Honestly it’s kind of impressive it managed to stay somewhat close to the original after being translated into so many different languages with different alphabets and conventions. I mean it’s still a question about someone doing something.

I think that the phrase keeps slightly close to the question because the beginning phrase had a good amount of words in a large amount of languages, while the word acorn... well, acorn doesn't really need to be in a language. Although, how it went from 'Acorn' to 'What should you do?' is unknown to me.

Human. To be specific, some subspecies unique to me, as technically every human is a subspecies of human made from a combination of whatever your parents’ subspecies is.

Rainbow road was always one of my favorite tracks in Mario Kart for the Wii as a kid. I never found it that difficult unless I was on the absolute fastest speed but it could be different in the newer games, I haven’t played any since my Wii got sold seven or eight years ago now.

Gotta love my younger cousin, bless her poor childhood having to face me in 1v1s on RR. She was nine.

Yeah I've never been good at mariokart in general, I'm better at strategy games like fire emblem but it's the only game my younger brother would play with me so I had to (as they say) "git good"

There’s no one in my family close to me in age so I was mostly just playing regular races against eleven computer characters. The computer could be really tough on the higher speeds.

My mom would join me on very rare occasions and I always won against her but that doesn’t mean much, she was probably letting me win considering I was like eight when I played it the most and terrible at most games.

And because I was around eight that means the cousin closest to me in age literally wouldn’t have been born yet or would have been an infant. I’m the oldest with no siblings.

Conquest was fun! I liked the characters of Birthright more, but Conquest was more fun for me to play. I also liked Conquest more than Awakening.

My first fire emblem was Paths of Radiance for the Gamecube, which I really liked at the time, but I liked its sequel, Radiant Dawn, a bit more. And then I played so much Three Houses when it came out.

Good series.

Basing my GA against vote on this. I know the WA Councillor has suggested a favourable vote, but I'm sticking with the idea that we need a better replacement, and I don't think this is it.

Furthermore, I'm very convinced by this post from the forum:

Kinnies wrote:The amended language doesn’t just permit perjury charges, though. It exempts people who make a false accusation from any of the protections in the resolution, which, as I said before, creates a serious delay in enforcing the protections for any survivor.

I've argued through the entire repeal process that the false accusation argument is not relevant given the microscopic amount of times it happens compared to it being touted as a possibility in 100% of cases. It's a bogeyman of an argument and I'm disappointed to see it included in a way that will delay help to survivors.

I like savoury pies better than sweet. My favourite is probably chicken and asparagus!

I love apple pie, but only when I make it myself (I think the store bought ones are too corn-syrupy). I haven’t had enough savory pies to say whether or not I like them.

Pumpkin probably but I’ll eat pretty much any pie. I just like fruit. And pumpkin.

Alright, so a new proposal is up called "Psychiatric Care Act". I immediately have problems with this, and not just because it's very similar to a previous proposal that was passed some time ago called GA#140: "Institutional Psychiatry Act". One person made a helpful graph to parse the differences between the two proposals. For one thing, GA#140 doesn't allow for patients of mental health facilities (MHF) to be released if the patient themself is not ready to leave, while this new proposal does, which could be very jarring for a patient and could lead to further mental health issues, if not an increased chance of suicidal or homicidal behavior.

This new proposal also allows for visitation from outside parties if the patient is not deemed a threat to others or themselves, but says absolutely nothing about patients that are deemed a threat. It also says nothing about what could occur if the member state is undergoing a pandemic.

This proposal also allows for the confinement of individuals based on sexual orientation, gender identity, and peaceful expression of opposition to the government, on the grounds that they will pose a "direct and immediate threat"...somehow.

Overall, while this looks all nice and neat for a proposal, the wording is far too vague and filled to the brim with loopholes. In several words, this raises so many red flags on my end that voting against is what I plan to do.

I love being told I'm a "direct and immediate threat..."

I mean technically I am, I take Taekwondo.

But definitely not because i am LGBTQ
