Here No Longer

Frankly conditional love isn't love at all, at least in my opinion.  I'm not going to stop loving my boyfriend, hypothetically, just because he has doesn't have enough money, we don't do quite enough you know what, or he decides to do something with his life that I wish he didn't. Even if we had to break up I wouldn't stop loving him.

Yeah this is totally insane, and it bothered me in school too. Especially considering most of the time it's literally ONE person that causes the teacher to decide to do this stupid s***. What's even dumber is that the whole point of a punishment is for it to dissuade people from doing something directly. This whole punishment totally goes against this by lessening and lessening the meaning of itself by its over-enforcement.

viktor is S tier with his old appearance

new appearance is a strong F

I honestly think the way he looks now is actually better, though I wish they didn't do it anyways. It doesn't fit his voice whatsoever.

As a California boi, I definitely agree with said state being at le bottom.

There are VERY few things I like about the state.

I say Washington is the better California TBH.

I'm not American, but I approve of the placement of Washington .

Well, I was born there, and spent my first 11 years of my life there, so I may have a little bit of a bias.

Alabama: Am I a joke to you?

America, Canada and half the U.K.: Yes. 

I mean they kind of are a backwards, hickish joke.  That's been proven to be the case in recent days.

Alabama y'all ain't alone. Floridians feel your pain. Two most hated states in the US gotta stick together! 

Literally everyone where I've come from HATES California with a burning passion, though.

I did rate Texas 31st and I live there. Honestly I'm surprised Texas ended up so high.

My state of New York is pretty low on this scale, lol. What are your reasons for that?

I don't like New York in a political sense, mostly. I don't like how it's basically the more conservative and less drought-ridden version of California, or at least how I see it. 

New Jersey is still worse though.

Yep. I hate all that crud too. Seriously, it drives me crazy every time I hear the word millennial used as an insult. We shouldn't be comparing generations to each other anyways, it's downright idiotic. We should just evaluate people on a person by person basis. With crud like this everywhere, I'm surprised I have no grey hairs growing in yet. 

Let's just nuke ourselves while we're at it if that's how we want to treat terrorists. Sorry to tell you, but by the ACTUAL definition of terrorism, the US Government is the world's largest terrorist organization...

Well... yeah. Sounds like high school, for sure.

*scratches head*

This kind of thing is initially what turned me off to anime... These kind of overly cringy anime fans (they don't even get the honor of being called wannabe weebs) really made me not really want to watch anime. But at the same time, my crush in high school was obsessed with anime so I still really, REALLY wanted to watch some, so maybe I could talk to him instead of poking him . He was obsessed with it to the point that he made a list of anime pages long to watch, and he went through at least a couple of pages of it by the time he got out of high school. From stuff like Sword Art Online and Black Butler to stuff so obscure I had no idea what he was even talking about.

Waluigi is number one! WAHH-HEY!!!!

I agree with most of this, but I don't entirely agree on the LGBT representation part. Yes it is better to make it have lore relevance, yes. But I don't really think it's necessary. I really liked the way Overwatch handled Soldier: 76 on this note, even though half of the community complained and whined about it (which made it even better). It was just sort of woven in, that he had an ex-boyfriend years ago, and it's really left at that. That's good because they didn't DIVE into ALL of the details and they really just spelled it out and also told a touching story all the same. At least it wasn't handled like Fernando from Paladins where it was randomly dropped in that "yeah he's gay." It doesn't offend me whatsoever, but they should have elaborated a little bit more. But of course Hi-Rez can't do f***ing lore worth a s*** so... I guess it's not bad considering that. Though I can understand the idea of it getting to be pandering, I've yet to see real examples of it yet. I may not know about Apex Legends so I don't really understand the situation there.

 @Black Sabbath also has a good point here, sort of. I think that it can get to be pandering if there are too many for no apparent reason and it's beyond representative of the real percentage in the population (somewhere around 8.5% last I remembered). Nonetheless, the "elaboration" I'm talking about with Fernando doesn't need to be long. It only needs to be a little tidbit that makes it understandable why the character was written to be LGBT. It doesn't need to be an event important to the game's lore or even one that has much relevance to it. Just a little bit of a story behind it, a little bit that makes there be even a small amount of importance to the character's backstory. Heck, I think the way it was handled with Doctor Samuels from Borderlands 2 was enough, when Handsome Jack brought up her wife when forcing her to conduct Eridium experiments on people.

I 100% agree. This NEVER made any sense to me either. The whole idea that boys shouldn't like pink is ridiculous. I mean I'm biologically male and pink and red are my favorite colors... The whole sexist color labeling is downright moronic and needs to stop (Yes it IS sexist! TOWARDS EVERYONE!).

Updated to be more accurate as of now.

Hmm, I wasn't aware that there was going to be a new Borderlands game. I was thinking of getting the first one for PC, when I have enough  money.

It's likely going to release later this year, and it's supposedly getting revealed next month. I've become a bit of a fan of the series recently. Since I started basically playing Borderlands 2 almost exclusively with the fact I don't have my GBA emulator (Not on the computer I play on) or the ability to play Paladins (only way I get on here is either at someone else's house or when I take my Dad's phone). 

The game itself is nearly finished, and is in the process of localization (when they translate the game to other languages). From what I've heard, it sounds like it will not disappoint.

You know, it is not so often that I see people being so consistent with their beliefs, it is something I find lacking among people nowadays. I commend you for being so consistent

That's a nice compliment that I never expected, considering that I offend both the right and the fake left both pretty often, but I guess when I think about it it's because both groups very frequently contradict themselves. The liberals of the fake left constantly manipulate the first and second amendments so they don't get their feelings hurt and they hate guns, while the far right constantly acts like they love the constitution, but they keep supporting things in complete violation of the principles behind it, because "America" or something. I'm pretty sure the bill of rights is more than just a guideline.

I really didn't expect this from you personally after slamming Trump for the train wreck of a president that he's been. It shows a level of maturity that I don't see often discussing politics any more. Usually what happens is that somebody else gets their underwear in a wad and bashes me whenever I say anything. Whether it be my fringe right father that acts like he hates Alex Jones but believes in the exact same things he does, or a specific group of people on here that attack me because they don't like what I have to say, even though I agree with them on more than they want to believe I do...

But is that really the case here? It's just teaching kids to be nice towards each other. 

So? It's still "being made to think a certain way". 

Yes, it is the case here. You're teaching kids to accept homosexuality. That's a little different than tolerating it.

Not really, no. It's just telling them not to do something that they shouldn't be doing.

Just now, Sun Wukong said:

I don't really see the issue. 

I mean, don't schools already make "people think a certain way" by teaching kids things like it's wrong to bully others?  

So you don't see the issue with the concept that you aren't able to think what you want? Go to China then and see how you like it there.

That's because it is wrong. There's a serious difference between setting boundaries and forcing beliefs on other people.

"until they force pro-gay propaganda down the throats of elementary school kids"

Just out of curiosity, what exactly do you think pro-gay propaganda is?

Pro-gay propaganda is propaganda that's sole purpose is to make people believe they have to support gay rights. Even being LGBT myself, I have to say that nobody should have to be. It's kind of against the idea of democracy to make people think a certain way.

1. It can work if it has to. I had an ex from all the way in Michigan and it worked well for an entire year, and only really fell apart because we sort of went our own ways after a while. Though I think it would be a bit difficult with somebody from another country. Personally, I would PREFER if I could find somebody who lives within a 3 hours drive from me, but I know that I'm freaking weird and most men don't like men anyways, so I feel like it would be highly unlikely.
2. MtF could be a little bit awkward, considering I'm sort of struggling with my gender personally, however, I think it can work. 
3. I'm assuming you're asking if it matters who he would have on the side. My answer is that it probably should be okay as long as it isn't too close of a friend of related to the other partner. Otherwise, I'd also say that it can get too far when they're having sex with 5 or 6 other people, and I'd also like to know WHO they are. Also I think that dating is a little too far also, but to be fair it can be hard to tell when it gets too far. But the whole premise is just to not get too jealous.

I'm pretty curious to see how Pikachu will fare out if that's the case. There always seems to be that one broken character in each Smash.

I was disappointed that Dedede sucked in Smash 4, but to know that he's even worse is pretty lame to me, lol. I'll still play as him, but I missed him back in Brawl. He wasn't broken, but he was pretty decent then + his Side B and Final Smash were stupidly fun to use. I'm probably looking into K. Rool or Snake if Dedede really does suck badly in Ultimate.

He's always been a pretty strong character, but honestly, he's going to be even stronger than freaking Bayonetta to be honest. Sure Bayonetta is still going to just be downright stupid, but Pikachu just has so much speed, so much damage, and an insanely good recovery, which is looking to be pretty important in Ultimate as well.

King K. Rool and Snake both sound like solid substitutes for Dedede. K. Rool might be an easier character to learn, though. I personally intend to main K. Rool, so I may be biased After seeing the first gameplay of him I immediately knew I found at least a secondary character. He's a heavier version of everything I wanted out of Yoshi (My Smash 4 main). Solid combo game, multitudes of options, and plenty of kill potential. Also not top tier (although I nonetheless intend to abuse Young Link from time to time).

I can't believe that my least favourite fighter (pikachu) is amazing and my main (dedede) sucks in this game, lol

Pikachu got buffed a lot... Basically he's going to be the new Melee Fox, basically a lightweight fighter that can easily chip at health pools while also dodging literally everything with his new dash. As for Dedede, he was also pretty terrible in Smash 4, though if anything since the buffing of other heavies and the introduction of K. Rool, he's only getting worse in the Smash Ultimate meta. His frame data is so bad even compared to other heavies, and he still is going to retain a lot of his issues with ending lag. 

I've figured out my roster, sans DLC characters.

Mains: King K. Rool, Yoshi (Having more than one main is a thing, right?)

Secondaries: Ike (my brother's main ), Young Link, Wolf (Wolf is better than I thought...), Ness

Samus isn't on here because Samus kind of sucks. Even though Dark Samus is better, it's so little that it isn't even noticeable, so there's no point. If only Samus were  higher than Low tier then I would consider her. Also, I might consider Pit after his recent buffs, because aerial combos kill way too early, and his forward throw is broken.
