What do a 17 year old and a 38 year old even talk about when conversing in a romantic relationship? Getting her grades up or else no car privelages for the rest of the semester?

I don't know, you tell me. You are the one posting on a forum full of "adults" that love Bluey, comic books, fast food, ect.

free palestine and don't date 17 year olds in your 30s

Duke University chose Jerry Seinfeld to be their 2024 commencement speaker and multiple news outlets reported that Duke University students walked out of the commencement ceremony due to Seinfeld's support of Israel:

“How the Jew dares to support Israel?”

She is pretty enough and ... well the obvious, but she is an average one note actress at best.

I like ERA because I learn new things everyday. For instance, today I learned that mental health doesn't matter once you reach a certain wealth. /s Seriously, do fucking better than those disgusting posts, folks.

What would be a realistic good outcome for Noodlesoup at this point?

Misdemeanor charges dropped (or some sort of suspended sentence) and a 1 year suspension from the university?

realistic good outcome is an important learning experience with actual repercussions and a cautionary tale for anyone who hears about it (which will be few, because this was all entirely pointless)

I don't know what the answer is overall for SE, but this makes me sad.

I was a masc presenting gay kid in private Catholic schools growing up but stayed very quiet and introverted for fear of revealing my secret to my very conservative friends and family. It wasn't until the start of my private Catholic high school when I joined the swim team and bonded with a cute sophomore boy over Final Fantasy VIII that I made my first real friend I felt comfortable around. And then we started kissing each other.

Needless to say, the series holds a very special place in my heart. I loved IX and X and XI. XII and XIII weren't quite what I wanted but i still enjoyed them. I was so excited for XV and when it finally released and I got to play it, the series basically died for me. XV was such a massive disappointment that I completely disconnected from even following the series. When XVI came out, I had completely forgotten it was even a thing until a friend asked me if I had bought it. The VII remakes have been... fine. But I had a hard time even getting excited for them. More fearful than interested, I guess.

I think XV being such a massive success when it was such an incomplete, empty, and janky game probably had a hand in people losing faith in the series. Massive amounts of people experienced XV and I'm betting a lot were like me. I couldn't even finish the game. It was a miserable experience for me.

The answer in part for SE is stop with the exclusivity deals. Multi platform from day one moving forward. Even with all these PS5’s being bought, the majority are still just shrugging at the FF franchise.

final fantasy matters so much to me because I really liked FF8 and I searched for art of it online and I found some fan art of seifer sucking squall's turgid cock while squall said "...whatever" and that really spoke to my impressionable young catholic mind, it made me want to suck cocks too just like my hero seifer, that's why it's so sad FF16 isn't a very good game, it's not the type of game that motivated anyone into drawing clive sucking dick which is kind of my metric for widespread success of an entry in the franchise

"Most people can't understand how rich people can have problems. They dismiss rich people's mental health concerns as insignificant and of diminished importance," Paul Hokemeyer, a clinical psychotherapist who treats the ultra rich, told CNBC.

According to therapists that CNBC spoke to, more often than not, the super-rich struggle with feelings of isolation, depression, and paranoia, amongst others — a spectrum of emotions that many others tend to share.

"Most people can't understand how rich people can have problems. They dismiss rich people's mental health concerns as insignificant and of diminished importance," Paul Hokemeyer, a clinical psychotherapist who treats the ultra rich, told CNBC.

Ree's response -

Pity the ones who have golden spoons?

Nah

Lmao we have people dying out here cause they can't afford the price of insulin and we are supposed to feel bad for rich folk because they feel lonely? Fuck off.

Peak victim-hood PR

Eat shit, rich people.

Look at them all dismissing and deriding people's mental health problems. Progressives.

Bonus from Neppy Theresa -

I wouldn't even share a side-eye for anyone saying "fuck the rich" because the fundamental immorality of possessing significant wealth is too great for me to ignore. Call me heartless, but I save my energy for people who are in worse circumstances, such as those who also have mental issues and yet can't afford a therapist.

How many therapist sessions has this performative cunt sponsored? Fuck all. That's how many

"Eat the rich" they say.

Except here. Then the same who scream eat the rich will say "NO NOT LIKE THAT!"

- Square Enix made a $100 million(?) game so bad it shut down a studio and all the copies landed in the bin
- After the big success of NIER Automata Square Enix and Platinum Games made a game so bad it shut down a live service within months
- Square Enix made FF7 Xenoblade Rebirth but somehow not for Switch and teamed up with Porsche for the marketing.
- Square Enix made an FF game based on forcing developers to binge watch Game of Thrones long after GoT was still a popular thing.
- Square Enix had Team Ninja develop an angst Linkin Park prequel to the first Final Fantasy
- Square Enix released a broken port of Chrono Cross, only to fix it after people didn't care about it anymore
- Square Enix released like 24(?) games in 2022/2023(?) often directly competing with themselves
- Square Enix hasn't released a new mainline Dragon Quest since 2017
- Square Enix somehow landed the The Avengers license and managed to make those bomb (including a great Galaxy of the Guardians game)
- Square Enix somehow fumbled the Tomb Raider IP, even though the games they published are great
- Square Enix fumbled the Deus Ex IP with DLC/mobile nonsese, even though the games are great
- Square Enix released 'native' remasters of many PS2 era games on Switch but released Kingdom Hearts I + II of all things only as an overpriced 'Cloud version'
- Square Enix bet heavily on NFTs (lmao)
- Square Enix released many of their biggest failed AAA games exclusively on PS5

Big fan these days but I can see why they need to pivot to a new strategy

Hamas *are* terrorists, including against their own people.

Interestingly, most of the world does not recognize Hamas as a terrorist organization...

Does that mean most of the world are terrorist sympathizers? Or is the word "terrorist" itself just a meaningless political label assigned to enemies of Western imperialism?

Being fair, multi platform releases now just mean “also Switch and PC version” because Xbox is dead in the water. So that just leaves FFVII Remake series to PS5 and PC.
