I'm curious as to which pro-democracy groups were mad about the term limits thing. As far as I can tell it's just the OAS (not a pro-democracy group) and a bunch of op-ed writers who are paid to hate socialists in the media.

That's an interesting though, AFAP. Just shooting wildly from the hip (and playing rather fast & loose with the notion of 'philosophy'): Traditional: no bonus or penalties Epicurean: Bonus effects from potions Cynic: Advantage on Detect Lies and Survival Sophist: Advantage on Persuasion and Dec...

I'm surprised anyone hears of a leftist head of state in South America (or anywhere, but South America is more of a gimmie here) getting pushed out by force of arms while US media praises the change and thinks anything but "this is a coup and if we give it a couple weeks we'll find out the US i...

I've been in pain for a while, so I've not been sleeping. Now I'm on steroids for the pain, which is good. Except it prevents sleep and makes me angry all of the time. Does anyone have suggestions for relaxing TV shows or games or whatever? Have you tried marijuana (assuming it won't interfere with...

Radiant Dawn fucking rules, outside the obnoxious "lol ballista crit" bullshit. But really, what would FE be without randomly getting fucked by a ballista crit?

Call them a lot and complain/explain your situation. I used to avoid overdraft fees fairly frequently back in my poor days by just calling and bitching even if I knew I'd fucked up.

Fuck banks, lie if you need to and get your money back.

It's been a while since I read it, but Pillars of the Earth handles rape pretty well iirc (but maybe too graphically? I was kind of young when I first read it). It had a major impact on the story and was incredibly traumatic for the character who was raped. I'd encourage people not to use lots of ra...

Bulletproof plan.

"Your honor, XxX_GanjaNinja_XxX called me a rapist on the Internet. Please cancel him and make it acceptable for him to be hit by a car."

I've got DBFZ and, of course, Super Smash Brothers: Melee (which does have good online play now if you're willing to jump through some hoops). Switching from Smash to a traditional 2D fighter makes me feel really constrained since movement options change based on where your opponent is, and learning...

I'm so sorry DSM and Maj.

Writing long-winded screeds about how literally everyone believes you and is on your side and how dare people accuse you of being bad is definitely the sort of behavior I'd expect from an innocent person. The dad part is super weird too. Why should anyone believe him that the email he posted is her ...

Every time a police officer kills someone, if they say 'I thought my life was in danger', a majority or near-majority of people will believe they were justified. If we can make the 'I thought my life was in danger' appear completely ridiculous, the ONLY JUSTIFICATION that police officers have for t...

Sorry to Bother You is fucking brilliant and hilarious. I can't recommend it enough, and every mention of it makes me beam. It is a masterpiece, right down to the horse cock.

Even at a glance it's fucking bizarre that he started with saying " She is the very last person in the world who needs any more pain than she’s already been subjected to," and then went on to say the following: She's literally incapable of living a normal life She is spiteful enough to try...

There are a lot of Shitmuffinisms on display in his rebuttal. There's even a point where he denies saying something, and in the same paragraph says that even if he did say it it was totally fine and just a reference to something.

Truly Shitmuffin is the person Shitmuffin always showed himself to be.

Is shitmuffin actually getting accused of a crime, or is one of his victims just coming forward with their story? I'm asking since the thread title makes me think he's being formally accused of something, instead of somebody telling their story of how they suffered at the hands of an abuser. I would...

Wait...

The Guardian wrote:The tunnels are Musk’s solution to “soul-destroying traffic”, a way to make roads “go 3D”, according to the company’s website.

Make roads go 3D? Has Musk never heard of bridges?

The best idea Musk ever had was stealing emeralds from his dad to make some money. It taught him the valuable lesson that being so rich you literally don't know what to do with your money means you can do virtually anything with no repercussions.

He was never brilliant, he was always rich.

Far be it from me to cast aspersions on extramarital fucking, but weaving polyamory into your identity or your needs isn't vastly more meritorious than it is with video games. I have spent weeks waking up in different beds every morning and passing occasional coffee-brewing boyfriends on my way out...

Yes, Fortnite is best enjoyed with friends. Duos are fun if you've only got 1 person to sucker in. Solo is fun and all, but now that everyone has gotten better 1v1s feel like work. You both build a gigantic, convoluted series of ramps, walls, and floors until somebody can maintain the height advanta...

Sure you may have a better quality of life up in Canada, but you know what you won't have? Freedom *. *Freedoms you may miss include, but are not limited to, the following: the freedom to get gunned down by lunatics, the freedom to pay almost no taxes if you're wealthy, and the freedom to hunt homel...

Well an update to this, it turns out he's become a follower of one Mr. Jordan Peterson and we are no longer in communication with each other because I said he was nothing but a cult leader peddling 'nonanswers' to people's problems and he took great offense to that. He's becoming a proud libertaria...

Another good way to implement finishers, and another one that comes from Dragon Ball FighterZ, is having finishers deal a lot of damage but be easy to recover from if your opponent isn't killed by it. In the game a super move deals a lot of damage, especially if you do it without a combo, but all th...

Or swarms of quadcopter drones, each one carrying a shaped charge, with software trained to swarm an area, communicating with each other to cover all the space, find targets, move right next to them and go boom. Drone swarm technology has been a thing since at least 2013. I don't think a world powe...
