Gromnir

desantis is popular 'cause he is resisting the authoritarianism of police state democrats. fauci is a wolf in sheep's clothing and just the most visible tool o' the lock down/shut down tribe o' liberals who want to squeeze southerners to financial death in the name o' keeping people safe from an overstated pandemic which is really just old people dying o' pneumonia and heart failure while the cdc cooks the numbers. etc. sweary warning: the no compromise americans and trump turned a pandemic into a freaking political issue where americans who see the linked video is almost equal divided 'bout who is the bad guy. HA! Good Fun!

am similar not intending on playing 'til more than a couple o' these bugs is addressed. is actual kinda amazing just how bad this build is busted with so little time remaining 'til september. HA! Good Fun!

+600k f'ing dead in part 'cause no compromise nutters couldn't follow common sense social distancing guidelines. did a few politicians who passed mask and social distancing mandates violate their own guidelines? yeah. technical most found ways to skirt actual violation. a govenor goes and has a group dinner in a county which allowed restaurants to remain open and have more than X number o' customers might technical not be a violation o' the state mandates the governor advocated for and passed, but it looked bad, which is why the liberal media blasted those guys for their hypocrisy. so what? is the individual hypocrisy o' a few politicians making so that the guidelines as a whole were more representative o' a police state? police state? serious? the only thing close to the fishing example you gave we found were where multiple people, not family members, were sharing the same boat and w/i a few feet of each other while fishing. regardless, minor citations is not gonna be your best examples o' police state excess... unless it is part o' your insane no compromiser narrative which ignores the freaking fact we had a pandemic occur with hundreds o' thousands o' people dying unnecessarily 'cause one portion o' the citizenry were believing that common sense efforts to slow the spread o' a deadly disease was just the first step ... and next they would be coming for your guns. some people were gonna be hurt financial by the pandemic. those damned police state democrats in washington kept trying to pass legislation which would allow states to close close businesses and subsidize those closed businesses for the short period o' time needed. look at places around the globe which actual followed shutdown guidelines. woulda' been brief and relative painless if not for our President, his loyalists in Congress and in state capitols, and the excessive number o' no compromise clowns who refused to recognize that those pictures o' freezer trucks and body bags outside US hospitals was not a media hoax. +600k dead, and even birx has said beyond the first 100k the deaths were complete unnecessary. unfortunate, too many americans saw any effort to combat the pandemic as some kinda rough beast slouching towards bethlehem, each bit o' mask advice from the cdc a step towards authoritarianism by They and Them. add a President helping conflate the pandemic and gun ownership and we ended up with @Guard Dog, and thousands like him. +600k dead 'cause some folks were obstinate to the point o' self harm and literal too stoopid to live. is many other countries who managed covid far better than the US and the reasons is two fold: 1) President Mc Coup 2) no compromise americans being no compromise americans 'cause next, they would be coming for your guns. and oh so tragic predictable. fools and madmen. +600k dead. ps if you agreed the mask advice were reasonable, you shouldn't have used as one o' your examples o' contradictory

bs the best advice, from the start, were voluntary social distancing, but when it became obvious americans (particular the obtuse, no compromise folks) were not willing to do so, masking and shutdowns became the alternatives. and yes, at the start, and in part 'cause the complete unnecessary shortage o' masks, we were indeed told it were pointless to wear a mask when asymptomatic spread was not understood. from start we were all told masks did almost zero to prevent a person from becoming infected with covid, and that observation has not changed. back in march o' 2020, wearing masks appeared kinda pointless for almost the entire population. unfortunate, lack o' social distancing by americans and new data 'bout asymptomatic spread changed the masking suggestions... as it should. when data and facts changed, so too did advice. just one example. the alt-right radio l00ns complaining 'bout conflicting mask info is just... bs. am calling bs. dear lord. more hyperbolic bs. gd is doing his best to channel marjorie taylor greene. whatever. hopeless. not funny.

you are overstating. when coal gas ovens were no longer an option for committing suicide, the suicide rates in the US and UK dropped precipitous, and those rates has never returned to previous levels. assume removal o' a modality will resort in people moving on to the next most convenient option is a mistake. https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/563424-psaki-criticizes-loaded-and-inaccurate-vaccine-misinformation before doocy made an arse o' himself assuming stuff into existence, an independent and not government study showed how a relative small number o' sources is producing the bulk o' the misinformation on social media. 'course the study ignored folks such as doocy. point is, the sources o' misinformation is not as ubiquitous as bruce suggests. is kinda shocking how much damage is being done by what amounts to a bit more than a double- handful o' sources. but yeah, is not just a facebook thing (never suggested such, so strawman away on that one) which is part o' why am not in favor o' government regulation. fb "contributes" to the problem, and so does twitter and so does fox news and whichever conservative radio personalities has filled the rush void. where does the regulation with good intentions end? 'course the bigger issue is it is too late to fix the problem by demanding truth. the people who believe the government conspiracy which is covid and vaccines is not gonna give up their stoopid if the government steps in and tomorrow silences facebook and twitter and tucker carlson when they offer manifest untrue info. the opposite from the intended result is likely as censorship is gonna be seen as validation that gd's they is really out to get conservatives. too late. HA! Good Fun!

it's hardly scapegoating. +99% of the people current being hospitalized and/or dying of covid in the US is unvaccinated. antivaxers, pre 2016, were limited to a segment o' the minority population and liberal women/mothers particular in a few geographical strongholds which tragic led to publicized measles outbreaks and the like. what changed? instead o' hippie moms, why is now white and male conservatives, who if you use a venn diagram has considerable overlap with those who believe the 2020 election were stolen, is now making up the bulk o' those espousing vaccine hesitancy? why did so many male conservatives sudden become vaccine hesitant when for years they thought immunization were fine and good? at this time last year, people in the US were dying of covid. this year people are dying unnecessarily o' covid. +99% bruce. in a few days, the rate o' vaccination in canada is gonna eclipse US numbers, in spite o' fact that today near anybody in the united states over a certain age and not immuno-suppressed is eligible to get a free covid vaccination. again, +99% o' those dying and/or facing hospitalization due to covid in the US is unvaccinated. the misinformation is literal killing people, and the longer this continues, the chances o' variants increase which put everybody, even the vaccinated, at risk o' a repeat o' 2020. am glad Gromnir don't have some kinda special authority to shutdown social media platform disinformation. we don't have responsibility so is easier for us to make observations 'bout long-term impact o' government interference with the internet. we don't have the spectres o' unnecessary dead weighing on our conscience. not scapegoating. not even close. HA! Good Fun!

am thinking you are looking at this wrong. often there is no good solution, and even if there is, all too often the precedent set today breaks things in unanticipated ways in the future. from our pov, the right question is as follows: who do you want making those necessarily imperfect choices 'bout what should be allowed on an internet platform? Gromnir and @Guard Dog do not trust the government with such regulation. gonna suggest bruce indulges a read Fahrenheit 451. get enough o' the right registered voters complaining 'bout the threat of antivaxers or muslims and all kinda limits may be designed to protect society from those threats. "enough" doesn't even need be a majority in the US system. do you trust facebook or individuals to make the right calls on such issues? if so, you are, from our pov, naïve to the point o' self crippling. again, am recognizing there is no good or even best solution, but am much concerned what happens if we put the hard choices 'bout liberties up for a vote. let biden, corporations and consumers put pressure on facebook. if people are able to shame facebook into changing policies, how is that any different than civil rights groups putting pressure on coca cola during the 50s and 60s? regardless, we don't trust US Presidents to consistent make the right call and those representatives o' our fickle democracy constitute the biggest threats to our liberties. HA! Good Fun!

HA! Good Fun!

biden saying mean things 'bout facebook don't count as a first amendment violation, and suggesting the proliferation o' misinformation regarding the vaccine on social media platforms is contributing to the deaths of americans is hardly a controversial position at this stage. whatever. is amusing, but the only reason why facebook can play the role o' pontius pilate and claim it has no responsibility for that which is published using their resources is 'cause o' Congress and not the first amendment. Congress could, if it so desired, remove the immunity from litigation facebook enjoys regarding material third parties publish using their platform and doing so would not violate the first amendment. however, that act by Congress would most certain severe undermine the free exchange o' ideas via the internet. biden is pointing out the obvious and letting facebook and other maintainers o' internet platforms decide what to do 'bout it. is not a free speech issue. is a balancing quandary for facebook and others, but is not freedom o' speech from any legal sense. how much liberty to post dangerous mistruths is ok? ain't the government deciding but facebook, so is no government censorship issue. is a question o' responsibility and facebook is clear motivated by mercenary concerns as 'posed to the well being o' the american people... which doesn't necessarily make their relative hands off policy wrong. facebook has not attracted new users for a few years and as such they is desperate to keep their current pigeons fat and satisfied. increase moderation and their birds will fly away to other venues. refusal to moderate more aggressive is based on facebook's bottom line as 'posed to some kinda sense o' civic duty, but so what? Congress were not wrong when they first granted groups such as facebook immunity from civil suits. increase the responsibility o' folks such as facebook (or obsidian maintain this message board) means the free flow o' ideas would be diminished to some uncertain but no doubt significant degree. regardless, biden saying mean and true things 'bout facebook is not a free speech issue. HA! Good Fun! ps as we has said in the past, all liberties has a body count, whether you wanna admit it or not.

... germans will ruin everything if you give 'em a chance. take a sea shanty and make it sound like they is 'bout to invade __________, and they is gonna enjoy doing it. shouldn't be a surprise at this point. charlie don't surf HA! Good Fun!

the problem is we got a good bs detector. just a couple examples, but ask self, where is true neutral or sharp_one? we confronted 'em 'bout their s'posed jokes, and they got angry. clear their jokes were more serious than claimed or they wouldn't have had their little apoplectic events. fact gd says he is joking 'bout they are all bad, then defending that very same point in multi-page threads over and over again is not a particular strong defense that he is joking, yes? sure, he finds funny that the right or the left doesn't realize like he does that they are all corrupt, but he is in fact quite serious 'bout the point that they is all bad. bruce ain't been paying attention. and no, we don't take lcrimson serious. am self aware enough not to make rocket's mistake. HA! Good Fun! ps added the movie clip to keep relevant to the thread.

saw the first three episodes of we are lady parts. am not usual a fan o' the english brand o' humor (with a few notable exceptions) which depends excessive on physical gags and finding creative ways to string together an improbable succession o' increasingly embarrassing moments for the protagonists. even so, we did smile frequent and laughed more than once. it's... fun. HA! Good Fun!

you are as bad as gd. that said, rest assured, we do not take you serious, if that were a genuine concern. at times bemused? definite. serious? anything but. HA! Good Fun!

major bug: if you save and then load on a map, non party npcs on the map in question may from that point forward be rendered incapable o' dialogue interaction. complete exit the game and reload does not fix. this is a quest killer bug and as such am setting the wotr beta aside for the moment. HA! Good Fun!

sounds like an added bonus, depending on the President at the time. not sure who takes the snake plissken role. is simple no possible replacement for maggie, cabbie or brian hellman. ... am embarrassed to admit that when @Malcador made the nuke suggestion, for a deranged moment we wondered what time o' year would be most advantageous for florida's prevailing winds to avoid unnecessary fallout for the rest o' the continental united states. HA! Good Fun!

you gonna be the guy to tell clancy brown he can't be in the credits? that said, the wardrobe change for perfect tommy were the thing which triggered our ocd. HA! Good Fun!

not a cgi complaint or defense, so apologies, but in the music thread there were a condemnation o' 80s style which we found odd. in one o' those weird synaptic non-sequiturs, we couldn't help but think o' the end credits for buckaroo banzai, which from our admitted skewed and personal notions o' fun and kewlness, were achieving near pinnacle status w/o the need for any kinda complex practical or cgi effects. HA! Good Fun!

laugh if you will, but the kraken lawyers weren't offering better in arizona, georgia, nevada, wisconsin, michigan and pennsylvania. aside: for those curious, brady holds that the state must provide the defense with exculpatory evidence in their possession. in other words, if the state has evidence which shows you are innocent, they got an affirmative duty to provide such to you and your defense. HA! Good Fun! ps am gonna indulge full @Guard Dog conspiracy silliness and point out that the dress sidney powell is wearing in the linked article is no doubt an oblique nod to the watchmen 7th kavalry. am not serious btw.

might be more efficient to "wall off" florida. am able to see multiple tangible benefits from doing so, and am suspecting it would actual be easier to cordon off florida as 'posed to the entire southern border as were the plan o' the previous admin. HA! Good Fun!

no argument from us on that point. HA! Good Fun! ps so is clear, am not dismissing the opinions o' cuban ex-pats. am thinking those who left cuba likely did so for reasons which were substantial and meaningful and we listen to such. the stories o' cubans fleeing/fled cuba is well documented and is one o' the reasons we tend to roll our eyes whenever northern progressives pretend as if the cuban government and people is victims first and foremost o' US oppression. *groan* nevertheless, if one is gonna complain 'bout objectivity, the anecdotes o' people who fled from a regime can't be your only source, or even your primary source, when trying to discover truth 'bout conditions in cuba, particular conditions in cuba today. those most aggrieved is a legit source, and their stories is demanding an audience, but such folks obvious got a skewed (if well deserved) pov. dismiss any objective measures o' healthcare as fatal and irredeemable unreliable while simultaneous only proffering anecdotal from the aggrieved should raise questions o' legitimacy... but curious does not.

you didn't claim the south florida cubans were objective? *chuckle* you moan 'bout objective and then offer offer anecdotes from south florida cubans and your ex wife? clear we missed the meme, yes? so, conspiracy theories 'bout WHO and personal anecdotes is your response. let us know when you get to the objective, eh? please recall we stated we disagreed 'bout the majority o' the statement released, but you is dog with a bone and fight to the death gonna argue cuban health care based on personal anecdotes from your ex wife and cuban ex pats, while moaning 'bout objectivity? want us to dig up stories from The Media suggesting cuban health care is excellent, particular given fact they got a per capita gdp 1/6th that o' the US? how convincing will those The Media stories be, eh? this must be a gd joke post we just ain't getting, yes? you is doing a subversion thing, yes? is performance art or a meme w/o sharing the funny? wouldn't be first time you claimed such, so am never certain. who numbers. unicef numbers (which admitted mostly come from who sources) is all wrong but you offer unverifiable anecdotal as a response while complaining 'bout objective? so where is your objective proof that the who numbers is wrong? where is your objective? *sigh* as to blm, what should be obvious is that a bunch o' folks running a website making a statement is far easier than an international movement with no leadership hierarchy attempting such a feat. such should be obvious even to gd's conspiracy fogged brain. is ez to get a handful o' people who run a website/pac to cobble together a statement in a day or two. get a worldwide movement to agree to a statement on cuba or climate change or which fast food restaurant offers the best chicken sandwich is gonna be difficult. btw, we offered links from The Media which shows how blm is purposeful decentralized and is not having any genuine capacity to speak for the entirety o' the movement. ignored. oh, and speaking o' the media, even the national review cautions against what gd reflexive indulged. nevertheless, 'cause The Media agreed with his embraced narrative for blm, gd glomped onto such with his usual vigor. how many times have we been down this road, eh? we will note silence from other blm organizations pushing back on the already released blm statement regarding cuba is the smart move. it does not in any way help blm as a whole if each chapter is public arguing every time a statement gets released. from a national outreach pov, this cuba thing is not a big deal and is doubtful anybody wants to die fighting on this hill. undermine your own legitimacy over what is a tangential issue for the movement would be stoopid. 'course stoopid is often the more predictable outcome, so silence is surprising but welcome even so. for chrissakes, a few posts removed you even brought hitler into the mix. welcome back vol. HA! Good Fun! ps speaking o' chicken sandwiches, we were surprised to discover burger king offered an excellent chicken sandwich. genuine shocked. a friend told us the spicy version o' the bk new chicken sandwich were at least as good as the offering from popeye's so many raved 'bout a couple years past. honest, we never had the popeye's sandwich, so we got nothing to compare, but we did try the bk version some time in late may and it was tasty. the sauce were kinda a tangy mayo with a bit o' sweet which added little to the experience 'cause it were so uneven distributed, but the pickle slices were crisp, robust and flavorful and the chicken were tender and juicy with excellent breading which were not excessive. am not gonna wax rhapsodic 'bout the bun, but we had no complaints. rare do we indulge in fast food, but the bk chicken offering were enjoyable.

oh, well, the cuban expats is your objective source? serious? ignore the statistics and rankings by WHO. brush off the obvious gdp imbalance. but yeah, is a whole bunch o' angry ex-cubans who quite understandable will never say anything positive 'bout cuba is the totality o' your response. a bang up job o' showing us how you is the one being objective. oh, and now gd sudden defers to some kinda gestalt The Media response as the measure for truth? want us to find all the times you has criticized media for their knee-jerk responses even when they did get it right? but again, this time, 'cause The Media as you see it agrees with your narrative, you is embracing. your obstinacy rendered transparent. HA! Good Fun!

who the hell is "they" and what makes the account "theirs"? you spoke of obstinacy previous, but you are offering a master class in it at the moment. just because there is a blm logo attached to a post from an account which has words corresponding with blm in the address don't make it any more "they" or "theirs" than any o' those innumerable "official" kardashian accounts. the folks who posted the statement can't get a freaking trademark for their logo precise 'cause they don't represent blm in any meaningful way, but because their statements fit your narrative o' what you expect them and they to say, you embrace obstinacy. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2315760/ The new Cuban government in 1959 began overhauling the for-profit health system which, 30 years later, resulted in free health services for all its citizens which is integrated with national social and economic development. Life expectancy in Cuba is higher than that of the US (72.5 vs. 71.9). Health workers have eliminated polio, tuberculosis, typhoid fever, and diphtheria. Malnutrition incidence amount 1-15 years olds is 0.7% compared with 5% in the US. The Cuban health system began in the 1960s as a curative system based in hospitals but shifted during the 1970s and 1980s to a primary health care system based in communities. It consists of 6 hierarchical, interlocking levels: national health institutes and hospital centers (quaternary care-super specialty), provincial hospitals (tertiary care-high specialty), municipal hospitals (secondary care-specialty), area health centers (primary or community care) serving 25,000-30,000 people, sector polyclinics serving 4000-5000 people, and minipolyclinics served by a family physician team (family physician, nurse, and social worker) covering 600-700 people. The family physician team strategy has strengthened disease surveillance and completed information about health status and characteristics of neighborhoods. Neighborhood residents determine their own health care and protection. In fact, volunteer brigades build minipolyclinics and housing for family physicians and nurses. Critics of the Cuban health care system claim that the physician-to-population ratio is too high and that it makes up too much of the gross national product (almost 15%). etc. now keep in mind is an apples v. oranges situation. the annual per capita gdp o' cuba is less than $9k compared to US o' more than $65k. nevertheless, thanks to obstinacy, gd ain't even willing to concede that point, eh? if were no better than stitches kinda first aid, life expectancy wouldn't be better in cuba than the US, though admitted such were pre pandemic. in spite o' devastating sanctions and an embargo by the most powerful economic force on the planet, cuban health care, by numerous objective measures such as life expectancy and childhood malnutrition, is doing better than the US... which is not saying cuban is better than the US, but again, we are comparing vast different economic situations and the fact cuba is beating the US in numerous objective measures should be embarrassing. dog with a bone. HA! Good Fun!

am having troubles with any mystery save ancestor. HA! Good Fun

am not having difficulty creating a new character, save to note owlcat is keeping their curious demon sub-categories for favoured enemies, which broke any number o' class features in the previous beta build. HA! Good Fun!
