What's the tough decision? If you're unwilling or unable to devote the time necessary to train a puppy, you give it up for adoption/give it to a friend/family member/etc. That is what 99.9% of people would do. You don't shoot it in the face.
That only makes sense if you think like a normal person and not a super right wing fascist type person.

You don't understand, the dog deserved to be killed because it annoyed her.
Just like the cops when they murder defend themselves against unarmed black teenagers, Noem's gut instinct that the dog is "bad" and deserves to die should never be questioned.

"Endearing" is the wrong word. What that story is trying to convey is, unlike the feckless vegan snowflake liberals who are scared of guns and American values, she's capable of making the tough decisions needed to be seen as a good leader in a conservative hierarchy.

It also might be intended to imply that she's gonna be coming for antifa and the groomers and the fentanyl dealers and the [insert minority group that you hate here].

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Well in order to have a really successful business, you need both. Someone to think of and create something great, and someone to market and sell the idea. It's very rare to have someone who can do both.

If Wozniak had never met Jobs, he would have either slaved for some big corporation and made them billions while getting paid maybe a few hundred thousand a year, or he would have put his brilliant ideas out in the public and some other guy would have ripped off the idea, sold it to another company, and made their own version of Apple Computers without paying anything.

So in spite of the shitty treatment he got, Wozniak is probably lucky that he worked with Jobs, because otherwise he probably would have been screwed over even more.

My first real game I beat was Legend of Zelda. I think. I think I beat Zelda first quest, then SMB1, then Zelda second quest. And there probably were some other games that I rented and beat in between SMB1 and Zelda second quest, because that one took me awhile.

I will have to admit I do not disagree. But I think the problem is that most FF only has one generic battle theme so we get a bit tired of hearing it
Yeah that's definitely part of it.

Honestly I think JPRPGs would be better off without battle music for regular enemy encounters. Just let the music for the area play uninterrupted. Then use battle music for enemies that are mini boss level or above.

I remember doing this in first grade because it was my first time peeing in the open with my peers. In kindergarten the bathrooms had just been little rooms with a single kid-size toilet or urinal. When I did go to public restrooms it was with my dad and I didn't really look at how adult men were peeing. It had never occurred to me to do anything but pull my pants to my ankles when I peed.

I still remember EVERYONE laughing at me the moment I did it. I had never been so embarrassed before that. Of course I never did it again but I still feel a tinge of shame when I think of it.

Also when the cancer spread far enough and was basically impossible to cure, he suddenly got desperate and used his money to cut in line for an organ donation that was completely pointless at his stage of cancer. And he cut ahead of someone who actually could have used it to extend their own life.

While he was no tech genius, you could make a case that he was a genius in terms of figuring out what people liked, what would sell well, and how to make money. He was at least very smart about that. He had a few stupid ideas too, though, and he was very stubborn about them when he was young, but it seems by the 2000s he learned how to listen to people better.

HUGE asshole, though, and an absolute monster to his first wife and daughter for most of her life. Even after he stopped being Disney villain level terrible to his daughter, he was still an asshole who refused to admit how bad he had been.

action52
04/27/24 10:01:02 PM

Family Guy, at its best, was maybe 10% as good as peak Simpsons. And I think their biggest problem is a lack of likeability. I like, if not love, pretty much every Simpsons character everywhere. But I don't think there are any regularly recurring characters that I really like except Stewie.

Peter Griffin I kind of like but he can be a bit much sometimes.

Brian often feels like he's being preachy or it feels like the show is trying too hard to force us to relate to him.

Lois is kind of boring... she's a grounded character like Marge and Lisa Simpson but those characters make me feel emotionally invested while also acting as good foils for Bart and Homer.

Peter is also boring, all he has going for him is Seth Green doing a silly voice.

Meg... I feel sorry for her because the show seems to DESPISE her character but there's nothing about her to make me actually like her.

Would it be a hot take to say that, in general, Final Fantasy regular battle themes aren't very good? They always seem to be near the bottom in every Final Fantasy game that I can think of.

Boss music, on the other hand, pretty much always ranges from great to awesome. Although... the final boss music usually isn't as good as mid game boss music.

Am I the only one who thinks this?

It's strange, when I pointed out Bernie could skip the primary and win with ranked choice voting everyone just went back to talking about the 2 party primary.

The primary system is bad just like the electoral college is bad. They both favor conservatives.
I agree with you. Ranked choice would help things a lot.

However, no matter what we do, any system that chooses candidates is probably always going to skew conservative. This is because they always get less people voting than the general elections. And conservatives always vote more when turnout is low.

That's the real reason Bernie and Warren couldn't win. The people who support them just don't vote in primaries. The only way candidates like that have a real shot at making it to the general election is if the democratic party's center shifts far enough left that even counting conservative and centrists they have a majority, or young people and progressives start showing up in much bigger numbers.

.yeah I wasn't being super serious I don't typically use akshually

But I've never seen homicide as an official charge. And I've looked up a lot of inmates in this state. I've only seen murder and manslaughter
"Homicide" is a blanket term that includes both criminal and non-criminal acts. For example, if you kill in self defense that's considered a justifiable homicide. Or if someone dies in a car accident that's your fault, it's a homicide and you will probably be legally responsible, but under most circumstances it's not a crime.

I don't think anyone opposed to the bill is saying Tik Tok doesn't have any problems. But those problems are endemic to social media in general. Our issue is that Tik Tok is clearly being singled out. And no one has found any evidence that Tik Tok is any worse than other social media. All they have is vague accusations (with no evidence other than the fact that they used to be headquartered in China) that the CCP is controlling the company and using it to spy on us somehow.

So now we have this xenophobic law that will take away something that younger people really enjoy, and since it leaves all the other tech companies alone, there will be no benefit to society. We'll just have all the same problems on the American-owned apps.
