Well, the problem with the glitches I was thinking of was basically:

You have to play a worse version of the game. This was a majora's mask glitch. It relied on a bug that allowed you to "wrong warp" to the Japanese Debug Menu. The problem was basically it required you to increment a hidden index to over 8000. Which crashed the N64 version. The second issue is the debug menu requires the directional pad, which isn't mapped correctly on the Wii version. Which basically meant playing on the Wii U version which has input lag among other issues that make it...not very fun to play when speed running. Basically it doesn't play right.

The other was an RNG glitch in Ocarina of Time. It worked on trying to get a bottle by the deku tree, which allowed you to do a very broken glitch that brought you right to Ganon to fight the final boss. The problem with that one is that it required you to trigger a pickup sequence in a specific way that allowed an enemy to knock you out of it. The only enemy drop that does this is the first deku seed of the game, and the enemies that were found using this method...had a low rate of dropping the deku seed. In theory it was the fastest run at the time, but on it's first showcase it went over the allotted time because the seeds didn't drop correctly until 30m into the run.

So in one case you had to use a version of the game that played awful to increment a hidden table 8000 times. And in another case you had to hope glitch went off without a hitch or you started over. And aside from the drop rate for the second glitch, it could also fail if the deku seed just dropped in the wrong place.

If you haven't, look up Nicole Goodnight once you've seen it. She's the Princess and there's also a run where the team involved did a playthrough with live VA. Fun watch.

...Yes, cause that means the base he is working with to get elected is one he thinks wants to hear this.

If this is what you have to say in N.C. to get elected, I'm really worried about N.C.

I hate to say this man, but assassination is a bigger deal than a murder, cause it does mean someone in a position of power wanted you dead.

All life is sacred, but that doesn't mean the amount of effort taken to snuff it out is equal. Does it make you feel better if you view it from the effort taken and not from the life lost?

To take the impact out of assassination though would just be...bad though? It'd be like saying you should react the same from crime as you do from organized crime. One of them takes considerably more effort both to do and to deal with.

Glitches aren't cheating. They're using knowledge about the game's internal workings. This is how the combo system that became the core of fighting games came about.

Maybe you could argue TAS (tool assisted speedrun), but I've always gathered thats more for proof of concept

And it's probably worth mentioning that glitches still need to be fun. There have been speedrun scenes hurt because the most optimal method made the game less fun to play.

I feel like your last sentence is a pretty big problem that doesn't require a "what else?"

We should be trying to make sports safer for the people being exploited, not less.

...?

If anything an assassination is worse than just being murdered

A democracy cannot work if the will of the people is not enforced. part of that is enforcing the laws that those people have put in place. To argue that someone can be voted in against that is, indeed, undemocratic.

You're looking at the end result and ignoring the process that leads up to it. Given that the main violation was constitutional, the amount of effort needed just to make that into law requires a significant amount of representatives or straight up popularity throughout the country. This is not something that should be lightly brushed aside.

So yes, if they're not eligible, they're not eligible. Because by supporting your stance it is also damning the stance of many others both past and present.

I would also argue you shouldn't find much issue with finding someone you can vote for that hasn't performed the very uncommon crime of treason.

They are not. Quite strictly speaking, the Russian example you gave is an abuse of authority.

You are comparing a silencing of political opponents to someone who has performed the most basic form of treason. Like, there are no countries where Trumps situation would not be worse for what he has been recorded doing.

You are blatantly trying to tie together things to support someone who is cut and dry a traitor to the people of the country, not just it's government, and has already been noted on many accounts that he will disrupt the democracy in the country if elected.

If you want to keep dying on this hill, I'll probably just block you because this is a waste of time. Because you're not here to have a discussion, you're here to find people who don't understand these basic concepts that you can potentially sway to your side. In other words you're a waste of time to argue with, you decided from the outgo what your stance was.

Well when you establish democracy after you've already destroyed the entire foundation of it, it makes it a lot easier to get the results you want.

Exactly why the insurrection was kindof an issue.

Pretty bad faith to argue North Korea though, like there aren't a lot of other things with the situation that make it massively different from whats happening here.

Yes, I think the main issue is (sadly), I don't think we have an option that actually wants to stop the genocide. It would likely need to be handled by something other than elections, like larger protests.

It's regulated democracy.

It turns out that if you don't regulate things to some extent, humans exploit them. Who would've thought huh?

Plus, did you forget what the insurrection was about? You don't get much more undemocratic than trying to flatout deny the results of the democratic process.

In one case you have a democracy with defenses against corruption (imperfect but still present), in the other case you have something that is just flatout not democracy in any definition of the word.

I mean, when you violate one of the few laws above all the branches that is regarding whether you're allowed to be elected....

Kaguya opening 1 (Love Dramatic) for it's smoothness

One Piece Opening 13 (One Day), it has a very "complete" feeling for how encompassing the arc is

Gundam Wing Opening 2 (Rhythm Emotion), is basically what made me enjoy music as a kid

Full Metal Alchemist (OG) opening 2 (Ready Steady Go) . It's got so much energy

Yu-gi-oh opening zero (Kawaita Sakebi). For some reason it's become so iconic that I think it's more well known than the openings for the mainline series (I blame abridged but I remember listening to it before abridged came out)

Votes matter but you also have a system in place, and if you're necking the 50/50 vote point expect that system to matter. Going to lala land and imagining a system that isn't how your system actually works doesn't fix anything.

Get more people to vote
Discourage 3rd party bait picks that will never get elected because they don't even have a local/state/anything presence
As an added bonus, you'd probably need to get people more interested in house/senate elections if you actually wanted to do anything about the electoral college. Cause it's not being changed at the presidential level.

He barely lost the popular vote, and in the end the electoral college decides. It's complete denial to act like it was a landslide. Even if you agree the electoral college is problematic it was a bad election.

If you don't want to think about the electoral college, the popular vote has to be a landslide, not what it was in 2016.

You can even look it up and this isn't even the first time this has happened. it's the 4th time. It doesn't even get the most blatant discrepancy

Keep in mind that you are an experienced user of linux.

This site is probably about people who are both inexperienced, and also may not have time to adequately learn the system the way you have.

And no, as someone who has gone through Fedora, Mint, and Arch, saying they're for "everyone" just assumes everyone is going to use linux the same way you do. Which is a huge mistake. Arch didn't even have a normal installer up until a year ago, the process even with the arch wiki guide is completely unwieldy for most users to do. Many distros disable popular codecs by default, which a lot of users wouldn't have the patience for. Some will have Nvidia drivers for up to date for gaming, and some won't.

And most of all, you're also running new users into the choice dilemma, where there's so many options they just won't know what to pick.

So...what, when Toonami ended for the first time?

It kindof starts to snag in the GCN/PS2 era. Smash Bros Melee never gets to an adequate point for me, and Soul calibur 2 usually is fuzzy with slowdown on the windmill-esque level.

I don't think I was able to get soul calibur 3 to work too well. The dreamcast version of PSO is much smoother than the GCN version, though GCN version is generally good enough.

Dreamcast/N64/Playstation era I'd say is the sweet spot where games aren't going to have many issues that they wouldn't have elsewhere.
