Reality vs Adventure

Ummm, so you guys believe some billionaire wants to chip you through a vaccine and not Elon Musk who is already under investigation for torturing monkeys trying to open their brains up for Neuralink? Wow, the hypocrisy.

Some games in VR actually ask if it’s ok to monitor your voice reactions. To me it’s kinda creepy for games to monitor you. If Thymia is used to detect depression then it can also be used for a million different things. Knowing you are being monitored can affect results of reactions as well as affect immersion lol.

While I was playing they got a season 3 update now. So it’s worth another play to finish. I do have to ask how long COD games are these days. Are most of them fairly short? I can see why they might have shrunken games some to save gb space, but with how impressed I am with Vanguard I wish it was longer.

Saints Row The Third- it’s a world of fun. Saints Row is fast becoming one of my all time favorites Battlefield 1- from 2016. Giving game another try since I’m into military games now. I first played it a couple years ago. Another game I didn’t appreciate at first. I’ve definitely grown to respect games more. Battlefield 1 no doubt is pretty good.

I finished COD Vanguard. I wish it was a longer game, maybe a couple more missions. Overall, I’m really impressed. Great experience I had playing it. Oh, Lady Nightingale, wow

Right after Elon Musk bought Twitter, the Department of Homeland Security has created the Disinformation Governance Board announced on April 27th. It was created to fight the misinformation from Russia's invasion and Russia's threat to meddle in future elections. It would also help prevent misinformation of our borders from smugglers profiting off of drawing people to the borders. "The Department of Homeland Security is stepping up an effort to counter disinformation coming from Russia as well as misleading information that human smugglers circulate to target migrants hoping to travel to the U.S.-Mexico border. “The spread of disinformation can affect border security, Americans’ safety during disasters, and public trust in our democratic institutions,” the department said in a statement Wednesday." https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/homeland-security-tackles-disinformation-right-balks-rcna26633 So hopefully this can restore a bit of faith that there is something being done in this country to protect people and our democracy from hostile misinformation. And Musk and the republicans are obviously not too pleased with the announcement. Of course they would get offended by that, why wouldn't they when they depend on lies and conspiracies that harm lives and democracy itself. Meanwhile those republicans banned books in schools, banned talk of racism, history, civil rights, women suffrage, gender identity, etc. in schools. They got no room to talk anymore. They don't even want to have debates anymore because they can't face public criticism of their craziness. Meanwhile, Musk is trolling liberals every single day now since he got Twitter and he already broke contract agreement with Twitter where he was not allowed to talk bad about Twitter board members until the deal was finalized, but Musk keeps shit talking everyone. Maybe narcissism is setting in as he ages. Looks that way. His power is getting over his head. He's joking around (or is he) about buying Coca-Cola to 'put cocaine back in' as well as McDonald's. And republicans were trying to ban Coca-Cola for speaking out against republican voting suppression bills. So it's obvious Musk just wants to troll liberals now. And republicans are abusing their power and attacking every corporation that speaks out about their hate bills. How did these people get so vindictive? But I hope things can get a little better if we had less Russian lies, Covid lies, election lies, inciting violence etc.

Republicans in the state of Idaho are now refusing debates in their elections. This is the republican trend now. They can’t answer to the public about their fringe immoral politics.

Thanks for the nomination and you deserved last months win. Congrats! Rubbing my hands together, thinking on who I should nominate. 😄

Social media shouldn't have to suffer from a few bad apples. We all need social media to know what happens in the world but when those in power abuse the media and then take it away from citizens is a dangerous move. That's why I worry about Twitter becoming privately owned now instead of publicly owned because now with Musk's alignment with republicans, they can do what they want with the social media even shut it down if they feel it necessary to block spread of information from citizens in case of a future crisis or just censor whatever they want. Of course there is still Meta that is still publicly owned which have had its share of profiting from right wing misinformation and hate. So my faith now resides in the prepping laws Europe has taken to combat this with the Digital Services Act for Europe. The rest of us are vulnerable to the abuse from those that control social media. Especially in Nigeria I fear for the conflicts that can happen there in relation to the president and what happened in early 2021 and how that can affect your social media in the future. I'm not familiar with the history of your government and the coups that have happened, and the civil war. I hope recent conflicts doesn't put innocent people in harm. That's where social media becomes most important to help the rest of us understand the situation. Our social media is more important than ever especially with all the events in the world. But Twitter took a negative turn. There will always be misinformation, I understand that, but inciting violence and Covid dangerous lies has to be held in check which Musk is not the stand up person for the job.

Elon Musk is now using the Twitter platform to attack liberals. Today he makes a meme calling liberals the radical far left. Sound familiar? That's what the looney republican fascists keep saying. But hold on, no criticism of the far right? The radical fascists who constantly call for violence, firing squads, coup attempt, threatening to murder the vice president and house speaker, and killed and attacked cops at the capital? The radical right wingers who is attacking the LGBTQ community, physically attacking students and parents at schools, banning history and talk of race and gender and amendments to the constitution in public schools? The far right who goes on mass shootings, voting suppression and election lies, Russia supporters, Covid conspiracies and acting out violently for wearing masks? Oh, but Musk, the rich guy who probably hangs with the 1% calls liberals radical. Today Musk declares himself a right winger. He says he is center right, but no he isn't if he's attacking liberals and not conservatives. He is the far right now. Twitter is fucked. As the far right continues to get worse and worse, the center, left and progressives seems like the radical left to those insane genocidal maniacs. Looks like both trump and Buhari had it coming for them. That's interesting you point that out. I remember hearing a little bit about that. There was so much going on here that I hardly payed attention to what happened with Buhari. So the Nigerian government banned Twitter in retaliation to Buhari's ban correct? Looks like Twitter made some kind of agreement with their government to allow Twitter and Buhari back. I wonder if Twitter made some agreement with Musk or if Musk is going to make an agreement with trump to let that crony back on Twitter in time for midterms. And it's ironic that trump might be back on Twitter to tweet his garbage while Musk is sitting here criticizing the left. Trump even backed the Nigerian government during that time of the ban and trump was saying all countries should ban Twitter. Well, it's the radical right wing platform now. All it ever takes is a rich man with no soul.

It may benefit the publisher for that exclusive period to interest the customers but the developer will suffer with lower sales, marketing and publicity during that period. So I think it benefits the publisher and hurts the developer. It’s a great opportunity for Indie developers to sort of get sponsored by a publisher and be exclusive. For big titles not so much.

They must have fixed them bugs cause I honestly barely encountered any. It’s a top notch military game I’ve been playing everyday now the past week. I don’t have much military games to compare to but who cares. I think it’s a great game.

Time is irrelevant. To us, time is an orbit around the sun which causes seasons to change. Then we created minutes, hours, days, and years to coincide with the orbit around the sun. The sun itself is a star. Stars are born and stars die. When stars die they give off energy and elements. Energy is what keeps things in motion and the elements are available to randomly create life where it can form an organism that can survive its environment. Then it evolves in a long process. Every generation the genetics change. You carry traits from each parent. Many of us has neanderthal DNA. On this planet we have the laws of thermodynamics where energy is neither created nor destroyed. It gets transferred. Energy is basically what time is. The second law of thermodynamics is that energy constantly works towards disorder of a system or the entropy of a system. Entropy is basically what death is. Aging is entropy that constantly heads towards disorder. And finally death is the transfer of energy. The universe is constantly in motion. That motion is based on energy that humans define as being time. That's all time is. It really isn't anything at all except an increase in entropy and the transfer of energy. I guess you can say the measure of time is chemistry and physics. I see God as none other than an effigy of the properties of chemistry and physics. If a person believes that humans were just born and placed in a suitable environment by God, then they have to say that their beliefs also rejects all the properties of chemistry and physics because that is what time is. Since energy is neither created nor destroyed, time is neither created nor destroyed.

Trump wasn't banned for stirring up the mind, he was banned for inciting violence relating to his coup attempt.

At least I have trust that Europe did the right thing and they set an example for no toleration of dangerous rhetoric, but here in the USA is going to get real ugly, especially if Musk lifts the ban from devil trump and at a time where we are about to go into midterm elections. Almost seems planned that way. The vileness from republicans and their competition for creating the most vile conspiracies is a complete danger to everyone. With Musk looking to punish liberals for whatever petty reason, is cause for concern in this country. What's next? Some rich asshole going to buy up news networks?

I didn't even know bibles were allowed in public schools, but after doing a search I see that it is allowed in libraries. According to the laws passed, it should get banned. End of story, no exceptions. This is another case of selective enforcement from the republicans. In all seriousness, everyone should bring this to the courts. Put republicans on the spot for once and have them defend it. This is another reason why republicans want to destroy public schools, so that they can control private schools where they can do whatever they want. That's why we see a surge of republicans across the board trying to increase funding to charter schools where its the gateway to privatism. A republican politician just called for the elimination of public schools and have it all private. Do a search on google and see all the different articles how republicans want to destroy public schools. That's what all this is really about. They want complete control over kids in private schools. In order to do that they have to bring chaos by making public schools dangerous, making teachers fear their jobs, eliminate funding or transfer it to charter schools, lower teaching standards so that they can claim public schools have lower test scores. It's even a segregation strategy where neglected public schools will only be available in minority neighborhoods, where their district is gerrymandered so bad that they have no voting power whatsoever.

Way to go EU for the new Digital Services Act. At least Europe is protected for the hate that's coming from Twitter soon under the rule of Elon Musk. EU warns Musk: "The board [of Twitter] will have to make sure that if it operates in Europe it will have to fulfil the obligations, including moderation, open algorithms, freedom of speech, transparency in rules, obligations to comply with our own rules for hate speech, revenge porn [and] harassment,” Breton told the FT. "If [Twitter] does not comply with our law, there are sanctions — 6 per cent of the revenue and, if they continue, banned from operating in Europe.” "Mr. Musk knows this well," Breton tweeted. "He is familiar with European rules on automotive, and will quickly adapt to the Digital Services Act." https://www.cnn.com/business/live-news/elon-musk-twitter-04-26-22/h_1ad84e0622981970be5d1e150750117d Too bad the USA doesn't adapt these rules. I'm sick of republican lies and conspiracies that endanger everyone.

More specifically, the trademark has nothing to do with anything; that tweet by Boebert was a display of her ignorance because she confused a trademark with a copyright. Also, the clown mispelled "Micky" in her tweet. It's Mickey. Boebert is the same lady who is trying to make a bill to not recognize 1st place swimmer Lia Thomas because she is transgender. That tweet from Boebert is a display of her ignorance for all to see. But DeSantis, Florida's governor is penalizing Disney now. And right wing protestors are throwing little protests at Disney trying to block its entrances. And why? All because Disney voiced an opinion. So where is all that freedom of speech??? Fuck you lying republicans. You don't give a damn about free speech. Our courts don't mean squat anymore. Florida's supreme court is republican. They tossed their oaths out the window. They have allowed all this crap the governor has done. Florida is in an authoritarian state now. And the federal supreme court no longer exists. The republican majority there also tossed their oath out the window. They also have allowed all this nonsense with schools and abortions as well as racist gerrymandering. For christ's sake, our miranda rights are heading to the supreme court now which is supposed to protect us from unlawful arrests. Miranda rights are up for debate now? WTF. Let's watch republicans throw it out the window.

The Florida republican governor abused his power to go after Disney because they criticized the governor’s ‘don’t say gay’ bill. Disney has all the right to sue against the governor’s retaliation and abuse of power. This is a serious thing now where republicans feel they have the right to politically abuse corporations. Beginning stages of totalitarianism.

Twitter caved in and sold out a major public social media platform to a rich bigot who wants to attack liberals. Twitter will now be privately owned which means it will become cultish. And with Elon Musk now catering to right wing conspiracies, we can expect a lot more inciting of violence and harmful conspiracies being allowed on Twitter. And we can expect the devil trump to be back on trolling. What a happy world this is becoming. If only there were laws to prevent rich fucks buying up social media and news networks. We can only have true social media when it is publicly owned.

Celebrities are people too and have issues to deal with like anyone else. They can get a DWI and look like the worst criminal with a drunken photo because of all the publicity. It's all just a matter of what kind of crime they commit and what kind of punishment they get. Minor crimes with drug use gets you locked the f**k up while cheating taxes, paying off prestige schools to enroll you kids, and all kinds of shady things gets celebrities probation and maybe a month in jail. Celebrities can slap someone on live tv with no consequences. Fame should bring greater responsibility, but sometimes they forget to take the limo instead of showing off their Porsche while drinking.

Seems like Modern Warfare was one of the best titles. I'm gonna have to get the remaster version for sure. The previews on the game looks pretty good. I don't mind playing a modern setting.

I don't understand why Vanguard doesn't have high ratings because I'm playing it and it's amazing so far. I haven't encountered any bugs or glitches. It's a very story oriented game with great cinematics. Is that how most COD games are now? Everything runs smooth and the graphics are superb. I guess I must play other titles if Vanguard rates lower than the others. But the flock is in lala land these days so I'm not gonna listen to negative reviews and proud to say Vanguard is a bad ass game so far. There are a lot of in depth feelings involved and not just the characters but also the scenery; the calm before the storm; feelings the game is trying to portray. I think they have done a great job. It's definitely sparked my interest in other COD titles.
