Fish oil, tumeric and glutamine chondroitin are great for joint health and keeping inflammation down. Exercise will also help.

What Are You Playing Now: The New Beginning Thread
Orogun01 replied to Amentep's topic in Computer and Console
Fair enough I wouldn't go to AA to complain about how ****ty alcohol is I would be saying that it is awesome. Bad analogy, but my was don't go places and rub it in people's faces that you don't have problems. That's just dickish, it's like me going to Africa and telling everyone how much better my life is. Its that analogy better Hurl? Are the African children like gamers that encounter issues? Ahhh.... just ignore me I don't know what I"m saying. -
What Are You Playing Now: The New Beginning Thread
Orogun01 replied to Amentep's topic in Computer and Console
There should be an Internet law that dictates that every thread discussing technical issues of a game and asking for a solution will inevitably have one poster proclaiming that they never had any problems and they will offer no solution. Its like someone going to AA and saying "My life is perfect, I never had any problems" -
What Are You Playing Now: The New Beginning Thread

What's causing it is that you're playing Syndicate, it was released in what we fondly recall as the Ubisoft buggy years. -
Sorry, I honestly found your post a bit vague...you can say all you want about my reading comprehension and I can rant about your powers of communication. But how about we agree that every reply isn't necessarily a contradiction and I was just adding to your point?

It is not such clean comparison as the Nazis had a clearly stated goal with regards to the Jewish population, we don't have that in the US as it is most often a confluence of interested parties that act with disregard. Institutions in America are present in all sides of the spectrum and will rise up given a chance and enough funds, but they don't have the unilateral power that the Nazis enjoyed. Kinda of a good idea, that balance of power that the founders set.

Ok, for one thing context comes down to presentation. I can give you the hard cold facts and let you make up your own mind or inject my own conclusion and bend the facts to suit it, conveniently omitting what doesn't agree. More so, "improve the future" it's a sociopolitical goal, not a scientific one (not purely scientific) the problem is that a political movement requires the hyperbole of propaganda to reach a maximum audience. So you have a very biased message; without all the facts and nuance, being interpreted to the unaware masses. Even if your intentions are good and the result its good, it is bound to have unintended consequences, like most every action in life. Partly the reason I brought out WW2 is that it is a very publicized historical event that has been heavily politicized (Godwin's law is a good example of the cultural impact the narrative has had) It paints the Allies in an absolute good light and Hitler as the worst thing ever. The reality it's more nuanced; for example, British bombers would attack German villages and cities that had been converted into POW camps. Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five is a good account of the firebombing on Dresden, that has been criticized as a retaliatory attack by Britain, that means that camps that housed Jewish civilians were bombed by the Allies. Additionally, supply lines were bombed by the allies that were the lifelines to these camps; so the starvation of Jewish prisoners may also have been the result of Allies actions. To my original point, once you change history to tie it to a political goal as soon as the true historical facts come out it brings doubt to that goal. No matter how good intended it might be.

This might sound weird but there's actually some merit to it. The post war years heavily propagandized the events; they still do, numbers were inflated, there was little study done to justify some of the wild claims that some people made. All in all, I can't ascribe any institutional malice to it; even though there are institutions keen on protecting against any study, but there's been enough changes and reasonable arguments to cast some doubt about the common narrative. History is a science, it is meant to be an iterative process of study, discovery and speculation, not a solid narrative that serves political purposes. I'm looking at you History Channel with all your Hitler nonsense.

I wish I could like your post twice. I know history is always looked through the lens of politics but it would be nice to look at it as an objective science and not project theories. There is however a real danger in rewriting history for political ends as it will create a lack of trust once the objective truth is discovered. I mean, a lot of people mistrust the Holocaust not because of antisemitism but because they're surprised to find that Hitler wasn't a child molesting sociopath that wore shoes made out of human leather.

There are no Spanish Canarians and no Moroccans but I understand that people think every country in Africa is full of black people.

I find the lack of images in this thread disturbing.

Only if one of the blacks is an Alien that loves baseball. Although, I don't think that it would be crazy to say that there are elements involved that want an escalation of the violence and to recruit more to their side. Communist agitators and bullies have been a thing since the Russian revolution.

So your solution is to democratize violence? As much as I like self dependence someone still need to come pic up the bodies.... and enforce reasonable laws and stuff.

The police have to file reports of any incidents with weapons discharge, they don't have to report their numbers but the FBI which has access to their data does report them. Although I would like to see mandatory department reporting, I would like to know if I'm at risk of being shot down by the police. OTOH, people always misunderstand statistical analysis and most don't even know what methodology means. Releasing those numbers would put police under unnecessary scrutiny from activists and we would end up with defunct police departments like we have now and a rise in "justified" crime. That said, the police, the military, doctors they're all humans. Some will be good some bad some strong and others will break. Training does not remove humanity.

Did he rape anybody? Are Neotounus people to be consigned to isolation because they look underage? As far as I can make of it, he had the misfortune of being in conventions where alcohol and overly sensitive people were present. A bad sex proposal is no reason to treat a man like a rapist.

Oh my God he was drunk and took some women to a room and when they said no he left them be....**** this industry and **** the **** that are bending the knee to these lunatics. Why the **** is a private adult interaction that ended in a mutual agreement enough to kick a man out of his job. I get the sense that this is going to stick with me and when the pendulum swings the other way, despite my better nature I'm going to let my resentment get the better of me. For now I think I'm not interested in this game anymore and I will cancel my pre order. The low quality I could stand since the first game was a flawed gem, but the pandering just gets to me.

I'm I going crazy or did someone changed my post?

@Gromnir: To be fair, this thread started August of last year. I doubt people keep that close track of what they have posted.
