I think it's a hard spot for Nintendo to be in, due to the nature of his apparent suicide. It would be a simple thing to name an NPC "Robin", but at this very moment there's an aspect of the situation that strongly goes against Nintendo's family-friendly values. That's just my take, mind you.

They were only suggesting "Robin', which wouldn't be that out of place.

You can't leave a child alone whilst you go off to work, that's what swung having a dog for me.

...you should know who you are by now, whoever that may be.

Totally on board. This person was telling me that every single person who has been suicidal had the right mind to see that their actions were selfish. When I confronted her with hard facts about how the brain works and doesn't work in this situation, for some people, she said that I was just spouting stuff out that my…

To steal what someone else said on another message board: Technically, suicide is a selfish act. However, people who are clinically depressed to the point where they're seriously considering suicide aren't capable of thinking rationally about such things.

Maybe I could say right now I'm 100 percent straight. But who knows? In a fucking year, I could meet a guy and be like, 'Whoa, I'm attracted to this person.' I've met guys all the time that I'm like, 'Damn, that's a good-looking guy, you know?' I've never been, like, 'Oh, I want to kiss that guy.' I really love women.…

Maybe we should put educators back in charge of education.

Seriously, what is it with rapture obsessed parents and driving? My parents spent my entire childhood telling me that I'd never get to drive because of rapture. When I turned 16, they wouldn't let me apply for my actual driver's license because they held out hope. When I turned 18, my mom forced my dad to let me get…

Great in theory, but the problem is, it makes the kids pay for the parental fuck-up. Now if the PARENTS want to spend their lives in blissful ignorance, that's fine, but leave Junior out of the equation. Oh, wait... they did.

I'm 25 and I would fucking house this girl to let her go to high school and help her get scholarships to college.

I'm forty two and don't drive. STILL WAITING ON THAT RAPTURE.

No, they do still teach multiplication tables. At least they do at my school. Only they're called "math facts" instead and they come in little triangles. Which might be a sneaky way of indoctrinating kids into the idea of the Trinity, I'm not sure.

Aw, you left out the best part of the story.

"In 2006, El Paso Independent School District met with the parents about an anonymous complaint that the children were not being educated. District attendance officer Mark Mendoza later confirmed that one of the daughters, Tori, had run away from home to "attend school," and…

Doesn't the Bible say that nobody knows, not even the angels in Heaven, know when the time of judgement is set to arrive? How did these parents know? Nevermind the fact that the Rapture as a concept in Christianity is sketchy at best.

Oh, man. My former hairdresser and his wife are both rapture fanatics, but at least they kept their kids in school. They did tell their then-12-y-o daughter she would never learn to drive because they'd all be raptured before then. She's got to be at least 18 by now. Wonder how they explained that one.

I remember people freaking out about the rapture in 2011. I was texting my husband and he didn't respond for like 20 minutes. Finally I was like "dude, if you're getting raptured, at least have the decency to send a text".

This will be my new excuse for not getting shit done. "I'm sure I'm going to be raptured, so I'm not going to renew my driver's license."

But Tracy said that he never saw the children reading books, using computers or doing arithmetic. Instead, the children were seen playing instruments and singing.
