Ah, ok! I'll spoil it: it has to do w a nordic drug lord named Uncle Sweetshare in The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind game. This is a poem from a book you find in the game. The "sugar" and "candy" is referring to, presumably, Moon sugar, an illicit substance in the game! XD

Yeah I actually googled it afterwards.. I haven't played III though so I wouldn't know lol
 
A few things I paid attention to that nobody talked about:

1. The fruit in Super Mario Odyssey looks exactly like the apples from Animal Crossing, but in 3D. You should see for yourself if you play it.
2. Some of the statues that Redd sells in Animal Crossing are offensive. The counterfeit version of the Great Statue has a Nazi salute.

2. It actually doesn't... unless the sculptor was some early anti-Jew propaganda person which I highly doubt, and that gesture is not really what you think. Also it was made way too early for that. Sigh. Also it wouldn't be allowed in a kids' game smfh.

anyway, who tf thought "cup" was a good measurement unit???

Palm up (which is the real statue) is fine. Palm down when hand is up is the problem. But it wouldn’t matter because the only real controversy Animal Crossing invoked was in Wild World over an offensive catchphrase. Like Mario Party tearing peoples’ hands, Zelda’s swastika-shaped dungeon, and Pok?mon’s seizure-inducing episode.

It's still not that kind of salute lol o_O

But yeah people get upset over weird things. Also how is just adding a crescent moon and Islam things into a Zelda game controversial, must be thousands of games that have either that or other religious things in them that would be more or less "controversial". Also mind you Japanese culture is pretty different from ours, they are generally more lean on those kind of things, just we in the west being PC and removing everything, just saying.

Back in the 90’s, Nintendo of America was much stricter when it came to handling religion in games. They wouldn’t even allow depicting a cross in the NA version of an NES game. But their handling of religion has gotten more lax over time.

NA and EU sometimes have always been stricter and less allowing because of how they view religion and culture in depictions.

Also re that statue, it was made in the late 1800s and that salute wasn't considered offensive like that til 1921 so idk where you got that from.
 
My mom thinks I am a 5 year old and I told her stop calling me these baby names and stop treating me like a baby.
still she doesn't stop

The Election is now over.

- Democrats control the House 235 to 200.
- Republicans control the Senate 53 to 47.
- 27 State Governors are Republican, as 23 Governors are Democrat.

The actual event may been over for three weeks, but the rest is all done, including the vote counts in Montana and Arizona, the Florida recounts, and more recently, Mississippi’s runoff election. While the Democrats have taken back the House, a big deal for them is that some rising stars (Abrams, Gillum, and O’Rourke) have lost their elections.

Now I will stop reading the news.

Easily offended people in general. Or those who "defend" others when they can speak for themselves just to make the person criticizing looking bad.
 
So one guy has a very long lighter that can light candles easily or a tiny person that’s very good at piano, all thanks to the genie. But another guy wishes for a million bucks, but got a million ducks flying over him. The genie is deaf.

What do you think the first guy really asked for?
 
Decided to change my avatar. I don't tend to do that often, so I figured it was notable enough to announce. After a lengthy ordeal, I was finally able to get it working.

When I read the news, I decided to not read any reports on Louis Farrakhan or George Soros since I already know how bad those two really are. They don’t need anymore attention. But Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, what a complete idiot. It’s hard for me to ignore reports about what the ultimate Mary Sue says. I hated her since the day she first got public attention.

But I’m not all against her. One thing she did right was that she unseated a 12-year incumbent. And despite being less fit for Congress than Trump is for Presidency, I wouldn’t call her voters “stupid” like those who called the Trump’s voters “stupid” for voting for him. Her opponent had a history of spousal abuse, which makes it hard for us to support him. It’s kinda why I preferred Doug Jones to win Alabama’s special Senate election.
