Re: The Walls Come Down: No Travel Betwen US and Europe for 30 Days
No, more like you're bringing up irrelevant stuff dipshit. I brought up Western incompetence when dealing with the coronavirus to compare to the Chinese response, and your first instinct is to bring up Tiananmen which has nothing to do with how the Chinese responded to the pandemic. :lol: Citing pr...

Okay
So people that I didn't defend did things wrong that I also didn't defend
You've refuted absolutely nothing so concession accepted I guess? :^)

Re: ff7 Remake (With Screenshots)
I've played through the whole thing and I like it quite a bit, most of it anyway. Some of the fighty can be a pain in the ass. I don't think putting elemental on a weapon helps stagger at all and highly mobile enemies will just not get hit with Ice. And the ending is uh. I'm really not sure what to ...

Re: The Doctor in Infinity War/Endgame.
Pretty sure that scenario two results in The Doctor turning his considerable intellect into destroying Thanos without much in the way of mercy or pity.

Re: Avengers: Endgame release thread (spoilers)
The stones being 'destroyed' means just as Thanos said: They've been reduced to atoms. So they're still THERE but utilizing them in the same way that he had done is more or less impossible, or so the theory goes. I think that one was even confirmed by the Russo brothers. I really wonder how differen...

Re: House Ways and Means Committee formally demands IRS turn over six years of Trump's tax returns.
I don't know if I would even call that 100% clear evidence, because correlation is not causation, but I can see the point. And this is a question of curiosity, at one point does one stop scrutinizing Trump's actions in office against his business holdings? Even if he had put his business into a trus...

Re: House Ways and Means Committee formally demands IRS turn over six years of Trump's tax returns.
I believe not de-vesting himself of his business interests is a serious crime for the POTUS. Businesses he is/was associated with directly benefiting from his actions or decisions would also be a serious problem. IANAL, but what I've read on the subject suggests thats not actually the case. POTUS d...

Re: Avenatti arrested for fraud, attempted extortion
I mean, Avenatti DOES represent one of the single best cases for 'the left makes shit up' a lot and calling that out is entirely fair game But his faking an affidavit for his client should be taken with the understanding that he himself is a glory hound and overall kind of a doucebag. It should also...

As a side point - no matter the cost, the alternative is destruction, right? Idiots who keep applying capitalist logic to a fundamental problem will inevitably fail to grasp that this is not a matter of „costs“.

Re: Selfish, egotistical asshole plans to hand 2020 to Trump on silver platter (Howard Schultz considering independent b
Many of Trump's actions, allies and policy goals are fascistic. Therefore, if someone votes for Donald Trump, they are either a) a fascist, b) they have no objection to putting fascists in high office and enabling fascist policy in order to achieve whatever it is they hope to get out of Trump's pre...

And a split over policy, or an ugly primary, could be exacerbated by Schultz, as I ...

What makes you think Schultz out of anyone would be the one to split the democratic vote? I'm almost more worried about a split developing just in the name of policy alone or a rocky campaign on the same. A lot of it is going to shake down on whether or not the GND ends up being a complete shitshow ...
