I’d argue the difference is that Mueller’s sole job as special counsel is to dig up and produce a case against members of the administration for international election interference, so at least in that case people are hopeful he’ll drop a bombshell. The rich benevolence idea is pretty much just informed by the fact…

Sure, but ICE as it is since the Bush admin, as part of the DHS, really should be shut down. Immigration should be an administrative issue, not a defense one. We already had federal law enforcement and systems to pass immigrants arrested for committing other crimes on a local level along to them when it was deemed…

Yeah, I understand that. I guess I was trying to express that, while it wouldn’t have been easy to win that legal battle, it isn’t impossible, and it’s somewhat fair for someone to criticize the University for not pushing harder than they did after bothering to tell Spencer to bugger off in the first place. I’d argue…

That’s actually somewhat debatable, since even public Universities can deny some public access to facilities as those facilities are often explicitly for academic use—a good example is that a University can deny someone the use of their music hall if they aren’t affiliated with the school (and haven’t been asked to be…

No one is advocating for free equipment, but if you can’t recognize that the difference in cost and time commitment between home consoles and an average gaming PC represents a barrier to entry into the PC space, then you probably aren’t mature enough or informed enough to have a worthwhile opinion on this subject.

You must not have read it, seeing as the Republic of Gilead is what was formerly the United States. The location is based on Cambridge, MA. The religion that rules the area is explicitly a form of bastardized Christianity.

Those aren’t really comparable situations, and if you think they are, you might need to re-evaluate your relationship with your significant other. We don’t share every password between us, but we’re pretty open with them since there’s really no reason for us not to be.

They changed art styles to make it easier to animate. The actual motion animation is great, now.

It was a morning show for a while when it first aired, though I don’t think it was for very long, and it’s entirely possible it aired twice a day. I’ve got vivid memories of the before/after-class-day-care crew at my elementary school setting up one of those old CRT screens mounted to a dolly in an open space before…

That’s the legal argument she’s trying to make, yes, and one that she’ll likely win. She’s pretty much just preempting any future lawsuits on the subject by having a court make the call. The contract does exist, so it could be used against her if/when she starts to speak more publicly about the ordeal, but if it isn’t…

They’re not wrong, that’s how fiat currencies work, ultimately. The federal government can spend as much money as they want, regardless of how much there actually is to spend, but doing so adds to the deficit, which devalues the currency by effectively creating more money. The national deficit isn’t a literal debt…

There were a lot fewer mass shootings (defined as any shooting involving 3+ victims) before the assault weapons ban was allowed to expire. It wasn’t perfect, but it definitely had an effect.

As it turns out, most criminals are law-abiding citizens until they commit a crime. That’s kind of how that works.

That only works if the only things unions do for their workers are negotiate salary and benefits, but their benefits are a lot more abstract than that. Unions have also led to and helped enforce things like weekends, 40-hour work weeks, and weekends before the federal government stepped in and took responsibility for…

You can totally put degrees after your name, and formally, that is where they should go, though it is pretty silly to put Bachelor’s degrees on. The high level ones, like PhD, MD, PD, and JD are pretty kosher, though, and maybe MFA, depending on where you are. I guess you could make the argument that those are…

I’m not saying they aren’t running simulation of what’s offscreen, just that it’s simplified. I doubt they’re running simulation for every bit of endemic life, for example (especially since their instances seem to reset if you wander a couple of zones away), and while large monsters probably have some sort of…

Seeing as Breath of the Wild managed seamless world simulation, I’d say that probably isn’t the core issue. It’s unlikely MH:W’s world simulation in areas you aren’t in or next to is nearly as complex as the ones around them, since there’s almost no reason to fully simulate zones the player(s) aren’t near. The maps…

If you still want the temporary buffs, the demon/armor pills/powder do that! They’re a lot more potent, and they stack with demon drugs and armor skins.

Greyed out elements are activated with the “Free Element/Ammo Up” armor skill. You can get points for it from the Dober helm, Zorah arms, and the high-rank Kirin set. There might be one more thing that offers a point in it, but I’m drawing a blank.

They absolutely have. I’ve been playing Monster Hunter for about as long as the series has existed, and I’ve probably gotten more plates than I have in all previous games combined.
