Then you’re one of the good ones!

I’m not a Pokemon fan and never have been. But I’m thinking this is a great time to start, if only to use my purchase to offset a bunch of children who are still crying about a bunch of perfectly reasonable design choices. Game Freak doesn’t deserve this, and you guys should be ashamed. It’s like when Monster Hunter…

Japanese seems worse about this than most. You can translate a line five different ways, each with somewhat different meanings in English, but have none of them be “wrong”. Where you put the empahsis, how you try to preserve the tone, the specific words you use and their connotations vs other perfectly acceptable…

Good catch.

Exactly, it’s just... we haven’t had to do that in a while. And we don’t want to.

Like any weapon, it’s all benefits and trade-offs.

Wait, come back!

What I was trying to get at was more, you have to honestly evaluate people’s criticism, but you can’t let it just bowl you over either. For example, a lot of people probably would criticize her playing or covering Overwatch, but there are also good arguments you can make about why it’s okay to do so. You should listen…

This is demonstrably untrue. Please read the law before making comments that are only going to make you look ignorant. In most jurisdictions, while drunk, people of both sexes not only aren’t able to consent in sexual matters, but in other matters as well. Contracts signed while drunk are not valid. Gifts given while…

You can’t please everyone. No matter what you do, someone will disapprove. You should listen to people’s criticisms, but you can’t let yourself be ruled by them, either. At the end of the day, everyone has to do what they think is right.

You’ve got your whole life ahead of you. Make it a good one.

Normally I’m one to give the benefit of the doubt, but please do not presume that I am a fool. So you’re saying that any random speech that mentioned politics would’ve received a year ban of three people and a forfeiture of prize money? Ludicrous.

Yes... every capitalist nation is the same. Just like every communist nation is the same. Now where have I heard that foolish and reductive argument before...? I just can’t remember.

That’s not really true. There are plenty of capitalist economies out there, but their cultures don’t all worship money in the same way that the U.S. does. I think you’re conflating the two.

It’s true that a given corporation may never know about actions I take to reward or punish them for their behavior. But I’ll know. It’s the same reason I wouldn’t buy stolen merchandise, even though the crime has already been committed and my refusing to buy the merchandise will not hurt the seller. I may not…

I think he’s saying the screw-up was in seeking a murder charge to begin with.

Frankly I’m surprised the prosecutor sought a murder conviction. There doesn’t seem to be anywhere near enough evidence to support a conviction of murder, even in the second degree. I agree that this tragedy is sickening, but the law is supposed to be applied without bias. The fact that I’m mad as hell that this…

Mistakenly entering someone else’s apartment inside your building doesn’t rise to the level of illegal entry. Also, the statutes you cite require intent on the part of the perpetrator.

“The last time I know, flushing is allowed in this country.”

Ah yes, the Nobel Peace Prize for Not Being George W. Bush.
