Amentep whats your opinion on changing the race of superhero characters from white to black? I know this has been discussed in the past but I want to get your current view I am opposed to it because I dont think you need to change any established character for something to be financially successful. Black Panther is testimony to that outcome The entertainment industry should create new black superheroes and if the characters are memorable and exciting then the agency and success will be decided by peoples wallets the way it should be But I dont see the point of a black spider-man or black batman because the original characters werent black ?

Yes I agree, it would be a different military reality if the Russians were defending their country and their would be real and effective resistance But the reality of the US is since 9/11 it has trained, funded and honed its military in a way that makes them by far the most powerful military in the world. Ironically as much as we all hate wars and conflicts any country needs an "active " war to ensure it has combat experience During Apartheid the SA military spent decades in Angola and Namibia fighting the Soviet onslaught, and ensuring a buffer zone was created for SA, and until the late 1980's SA was considered to have one of worlds most well trained special forces because they use to deploy in small groups into the jungles of Angola for various reasons So its weird but you almost need war to be an effective military force

Another reality from Putins War is the ending of the suggestion that the Russian army would defeat the US in war. Obviously their wont be a war between the US and Russia, and Putin can be grateful for the reality of mutually assured destruction by nukes, because I dont think the Russia military would last a month against the US military in a "normal " war

I dont know how true that is but I do know its not in the best military interest of either Russia or Ukraine to attack cities controlled by the other side if you just consider the disastrous Russian military campaign

Open borders....you joking right ? Which country in the world has open borders, once you give me those examples I can at least compare that to the US reality?

Yes Im just exaggerating and making a joke But I would consider them worse than Trump but not because of those things which they cant and wont implement

Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren or anyone from the progressive left could be worse than Trump First thing they would do is make CRT mandatory at all schools and then immediately open the Mexico border to all immigrants and then pass legislation so that only non-Americans can he employed for the next 10 years in the interests of addressing inequality and system racism ...oh and dont forget they would " ban the guns " for sure

Similar but I dont want to play a porn game but rather a normal RPG with porn elements So in other words I dont want VR porn to be the main point of the game but rather a feature....like I always mention I like Romance but its not the most important component of a RPG

That sounds and looks great, nice one I cant wait for the day when VR technology allows us to have meaningful Romance arcs in RPG

Dont forget those white, socialist, self-hating, pseudo-slavs living in Western countries who blindly repeat all the Russian propaganda and still parrot this invasion was justified and about "denazification " We mustn't forget those white people

This is one of the most interesting and balanced links I have ever read about the numerous failures of the Russian military campaign in Ukraine. In summary these failures from the article include logistical failures and planning lack of morale and true belief in the campaign from Russian conscripts corruption within the Russian army losing the global media and information war the reality of underestimating the Western sanctions and the damage done the Russian economy

Not yet, we not seeing things like slavery and the open rape areas where basically any non-Sunni women were kept by ISIS to be raped by any ISIS militant at anytime in their camps and cities they controlled But I share your concern but we not their yet

My bad, I thought you were the English Monty from these forums. But you a different Monty Where do you live, sorry for the confusion

What do you mean English is not your first language, I always thought you were English as in born in the UK?

Did you learn Russian at school and when did you learn English and when did you learn your home language? I interested about different languages people speak and how did they learn them?

Bugie do you speak and or understanding Russian?

Why dont you buy a copy for me, I promise to play it and you know you can trust me

Elerond posted the same link and their are other sources that confirm the same appalling behavior from elements within the Russian army

Well done for voting, Im very concerned with the general voting apathy I am seeing throughout the world in mostly Western Democracies and especially among young people. And when I say young I mean >35 years old

Elerond can you think of anything worse than using children as human shields? Like I said earlier, just when I think the Russians cant be worse in their military strategy they prove me wrong and do something worse They learning from the Russians Their have been numerous stories of mass rape and civilians being executed At the end of Putins War some of these will definitely be true and thats where the War Crimes charges will come from

Yes it was a joke, Im glad you getting to know my sense of humor but its a relevant topic anyway around what you posted Women have always played a critical role in all societies not just Viking history. What I didnt realize from your link is that the idea of " shield maidens " is not confirmed in the sense the Viking warriors were all men. If you watch the excellent series Vikings you see quite often women Vikings fighting in various campaigns But that's just artistic license and shouldn't negate the other real contributions women have made in building and sustaining our societies Thats also another thing I agree with Jordan Peterson on, the idea that the history of Western countries is all about the oppression of women due to things like the historical Patriarchy is exaggerated and inaccurate in certain portrays of the role women played

Weekend time is cooked English breakfast time and one my favorite weekend pastimes Today Im have fried eggs, friend banana, tomato, chicken livers and toast

No, I dont remember. What happened and what was it like ?

Where do all the hot Viking women hang around, thats where you want to end up....forget the cold

Geez Gorthfuscious I am not sure your Viking ancestors who waged war and defeated much of the civilized world and discovered North America would have said " I cant invade the UK today fellow Vikings ...the water is too cold " You definitely not getting a seat at the eternal Valhalla feasting table with that attitude
