Japanese Prime Minister Ishiba, gathering with other LDP leaders, coincidentally ended up seated in order of receding hairline:

Yup, I know what you are referring to. But why ask a question when you already know the answer? Let's not play those games. Btw, Project Red should feel free to uglify Ciri if they feel the need to. It's their game, after all. I'm just curious to see if the sales will top Witcher III or not.

Trump's pick for health secretary, RFK Jr, supports polio vaccination, US senator says Republican Senator Markwayne Mullin said on Monday that Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President-elect Donald Trump's pick for health secretary and a vaccine skeptic, told him he supports polio vaccination.

Didnโ€™t he release a statement that he doesnโ€™t oppose polio vaccines?

Iโ€™m very interested in seeing how itโ€™ll do. Guess weโ€™ll find out next year ๐Ÿ‘

In that case, itโ€™s excluding the gift money. Itโ€™s highly unusual to charge a participation fee for a Japanese wedding, though (which is why gift money is always so high). Curious.

Are you sure about the 2 man? Giving even numbers is generally not done at Japanese weddings, so it would be either 1 or 3 man. In any case, that would be the gift money, Iโ€™d imagine. Best to ask if youโ€™re not sure (the other guests if possible).

Itโ€™s not a โ€œtakeโ€ but just the way the world works. Movies with attractive stars fill more seats. The most popular singers always seem to have a pretty face. You can hate it all you want, but donโ€™t pretend it isnโ€™t true.

Did I mention Ciri? But sure, Iโ€™ll bite. Thatโ€™s an image of Ciri in The Witcher III, not IV.

And thereโ€™s also a SNES version of the game.

Okayโ€ฆ Well, it was fun having a mature discussion with you while it lasted. Have a great day anyway ๐Ÿ‘

Why would I do that? To avoid upsetting the echo chamber?

You obviously have no clue about how sales work. People (not just men) like to have an attractive protagonist in the games they play. But good luck trying to sell games with ugly characters.

This mascot is exactly what I think of when I hear โ€œFilm Commissionโ€. Especially the carrying around a pufferfish part ๐Ÿ˜„

Thatโ€™s because they should be changed every six months. Just like our passwords ๐Ÿ˜„

Because these are precisely the same questions used by websites as password security questions.

Yes, just imagine politicians treating members from other parties as colleagues instead of sworn enemies. Canโ€™t have that!

They voted for Biden four years ago. Maybe try Dems moved a bit too far to the left since then?

Sure. Keep calling them that instead of trying to get them back in the Democratic fold. Not a great strategy for winning elections.

Oh, I couldnโ€™t care less. But itโ€™s funny that so many Dems can only explain blue collar workers voting for the Reps with โ€œbecause theyโ€™re stupidโ€. Keep up that attitude and look forward to another lost election in four years.

That attitude is exactly why many working class voters are now voting for Republicans instead of for Democrats.
