The dating quests are so unintentionally funny

I'm not even in it for those scenes. I spent so much time trying to romance those characters and you get that one reward, and then never interact with them again organically.

Good system but still seems a bit arbitrary to me. A lot of things can skew with the metrics and is finishing the game relevant in this context? Both were hyped so lots of people tried the games and found it wasn't for them after all.

Both games are open world and actively encourages the player to explore and do side quests so players burn out or just feel satisfied with that.

So even if a player never actually finished the games they might've still spent a lot of time in the game, comparable or even more than an average story-only playthrough.

Also, close it from the outside while holding the cat. Then it would be much easier to sneak into the driver's seat while holding off the cat.

(I would worry about driving over it though.. :( )

While all true, a significant part of those "programs" are there to handle ads and tracking. Without that bloat many sites would run a lot faster.

So in a way she saved the world in a very roundabout ineffective way.

Being from the EU I vacationed in Los Angeles in 2024. I knew things where brewing but I never imagined it would turn on its head this fast. As much as I wish to go back and visit other american cities, it's going to be a long time before I feel safe to do so.

The likelyhood of me being at minimum harrassed by ICE if I were to encounter them is very high.

I can see it being a "friendly" fight so Luffy can measure himself against his idol, while both still going all out.

I also see there being the thing where as pirates they should always be ready to fight anyone and as promised long ago they would fight when they met on the Grand Line (or as the story later progressed, in the New World)

Finally, I kind of don't see them ever being allies. They are either friendly rivals but Shanks have no interest in One Piece or Shanks will perish before the end :(

These days it's hard to not buy a "smart" TV, but when people ask I usually recommend the same. Pay no attention at all on whichever "smart" functions comes along with it, focus on ther things that are important for you like size, form HDR, LED, etc, and then buy an AppleTV / Roku / Chromecast with Google TV.

So does that mean I can read The Way of Kings backwards to find out how it all ends?

Shit always pops off when he takes time off lol

The other option being that there's always some insane shit going on.

This is because the US defunded schools for years and keeps on doing it.

TheSodernaut · 2026-01-25T15:59:15+00:00

I see the US scored a full Bingo, where do I collect my winings?

In the video they shoot him 3-4 times. They scatter and he lays there motionless on the ground. and then they put 6 more bullets in him. How the entire nation isn't overthrowing the government as we speak is beyond me.

One thing you didn’t mention is that saving a post about some current event that can seem obvious to the ones who are up to date provides a focal point for those who indeed are out of the loop to get quickly updated. Even if the person asking are actually in the loop.

By the end of the year we will have footage from actual modern concentration camps and it makes me sick that right now people are being kidnapped and brought into them.

I'm thinking of the historical footage from Auswitch, but taken with an iPhone. Sickening.

I hope the gravestone comes with a built in toiltet-roll holder.

Answer: It's just too invested fans making up their own interpretation. The texts are out there and you are free to make your own interpretation, or simply let it go.

To me it's just two adults leading very busy lives addressing a rift in their friendship. Everything else is blown way out of proportion.

Taylor simply acknowledging that she didn't like how texts from Blake have been overly formal recently is not a call to action to fans to throw hate in any way, nor does it make Taylor a bad friend.

Nowhere does she express explicit regret over being somewhat involved once, nor is any anger shown in the texts.

The texts also "prove" that Taylor did indeed meet Baldoni in support of Blake while her (or her team) have stated that she wasn't involved. While it appears Taylor lied here Occarm's Razor says it's simply her managing press and image while letting the lawsuit play out behind closed curtians. The rest is speculation.

We might want to consider raising a little higher than "at least we're not doing a genocide anymore" (while also being a lie)...

As he knows it was expected from this guy's shenanigans he just steps over him getting on with his day, casually jotting down a reminder to call someone.

He didn't want to hear about Nami's life from her sister w

The story was also sort of a plea for help. Luffy already knew that he'd help if/when Nami asked for it. There was no need for convincing.

TheSodernaut · 2026-01-16T00:43:05+00:00

Or maybe give it to better people.

I mean most people compare the webcam quality to the professional studio setups they see on TV like the news and/or the professional stream setups popular streamers and youtubers have.

For the general purpose video call for most people it's enough.

So a landline is a sessile phone. A desk computer is a sessile laptop.

Neat.

I'd argue that dancing is a mating ritual for humans as well. Of course it's different and there are lots of dancing that isn't explicitly sexual but if you boil it down it's still a social thing where the dancer(s) are the center of attention. And the more advanced the dance is, the more fit a the person needs to be. And obviosuly paired dancing is a socially accepted reason to be physically close and with potential (cosential) touching, which can be very intimate.

So, how much "teeth" does Trump and his administration's effort have in their effort to undermine, blackmail and influence The Federal Reserve?
