My favorite Atlus game is Digital Devil Saga 1&2 but that's not even people's third thought when I say Shin Megami Tensei PS2 era.

I like in the comments someone mentioned that Norm wasn't meant to be in that spot but someone cancelled so they needed him to fill 5 more minutes after his stand-up. He was out of material and quite literally ad-libbed that joke his driver told him.

You know, use of long dash is the same kind of tell as an image having 6 fingers. Not impossible to find in human interactions but generally very rare, especially in online conversation. (I'm not even sure if my phone can do a long dash, just these fellows: ---).

Jokes on them, I've got way too much illegal shit to just hand it to the cloud. Local storage ftw.

Err... that's a joke, of course, haha ha.

We know this isn't going to be some MTG watershed moment but imagine how hilarious it'd be if she had a sort of "oh my God everything I've ever known is a lie, I have to tell someone!" and every single thing she did from here on was somehow rational and progressive.

Again, not how conservative minds work but it'd still be really fucking funny to me.

You said statistically, and Latino men in that country weren't in the majority for Trump. But like I said, if you're really going full statistics, non-voters tend to be the biggest group (just, we don't exactly have exit polls for them, lol)

I used to contribute to Quora when I was in grad school, since I was actually learning a lot of the stuff people wondered about. Between lack of mods and their monetization schemes though, can't do that anymore lol

Reminds me why I stopped going to quora. Do they just not have a way to moderate leading questions? Those people obviously know they're just posting their BS in the form of a question, jeopardy style.

Subbed in any case. Lol

Vote in primaries, find and fundraise better candidates, and so on. It's not going to do much in the short term, but parties have major platform changes every generation.

I wouldn't assume that given his county, so try not to make it a leopard eating face / victim blaming story without evidence.

Plus if you're really thinking statistics, he's likely a non-voter and in CA one could hardly blame him if that was the case (our general election votes literally do not matter).

I like this analogy and generally avoid using GPS (admittedly it's out of laziness lol). The most insane part to me is I live where everything is on a grid and somehow people are still impressed I can figure out how to get places, even without having been there. GPS brain is real.

Heard the recording, guy sounds so Chicano it's so obvious he's from here. Local NPR station covered it a bit, people know they're going to get racially profiled and keep their passports on hand, but even that's not a guarantee.

Sadly it's not even the first time this has happened. It's everytime there's an increased effort by ICE. I think they put it well when they said it's akin to Stop and Frisk laws in NY that caused a lot of racial profiling.
