The US tries to push this more and more I've found too. I ended up going along after my old-school doctor retired. It's not that I can't see the real doctor, just expect it to take longer to get appointments etc. For me though, I'm really just showing up to get blood work done so I can track certain things ahead of time.

So it's not a ton different with us having the big insurance model, just less forced. I'm actually considering looking into something like hospitalization-only insurance if such a thing exists and planning to pay the rest out of pocket. You'll find US doctor's offices can often be receptive to the "how much if I pay you right now" model and it's not all that ridiculously priced. Hospitals on the other hand, wow. I had a surgery over a decade ago, I kid you not I was on the hospital premises for less than two hours from car door to car door, and it was around a $20k bill. Of the total bill, the highly experienced surgeon I'd chosen got less than 10%, anesthesiologist got about 15%, the remaining 75% went to the hospital. $15k for two hours in the hospital, one of which was spent in waiting rooms and the like.

You know, they might be cancelled years later when the list of prohibited words changes and they were found to have used such word in a previous project.

which means anyone trying to play an Xbox One console with dated software will not be able to access Xbox Live or make any digital purchases. Similarly, games that require an online check will also not work.

That is always going to happen at some point, no matter what. There's a reason why so many are against DRM, single-player games requiring online, inability to host private servers, etc. Every game that fights that will be dead. It's why I buy everything on GOG I can and archive it, and why I'm totally loving my short lived Linux gaming experience so far, because it's just so good at making shit work.

Saw something about that yesterday. Just like the others, nothing of value was lost.

I get very little from video game voice acting anyway. For years and years it was text on screen. I'd take well written text and good music 100x over a voice actor.

Sounds like he paid the stupid tax to me.

I'd go for a temporary mod just to see how it goes. Would be interesting to rotate temporary mods. In a way, "here it's your turn to clean up the shit this month."

Where I get concerned is just handing the reins to autists just like Reddit but with different values. Most of the old school of Reddit mods didn't start out with ill intent, they just can't help themselves after a certain point. Then before you know it, all kinds of deletes just because they think they are helping. In which case, I'd really prefer deal with a mod that doesn't come around all that much and a block button.

I've not been that bothered though, I just ignore and move on for the most part. The only thing I might do is restrict handshakes from top-level posts.

I wonder what message gets into the youth there. If they are accepting the woke message, then it's only a matter of time. That's really where I see no end to it in the western world, I mean what percentage of people under 30, under 20, etc accept all of this fully? It's a large number.

This nation was founded on a simple yet profound principle: No one is above the law.

I don't recall that in the Declaration of Independence. I guess it was founding "our democracy"

I haven't seen a single Harris ad. The beauty of browser ad-blocking plus Pihole plus ignorance of television.

If only I could get ads off of normie social media, but that's somewhere I spend very tiny amounts of my time anyway.

So what happened to them then? There's tons of them that can't blame things like slavery and hood culture all over Sub-Saharan Africa, yet in many of those places, this fake historical photo would be more advanced.

I'll throw it on the list and see sometime. I did always tend to favor X-Men over the traditional Marvel stuff (or whatever you'd call it)

Yeah I like these posts occasionally to sift through for ideas. Particularly if I ever see things light hearted and actually funny. The most dead genre, since they can’t make fun of things anymore.

Hmm. I’m going to ignore Japanese things,because I was new to that in the last five years and I don’t have a good enough handle on their timeframe. Also leaving video games out, I could find plenty.

Movies, well, idk maybe Dunkirk and The Mule. There’s not much. I used to take my friends teen kid to Saturday afternoon movies a ton in the 2012-14 timeframe, he was going thru some stuff and it was a nice break, so I saw a lot of the movies released around then. We realized after a while they all sucked. I still remember the supposed hype of Gravity and walking out wonder WTF was so special. It’s what kicked my exploration of old movies off really.

TV shows: Better Call Saul, Chernobyl (HBO), Narcos (Netflix), Clarkson’s Farm, The Grand Tour, another weird German series on Netflix called Dark. I didn’t like any of GoT that actually released in the last decade, so that’s out. I can’t think of much else.

I’m sure there’s things I liked that didn’t stick with me, or I liked the first season then it turned shit (Mandolorian) There’s probably also something wrong with all of what I listed because there’s Jews, women, leftists, trannies, Muslims, communists, or what not in them. I don’t need it rubbed in my face, I didn’t keep a notebook of wokeness, I just watched them and liked.

Yeah immigration is a huge problem too. I don't think it takes away from the other in that people need to make themselves valuable, but I also can't help but wonder where I'd have gone today if my favorite field (tech) wasn't so saturated with Indians. It basically totally ruined a career choice I grew up on, outside of perhaps consulting--because when it comes time to actually get something really necessary done, the Indians just plain suck.

I've bitched about the Muslims quite a bit and make fun of them all the time.

I'm also still totally fine with them having their space in the world. I really can't think of a reason I need to go to their lands and push them out. They just need to be gatekept out of mine. I have way more problem with fake "Christians" that bastardize the name of Christianity to support faggotry than I do with the Mohammadites who tend to play their cards out in the open.

I also can't find any evidence that she is even on Xwitter at all. She has those followers on TikTok. So it's the Chinese...

She's also apparently a Kindergarten teacher. I hope her internet fame has made that into a former Kindergarten teacher for the sake of those kids.

I would alter this statement as such, "You can’t have a million dollar dream with a minimum wage work ethic personal responsibility."

It's just another article selling communism to people who never took the personal responsibility to learn any skill that made them have real value. Something the average person cannot do themselves. So they get lumped into minor jobs, jobs that take advantage of them, or the new term they like to use "gig economy," until the communists come and promise to take from those who do have valuable skills and spread it all around.

Yeah, I get it, the job market and overall employment in general sucks, and I figured that out a bit when I decided to walk away from the corporate world. Not that most of what they bitch about ever applied to me, because if your corporate job is of any value all you really have to do is convince everyone you will get whatever shit needed done, and they learn to leave you the hell alone.

I can't remember what they currently have that is still any good. However, I've managed to make a comprehensive list of their future game releases to look forward to:

For sure. I mean there's the other part in the bible about a false teacher being better off drowned in the sea. Half of what Jesus talked about was essentially how horrible it was to be someone who leads others to sin. Letting those people fester without even so much as being challenged, under the guise of forgiveness or love or whatever, is about as antithetical to Christian principles as you can get.

Well then, I've got 12th gen at least.

I was considering getting something like a 13/14700T whenever I did a GPU upgrade, with those being low power models I assume it's still the same silicon anyway so the same problem. Oh well, they haven't said a word about RX 8000 series in a while and I'm not sure I need an upgrade anyway. Kick the can down the road.

The name of the game fits, well...at least if they are trannies it does.

Forgiveness is for the one doing the forgiving. To move on and not carry a burden of what someone has done against you. Accept that God will ensure the sinner face a just punishment. Repentance is towards God, who knows if it is true or not. It does not ensure freedom from worldly punishment. I'd actually argue that a Christian who broke the law should not seek to escape just worldly punishment--to the point I even wonder, should a guilty Christian enter a not-guilty plea? That's masking a sin with another sin (lying).

Nonetheless, you're right the "church" as presented in a mainstream context is a temple of Satan and does nothing more than serve to present Christianity in a negative light.

This is addressed in the bible too:

preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; correct, rebuke, and exhort, with great patience and instruction. For the time will come when they will not tolerate sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance with their own desires, and they will turn their ears away from the truth and will turn aside to myths. - 2 Timothy 4:2-4

Words like rebuke and exhort are not often used in the bible in a "friendly" context. These fake Christians should be called out aggressively.

All these things they were told and all this stuff they put on racism. Yet no one ever tells them. Your symptoms are because you're FAT. Go on a diet already. Those poor chairs would thank you.

I wouldn't go five miles to yell in the faces of someone publicly supporting trannies, or Communism or something else I hate. It's useless, a waste of energy, and can only serve to make you look like a fool on the internet.

I can't imagine going to the other side of the world and doing it.
