Glenn's death is on Daryl.
LMAO, literally no difference than "maybe you shouldn't have been rich in the bad part of town"

Glenn's death is 100% on the person who murdered him.

A mad man with a gun tells you not to do something or he will kill you, do you do it?
He's still a murderer and bears all consequence of that,  but you would be kinda stupid to test his word.

Yeah, he's responsible for his actions, but why would you fuck with crazy?Because fucking crazy is hot

If there's one piece of advice that has saved my ass it's "never stick your dick in crazy"
I like to live with my balls on the edge of a razor blade brah

[standard i dont like this sep7agon post]

edit: spidey is my favorite of all time, so im going to see this no matter what
I want it to do well, and I'm going to see it, but that doesn't mean I can't criticize what I've seen. If anything, Spidey being my favorite hero should be the best reason for why I'm critical. I don't just want it to make Sony and Marvel buttloads of cash, I want it to be a good Spiderman movie.

I think it suffers a bit from leaning too hard on the MCU. Feels like half the trailer was Tony Stark. I understand having to reference it since Spidey was in Civil War, but the plot shouldn't revolve around angst toward Iron Man as a father figure.

Food intolerance is shit. I'm extremely sensitive to sugar and carbs but somehow was spared of celiac. Makes no difference in the end, I still can't eat bread or pasta.

No encounters with Celiac in my personal life. Dunno what it is other than basic guesswork based off your descriptions. Dunno if it poses any serious danger or just mild issues.

Asking what to do about it? You know more than I do. If you know the extent of what it poses, but you don't want to see a doc, then just cut out the stuff that's giving you issues for a small time span and see where it goes from there. If it persists then you know you've gotta go visit the doc.
Basically, gluten causes inflammation along the walls of the digestion system and hampers the body's ability to take in nutrients. Inflammation causes issues on its own, such as bloating, nausea, and problems with bowel movement. The nutritional issue can cause stagnation in growth and malnutrition.

Can also cause rashes, irritability, etc. The normal allergy things.

Well fuck gluten then.
This only happens if you have Celiac. Otherwise, gluten is just another wonderful nutrient.

Are we talking ancient greeks, hellenistic greeks, what? Don't think it's fair to group them together considering that they're essentially two different cultures.

So what you're telling me is that you can't drink beer anymore?
Never tended toward beer anyways, whiskey is my jam. And the distillation process inherently makes it gluten-free, so regardless of the reality I can keep drinking it.

Currently nauseous and bloated, trying to figure out why God hates me.

Then I realized the last thing I ate was a peanut butter sandwich on whole wheat and it just clicked. I'm bad about actually eating my wheat based foods, but one of my favorites used to be blackened chicken alfredo even though it always made my stomach upset. Up until now I thought it was the chicken, but I just realized that it was probably the pasta. Besides those revelations, I match most of the symptoms. Celiac is hereditary as well, and I have family (on both sides) that have been diagnosed with it.

The exam for it sounds really uncomfortable though, makes me not want to really get tested. What do?

Now is a good time to talk about it


Do you think we'll have direct tie-ins from Drakengard in this one?
I see some loose references at most. Storywise, everything is so far in the past that anything more than a visual similarity to something from Drakengard would be pretty ham-fisted.

I agree with 98% of the this guy's review. Movie blew chunks. Can only hope that Homecoming is much better.

The problem is paying bills is one hefty thing now



I might just have to start doing cam stuff online for some extra money

So far it's only NA stores so it's like ohfuck

I'll have the money to get it, but we get it three days later iirc
I have a big job in February, so I should be able to pay it off in full then. Just need to remember to place a preorder soon.

And what's even the point of getting it three days late? I can understand a few months for localization/translation, but what's different enough about Europe to justify such a short delay?

The figure in the Black Box edition is fucking shit. Don't waste your money on it.
Not even why I want it.

>OST
>Steelbook with original cover art by Akihiko Yoshida
>Artbook
>A big black box

I'd get a version minus the sculpture if I could, but I can't pass on everything else that comes with it.
The OST you could simply downloaded for free, the steelbook is just pointless, the artbook you can look up online and the black box is pointless as well. You're going to spend almost $200 for a game just to get shit, this game may not even be worth $60 so why risk it?
Because I have every other game in the series and have enjoyed them (to varying extents), and I collect games.

>OST
Physical is better
>Steelbook
Day 1 has reversible art, but this one is kind of shiny and cool to the touch. Me likely.
>Artbook
Physical is better. I plan on buying the Grimoire Weiss as soon as I actually stick to a regime for learning to read nip.
>Box
How dare you. Boxes are the best part of any product! It tells you what you need to know about it in a simple yet stylish manner.

Disappointing that the statue quality isn't great tho. Hard to believe the thing that's probably adding $100 to the price tag is lower quality than the Jotaro one I got in the GEB for $60.

As if I were reading a "For Dummies" book, can you explain to me what Nier is about? I vaugely remember a Nier game out on the last console gen.
From the fractured mind of Yoko Taro, the man behind such games as Fighting Giant Space Babies with Dragons, Fairies, and Pedophiles: Giving Alternate Realities Space Aids Edition and Killing All of My Sisters Because They Want to Sing the World to Death and I Want to Die, enjoy the wonderfully grey world where you forget to save your daughter/sister because you're too busy fishing with a talking book, a girl with not-so-girly features, and a small boy who likes you a little too much and listening to some of the best OSTs of the decade.

Also the two games are completely unrelated, just like every other game in the universe. They take place 8000 years apart iirc.

If people are still fucking around and ejaculating away their lives in meaningless degeneracy, then it's still a bad thing.
And it's not the government's place to decide that.

I'm not ignoring contraceptive measures either, as that supports my argument. We don't have a significant number of people who have unprotected sex then turn around and get abortions because people who don't want kids get UIDs, tube tied/vasectomies, and have protected sex. That is entirely my issue with your argument: this proposition that abortions are bad because it means that people will just have huge orgies of bareback sex. This is the exact opposite of what is happening: people who are aware of how to prevent pregnancies don't get pregnant, and those who want or need to get rid of a pregnancy will do so regardless of its legality.

And as for the vent, yes, if only because society has been historically prudish. But thinking that it means we'll end up in a Brave New World scenario because of it is like saying that the gay marriage ruling in the US means that the pedos and dog-fuckers will be next. Look at the events surrounding it rather than it itself: western responses to regressive cultures, societal warming to non-heterosexual relationships, feminist ideals becoming accepted by western culture, the shrinking number of religious-extremists (sans radical islamists), etc.

It's not like we will all just wake up one day and said, "you know what we need? Nudity at 2pm." Unless some sort of precedent occurs for it, it won't. And I'm sorry, but legal abortions are not affecting that level of promiscuity; referring back to the article in the previous post, abortion rates where it's legal are consistent (if not slightly lower) with those where abortion is prohibited. If banning it won't change the figures anyway, then it can only benefit society by remaining legal; if it happens, at least it's safe.

Gaming / NieR: Automata launches March 7, 2017; Day 1 and Limited Editions!
« on: December 04, 2016, 11:50:24 PM »

Day One Edition has a reversible cover with the original artwork on the inside all of the DLC items included in the Black Box Edition.



Unfortunately for me, the Black Box Edition is priced at $189.99. So either I'll be doing some massive saving (alongside disappointing family for spending so much on a game), or I'll just have to cry myself to sleep on March 6th.

Even if abortions are not specifically being promoted, contraceptives and related things that will inevitably lead to abortions are being promoted. Even if that's not their intention, that is the end result.
My biggest grievance with this is that it is never easy to have an abortion for anyone (Post Abortion Stress Syndrome). Do you think women don't realize that there's a life in their stomach that they're going to snuff out? Nobody gets one on a whim; referring back to my first post, when I mentioned the totally non-absoluteness of protected sex short of being effectively sterilized, many people end up knocked up despite taking precautions.

Even neglecting this, and despite the fact that Roe v. Wade and similar statues exist in other nations, Abortion rates are decreasing. Let me direct you to the points I find most relevant here:

Quote
ā€œThese trends suggest that women and couples in the developed world have become more successful at avoiding unintended pregnanciesā€”the cause of most abortionsā€”over the last two decades,ā€ says Dr. Sedgh, lead author of the study and a principal research scientist at the Guttmacher Institute. ā€œHigh abortion rates are directly correlated to high levels of unmet contraceptive need. Our findings indicate that in many developing regions, women lack the contraceptive services they need and are unable to prevent pregnancies they do not want to have.ā€

When countries were grouped according to their abortion laws, the researchers found no significant difference in abortion rates for 2010ā€“2014 between countries where abortion is legal and where it is restricted. In countries where the procedure was prohibited altogether or permitted only to save a womanā€™s life, the abortion rate was 37 per 1,000, and in countries where it was available on request, the abortion rate was 34 per 1,000.

ā€œEstimates for the proportion of abortions that are unsafe are under development, but it is likely that where access to safe abortion is limited, women may turn to clandestine procedures that are often unsafe. Making greater investments in quality family planning services would help reduce the rates of unintended pregnancy and therefore overall abortion rates,ā€ says Bela Ganatra, a scientist with the World Health Organizationā€™s Department of Reproductive Health and Research and a coauthor of the study. ā€œEnsuring that women and couples have access to a wide range of methods to choose from and receive comprehensive information about how to use their chosen method consistently and correctly is sound public health policy.ā€

To summarize, the people getting abortions (near-regardless of circumstances) do not enjoy it, especially enough to keep "fucking bareback" after having one. Limiting the sound-minded individual's right to terminate an unwanted pregnancy through anti-abortion laws doesn't do a damn thing to "stop the sluts" and only results in greater danger to both the potential mother and the fetus.

Venting space inside
To be honest, this argument itself just seems like a bunch of slippery slope hogwash. "If we allow Tracy to get an abortion, then nobody will use condoms anymore! It'll be absolute anarchy!" The truth is that it fucking won't and never will, because regardless of your insistence that abortion takes a hot dump all over your idea of the nuclear family and traditional life, it can only help those who have no other choice. Taking that option away because of such an outlandish bunch of hogwash says more about who you are as a person than what's actually right.

All the focus on "but what if she's raped? but what if the baby's disabled? but what if x?" Is a deliberate distraction to avoid talking about the fact that when you encourage abortions for everyone, you change the culture to one where sluts are allowed to get away with anything.
I know people who have had to legitimately face the possibility of having abortions for reasons beyond their control; one woman's child was discovered to have a heart tumor that, taken close to (through) term, could have killed the both of them. That would have left her three year old child and husband alone. They actually couldn't have the abortion, funny enough, because my state doesn't allow abortions for any reason past a certain point, and the insurance wouldn't have covered the procedure if they went out of state. Luckily she and child both survived.

This idea that literally the only people that have abortions, or might have abortions, are a bunch of airhead sluts who just want to fuck without repercussions pisses me off a bit, to say the least. Nobody is fucking encouraging abortions (well, except Verb), it just shouldn't be left up to a seventy year-old congressman to decide when or if it's okay to terminate a pregnancy.
