In SA we have a new law that allows 12-17 young people to get a vaccine without their parents consent https://www.thesouthafrican.com/lifestyle/health-fitness/breaking-children-teenagers-12-17-age-group-vaccinated-vaccination-south-africa-when-consent-pfizer-risks-side-effects-latest-news/ I support vaccines but I have an issue where any government decides it knows whats best for any family when it comes to these types of decisions Its the same reason I understand parents objecting to anything like Critical Race Theory being taught at schools to their kids

One of my nieces is 13 and attends an excellent public sector school. In the province they live they just had a Maths Challenge where schools let the best Math kids compete in tests. Their were initially 2500 kids who competed in a test and then the top 400 competed in another round And out of this 400 they awarded and recognised the top 100. 10 got gold, 20 got silver and the rest go bronze. My niece got bronze and we very proud of her, do you think this is wrong and all 2500 kids should have got bronze medals? How does this help anyone when our societies no longer want to recognize gifted kids or excellence when it comes to different subjects and skills?

Mamie I watched the video again and I have some concerns. Part of the video mentions " thinking about him make you see him as more than an attacker "...that sounds dangerously like SJW corrupted ideology under the facade of " empathy " I also get very worried when any East European countries, that produce excellent games I enjoy like Witcher and Inquisitor , start trying to integrate this type of thinking into their games. Its not your strong point and its not what you famous for We already have enough abominations and mutations of certain games from our friends in the USA where suddenly " a hot women in bikini chainmail armor " is sexist or something similar The last thing we want from East European gaming companies is where " we have to consider the historical injustice and colonialism the Vampire faced " that explains why it has created an army of undead from the living

Mamie I am going to financially support this game because I am impressed with the overall quality of East European games and the commitment to gaming from East European gamers We must never forget who our friends are in life

What do you mean Dark ?

Nothing is sacred anymore Hoonding....I agree What are we going to do, I think the best thing is to complain on some gaming forum but watch the series anyway because we dont want to make a real stand about this and boycott this show

https://www.thedrinksbusiness.com/2021/10/furious-diner-left-stunned-by-37000-bill-at-salt-baes-new-london-restaurant/ Imagine having the money to spend about $51K on a meal.....a single meal for 4 people ( and it doesnt matter they are complaining. They still ordered it ) Now that is outrageous and an example of ostentatious and egregious consumption

I thought you were opposed to the death penalty ?

Latest update and great as usual, I like the idea of abandoned buildings becoming faction aligned and I think the Mario influence explains why movement is so much fun in this franchise

Stick to PC gaming, its the superior overall choice to consoles

Yes same as me, the " beautiful people " got more attention at school and everyone hung on the words of the rugby and other sports captains in assembly But thats the reality of early life and its temporary and more because of " school culture ". Its okay because things can work out differently when it comes to life outside of school and we not defined necessarily by our failures or successes at school

Gorthfuscious !!! I cant believe you are openly talking about how you rejected " being a clever kid " !!! And you not embarrassed by rejecting your privlidege, you anarchists ...what are our societies going to do with you

I think you are misunderstanding me because maybe you have had his debate with others and you are sensitive to what you think I am saying? I am not saying " only some kids can or should succeed in life ". School is a foundation and what you learn and believe at school has a huge impact to your life choices and journey afterwards But life is about different strengths and different skills that some people are good at and some people simply arent. And some people arent prepared to work hard or make the right choices So why create school environments where we dont like to recognize or incentivize brilliant, hard working or gifted students ? Life is not about guaranteed equality and you cant legislate this reality away

Austrian\German food is overall better than the Nordic countries because of the vast range from authentic German fine dining like rabbit to pigeon to incredible pork dishes to normal delicious food like sausages, eisbein and normal meat dishes. Do you know Germany " boasts 10 three-Michelin-star restaurants, as many as Italy and more than the UK and Scandinavia combined " , taken from the article below. But Austrian cuisine is also very advanced and popular, I have eaten more Austrian food than German because of our family skiing holidays https://www.elitetraveler.com/features/best-restaurants-in-germany But the Nordic countries are making huge progress and they have some unique food I have never eaten like cloud berries, fudge cheese and reindeer and other game specific to the region

@Azdeus and @Pidesco I just watched an excellent episode on Swedish food and specifically food in Stockholm. Its on Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmerman and it highlighted some delicious and at times unusual Swedish food but I would definitely try it all https://www.travelchannel.com/shows/bizarre-foods/episodes/stockholm Unusual food like Reindeer testicles that look great when they served because they looked like thick slices of salami and they can be deep-fried

I hear you, let me add the normal wings at Hooters have bones and I order both but I agree their is something more authentic with wings with bones plus the bones add flavor when they get cooked 8-10 is the normal starter amount but thats not a main meal wings portion surly unless your wings are bigger? I normally order 16 wings at a time

I love wings as you know, many did you order and how many do you normally or can eat ? I can eat a lot, easily 20-30 over an hour or so with a few alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages. And its even easier to eat lots in a festive sports bar or place like Hooters which makes some of the BEST boneless wings with the hottest sauce available called 911 and a blue cheese dip ....nothing better

I hope you sent it back or complained, if you accept that kind of tardy cooking then you end up just unintentionally continuing it because often restaurants dont do this on purpose

I wanted to not comment on this particular liberal sentiment because I know its generally well meaning but its been bothering me since yesterday and felt I had to comment It really can lead to the wrong impression about life, for some young people, being created which I am sure none of us want. We are not all born equal or gifted in life and thats okay, you should focus on your strengths and sometimes all school environments do unintentionally miss out on finding those strengths for a variety pf reasons and its not the teachers fault But this idea of everyone being gifted reminds of this new notion where some schools no longer recognize some kids athletic prowess as being superior athletes and everyone gets a " reward " at the end of some event instead of only the best athletes. I was terrible at sports at school and frankly I am fine with that reality, why should I get a " reward " for being good at sports when I was wasnt? I was academic and good at things like debating and speech and drama and I got recognised for that which is what you would expect surly ? And why should this be a concern in RL ? Because if all kids start being told you " all equally gifted " then it can unintentionally undermine the reality of how our societies incentivize you to work and achieve your sales target or other similar performance metric. In other words you need to make certain choices in life and work towards clearly defined goals to achieve many things. But I fail to see how some generalized view that their is no such thing as exceptionalism helps ? So in summary you do have some brilliant\gifted students who have some precocious skills but not everyone and thats normal and that shouldnt impact their life journey

Why you shouting? I was just asking

Make sure you dont forget to update us where reasonably possible

But we have the most important update about this game ....and we should all be celebrating that Its not being cancelled

Please tell me you are using a Microsoft OS for your work PC\Laptop ?

Hurlshot are you sure the article is total garbage, its standard ZeroHedge which means their will always be certain truths, facts and relevant parts in the article but then they make these sweeping inaccurate predictions or false\exaggerated corollaries about certain realities or events I know this because I have been reading Darks ZeroHedge articles about the US economy and global economy for the last 10-12 months or so and I came to realize how the articles get created and edited. Their are some clever people working their who are skilled at framing the more conservative view of topics in a reasonable way but leaning towards " gloom and doom " prognostications of the current liberal world and its economic policies But sometimes what they talk about is true or a real concern to people throughout the world and its important to at least understand what they saying because then you will understand the concerns and anxieties that exist from the right and once these concerns are understood you can easily address them or at least address them with people who do want the truth and are not intransigent. Because you get people in the US on the far left and far right who have no interest in compromise or having a rational debate but its not everyone So for example the article mentions the following and its taken from the link below. Would you agree this teacher needs to be fired immediately for this type of bias and spreading of misinformation ? ( and he is white not that this should influence your view ) Recently, a Virginia teacher denounced classroom discipline as a form of “white supremacy.” In a short video, Blacksburg High School teacher Josh Thompson described the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports — or PBIS — as “white supremacy with a hug”: “The idea of just sitting quiet and being told stuff and taking things in a passive stance is not a thing that’s ‘in’ with many cultures. So if we’re positively enforcing these behaviors, we are by extension positively enforcing elements of white culture, which therefore keeps whiteness at the center, which is the definition of white supremacy.” https://roanoke.com/news/local/education/blacksburg-teacher-calls-school-disciplinary-system-white-supremacy-in-viral-video/article_48b97df8-1660-11ec-b125-67b3f7a7e3a0.html

Its actually a good way of connecting with your voters and potential voters, its like a US townhall but normally less full of belligerent and argumentative people Its an important part of how UK Democracy works, people appreciate the personal interaction This was a craven and appalling attack on the fabric of UK Democracy, it wont harm it of course and Democracy will continue and these meetings will just be policed better Im sorry for his family, he had 5 kids
