That is the single most hateful and clueless post I ever read on here.

Many historical experts, even Americans involved agree in retrospect, not only was throwing these atom bombs on japan a horrible tragedy, murdering thousands of innocent civilians - but it was contrary to your ignorant statement not warranted at all, as Japan was on the brink of capitulation either way and it was a barbaric act.

What's next, are you going to say something about the third reich also disguised as 'unpopular opinion'?
I love how my defending the bombing of Imperial Japan (you know a nazi ally) is somehow me being a nazi.

The Japanese were cruel and barbaric and not dropping those bombs would only prolong the war and lead to even more deaths. Nuclear deterrence also needed to be established, and those attacks worked as a proof of concept and lead to decades of peace under M.A.D theory.

And let's not pretend it was a random attack. The USA gave plenty enough warning.

I love Subway breakfasts; back when I used to actually go to university, I tried my best to grab one. Bacon & egg footlong, Italian Herbs & Cheese bread, toasted, with Old English cheese and Thousand Island sauce. Avocado's a nice optional additive.
Now, I like to have one delivered before my first online class starts every Monday morning.

After breakfast, though...eeeeh. Not really; nothing nice. Wish they did all-day breakfasts, like McDonalds changed to a couple years back, but they don't.

Pornography (as in pictures/videos of real people with no clothes) is a serious issue in today's society and should not be ignored. It changes the way men treat women and leads to false outlooks on relationships and sexual behavior. It is also (from experience) extremely hard to quit, requiring more frequent or vulgar videos to keep the same high.

How about "changes the way women treat men"? Shouldn't be solely laid at men's feet; we're not the only ones who might be attracted to pornography.
Just like how men shouldn't be the default abuser.

I haven't heard of pornography being as big of an issue for women but I can agree with that. Either way it's hurting a lot of people.

Getting angry at people using slurs without bad intentions only gives more power to people who actually have bad intentions

American cheese is really bad and I don't know how any establishment that puts it on their food makes money.

I feel it's better to just inform them of their mistake, and make it calm and concise.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
