A good tactic when going against a shardblade.

Ask him if he would like to take a trip to Ireland to celebrate his graduation. I’m sure he won’t be starting work immediately, but if he already has a job it’s an easy excuse for at least a 2 week vacation. You could offer to show him around where you live and all the cool spots. Introduce him to your friends and do some of the things you all usually do for fun. Then you can take a trip to the touristy spots, which is conveniently a great excuse to get a room for night in the city, ya know, to make sure you have enough time to see everything and not worry about the travel time and such. Then for the end of the trip, just spend the time relaxing, and hanging out together. Give yourselves the time to get comfortable doing the day to day routine, give him a chance to experience what regular life in Ireland might be if he were to stay a bit longer.

Is that not just 2.4 trillion?

Me running to the bathroom after getting halfway through with the 3rd cup.

I think it’s just human nature to get enjoyment at making other people upset. It comes from a lack of empathy, understanding, and perspective.

When I was young, my cousin and I would hop into randomly chosen public chatrooms on MSN, or Yahoo, and just start typing stupid messages. We’d spam the chat with constans messages of “booger” or “poopy fart” and watch people get annoyed with us. Sometimes we’d pick a random message from someone and call them out telling them “hey {username}, shut up stupid.” The whole chatroom would get mad and tell us to leave, or to stop, and that made us keep doing it more. For a good half hour to 45 min, the entire chatroom was having a bad time except us, who were laughing out heads off at how mad they got and how compeley powerless they were to stop us.

We were also 10.

We haven’t experienced how annoying and frustrating that actually is. We didn’t understand or even care just how disruptive we were being, nor did we care about our contribution to making the space a bad space to be in. We, as children, didn’t have the empathy, compassion, or perspective of experience to care about that, and were just reveling in the attention and the power to force a group of strangers to focus on us and not what they originally wanted to.

Some people eventually develop empathy, self awareness, gain perspective on the world, or otherwise come to understand how immature these acts areof getting joy at being annoying, and stop. Other people don’t. The internet is home to people in all different stages of their life’s journey, and a lot of them haven’t reached that point yet.

Some troll because they’re immature. Some do it because they actively dislike a community and pettily get joy at annoying them. Some people just like the attention. People are complicated and weird, and often hard to understand. There is just one thing that will always be true:

As long as people exists, so too will trolls.

It’s religion. The truth doesn’t matter, only the practices and values they want you to adopt do.

I did it once, to prove a point.

Oh, of course. What was I thinking? That is the best page in the universe. I mean if it wasn’t, then it wouldn’t say so at the top of the page.

The only limit of course, being ourselves.

Ah yes, I sometimes reminice about all the good times I spent with a chicken on a raft.

Remember looking at the time counter to see when the first verse would repeat? Ah, good times.

TikTok just starts showing a lot of Bill Cosby shorts for some reason.

Let’s be fair here. While that is the point of the Scott and Ramona story, the movie didn’t really put a lot of effort into portraying that. The comics went a little more deeply into that dynamic and fleshing out the relationship, it was still pretty much the background against the character personality showcasing, and over the top dramatic fights. The movie really did nail the vibe and the characters but the whole “I think I learned something” and the end of the movie really downplays the “lesson” of the whole plot. So much so that I don’t think Scott himself even fully understood the actual lesson he just learned. Just that what he was doing was wrong, and needed to change, but not why and what exactly it was he needed to change.

Great movie for sure, even better comic series, but a deep complex plot it isn’t.

I don’t even want to know what the crossover of Helldivers 2 and Cocomelon would be.

Ugh I just thought of it:

Democracy. Democracy. It’s time to spread democracy.

Yes, yes, yes, I like to spread democracy.

Good. Good. Democracy’s good for you.

Yes, yes, yes, I like it woo.

Stuck huh? So FFXVI doesnt count?

The last 20 years spent on FFXIV doesn’t count?

Dragon Quest, doesn’t count?

SaGa Emerald Beyond doesn’t count?

Foamstars… Well arguable if it counts.

Point is, they are not stuck. It is far from the only thing they are making. They just have created an amazing world with FFVII with great lore, great characters, and an amazing story. Multiple games taking place in that world is not that crazy of an idea, nor is it uncommon in the RPG genre. Some of the games sucked, the remakes are awesome. It’s grown beyond a single game at this point, it’s a series. Making more games in a series, does not make a company stuck, especially when they are still release games in other series.

It’s what plants crave

So your claim is pure speculation and has no real merit. Yes, I agree.

You’re forgetting the part where they can shift the blame of the company is tanking as the fault of " lazy workers who won’t RTO" instead of their terrible management, to convince shareholders not to get rid of them

What are you on about?
