Just here to say that the UK's laughable excuse for a Prime Minister is seemingly determined to not only copy but, exceed Trump's stupidity. I wish you all every success for November in having your idiot replaced. I've got five more years of this mop haired coked up narwhal.

That is one minor annoyance with the game, in that 90% of enemy attacks target whichever character you are controlling, so you're constantly being interrupted unless you switch constantly.  It adds a lot of mental stress.

It is a predictable and very useful aggro mechanic, that makes some fights a lot easier.

Also, provoke materia.

I thought that was already debunked? Like, it was never gonna be a thing, but some journalist somewhere misunderstood something and it blew up from there?

That's great news for the women of NZ! Bodily autonomy at last after over 40 years.

Unfortunately, once Biden wins the nom, I expect a lot of Bernie Bros to sulk their way into either not voting or spite-voting for Trump.

Speaking from the perspective of someone who could be considered a "bernie bros" equivalent in UK politics, yes refusing to vote for a candidate I didn't believe in is what I would do.
However, we have more options in the UK as to who to vote for in other parties, so its not as if my vote would be withheld completely.

I am sick and tired of the politics of fear of "must beat this person at all costs" rather than encouraging people to vote for meaningful change. The next UK election will be "beat the Tories at all costs" with Labour as a the front runners but, if I don't like their policies, they won't get my vote.

The main political parties thrive on that sort of politics, relying on that for victory, rather than offering anything palpable.

apparently people think biden's a stronger candidate against trump than bernie would be. after the last week, i think that's likely true. beating trump is objective number 1, all else is secondary. practical, not crazy.

Sadly that's just race to the bottom politics and is likely to go the same way for Biden as it did for Hilary. People want change.

I'm disappointed I've seen so much pro-Warren commentary and pro-Biden. Of the two, I'd rather Warren was still in but, its frustrating to think anyone progressive would choose her over Bernie.
That anyone would choose Biden over Bernie is kinda crazy.

Labour’s manifesto calls for massive spending increases for health care, social programs, infrastructure and education. The party also wants to nationalize huge parts of the economy, including energy suppliers, railway operators, the Royal Mail – which was privatized in 2013 – water companies and the internet arm of telecom giant BT. A Labour government would also force companies to give employees a 10-per-cent ownership stake, and any publicly traded company that fails to combat climate change would be delisted from the stock exchange, according to the manifesto. The party also plans a host of giveaways, including free broadband for everyone, free basic dental care, free postsecondary education and a program to upgrade every home to “the highest energy-efficiency standards.”

This just reads like right-wing media dross to me.

I'm a Canuck so I only have an outsider's view, but this is what I based my comment on. Big things rarely ever happen at once. Really change takes time and either finesse or catastrophe. It just felt to me that what Labour was suggesting was too big a step for the ave. citizen to swallow. I don't know how effective terming the platform 'radical' could be in the conservative U.K. HE might have well as used the word communist to the average joe or joelene.

There's so much wrong with this, so I'll it one piece at a time.

Big things rarely happen at once - the privatisation of service Labour proposed to return to public control, happened within one term of a Tory Government. If it is acceptable for the policy to go one way quickly, then it is acceptable to go the other way.

Change takes time - this is a meaningless phrase, as what is meant by "time" is not defined.

It just felt to me that what Labour was suggesting was too big a step for the ave. citizen to swallow - judging by the  substantial % share of the vote Labour got, that's clearly not the case. The right wing media and brexit did for Labour this time round. They can certainly build on these policies to attract more voters in the future. If they roll back to the middle ground, they will lose the considerable youth vote they gained since 2015.

HE might have well as used the word communist to the average joe or joelene. - this is precisely what the right-wing media did in their McCarthy-esque hatchet job.
