Okay, you’re coming in a little hot there. I have no idea what you’re talking about. I’m not deflecting anything. I’m saying that pointing out that there are issues in Australia does not absolve the fact that there are issues in the US. I’m literally only pointing out that it is, in fact, whataboutism. That’s it. I haven’t even touched on the issues themselves, so whatever persona you’ve painted on me and are clearly so passionate about is in your head only.
Some people are really weird when it comes to things being “fair.” I forget the details but I remember a study where given the option of getting $100 and a stranger getting $200, a good chunk of people would rather neither of them get anything.
The packet contains silica dioxide, which is non-toxic. The only reason the bags make such a big deal about not eating them is to make sure you don’t mistake them for food they might be packed with, and because the bag itself is a potential choking hazard.
I wouldn’t say the NCR is bad per se. They seem misguided, and there are definitely bad people in it, but most of them do seem to be trying to make the Mojave a better place.
I don’t buy the game trying to tell me Caesar’s justified, though. Traders saying “they keep the raiders at bay,” as if they’re not doing just as much raping and murdering as the raiders.
The only faction I actually like is the Followers of the Apocalypse. They seem like the only ones trying to make things better without serving their own agenda. It’s too bad you can’t do more for them.
Yeah, sorry, I didn’t word that well. The game makes it clear that the legion is the bad guy, I just mean the NPCs who defend the legion don’t make a very good case
I’ve been playing Far Cry 3, and every damn time I launch it the godforsaken Ubisoft launcher makes me verify my password. You know, in case someone tries to fraudulently play my 12 year old game.
The few times I go to mcD I get two double cheeseburgers because here at least they’re on the pick 2 for $3.69, making them almost half price and so the closest thing they still have to a reasonably priced burger.
I think the stereotype comes less from what Brits actually eat and more from traditional bland British dishes (notably ones that were probably popularized during rationing in WWII), such as beans on toast or the infamous toast sandwich.
As president, Donald Trump “made it very clear” that he thought Ukraine “must be part of Russia”, his former adviser Fiona Hill says in a new book about US national security under threat from Russia and China....
I haven’t read it in years, but I enjoyed it when I did. It’s kind of a slice of life of some somewhat hipster young adults in a world that’s mostly the same as ours but with some random bits of advanced technology, most notably sentiment AI that live alongside humans in robot bodies. I really enjoyed it a few years ago, but I have no idea how the story has progressed since then. I’d definitely give it a try if you’re interested.
