I mean, he was speaking at the Black Conservative Federation. It’s sorta relevant just given the venue.

If it want a really good 4X game

Is this for real?

There’s no reason that guilt would be absent from helpinghelp a specific person in need (like your struggling mother example). Plenty of people feel guilty taking handouts and will outright refuse help when they might need it.

As for the drive thru thing, I think you might be talking about something different than what I’ve seen/done, which is just paying for your own meal and the people behind you. There isn’t any expectation for them to continue some chain, and in many ways it’s a bit of an empty gesture (they are just taking that first person’s goodwill and passing it to the next in line).

My interpretation of paying it forward is the premise of receiving something when you’re in need, then, when you’re able, to give something back. Not to the one who helped you, as that would be repaying a debt.

This amuses me

I would imagine the blanket statute to refer to is something like reckless endangerment, or perhaps more likely would be the firearms themselves being unlicensed.

Additionally, if I shot at someone who was wearing a bulletproof vest, it still would be attempted murder. If they asked me to shoot at them, it still would continue to be attempted murder (“no judge, they asked me to shoot them and I missed”).

I mean, even if someone explicitly asked for you to kill them, in writing, notarized, and all that legal jazz, then you’re getting into the realm of assisted suicide and that lovely grey area of morality. Though I believe it’s still illegal throughout the US.

I guess I’m out of the loop. I’m definitely biased, but I would be very surprised to hear that Jack Black did anything that would warrant my skepticism.

Oh geez, better be careful making controversial statements like that.

Curious as to why that would be the case. Unless people are starting videos, letting them buffer, then reloading and doing it again.

It should be the same amount of bandwidth, otherwise, right?

If that’s a joke, I don’t get it.

If that’s real, I don’t know why.

Help?

I did always wonder the logistics behind that. Did those businesses get reimbursed from the contest runners? I like the idea of them trading in their piles of caps for cash

Amusing that Jerry is omitted from that screenshot

There are a ton of things you can do with a keyboard natively on Android. I would imagine these use that plus a bit of software to emulate “real” movements, like the flicking down to scroll

I guess it’s more asking what the alternatives could be. I don’t have the answer, and truthfully don’t have much of an idea what is out there to solve that problem.

Is there a system that can get information to someone, maintaining anonymity for the sender the whole way through? Like having an open drop box where you’d be able to put whatever documents you want into it.

So I recognize that having the files securely encrypted is a valuable thing, and that having privacy for sharing is also important. But how do you actually share this without creating a vulnerable point?

Say I wanted to leak some file as a whistleblower, I’d still need to get the link/password/etc shared to whomever I’m leaking to, right? Sorta defeats the purpose when you need some other source of contact, right?

While it’s amusing that it feeds these Onion articles, it’s also a bit worrying when the search queries are worded in such a way that allows for such stark confirmation biases.

It’s very similar to asking ChatGPT the same question phrased differently and getting entirely different answers.

Pretty questionable reporting to flatly state it “was caused by” someone, especially if he will be going to trial.

In my opinion, open world doesn’t mean being able to complete any objective in an arbitrary order.

Progressive growth is one of the most rewarding things in an RPG for me. That means that I have to rethink my path forward until I gain the strength to overcome an obstacle. And that also means that some of my once difficult foes can be a showcase for my experience.

Areas aren’t blocked, they’re turned into goals for me to overcome. Yes, I should have a choice in how I explore the world, but having limits gives you something to break through.

This is my running complaint with most Bethesda RPGs. Just about everything scales by player level, which can put you in situations where enemies are downright impossible to kill if you’re too spec’d into non-combats.

So I missed it the first time. But the title is “A The Lord of the Rings Game”. Assumedly to maintain copyright, they did not drop the “The” from “The Lord of the Rings” even though they started with “A”
