it’s an acronym, and like most of them the point is to not have to use the entire name. Do you say ‘I just need to stop at the automated teller machine’ or ‘I have that film on digital versatile disc’?

The entire rest of the world

There’s an old belief that a game has no real consequences - I.e. Worst case scenario is you lose. A sport has a worse case scenario where you die.

I don’t follow basketball because, well it’s basketball, so don’t know the rules that well - can someone explain why people are pissed someone took the ball from someone else? Isn’t that what you’re supposed to do? Did he do it illegally? In which case he’d be penalised?

I was over acceleration and even top speed contests a while ago. Lap times tell you much more about a car than anything else.

If this fucker ruins Horizon by convincing them to make the story a perfect storm of verbal diarrhea and a bad 80s cold war novel I will be very mad.

It’s a result of the nationalism that was brainwashed into Americans in the 50s/60s as part of a PR campaign to ensure allegiance to the country in the fight against communism. Before then the US flag was seen at appropriate locations and ditto for the anthem. Since then the flag has become the wallpaper for every…

Isn’t this more of a scam than a joke?

Kojima in incoherent story non-shocker

In addition there’s plenty of evidence that the pickup trucks available elsewhere in the world where true competition exists are better products

You are ruling in many ways, and not in others. I guess my ‘pushback’ would be the idea that it’s destiny for that to be the case now and forever. For one it diminishes all the great Americans who did great things to help put America where it is by suggesting it would have happened anyway because it’s predestined. I…

I was quoting you, I would think it needs quotes?

I don’t think it’s news that soccer is gay propaganda.

In addition, your use of “American Exceptionalism” itself is possibly part of the difference in views. Like many great empires you see yourself as destined to rule, destined to always be victorious. History would suggest it doesn’t always work like that.

It would depend on the war to be honest. For instance a US invasion of China would never work - the US would lose that. A Chinese invasion of Taiwan could indeed be overturned - eventually, and not in a matter of weeks as you suggest.

Technically true, except that no one, even the Taiwanese, actually believe the US would go to war with China because of it. It’s a strategic agreement that China would give little thought to if they actually decided to invade.

New Zealand Best Zealand

You emphasised several times that the weapons weren’t offensive and wouldn’t allow Taiwan to invade the mainland.

Man I don’t know what Ferrari did to Jalopnik as a child but you guys have got a hell of a chip on your shoulder about them.

I think if there was ever a choice where you could make Clementine die, poison gas should be released from your device as you’re obviously not worthy of being alive.
