    @Albatross There is a reason they're called the REGRESSIVE LEFT.

    You're pretty regressive, and this thread is guaranteed to be locked soon.  I don't mind if people call Right-Wingers racist.  The majority aren't.  Though the vast majority of Leftists as of today are rapidly adhering to authoritarianism and mockery, as well as the ever ending march toward "absolute equality".  But I get to watch them spazz for the next four years.  I'm content.

    Oh, no.  I quoted you both because you're arguing with a legitimately regressive person.  You'll go nowhere.  It's like trying to move an immovable object--you'll exert effort, but nothing comes to fruition.

    You are approaching conversations with others on a high horse.  You even admitted up above to having no response beyond laughing when someone produces an opinion, and reasoning - instead of refuting it and giving an actual logical argument, you went right toward, "HAHA<continues on>".  We can just use that one quote, you followed onward with insulting their intelligence and advising them to go back to a class on critical thinking, instead of approaching the topic with someone else's viewpoint in mind and trying to see from outside, you went right to, "HAHAHAHA".  Or maybe you did, and immediately discarded it?  

    Regardless - regressive's have a good point to life, funnily enough.  They show people why in the 20th century--they were thrown from helicopters.

    The problem with this theory is that Nintendo can't keep going in the console world with only their current audience. Sure, the 3DS did great, but even that market alone doesn't let them keep competitive as a business. They need to grow their market.
     
    Nintendo fans we can ignore. Why? Because for the most part they're "crack addicts". Nintendo could release a potato for the next gen console, and as long as it runs Mario/Zelda/Kirby/Metroid/Smash the Nintendo fan crowd will, for the most part, be satisfied.
     
    So how do they grow? They need to attract people who aren't Nintendo fangirls/fanboys. How do they do that? They need attractive mainstream titles on their console. They don't need Call of Duty or Titanfall or Dark Souls, but they do need things like sports games, assassin's Creed, Minecraft, and other big draw titles.
     
    Without those things people will look at the $300 price tag and go "There's a game or two that I want for it, but does a game or two really justify buying a $300 console?"
     
    I hear a lot of "the Wii-U flopped because it had shitty marketing", and that's not wrong. But it's one piece of the answer. Even with shitty marketing, the Wii-U could have succeeded if it had word of mouth. There's the problem though. Other than the standard Nintendo titles what is there to suggest a Wii-U for? The Wii-U has very few really good titles outside of "kiddy" games like Mario and Zelda. Xenoblade Chronicles is pretty much the only game I heard any chatter about outside of the Nintendo fan crowd. Why? Because it turns heads. It doesn't look like a Nintendo title. It's cartoony but not in a childish way, and it doesn't have that "Nintendo is for kids" association tacked onto it because of that.
     
    Tl;dr: If Nintendo wants to grow their market and appeal to more than fangirls and fanboys, they need to get some more "modern" titles on their system to appeal to more casual gamers.

    My point is that the people who created our government system knew leagues more than we do and we should allow it to work as intended, not change it. The system is fine, what needs to change is the people being run through it.
     
    You have a problem with the people running the country? Change it. Raise your kids to have a greater respect for history and education, teach them to be kind and help out in your community.
     
    Don't change what works, change how you work.

    Okay, seriously, can you stop? I mean, I agree with some of your views here, but you're really not helping your case with the irresponsible way you're arguing. You're acting like a childish moron, and I know you can represent your point of view in a much more intelligent and reasonable manner, so at least offer these guys the respect to do so, even if you don't agree with them. I just don't think this tact of being callously disrespectful is the right thing to do here.

    "I get it when I need it," Trump told "Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace.
    "I'm, like, a smart person. I don't have to be told the same thing in the same words every single day for the next eight years," the president-elect added. "I don't need that. But I do say, 'If something should change, let us know.'"
    Trump emphasized that Vice President-elect Mike Pence was receiving daily briefings.
    "In the meantime, my generals are great — are being briefed. And Mike Pence is being briefed, who is, by the way, one of my very good decisions," Trump said, referring to his decision to pick Pence as his VP. "They're being briefed. And I'm being briefed also."
    "But if they're going to come in and tell me the exact same thing that they tell me — you know, it doesn't change, necessarily. Now, there will be times where it might change. I mean, there will be some very fluid situations. I'll be there not every day, but more than that. But I don't need to be told, Chris, the same thing every day, every morning — same words. 'Sir, nothing has changed. Let's go over it again.' I don't need that."

    Hail Victory :^)

    I'm a formerly Marxist-Atheist.  But do enjoy the mass rapes, murders, terrorist incidents, and the dangers of building Qatari oil-pipelines by wiping out entire stable, albeit Dictatorial governments, and leaving pure Theocratic Anarchy in its place.  It's working -great- so far.

    We're not a democracy for a reason, it promotes mob mentality. That's why someone should be able to win the country rather than a handful of cities who have mob mentality.

    You can pick the kind you want; magnetic or adhesive. Once you have your strips, take your case and open the side panel and use the cable that comes with the kit to attach it to your PSU cables.
     
    Here are some guides if you choose the cablemod strips (which look great):

    Proof or GTFO "sources". I don't want a hack's "he did it" or hear from a source like the CIA who hasn't even released the "damning evidence" who are overwhelming vocal about their negative views on Russia and willingness to cripple whatever relationship we still have.
     
    I don't trust them at all and people who accept this as fact are naive.
