@sciencegirl Loved this damn game.

For those who used a computer between 1995 and 2001, what's the computer game from that time that sticks with you the most, and why

@AaroFTW Saw someone comment something to the effect, you should learn some english if you plan to travel. Bitch, they're in Japan.

The mental gymnastics in this video kill a bit of my soul jeez. Youre in a foreign country and you misheard him someone who clearly was struggling to respond in English and your mind immediately said oh this guy MUST have said something racist to me.

@shoe0nhead @UBERSOY1 So when Jesus doesn't return, shouldn't Christianity end? That would be pretty cool.

Did Trump just announce that he'll be targeting residential areas + places of worship? This nigga is not only going to be impeached but he'll also end up a war criminal like Netanyahu. The United States is a rogue state at this point. Literally acting like the world's biggest villain.

@RealEmirHan Lol

Steven Seagal says Tom Cruise was the wrong choice for The Last Samurai. “They have a 5-foot-2-inch guy, whether he was straight or gay, I don’t know. Doesn’t speak Japanese. I got phone calls saying, ‘That role was perfect for you. How did it happen?”

@animeoutsiders There are certainly anime that compete for the title. HunterxHunter Neon Genesis Evangelion Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood AOT I do think Bebop is in a class of it's own, but I think of the ones I mentioned, they could all be interchangable on the GOAT list.

Reminder that Cowboy Bebop is so peak that many anime fans consider it passe to even acknowledge it. In order for the show they prefer to even qualify as "the best," Bebop needs to be taken out of the running. It's so good, its status as the best is such a given you're considered the asshole for even bringing it up. You have to keep it out of the conversation for any other title to compete. There may be no other piece of media to have that effect on its medium.

President Donald J. Trump’s Board of Peace has announced its first round of founding member countries, which include: - Albania - Argentina - Armenia - Azerbaijan - Bahrain - Belarus - Bulgaria - Cambodia - Egypt - El Salvador - Hungary - Indonesia - Jordan - Kazakhstan - Kosovo - Kuwait - Mongolia - Morocco - Pakistan - Paraguay - Qatar - Saudi Arabia - Türkiye - United Arab Emirates - United States - Uzbekistan - Vietnam

@Rngcarl @misfitpatriot_ Just goes to show anyone spouting confidence one way or the other right now is just assuming their position. It's got nothing to do with what really happened.

@Steliby @misfitpatriot_ I still can’t tell whys going on.

She won’t release it because it will exonerate the officers

@DHSgov You can clearly see his weapon firing the second shot in line with the audio.

@DHSgov To me, it looks like the black-beanied, tan vest, long sleeve green shirt officer approached from behind from a position where another officer would have been blocking his view. He drew and fired the first shot into the suspect's back, then circled and continued shooting.

At 9:05 AM CT, as DHS law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted operation in Minneapolis against an illegal alien wanted for violent assault, an individual approached US Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun, seen here.  The officers attempted to disarm the suspect but the armed suspect violently resisted. More details on the armed struggle are forthcoming. Fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers, an agent fired defensive shots. Medics on scene immediately delivered medical aid to the subject but was pronounced dead at the scene.  The suspect also had 2 magazines and no ID—this looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement.    About 200 rioters arrived at the scene and began to obstruct and assault law enforcement on the scene, crowd control measures were deployed for the safety of the public and law enforcement.  This situation is evolving, and more information is forthcoming.

@RobinHoodlum @SammyObeid @sock82 I think what you're missing is the claim that the officers had no legal authority attempting to detain her, nor access her vehicle. If that's true, they would be the aggressors, thus making the shooting unlawful. She'd have been effectively using her vehicle as self defense.

@SammyObeid @sock82

If someone tries to run you over, and you shoot them to prevent it, that’s self-defense. If you kind of but not really almost get hit by a car because you’re standing near the front corner, harassing a driver with no actual legal authority, and then once you’re out of harms way, you shoot the driver… you’re just a murderer who made your own uniform.

@AltermateEgo @Critical_Scribe I appreciate you. Till next time.

@Steliby @Critical_Scribe Your patience against unreasonable abuse is the only reason, ergo: I salute you.

This scene is suffering from what I call “Dorian Pavus Syndrome”. For those of you unaware, Dorian Pavus is a character in Dragon Age:Inquisition who is a pretty cool dude. He’s suave, intelligent, calculating, everything you could want from a mage character. He’s also gay. Whatever, he didn’t really seem to make a big deal about it at first and I wasn’t planning on romancing the dude, so I didn’t care. However, his character quest is where I saw the first examples of the current issues with scenes like this. His entire character quest is us going out of our way to talk with his father about reconciling the complications of being gay and being the oldest son in the family. They could have done anything else that may have included this theme, maybe some espionage where you discuss this in the middle of waiting if you REALLY wanted to talk about it. But no, we go to a tavern and talk about Dorian being gay, because that’s his central character trait now. Not only this, but this is in the midst of what’s basically an archlich amassing an army with a ZOMBIE DRAGON, and traveling to talk to Dorian’s father takes time, time in which you can assume this hell on earth is amassing forces. We could be taking steps to prevent this, but no, we gotta talk about Dorian being gay. Were this some simple adventuring party with a slice of life angle, I would be fine with this quest, but you slapped it in the middle of an apocalyptic scenario and flanderized your own character in the middle of his first appearance. That’s where my issue lies. This scene reeks of that as well. If they really wanted to do this, they should have focused up and allow Will to come out when there is downtime to his friends, but they went out of their way to do this when things are probably dire, and that’s what gets people annoyed. Idgaf if he’s gay, the world is at stake! Know how to address your themes appropriately and people would accept them more. When you make it THE thing to talk about, it annoys people because of this clear pedestal you want to place this on. I now await the swarm of people who will go “holy yap” and not engage with my points at all.

@AltermateEgo @Critical_Scribe Very cool. I wasn't expecting you to agree with that after the hard stance, but I'm glad we can find some common ground. To be fair, I too agree that they could have done it better.

@Steliby @Critical_Scribe Okay. Yes, there was more context and imo it was clear that they intended for that context to be understood to provide reason for the approach they took. I never said there was none. Just that the reason ppl dont weigh the context very highly is because it was poorly executed.

@AltermateEgo @Critical_Scribe The context.. Will is powerful, but was scared to participate. Will faced his fear, gains courage enough to participate. Again, No defense of the writing. But there is more context there than the game that was referenced. You acting like there's none is silly.

@AltermateEgo @Critical_Scribe I honestly don't know how to respond to you. I've been very clear that I'm not defending the writing, but rather explaining that there is further context than the game it was compared to. And you keep failing to see the context. I guess I'll try to break it down..

@AltermateEgo @Critical_Scribe So you've confirmed that you're incapable of reading. I guess you're doing a little coming out tonight too.

@Steliby @Critical_Scribe the points you've been making are directly related to the quality of the writing, dumbass, that is the point I'M making. You can't tell the difference and think the choices are equal but one is a suboptimal choice in the writing.

@dduhnzoe @Critical_Scribe I think that's a fair assumption. I would hope that not be the case, but this is X we're on.

@Steliby @Critical_Scribe The person you are replying to hasn't seen the ST episode. They think they get the gist from context and are assuming it is like something from dragon age.

@AltermateEgo @Critical_Scribe I'm not debating the quality of the writing. I'm debating the use of the comparison. Keep up.

@Steliby @Critical_Scribe making excuses for shit writing is somethign but just cause you jam some excuse for logic into it doesnt mean it's the right choice.
