I mean, I suppose “cartoony” was more along what I meant. But you could argue DQ11 was “cartoony” (and it is!) but a lot of the jokes in the series have leaned toward having a subtext that kids wouldn’t get - DQ 10 made me laugh multiple times even when I was 18-20, with the constant “COR BLIMEY!” every time the Toad…

The gay community is awfully whiny for a non-marginalized community.

The people going after Chapelle now for his latest special are the same people who would have been participating in the Kristallnacht.

The difference is, “woke” and outrage culture wasn’t raging unchecked like a California wildfire the way it is now. These whiny idiots are a societal cancer.

Art style and music aren’t really comparable. I didn’t think DQ11's music was bad at all, didn’t really bother me, I don’t tune in to it too hard. That said, you can turn volume down or off. You can’t turn off a childish art style.

I would, but I’m severely allergic to overt and intentional racism.

In a number of states, “voluntary manslaughter” is just a different term used to describe “murder 3.” The penalties are usually identical, they just like to be irritating and use different terminology.

You really have to put in the work and nail the execution when your sister can’t stop winning gold medals.

If you think felony murder is “complex” or “fucked up” I seriously weep for anyone stupid enough to listen to you.

This, exactly. Basically most state laws include a “felony murder” charge that reads if anyone dies during the commission of a felony, you will be charged with that murder regardless of premeditation or intent. The legal theory behind this is that when committing that felony, a reasonable person would know there was a…

So you’re an idiot that doesn’t understand what “felony murder” is.

THIS JUST IN

The last time Splinter did something The Root didn’t like, The Root recreated the Oakland riots in text form.

So instead of covering important things, like yet another FEC complaint against Ilhan Omar for embezzling funds, or the arrest of major activists in Hong Kong, KK instead deigns to write a blurb about how the Navy is recruiting...which is, like, what the armed forces do..Unless she is subtly insisting that she wants a…

Ah yes, I’m positive many people would be PSYCHED about not getting paid for a few weeks.

HamNo has been writing this same article since Gawker existed. Nothing has changed - nothing will change. HamNo is basically just the guy standing in the desert screaming in to the vast, sandy nothingness.

They do get their payroll taxes, from whatever agency that contractor is paid by. If that contractor is truly independent, that person is already going to be paying their taxes quarterly anyway.

You’re going to see a lot of horrible replies now from people who don’t understand how the law works and somehow argue that she doesn’t use her Twitter for “official purposes” or that “she didn’t block constituents.” It doesn’t matter if they’re constituents when she votes on matters that affect the entire country.

The decision controls, which will be how the litigation plays out. Regardless of whether the people are her constituents, she votes as a member of the HoR on matters that affect the entire country, her argument would only apply if she was a member of the state congress, and even then it would be flimsy as she would be…

Old creepy metal chick..Cool, good to know.. Glad I don’t listen to metal. Also really don’t think you understand the meaning of “quality of life.” You, uh, keep on posting memes at age 40 or something.
