Frozen pizzas in SA are always terrible, they never come out like they look in the photos and they dont taste anything like fresh pizza

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4956319-trump-says-hell-let-rfk-jr-go-wild-on-health-and-food-in-potential-second-term/ This is a few days old "Former President Trump said Sunday that he would let Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “go wild” in dealing with issues related to food, medicine and health in a potential second administration. I’m going to let him go wild on health. I’m going to let him go wild on the food. I’m going to let him go wild on the medicines,” Trump told supporters at Madison Square Garden. " @Lexx This is a good example of how Trump could really harm and erode a US institution like health. Put an anti-vaxxer in charge Its so absurd you must laugh

The difference is the Taliban havent changed since there formation and dont want to change unlike both groups involved in the "The Troubles " Its like saying is AQ or ISIS ever going to change and believe in meaningful negotiations or compromise in global conflicts they actively involved in? Extremist and fundamentalists groups don't often deviate from there core beliefs and how they act on them "The Troubles " ended because both sides had leadership prepared to compromise and that was influenced by the large numbers of Irish people who were tired of the decades of endless conflict

https://rockstarintel.com/red-dead-redemption-releases-on-pc/ RDR1 is finally released on PC this week, Im so happy I have waited over a decade to play this game The game runs at up to 4K resolution and 144FPS. If you have supported hardware to run the game at such quality and performance that is. This is a huge step up over the original game and even the PS4 port running on PS5. Previously, Red Dead Redemption was stuck at 30FPS on all platforms until a 60FPS patch for the PS4 version (when running on PS5) came out last year. Graphics settings such as draw distance, shadow quality and more can be changed. Red Dead Redemption on PC will also support aspect ratios such as Ultrawide (21:9) and Super Ultrawide (32:9). There will also be HDR10 support if you have a compatible display. Fans can opt to use a keyboard and mouse over controller if they wish to do so.

I think thats a definite consideration, Israel doesnt have endless resources or public appetite for war in Lebanon without some sort of achievable goals If Hezbollah agrees to stop firing rockets and withdraws from the southern Lebanon region Im sure Netanyahu will take that and claim it as a " win" ...until the next time The US elections are nearly over and that will play a huge part in how Israel addresses Iran, I cant imagine they can fight ongoing wars in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran?

https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-826921 There could be an end to the conflict in Lebanon, I dont think Hezbollah is the same as Hamas with the whole " to the last Palestinian", most Lebanese and the Lebanese government never wanted a war with Israel "Despite Hezbollah’s declarations throughout the war, the terrorist organization has agreed to drop its demands and is ready to withdraw beyond the Litani River, Lebanon's MTV website, which is associated with Hezbollah opponents, reported Wednesday night. The report indicated that Hezbollah agreed to establish a demilitarized zone, with all its weapons to be moved beyond the river. It was also claimed that Hezbollah no longer insists on being directly connected to events in Gaza. MTV Lebanon noted that a three-day ceasefire draft is being discussed in Lebanon, and American officials are expected to present it to Israel in the coming days. It was also noted that Amos Hochstein, Biden's envoy to the region, told Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati that he sensed a change in Netanyahu's position, which gave him hope regarding the contacts.

@Wormerine Wormie its got Romance, does that make it immediately better " And don't get me started on the romance dialogue. If you choose to do some very light flirting with a character once or twice, the game tries to fast track you into a relationship—complete with all the cliches. In a single hour I had not one but two stammering, bashful romantic encounters that turned the game into an antediluvian romcom. You know the ones: the "It's a date… no, I mean, not a date date" variety. There are some solid romantic encounters, eventually, but you have to trudge through a lot of rote rubbish to see them."

When you have played it make a detailed post about your experiences in this thread Im interested in an objective opinion

And again can you give examples of what you mean? Project 2025 is 900 page document, Im interested in what you think Trump will implement that will impact the entire world and could even create another great depression? Just 2-3 examples for clarity and be specific?

I will definitely play it but in a couple of years when I can mod it and when its on a sales special I play all Bioware games eventually

Every country changes as years go on and domestic and geopolitical events of the time influence that and then governments respond to that For example the US now is not the US of the Cold War and or the US when 9/11 happened The point Im making is another 4 years of Trump winning or Harris winning is not going to fundamentally change the US or the world But maybe give some examples so I can understand what you mean?

I dont think most statistics or some university study should ever be more credible or relevant than actual lived experience of someone who lives in a country. Its all about context Politics is typically about grandstanding and theatre and you hear complaints about things that often dont represent the reality for everyone In South Africa its common to hear things like " we the MOST unequal society in the world " as if we the worst country in the world around the reality of our economy and what that translates to for all citizens It doesnt really matter who wins this US election, the US is going to be fine and still standing 4 years from now despite the " end of the USA" predictions from both sides if the other side wins

The irony with any pro-Palestinian American voters is Trump will support Netanyahu around any escalation around Iran and will be even less concerned about the Israeli strategy in Gaza So they dont have to vote for Harris but then they mustn't complain about what happens in the ME if Trump wins

Im not going to predict, its too close and the final influence from undecided voters too uncertain Exciting election in any regard
