I also am the type to save at a save point, try a new section a few times until I get a perfect no-resource/no-damage run, then continue, so I probably have more than one should reasonably have


Thats usually the way I play survival horror as well. Thanks for sharing . This game wasnt on my radar at all. Getting some old Condemned vibes from what Ive watched...which is series I've longed to see return. Was going to check out Routine but think I'll give this a shot first.
What platform are you playing on? Keep seeing reports that the Series X port is bit of a mess right now. One complaint said "Past a certain point there’s absolutely no healing items so your always one hit from death in a game that has hordes of enemies around every corner." Is that part of the game or that an Xbox issue? I assume its just part of the game

The big issue nobody is discussing is that she kept "dating" him while this was happening. She was somehow conditioned to think this was OK or normal.


Not necessarily...she may may been scared to stop seeing him...hell she coild ve been turned on by it..Its still terrible abuse by someone with a screw loose.

Butler told her he wanted to strangle her, so he could film it on his phone," according to the affidavit. "Butler got on top of [Kate] to watch her pass out. He set up his phone to record it, so he could watch it later. [Kate] lost consciousness on this occasion as well," police records said.

According to the affidavit, investigators searching Butler's phone found a video from Aug. 1, 2024, which they said backed up what Kate had alleged: it showed Butler "strangling [Kate] until unconsciousness."

He's definitely got serious mental issues and will likely hurt someone else in the future. shite like this makes my blood boil. Those girl's poor parents. As a father Im not sure how I would deal with knowing that frick is out there.

I have memory going regularly to this place called the Catfish Shack (not Catfish Town) in BR as kid. Thinking it was somewhere around Lee Drive and Highland. Mainly remember it as it had the Spy Hunter arcade game that I loved. Anyone else remember this place?

I went to watch Age of Disclosure yesterday, but it is no longer free on Prime. Rent or buy only. WTF for??


I dont recall it ever being free....not yet. It just had a limited theatrical release a couple weeks ago so its following the same streaming pay path as every other movie. Will go down in price in a few weeks and be free early next year probably.

Those that werent fortunate and came into the US under Biden's TPS...do you agree with Trump admin terminating their status?
Trump declassifying some UFO files isnt necessarily the same thing as UFO disclosure...at least in the sense that most folks in the UFO community think of as disclosure.

will agree you are grasping to a ridiculous take and leave you to go on about your day


Just trying to have a friendly conversation ..once you get past certain metrics like symmetry, age, skin health, complexion .. from ugly or unhealthy to average I can somewhat understand scientific approach. Part of that is hardwired in our evolution.... .its more subjective going from average to supermodel. ........was Cindy Crawford objectively more beautiful than Elle Macpherson? Any how...Good day to you as well.
quote:

Yes, there is science behind it.


There is but to a limit then it become subjective...wouldn't you agree?
quote:

Her face alone is objectively above average


Is beauty objective? You mean like really symmetrical? :lol:

quote:

But maybe fat faces do it for you.


I do gravitate more towards the Kate Upton /Caroline Levitt fuller faces.


quote:

She is objectively above average


Okay I'll admit her body is definitely above average. I was mainly talking about her face.
quote:

So in your opinion, all average girls can look equally as attractive as Sydney Sweeney with make up?


I mean most women dont have personal or professional make up artists at their beck and call but yea imo average women can definitely look as good as her. ..anyone that picks up women from a club looking fine at night then seen them after a shower the next morning knows this is pretty much par for the course.
quote:

So wait, is she average or is she like most women? That's a contradiction


Most average looking women can doll up to look nice. Sydney Sweeney is not naturally gorgeous imo but like most average looking women she can dress up on put on the right make up to look very attractive.
She has definitely glowed up since her Handmaids Tale days....

I agree with those saying she has an average face but she dolls up well...not sure why folks on here think that is controversial to say....it no different than most women.

If we imported a billion immigrants tomorrow from all over the world, the economy would show an "improvement". However, it would not, imo, be an improvement to the majority of the current American's lives.


Fair enough, but we cant even get a handle on the data showing what they contribute vs what they cost. There is so much we really dont have a firm grasp on as far as impact positive or negative.
quote:

The price of everything goes up, because the demand is outstripping the supply. When they go to the emergency room because they don't have insurance, who pays for that? You do, with increased premiums. When they get in a wreck with no insurance, who pays for that? You do. When they have children, who pays for their public school? Not them, because a vast majority are getting paid under the table because they aren't legally here. And don't even get me started on the ebt cards a lot of them use.


quote:

So if you don't think they are net drain, then you're a dumbass. Use some common fricking sense.


There are studies from reputable think tanks that look at all that data. CATO, a traditionally conservative one found that ilegals contribute 300 billion in taxes more than they take. There are others that conclude differently. I'd like to see more before drawing a conclusion
.
Our own governor Landry on Jan 16 2024 directed every executive branch entity to provide a written report to the Governor's office within 120 days detailing public services or funds expended "for the benefit of illegal aliens.The stated goal was to "analyze data to determine the financial burden" on Louisiana taxpayers and potentially to "send the federal government a bill" for the expenses incurred.While the order set a deadline for internal agency reports around May 2024, news coverage from after that date does not indicate the public release of a single, consolidated report with a final financial figure. Political analysts suggested the order was primarily a "political exercise" to pressure local authorities and justify future legislation rather than a typical public study

So we cant even get a comprehensive cost benefit analysis in our own state even when demanded by executive order of the governor. Its pathetic.


quote:

It does matter because they are costing American taxpayers somewhere between 150 billion to 450 billion per year. So the extreme lengths we have to go through to get them out of here aren't because we just hate them, it's because they need to gtfo because they are actively harming America.


There is no single, widely accepted consensus on whether undocumented immigrants cost more to the government than they contribute financially. You cite FAIR, I'll site CATO. You site CIS, I'll site CBO. And considering the indiscriminate nature of how these deportations are being conducted, we dont know if we a getting rid of those that were net contributors or takers. We will find out the true cost/benefit of these deportation efforts hopefully a few years down the road but as of right now, with the notable exception of getting rid of some criminal aliens Im not positive it will be a great improvement for our economy.

i never gave this a fair shot


Pre patch 2.0 it really was a mess. Cool story, awesome setting but it felt like and ocean wide and foot deep with everything else. Post 2.0 patch its fantastic. Like a new game as far as gameplay, AI and skill tree progression. Phantom Liberty is even better than the base game imo as far as story. I sunk over 200 hours into it and I'v never done that with any other single player game.

Of course he will say that.

nyone near the rioters/protesters is either playing a part in it or just incredibly ignorant to drive or stroll up in the middle of that crap. If he really was innocent it’s understandable why he in a car along side protesters and not following instructions fully got arrested.


Did you even bother to watch any interview with him? He was hired to work security at the farm. he was trying to go to work for his first day there.

Understandable that he got peppered sprayed, removed from his car and held for 3 days without ever being charged?...for showing up to work?. ...shite going to happen during these raids. I can understand it. What I dont understand, is DHS making ups excuses for ICE's frick ups and covering up their shite behavior. You make a mistake own up to it and pay the price.
quote:

Just happen to be driving up with protesters approaching ICE officers and refused to reverse when ICE told him to do so

quote:




If you listen to his interview the situation was a shitshow...he was goigg to work security I beleive at the raid site..he said he was getting conflicting info and these dudes were telling him to reverse while other guys were telling him to stop and get out. I give him the benefit if the doubt to some degree as regardless 9f my position on the current deportation efforts...Ive seen some truly clownish amateur hour shite when it comes to coordination tactics of many ICE officers during these raids....especially earlier on this year
