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 " ?

Well thats good news, I have never had a flu shot before

Skarpie have you been fully vaccinated , Im concerned with the levels of vaccine hesitancy we see in most of our countries and how this primarily spreads the virus and mutations

https://www.windowscentral.com/dying-light-2-delayed-february-2022 Dying Light 2 has been delayed till 4 February. I am fine with that because I would rather wait till the game is ready according to the Developers than get an bug ridden game due to early release like Cyb2077 DY2 also is bigger and better on every level so delays are understandable

Guys please be fair to Nicki Minaj, she is allowed to make some mistakes because she is really hot....remember what they taught us at school about "beautiful people are not perfect " and all that Oh this story is also on CNN so its international ....I genuinely feel sorry for her because she says she was misquoted or what she said was taken out of context ...Im not sure how but I believe her

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 ?
