I think he's got it backwards.
The administration isn't imposing it's will on the courts.
Some judges of the courts have decided that executive orders are like Magic the gathering counterspell cards and they can just snap a decision away.
If the sitting president can't have an executive order without having some judge meddle with it, then what exactly is the point of an executive order.
You'll notice this never happens when an executive order comes from the D camp. Just the R camp gets blocked in this way.
What a day to pass away on.
I'm going to watch Top Secret, Tombstone and Heat.
Should be a fun night.
... so you're saying you want to burn school children and kill their parents?
Is this the own they think it is?
It's not just that the trust is lowered. It's fucking gone. You can more than likely know what your kids are capable of by now in a store if they're 7 or 8. That they won't start something stupid or get into trouble.
It's that you can't trust others not to do something stupid to your kids, and have others watch as it happens, and do nothing, while you're just trying to shop and get the hell out of there before things like that happen.
It's not just that we're no longer a high trust society, the trust is dead.
These people forget that for just about (I can think of a few examples around level 24ish and level 56ish that didn't have it's more traditional looking armor set) every skimpy or revealing armor set, there was also a set that covered more and showed less skin.
And you notice those fully covering ones being made by cosplayers a lot less to the point where the number can be counted on one hand.
Blumhouse is Asylum tier work. It looks good, but beneath that veneer of good, it's just trash. Endless trash.
I can't even get my aging parents to use telephone banking let alone online banking. A system like this will fail before it starts.
It has to be old school and it has to make sense to someone who thinks a computer is a magic box even after you explain to them exactly how it works.
What gets me about this particular set of ignorance is the dumbass excuse that it seems many old people have "but how does it work? if I have to fix it I don't know how it works."
Do you think you could fix your microwave real quick, or your VHS player? Yeah you know exactly how that works right and you can fix a problem easily in those things, right? How about your radio alarm clock, or your wrist watch. You can fix those right?
God damn it I don't want to get old if it means being intentionally retarded about the things around me.
She had the choice to just stay quiet, do the movie, and move on.
Instead she chose her words poorly, forgetting how replaceable everyone is.
If by some unseen force we continue to see her, she's more than likely going to have handlers from now on, and no one will go off script again.
She fucked herself in this one, and there's no way out.
She could have tossed the first one off as 'oh yeah, I was so nervous I was saying really dumb things.' 'First interview jitters.' 'bullshit fake reason number 3', etc. Who cares. Just say you were wrong and shut up. But instead she double dipped and annoyed everyone around her.
People are just sharpening their knives now, waiting for her back to turn. And it won't be the big bad meanie bad reviews that hurt her.
I also said this too:
Well, it's there. Such as the state of things are. So you have two choices.
If you absolutely have to play the game, make sure the gayness box goes unchecked, or simply don't play it.
As much as I'd like to see how the game is, adding that for me is an instant no as well.
There's been a paradigm shift.
People used to go online to escape the issues of real life.
Now people go offline to escape the issues of the internet.
Why do people do this? Honestly. This is getting really annoying. This website has an issue with taking things out of context for the purposes of arguing a point I didn't make.
I also absolutely hate this shit in games. It was on the list of games I wanted to try, now I'm never buying it. I am against this shit in games too. In all it's forms.
What you are taking out of context is everything else that supports the same things I said, that you just said, but in different words.
That's how i Come
Honestly I don't know why you'd admit to that, but okay. Out of context theater presents: how this dude comes.
The problem is, Canada really only has 5 cities. I know there's more than that. I live in one of them not listed, but really it's just five cities.
And none of them are further than 10 kilometers from the border. Because of ease of trade.
There's Vancouver, Calgary/Edmonton (take your pick) Toronto, Montreal and sometimes Quebec City when people remember the province of Quebec exists ... when they ask for more handouts.
Never mind the maritime provinces or the territories, they don't really count either.
So the economies of all 5 cities are too closely tied to the US to do anything but have to give in to the US demands sooner or later. Demands like stop tariffing everything out the ass and try a fair deal once in awhile. (seriously, some goods are over 100% tariff, or worse. Did they think that would last forever?)
Or they'll get economically fucked as soon as they realize that nothing we export to USA they can't just say fuck it, we'll do it ourselves and spin up within a year or two and make whatever it is for themselves.
The US has lumber, gas, oil, steel, energy and auto parts. Which by the way is like 32% of Canada's economy in just those 6 things.
And it wouldn't take much to ramp up production on those six things, and fuck Canada into the toilets while we scramble to find people to sell it to for under value, all so we can pretend it's affecting USA because of orange man bad syndrome.
Which is literally what the liberal government did to our oil for a few years.
I think so far at 4 hours in, the only thing I disliked big enough to bitch about for this game was ... the marketing. Let me explain.
The way it felt to play was more of a puzzle game like Myst. You find a note that leads to a specific area. Then you find the [thing] mentioned in the note, which leads to [other thing] and at no point is there hand holding.
It's like in Morrowind where you're given an idea of where to go and where the item will be to find. When you look at your journal it's just a location and a vague area to search. But not specifically such as right there on this shelf in this room of this place.
But you can approach it in almost any order. There are a few areas that seem to be off limits for now. Difficulty not withstanding. If you still have a rusty shotgun and a hand axe, but you go wandering into difficult areas looking for better stuff, you'll probably die quick. I sure did.
There's plenty of action, though. Not as much as I expected, but less than anticipated is about as best as I can describe it.
But so far it feels like a puzzle game with action elements, whereas the marketing made it sound vaguely like Fallout in a different english countryside time line. Which is more background dressing compared to what you're actually doing moment to moment.
It'd be like calling Fallout 4 a son finding game because that is the bulk of the story, but it's not what you do, and that's not what the game is about from moment to moment.
Anyway, it's pretty good overall. Considering the last game by Rebellion I played was Strange Brigade. And it could not be any different from that if they tried.
Well, it's there. Such as the state of things are. So you have two choices.
If you absolutely have to play the game, make sure the gayness box goes unchecked, or simply don't play it.
As much as I'd like to see how the game is, adding that for me is an instant no as well.
It seems like this is an appeasement and nothing more. And while I'd prefer they made the game they want to make, it's an optional choice in the character creator that you don't have to do.
And again, I'd rather they make the game that they wanted to make, and not the one they felt pressured to do, it is at least optional and avoidable if you really wanted to play the game.
An actual sequel. Canonically (or loosely canonically. The time line is pretty fucked) Zelda II: The Adventure of Link is one of the last games in the established chain.
So how about something that follow that.
On the flip side, I do not want a zelda game that a games journalist would call a masterpiece or a return to form. Every time I hear that now, it just reminds me of what we lost.
♩ "Splinter taught them to be hero teens" ♩
Nah, doesn't have the same panache.
They can fuck off with this truth arbitration bullshit.
"We decide what is truth"
The fuck you do.
Remember when Xi Jinpeng visited San Franciso recently and they literally made crime disappear overnight. No homeless, no drug addicts in the street. No tent cities.
Gone. Overnight.
They can do that at any time. They just choose not to.
I completely agree that these people need to be told that you can't fucking act like a fool and then get mad when you're treated like one.
However
If you have to be told not to be stupid, perhaps don't travel. And for the love of god don't procreate either.
"Have you played it Kamiya?"
Blocked.
Like clockwork.
The foundation is the obvious choice, and was a bad example to be used for the show. Since it doesn't matter if the choir's robes aren't new or not if the church gets more slanted. No one will be able to go into an unsafe building. It's irrational to think otherwise.
I get that it's just a TV show and all, but the premise doesn't add up.
He very much was. He even said so himself. He left because he was tired of the lies.
I was just thinking that they both got paid to tell the crowd they wanted to court what they wanted to hear.
That was Arthur Chu. But you'd be forgiven for thinking they're the same people. They're both grifters on the opposite side of the same coin.
He was also in the movie The Doors from 1991. But I don't own that one.
