Rob Gronkowski Tells Behavioral Neuroscience Ph.D. That CTE Is "Fixable" Because He "Fixed" His Own okie dokie. HA! Good Fun!

I published a guide, because if you want games with trading cards, you need an user activity: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1865133710 It have tons of screenshots, so enjoy!

They seem to have spent $127 billion dollars funding climate change denial stuff. That's more apocalyptical than political.

https://www.nexusmods.com/pillarsofeternity2/mods/354 I posted in the "permanent bonuses" thread but I guess I should post it here as well. Effectively removes the forced rest during e.g. Dirty Laundry and entering Ukaizo while still progressing the correct amount of time, meaning you can now keep food bonuses.

have a hard time watching movies which makes stripping = empowerment, or anything remote similar. one o' our client bases were strippers and owners o' strip clubs. stripping often creates First Amendment issues. is common for a local community to ban, censor and/or confine stripping. "Relative to the general population, women in the sex industry experience higher rates of substance abuse, sexually transmitted diseases, domestic violence, depression, violent assault, rape and posttraumatic stress disorder." a majority o' strippers were sexually abused as children. ... let that sink in for a moment. low-end o' study results show 66% o' strippers were sexual abused as children and a few such studies claim numbers approaching 90%. yeah, stripping is less 'bout sex and more 'bout control, but is a self-delusion and the stripper rare ends empowered as 'posed to horribly broken. get folks into theatre seats to see a story o' strong women while simultaneous selling more traditional t&a? we can't do it. were our job to defend first amendment rights and we faced more than a few crisis o' conscience in doing so. didn't like advocating for white supremacists. didn't feel good 'bout representing "cultists" and gang leaders. representing strippers and strip club owners is what made us feel dirty, and not 'cause were sex trade. am proud o' what we did as an attorney, in spite o' moments o' conflict. however, stripper cases is the one identifiable group o' clients am still conflicted 'bout. we never helped strippers. our success in representing strippers meant more women were exposed to the evils we quoted earlier: substance abuse, sexually transmitted diseases, domestic violence, depression, violent assault, rape and posttraumatic stress disorder. we were the bad guy. haven't watched clip and perhaps am complete missing what hustlers is 'bout, but am admitted a bit sickened when stripping gets repackaged as a source o' woman's empowerment. forcible reminds us o' our own complicity in helping perpetuate the myth.

oligarchy gets used hyperbolic and prophetic for the US, but it doesn't make many traditional lists. http://worldpopulationreview.com/countries/oligarchy-countries/ the 2014 princeton article gets quoted frequent as support for notion US is deserving to be included, but representative democracy and lack o' any kinda unity 'mongst the US ruling class makes such stuff relative outlier material even if is deserving increasing attention. so the obvious reason why russian's get oligarch label and americans don't is 'cause is still no more than fringe acceptance o' notion the US qualifies as an oligarchy... save for when somebody in the media is attempting to make a point 'bout evils o' the military-industrial complex or wall street or silicon valley or... whomever. makes it more difficult to affix the label when one news outlet is warning 'bout the oligarchs trying to force socialism, unnecessary vaccinations and windmills on an unsuspecting public while others is claiming the oligarchs is pushing bank deregulation and weapon sales to saudi arabia. why no westerners? 'cause democratic institutions and process is excluding western nations from serious consideration o' the traditional oligarch label. however, the label does get applied in south america, mideast, asia and europe with equal verve. so, pretty egalitarian if culturally questionable. am thinking is worth considering US for oligarch status, but reasons why is less frequent than for russian and chinese and venezuelan business folks is hardly shocking and don't appear to have "ethnic connotations," as suggested in the article. somebody else wanna get into subconscious impact o' coding and how western academics cannot be trusted with a definition which almost by necessity excludes the west? *shudder* would rather chew on one o' those light bulbs which makes trump appear orange. *eye-roll* HA! Good Fun!

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried gellarde and ekera at the same time.

Dandelion's quest chain is even better (though a lot of people skipped it).

You always fight the Guardian if you take the Independent/Anarchist route. So you can free the dragon and sail to Ukaizo without a faction and still fight the Guardian.

As Tolkien would have said : "All that has an Antidote is not Poison."

Venombloom does get the bonus (even though it's not visibly keyworded). Plague doesn't.

I was randomly inspired to pick CK2 back up again but I guess some patch had come out and my saves are broken because the main mod I was using is not compatible and whatnot. So I fired up a new game as a custom Doge of Amalfi since that's my wife's most favorite place that we've ever been. Less than 50 years later I control a good chunk of Italy and I'm married to a Byzantine princess (though I'm no where near strong enough to press that claim yet). I forgot how much bigger retinues can get for a republic and I have a large one, retinue that is, and a nice standing army at my family mansion. I'm also l really, really rich so I can afford mercs as needed. I've had some pretty lucky breaks so far because there have been a lot of nearby revolts which I have taken advantage of by attacking whichever side was losing or I didn't have a truce with and taking a province here and there. The only thing I really have to worry about there is that I have to win before either side does but it's been mostly easy pickings otherwise. The only really close call was when I tried to take Rome from the pope. Luckily for me the other Catholic nations took their sweet time before joining in and the Pope surrendered just before their stacks of doom made it to me.

couldn't help but think o' that scene from blues brothers. what the heck, might as well add rawhide. HA! Good Fun!

'Figuratively'. The word you're looking for is 'figuratively.'

I cant wait for it to become a household product. I would love to be able to "repaint" the walls of my house at a whim.

Reprogrammable ink.

Boeroer, not that I think that it'd ever happen, but it might be easier to produce a game in the Forgotten Realms setting but using the PoE ruleset. This would allow them to avoid having to spend a lot of time recreating all different sorts of game mechanics, just to comply with whatever D&D ruleset they were allowed to use. It would require some small changes, I think. (I don't remember what the current D&D rules are like.) For example, removing firearms and adding in slings. But is such a FR/POE game likely to happen? When hell freezes over would be my best guess.

That makes good use of the own IP then. You'd only have to cramp the current pillars mechanics of miss/graze/hit/crit/inspirations/afflictions/stats/skills into a different setting which used to have its own rules - or quickly reimplement and fit the AD&D rules to the current game engine which is maybe intertwined with the rest. It all makes perfect sense, doesn't it? Wait... Now that I thought about it for a fraction of a second: it totally doesn't! 😜

The +2 CON from Neketaka Shrine (cant confirm the other +2 RES shrines) will NOT force a rest if: - You have 8 Religion - You choose "Sing an Ondrite.." option - You are injuried (will remove the injury instead of a forced rest). --------- The Delemgam on Tikawara will NOT offer the spore if Agresive AND/OR Cruel disposition (cant confirm Shady). ---------- @Kaylon i experienced that "adra potion supressed" thing once, saved & reload fixed it.

The problem (for me at least) is that if you declare something as ethically dubious you don't restrict it to yourself. Not as long as you explicitly say so. You automatically project it onto everybody else who min-maxes (in Deadfire). Ethics is not a personal thing, it's a consensus in society as a whole. Ifyou had said that you don't like it, that it's not your cup of tea, that it makes you feel uncomfortable - totally fine. But instead if one reads "ethically dubious" one can't help to feel judged. Saying that you find it ethically dubious is strong stuff. Way too strong for my taste. So bear with me while I rub it in. Using this phrasing either means you a) weren't fully aware of the impression this phrase would make - or b) that you think that you have higher moral standards than people who min-max (in a single player RPG which they play for their own amusement). I hope it wasn't the latter, but the latest "I never min-max" statement, albeit totally fine on its own, reinforces the impression of b). Which I find is a problematic, high-brow mindset to have in general. To be fair you already said that you only mean "ethically dubious for yourself" - but then whenever stuff like min-maxing and cheese comes up in the forums you (maybe unknowingly) send signals for b). As said earlier: some players like to build efficient "min-maxed" characters even more than they like to play them. Like they would build with Lego. Indirectly labeling this as ethically dubious - even if it wasn't meant that way - is not right. Maybe some people find this petty. But this is an important matter to me. You could tell from my first reaction on that matter. Same like the signals that get send when people say something along the lines of "why can't you control yourself? It's so easy to not abuse." I also don't think that this helps anybody in any way. Solution number 1 (only can intimidate once) sounds totally reasonable by the way.

Only if it's on GOG I will.

"Watcher, I find your lack of creativity... unsettling." - Aloth "The... Republic... wishes you would name it something more... fitting, Watcher." - Pallegina "Well ain't that name a hoot!" - Xoti "Island Name, Watcher? I think you nailed it." - Maia "Rest assured cap'n, I ain't seen nothin' so uncreative since me time aboard the Big Boat. And, let me tell ya about it..." - Serafen "Like the ebb and flow of the ocean... that name... crashes over me..." - Tekēhu You forgot one...

I did that by accident. One of the permanent marks my Watcher has made on the world is he discovered the island of "Island Name".
