Pretty much what they accuse Communists of doing

It feels like a love letter to early 2000’s 4kids anime. The cheesy dialogue, hammy voice acting, buttmetal music. The early volumes were my favorite because they didn’t take themselves too seriously and were mostly an excuse to show off the unique fight choreography.

My issues with it are the same I have with the Harry Potter series. The mood change to grimdark and the world being big but unexplored. the world being unexplored lends itself to good fan fiction and fan art though.

I still see gamer references to that one journalist sucking at cup head. If I remember he wasn’t even a gaming journalist but an electronics journalist who ended up praising the game anyway.

How much power do they have over Khameni? My understanding was that he holds most of the executive power.

Mr. The 2019 coup in Bolivia wasn’t a coup.

There’s a video similar to this of an older white guy approaching a black teenager walking his dog. It turns into a shouting match and the teenager shoves the man so far he almost fell into the lake.

There’s been a lot of pit bull controversy in my area lately. The local indigenous group has been hunting them down after strays killed two kids and an old man from their community. Seems to keep the teenage boys occupied.

People get them thinking they’re badass and don’t bother training them. They can be very stubborn breeds, as most terriers are. And then the idiots just let them maul people’s pets and act shocked when the fucking things get shot or maced in response.

They’re also very popular with chuds here.

I’m a huge sucker for JRPG’s. One of the first emulators I had was a SNES one that was stuffed with JRPG’s. I spent hours playing them over and over. I still get a weird tinge of nostalgia when I hear sounds from Chrono Trigger

So I guess rwby is back on Viz. my pipe dream was of Sega getting the rights but I guess I’ll check in and see if viz does any better than rooster teeth

Tbh I hope it does improve. I have a soft spot for the series and follow it here and there to check up on how it’s doing like an old friend. I’m not completely in the camp that says Monty era was peak. The series has ranged from rough to somewhat okay to surprisingly good for most of its existence.

Maybe I just like the idea of rwby more than the execution of it. Sorry for rambling lol

Edit: but yeah Kerry Shawcross should go

She’s borderline NATO-leftist. Has some based takes but then falls for the Ukraine and Xinjiang propaganda.

Probably wishful thinking from people who think she’ll be another Obama.

These people love to accuse others of having a simplistic worldview when they can only view geopolitical conflicts as good vs. evil.

This is from a "leftist" sub. This same user then says they're muslim and that everybody objecting to their take doesn't understand politics and is an edgy teenage tankie larper.

I'm fucking done with NATO leftists on these subs and sticking to TheDeprogram and SLS before I give myself an aneurysm

It seems that this is an attempt to gain favor with Latin American countries as they move more towards China. I have a feeling this is going to go the usual way of American-led incompetence by giving the private sector too much control and having every project take forever to complete.

Also to note that the biggest America worshipping countries joined this little forum while pledging themselves to their lord.

One of my childhood friends is finding himself in a tough situation. He's autistic and has struggled to make decent money for most of his life. He recently got a job working as a dishwasher while looking for a trade to get into.

His parents are when the issues kick in. They charge him rent (he's 31 btw) that's currently only $107. They used to charge him $300 back in 2014 and would have it go up by $50 every year to the point he was paying $600 before Covid hit. He still had to pay rent while in school and his parents refused to stop it during that time. The majority of his unemployment checks during Covid went into their rent.

They decided to change things by having him go on foodstamps in order to reduce his rent. He spends maybe $20 a week at the most for food because he's never been a big eater. Most of that foodstamp money goes to his parents who use it for groceries, including his. The thing is that they spend way more than he ever does and completely max out the card every month.

He's been under stress lately because he has to re-certify but his new job has a schedule that's all over the place and makes it so he keeps missing the calls when they happen. His parents insist that part of this process is to help him with his Autism and "become an adult." The stress got so bad for him with all the missed calls that he threw his hands up and decided to just not re-certify because it was adding too much stress in his life. His parents responded angrily by saying he would then "owe" them money in the form of $250 a month plus the $174 he already owes from a loan he took out five years ago.

The big kicker is that they're a pretty wealthy family living in a very wealthy part of Upstate New York, but they leech off what little money he has like vultures. The whole rent thing is said to be helping him with his Autism to become more self-sufficient but if anything it's made him more financially dependent on them than anything.

I know this was more of a rant than anything, but it's been difficult listening to this for years now and seeing him still stuck living with them. It's pretty clear to me that he's scared of moving out of their nice house and living in some sketchy apartment without a car because he can't afford one. I'm just not sure what else there is to do because I'm not living in the US and am unfamiliar with how social services work there.

Is there a way for him to get out and not be living on the edge of poverty?

This is in response to a post on Hasans subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Hasan_Piker/comments/174i8qt/libs_be_like/

Vaushites and Destiny fans are brigading like crazy and leaving behind their State Department logic.

Kind of a weird zinger. I thought leftists were stereotyped to be sex-driven heathens?

Any Baseball fans? (hexbear.net)

I've recently started to become interested in the sport, but find all the rules and stats a little overwhelming. Is there a way to ease yourself into the sport? Does understanding all those stats contribute to understanding the game?
