If Metroid has million fans, then Maddy Myers is one of them.
If Metroid has one fan, then Maddy Myers is THAT ONE.
If Metroid has no fans, that means Maddy Myers is dead.

i know that nintendo does not send advance codes to people who don't work at official outlets (or who are doing ad work for them or something like that) but i think they should make an exception for me for metroid prime 4 because i am an official metroid outlet in and of myself

This whole thread, but if you wanna understand why police in the US are especially awful, this is a big piece of the puzzle (along with qualified immunity and their origins as slave catchers).
explained that police have no duty to protect people because their only job is to protect property rights, and an order of protection was "not the sort of 'entitlement' out of which a property interest is created." The right to be protected from harm by police, wrote Scalia,

I am seeing the posts about American healthcare premiums going up 5x and more. And I want to gather my Canadians and folks who have universal healthcare and let you know that Americans know their system is broken. You don't need to tell them that right now.

Building a well-paying career takes time. Always has for all but the most privileged. What's missing today in the US are unions, along with affordable college, housing, and medical care.

People wildly overestimate the economic security experienced by past generations. There's no period in American history where significant numbers of young people were just handed high paying jobs. Nostalgia for a time that never existed is a huge problem.
Why Nikki Haley’s son went radical: His generation inherited insecurity.
I profile Nalin Haley, a fascinating young man, who I believe will likely play an important role in conservative politics in years to come.
