I dont think enforcement is the key, I think a clear understanding and acceptance of the code of conduct and acceptable behavior in any company is the best and most sustainable solution going forward People sometimes genuinely misunderstand what is considered sexual harassment
-
It is one solution and part of the choices provided, taking personal responsibility for not accidently falling pregnant is possible But not everyone has access to pharmacies or drugs that can help, so we see this in countries like SA. We have a major problem with underage pregnancies in SA, this year we had 934 girls age 10-14 falling pregnant https://www.iol.co.za/news/politics/934-girls-aged-10-to-14-gave-birth-between-april-2020-and-march-2021-gauteng-health-mec-7ebedd6f-96b8-469e-ac1c-766d52ae042b

That sounds very exciting, I like the idea of writing things down. Lets see how it goes -
I must say that is one way of looking at these issues and its interesting and paradoxical because I can both see problems and real benefits to what you saying if you think of possible punitive litigation due to sexual harassment and then the charges by not following local hiring policies

Wormie thats the thing, their wont be any because their will only be men working....less stress and NO discrimination

http://www.u5lazarus.com/ I decided to take your advice and look into the older Ultima games and I found this awesome U5 mod called Lazarus. Take a look at the new screenshots compared to the old game as you would remember the graphics So I have decided to start on U5 with this Mod and go forwards from their -

Thanks for sharing GD, sorry for your loss of a beloved pet. As mentioned by others many pets become like family members so any grief is not just real its to be expected I think you being too hard on yourself and the reality of the fact you single and the reasons for you being single, Stephanie had an issue with being faithful...that was her issue and you shouldn't judge yourself on that Marriage is an amazing way to have a relationship when it works, do you know how many people I know who are bitterly unhappy and married? I also have a long list of failed relationships and most of it is my fault but not all But I realized something years ago for me, I would rather be single and content than married or involved but be unhappy or do things that are wrong ....like cheating Anyway I hope this post makes you feel better. But you shouldnt be too hard on yourself ...I think you have done many things well and many things I personally admire. Your career and work ethos for example , you have achieved relative financial independence without family resources, that is always something I respect because having family resources makes many things easier. You also did your military service which always matters in a country like the USA You have put effort into supporting retired veterans and you are a law abiding citizen who has never taken advantage of state subsidies or government handouts, you have always worked and been independent. I consider you a success on many levels but I am sorry for your loss of Sunny. -
Im not convinced by these allegations, I definitely dont see it in the same way as the Blizzard scandal Paradox is a Swedish company....come on. We all know Sweden wrote the book on " correct SJW behavior " So we dont know the type of discrimination that was being demonstrated, for example even in the article it says 33% of men complained about bad behavior so I am not saying its not true. I am just saying I will wait for further accurate information before I pass judgement

I was reading that V-VI are the most popular, I not in rush and will see how I can Mod VII-IX but it might very well be a case of " these games are too outdated " I started on AC Odyssey this weekend, its early days and only 5 hours into the game but so far its been great. Ubisoft always does such a good job of creating a realistic ancient world to play in that it always captivates me in the AC series I love Greek mythology so it should be a fun journey -

During the 1980's because of Apartheid sanctions SA lacked PC gaming investment and general access to any RPG games and paraphernalia but if you could go overseas on holiday you could obviously buy things like AD&D and tabletop games in London which we use to do and bring them back to SA. But we didnt ever buy anything PC related because we didnt really have actual computers in SA to run games PC gaming investments in SA only stared slowly from 1990 and onwards so I only had my own PC in 1995 which was more for studies and work related than gaming. Which is why I missed the early days of the original RPG like M&M, Ultima, Wizardry etc. Anyway I always use to read about these games in the Dragon magazine and I loved the concept and ideas of the Ultima world and in 2007 when I invested in my first real gaming rig I played Ultima 8 and Ultima Online for several years which was great but this MMO had passed its heyday which happens to many MMO But I only ever played Ultima 8 and yesterday I bought on GOG Ultima 7-9 for under $5. I have decided to make an Ultima project and look at Mods to update these games and give them a try in the future. I know they are old but I am sure I can get into the game from Ultima 7 onwards Their is still an active and committed fanbase on various dedicated Ultima websites like this one which is always encouraging because you know people still write Mods and updates for the entire Ultima series https://ultimacodex.com/ -

Mamie we both know this is not even a debate, of course you must support it.....you always support East European games and its also Slav as an added bonus. I am considering buying it myself -
Thanks for explaining in a summary because now I understand what you saying But just to add an additional question, since we know we dont have accurate data on the illegal guns in the US and also the illegal import of guns into the US, like how Mexican cartels do smuggle guns into the US, we cannot ever say how many illegal guns exist in the various black markets So therefore legislators and citizens wont be able to ban legal guns because then you are denying the legitimate right of citizens to protect themselves. You can only do this in countries that dont have established black markets . Do you agree?
-
Im not sure I understand what point you making? But the most important reality and point I assume you making is " banning guns wont really stop the gun violence or mass shootings significantly because their is an established black market in the US where you can buy guns from " so all you do is prevent legitimate gun owners from protecting themselves from people armed with illegal guns when you want to ban guns We have the exact same issue in SA so I understand it

That was a very good trailer, I am glad you posted it. Initially I thought I wouldn't enjoy it but the " talk show " type commentary works really well and the humor was not annoying I am very intrigued by this game, please update us when you play the demo

Mamie please stop using big words....now I am really confused by your point but Zora is to blame because he started using big words when said " idiomatically". Everyone knows we dont use speak like that on a gaming forum

I loved that show when it first came out, the daughter was smoking hot ....I use to fantasize about " marrying " her all the time About 5 years ago I tried to watch reruns of the series, it just wasnt funny anymore .....its an old style of comedy and I just dont enjoy it. But it was great in its time like the Cosby Show and Fresh Prince of Bellair -
Also this is the first time I have heard about it and I follow the SA news about the virus and its current impact. Of course I may have missed it but I doubt it so you will find the story is true but the actual risk of this " Doomsday " variant is not necessarily true because until we see real cases and numbers And the good news is the SA vaccination rollout is going as well as it can so most of us should have vaccine resistance to the new virus even if it becomes the main variant which means we should avoid hospitalizations and deaths which is the main objective .....its not about getting exposed to the virus so much as we cant avoid that in most cases
