Yeah, giving the link is a good idea, just in case if I missed something and jumped to conclusions:
https://twitter.com/RobynVinter/status/753613992149585920

You click on the specific tweet and scroll down a little bit to see how people responded. *Language warning.*
On one hand, a lot of the responses people are giving aren't anything to be proud of.

On the other hand,

As soon as I see an anime girl avatar in my mentions *BANG* blocked. There may be some casualties since I don't really read the tweets

There's something about the way she treats others that rather rubs me the wrong way.

And reading the actual article, the sad part is that people seem to just be trying to socialize with her, and she automatically defaults to thinking they're trying to take advantage of her and goes so far as to judge them for existing.

She just seems. . .unfriendly.

Very objective analysis! I don't think I could've put it better. Nicely done.

So my state's governor is going to be Trump's Vice President.
What a disgrace to my state to back such a corrupt man. Does sooooo much good for our image.
Good thing I'm not old enough to vote. Because Hillary isn't much better either.

Disclaimer: I am neither solely Rebulican or solely Democratic. If I could vote, I would vote for who I think would be best as president.

In lighter news, I hatched a Scyther in Pokemon GO!. With two Bug-type moves, it will be amazing against all of those gyms claimed by Hypnos.

Star Fox Zero + Guard demo is out on the Wii U eShop.

Should be good for those who are still unsure like me.

So I need some help. I'm taking an english course for school and we need to write persuasive letters to make a change in the workplace. I chose implementing a work program that teaches new skills to incoming employees.

It be a 4 week class, meeting 3 days a week, for 3 hours.

Anyone know how I could go about pricing out the cost of it? The idea is that the program is free but two experienced workers will be teaching the classes. What would be a good payment price for this?

>Bayonetta only gets one vote

That hurts
Hey, she's fine, it's just that the group of people that spent all prerelease bombarding Kamiya's Twitter and proceeding to likely do the same to the ballot aren't online right now.

I heard she has some more ridiculous weapons than her base set though, so maybe some pictures would boost support? I heard something about gunchucks and chainsaw shoes. :awesome:

Holy crap, the chainsaw shoes.

Best weapon of all time.

Sadly the chainsaws are arms only, though she has flamethrowers and whips available for her feet
EDIT: Salamander isn't arm only? O.O

Really sad to see what happened in France. The amount of nutheads in the world is just insane. Work really needs to be done to prevent these kinds of things. More so in Europe where these things seem to happen every couple of months.
Okay, as weird as it is.

That was uncalled for.
It's true though. These people have laws and regulations that would have been common place a couple of millenniums ago. I don't know anyone in the right mind who would want to live in that area of the world. This is coming from someone of the same ethnicity. Not proud of my race one bit.

I'm not sure why Europe doesn't seem to understand they're enabling these attacks to happen by having the borders as free as they are.

These are becoming more and more common. It's got to stop.

OK, I REALLY need to see this in action but the only thing I can find is the item description itself that proves yes, you can wear the chainsaws as shoes.
Someone find me an image of them equipped to feet if you can.

Germany's actually gotten better security I heard, and this about the France attack, right? Makes me worry as some journalist tested security at our borders. Despite claims of stricter security, there was nothing

Can they legally do that (if legit)? I'm still at level 4 right now so I'm not on a team yet.
I don't know, possibly. They run the business after all. I'm only at 3 but will choose Valor.

It seems like it coudld be real, but I don't know, I just found it online.

Bayonetta for me, obviously.

But Ryu/Pacman are a close second.

My fav weapons are the Whips, Ice Skates, Long Sword and.... Quadriple Swords.

I'm not against immigration and I honestly think the refugees should have a place to go...

But things need to be stricter.

I'm not sure why people think having no borders will solve the issue.

Refugees? They need help, anyone can see that.
People who CLAIM they are refugees can go **** right off. leaving the country because our food isn't spicy enough, demanding free TVs and having goddamn smartphones... I don't care if people will call me racist, if they aren't grateful for anything they never needed help in the first place.
No borders is good for exchanging currency and business, it means we don't have to convert US Dollars and Canadian dollars all the time when traveling. Better security should be a necessity though

Am I the only one who loved these bad boys?
Ice Skates + Shuraba (long sword) was my fav combination in the first game.

Jesus christ. I heard France got attacked, but I didn't know it was this bad. During some festival, someone driving a truck yelled 'allahu ackbar' and ran over as many people as possible. One one hand, this is like the 4th attack on France in a few years, so they need to sort the security out. On the other hand, despite my hatred for the French, I can't help but feel like crap

There is nothing good about extremism for all parties involved.
If that truck driver wasn't scared for life after flattening a dozen people I don't know what to say apart from go to a mental hospital and prison..

I heard people were stuck inside the local cafe's. That's how bad it was outside.

Open borders =/= border security.

The EU is meant to have borders open between member states (for example, Portugal and Spain, or France and Germany), but those don't apply to borders with non-EU members (for example, Greece and Turkey).

The problem in Europe isn't the free borders but the fact that we failed to control the influx of refugees.

While I don't think the idea of helping those refugees in is a bad idea per se (because some of those people are truly desperate for a better place to be than war-torn Syria), there's no denying the risk of terrorists coming among them. (Let's face the facts: some of those refugees are fleeing from the same kind of people we Westerners don't want on our lands. Like running away from a nightmare only to have it come after you.)

There is the problem. We had no security measures or efficient ways of controlling the coming of refugees. We just opened the gate for them and now we're paying the price.

This was one of the motivations behind Brexit, after all.

Of course, leave it to people to take sides on "anti-migrants" or "pro-migrants". Between bigotry and political correctness, there's really no reasonable hope for compromise by now since fear and paranoia are already spreading. (+1 for the terrorists. What joy.)

I have to agree with Cutie Gwen Cutie Gwen in this subject. I mean, an analogy would be inviting guests for your house. Tell me: you wouldn't want your guests to go around, break stuff and generally be some rude pricks, right? You would expect them to meet the hosts' standards and respect the home's ways, yes?

Well, Europe is the host, the refugees are the guests. If they want to be here and be respected, they should also respect our ways and understand this is a different place. Respect is a two way street and failure to understand that is a recipe for disaster.

Except, you know, it's not the "race" that enforces these laws but rather the religion
Having a religious country is gonna lead to things like the Middle East, but some of the people there, whether they agree to it or not, muslim or not, can't do anything about it, because the extremists are a majority
Following a religion isn't a problem, the problem is enforcing it on others

My cousin already got Pokemon GO.

Apparently my hometown is filled with Pokestops, and I live right near a gym.

Good to know.
