£20 for a large from Dominos???

I used to work there, we had a permanent deal for carry out where large pizzas were $8. £20 is fucking insanity

Yeah I thought it was known (and a good thing!) that when Waymo’s get confused there are remote humans to take over

I don’t think they should exist in the first place but if they’re going to, I definitely want there to be human operators who can cake over if the robot fucks up

For sure, I just don’t believe it happened at all

The video also shows a guy who looks nothing like Luigi wearing totally different clothes and a different backpack to the clothes and backpack they claim to have found that matched.

Like from the first pictures they showed of Luigi in the hostel, it was like “Cool yeah that’s a guy wearing a coat. A different one than the shooter.”

The fact that they’re allowing the backpack into evidence after it was searched off camera out of sight is fucking insane, and I hope the jury also thinks it’s insane.

The bar for throwing out evidence needs to be so low it becomes hard to convict people who obviously did it

Pretty sure the QAA one is still working

Tenants staying in one place long term also isn’t a bad thing necessarily, since people in one place for a long time tend to be better at taking care of their place. That’s one of the core arguments in favor of home ownership in the first place - get people to settle in, and they will willingly take care of the spot they’re at.

I can tell you for a fact I’m a lot more careful about what I pour down the kitchen sink at my parents house that they own than any apartment I’ve lived in for a year.

All the other photos near it were taken in Paris and at the Louvre so I think it’s probably the real one

Platinum or Heart Gold if you want something to play on your phone, X/Y if you’re using a 3DS emulator on a computer, Sword/Shield if Switch emulator.

Explanation of my answer because I’m high and felt like writing it out. I started playing Pokémon with Ruby and have played nearly every game since then, the only ones I’ve missed are Black/White 2 (2012), and Ultra Sun/Moon (2017). I have heard good things about both of those though.

Starting from gen 3: Ruby and Sapphire are obsolete because of Emerald. Emerald is very good, but it predates the “Physical/Special Split.” Prior to Diamond and Pearl, whether a move uses physical or special attack was determined by the move’s type, which sucked because it meant moves like Fire Punch wouldn’t use physical attack. This changes the games fundamentally and is a huge improvement. I love Emerald, but when I go back and replay it I use romhacks to implement the split.

Gen 4: Diamond and Pearl are obsolete because of Platinum. Platinum is a finalized version of D/P, it’s got a great story, and is reasonably challenging (for a children’s game). Cynthia, the champion, is generally remembered as one of the best battles in all of Pokémon. Heart Gold and Soul Silver are remakes of Gen 2 and are fantastic, and like Gen 2 they’re longer due to the Kanto second half. Obviously you know the story for those.

Gen 5: I liked Black and White a lot, it has one of the most memorable villains in Pokémon. I never played Black/White 2, but I hear they’re even better. My main reasons for suggesting Platinum over these are the champion fight and my personal preference.

Gen 6: X and Y are the first games on the 3DS, and the first games to introduce the Fairy Type. From here on each game has a battle gimmick, in this case it’s Mega Evolution. Certain Pokémon can Mega Evolve in a battle. Boosting their stats, giving them new abilities and sometimes changing their type. Mega Evolution is generally remembered as the best of the battle gimmicks. To be honest I don’t remember the story to these ones much, but I don’t remember disliking it.

Gen 7: Sun and Moon were the first Pokémon games I disliked, and the only one I played at the time and didn’t finish. I found the characters annoying, thought it was too easy, and at the time didn’t enjoy the changes to the Gym system. Also possible part of it is just that I was a moody teenager at the time. Ultra Sun and Moon are apparently significantly better and are very popular, but I haven’t played them so I can’t say. I believe Gen 7 also has the Mega Evolution system.

Gen 8: Sword and Shield are… okay. The better of the main Switch games, but I can’t say they were my favorite. Not a good challenge, I found most of the characters kind of annoying, although a couple of the gym leaders are pretty good. The gyms are mostly giant stadiums instead of small buildings, which is fun. The gimmick in these ones is called Dynamax/Gigantamax, Pokémon get real big because they wanted to show off what the Switch could do. It’s… fine. Not as fun as Mega Evolution. Legends Arceus is also considered a mainline game but it’s veeeery different, I highly enjoyed it though.

Gen 9: Scarlet and Violet are bad. They’re a buggy mess, they run like trash, they’re ugly as sin, they’re easy, they’re boring, and the characters are almost all insufferable.

Certainly. But you should do that before becoming a major party’s nominee for president

$700 a week is enough money to hire a full-time assistant, wtf

I see little reason why you should get multiple attempts. When your pool of potential candidates is 100 million people, there’s very little “improvement” that could be done that would bring you up like, more than a standard deviation in ability. And if there is, you should do that improvement before becoming the major party nominee for president.

Kamala is honestly the most extreme example, she shouldn’t just not be running for president, she should be in prison, both for the numerous war crimes she’s complicit in and for her failure to abide by the 25th amendment and remove an ailing president.

You shouldn’t get multiple attempts at important jobs

There are around 100 million people who are eligible to be president of the United States. Of them, there are only six who have demonstrably proven they are incapable of winning a presidential election.

You have significantly better odds of success if you select a random person through a lottery than allowing any of those six people to run again. They are the only people who have proven they can’t do it. A failed presidential candidate is by definition the least qualified person on earth to be president.

I am more qualified for this job than she is. You are more qualified than she is. 100 million people are more qualified than she is.

This also goes for other big positions, like CEOs of major companies and University Presidents. You get one. If you’re a CEO and good at it, there’s no reason for you to leave the company you’re at. If you’re bad at it, no one should ever allow you anywhere near that seat again because anyone else has a better chance of doing it well.

I think that’s a totally fair point

Main reason I said maybe is I hadn’t thought it through thoroughly and didn’t want to take a stance lol

I do actually think there’s an ethical amount to charge as a landlord, but that amount is significantly less than a mortgage.

Most ethical landlord example: You own a house that you plan to live in later but for some reason can’t currently. You want to rent it out, as un-lived in homes fall apart quickly. You rent it out for a couple hundred dollars a month, enough to cover upkeep and maybe taxes. If you have a mortgage on it, you pay that yourself with your money from working an actual job.

I’ve seen this take so many times, and the most generous explanation I can give them is that they’re very stupid people who don’t understand the concept of equity

And they don’t care how “white” Latinos are either, you could be 100% Spanish, descended fully from colonizers, but if you’re in the US and your last name is Martinez you’re going in the van.

Which is why it’s fucking embarrassing that these kapos exist, on top of being immoral it’s not going to work, you’re never going to be “one of the good ones,” that’s not how this goes, it’s never how it’s gone.

It’s waaaaay easier to rig an election than to stop having elections. People really don’t like it if you stop having elections, at a “storm the presidential palace” level
