Reality vs Adventure

Anyone play Tormented Fathers? Since it came out before Broken Porcelain, I wonder if I should check it out first. It's on sale at playstation store $8.99. https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP4448-CUSA12030_00-RM1RELEASE000001

I have a bunch of Robot Chicken DVD's. It's funny. I love it when they do Gi Joe skits.

I roll my t-shirt sleeves up with a packs of cigarettes and grease my hair back with a left earring; I drive a motorcycle with a black leather jacket; I have a tattoo of a teardrop under my eye; always have a toothpick in my mouth; nawww, just kidding. I sport thongs at the beach. Naww, not that either. I guess none. I was never really a follower. I was a natural born leader. Naww, joking again. I have natural holes in my jeans cause they always get snagged on fences around here. People think I'm trying to be stylish, but it just gets torn easily. Those who make the jeans and buy hole jeans are trying to be like me lol.

Facebook has a decision to make in 2023. With republicans now calling for countries to ban the social media giants after Nigeria's president banned Twitter for silencing the president's violation of abusive behavior, Facebook can either cower in 2023 for fear of republican rule, or they can put all their bets on the table and stand for democracy. Because if Facebook gives in, the GOP will turn it into a state run platform. GOP war on democracy, war on social media, war on corporate America, war on culture; yep if it aint a nazi yet, I aint got no clue to wut one is.

They don't fear those things, they just fear not holding power because they even said themselves that they won't ever win another election because they are a minority. Their only way to win is to set the stage to cheat elections. Remember they stopped all election security bills when they had power; they called on foreign hostile countries to help them win elections; they have no policy except to please racist agendas; Their only motive is to restrict voting; they will stage another coup if they lose again; they are traitors. They are nazis. They are corrupt. They are hostile. They are domestic terrorists. We know exactly what they will do if they ever gain power again. It will be the end of democracy after 250 years if they gain power in 2024. And that is no exaggeration. They will attack all social media. They already have their state run nazi news network. Any future voting will be fake like Putin's fake democracy. It's gonna get ugly because unlike Russia, the USA is extremely diverse with the majority of whites who are republican are a mixed bag of racism. They are klan, nazi, confederates, boogaloo, qanon; and a majority of them would love for a genocide. It will happen little by little with mass incarceration. They will carry out more and more public executions and legalize it across states. Eventually they will form concentration camps. And the genocide begins. And that is without a civil war. With a civil war, the genocide will be swift if they are in control of government during the war. History will call them out for genocide and they will forever deny it happened.

They must have pre-shrinked the bills, cause it stays the same size after washing. Just don't use bleach. Nobody takes white cotton dollars.

Wouldn't having a reset button be the same as time travel? It would be cool to go through life and finish it, and just like in games we can go back to whatever chapter we want to play or relive. And if we could reach all achievements in the game or in life, then it will be saved. We can change the stats, story endings, get wealth, whatever. But we have to go through life first to fully experience it whether good or bad. Then go back to change what we want once we reach the afterlife. That way we can know the full experience of things. Cause you never know if a mistake or some tragic moment didn't change your life for the better, or change it in some way where you never would have met your spouse, or become a war hero. Who knows what the outcome would be if we stopped and reset every moment we didn't like. Who knows what people you never would have met, what pets you never would have had, what relationships that never would have happened. So to go through a full life first would be interesting.

I love GTA6 too; I play it all the time. How is it not GOTY?

The orange blob of doodoo is banned till 2023. An interesting thing I saw today was that the Nazi said that he should have banned Twitter while he was pretending to be a president, as he agrees with Nigeria’s president banning Twitter for violating ‘abusive behavior policy.’ And now the twice impeached bafoon is calling for countries to ban Facebook and Twitter. The world is becoming a very dangerous place when these trends trickle and trickle and trickle without consequences. They need something to fear to bring back the balance.

I wouldn’t mind getting a racing game like Need For Speed, but I’m having a freakin blast and a gaped tooth smile playing Mad Max. GTA obviously is good too. But the desert is more fun. I can’t think of a bad one.

Maybe dragons would keep mankind in check. But what will happen when dragons hoard all the wealth? Humans will find a way to enslave them or promise them all the riches to annihilate cities. Or steal their eggs and raise them to do bad. Humans need something to fear. We need a predator out there that feeds on thousands of humans a day. If we can get 20 million humans eaten a year, that would be good population control. That would be 200 million a decade. Sounds mighty tasty don’t it?

Whoever came up with the idea to use paper as currency is genius. lol I see the reality of the gaming world becoming full blown subscription. Gonna have to kneecap those sharks.

Now they ended the Coke ban after realizing that the coke machines didn't even belong to Coca Cola and received backlash that actual working class were being fucked over their jobs from this ridiculous stunt. Nothing like a petty law where republicans hurt workers in their own county. Should I say it? Fucking idiots.

That came out wrong; the ones taking a stance for rights is symbolic because they aren’t donating to protect rights such as voting; but those in favor of voting restrictions don’t go public, they just use their money to talk. So it seems there is fear to use money to stand for rights, and fearless to use money opposing those rights.

I completely agree with you on this. There is only one way to dissolve most problems with corporate America; that is to ban lobbying. That way if they ever take a political stance, then it will be up to the consumer to boycott the product or not, and not have to worry about their money going into government to support what someone is against. The corporations can donate their money for aid out of good conscience and a tax break, but never to a puppet and a bill. There is a loophole though, because even if lobbying was banned, they could still donate to a bad cause outside of government. The most important thing is ban lobbying and empower consumers. There should be greater awareness for consumers to see where corporate money goes. This is exactly where capitalism fails, when they are allowed to market for a cause, get money from victims, and donate it to government to pass a bill to fuck over the people they marketed for in the first place. So that person’s money is used against them. And they really are hypocrites for not helping more around the world. The USA is symbolic though and if they take a stance here, I guess they feel it resonates to their other locations. Think about the gaming world though how it has locations across the world but many times act independently. Do corporations have separate funding and decision making for another country? Can the CEO pull funds from Israeli branch and donate to aid civilians in either Israel or Palestine? I think the current climate in the USA and the clear division happening between corporations and party lines is more symbolic than a financial approach. But I say just please stop the flow of their money into government. That is a nose dive into the reckless pits of greedy hell.

It is good marketing to support that community, but always consider where their money trail goes. McDonalds, Walmart, and Amazon are in hot water for showing support for LGBTQ+ and yet, they have donated to politicians actively working against that very community.

When you are that out of touch with whoever your target audience is, that is really bad business and they should take a re-evaluation on their marketing department and all who approved it. How can you not have known this will cause negative feedback? Innocent demonization? That happens all too often and repetitively to be considered innocent at this point. Lack of sympathy? Unable to predict consequences? I get that it’s a fighting game, but stay out of it if you feel that victimization is honored by making the victimized a challenge to fight. New ivy gear or something would have been appropriate, or play Ivy with super strength and abilities. These mistakes are a pattern that needs to be shattered. A pattern with no end because it is an illness. It’s a mental illness to not be able to sympathize. It’s degradation of humanity to not know if something this obvious would be offensive. And I do believe they tried to balance advocate and business, and sorely fucked it up. Lack of common sense? Maybe. Things I have seen in this pattern of unsympathetic behavior from those at the top, borders on negligence. And deniers will of course say it’s just a video game. And that pattern lives on in society till it all crumbles into tyranny. And when we go back to witches getting burned at the stake, and slobbering fools throwing bread, then the realization sets in; that is who these deniers are.

Wow, I got to try that. How long in the sun? Is it covered?

I’d definitely go with tacos because there are so many different ingredients and seasoning to put in there. @The Blackangel you can get the hamburger and fold it in home made tortillas...lol. Man, I don’t care if it’s burger, fajita meat, or beans; I will load them tacos with cheese, tomato, sour cream, salsa, cilantro, lettuce, onion; avocado? Sure. I’ll eat 20 tacos a day if I could. Damn I’m hungry.

Tea for sure; even caffeinated tea has just the right amount of caffeine where it doesn’t irritate me. I don’t like the affects of too much caffeine. I’ve become a bit of a tea connoisseur. I’ve got tea from all over the world. I have a tea tumbler with infuser, all I do is boil water, only takes a minute with an electric kettle and put it in tumbler, then put the leaves in the infuser; it’s done pretty quick. The tumbler keeps it hot or cold for many hours in case you want to save it.

Another thing I want to add is that Major League Baseball even pulled the All Star game from Atlanta over the new voting suppression bill. Since when the hell is MLB democratic bigotry??? I always thought it was anything but liberal. But they are standing with democracy.

The Houston area/Harris county is an extremely diverse city that is liberal. Atlanta Georgia has a very large black population where new voting laws will directly affect them too. Black churches have 'souls to the polls' early on Sundays to vote. And republicans have made it so the polls won't open to the afternoon. You have to understand the whole point of these laws is to make the lines longer in bigger cities with less time to vote and harder access to get there. And I'll say it again, urban areas tend to be more liberal and diverse. Not everyone is going to be able to take another day off work to stand in line all day if they weren't able to get in the doors the first time. This tactic was used when blacks in the south first got the right to vote. They even worded their new voting bills 'purify the ballot box'. They said the same exact wording in Jim Crow era of voting when they tried to weed out the blacks. At least they redacted that wording after being confronted by it. Will republicans be affected? Sure, but not nearly as much. Take a rural town of 10,000 or 20,000 or even 50,000 people. How many of them might not get the chance to vote, or be deterred from voting? Now take a few million people with limited access and reduced days and hours. Yeah, there will be republicans with the same problem in these directly affected counties; and to me, it's as if they are used as a sacrifice to deter the larger demographic. But if the people in larger counties endure chaos and lower voter turnout, that will in affect increase the rural voting power of the swing states. It is up to every individual to risk their jobs to take that time off to vote, to get the transportation necessary, go with a friend and bring your own water, go early as possible, make sure you are registered because they are dumping people off the registry, know when to ask for a mail in ballot, fill it out properly, get a witness if required by the new law, know exactly what you need to do ahead of time.

And shelter, there are people out there that live a nomadic life. There are others trained in military or terrorism as kids that spend their lives living in the wilderness. There are also adults who train in military living in conditions without shelter. Do they prefer shelter? Can’t say for sure. Do tents count? We all need protection from the rain, but otherwise there are plenty who enjoy sleeping under the stars.

I don’t think everyone agrees on that cause how many times is a politician depicted as a saint or god sent? Not everyone is an advocate for clean food and water. Many people don’t even care and actually support the opposite either politically or financially. The places that still have lead in the water, at least a few years ago, there were people knowingly drinking that stuff and pushing that it isn’t so bad. I saw on a documentary after the Flint Michigan crisis. I don’t think there is a single thing everyone can possibly agree on. If you can come up with it, I will bow down to genius.

You just described half of America
