Which are two countries choosing to let in more refugees because they so wish, not because they're forced to do so by the EU.

The one where a single German city (not even the German federal government, let alone the EU) gave a women almost a year forewarning and ample aid in finding a new residence when they legally ended her renting contract to live in a city-owned complex that was to be converted into a center?
Quote
Because the above just screams that the EU will order British citizens to leave their homes and make way for refugees tomorrow. Also, you are aware that the EU is probably the best thing we have against "mass immigration" and that the UK has been entirely free not to take part in the main relocation scheme, right?
So the EU pushing for more open immigration is just a boogeyman made by Brexitors? I know people like to wrongly paint UKIP and Nigel as racists but come on.


Quote
Or you know, maybe there actually exists good reason to assume that leaving the EU will be detrimental for the UK and its citizens.
Clearly whatever good comes from the EU is vastly overshadowed by what the citizens who want out are complaining about and with a 50/50 split on the issue it's not as black and white as "Brexit is going to ruin this country!". There clearly isn't a "light at the end of the tunnel" in the EU with how dysfunctional it is, at least not any time soon. And to say it's not dysfunctional would be silly, especially when just having a vote to leave had to go through so much bureaucratic bullshit, being a part of the EU shouldn't be a gunpoint decision.

If anyone's autistic it's Thunda for making a thread like this just to bleed out of the crotch over literally nothing.

absolutely terrible examples but i'm not gonna change your autistic behavior so whatever

You can get that in the bottom of the post, it's literally right under my most recent comment like I have it set up with this comment. Some new user can come in and get the context of my post immediately by either reading your comment and then mine or reading what's below mine. And under that logic, people should be flipping out for not making entire quote trees that can go back as far as possible so we can see "the whole picture" of discussion, but we don't do that for obvious reasons, this is literally a non-issue.

because if i'm just scrolling through a thread and reading each post, it's better to know who/what you're responding to first so that i can get the context of your response

Well I do find it humorous how butthurt people get over it, it's more to do with the fact that (like Achronos mentioned on B.old) you're only interested in the response so why do you need to see this fluff above the most recent comment in the discussion? That and the fact that emails work in a similar manner and while I don't have as much as email as Achronos probably has/had I still use it enough to warrant making my postings somewhat uniform.

It really is asinine, but I'm pretty sure he only does it because he knows it bothers people.

I'm more hurt by the fact that you still call me Gaara.

Also, you don't need to see everything you just wrote. You already know what you posted and you're only interested in my response so why does it matter other than triggering your anal ass about posting style? Also don't try me Luciana, I triple dog dare you, I'll just reedit the post and fix the quotes back to the way I had it originally. And I know how to play forum wars of attrition like this, I once deleted and reposted a post on r/FFXIV ten times in one day because people kept downvoting it unjustly and I kept it up until they finally stopped downvoting me.

Knock it off Gaara

Not worth it

Aye, working at Lost And Found at Disney I see some pretty interesting stuff; like a backpack filled with use condoms one time, dropped off by one of the resorts because they didn't want anything to do with it. And with this experience in hand I knew this was going to be an awkward call, I should have just used their live chat....

i've seen a lot worse

Just had to call Square Enix support because I couldn't login into PlayOnline. Had to give the guy my Square Enix account username "TheFriskyIan".......

Remember folks, when coming up with a username, think about how you might need to give it to somebody in account support over the phone. I could literally hear him holding in laughing. Well at least I get to go back to playing FFXI....

Moderate migration is one thing, but Psy has hit the nail on the head when it comes to what REAL UK Citizens are bothered about in terms of migration. And that's mass migration of a group of people that have no real interest to assimilate. When the UK looks at countries like Germany and France who bend over backwards for these people (I don't think anyone needs to link the woman kicked out of her apartment in Germany story again) and are expected to do the same, of course they want to abandon a sinking ship.

That and coupled with the slightly smaller issues that the EU has rustled the wrong way with the UK like having to carry other countries on their back economically *cough*cough*Greece*cough*, and kind of going back to migration scene with their repeated agenda of making Nationalism the new Nazism and WRONGLY. Once again, your independence as a country comes before unneeded overreach. As for the aggressive Russia, you can be a well defended Europe from foreign threats without losing your national identity, something the EU just doesn't get.

The only light at the end of the tunnel is the metaphorical exit out. The foreign powers that want the UK to stay have zero interest in what the UK citizens want and simply wish to keep the UK in just to benefit themselves. The notion that the UK will somehow be weaker without the EU constantly throttling them is trying to keep the UK citizens from voting what they want out of fear.

That's great news! Do you think my wife's son will be able to play with your child? He's been very anti-social ever since his dad bought him an Xbox.

I still chuck a smile when he went ballistic on the Star Wars Holiday Special.

It's been awhile since James has made a quality video.

Hearing him use the word "cringe" makes me giddy.

What if the difficulty of a game is admitted to be too difficult by its own creators?

Naoki Yoshida admitted in a Live Letter for FFXIV that the difficulty for Alexander Savage was overtuned too much and the development team made an error on the difficulty scaling for the fights. They were still beatable, but they claimed that it was still too difficult from what they had intended and group clear rates reflected that, and the groups that did clear have to "cheat" the game's server and timing system.

Quote
1. Difficulty.

We've all heard this one. "This game is too hard!" Generally, no--you just kinda suck at it, and need to get better. Games are kinda meant to be challenging, and blaming the game itself for your own incompetence is just kinda lame. There are times when a game's difficulty can be based off of luck/chance/RNG bullshit, and those are valid complaints--but that's separate from difficulty in my eyes. RNG is not a test of player's skill--it's a lottery, so you can't really expect to conquer it. If there's a boss that you can't beat, though, then chances are, it's your fault.

Reminder: You are NOT a misogynist just because you refuse to watch a bad movie that is bound to flop by the laws of physics.

YouTube


Lately the cries of "Misogyny" have become more and more unbearable as of late. The trailer looked like shit, the CGI was awful, the jokes were cringey, and ultimately it failed to entice people to go see the movie. Just because a movie has a bad trailer doesn't mean it's shit, but it DOES hurt the movie's view since it's supposed to show what to expect, and this new Ghostbusters certainly left a bad taste in everyone's mouth.

James here tells it how it is, this movie is going to flop and it's going to flop on the fact it is a cheap cash grab and no amount of snobby SJW critic bitching is going to stop the inevitable trainwreck that is 2016 Ghostbusters.

The UK is very split on staying. It's pretty much 50/50. It's clear there's a good majority of people that don't want to stay and their line of thinking is no longer being shit on.

It'll remain with the EU

You guys get to vote in just over a month on whether or not you want to leave the EU.

You guys can do it, I believe in you. The UK will make The Great Escape. I sincerely hope none of you are fed lies into believing the EU is somehow beneficial to you.

Unnecessary overreach does not trump your independence.

I never understood entry level positions demanding someone have entry level experience. I mean, yeah I know, having someone who already knows how to work a register is nice, but honestly it's brain dead easy and only requires like half a day of training if that.

Personally I'm glad the McDonald's on Vine Street never hired me and chose some black kid to meet their diversity quota. I got an infinitely better job and looks way better on a resume.

Eww no.

My brother did and was a self proclaimed Atheist for a while, although it was a typical fedora-tipping fad and he grew out of it fast. Tried to tell me not to touch his fedora because they were "expensive" hats, so glad he came to his senses now.
