Did the station get bought by chance? Tons of radio stations are owned by just a few big corporations. Of course you know they are going to tow the party line.

At current, Capcom has not publicly explained the reasoning behind their decision to censor this specific dialogue line.

Yeah, that’s not necessary. There’s really only one reason.

Something like Back to the Future made total logical sense, here we are in a place we don't belong, and things might go horribly wrong if we don't try to fit in.

In 2024 though, "hur durr Jeff Bezos." They should have ended up burned at a stake.

I’m just waiting for them to violate the 3rd amendment so they go for the full sweep of the Bill of Rights. They will claim they didn’t because “these are poor innocent little migrants we’re forcing into your home, not soldiers.”

Oh, this is a remake? I guess even more surprised. I need to dig into 80s stuff more, I’ve paid almost zero attention to that era of TV.

They could take every DEI out and make it appear flawlessly historically accurate, and it would still look like shit. There’s zero writing ability anymore. I can go back and watch TV that predates my birth by nearly 30 years and get the comedy. This modern crap, if you don’t follow the trend of the week, good luck, and it’s still not funny if you do understand the reference.

I don't like the new world. Computers were a mistake. I wonder how much work I can get done on a typewriter.

Very nice. They ran our grades on and old school system (think terminals) and a ton of the teachers still kept paper before they turned it in. I realized that the laser printer wasn’t properly fusing the letters on for this one and essentially scratched the grade off and with a few careful tests on blank paper I printed a new letter in its place. I couldn’t even tell with a magnifying glass. Later on I actually got my hands on some of the special paper they printed them on, but I was about to graduate and never did anything with it.

Computers at schools those days were a blast. They weren’t locked down at all. We used to download from Napster and burn CDs and I had Quake on probably half the PCs in the school. There was even one teacher for a CAD class that would totally let us play it the last 30mins or so of class if everyone was chill and worked on their assignments up until then.

Ah shit, I shouldn’t type on a touchscreen. I do that a lot when not on a PC.

I’ve been laughed at for my downloading of all my GOG games and in most cases I keep them both on an external HDD and burn a disc. I’ll win in the end, if only by not being expected to re-buy some Enfaggoted Edition on iSteam in 10 years when Newell keels over. It’s worked in the past, when that whole Dark Forces remastered thing got my attention I pulled out an original disc I bought as a little kid with my birthday money and loaded it into a modernized engine no problem.

You’re weird and socially awkward because you’re autistic.

That’s really the answer. There’s almost 100% likelihood they’d have lumped me into high functioning autism if it was a popular thing when I was a kid. I fit like a perfectly to both that and undiscovered adult autism.

I never moved on and felt like an happy until I got your point in my head. All I had to do was move on, accept there are times I’d never fit in, and not worry about it. After a few years it was night and day. The answer wasn’t dick surgery it was ignoring everyone else feeling the need to solve me.

I haven’t played that since Xbox 360 was still the current console. I liked it back then. Can I still refund it?

Possibly. I'd not expect them to give the EU the finger. It's not their way. They get American chaos either way.

Its the Chinese government. What would you expect otherwise.

Could you imagine the backlash if suddenly some sort of Yandex social app became a big thing in 2020? The Chinese always get an exception.

There's the Matt Walsh types of course, but I notice it almost 100% in the boomercon groups. You hear so much "video games are bad", "anime is weird", etc.

I've told them things like how are video games inherently bad to do a few hours a day when you watch TV on the couch just as much. I tried to tell my mother to go watch some fairly generic anime (the type of which you'd actually find an actual kid watching, think the Shonen Jump stuff or whatever) and then go watch whatever mainstream kids show the West is presenting to them. Then decide which she'd actually want her grandchildren to watch. She won't, because "I just don't understand that weird stuff."

Are these archive sites all broken again? I was fine until yesterday. It's making me like the ghost archive site I keep seeing.

They are just being obtuse. Everyone knows when you talk about an Asian, you aren't talking about some Arabian, Israeli, Indian, Russians, or whatever. Just like when you say someone is American, they are from the United States of America. Yeah, there's Canada, Mexico, all the places in South America, etc. Someone from Brazil is Brazilian, someone from the USA is American.

I saw some ad trying to push the paralympics on me. Don't care about those either. Not everyone needs an event, life isn't fair.

45 minute drive from Eastern TN to Western NC? You went from nowhere to nowhere. Your journey would have started and ended in some very small towns, and we know a good liberal would never have been doing that. That's extremely mountainous area you're not going to make much progress in 45 minutes. I'd be shocked to see enough communities large enough to have 23 churches. He just made this up to own the dumb rurals, who have probably read more books than any of the monkeys in his urban ghettos.

Next up, I'm going to drive through West Texas. Omg I drove an hour and didn't see a single building. These people are so dumb they can't even build a building.

It's been a while since I've posed that question, but it's been my main response for many years. This is by far the best answer I've ever gotten. In the past it's usually been autistic sperging or accusations I'm secretly an agent of the Jews in some acronym organization.

I'm still not sure in this case claiming I'm duped by the Jews for choosing to generalize a statement is of much use. I'm just glad to finally see an answer to my retort with some intelligence.

I concur. When I originally quit it was really for that reason. It did nothing but make me angry. Not necessarily over mean tweets, just the mix of stupidity and propaganda manipulation.

While I do have an account again, it's more to occasionally be able to open a link because Nitter got to be a pain, or to search for something hot in the news I want to find info about. I went from looking at it multiple times a day to once a week at most.
