I feel like the wealthy people you see are the ones who either get excitement from flaunting it or from lying about it (for example, mtv cribs was all fake). There are plenty of stories (yes i know they're just stories) about multi millionaires who drive the same old truck, wear regular blue jeans, and have a nice quiet (albeit larger than average) home.
It's not crazy at all. I just think we see the outliers more frequently than not because they want us to see them.
This is a really weird and unnecessarily aggressive take. I think that the other person is saying is that the communication about the games has been pretty poor, and it really isn't clear what the right move is. Other games make a lot more sense in both continuity and playing order. I'm not sure why that's such a difficult concept to grasp.
For example , FF7 remake isn't actually a remake. It's only the first act of ff7. Rebirth is somehow act 2? I don't understand why. Some people seem to think rebirth is DLC instead of part 2 and a standalone game at that.
I'm personally an og ff7 purist, and I'm rather annoyed that they split this up into multiple games. I'll just wait until all 3 are released and then... admittedly probably not play them unless they go on sale
I feel like the post can be interpreted more than one way. The way i took it, the person in question thought they were in a romantic relationship (perhaps socially awkward?), and then meeting the "boyfriend's" whole family led to a shocking revelation - they were not in a relationship. Why else would that person introduce their family? I would imagine the two relationships would be kept separate!
I would guess the rundown and walking tall. Both are actually decent
Not to spoil it, but edward norton does a good job of playing an unlikeable main character. It was silly but fun and worth the watch i think.
I don't think it's fair to flatly posit that since the CDC has been wrong at some point in the past, they can't ever be trusted. While i understand the concept of don't blindly follow words regardless of who said it, the sheer amount of research and dedication from an organization such as the CDC should count quite a bit more than the folks who have done none.
I don't have the means to do such research, and as such i will more heavily weigh the words of the applicable research team than i will the words of someone who has no knowledge on the topic.
I think the question really should be not "have they ever been wrong," but instead, "do i think they're wrong on purpose." A lot of research teams are funded by one side of an argument, which is cause for concern. The CDC is most likely not, and it would be fair to say they could be wrong, but likely not on purpose. Therefore i would say in this instance they are the more qualified experts who are also trying their best to be objective, and therefore, they likely have the more reasonable statement on this topic.
Cocaine's a helluva drug
I can agree with some of your response to what was said by the other commenter, but my impression is that person was shocked that someone at a young age has been involved in double digit accidents that mostly sound like their fault. Some people really just are incapable of driving, though that shouldn't diminish that small lapses or true accidents do happen.
I would disagree that driving in general is miserable, though I'm sure this can vary by location. While i would prefer better access to efficient public transit (live in the USA), being able to get in a car and go anywhere is pretty freeing, provided it isn't during high volume times, especially on a freeway.
I think it's more of a book reference to his fight with bonzo, who was bullying ender. Ender was a few years younger and knew he had to win the fight "permanently," so it's inferred that he knew what he was doing (not intending to kill him but that's obviously a possibility).
Iirc, the officials told ender that bonzo was sent home. In reality, he did actually kill bonzo and was lied to about it.
I think they're referencing the manga/anime death note. So they're just writing in the names of countries hoping they will die.
Did a light google search, looks like the individual is the former prime minister of poland (between ww1 and ww2), and a fairly prominent statesman, who I'm guessing hated those other countries.
I did a quick Google search, and I'm guessing miso is the ulcer treatment misoprostol that you shouldn't take during pregnancy. A d and c is a dilation and cutterage, an invasive surgical procedure that removes something from the uterus. In this instance the something was a nonviable pregnancy that went awry from possibly the medication (or other factors).
Admittedly i was also confused about miso, and immediately thought soup? I was extremely incorrect
I'm curious about this but not really able to find anything. The sources I'm finding online are saying that kilts are predominantly Scottish, they probably were adopted from Scotland by the Irish, they're representative of Celtic identity (so also Welsh, Bretons, and Cornish), and can be found in other places, but not seeing much about an English kilt? Anytime I'm seeing Brits and kilts, they're wearing highland kilts.
Apparently the word kilt is a Scots word (not to be confused with Scottish English) meaning to tuck clothes around the body.
Uno spaghetto, but it doesn't follow the meme sorry :(
Oh i know that place! It's the corner bistro!
There are plenty of insurance companies that are like this. They're significantly cheaper than the nationally advertised insurance options.
I don't think it's fair to suggest that a more detailed logo is going to automatically be good in this context. People can complain about lack of detail, and also be disappointed if more detail is poorly executed.
What's also funny is that capito is italian for "i understood." Like, he understood this would happen, and it was kind of the point
He's just making a lewis black standup comedy reference
Looks like a Milchkaffee, which is kinda like a cafe au lait
Random encounters are a staple of Japanese rpgs, not rpgs in general (and also not all jrpgs have them). There are a plethora of rpgs without them! You will more likely see enemies on screen, and good rpgs allow you options to resolve things without combat (with some exceptions, like certain monsters).
That's fair, though he was trying to permanently end the bullying, which is what i think OP was referencing at least. Since, you know, that would end bullying permanently
His goal was to point out that it wasn't worth it to mess with him, he's going to fight back hard and take you out. It was about deterring him from wanting to ever pick on him. Right, his goal wasn't to permanently disfigure him, but to establish a permanent idea that it isn't worth it to pick on him
The word "sinister" is used to mean something evil and conniving, but it really just means "left," whereas "Dexter" is "right," but dexterous is now used to mean very skillful, agile.
The link i provided has that as well, and it says that Rawlinson created the short kilt in Inverness, Scotland, with the help of local highlanders. Might have been a guy from Northwest England but he did it in Scotland with the Scots, and it's an apparently dubious claim at that. The sources i provided also suggest that after the invention, the British army popularized the short kilt as opposed to the traditional long one, but it's still of Scottish origin (not developed by the British army as the linked YouTube video suggests. Conflicting claims. I admittedly skimmed through the video to find the relevant part). Still interesting though.
"The design of the small kilt was adopted by the Highland regiment of the British Army, the military kilt then passed into civilian usage and has remained popular ever since"
This does, however, sound similar to claiming that Italy was the first non Scandinavian Western nation to find the new world because Christopher Columbus was from Italy, even though the whole excursion was wholly financed by, backed by, and launched from Spain.
There's also dispute over the claim altogether from Scottish historians.
"Of course, many Scots dispute the notion that an Englishman invented the kilt. Indeed, there is some evidence to suggest that the kilt was in use before Rawlinson’s time. For example, the portrait of Kenneth Sutherland, 3rd Lord Duffus, appears to point to earlier use of the walking kilt. However, there are discrepancies concerning this theory among the Historiographical community, with some experts disagreeing as to the origins of the modern-day kilt.
Michael Fry, an eminent Scottish historian, debunked Lord Dacre’s claims about the kilt saying they ‘prove absolutely nothing’. Fry claims there is evidence that Tartan was worn in the Middle Ages—he also labelled Lord Dacre as ‘not a very reliable guide to Scottish history."
They're saying that allegedly, Christians are not big on voting, and this statement is meant to encourage those non voters to come vote just this once and everything will get better. Then you can go back to being a non voter.
I think.
Horrible wording no matter how you slice it, though.
Right, i think he's asking if there's some culture where the inconsistency is designed based on unit. So, for example, period for years, comma for weight.
I think it's simply an error. Maybe AI generated?
Good call, i forgot about that one! Also i just looked up stills of walking tall and the rundown, and he had hair in the rundown, and a buzzcut in walking tall, so add another movie that could be just like the ones pictured.
Check out Battle Beast. Strong 80s vibe, very theatrical. Their most recent album, circus of doom, is quite good imo, and they sound even better live. Highly recommend!
I actually don't think this is correct. Whom is used when the unknown person is the object being impacted (to whom did you sell your car). In this sentence, "who" is actually referring to a person performing the action (the sentences "who questioned him?" And "where are those who questioned him?" Would use who, not whom. You wouldn't say "whom questioned him," but whom could be used to replace "him," such as "he questioned whom?").
As I alluded to above, you can usually see if it's who or whom by changing it to he/she (who) or him/her (whom). You may need to adjust the sentence slightly, but it will normally work. Above you need to remove the "where are those" portion to find the answer.
So I believe that your correction came across a bit rude, and I'm fairly certain it is also wrong.
I disagree, "should've" and "should of" sound virtually identical when spoken (at least in some regions, can't speak for all pronunciations). I can imagine why a non english native speaker would have trouble with this, though I'm not disagreeing with it being a common issue amongst native speakers as well.
I can totally understand, and that makes a lot of sense. I think the sheer volume of accidents in the post are what's so shocking. I've only been in a vehicle with an obviously reckless driver two times (so far. And to clarify, two people, once each), and from my perspective, some people really shouldn't drive. Heck, one of those two times was supposed to be a casual date (she was picking me up, we were in college), and i asked her to drop me off immediately. Big nope.
I appreciate that point of view, and I'll probably give it a go eventually. Interesting that it's more of a reimagining. To be fair, remake was free on my ps5, but I'll still wait until they're all available. I might try it when the final two are on sale
Totally understand, and that makes sense, and i can appreciate the clarification and sentiment. I'm just starting XVI and the story is interesting, though the combat is not what i typically look for in a final fantasy game. I guess we'll see how it progresses..
I don't think it's fair to assume, at best, an accident is negligence. There are numerous things that can lead to an accident that wouldn't be negligence, such as normal wear and tear causing problems with something such as brakes or steering (perhaps not caught during routine maintenance as they weren't issues at the time), something falling into the road (weather related, wildlife, erosion), a glitch of some kind (two green lights, not negligence necessarily) , or visibility issues (even cautious and solid drivers can be at risk during poor conditions). These are just some examples, but in the cases nobody involved would be at fault.
I believe the comparison to a gun is woefully inaccurate and invalid. Both are machines with the capacity to cause harm, but the similarities end there.
Oof I'll be on the lookout for that, thanks for the explanation without too much spoiler. I really haven't been fond of combat for the last several final fantasy iterations, but i have some hope that XVI at least delivers on story.
Enjoy! If you get a chance to see them live, it's very worth it!
quietly turns around
This is how I've always understood it as well. The two spellings are homophones so it's a pretty easy mistake to make.
I appreciate your reply and question. I think it comes across rude because the correction wasn't really necessary to understand the context of what was said, and it's even less of a correction and more of a personal preference. It doesn't add much to the conversation, which makes it seem more like grammatical pedantry. The fact that it wasn't entirely correct made it seem even more out of place.
For the record, I'm not accusing you of being rude, just identifying how the comment came across. I'm not assuming intent with your original comment and apologize if it seemed like I had.
I'm not the other commenter, but I'm fairly certain they're making a play on the title of this post, which just ends with "They."
