Kanie how did ancient man play RPG....no one thinks to ask this question

Sure, its not a surprising development that African or ME countries have a Toyota, or similar manufacturer, dealer selling vehicles. This is normal in most countries But this has nothing to do with fueling war or somehow holding the likes of Toyota responsible for how ISIS gets their vehicles

Thanks Elerond, what a good link I am so glad you recognised what Hoonding was talking about because he normally posts cryptic or confusing comments that some people assume is just trolling but its normally linked to a real event or some historical truth. But of course he often then creates his own " truth " about these events which sometimes is some really hilarious example of race baiting or blaming Colonialism\Whiteness ...but he is funny

I think you and I may be on the same page if I understand your point but I am not sure exactly what you mean by " Toyota blitzkrieg " I assume this is about solutions to destroying the Taliban ?

I am seriously considering creating a separate thread where I am looking for feedback and personal stories from all members about what advice they can give others about the best way to get an effective ( and this is a real topic because one of the current global challengers is the fact that some degrees dont help you get a job that creates a sustainable revenue stream) university degree and how to able to fund it and not be left with crushing debt. Because as I mentioned I am well aware how not having pay for degree is a huge relief So in your example would you have been able to go to University without that initial athletic scholarship ? And then obviously you worked hard at school and you were academic and did well enough to qualify for a legal degree but how much did that allow you to study law .....or did you initially study something else? So what I mean is did the athletic scholarship automatically grant you access to study law without the initial school requirement or did you still have to achieve certain final grade 12 marks before you could quality for an athletic bursary ?

I also find myself watching these shows at times .....they do fascinate me and they always present such credible evidence but then I wonder if you do your own research is it true and what do other people think about the reason for certain ancient examples ? And I have done that on several occasions where I feel compelled to pause the show and do about 30 minutes Internet research to assess of veracity of what they talking about it. And I always find other credible theories generally which is normal....yet it kind of ruins the experience of the show so I normally stop doing it in the future But sometimes the examples of alien intervention has to be confirmed because of the significance of the suggestion, for example the idea that the pyramids were " definitely " built by aliens because it was impossible for man at the time to have created structures with such precision using the resources at the time This has been proven to be absolutely false, Egyptologists have confirmed many times that the ancient Egyptians understood how to transfer blocks of stone and did understand the architecture that created the Pyramids so their is no mystery to " how the pyramids were created " Anyway no need to research these shows because it just destroys the fun side of what they saying

Gromnir did you get a bursary for University or did you pay for it yourself ? Also when you worked at school what did you use the money for. I always think of this reality and how young people do sometimes have to get part time jobs in school and I thinks it both unfair yet I understand the necessity University debt I know is a bugbear and my degree was paid for by family as was all my siblings and we were fortunate , I always admire and respect how many students have to pay for their own debt yet I know it can be a burden once you qualified. But I still stand by the view that it can be done with a structured payment program but it would be nice if student debt could be written off once 50 % is paid in all countries ? I am just trying to find a way that anyone who has to pay for their degree and once they qualified is given some relief and allowed to be debt free of the original loan

Gorthfuscious why you making assumptions? Skarpen may be Uighur, he could a refugee ? @Skarpen Are you a Uighur? Its okay if you are ....we all respect all opinions and feedback

The entire potential collapse of Afghanistan really means some civil war until the legitimate government is bankrupt. I imagine this nightmare scenario where you have only Kabul and the local region in the hands of the government and rest of the country under the loose control of the Taliban. But it will be some stalemate as the government still have an air force and other military hardware I know I said that the US leaving was understandable but Biden cant just watch the country fail. It would reflect very baldy on his legacy .....especially when you consider the argument that Democrats stand for human rights, refugee rights, BLM and other rights. The reality of the killing of educated Afghan women and the bombings of the schools created for women wont be a nice situation to be responsible for if you Biden if Kabul falls So I would consider a deployment of US troops but then again " when will it end " once that happens So its a terrible situation and I dont have a solution

But come on lets be honest, you dont mind one party states and no Democratic institutions like freedom of speech You openly support China and thats fine, its your choice and your opinion and its good to be honest. But now we cant be worried about the collapse of the USA due to chaos and fascism because its got a long to go before its anything like China.....when it gets to that level we must all get worried

I must say you have an interesting gaming strategy but its works for you and I find its easy to sometimes take a 24 hour break from a game and then I come back but I generally always finish the game. Also I tend to RP most games which means I immersive myself in the game. And I use to be a DM for about 12 years in the AD&D Forgotten Realms and I was very fortunate because I realized I have this huge imagination and I use to be able create games for the party without needing much maps, detailed events and just the main monsters written down. But for everything else I did from my memory and imagination. Which means when I play PC games and I RP I can really have fun and get into the narrative .....so I prefer keeping to one main game at a time

Okay so you also didnt finish it and you right about the overall experience . The best way to describe it is its like bubblegum, its fun and funky but I feel I can stop playing it and not feel like I let anyone down. I will make a decision tomorrow When you say 2-3 games do you play the same genre and what would you typically play ? I do have a online game, RDR2 , which I logon and play 4-5 week. I still really enjoy its and its nice to play an MMO or online game outside my primary game

Yes but now you are seeing my point, the Muslim ban was not all Muslims. It was certain countries, this is what Gromnir is not understanding and when you look at the list below they are not even all Muslim countries that have any kinds of Islamic extremism. So its important to understand the list of countries and also I can give you valid reasons why these countries should be on US watch list or definitely not allowed to fly to the USA because they very hostile to the USA. So the actual ban that was framed as an extremist decision you can position this decision as one about state security. If you look at the list below Chad shouldn't on then list but the others you can see the risk. Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria,Yemen,Chad,North Korea, Venezuela And I am not saying this ban made sense, of course it didnt but to suggest it was a Muslim ban also cannot be true. Several countries on this list aren't even Muslim !!!

@pidesco @gorth are either of you guys available for maybe 20 minutes so I can try to explain something about the Muslim ban in the USA. Of course I would also need you to be interactive and if you dont agree just let me know like usual. And if you dont agree then I wont go back to Gromnir with the updated story Its a really interesting story if you want to know Trumps ME policies but I also understand if you not keen or we can do it tomorrow ?

Gromnir you are sounding a little annoyed. Its not my fault you are not seeing my point but I am also failing to explain my point which could be the reason you are not agreeing with what am I am trying to explain This is an important point so I am going to try to explain my point to someone else and if they understand it then I will come back to you.

I may be misunderstanding your concern but their is a huge difference between someone demanding I prove I am white which I would be offended about unless they can explain why its necessary ? But taking the vaccine is about your health and you do your part to stop the vaccine and reduce the spread.....I am envious.....you fortunate

Would you suggest to Shady that he should donate one of his kidney to science ....they pay good money and Shady is in good shape normally so it should be no issues

Sorry to hear, that can create some uncomfortable body temperature changes. But I reckon after 24 hours your body temperature will be fine and then you will feel much better. I cant sleep if my body temperature is too high ....but I normally shower before sleeping

Yes and Gorthfuscious I am glad you have noticed how certain US companies are mandating vaccines to return to work. The CEO of JPMorgan is 100% correct in his new requirement . He said basically said " if people can go to restaurants they can come back to work " And I also feel some people have been taking advantage of the lack of oversight and normal weekly update meetings. Its just not realistic to have people sitting at home and getting paid for less productivity Anyway I am more than ready to return to work after my second vaccine, 15 September

Thanks for the advice , keep giving me tips as you remember them. I have no idea why I decided to start installing DS but I really think I will start playing tomorrow . We have a public holiday tomorrow so its a good day to start my journey But I need to tell you something so if I am delayed at playing DS you will know the reason. I am still busy with Kingdoms of Amalur and I am about 27 hours in. I have a very strict gaming policy that basically says " I cant just start playing a game if I am still busy with another game " I am enjoying Amalur but its not deeping compelling but it is fun. I am finding the combat so easy....its fun killing everything but I dont feel challenged. So I am thinking its okay if I want to stop tomorrow, I feel I dont need to finish it because you can argue I have spent 30 hours playing it and thats fine right ?

, you make me laugh But on a serious note it shouldn't matter what people think if you support Trump, it is your choice and only you can decide. But can you share why you support Trump, their are many different reasons but they can differ from person to person ? Trumps presidency did have several successful policies but you cant ignore how he handled the pandemic. But I am well aware how he connects with people And another important point is Trump could be the next Republican presidential candidate....its not what I want but it has nothing to do with me.

Would you support that as a solution but I assume you mean arresting people who refuse to take vaccines ? You and I must on the same page because that is one of the solutions that cannot be ignored....but you dont want to have to use the rule of law and order But yes it can be considered if we cannot achieve citizens being compliant and ignoring how the virus spreads

I might be playing DS1 from tomorrow, do you think I should ....I dont think I have ever played this type of JRPG before? And I will definitely use a controller

Oh I forgot to ask you something, who do identify with ethically in Sweden ? Are you Swedish or Portuguese, it must be exciting to integrate into a country The reason I am asking do you have any interest in the history of the end of the Portuguese colonies in Africa and how SA was able to absorb thousands of Portuguese immigrants fleeing from Mozambique Its a good historical story but if you not really into that part of history than that is also fine because I dont mind posting what happened but only if you want to read it? I dont want to waste my own time because their is no critical reason you should be interested

Holy smoke that is one detailed link, I will go through it in detail later I never thought that would be a valid reason for black people supporting Trump , I have never seen that in SA and I like to think I have all types of racism and strange reasons for people just being offensive. I am not saying you wrong because I dont know. The only concern I have is I cant think of why you would see that in RL especially when its well known about Trumps bigotry? And as you know that most of the African American community was loyal to the Democrats and many of them did say Trump was racist Because the other reason that some black people were Trump supporters was mentioned by some people and I was surprised but end of the day every person in any Democracy can vote for anyone they want. So the reasons I remember in different interviews were The Democrats have not done anything to change the lives of African Americans in much of the USA. So its time for a change Trump offers a better understanding of the economy and will improve the lives of black people Democrats have taken advantage of the support of the African American communities and we feel used and not taken seriously Trump is not racist, its the media creating a false narrative and always playing the race card I know how annoying this must come across....but it will interesting if you can respond because sometimes I have no answers myself to certain questions and realities. But its a few things that I avoid
