They wouldn't legally be able to search him unless they had suspicion that he was carrying out/about to carry out an illegal act. And that's beside the fact the kid was sent home with the parents and the parents sent him back (from what I understand the kid didn't have the gun the first time).

Do we know what he's suing Judgebro for?

I'll revise, because I mean, we all know what he's doing it for (for attention and for a delay): Do we know what he's pretending to do it for?

Well, he still can't sue the judge no matter what it's for.

I mean, he can try, but that will just make the judge mad at him.

SA:O would be an S-tier anime if Kirito weren't a Marty-Stu all the time, because there is some really good writing, interesting sci-fi elements, and some very intense character moments. Just tone down how great he is at everything and how when Kirito is not on screen everyone should be asking "where is Kirito" - and the show goes from A to S tier.

I don't think it's an accident that Kirito is the least interesting thing in SAO. While there's a number of things Kirito did that were legitimately awesome that doesn't stop anyone else from doing something awesome and people will remember that because it wasn't Kirito.

Speaking of making old dudes who have been serving their kingdoms for ages but is taking them forever to become a actual unique character compared to a generic/NPC, I loved how after all these games cheng pu finally made playable status.......but the warriors game he debuted in is crappy dynasty warriors 9. Like some old monkey's paw type shenanigans.

I've had time to think about it for years and I really don't think Liao Hua is even in my top picks for being in the game anymore. Living through the entire length of Shu's reign isn't really good enough anymore (I mean, Liu Shan does that). I think the actual angle Liao Hua needs is his inability to change anything despite his long years of service.

If there's anyone I want to see the most now it's Zhang Xiu. Half of his service is under Dong Zhuo and the other half Cao Cao (he died following the end of the campaign against the Yuan brothers; in essence he's basically got a service span slightly longer than Guo Jia who also died following the campaign against the Yuan brothers).

The team that did that would get fined by MLB.
