Until I got a phone without one, I used it all the time. But now I have fully switched to Bluetooth. The price pot me off a lot, but my tozo A3s are are both cheap enough and good enough that I am happy to have made the switch.

Oh don’t you worry, I’ve completed it. But thank you :)

I agree, I thought it was great and I felt the art direction really fit the original perfectly!

I’ve been slowly working my way through 100%ing every Zelda game. Done almost all of them other than BotW & TotK.

Well I’m glad I managed to hear about it before they do! LA DX was my first Zelda game. Time to relive some memories in HD!

I always feel it’s more of a tax on hope. I know a few folks who play and the understand the odds very well… but what if!

‘What if’ can be very appealing for only £2, even if it is incredibly, incredibly, (repeat incredibly a thousand more times) unlikely.

honestly disappointed they’ll get double digits, never mind into triple.

yeah, it was one of those movies that I think was ruined by the advertising. All the adverts at the time tried to make it seems like a star wars rip off, when it wasn’t anything like star wars really.

OMG!!! I have looked for that song for so long!! When I was a teen someone played that on a drama club bus and no one has ever believed me that the song exist!

Which is why I don’t agree with the analogy. Because that is not the solution when it comes to political ideologies.

History is full of terrible ideologies. Things like women’s right to vote, and segregation. If people who disagreed and who had the means to leave all did, these likely would still be laws in the US.

Yes, that would be the part that doesn’t work. Ideologies do not remained contained, they spread. And countries and states regularly change, all the time.

I don’t really agree with the abusive relationship analogy. Things only change if there are people there who want it to change. While I understand and sympathise with the desire to leave, I have the utmost respect for those who choose to stay and try to make/ be the change needed.

If the internet has taught me anything, it is that the cat thinks the knight is shit at killing dragons.

This and Watership Down are two of my favourite movies that fit a genre that seems to hardly exist any more. A movie where the journey is the story. Love them. Also I will continue to be in denial about my age thank you very much!

Makes me think of the season 5 community D&D episode: https://youtu.be/9byMfi3Qav4?si=x0n1PhPowJZWZxcA&t=157

At this point I don’t think you even know what your trying to say. None of that has any effect on anything I have said. In fact almost none of it even hardly applies to what I have said.

I am going to put it as simple as possible. If you are told about child abuse and do not report it, and therefore allow it to continue, you are evil. However that affects or upsets your worldview is not something I could care any less about.

The only way you could think I said all religious people is if you assumed all of them had this law. Which would mean American centrism. You can’t have got to that without it.

Those privileges should not protect (and in my country do not protect) suspicion of serious harm to others. You tell a member of your legal team or doctor that you abused a child, there is a duty to report.

[I’m not going to respond anymore. Partly because it’s late and I have work. Partly because I think you are arguing in bad faith, as your conclusions repeatedly do not correlate with what I said]

I did not state that. Your country is not the only country in the world. Not every religious person is part of the clergy.
I stated, and will state again. Those laws are evil and it taints all those who they protect.

It is also worth pointing out that, that changes nothing about what I said. It all still applies.

Those laws exist because they were lobbied for. It is not bigoted to hate laws that exist to protect abusers or those who are happy to use them. And I am not American, fortunately no such evil protections have been allowed in my country.

Also thinking it is extremist and bigoted to be against laws that exist to protect abusers and those that support them is certainly a take…

I also assume you have taken it as bigoted because you are American and assume that this applies to all clergy. But there are in fact clergy in the world that don’t support such thing. And shockingly many other countries where such disgusting laws don’t exist.

I stand by my statement. If your institution has such a law to protect it, it is gotta be pretty evil.
In my country and in my profession (teacher), it is stated in law that I am required to report (and testify if needed) any suspicion of child abuse. It is absolutely abhorrent to me that someone wouldn’t be required to. Never mind be protected from it.
Regardless of Bishop Miller’s opinion, that law is exists and is evil. And it taints all those who it protects.

I assumed the same as you, but I feel I am going to show my ignorance. What about the user name changed your mind?
