Sometimes it is but in these types of meetings you can offend someone unnecessarily....it could just be a temporary FB connection and not anything she will participate in so why make a harmless situation uncomfortable...they have this connection in a hospital so it can be more complicated than a normal meeting with someone who wants to " friend " you

You can hang with patients but you can easily separate work from someone who is just wanting to connect on FB friendship which is not really a real relationship as you can easily ignore I have to be honest I feel you have a normal but acceptable responsibility to friend her because obviously she feels the 20 minutes is a reason to have a connection with you which is credit to you . You can be cynical and think " 20 minutes and she wants to know me.....hard to believe thats sincere " But you come across as a very candid and caring person so I can believe she could form a connection, I like taking to you and Im sure after 20 minutes of chatting I would feel much closer to you .....but Im not on FB so its an unlikely scenario You can quickly make a judgement call on her after some assessment on her comments and views and if you dont enjoy her general personality you just remove her because you are under no obligation to keep her as a friend

majestic why you pulling a Zora on me And why you being so nasty, well you never mentioned my race so there is that .....have you forgotten the honest and important endorsement I gave Austria..and it was true.. But seriously my views on these topics are not based on my links to economic systems or real fears of an utter collapse of our societies. I have seen and worked in countries that have attempted and failed to change the proven, quantifiable metrics of the free market so we must never underestimate the risk of badly implemented economic polices You will be surprised but " bank bashing" can sometimes be fair .....but why dwell on some illegal, mistake or greedy endeavor some people in finance end up doing. If people have broken the law they should be prosecuted ...I have an uncle who was incarnated in the USA for links to complicated, normally acceptable but still illegal changes to some finance statements in 2008/2009 . Himself and 3 Americans were charged for various financial crimes and SEC got involved , they pleaded quilt and received real sentences in a real Federal prison but this prison is apparently used for people like them who are not real criminals so you cant put them with murderers and gangbanger shot callers and murderous right wingers Its the same prison I am sure Bernie Madoff is in or was in. My uncle has spent about 6 years in jail but he is being released early and they are deporting him back to SA and he can never return to the USA and he can never work in the financial sector ever again. He must be 68 now so I suppose he should be able to retire but he wants to work and somehow make amends ....not sure how but he should be able to try to work and make amends

I dont know much about him to comment on this but this is what is true about him. He was a loyal and important VP to Obama which was a time of both success and overreach but I cant recall him doing anything significant He espouses the moderate view of Democrats ......you dont want Warren or Saunders becoming president, I like them on a personal level as they mean well but you cannot have people running the USA who believe in punishing global US companies who get unfairly blamed for 2008, are happy for mass tax increases on everyone and are happy to suggest sweeping social changes like enforced gun control irrespective what reasonable gun owners think But I am worried about his mental state...he worried me during the interview and allowed himself to get provoked by Trump with comments about his son. What if he cannot finish the term and Harris becomes president .....now I am concerned about her trying to implement polices that are suppose to address " inequality " and how unintentionally this weakens and erodes the economy in different ways And its unhelpful to suggest " she wont implement polices that could hurt the US economy " because there are many countries that have destroyed there economies and livelihoods through bad polices or decisions

I admit I have no knowledge or history of the role or significance that either Armenia or Azerbaijan play in the region which is fine I am aware of the terrible genocide the Armenians sent through and how Turkey is responsible. Do you guys know many Turks even today refuse to accept this ? What is the real risk around this conflict from a " spill over perspective" ....the last thing we need is thousands more immigrants trying to get into the EU if things get worse?

LadyC can I ask you a question as the one of the only women on this forum and you being American? What dont you like about Biden and why do you prefer him over Trump?

Yes I agree but it was also more or less what I expected....I was worried Biden would come off looking worse than Trump due to his occasional ....how can I say it politely and fairly....absent mindedness but it seemed to go okay for him I cant see why they need to have more of those ? On CNN all the commentators are saying that was the " worst presidential debate in the history of these debates " .....I wonder if that is fair as neither candidate was particularly significant for me? CNN is furious how Trump " refused to criticize white supremacy " during the debate ....I am not sure why they asked him this because its become one of those questions he has answered in the past and I cant see how Trump repeating what he has said in the past is going to change the views of actual white supremacist?

You right, that would have been a much better way of getting the same feedback

But Elerond its not fair to associate Pizzagate which was caused by the QAnon fringe group with the overall Republican party and levels of insight that many Republicans have The extreme views of QAnon are really hard to take seriously and wont ever be translated into Republican policy

Thanks for the feedback but to be honest I am interested in this particular game because of the whole supernatural. horror element. I dont normally play Sherlock Holme adventure type games Do you think this is a supernatural, adventure game ....in other words I dont just want to solve crimes I want to solve supernatural crimes ?

I think I have changed my mind and will watch this debate, I just saw this very interesting discussion on CNN on this debate and now I am looking forward to it

Malc I am a little disappointed you are not sharing traditional Caribbean food or maybe some Caribbean dishes as " Best 5 ", I understand you cant assume someone from a region enjoys the local cuisine but I always enjoy learning about other peoples food interests because for me its part of understanding other peoples culture and or interests But I understand if you prefer not to go into detail

I must tell you whenever you mention stories of heading off to Cold Creek or getting away from society and camping with the dogs I am always envious....you sometimes mention you cook fish you have caught....it seems like a such a sense of freedom and connecting with nature. Do you know I have never been fishing in my life....its sad and unusual because many people in my family fish a lot but no one in my direct family So I have this possibly naïve vision of fishing and being one with nature where its .....good fun? Relaxing I imagine But I love the idea of catching and eating my own fish Just to add I have friends who have offered to take me fishing and I must take them up on the offer

" dodo eggs " .....thats clever Your meals are very GD, nice one. Very tasty choices I must say.....so you clearly would prefer seafood to meat, much healthier ?

Firstly thats very honest, candid, emotional and loving things to say about your marriage, please tell your husband how lucky I think he is to be married to you However I realize my original objective of this post has been misunderstood and thats my fault for how I framed the first post. This was supposed to be a good news post where you post your 5 favorite meals but in order to really think and post " well what are my 5 favorite meals " its harder than many people think especially when we are surrounded by such great food and variety ...look just how Gfted1 and myself changed our minds in the beginning So these types of questions normally get framed with an emphasis that allows our minds to focus on that thing to get the " best 5 " meals instead of procrastinating which is easy to do So in other words, this is not about the final days or end of the world scenario that you are thinking about .....its about your 5 best meals I hope this makes sense and Im sorry for the confusion.....you not suppose to take it so literally but I am glad you did because now I can clarify what I was asking

I might just concur, hot Chicken wings with a Roquefort\Blue Cheese sauce ...oh yeah. I will drop pizza for wings You are allowed to change your selection because this is final 5 meals So no need to be too concerned with healthy meals but sushi is delicious

Good choices, I do love shellfish like Crab and Lobster but I had limited choices I also haven't eaten that very expensive steak like Wagyu.....it is super expensive in SA

You right, Im not suggesting Covid is the end of mankind at all. Once the vaccine is out our lives will definitely start returning to normal and I cant wait But dont you have favorite meals you love and would want to eat if hypothetically you had 5 days left on the earth?

Thanks, I did some reading on this and it discusses UK military intervention in numerous ME conflicts But its not covert military intervention or what the Anonymous article suggested that the UK is involved in " military crimes ". The UK parliament officially supported Operation Shader as a legitimate UK military intervention. https://www.forces.net/news/three-years-op-shader-1500-airstrikes-against-islamic-state I also see there are small groups of UK soldiers deployed to Syria so I was wrong to say " the UK has not deployed military " But my point was really how Anonymous has mischaracterized the UK global role it has played in legal military intervention

Sup All Without sounding morbid the pandemic has changed many things for the world and despite the important advancements mankind has made we are still globally impacted by things that none of us can control....like Covid The pandemic has reminded me of the brevity of life and how sometimes we take things for granted like going to a bar and restaurant, freedom of movement and spending with family and friends and the significance of relationships If you had one day left on this world what would be your favorite 5 " last meals " ....its hard because most of us love our food and there is so much food I enjoy but I have made the list below A good Sunday roast, Pork or Beef and all the relevant side dishes like Yorkshire Pudding or roast potatoes with gravy Pork Spare Ribs A full English breakfast Pizza ...yeah, good old Pizza...you cant go wrong Cheese Fondue What would be your 5 favorite " last meals "

You right I am afraid, its a terrible time to be a Socialist ....what dont you switch sides? And its easier than you think. It starts with something incredibly simple but symbolic....you change your forum name to " CapitalistMaster " , personally I think its got a nice ring to it ?

So who is going to watch the first presidential debate tonight between Trump and Biden? I want to but its a bit late for SA time, I think it starts at 1am for me so I will watch the highlights tomorrow

Malc have you heard from volo recently, he has been conspicuous by his absence ? I hope he is okay, I know he didnt believe in wearing a mask so I hope his silence isnt related to the virus

Im not sure, there is a Mod that silences there comments and general noise if you find that annoying https://www.nexusmods.com/masseffectandromeda/mods/745 But I am not sure why you would want to, outside of your criticisms, remove your squad from planet deployments because sometimes there are quests and missions dependent on a specific squad member being in the squad and commenting ? And you will undermine any Romance arcs if you didnt have a squad in deployment IMO So I would contend your squad is an intrinsic part of the overall Bioware RPG experience ....I doubt I would play any of there games if there wasnt this gaming mechanic
