Links? You understand if I dont take your word for it especially with the " since the Coalition killed at least four times as many civilians 'accidentally' in Mosul than Russia killed 'deliberately' in Aleppo " Its an absurd suggestion that the Iraq invasion was conducted in the same way as the entire Russian bombing campaign in Syria. But I am keen to read your evidence on Mosul, I am will make it easy for you Also which city in Iraq did the US bomb to the ground like Aleppo, I must have missed that one?

Interesting technology, its got some real advantages. But I wonder if its the US or Israel who created it?

Not for Aleppo and the death of thousands of civilians for the Russia bombing campaign https://www.rferl.org/a/eu-softens-sanctions-threat-against-russia-over-syria-aleppo-bombings/28066644.html Maybe you can post links confirming these sanctions ? Also my point was more about the " outrage " commonly expressed by Western mistakes but Russia killing of civilians in Syria doesnt raise much concern Its inconsistent with how some people choose to respond

https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2378385803832/new-zealand-police-arrest-pair-trying-to-enter-auckland-with-large-amount-of-kfc NZ is descending into a criminal nightmare......when will it end? Now police have been forced to arrest people smuggling KFC!!! The depravity of the criminal mind never ceases to concern me @Gorth You lucky you live in Australia, at least you dont have to deal with KFC cartels !!!

Im on level 20 in AC Odyssey and still not bored, I have become proficient in naval combat and hand to hand combat is great fun. I also love the overall artistic design, Ubisoft really does an amazing job at creating realistic historical worlds that are beautiful to explore. And I havent had 1 crash that I can recall so the game is just incredibly stable

Also it doesnt matter if civilians are killed by the US and its allies by a mistaken target or a legitimate target but with civilians in the vicinity the response will always be the same by the Zora\Comrade brigade. " Outrage and disgust " because ostensibly innocents die and this bothers them But other countries can kill innocents in the ME and you wont hear anything from most of the world when it comes to outrage . Russia bombed the city of Aleppo to the ground in Syria to help Assad win the war, thousands of Syrian civilians died , hospitals were directly targeted due to the Russian intervention and Putin doesnt even bother to justify it and it wasnt a mistake unlike this tragedy. So yes the inconsistency with how certain people respond to events when Western countries are involved in collateral damage is nothing new You want to see something truly jarring, take a look at these images from Aleppo during the Russian intervention https://www.theguardian.com/world/gallery/2016/oct/11/destruction-in-aleppo-in-pictures

They added something new in the tv series https://fansided.com/2019/08/02/stephen-king-the-stand-new-ending-cbs-all-access/

Who said the context was an excuse to the killing of the civilians? But I would have assumed the background to the tragedy and loss of US soldiers would have been part of the discussion because its not the like the US said " lets kill civilians and children " since it happened as a response

What do the students think about the 13 US soldiers and 130 Afghan civilians killed by ISIS at the airport that led to this tragedy. It must be tough covering this events in context with young people ?

@Gorth Gorthfuscious whats the general view from Oz citizens about the decision to buy the nuclear subs from the US and UK instead of France. Whats your media saying and do people support the government decision ?

Good to hear from you again GD and Im glad you may have met someone, see how it goes and if it works out it works out. But its definitely worth seeing how it goes. You sound much better and thats also good news I remember in 1993 when I did my ill-conceived military service a black soldier quoted something to me that Theodore Roosevelt said that I never knew and I have never forgotten (he was one of the few people who became a friend to me during that time which was ironic considering the decades of Apartheid ) Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.”

Thats hilarious, Im going to share that

What !!! You cant be serious....it was brilliant and they even added a new part at the end ?

The most important question about Romance in RPG is are their aesthetically pleasing companions ( translates to being hot ) that you want to Romance and are they interesting with their companion quests and personal views ? Those are always the most important factors when I pursue optional Romance arcs

https://www.visiontimes.com/2021/07/04/deaths-hospital-vaccinated-uk.html @Zoraptor and others that understand much about this virus What do you make of this link, basically someone sent it to me based on a view that " vaccinations lead to more deaths or an equal number of deaths ". I dont understand if its true based on what the article is saying?

Nice, you have friendly neighboors....is this one of people you sometimes visit and drink with?

English breakfast time, nothing better on a Sunday. Today its eggs, beef sausage, bacon, potato rostis, tomato and toast ....another almost Vegan but delicious meal

l love it when its bad weather on the weekends because I can stay inside and game all day with no guilt that I should be doing something outside

The article raises some good points, I have very bad experiences with unions in SA especially when they lead to the public or private company not being able to function properly or when unreasonable and egregious union demands ultimately destroy any hope of profitability and the company closes down or disinvests in the country like we see in SA in the mining sector. But I agree with the article in comments like below but this should be normal in labor laws and work conditions and not require a union "The existence of the union has been very helpful for making the lives of everyone at Massive better in the sense that pressure got us sick days, parental leave and other benefits not out of the goodness of Massive’s heart but in an attempt to resist full unionization,” said the rep, noting that Massive has not fully negotiated its collective bargaining agreement yet, but is most of the way there and is already able to operate in many ways a union would under Swedish law. But the rep also doesn’t believe a union is necessarily the solution to Activision Blizzard’s urgent troubles. For one, they can take months or years to establish — even in a country like Sweden, where large union confederations are a primary means of enforcing labor rights (nearly 70 percent of Swedish citizens are in unions)" And also I dont think Blizzard has shutdown their entire office in California?

I agree, it was a terrible tragedy. These things sadly occur in war zones and countries like Afghanistan

One of the advantages of moving to Cpt, because it hasnt been financial, is easy access to walks and nature reserves within 20 minutes of where I live. These nature reserves are ubiquitous and all around the base of Table Mountain Today we went to a walk in Constantia reserve, some pictures below. This include a house owned by some fortunate person who lives on the border of the reserve and a photo of the sea from a viewpoint

Im not crazy about the voiceover but I have no issue with the overall plot with Jax having to convince factions of the new existential threat....thats normal PB design where you align with factions

https://www.investorvillage.com/smbd.asp?mb=4288&mn=682097&pt=msg&mid=22403445 Here is an really interesting link about a study that possibly explains causes for long term symptoms of Corona, in summary " According to the findings, there is an antibody that appears weeks after the initial infection and "attacks and disrupts a key regulator of the immune system." Researchers and scientists have been trying to understand the cause of COVID-19 patients experiencing symptoms for longer. Around 30% of patients with the virus deal with "lingering fatigue, brain fog and shortness of breath."

Okay that makes sense and are you not worried about getting Corona and then getting more sick than you would be if you hadnt taken the vaccine? In other words I am not saying you cant get the virus with vaccines but the evidence is real that 95 % of the hospitalizations and deaths are people without vaccinations https://healthfeedback.org/claimreview/unvaccinated-individuals-now-account-for-the-vast-majority-of-covid-19-hospitalizations-and-deaths-in-the-u-s-according-to-available-data/

Skarpie I want to ask you an important question, what would you need to see or believe to convince you to take the Corona vaccine. I am not trying to change your mind based on my reasons I just want to know what will change your mind? The reason I ask is SA is only at about 30 % vaccination as we have many people who dont want to take and I am trying to see how to change this. Also this is global problem for many counties with the US at about 55 % and Poland more or less the same and we not gaining traction so its time to try something different and ask " how can can help convince people who dont want to take the vaccines " ?
