Softly saying "Mr Vice President" doesn't do shit.

It's much more challenging than Pokemon and has a much better story with some truly fun, memorable, and sometimes hilarious characters. It has some flaws that I find acceptable for a $20 game, but even so the developer is continuously patching the game to address those concerns and is very active on Discord.

Comment on The entire plot of The Last of Us 2 and one major cutscene has been leaked in ~games
brotherhood4232 LinkI’m personally glad this got leaked. I was going to buy it, but now I’m not. I disagree with a lot of the direction the devs chose, but that’s not really why I won’t buy it.

It would make me feel bad. I think I’d be sick to my stomach having to play through certain parts of this game. I don’t need that right now or maybe ever really. I can’t imagine why Naughty Dog thought it would be a good idea.

brotherhood4232 LinkThose are some pretty sweet benefits. I'm surprised Vox makes enough money to pay for all of that.

It seems to me that what some people are after is for everyone to pretend their size doesn’t affect anyone else. They shouldn’t have to buy two plane tickets. Every chair should be made stronger to support them. When they complain about feeling terrible all of the time, they don’t want to hear that losing weight will probably help. That’s actually a good example of what I said about Japan. If fat person complained about feeling sick and tired, their relatives would tell them to lose weight.
That’s the thing that bothers me. I don’t want to actively shame anyone, but if someone goes out and engages with me, the world, etc., their size isn’t insignificant and we shouldn’t have to pretend it doesn’t exist.

No need to be deliberately cruel, but no one should have to make any effort to make people feel normal, healthy, attractive, etc. It’s not any of those things. It’s not “internalized phatphobia”. It’s our brains telling us, “that person looks like they couldn’t run down a deer or outrun a lion, so they are useless to the tribe. They look like they might die during childbirth or die and leave me alone with a child. ” We don’t have to do any of those things anymore, but people are naturally attracted to health and fitness.
I feel like society needs to put some kind of pressure on people to keep people doing the right thing here. Maybe not go as far as them, but Japan does this successfully. They are very blunt when someone is getting heavier and as a result there are almost no fat people in Japan.

Figure he'd notice if all he had to do was talk louder.
Anyway the whole thing was a shitshow anyway. I guess we will see how Yang does at the next debate. God I hope some people are weeded out soon.

They had the same setup all night last night. When combined with them only asking him two questions, it doesn't look good.
I don't even really like Yang all that much, but this seems unjust.

Comment on Democratic Debate #1 Thread (Night 2) in ~news
brotherhood4232 LinkGoooood. Shut up about Trump! You're not debating Trump! Everyone there already thinks he sucks, so talk about something else! Edit: 538 said Bernie had mentioned him the most... Sigh. What...Goooood. Shut up about Trump! You're not debating Trump! Everyone there already thinks he sucks, so talk about something else!
Edit: 538 said Bernie had mentioned him the most... Sigh. What happened to not wanting to talk about Trump? He was all about that at the town halls.
I guess they just threatened to. It seems to be keeping Trump from interrupting as much as last time.
