You make some good points here. But this current violence has been about political expediency and survival for both Netanyahu and Hamas. I think Netanyahu and the Israeli right wing underestimated the backlash and outcome from wanting to forcibly remove Palestinians from those Jerusalem suburbs and the attack on the Al Aqsa Mosque was a miscalculation and egregious But you wrong about one thing, Saudi Arabia and Iran becoming long-term friends is not going to happen because of this. This is just a brief reprieve from the age old animosity and still needs to be resolved

What about GOG Galaxy client, dont you have that installed ? -
Its actually a very good idea using drones as opposed to only utilizing police to help subdue violent protestors....now we just need a state to test it on. I suggest California because they threatened to secede after Trump won the election and that is illegal and treasonous !!!! Remember Gfted1 you guys fought a civil war over secession ....people seem to have forgotten that https://www.5newsonline.com/article/news/local/outreach/back-to-school/californians-campaign-to-secede-from-the-us-after-trump-victory/527-92f43ecd-15ac-4c38-8fb9-ed9a52ca9356 I am sure Hurlshot will agree it makes sense in the interests of the rule of law and order

Yes you have raised a good point, the hardliners in Iran also used the money ,$300 billion more or less, released by Obama after the Nuclear Deal to continue to stabilize the ME. For example they invested and tested ballistic missiles which now have the range to target anywhere in the ME . This is why both Israel and the Gulf States ( led by Saudi Arabia ) are united in their concern as seeing the current hardline government in Iran as the enemy https://edition.cnn.com/2017/09/23/middleeast/iran-ballistic-missile-test/index.html https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/iran-test-fires-ballistic-missile-capable-carrying-warheads-pompeo-says-n942586

I have never been convinced of arguments that countries like the USA are to blame for wars because US companies sell weapons to countries like Saudi Arabia or Israel The global arms trade exists because governments want weapons, if the US wasnt selling weapons to Israel dont you think many other countries would be more than happy to sell them weapons? Russia, China, France or the UK would happily sell them what they wanted You cant blame the company or country selling the weapons ....we should blame the people who want the weapons. Its the same as the war on drugs, it can never be won when their is demand

I must say I enjoyed that review, sure the guy is not a long term gaming review professional but he makes some honest and convincing observations I particularly found it interesting with the negative impact the pandemic had on development and how that would have eroded Q&A, I completely understand this as a real factor to some of the issues around the games release but then they should have announced this publicly and delayed the release for understandable reasons.....no point telling fans afterwards once the anger and frustration has been created by real subpar release issues I liked how shocked he seemed by the " bullying " statement ...." gosh that sounds serious " But the game is really improving and its future is looking good so well done CDPR !!

Geez.....50 GB is too much for you, what games do you play? MMO can easily utilize more than 50 GB I am happy with the specs required for the new ME trilogy and if I hadnt played the entire series I would invest in it. But I enjoyed the ME series, I didnt love it so its not worth the investment -
Look at you, you little Nietzsche fanboy. Im impressed, I didnt think you cared or understood much about white, Capitalist literature but with you quoting it you have just proven me wrong. You see I do admit when Im wrong

Yes I can understand that view around preventative steps around stricter border control , personally I would support it until the pandemic is reasonably contained globally despite it ostensibly being draconian I agree with the possible Kiwi inbreeding option but then you will have change your current legislation to allow for the rights of sheep to be recognized as family members and partners....and this is something you guys outlawed years ago as I know ? Oh and as far as the latest India rules are concerned do you support this considering the reality of the virus running rampant in India ?

@Gorth https://ewn.co.za/2021/05/18/experts-warn-shuttered-australia-is-becoming-a-hermit-nation Is this accurate, I find it hard to believe that Oz strict lockdown measures are tantamount to the country becoming a " hermit state ". NK is a hermit state and once the virus is globally contained its not like Oz wont relax its current travel and border regulations ?

This game looks good so far, I'll be following its development

Serves you right for being nasty to Bioware fans who like to discuss important issues like what the sweat on Dragon Age characters might taste like

If I could fix your lack of interest in the Ubisoft client would you install it then ?

Yeah I agree, I have no concerns with Microsoft unintentionally diluting the overall gaming experience by taking over such prestigious companies as Bethesda, if anything the gaming experience should get better as more resources can be thrown at effective development Microsoft has a long history in gaming and they have learnt from their mistakes around things like their historical views about being a monopoly. I have mentioned this before but I use to work for Microsoft and its an excellent company that is very credible -
What is the reason you dont want an Ubisoft login, I only use it when I play their games and I have found it works fine and be unintrusive ?

Watching as usual some great shows like a Penny Dreadful again, Your Honor, Clarice ( spinoff of Silence of the Lambs), Twilight Zone, FBI and Law & Order SVU Lots to keep me entertained

I have to be honest out all the reasons to not play a game as brilliant and captivating as RDR2 3rd party account requirements would be my absolute last reason As mentioned by others just create a spare email account that you never have to check or use unless its for password reset purposes and play RDR2....its the best game ever released by Rockstar and well worth it

I enjoyed the interview but it was much of the same with all accusations levelled towards Russia and their interference in countries, he denied it obviously and playing the " Snowden and Prism did it " card is old but reliable Asking a question like " did you do it " and expecting any answer apart from " no we didnt " just seems a waste of time. Russia did do it and their is always a digital footprint when it comes to any state sponsored hacking that points irrefutably at the country involved like Stuxnet was created by the Israelis But I will agree with a point you have raised in the past, you can at least understand and reason with the Russians compared to the CCP. Its easier to understand and address the Russian objectives compared to what the CCP thinks around certain developments related to their global policies and hegemony

In SA we have a huge inconsistency with our interpretation and practice of the virus spread preventative steps , some places still test for temperatures when you walk in despite it being globally known that asymptomatic people dont have an elevated temperature. But in all shops and businesses its mandatory to wear a mask, not when you sitting in a restaurant, but I dont personally ask people to wear masks. I have asked management to tell people to put on their masks because the worst way to convince a mask denialist to wear a mask in SA would be say something like " do you think you are entitled " ....people dont really seem to respond well to that argument or wouldnt understand it
