The shot was taken across a food court - 40 yards sounds right.
I train at 32-yards with good consistency. But that's not under duress, with a static target, a lower rate of fire and a clear firing line.
Hats off to the kid.
The only issue is how low the mortality rate of monkey pox is.
Slavery is alive and well in Africa and Asia as well. The number of slaves currently in circulation allegedly eclipses the number of slaves distributed throughout entire periods of slavery.
Acknowledging those realities would undermine both the narrative and the profitability of so many western commodities though, so they are ignored.
They want livestock. Livestock dumb enough to go "I have been told that this has a good chance of harming me, but I was told to do it, so I will do it with a smile".
Indeed, hence my concern.
A series of damaging vaccines to create hesitancy amongst the cynics, and a single effective vaccine to preserve the livestock.
even if the polio vax hasn't changed
I remember reading that the Bill & Melinda Gate Foundation effectively reintroduced, or at the very least proliferated polio in parts of Africa through their vaccination efforts. Years later, I don't have the original article, but after a quick search this at least covers some of the same content.
Changed or not, I don't want it. That said, the unsettling realization is that cultivating vaccine hesitancy would be a logical first step towards selectively killing off a portion of the populace. Fucked, either way.
Homosexual behavior, not aversion, was commonplace among the ancient Greeks, Romans, Celts, Slavs, etc. Sparta and Thebes based their militaries on it. The universal disgust you describe never existed...
And it's really fucking funny that we have this global elite, known for psyops and gaslighting, and you think they're glorifying heterosexual men in dresses and drag queen story hour in order to get you to accept homosexual behavior... instead of the opposite.
The notion that homosexuality was accepted was popularized by idle 18th century aristocrats. A similar trend exists today, with modern sentiments being projected onto select sources to defend the notion of social constructivism. The advocates in ancient times where the elites of both Greek and Roman society - ritualistic pederasts; I guess some things just don't change. In Sparta it was proliferated by the oligarchy as to maintain hierarchy - domination. Given literacy rates, the selectivity of sources seldom speak to common sentiment. As is seen in the very different sentiments of some Athenian democratic scholars, who despite their concern of offending those in power, at least cautiously referenced perspectives of the vox populi.
That said, even by pederast standards, homosexual acts where considered the destruction of masculinity - a fairly universal sentiment in the west. The limited tolerance was clearly defined and to be practiced on slave boys not yet men. For any freeman to freely engage in such acts was thought disgusting. For any slave to enjoy the act was shameful/impudent. The notion of homosexual union was absurd. So much of what people regard as "acceptance" was prison rape enabled by social status. Literary treatments considered homosexuality with the same gravity as adultery, which is to say severe. That the limited instances of recorded disdain of the elite, by the commonage, frequently include derogatory references to pederasty is telling. As is the fact that being called a "passive homosexual" was regarded as the gravest of insults. You cite the Sacred band of Thebes. When they fought fearlessly to the last man in defense of their people, they earned the respect of Phillip. So much so that he built a monument and issued a decree to preclude their mockery. Such a death was regarded as the highest honor, yet such protections were necessary because of how poorly homosexuals where regarded by the commonage. And yes, the mentions of a disease, now understood to be Syphilis, are inseparable from the pederasty.
With all that said, I was referring to societal norms that don't celebrate fucking children so long as they don't yet have facial hair - that is, after the arrival of Christianity. I appreciate the irony of that statement given the incidence of pederasty in organized religion. I simply regard a belief system that forbids pedophilia and shuns its proponents as a net win. Finding sources of contempt and disgust from that point onwards shouldn't be hard; Both in regards to its deviation from the "natural order", and in regards to the act itself.
You literally made something up and then explained human evolution in terms of the thing you made up
Disgust as an adaptive evolutionary response is established. As is the evolutionary motivation of stigmatization. As are the studies reporting similar alpha-amylase activation when straight men are shown pictures of homosexual couples and rotting corpses. Or that syphilis was one of the leading causes of stigmatization in early Europe. The stigmatization wasn't limited to homophobia, but also xenophobia, see "The French disease." Not universal, but consistent.
If Pride reflects on me, then abortion reflects on you.
I don't support abortion - outside of severe medical complications.
I'd rather we treat each other as individuals
If the content of your post is anything to go by, I doubt that doing so would change anything.
Thanks for the summary, and sign me up.
I haven't a clue what the book is about, but the 1-star rant/reviews on GoodReads makes me want to find out.
Because you can't groom a highway.
Oh look, an actual soyboy.
Homosexuality does have an evolutionary purpose. The evolutionary "value" of homosexuals is providing for their heterosexual siblings. That is, evolution deemed you unfit for replication, and thus you exist to enhance the chances of survival of non-defective elements of your genetic line. In the modern context, with the massively reduced risk of child death, that makes you and yours effectively worthless.
Homophobia, like most stigmatization, has evolutionary roots too. Stigmatization exists to avoid associations that negatively impact survival. Disgust, the sentiment most commonly associated with male homosexuality, is an adaptive survival mechanism. It exists to enable disease and pathogen avoidance. Even without the historical context of male homosexuality being deemed unclean and associated with disease for thousands of years, the disgust that enables homophobia is a natural, evolutionary response in the same way that avoiding stepping in dogshit is. Furthermore, avoidance of people who seemingly do not have this adaptive mechanism is itself inline with evolutionary stigmatization.
Nice whataboutism on the abortion though. Most are capable of taking issue with more than one societal ill at a time.
Disgust is also part of the human experience, and an evolutionary survival mechanism grounded in disease/pathogen avoidance.
Why exactly are we prioritizing the feelings of evolutionary dead-ends, marked for genetic deprecation by nature, to the detriment of society?
Always with the projection.
Until that day, they were the only major Western game company to have not shit out a women's day propaganda post.
Fuck celebrating hateful people who have contributed nothing but misery to this world.
But you didn't take issue with the "Rainbow Royale" LGBBQ celebration, the "We the People" BLM extravaganza or any number of endorsements of leftist ideology targeted directly at a disproportionately juvenile audience? No, it was women's day that was a bridge too far.
I actually have to ask whether or not you're referring to half of the global population. Ignoring the continued existence of our species, and the fact that even you have likely had enough positive interactions with women to invalidate such absolutes, answer me this. Has BLM contributed something other than misery to this world? What will the LGBT...'s lasting legacy be?
You're entitled to your opinions; But shitting on someone for learning a skill and developing a hobby that might actually make a positive contribution, however small, to an industry most of us care about is a bad look, even for you.
Been revisiting Dragons Dogma.
For those not familiar with it, it's a western-themed action RPG, directed by the guy who directed the (majority of the) Devil May Cry franchise. Capcom cut the budget mid-production, and a sizeable portion of the game was left on the cutting room floor resulting in a pretty shaky launch.
Despite that, it has a strong cult following and tried a number of really interesting things. A ton of rather unique mechanics and little subtleties. Prior to Elden Ring, it probably has the best combat in an open world game IMO.
The guy who has been simping for Epic all along on grounds of the faggotry that is Fortnite now takes issue with someone learning a skill because said faggotry included a woman's day event. Yeah, seems on brand.
Just another peaceful jogger.
Gaddafi wanted to stop selling his oil in dollars.
They could have backed their money with whatever they wanted without a full scale war.
Lol.
Gaddafi, and his value backed currency, were repeatedly called a threat global financial security. Such claims get made every time a nation strays from private central banking. The instigators tend to land up equally dead, as well.
I honestly thought it would be a Clinton.
It was alright for 2 seasons. After Fentanyl Floyd though, it went full retard with the BLM messaging and nearly halved its viewership.
If it is theoretically supported, then I wonder if there just happens to be some bug that breaks it in the version of Unity you're using or something
It doesn't appear to be version specific. We've tested newer builds since URP recently added some PS2-era innovations like decals and light cookies which we understandably wanted. Unfortunately, they also introduced some show-stopping WebGL shader compilation issues...
As it stands, "directional lightmaps" are supported, but I believe specular contribution has been deprecated, which is bizarre. I've always known directional lightmapping to refer to RNM, which was conceived to address this issue in the early 2000's.
you start the game with an on-screen prompt directing you to the papers...
Nice idea. We'll play around with it as time allows internally, and see how fresh eyes respond in the next release.
but it took me a bit to even get out of the first room since I was just clicking the door instead of click and dragging
We'll be adding an interaction icon that indicates the need to drag the doors, to begin with.
adding some indicators to the books you need to pick up, and the destination slot
We discussed this briefly after receiving feedback. We'll likely tie the degree of affordance to the difficulty setting, with easy having a persistent glow to indicate both objective books and return slots.
a flashlight or the option to adjust the brightness would
We have a basic gamma slider in the options, but will look into adding a flashlight.
If all those graphics are custom, they look quite nice, great job.
They are, thanks.
it didn't run that great
Brave in Ubuntu 21.10
During internal testing we noticed some performance issues with Brave. We're looking into it, but unfortunately as with all web development, one is ultimately a slave to vendor implementations.
The notion that something is acceptable because it is biological and/or immutable is beyond retarded.
Psychopathy has its biological origins. Something tells me these disingenuous twats wouldn't volunteer as victims for the BTK killer. They just expect you to be fine with someone's kids, potentially your own, having their lives destroyed.
