Good one, I never even thought about this type of joke and what she said This is what she apparently said on Twitter Nicki Minaj @NICKIMINAJ My cousin in Trinidad won’t get the vaccine cuz his friend got it & became impotent. His testicles became swollen. His friend was weeks away from getting married, now the girl called off the wedding. So just pray on it & make sure you’re comfortable with ur decision, not bullied

This is one of those debatable points and is nuanced but Milleys concern that Trump could somehow order some sort of nuclear action shouldnt be ignored as was raised by Woodward Considering the numerous " unconstitutional " things Trump did or wanted to do why do you think he should be punished now by the Biden presidency? I do support the reason you have trenchant structures in the military and what generals can or cant do but dont you think this is the exception? For example lets say in some nightmare scenario Trump wanted to nuke China at the end of his presidency .....dont you think this should have been ignored by the generals because of the global fallout and consequences ?

Last night I had a terrible night sleep with feverish and disruptive dreams about Nicki Minaj and today I feel like I have a hangover Vaccine sleep disorder are apparently common temporary symptoms with many people, I had no issues with my first jab And yesterday I was reading that Nicki Minaj said her cousin in Trinidad after getting vaccinated was suffering from sexual dysfunction so its clear where my subconscious mind got that part of my fever dreams from

Im about 35 hours into AC Odyssey and still in the "Ubisoft honeymoon " period, I am really enjoying killing mercenaries, cultists and animals. I am not particularly fond of Naval combat because the mechanics I find arent elegant and I seem to have to rely on ramming to defeat most enemies But so far so good

The majority of US generals have integrity and I am surprised you dont like Milley more because he specifically and prudently reached out to China to prevent an unintentional nuclear crisis if Trump went rogue after not accepting the 2020 election results Trump wants him charged for treason for contacting his equivalent general in the CCP This is according to Bob Woodwards latest book " Peril "

Its not so much that as its true that their were and are Saudis that supported AQ and Islamic extremism. But its not the official policy of Saudi Arabia to fund and support any Islamic extremist group as Saudi Arabia has also been targeted by the likes of AQ and ISIS since the beginning of the War on Terror. So the Saudis are an ally of the US in this conflict because they are also threatened https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_terrorist_incidents_in_Saudi_Arabia Also its unlikely you would find Iranian fundamentalists aligning with AQ and ISIS because these groups are Sunni Muslims and Iran is predominantly Shia But Iranian hardliners do target the US but its a different threat to likes of the Sunni extremist groups

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/5-takeaways-from-newsoms-big-win-in-californias-recall-election/ar-AAOrS4z Im glad Newsom won the Californian referendum resoundingly I honestly would have expected that considering California is a liberal, blue state and Elder suggested policies that seemed "un-California " for me So well done Democrat supporters for coming out in numbers

You never joke.....since when did you start joking

Now that you have scored the game 70/100 I understand your review in way that makes complete sense Because often with reviews all of us do is raise issues with the game and sometimes for people reading its the issues that you tend to focus on. Yet your overall view is positive which is what I want to hear because for me this can be a real factor is buying this game in the future But if you had scored the game 40/100 that could have subconsciously and consciously put me off buying the game unless I read another review that I enjoyed or highlighted game components that resonate with me It may sound unusual but I always consider the personal reviews of gamers on forums like this because I consider this forum a place where like minded gamers frequent so opinions and feedback matter And then we all have our personal preferences that are sometimes different but thats normal, for example you dont support or enjoy Elder Scroll games as much as me
-
This must be one of the longest and detailed posts I have ever read from you about a game and its very interesting so thanks for the details But what would you give the game out of 100 ? I wish everyone scored their gaming reviews out of 100 because I am a numbers person and I generally understand reviews based on a actual score .....weird but true because that is how my brain is wired

Sure, I hear you and also you and I have discussed how you personally feel about drone strikes generally and how this example is exactly what you talk about when you say drones are a bad strategy But let me give you an example of what I am talking about, read this link quickly https://edition.cnn.com/2021/05/09/asia/afghanistan-girls-school-attack-intl-hnk/index.html This stories have always been covered and raised on international media but in this specific example Comrade didn't post this link and no one expressed any outrage and sadness at the loss of 85 Afghan girls And I am not criticizing anyone on a personal level because this is what I mean by an established reaction that occurs in many countries by some people but they will only react if counties like the US are involved So in other words for Comrade when he posted the article about the drone strikes he isnt doing it because he cares about the loss of Afghan civilians lives. Not at all, this is about anti-USA sentiment and is just done for ideological reasons And again I am not trying to target him because we all tend to do this in our own way. We just need to be honest about why sometimes we are making the post or expressing outrage And finally their are people who do care about the loss civilian lives in Afghanistan so its not all doom and gloom

Yes you right, it seems to an almost unavoidable pattern .....and yet I always wonder " if most people, and I mean US citizens, are aware of this is their not more that can be done to avoid the same repetition " .....but I do think sometimes its inevitable because of the general nature of politics in all Constitutional Democracies And what is interesting is how this really is observed and yet seems ignored by the elected political party . For example Biden said when he was elected " I want to reach out and work with Republicans " And lately Biden has been accused of "not working with Republicans " by Scott Jennings, a Republican commentator who always frames things IMO in a reasonable way on CNN. He is one of the standard Republican guests that CNN often uses to represent the GOP perspective But I think Biden has tried in many examples to get consensus but he will use the Democrat majority in the Senate to push through certain laws or bills. And then the Republicans do the same thing when they the majority So the cycle gets repeated by both sides but as I mentioned this generally happens in most of our countries

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous Part 2
BruceVC replied to Amentep's topic in Computer and Console
I am always impressed by gamers who are more than willing to play games knowing their are guaranteed bugs.....I cant do that, I would find it very annoying which is why I have my " 3 month " wait till I play any game rule " I cant imagine starting a game and then bugs cause me to not be able to complete it -
Well the US doesn't dislike China on a personal level or to the point of creating unnecessary economic harm to the US economy. We had the trade war with China which proved what we know about the economic reality of how China needs to drive its economy. Despite some rhetoric from the CCP it hurt them and for the first time China was quiet about the endless insults from Trump and his surrogates like Pompeo ....they really tried to blame China for the virus spread and it was unfair and just a form of grandstanding But Trump lost and only once Biden was confirmed to have won on the 6 January did China suddenly declare these bizarre sanctions on many of Trumps cabinet ....but they waited till Trump was gone because they did not want to risk another example of a trade war. I understand this concern, China is primarily an export driven economy and it relies on the inexhaustible appetite of the US to buy much of its goods. So of course its better to have good relations with China because of the economic relationship which is reciprocal. https://tradingeconomics.com/china/exports-by-country https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/20/china-sanctions-pompeo-obrien-azar-and-other-trump-administration-officials.html It was strange to see how the CCP was wary of Trump and yet seemed to respect him more but when Biden made any critical comments about China they were openly critical and hostile in their normal way Its a pity it takes a Trump personality to get China to consider their behavior ?

Trump could become the Republican candidate ......and he could win in the next election But I have tried to warn our American forum members that some of these liberal, Democrat polices could really alienate supporters of Biden and suddenly Trump is back in power !!! And as much as that sounds fine I really dont think I can deal with 4 years of the Trumpism I respect your economic predictions because no one can say any economic prediction cannot happen because these concerns can happen , but I dont agree the US is going to implode and crash.....of course their are always factors like high oil price which increases inflation and that can always have serious impact. But I am more concerned with these Corona Stimulus checks that allow people not to work because they earn more money not working, this can also increase inflation like UBI

Nah, Im sorry but you cant suggest that overall the US military interventions have led to failure and things getting worse I would argue that US military campaigns have helped make the world a safer place, we can confirm this by looking at the overall outcomes after US intervention I always thought this was something that US members would never question as its irrefutable truth, for example WW1 : The US intervened near the end but its questionable if the Allies would have defeated the Germans once Russia had surrendered WW2 : The USA played a critical role in achieving victory Cold War conflicts : which was necessary as a way to weaken the Communist blocs but the USA and it allies didn't lose the Cold War Serbia : The US bombing campaign helped end the violence War on Terror and ME : The US is expected to always be part of the ME conflicts in some ways with the latest return of the US by Trump to present Iran with a unified enemy Iraq and Afghanistan : Both conflicts the US spent resources and effort to stabilize these countries but left after at least creating an independent government So I am genuinely interested where people may feel the USA military intervention has made things worse...I just see the historical examples?

Interesting, you see how these types of problems cannot be assumed to be caused by something obvious because you didnt do anything that is unusual But this means you can copy as many save games as you like, its extremely unlikely this could cause another profile corruption because end of the day any PC must be able to support the simple copying of files and if this fails and corrupts the profile again then you must reinstall because you cant accept that type of failure But I cant imagine that will happen ?
-
I dont think you need to be concerned about the problem being related to something related to a corrupted file, its always possible but highly unlikely that this could cause the issues you experienced in your profile But before I can comment further do you remember what you were doing when the problem occurred, its relevant because you are concerned about a corrupted save file? Because I agree I wouldn't want to have the problem resurface I invested 3 years in a new PC rig and because I had taken voluntary retrenchment and made my yearly target I received a huge salary and I also had decided to move to Cpt so the retrenchment ended up being a good thing but it didnt feel good at the time But I decided to spend a lot of this extra money on a new gaming machine and I bought things that I just wouldnt have spent that much money on like the new RTX 2080 Ti which was cutting edge at the time. Anyway my PC has so many games, apps , MMO, gaming clients, game items like manuals and a huge library of Mods which I use for numerous games... I am just thinking how I would feel if my PC had demonstrated your problems ....the thought of having to reinstall everything I have collected is draining and something I want to avoid

It can be frustrating to have to reinstall things but you should still have access to Windows Explorer where your .exe and games reside and you can just create shortcuts to new icons ? But I was thinking what is probably easier and you mentioned it, Windows Explorer will have your previous profile saved under C:\Users\xxx Go into your old profile and the Desktop folder. All your old Shortcuts will be their, copy them to the new Desktop because they should alll still work ?

Hoonding I hate it when you feel let down by white people I know its something that can difficult to accept but I did mention there are some things that white people failed to resolve and improve in the history of mankind. Colonialism did lots of good to many undeveloped parts of the world but their are always things that can go wrong But its not fair to call Biden a killer and their will be people making this outlandish claim.....he used a drone strike to target an ISIS group that exists in Afghanistan. ISIS gets targeted by the majority of countries in the ME or countries that have been fighting Islamic extremism like the USA, UK or Russia And now after killing 13 US soldiers and dozens of Afghan civilians Biden had to respond like he does when the US is targeted lately in the US So he is no more a killer than any other US president who has had to deal with reality of the war on terror and how the US is targeted often. If he hadnt responded I would be critical But yes always try not to make statements like " Biden is a killer " when it comes to normal response by countries to terrorist attacks

You have done well, good troubleshooting. Its interesting how my steps to understand the issue worked because these steps cover most issues but sometimes the fix is complicated or the problem still exists. And also these arent my steps but a Microsoft proven way to troubleshoot issues ....but the point being its solved your issue and that is the main thing My advice is create new desktop icons and shortcuts because you have a new profile and as much as we dont like it sometimes creating a new profile is a good performance exercise Plus you can get rid of old unnecessary junk. And all your games should still work ?

Okay we making progress, so now the issue points at your windows profile. Logon with a new user account to create a new OS profile. Lets see if that works

Here is a link to discuss safe mode, I do realize safe mode is not something commonly used https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-za/000124344/how-to-boot-to-safe-mode-in-windows-10
