It seems that it took 2 days for a new militia group to rise up and topple Assad’s government. I assume that there are foreign supported militias by the US, Israel and Russia, and of course Russia is strangling out Ukraine which takes up more of its time.

Oh my goodness I do not remember it being this much of a chore to play. Crashing at various loading screens, half the time it doesn't save beforehand. The disk is clean, my console doesn't have any issues with any of the other games I have. Is this a specific problem to BO2, an age issue or did Xbox send out some update recently that breaks games? I don't have access to another disk to see if it's a hardware issue.

Modern day slop or decent movie?

2023 was a strange year, both good and bad (mostly bad). 2024 should be insane, and I hope you've mentally prepared for it. I'm sure this election year will make 2020 look tame and boring as we move further along the destruction of the once-great West.

Fun times!

Permabanned from a longtime account on my primary subreddit, and given an administrative sitewide temp ban for a few days for something that is stupid.

If you've heard of the Matt Araiza situation, you'll probably have an idea of how this happened. I was asking if we had known anything more about the girl who had lied about the whole thing or if she was getting off scot free. Permabanned for doxing (or attempted doxing, something stupid). This was buried deep on a thread about it, with a couple upvotes, and I got permabanned for it. When I asked why they were protecting the identity of a liar willing to ruin someone's life, boom this morning hit with a temp ban across the entire site. Oh well. My account was definitely not targeted for any other reason because I avoid politics entirely on that stupid site, so here I am.

(All the girls information, her face and name are online and published by papers that can be hit with libel, as I would later learn)
