What Would You Say Is the Most Iconic Symbol in Video Games?
Are we talking brands, or are we talking symbols?If it is symbols and symbols alone, I'd probably guess it is this:The D-Pad.No matter what type of controllers we have now, be it crosses, sticks, guitars, gloves, or whathaveyou, the D-Pad is in my estimation, the most recognizable and universally understood symbol in videogames.
The equivalent to how this symbol:Is understood by all, even if kids (or some younge people in general) might not even know where it comes from or what it is.

Kellyanne Conway lamented that Sen. Corker's tweet humiliated Trump in the eyes of world leaders and possibly diminished his stature and immense respect.
Is she correct?
That is because Kellyanne Conway thinks that Trump actually has some stature and respect in the world. Because he has them to her.
In fact, Trump has long lost any stature with either world leaders or most of the rest of the world. What is losing stature is the US, and particularly the Republican party. The longer the Republican party, the only power which has the authority to remove Trump, fails to do so, the more respect they will lose, and the more respect the government of the US and the country as a whole will lose

Was anyone too old to audition for Harry Potter?
In the books, when James and Lilly Potter passed away, they were 21 years old.21.This is how they appeared in the movies.
Lily is played by Geraldine Somerville, who was 34 when the movies started and 44 when the movies ended, and Adrian Rawlins, who played James, was even older, 43, when the movies started and 53 when they ended.Maybe the casting of Alan Rickman as Severus Snape made this a logical change or maybe they were not yet aware of the age of Harrys parents at the time. Whatever might be the reason, I thought it was a bit weird

Is it scary to experience a solar eclipse if you don't know what it is?
I remember one a few years ago, it's interesting and unusual. But if you follow the media on it you'll probably see some of this:A couple of idiots thinks it's the judgement dayEveryone warns you not to look directly into Sun 'cause you'll be blind right awayAnimals start to act strangelySuperstitious people get scaredEvery second is on the breaking newsSome guru will probably write a handbook, something like 'Awake the eclipse within'Nerd from the neighborhood will keep to play WoW like nothing happens, because he would be interested in just if the Sun hits him directly into faceWish you luck watching it

Do people exist with weird music taste like Nirvana, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and others?
You are a fan of what is known as classic rock.
As you delve further into it, you'll find that classic rock gets even weirder and more awesome than what gets played on classic rock stations. For example, you should check out King Crimson (try the first album, the Red album, and THRAK), and you may like Alice Cooper's Billion Dollar Babies and Welcome to my Nightmare albums. But I suspect that you want to meet other peeps your own age that like similar music.
So here's a good place to start:https://plus.google.com/communities/115133537383194968823

What did Indira Gandhi do for the country?
Contributions are mere contributions. They can be good ones and bad ones.In my opinion, her contributions wereEvolving and maturing Indian politics in geopolitics.
Creation of Bangladesh was her finest contribution.She consistently and systematically destroyed institutions, made PMO unreasonably powerful and almost destroyed democracy by imposing internal Emergency to save her political career. Through IRDP she corrupted an entire nation.
Nationalised practically every industry and ended up creating white elephants of mammoth proportions.Single-handedly destroyed a democratic Congress Party and created a dynasty driven party. Sikh terrorism was her gift to the nation again for her narrow political ends

Did Elon Musk do anything directly to solve Tesla's production hell, or did he just tell his VP or whoever's in charge to sort it out?
Elon Musk is very technical and very capable.He was part of the group solving the issue and not just a manager beating a drum.No, this is not some Elon cool aid.
There are plenty of youtube videos out there where Elon gets a very technical question and not just answers it but nails it. When he started at SpaceX, he actually did study rocket science, he knows his stuff.He is far from being the sole mind of these companies, but he is very technical

Why donu2019t more countries copy the United States?
The dont copy the US, mostly because they have already copied the US. The basic idea of modern government came in part from the US example that a strong Republican form of government could succeed. The US had inexpensive colleges before Europe.
Europe expanded the idea and improved it. The US has moved away from that concept.The US today isnt an example that anyone wants to copy, particularly more densely populated countries.
Nobody in European cities would want people to carry handguns and start shooting. Nobody in Europe would copy our approach to healthcare

Did any English or British kings or queens have any Irish ancestry?
Richard de Clare (Strongbow) married Aoife of Leinster.
Issue: Isabel de Clare m William, Marshal of England.Issue:Isabel Marshel and Eva Marshel (There were more, but these are the ones who had flashy descendants. )Descendants include Robert the Bruce or Robert I of Scotland, his Grandson Robert II was a bit of a shagger and he had 27 kids legitimate and illegitimate and married them into the Scottish Nobility.
Which basically makes everyone in Scotland descended from Robert Bruce and also from Aoife of Leinster.Another descendant was Anne Boleyn which of course makes Queen Elizabeth I also descended from Aoife of Leinster.

Why did Robert Baratheon marry Cersei?
Practicality, His true love was dead and he wore the crown,i imagine the realm was waiting to see who hed marry. He had the North,Riverlands and Vale at his back with Tywin having thrown in his lot with them nearing the end,doing what the heroic and honorable couldnt do.Leaving a man like Tywin with a dick in his hands wasnt wise and it would basically secure his reign as very few would dare to stand against Tywin who would be a close ally to the crown.
It made political sense.

For the atheist, what will be their reaction, if there is life after death and God appears as the judge with all his attached qualities?
An afterlife could hold surprises for believers as well as atheists (although atheists would be the ones surprised by the existence of afterlife which, to an atheists, is a form of magical thinking).
Not sure what attached qualities the OP is referring to since I dont know his religious tradition, but I should remind him that there are many, many religions, each with particular claims about whats waiting for us after we die. I wish the OP all the best, but suggest he not be too smug. Its possible hes the one who will be disappointed

Why was Harvey Weinstein required to leave behind his walker when he was led out of the courtroom in handcuffs following his conviction in February 2020?
If he actually needs a walker, he will be provided with one in prison. However, anyone who has ever used a walker knows that he didnt actually need the one he was using.Walkers are meant to help bear the persons weight.
He had his very far out in front on him and was just pushing it. There was no way it was being used because he needed it. He pushed the walker for effect, to make himself look weak and ill.
Seems the jury saw through his pathetic attempt at getting pity

Why is BIMSTEC so important for India?
Rahul Dwivedi has given a comprehensive answer.The importance these smaller countries look towards India to take up developmental initiatives in these smaller states, otherwise the Chinese drag on is just waiting on the wings to fool & later cripple their economy & therby reducing them to poverty.
India cannot afford to lose on them at any cost & this is also to segregate Pakistan out of the picture - as it has only one point agenda - to trouble India at any cost & at the same time help China to trouble India.

Iu2019m a CS major at a no-name school. How much will my schoolu2019s abysmal reputation affect my job prospects?
I went to a school with a very good academic reputation. However, in 18 years in the software industry and interviewing fairly often, the school I attended was mentioned in 1 interview ever. When I review resumes, I MIGHT give a small amount of extra attention to someone who went to Carnegie-Mellon, MIT, Stanford or Berkley but in reality, they might be better junior developers but they are still junior.
But I would prefer a GitHub resume and an associates any day to someone with a bunch of academic credentials and zero real world experience

Did Led Zeppelin under use John Bonham?
I dont think so; within reason, Led Zeppelin would NOT have been Led Zeppelin without him - thats why they called it a day when he passed away. Just listen to When The Levee Breaks - even Good Times Bad Times from their debut album; he out-manoeuvred his hero Carmine Appice!
HOWEVER, when he got hold of a Ludwig kit with 2 bass drums in the early days, Page & Jones were not too happy - & that extra drum was given marching orders!John Bonham in 1969 (R.I.

You are a skilled sniper in the Star Wars universe and you have the opportunity to shoot either Darth Vader or Lord Sidious in the head. Who are you shooting and why?
If I was a sniper in the star wars universe, I would use a slugthrower. Blaster bolts go at the speed of a baseball throw, bullets are not dodgeable. Blaster bolts can be deflected with a lightsaber, bullets become globs of molten metal.
Blasters use tibanna gas and delicate electronics, slugthrowers are literally just guns. It is hard to focus on or even use force powers while in combat, so I would hire some goons to also shoot at them. While they are getting their shit wrecked, Id try to get a kill shot on palpy.

Studies have shown that most college-educated Americans are liberals. So is being liberal superior to being conservative?
People who believe in liberalism or who are liberals usually see the good in people or in a certain situation.
It is my responsibility to help the homeless person, and once I help him, he will help himself.People who are conservative on the other hand, see people's environment as a responsibility of their work ethic. (this is true for some, but not all.
Some just have shitty luck. )If college teaches to see the best in people, instead of realistic expectations, then more gullible college students are going to be liberals

Do you think that Rahul Gandhi being portrayed as the Joker is part of the BJPu2019s agenda to create such public opinion?
Yes, it was a well plan strategy by BJP PR/IT cell.
This was the pattern. Not only Rahul, any one opposed BJP policy and showed some stance was discredited and made to look like joker. Suddenly their memes, funny videos and photos started appearing on Social Media.
Their every silly mistakes are projected in bad light and shown as joke. Such pictures were designed specificall to forward.I hate many people politically but I never get time to make such memes and videos.
This thing are definitely were done by Professionals

How do you overcome feelings of inferiority when you see what others your age have achieved? Iu2019d be surprised if I am alone in this. Edit: Iu2019m glad to discover that a moment of weakness led to the single question that has taught me the most on Quora.
Comparing where you are and where they are is like comparing a snowflake on a tree to a snowflake in the air. One may landed but eventually it will melt or evaporate then it may help the tree grow, fall later as rain or snow, or maybe even and animal will take it as nourishment. The one in the air may do that too when it lands, but if a strong breeze carries it away it could be a while before it stops.
Just remember no journey is done until it is done

Media marketing led me to believe I will be able to attract a boyfriend if I have beautiful lingerie. So I bought Victoria's Secret lingerie. Why can I still not find a boyfriend?
Well I assume you aren't Maddona and wearing it on the OUTSIDE of your clothing.Here's a tip, honey, by the time he can *see* your underwear its generally not an issue.I think you need to take a step back and ask yourself what you are looking for and why?
If its just sex, and thats the only thing the underware has anything to do with, its pretty easy to find a guy. If its more, then maybe you should think about THAT side of things and how you effectively meet guys with similar interest and communicate your interests to them
