People keep telling me that it was actually a good reboot, totally worthy of the Ducktales name!
...And I just look at how the show took what was clearly the original Darkwing Duck, made him that universe's version of Negaduck for wanting things to be like the original series, and then told me that they're just fans with their own vision and I should just give them a chance to make everything completely different! It doesn't exactly give me the confidence that they're going into this with the purest intentions.
Also, they made Burger Beagle skinny and have literally no character. Because jokes about gluttonous fat people are verboten in the current year. The past MUST be re-written at all costs.
Guess you're not reading your own stuff.
Since when do YOU lot care about the Constitution?
It really does bother me, how quickly people these days accept retcons and new media that doesn't line up with old stories. If you don't care about consistency, then why care about anything?
When I was a tyke, I was all about trains. Trains were the coolest thing in the world. Nowadays, my interests lie elsewhere, but I still have a deep appreciation for all the mechanical marvels we've created.
Just think of it. We've essentially built our own animals. They need food. They have joints that need lubrication. They have intense networks of interconnected systems that all rely and depend on each other to function properly. It's downright incredible!
How in the world do you get "I don't need to talk to God because it's a foregone conclusion" from "I am capable of talking directly to God without needing any other intercession than what He has provided me." What kind of nonsense is that?
There is praying for others, and then there is praying to build your own relationship with Him. You can ask the dead for all the prayers you want. But if you're building statues to pray to them and dedicating your body, soul and deeds to Mary, I'm going to say that you're literally putting these things between you and God. Idolatry.
In reality if you believe that there even can be such a thing as a saint, or that Mary was a real person(and if you don't you aren't a Christian anyway), then the logical progression is that they are closer to God than you are, and thus asking them for intercession and advocacy for you makes sense.
The temple veil was torn. Jesus' death was the ultimate intercession for all. To treat His earthly mother as an extra step between us and God is superfluous at best, and downright demeaning to His sacrifice at worst.
What's with the downvotes? I can't imagine any context where offering ones self to Mary, a fellow human being, the way you would to God makes any sense.
It's the double standards that get me every time. The fact that one thing is said, another thing is done, and we're all just supposed to pretend that nothing is wrong with this.
It's gonna look like an SCP article, isn't it?
I remember in my younger, more naive, days asking people not to use disparaging terms for aspergers, just because I'd seen that's what you were supposed to do regarding your identity. Being mocked and told no by people who were already on the road to the pronoun parade definitely got me thinking about why I wasn't allowed to play the game.
How much you wanna bet they count downloading SNES and N64 roms as someone not paying for a Nintendo Switch Online subscription?
I will pay nothing and I'll be happy.
I have fond memories of watching shows like Dragon Tales, Between the Lions, Cyberchase and Wordgirl growing up. There was a lot to love about old PBS. But of course, they're banking on us associating our nostalgia with the new regime's propaganda.
It's literally the Bugs Bunny communist meme.
Someone suing for being an idiot on the land? "Your land."
Protecting yourself by walling off the land from idiots? "Our land."
Hey, if it's anything goes, you might want to work on not being such an obnoxious twat anyway. You know, just so people don't decide they're done with you wasting their air.
I have to wonder if this demonizing propaganda is effective demoralization or if it's so blatant that it's accelerating the rate of noticing the truth.
So... question. With how garbage Google has been lately, and how mediocre the alternatives are. What's stopping someone from making a new Google search engine that worked the way the old one did?
With regards to the populace having the ability to remind our evil overlords who's boss? No. Without civilians who are armed to the teeth and capable of retaliating if pushed too far, everything else becomes moot as the government and military have literally no reason not to go full totalitarian. It's why they HAVE to resort to these subversive tactics. They can't risk open war with the civilians.
...Without the Second Amendment, they will IMMEDIATELY come for every gun. Disarming is not a question of "if" when it comes to corrupt government. (But I repeat myself.)
Interesting take. Even still, I'd rather have the means of self defense when the time comes, then be disarmed and have even less of a chance when the death squads roll up.
Quick Summary:
Mario Kart World's gimmick is.... being an open world. They added intermission roads between the tracks that the players are expected to drive on between races. However, players have by and large rejected the intermission experience for taking up 2/3 of the laps in each race, and for being dull straight-line drives compared to the actual tracks.
It was discovered that when playing online, by selecting "Random," you could make the game select tracks that have no intermission connecting to the last track. This forces the game to let you drive all three laps as normal. En mass, the fans voted for the classic Mario Kart experience. Lobbies were filled with nothing but "Random" votes.
Nintendo's response? Patch the game so that Random is now heavily weighted to only pick tracks with linked intermissions.
TLDR: Nintendo doesn't like it when their playerbase rejects their gimmicks.
No wonder commies are so supportive of tribal cultures. Professional courtesy.
But remember, real women in real life don't look like this.
I related to Fenton growing up because he was an utter goof who still stepped up to save the day, whether with the cool Gizmosuit or just by being a numbers savant. I didn't like him because he was "white." He was a duck!
Re-writing him to be a different character in all but name and still making him Gizmoduck is essentially killing the original character I loved and replacing him with an imposter. It's like it's intended to be demoralizing or something....
