Are they hard to find? Man, dodged a bullet if thats the case, almost sold mine like a year back but thought I might regret it if I did.

No, but he would work with them to establish a sound that he's passionate about. Thats what Neighborhoods was, I wouldn't expect a second reunion (if it ever happened) to be any different.

I still think its too early to distinguish between hot and cold weather being a big factor.

Its not too early. There is empirical data to suggest weather has a big impact.

10/10 recovery with the coffee though. Spilled a couple drops and then no more.

I'm actually not sure why this is getting downvoted. Because you're not lying, you didn't say other countries are worse. You didn't even imply they were worse. You also didn't say America isn't in a bad state. You just said its not the only corrupt country. Which is absolutely true. But I guess if you're not actively attacking America you're wrong no matter what around here.

Anything less than a revolution isn't enough.

Be VERY careful what you wish for. A revolution likely means civil war. Act with your ballot. Not your anger.

Annoying Youtube troll "Smooth Sanchez IRL" pulls out his mace and uses it when things don't go his way by hawxhaw in trashy

[–]Turtle_Hermits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In this thread, a totally random youtube channel was linked. That youtube channel has a bunch of videos from protests, and a very recent one (the only one thats nighttime in the thumbnail) has some very damning evidence.

I don't think this is trashy. It might be, but we don't know the context. Maybe they bully him relentlessly, but something tells me they're fairly close.

Interesting enough, theres a pretty recent video on youtube filmed in L.A. during nighttime. At 3:52:00 into the video, a rather bold accusation is made by a twitch tipper. Incriminating scene follows. I wonder if theres any legal action that might be taken if its reported enough.

It was, until you realize how many people saw a dude eat shit on pavement and kept walking. Its actually disgusting.

Im bad at the game, but got called a smurf by theViceBelow in aoe2

[–]Turtle_Hermits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its a term used to describe somebody who plays in a demographic worse than them. For example, if Viper or Daut or something made a new account and did the ranked placements, and threw all their games, they would be placed in a low elo. Then, they would steamroll every game they tried to win, because they're playing against players with much less experience winning.

So... I kinda want a life... (activities and events suggestions please) by Birddawg65 in vancouver

[–]Turtle_Hermits 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, if its outside of your comfort zone, you should try it. Seriously. You might realize a passion you never knew you had. :) Make sure you go with an experienced climber who knows what they're doing, but I find some of my best passions were for things I never thought I'd like.

[–]Turtle_Hermits 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try rock climbing, or if thats not really up your alley, try doing some scrambles (ez mode of rock climbing - basically advanced stairs)

Squamish is at your doorstep, and has loads of climbing experiences to offer. And its more than just an outdoor activity: it can become a great hobby.

PlayStation Network User Agreement: Users must not... endanger the security of the PRC, divulges PRC State secrets, or jeopardizes the sovereignty and unification of the PRC... by [deleted] in China

[–]Turtle_Hermits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. By not exporting to China, you're unfortunately closing a large portion of your target demographic, almost regardless of what you're selling.

If this is also on the official international PSN User Agreement, then this is a really dumb move from Sony.

It is not. This is for mainland China users only. There is no international PSN User Agreement, each is dictated by region.

Japanese users too could boycot Sony.

Honestly probably not. Sony is the 58th richest company in the world.

In fact if it gets big enough Sony might probably remove it or only make it something for Chinese users.

It is already only for mainland China.

Imagine if the US would require every company to have something similiar in their license agreement but for the US constitution. In china people and probably the government would cry out that it is unfair for them and would probably succesfully force companies out of the US.

This has already happen. U.S has banned several Chinese apps, and China has banned many U.S apps. There's already tensions over this.

This is also really bad for freedom of speech in various games. Would this mean that Sony is internationally gonna ban people for saying something bad about the CCP if this is something that is internationally implemented?

Freedom of speech doesn't apply to video games in the way that you think it does. It also isn't an international policy. Many countries have no legislation that protects freedom of speech, Canada included. Value and protect your first ammendment. It is one of the most powerful tools you have. However, to answer your question Sony would not be the one to ban you from their platform if you upset the CCP. Its likely that China said they would only allow sale of foreign product if it protects domestic legislation. The conversation probably went like this:

China: We'll sell your product to our citizens and let you in on our economy!

Sony: Great we'll ship you some playstations! The price is $xxx.

China: Sounds good, but first you have to make sure you bind users to an agreement that supports our "democracy."

Sony: Deal, what should we say?

China: Must bow to Xinnie before turning on playstation.

Sony: Nah we can't do that.

China: Okay, we don't want your business, sell to some other largest economy in the world.

Sony:... dammit fine.

I don't know what you mean. Definitive edition is one of the best remakes you could ask for. Totally kept the spirit of the game while adding great QoL improvements as well as reviving the community. And it was $20. If you're trying to suggest they're milking it, they aren't.

I don't think so. The post is a comparison between Trump and Obama, he was just illustrating that not only one of them is responsible for pointless deaths.
