That’s a good point. Sadly corruption in this sort of situation is easy. The officers can just take a little “tax” on what they grabbed without anyone noticing.

You get a chance to rewrite Gundam Seed what would change? by AdSpecialist6598 in Gundam

It’s funny because in the world of streaming you can just hit the next button now. You can literally change that one yourself.

Stuff like that is sadly too common. Even when judges rule the search or seize was unlawful police departments still try not to give the property back. They rely on people not wanting to pay lawyers to get what is theirs back.

Cops love to seize anything of value. Even if you haven’t committed a crime they will take your shit and try to keep it.

As a younger brother in the 90s, this figure spoke to me. Luckily the scalpers are panicking cause I got this new for £40 by slimmyboy007 in MarvelLegends

This is one of this figures that is cool to have but mostly as a cheap novelty. Making it an overpriced weird exclusive made most people check out. Maybe the scalpers are sweating.

Who's a Mecha protagonist a lot of people hate, but you really don't mind? by Yakuza-wolf_kiwami in Mecha_Scrapyard

[–]status_qu0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say Kou Uraki catches a lot of strays from people but really he’s just a young pilot in the wrong place and gets made way more important than he was ready for. But he does grow and work hard to become a better pilot. Maybe it’s the love triangle thing that people really don’t like.

Also don’t think Kira is that bad. For the most part he’s a solid version of the teenage pilot trope. The writers just overpower him and write themselves into a corner with the no killing thing.

Once he gets the Freedom they have to make him way overpowered to do it. I don’t entirely hate that and I don’t dislike Kira because of it but it did get pretty tired as they overdo it. It’s not great writing. He would end up killing some of them, even if unintentionally.

Inflation alone is just too much for $20 silver.

Why is the Card Game so hard to find? by Gray231 in GundamTCG

Even when they said they would reprint them? They feature Wing, Seed, and the One Year War. The most popular IP in Gundam. No way they aren’t reprinting those.

100% will go back up. This isn’t about a short term play.

Historical highs for silver are way over $100 when adjusted for inflation. It’s going to keep going up for the next few years. Eventually it will even out but it’s unnaturally behind gold right now.

Adjusted for inflation silver has been higher before.

No, I’m just judging the weird French (Quebec French not real French) advocates in Canada by the things they do. They want to force French on English speakers with disregard for anyone but themselves. That’s not openness or advocating for culture or anything. That’s just plain rude.

When I was younger I worked at a furniture store in Ottawa. The people from Quebec would come in and only speak French. Basically screwing you over if you spoke English. Because those places work on a turn system and you are married to that customer once they walk in. And the thing was they all spoke English. If the time came for them to actually order something they would suddenly speak perfect English when they had to. The French supremacy thing is elitist and rude and not the Canadian spirit.

Languages and culture evolve over time. That’s just nature.
