I think overall Harris was a good choice, Biden needed to select someone who represents numerous modern political movements where citizens demand and expect certain representation in there political structures Harris meets this criteria in many ways and has work and political institutional experience. She is young and is a black women and that matters when the candidate is not just a token appointment

Coronavirus: Triple Edition
Its because he only mentioned her as an example " that the Russian vaccine is safe " and its not about convincing most of the world because most of the world wont use any vaccine that has not been through the correct clinical trials and has evidence it is safe So he is trying to convince the Russian people its safe.....methinks he convinces too hard But I do agree with Zora that it is more likely the vaccine simply wont be that effective, I cant imagine it killing thousands as it appears it was tested on the public healthcare staff and several thousand Russian soldiers " volunteered " and they not dead?

This plutonium comment cracked me up Putin said one of his daughters took the vaccine and she is fine ...what should scare us the most about that comment is have you ever heard Putin mention his kids in any interview ?

We in a similar situation in SA but economically much much worse ...and we dont have in the public healthcare sector accurate virus data and not all hospitals are honestly functional

That lady comes across as a spoilt, entitled and uninformed brat ....its called a virus lockdown and its specific, correctly, to her region, that is suppose to mean something. She must educate herself

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-08-10/russian-covid-19-vaccine-is-pandora-s-box-industry-body-warns So it appears Russia is publicly stating they have a " working " vaccine without evidence being globally confirmed and without proper clinical trials I hope it is a working vaccine as it benefits all of us but I have serious doubts without global corroboration

Unfortunately being suspended in SA public sector means you get full salary but you dont need to actually go to work. Its a disgrace as some people are suspended in SA for years The link below is relevant to police officers being suspended but it applies to other public sector people generally https://www.politicsweb.co.za/documents/suspension-with-full-pay-rule-worries-mthethwa

But Elerond lets not try to justify attempted murder on anyone ...it undermines the reasonable objective of where we are suppose to live in a society where we absolutely support the rule of law and order Any attempt to attack and or use violence against police needs to be condemned in the same way we criticize any police officer breaking the law, this is the same reason you may support BLM

Happy Womens Day for yesterday This is always a good time to reflect personally on oneself and ask if we are doing everything reasonably possible and logical to support and enable women in our lives

Its my birthday today but the reality of the virus, the closure of certain venues and the fact alcohol has been ridiculously and illogically banned again in SA means my realistic choices to celebrate have been curtailed ....yet I have been able to plan a good week which includes A lunch on Saturday on an open area near the sea at an excellent seafood restaurant, this will be with my Cpt family. My stepmom has kindly offered to pay which translates to " its a good time to order anything you love eating but its normally a little expensive to normally justify paying for yourself " .....I can see meals like Lobster Thermidor , Abalone and imported whole Japanese crab in my future 🥂 https://www.harbourhouse.co.za/menus/ Then Sunday I have reconnected with a lady friend and we meeting for early dinner to catchup Today I have given myself the day off work and I will be gaming the whole day and will order "birthday celebration" meals for lunch and dinner

Before I start playing Divinity 2 I decided to do something very unusual for me and play a much older but very famous RPG, Daggerfall which I have never played before as I stopped PC gaming from about 1998-2005 so I missed out in certain classic RPG like Fallout1&2 Also I am also one of those games who embrace and invest in the advancement of modern games and I love the aesthetics, mechanics and structures of modern games.....Elder scroll games, Witcher series, RDR2. Modern games are great and offer us real and continued entertainment And sometimes the nostalgic allure of classic RPGs needs to stay in your memory because if you replay a classic game you must accept how your patience and view of certain gaming realities will have changed and you dont want to be unfairly critical of something that was amazing in its day but nowadays may be seen and more cumbersome than fun But of course the classic games can still be brilliant and I am playing Daggerfall Unity so it has lots of updates and graphic enhancements....its such a huge game and I am enjoying how little information you have in the beginning and how you just start in a dungeon. I am going to continue playing it and maybe I wont finish the final quest because the game is apparently super long but its a great way to see how classic RPG use to be made and I appreciate the details and depth

" everybody "....thats definitely not going to happen and sets a very bad global precedent for other countries that also face immigration issues like the EU, Australia and South Africa

And I just finished Dishonored Death of the Outsider, I have always enjoyed the Dishonored franchise. I like the game mechanics and the narrative I ended killing the Outsider but I still dont understand who he was and why he did what he did but it was a great game anyway

Its quite a coincidence but after finishing RDR2 online I realized I miss the MMO experience and I have been seriously considering starting to play one again, Hurlshot mentioned the vastness of the LotRO and I have never played this MMO. I enjoy a large world where I can explore and maybe play on my own ...I join guilds if I make the MMO more permanent because I enjoy the social side....so I may be playing LotRO soon 🌎

I am laughing because its such a terrible description of a human being.....how do you justify that because it cannot have any real reasonable logic description Do the Aboriginal people still remember that as a offensive term or is it something people know is in the past?
