well, societies are built on a foundation of stability, so that's possible. Dunno if it's true though.
I hope I don't come off like a dick here, but that seems like more of a semantic argument than a useful one. either way, you're still deceiving yourself, whether or not your deception is successful.
ex-cons are the real victims
nothing new under the sun...
not a problem, I too have an overflowing email inbox, lmao.
ah, thank you. I was answering the question, but without that context, the judge's statement sounds...sketchy...
She has since set up a charity called Next Chapter Scotland, which aims to “help anyone who has been involved with the criminal justice system to navigate the stigma and discrimination that they can face throughout their lives”.
aaannnddd there it is... the reason for the article...
Not exactly what I mean, but when you absorb a lot of political content, the concept of lies and deception is definitely on your mind, and I guess my brain just started to get curious about it.
aside from the morality of it, the concept is definitely fascinating to scrutinize.
oh, I wasn't being critical. I'd never thought about it that way is all.
it's something to ponder is what I'm saying.
nah, lmao.
This goes back to the early to thousands for me.
...plus over the last 8 years, i've started paying attention to politics, so that might play a role.😁
Thank you for confirming my bias on this issue, lol.
Jokes aside, I appreciate you expanding on what I said and hopefully making it more approachable to people less autistic than me. 😁
no arguments on the morality.
it's good to understand the mechanics, though, even if you avoid falsehood yourself, others do not.
sidenote: it's also true that often the truth hurts worse than a lie.
interesting approach.
fascinating.
...but what does any of that have to do with the price of tea in china? lol
3.c. Alterations or removals done in order to change the intent of the dialogue (i.e., Fire Emblems IF’s removal of the 26 boxes of dialogue in exchange for 4 boxes of “…” to signalize a conversation between ninjas) shall never be done. If the original dialogue was not made to have a comedic tone, the translation should preserve the non-comedic tone and vice-versa.
...I have mixed feelings about this one, honestly. The Ghost Stories ADV Dub was comedy gold. If they have an option to watch it with the original dialogue, I'm okay with , for lack of a better word, an "outtake dub" being included.
well, that's something I actually agree with him on.
Fun bit of trivia: there are three major console developers on the market, and none of them started out in vidya. actually, now that I think about it, only one of them started out with a focus on electronics hardware...
Nintendo also started with the whole rumble pack for the N64 and analog sticks, which spurred Sony to follow suit with the dualshocks.
pretty much said this, athough about as autistically as I possibly could, lol
but yes, that's the point of my post, the company are aggressive as hell on copyright, always have been. (they used to go after every video on youtube that even had a nintendo game in it, emulated or not, dunno if they still do.)
Nintendo are asshats, but the one bit of praise i'll give them is their focus. While Crony and Microshaft focus heavily on graphics, Skintendo always focused more on the interface. (Sega fell somewhere in the middle as I recall). Yeah, they improve the graphics from console to console, but the main focus has always been on the link between the player and the game, the controller. The first playstation controllers didn't even have thumbsticks, but because nintendo demonstrated it made the gameplay more fun (with a bit of a learning curve), sony quickly scrambled and released the first Dualshock controller, adding the rumble feature that the n64 put on an add-on at the same time.
Heck, even the modern gamepad layout owes a lot to nintendo. the now-standard d-pad on one side and four buttons on the other with at least two shoulder buttons layout owes a lot to the success of the SNES.
Again, I'm not some rabid nintendo fanboy, I don't even own any of the modern generation of consoles (PC has just become better at this point), but credit where it's due.
...wish I could drop them a line to open a community here on scored or minds, for that matter, seeing as they'll probably get nuked from orbit if they even try to open a plebbit page, but I don't see a good way to do it on the github, and I don't have a functioning twitter account. =/
hate to say it, but I'm unironically waiting for one of these woke companies to try to pull that off...
They're just too egotistical, too ignorant of their opponents (us), and too good at mental gymnastics to try do it, just to own the right...
All I can think about is this tidbit from a website that's been on the interwubs for decades...
