That Simpsons cartoon is classic, really funny

You are the undeniable master of brevity....you know that right

Something else interesting you mentioned about Pence, I know he has been an obsequious sycophant to Trump but I do like him and feel sorry for him because he is now part of this ridiculous theater where he is somehow suppose to do something he cannot really legally do So lets say he performs the normal ceremonial role the Trump base is going to blame him and hold him responsible for simply following the US Constitution around this electoral collogue recognition Does anyone else feel bad for Pence and what is going to happen today ?

There is a rise at the moment of cryptocurrency generally but the risk is exactly what happened to you earlier. You cannot predict what will happen next with any cryptocurrency and when it crashes no one takes any responsibility. Purely from a return on investment and considering you have other more stable investments you should sell but you also arent deeply committed so you could just see how it goes purely for the experience ...its not going to hurt you financially if there is another crash. The link below is the problem with cryptocurrency, you will never find this with any other type of normal investment unless it based on a serious problem like 2008 where people lost money but the markets recovered. Imagine you had invested your life savings in this type of crypto investment and you lost everything because one person died....this is the real risk with cryptocurrency https://news.sky.com/story/crypto-trader-boss-dies-with-password-to-clients-110m-11628106

You wise to avoid any kind of cryptocurrency GD, stick to commodities like Gold because it has intrinsic value and there is a real understanding of what impacts the price and you have recourse when the price fluctuates

Yes China is a threat on certain levels and there contempt for human rights and general Democratic rule needs to be addressed But that doesnt mean the USA will go to war with them, you wont see any countries that have nuclear weapons going to war because of the threat of mutually assured destruction. Thats why the USSR and the USA never went to war directly and the Cold War was about proxy wars. So their could be sanctions and punitive economic steps against China but there wont a traditional war in the WW1 & 2 sense https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_assured_destruction#:~:text=Mutually assured destruction (MAD) is a doctrine of,defender (see pre-emptive nuclear strike and second strike).

Apart from the Iran issue what war do you predict the US will be in that time period ?

Give Lilyhammer a try, its easy watching and entertaining ?

Is this really fair ? Did they mislead gamers around the terrible performance on consoles ....arent they going to address this ? CDPR is an excellent company and I would hate this to lead to them closing down I can understand the share price drop but this will recover so basically this is about angry console gamers....not really such a big deal. Its a game after all

What genres do you like, do you enjoy drama, sci-fi or supernatural for example ?

The one main reason I stopped watching Cobra Kai is that there are so many good things to watch I feel watching something mediocre is just not necessary

Thanks for explaining in a way I understand, this post above has been one of the primary concerns I have with a Democrat sweeping victory and I have mentioned it on several occasions The Trump backlash could be more about payback and that isnt helpful in the long-term. But as Scott Jennings, moderate and reasonable Republican commentator, mentioned now on CNN " he is happy if the Democrats implement so called " extreme left polices " because this will just aid the Republicans in the next mid-term elections But I dont consider Biden an extremist and I do believe the focus now is going to be on the virus and addressing the spread so I doubt this will occur But yes the point " an eye for an eye " cannot be completely ignored

I finished Bards Tale 4 yesterday and what a gaming experience it was, firstly it scores a solid 70/100 on the globally respected and followed " BruceVC gaming rating score " system However for those that havent played this RPG yet I need to share some important feedback so you dont misunderstand the good and bad of this game It was unquestionably the hardest RPG I have ever played and the primary reason for this is the puzzles that are intrinsically part of the game and cannot be ignored or glossed over. There are about 5-6 puzzles that come up regularly throughout the game in different maps so if you dont like puzzles dont play this RPG I generally dont like puzzles or rather I dont like spending hours trying to solve them....life is too short for me to spend 4 hours on a specific puzzle in any game. The secret to Bards Tale puzzles is all the puzzles have similar mechanics around their basic rules so you must learn this and then the solving of them becomes fun or much less frustrating I admit even though I learnt the mechanics of the puzzles I used game guides for at least 30-35 % of all puzzles but the game guides are not always clear and sometimes wrong with their views on how to solve them. But the guides definitely help Then sometimes, especially in the beginning of the game on early levels , some of the combat seems unbalanced agaisnt your party so I would sometimes drop the difficulty level to easy for about 10 % of all combat. Dont feel bad about doing this because some battles are almost impossible without this But the combat and skill advancement is complex and great fun once you understand the various metrics like Divinity 2 Also there is very little hand holding and you must get use to going back to rooms and areas on maps because sometimes you can easily miss a key that is critical to open a certain gate, once again I sometimes used guides to find where certain items were But the game design is excellent around offering you side quests and exciting different ways to advance your party and they do reward you for " going off the beaten path " and exploring things outside the primary quest So in closing, excellent RPG but very difficult around puzzles that can become very frustrating if you dont fully understand the puzzle objective and trust me some of the puzzles, like the blood flowing door opening cogs, can be incredibly difficult to understand Interesting statistic, based on accurate Steam data only 6 % of all people who started this RPG finally completed it so its definitely a " hardcore " RPG and not for everyone who may prefer a less complex gaming experience But well done InXile for creating such a compelling game

I am a huge supporter of Nexus and all their mods. The people who create these Mods are an amazing group and how they can change so much of the functionality of many games that you feel may be lacking in areas I even joined the Nexus Premium membership and paid to do it, its a lifetime membership and was a one off cost of about $65 Money well spend to support such a great initiative that provides so much enhanced gaming

Zora if you not a fan of the Express then you must say so, dont equivocate

This is a very relevant question, no I dont understand how this Senate election really works. I know the Democrats won Georgia in 2020 but I dont know what you mean by " democrat candidates are not taking a lead in any real sense. votes from an election which already happened is being tallied" What do you mean by that ?

Gromnir can we keep this simple, are you saying that Pence cannot legally block the Biden electoral college recognition?

Im interested in understanding this complexity and why we seeing this change outside of the obvious which is a pushback against the Trump presidency and how most US citizens who vote believe Biden was the better candidate in the 2020 election In your opinion what do you attribute this Democratic success to ?

Oh I just heard on CNN one practical and positive policy that Democratic control of the Congress could lead to The $2000 stimulus checks will be approved for unemployed Americans

You right, the Democrats are taking the lead in Georgia...its unexpected Well we all need to accept the outcome as this is what the people of Georgia have voted for and the same as the 2020 election its the will of the people I wont lie and say Im not disappointed but as I mentioned in a previous post having complete control of the Congress may be exactly the right political outcome to address the pandemic in the USA and that can only be a good thing

I started watching season 3 and stopped halfway through episode 3....its just not entertaining anymore and I not sure exactly why

Is this true? Everything I have seen and heard is that the VP role is purely ceremonial and he cannot legally block the electoral college recognition today of Biden

Its looking like a slight Republican Senate victory, I think this is overall the best outcome I can agree Trump has been a major disruptor on certain levels but the USA lurching to the left as a result of anger and frustration due to the Trump presidency wont be in the best interests of the USA in the long term and also much of the rest of the world Guys please remember why many non-Americans follow and are concerned with the reality and sustainability of the USA economy and political environments , its in bad taste now but their is an old adage that goes " when America sneezes the world catches a cold " This is always true, now more than ever. So when Hurlshot asked a question a while ago "why would a person in Poland have an interest in the USA " I initially thought he was joking as I assumed everyone realized why many of us have a vested interest in the events of the USA The USA has a massive influence, both directly and indirectly, in numerous world developments and sets certain precedents that the rest of the world follows or is guided by. This is never going to change, at least not in our life times So you Americans are struck with the rest of the world always being concerned and supporting different outcomes and realities that occur within the USA....we like one big, happy, strained family Lets have a group hug as that always helps

Well that is definitely true, it has never been implemented before in the USA so you never know

Why, what is so bad about it? I have never watched it
