English translation courtesy of Google translate: Hello, how are you? I have a problem with Game pass accounts, it turns out that with my friends I play Grounded on PC, and I have the world saved in my profile so I want to know if there is a way to export that same world to another account.

Guild Wars 2 fourth beta preview of the nine new class specializations coming up soon (taking the total to 27 specializations plus 9 "core" classes). Mostly I'm looking forward to the new siege turtle. A two person mount with cannons and jump packs. What's not to love

Since January 6th was such a memorable event (for all the wrong reasons)... https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-11-24/proud-boys-oath-keepers-subpoena-us-capitol-riot-january-6/100645708 "A committee investigating the deadly US Capitol riot has issued five subpoenas to far-right extremist groups that have backed former president Donald Trump and to individuals associated with those groups The Select Committee is seeking testimony from the Proud Boys and its chairman, Henry "Enrique" Tarrio, alongside the Oath Keepers and its president, Elmer Stewart Rhodes. The committee has also subpoenaed Robert Patrick Lewis, the chairman of 1st Amendment Praetorian, a lower-profile organisation known for wearing black shirts and providing security at pro-Trump events." ... In short, Trumps goon squad seems to be dis-proportionally represented amongst those arrested. ... "The Proud Boys have been named by United States security agencies as playing a pivotal role in the January attack on the US Capitol, and at least 34 individuals associated with the group have been indicted over it." Speaking of far right groups... I seem to remember one or more people on this forum linking to intelligence assessments, that they're the greatest risk when it comes to domestic terrorism https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-59355019 A US jury has awarded millions in damages against the organisers of a deadly far-right rally in August 2017. The defendants were found liable in four out of six counts over the bloodshed at the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. Nine of those injured sued the event's organisers arguing they had conspired to commit racially motivated violence. A woman was killed and dozens were hurt after an avowed neo-Nazi drove a car into counter-protesters. The total damages awarded amount to $25m (£19m), according to US media. Now this is more likely to qualify as a hate crime... some people should take note?

Hah, we all know the most important reason... tax avoidance

I think you're smarter than such statements. Or do you want to try to convince me that the guy did a survey of the area first and then targeted a specific group based on a set of qualifying criteria? What would be his target group? Did he specifically hate children and the elderly? From the Oxford Dictionary: hate crime noun noun: hate crime; plural noun: hate crimes a crime, typically one involving violence, that is motivated by prejudice on the basis of race, religion, sexual orientation, or other grounds. Hint: Hate Crime is aimed at a specific group of people, not at as large a group as possible.

The most obvious option is of course also the most boring. Somebody barely scraping by in society (seemingly going from verdict to verdict throughout life) having a spat with his partner and never learnt how to deal with anger management issues decided to go on a road rage, not giving a damn about who or how many he kills in the process. Mental health is not something you talk about and it's very unlikely to be offered to those who needs it most (it's probably almost as bad as being a communist and it costs money... lots of money, because US health care is amongst the worlds most inefficient when it comes to value for money).

It's guilty of some fan service (if that's the right term). Mostly provided by her busty, red headed friend Hana. The latter also being painfully naive and innocent, to the point where there is a scene where the two friends are walking down a street and a large ghost is throwing little ghosts onto her boobs, just to watch them squirm and be roasted "alive" (probably doesn't apply to ghosts), then picking them up, eating them (Hana glows with sort of a golden "aura" i Miko's vision). She likes food and shopping for underwear A way more interesting third character, which got introduced late into the show is Yulia, a diminutive character who goes in the class next to Miko's. She can see ghosts too, but only the smaller, harmless looking ones. She wants to become the greatest spiritualist ever and visits the local fortune teller lady "Godmother" regularly, trying to become her apprentice. She's now convinced that Miko is some all powerful spiritualist who has it in for her... ...and it looks like youtube also has previews and clips from episode 8 now. I guess I just have to get it. Ah well...

...and Tucker Carlson is sort of par for the course for Fox News (and Sky News and everything else Rupert Murdoch touches). You can almost feel the pitiful screams of your brain cells as they get brutally massacred.

I think this would have pleased Paul... (which was a famous Octopus oracle from the Fifa 2010 World Cup) From Paul's wiki page: Paul's accurate choices for the 2010 World Cup, broadcast live by German news channel n-tv, endowed him with celebrity status.[3] Paul predicted the winners of each of the seven 2010 FIFA World Cup matches that the German team played, against Australia, Serbia, Ghana, England, Argentina, Spain,[22] and Uruguay. His prediction that Argentina would lose prompted Argentine chef Nicolas Bedorrou to post an octopus recipe on Facebook.[3] There are always people who want to eat our octopus but he is not shy and we are here to protect him as well. He will survive. — Oliver Walenciak (Paul's keeper)[23] Paul correctly predicted the outcome of the semi-final, by choosing the food in the box marked with the Spanish flag. German supporters drew hope from his incorrect choice for the Germany versus Spain match in the UEFA Euro 2008 but were disappointed.[24] The prediction led to German fans calling for Paul to be eaten.[25][26] In response, the Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero offered to send Paul official state protection, and the Industry Minister Miguel Sebastian called for Paul to be given safe haven in Spain.[27][28] Paul's notoriety attracted criticism from the President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who accused him of being a symbol of Western decadence and decay.[29] Maybe Spain is the most octopus friendly country in Europe? The place where they don't eat their prophets

Hmm... Mieruko-chan 8 is out. Get it or wait until all 12 episodes of the season is released?... hard choices Edit: A trailer. Not episode specific, but just for first handful of episodes

I don't care. My Valhallan army shall cleanse the galaxy of the mutants, the aliens and the heretics!

Speaking of Proud Boys and other militant far right groups who thrive (and instigate) violence and conflict... I recognize the pattern below from Melbourne and Sydney where the situation was very similar. Riots, violence, vandalism, street fights. When the Australian police eventually got the bottom of it, Murdoch supported alt right groups, neo nazis and similar societal fringe groups leading from behind, using the conflict they instigate as a recruiting ground for new members who are not afraid of using violence to achieve their goals. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/11/20/vienna-austria-covid-lockdown-protests Thousands of protesters have gathered in Austria’s capital, Vienna, after the government announced a nationwide lockdown to contain the quickly rising coronavirus infections in the country. The far-right opposition Freedom Party is among those who have called for Saturday’s protest and have pledged to combat the new restrictions. They mean it literally when they say combat the new restrictions... https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-59355950 Dutch police have shot and wounded at least two people after rioting erupted in Rotterdam over new Covid-19 measures. Protesters threw rocks and fireworks at them and set police cars ablaze. Hundreds of protesters had gathered to show their anger at government plans for a Covid vaccine pass, and a ban on fireworks on New Year's Eve. The Netherlands imposed a three-week partial Covid lockdown last week as cases surged. Seven people were injured in total and at least 20 arrested in a night Sadly no details in the BBC article about who was behind the riots in Rotterdam.

The above post cut off the tail end of previous thread to start a new...

Last post split off to start a new thread here...

Note the use of the word ‘acquiring’. It’s spelled differently from ‘bringing’

You forget who you're talking to... someone who would just as likely likely offer a $10 bounty for each severed head of black lives matters supporters delivered at his door step. Of course there is nothing wrong in killing them, because they're all the same.

There, fixed your grammar. Yes, it was even worse than Windows ME which held that title proudly for many years. My hardware doesn't support Windows 11, so it's a moot point for me. Not going to upgrade my hardware the next 3-4 years. To satisfy my curiosity, I downloaded the developer edition from Microsoft and run it on a Hyper-V machine. Apart from being hopeless to navigate or find anything (which could probably be overcome with patience and a lot of trial and error), I see no point so far, why I would want to run it on actual hardware

Not necessarily willfully incompetent, but fighting an uphill battle against a decision that was already made before the trial started. Both in the jury selection (the defense had all black jurors sans one removed) and the judges instruction to the prosecution before the trial. You are not allowed to refer to the victims as as victims, the defense can however refer to the victims as rioters and arsonists. Nevermind that the killer may not have known known that as a fact when he killed them.

Oh crab! The red horde is coming...

That video... my first response was a burst of laugh. But then realization sets in that this, is actually real, people like that exists and felt more like crying for humanity.

Finished episode 7 of Mieruko-chan (looks like there is a dash in the title)... this is frustrating I wish I had paid attention to the fact that the series isn't finished yet. Now I have to wait for next episode Loving it so far. A series with humor, horror, big mystery and big boobs (that's her friend Hana), what's not to love? Sometimes you laugh, sometimes you actually feel like wanting to reach out and give Miko a hug and reassure her that everything will be fine some day.

Dang it... too good to be true Two episodes in and I'm quite enjoying it though. No idea about what is really going on, other than Miko can see monsters and ghosts that nobody else can see. And it (understandably) unnerves her, even if she tries to act normal and pretend she doesn't see them

I didn't check, but if your claim is that, there are no peaceful "BLM", did you ever try to find an example of a peaceful demonstration. What does it take to be labeled a BLM protest anyway, the people participating or the cause they are championing, i.e. something needs to be done about systemic racism? Did Martin Luther King's demonstrations qualify as BLM riots in your view? Should he and his followers have been thrown behind bars right away. He would make a nice companion prison mate to Mandela I would think. Did the protesters intend violence? You seem to take that as a hard fact without questioning it, they they can't demonstrate against a century of oppression and police brutality without getting violent. Did other groups join the demonstrations despite regardless of what purpose they have, because they had their own agendas? Including political agendas and simple "smash window, grab all the iPhones" agendas because the demonstration provides cover for their actions? If you want, I can show other demonstrations, which got "infiltrated" by outside interests (Hong Kong springs to mind). Not that that's the case every time by any means, but you seem to have closed your mind completely to the idea that black people can demonstrate peacefully even if they aren't co-opted by other groups (who have no interest in things remaining peaceful).

You have some very strange ideas about Europe sometimes... and no, not even going to share pictures from The Troubles or the war in Bosnia as that was riots that turned into full scale wars. Just recent stuff across Europe from the last few decades... and that is post the 70's riots against war in Vietnam etc. I think you exaggerate the peacefulness of European protests. Did I mention when the Danes rose up in riots against the government when they announced a second Maastricht Treaty referendum? 10 people got shot by police in the street fights in Copenhagen in the 1990's, as they lost control of the situation.

I caved in and resorted to Amazon Prime... $2.99 per episode (HD version), but what the heck, it's only 7 episodes. Not going to break the bank. Started watching something called Mieruko chan. Very interesting. Very bizarre. Funny and scary. Not quite sure what to think of the characters (or overall story arc) yet. Only watched episode 1 so far. Once done with Mieruko chan, I managed to get my hands on something called 'Those who hunt elves'. Haven't watched it yet, but it looks like completely unapologetic fun, not to be analyzed or thought about too seriously.
