Reality vs Adventure

Why is Russia in Chernobyl? It’s a contaminant power plant and pretty much an exclusion zone.

All three were found guilty of hate crimes to add to their sentence, but it's something any sane person already knew. As mentioned before, with a different judge, jury, those murderers would be free. There is something called 'peremptory challenges' that is legal in the court system. It's when the defendant or attorney can excuse jurors who they think may be biased, but that is only if the accusers don't present a 'prima facie' argument that the defendant's reason was racially motivated. I know it's confusing. But in this case the defendant's attorney wanted more 'Bubba' and 'Joe six pack' on the jury so their 'peremptory challenge' didn't quite go as planned. But even if a jury was replaced, there still should always be mandatory diversity on all jury. So the replacement jury will still have other ethnic groups. That way they can't keep claiming 'peremptory challenges' just because a couple black people were in there. So diverse jury should be mandatory in all jury, in every city. So in Arizona, republicans are trying to pass a bill HB 2413 to get rid of peremptory challenges in the court room. And the reason is obvious: to prevent black defendants from using their right to change a jury that is all white. And of course it goes both ways, but since most of the time it's a black defendant and all white jury, it's obvious that blacks will be affected the most. But hey, since it goes both ways I hope the bill backfires on them.

It's like it's some kind of joke. There are romance scenes so maybe that's what the purpose is for. Supposedly you can't romance one of the female NPC if you play the female, so that's another hypocritical thing while you can customize the character to be a trans. You should be able to romance whoever, especially in a game like Cyberpunk 2077. I think the game was more meant to play as the male protagonist because all the romance options are open with the female NPC's.

So I finally got to play Cyberpunk 2077 on ps4 and everything worked fine. Only time will tell if it stays that way, so I will keep myself with low expectations. Relating to this topic, the character customization shows breasts, penis, and vagina. I don't even understand the point of customization at all whatsoever because the game is in 1st person. You can even change your customization whenever you want when you reach your apartment. So again, what the hell is the point? And to even go through the process of customizing breast and penis size is just to get people talking about it, since it has no purpose and you never see it unless you change your customization features at the apt. I played both male and female characters to see which is best and I think I'll stick with the male since the voice goes better with the environment, but that's only my opinion. I read up to see if Cyberpunk will ever make it 3rd person, but I highly doubt it. It was made to play 1st person. Never know though. So the nudity serves no purpose other than to get attention. Saints Row 2, you actually can run around nude, but the parts are blurred. So why that hasn't spurred debate while Cyberpunk has, who knows.

Not necessarily because China has been taking over the S. China sea and antagonizing other Asian countries while also having their eye on Taiwan. Taiwan is Russia's Ukraine. This sort of thing is not going to stop at all and NATO really needs to take a stand for international law. Or we could just let them do whatever they want and ww3 will get forced on us all eventually anyways. So either way, conflict will come. It's a matter of who will be better prepared for it. So the NATO Missile Defense System that keeps getting postponed due to Russia's opposition should go ahead and get finished since Russia is going to do whatever they want anyways.

Nobody wants a third world war and I hope it never comes, but Russia broke international law and if there is no consequences, then it's free for all to enter the imperial age again.

Why was that pipeline even being built in the first place giving Russia an advantage over European gas? I think all trade with Russia should cease and turn them into N. Korea and starve them out so that Russian citizens will revolt against Putin. But they will just find trade else where. And Germany can't send Ukraine weapons because of laws from WW2 era. Why doesn't NATO go ahead and bring Ukraine into full NATO membership and join forces?

VR would kill the tourism industry especially when Covid25 destroys the transportation industry.

Definitely, because it jumped back to 99+ hours left. I don't think it's gonna work. lol

We might even be able to discover the ISU first civilization that went extinct and survives in alternate realities and technologies as realities become a simulation after simulation. And they can warn us of the fall of human kind.

I'm still downloading the damn update. lol 10 hours left it says. 🤨

And before people get their panties bundled, I'm talking about real actual terrorist threats, not some angry guy yelling. I'm talking about those that plan attacks, have illegal weapons, catch them in the act by infiltrating them. For example, a couple years ago a few far right people were arrested by the FBI in a plot to kidnap the Michigan governor. And their defense is that the FBI set them up and made them do it. Fuck that. If they were caught in the act, they are guilty whether they were given aid or not. So set them up for all I give a damn. They still have a choice to partake in terrorism or not.

My initial reaction when I think of extremism is terrorism, but I guess that isn't always the case; although I do believe it's an end game. Countries need to redefine their terrorism laws. For example, Canada has banned Proud Boys while USA politicians hire them as security. Italy and Germany have more strict laws against neo nazis, while in my country they can protest and wave flags as if they were ISIS with rights. And there are those who wave confederate flags everywhere. That flag represents those who lost a civil war in my country who were pro slavery. I would have banned those flags a long time ago. It has no place in society. So staying within the constitution, we need to define terrorism laws because while where I am, we have international/foreign terrorism laws but not domestic. Sad to say, but even if we did define domestic terrorism, those extremist politicians will try to use those laws against political opponents, protestors, and movements. We need to use all our resources and infiltrate extremist networks. I'm talking straight CIA/FBI/NSA/007/Green Beret shit and bring them down like it was the American Italian mafia wars.

I wouldn't know how to word it...my take is biased I guess. @Techno asks the better questions.

True to that; maybe the post should have been in debate section?

Some countries have domestic terrorism laws and other countries need to define those laws while staying within their constitution. There also needs to be international terrorism laws to prevent extremists from going on hate tours and building international networks. The problem with these laws is that the wrong people in government will use it against political opponents that aren't even considered extremists or terrorists. So we need those laws, but it will be exploited. I believe extremists need to be treated as a mafia/gang/spies and do some hardcore detective work, infiltration, 007 shit, to bring them all down; catch them in the act of terrorism. The USA took down Italian mobsters in that historic past, no excuse why we can't do that now. For christ's sake, a far right extremist left a bag full of bombs at a BLM protest to try and sabotage the movement and all he got was probation for it while other bags and explosives were found in his home which means he was planning on doing more of that. So we can't really enforce laws when extremists are also part of the police and court systems. So that's why I say it needs to be treated as a mafia or worse.

You are a fucking idiot for thinking the middle class has no sympathy for the poor because most middle class have worked their way from the poor on to being the middle class through education and skills. I'll rephrase for you; the poor and middle-class have nearly no sympathy for the rich.

Pfizer has been approved by the FDA and all vaccines are always going to have those that have health complications from it. I was a big anti vaxxer and even got the religious exemption from being vaccinated while going to a university years ago. But we are in a pandemic where many people have died. I weighed in on my decision to get vaccinated because my life is more valuable than to risk taking the chances catching Covid. As far as I'm concerned, you people have made your decision and have put yourselves at a great risk and i could care less if you died from Covid. But at least wear a mask and show some consideration to communities and people that may be vulnerable. That is your responsibility as a human being, as a citizen. But people getting violent for being told to wear a mask, and ripping masks off of other's faces, and throwing hissy spoiled brat fits on airplanes and everywhere, it's all ridiculous. The conversation may be about vaccines now, but your people acted the same when it was about masks before vaccines were even made. What was the excuse then? Personal rights was it? Taking a step back from the evolution pool are we? Go ahead and fall behind. We will throw you a ball when you start licking your own ass.

That's good to know and something to adapt to I guess since I just bought all three Mafia.

If women didn't shave, they all would have mustaches! Bad joke, bad joke...who cares about a little peach fuzz on the chin these people want to complain about. They have to realize that as games become more realistic looking, there will be more textures like hair and wrinkles, freckles, blemishes, etc. Those things add character. It becomes too repetitive when every female is supposed to look a certain way. Aloy is one of my favorite female gaming characters and they shouldn't concern themselves with that b.s.

Mafia Definitive shouldn't even be an open world because the missions just ends and starts right into another with little chance to explore the map.

There are way too many Putin sympathizers in the USA. I wonder if they would even fight for America or side with Russia if we were ever in a war. A lot of treason going around from right wingers. Not to say you are with them, but you are getting borderline if you even show any kind of respect for authoritarians like Putin. Strong leaders are righteous leaders. Asking the question if a democratic leader could have done the same as Putin just belittles democratic governance as if you assume things can only be achieved through thuggish tactics. If you showed a bit more respect to democratic leaders and not Putin, then maybe you can inspire your peers instead of their anti American values inspiring you. In other topics you say trump is bad, you say thuggish leaders is bad, and I respect that, but you got me wondering what it is you really believe because you respect Putin while he is about to invade another country. And there are pro Russian rebels in Ukraine who are now fighting. My question is how many pro Russian rebels are in the USA? So before you bring questions like this to the table whether or not democratic leaders can be as great as Putin as if he is some great leader, ask yourself what kind of people are you hanging out with that inspires this kind of sympathy for murdering leaders. It's not even a debate to be had and I get the feeling you are here to plant seeds in people's heads to sympathize with Putin in his attack on another country. And you claim to be conservative and liberal, but all I've seen come from you is right wing debates. I don't mind debating, but I don't want to be lied to. Maybe you do think trump is bad, but you probably even voted for him in 2020, so maybe you are fresh out of the cult and still have lingering effects. I don't know. Maybe you just wanted to pacify people by saying you were both conservative and liberal. You definitely are closer to the far right than you may be aware of. And even hinting that Putin is a great leader while questioning democratic leaders is greatly offensive to me.

It should be ready to try tonight; was a big update to download like almost 60 gb. But it's downloading 1.51. That means 1.50 had some issues and I looked up to see if 1.51 fixed it but supposedly that has a bunch of corruption issues. I'll find out soon enough. You are right about that. 1.51 is already out and probably a 1.52 soon. Shoot, in a week it'll be at 4.51.

LOL; I haven't even tried that yet. I thought about gearing up as a cop around the gang members and if it would even work; then I thought, there's no way! 😆

It's definitely some cool music to listen to. Great finds. I have to say GTA has put together pretty good music stations. I think that music sounds a lot better the what we have on the radio.
