Unless you die really young its going to happen immortality or not.

But in your normal life-span you'll only see a relatively small amount of loved ones pass away.
If you're immortal it happens again and again with each generation.
I would be immortal, but it requires invulnerability and no aging.
I don't want to spend eternity in a deteriorating body.

The lack of raider armor types is weird.

I doubt a raider out there patented one type of raider armor and then mass produced it to every raider camp.

This disappoints me too actually.

It's nice that we get a few different sorts of raider/leather armours so that all the raiders don't look identical, but it's a shame that we don't get any variety in raider power armour.
We should have seen more variety, with pieces made of car doors, or mirelurk shell or something.

Wait, isn't keeping Donald Annoying Orange out of your country because you don't believe what he believes exactly what Donald Annoying Orange wants to do with Musilums because he doesn't believe what they believe?

Yes and no.

It's less that the petitioners don't believe in the same things as him, and more that they find what he says and suggests to be harmful and dangerous.

And also, Donald Annoying Orange is a single person. There's never an issue with a country banning a single person for specific reasons from entering.
However Annoying Orange wants to ban all muslims in the world from entering the US because they are muslims, regardless of their actions, affiliations, backgrounds, etc...

So it's not quite the same, but I understand your point.

It was never going to end with Annoying Orange being banned.
It's mostly just a thought exercise.

It had to be debated however, because that's the governments promise to petitions that recieve enough votes.

In the same way that the White House responded to a petition a couple of years ago calling for the US to build a Death Star.

Can I get a TL;DR for the whole debate pls?

All the MPs agree that Annoying Orange is not a nice man, and he doesn't say nice things.

He's not really broken the rules to be banned however. It's possibly hate speech, but he's not calling for violence.

what's he going to do in the UK that could possibly come close to harming anyone in the loving country?

The argument was that we don't want someone who spreads hate speech in our multicultural society. That in turn can promote hate crimes.

It wouldn't make any sense for him to have a holiday after him if he was still alive.

He only has one because he was a martyr.

And, if he becomes president, and if he was banned...?

If he becomes President then it would almost certainly be lifted.
The UK's not going to refuse entry to the head of state of one of their biggest allies.

But if he doesn't become President, then he'll be banned, and it would presumably (but not necessarily) have an impact on his business ventures within the UK.

Off Topic / UK MPs debate [Ended] - Should Donald Annoying Orange be banned from entering the UK?

« on: January 18, 2016, 02:10:55 PM »

There's a debate currently going on between Members of Parliament in the UK, after a petition calling for Donald Annoying Orange to be banned from entering the UK recieved 100,000 signatures. It has currently recieved 575,000 signatures.

There's an updating article by the Guardian on the debate as it rolls out tonight, including a live video feed (is a bit tenuous). The debate has now ended, and a full summary of the various speeches and keypoints made can be found on the previous link.

This might be of interest to you, even if the end result may be quite predictable.

This is uni internet, but this is nowhere near realistic at all.
I can't play multiplayer games on my Xbox, for example.

And when it is actually decent, it is not stable.

I think a significant amount of time on most of these games comes from leaving them running by accident.

I only recently got Rise of Nations on Steam, and I definitely haven't played it for 27 hours.

There is a person that believes she should have been born as a blind person so she bleaches her eyes until she becomes permanently blind.

She's got a mental illness.
Same thing causes other people to purposefully attempt to lose limbs.

and how is that relevant exactly?

It's Tony's new thing to try and bring up people with any sort of body dysphoria whenever he can.
He can't talk MLP, he's drifting away from Fallout, so now his thing is anything to do with people who aren't happy as they are for whatever reason.
Hope you choose some fancy new glasses. I personally suggest trying to avoid anti-glare covers on any you get, by the way. When I had them the damn things picked up dirt like it was no bodies business, and I was constantly having to clean them. Wasn't fully effective without a cleaning solution either.

And san bernards should be named Alfonso.

No, Saint Bernards should be called Beethoven.
