Reality vs Adventure

I don't think I have the concentration for drawing anymore, but I remember how much I loved it. Forget about trying to draw from your head. Look at an object and just take your time drawing what it looks like. An egg is always a good place to start because of its shape and lack of any detail. Practice the shapes first. Then work on line quality; that means look at the light source and just make the line darker where there is less light and without taking the pencil off the paper, make your line get lighter and thinner and barely visible as you curve it around the part of egg where the light hits. Once you get line quality down, then practice shading. Eventually you can draw the egg just using the shading technique. I used to always draw outdoor scenes in charcoal. The whole dark and light affect really makes things stand out. But to get the shapes right I would just softly sketch an outline first to get proportions correct. DO NOT try to start drawing people or faces first.

If we had EMP's, we could decimate every robot in a large radius. Zombies, you have to destroy a lot to destroy them. Then it's one by one. Without EMP's, you will run out of ammo real fast and you would be damned if the robots were able to build new robots. If there was a power source and a water source, you can set traps and short circuit them. But at least robots don't spread a virus to infect all; or does it? So if I had an EMP arsenal, then robot apocalypse. If not, then zombie.

Hot dog is a taco

Actually, I have bathed with charcoal soap, and I have charcoal powder for toothpaste. So I guess I can brush my teeth with natural charcoal soap that has a natural base. Ugghhh, sour milk? Maybe add droplets of blood and snake oil to it to get the chin hairs growing.

That's insane! It is disheartening to think about who the actual people that died may be. The show kind of reminds me of Final Destination where you just can't escape the inevitable. But, some of those deaths could have been avoided, at least, for the day.

You kidding me? The whole republican party is based on lies and conspiracies. Why don't you start asking yourself, where is all the god damn proof of the hogwash that spills from their tongues??? Where is all the god damn proof of their election lies and wanting to overthrow democracy? You defend them with all their conspiracies? We got the right to vent. Americans have gone through hell with your kind of people defending and supporting a news network and a political party that is borderline terrorists. If ISIS had rights and a political party, and a news network, it would look like republicans in America. So if you are gonna sit there and defend everything that party represents, then we will have a long, rude debate.

If I was 60 maybe. That way I would know whether to eat what I want and drink what I want. Or to spend all my savings so the government won't steal it all. Or know whether or not to spend a fortune on healthcare or treatment. And I would know if I had enough time for one more pet. 😢

Nothing like using nukes to horde all the potion to save lives. That's humanity.

That series was out about 10 years ago. I never knew if it was real or not, but people died by things you wouldn't believe. Bunch of freak accidents. If it was fake, they did a good job anyways. I don't ever see it on tv anymore.

I don't think war will bring about extinction. A really aggressive microorganism can come close, but people live in such remote places that they will survive such things. I think it will be a natural disaster. All it takes is a dormant volcano or something to melt all the glaciers and under water we all go. Even those remote places will have an impact on their food supply. Or a meteor. Those are sudden extinctions. But we are on track in a slow process to drive ourselves into extinction by contributing to climate change and messing with food crops, and aiding superbugs. If left alone to humans, it will be multiple factors we do that will lead us to a slow annihilation. Unless of course we really do create our own zombie virus.

Health potions would make us careless. There would be less scientific thought or research. Potions would become only available for the wealthy; maybe short supply. It would be monopolized. There would be fake copycat sellers. It would get militarized. Factions would form that would try to destroy it as it is claimed to be the most evil thing in the world. Regulations would go unchecked. It would become prescription and overused just as antibiotics are. Our natural immune systems will weaken the more we use it. Nature can no longer weed out sick DNA. Human civilization genetic variation is no longer viable and sustainable. Dependence. Evil entities add nanotechnology to it doing who knows what. More street violence as everyone has a can of health. Complete obesity dominance. Population spike as better health and no std scare. Our bodies become more and more resilient to the potion requiring more and more, more potent form. Less supply. Genetically modify or evil experimentation to produce mass quantity. Something will go extinct supplying it. Becomes politicized. It still will only help 1st world countries and not available for the rest of the world. Mafia forms again to try and control it in some way. Plus side is less antibiotic resistance as we decrease its use. Or, parasites evolve and get highly aggressive so you have to tweak the potion every month. Disease or something wipes out supply resources so the world's dependence collapses and mass disease sets in and annihilates all 1st world countries. 3rd worlds become first worlds and end up owning it all. Then one day, they discover a health potion.

I've only seen them fly a few feet in the air for a short distance. Either way, they still won't fly worth a damn even if their lives depended on it.

Clearly put and I agree with you. Just watching the normalization of it unfold leaves me shocked. Many things at play here and everything should be a case study in the psychological field. Those things at play from the one recording, to the Karen, to bystanders, security, police, police report (in another video part 5 I think). I think what the mental health problem is, it's the normalization/entitlement/victimization/racism all at play.

The one recording, they actually did ask her to leave. This whole scenario smells of racism, but it goes deeper than that. We have lost sense of right and wrong, childish adults not getting punished, privilege, acceptance, normalization, too much tolerance, not enough tolerance, you name it.

Did you watch both videos? I'm not gonna have pity on her when in the second video she started lying and called the cops saying the other lady is threatening her when in fact she rushed the lady recording her twice. And everyone else just stood around and she just laid on the ground. Later on in the police report, the Karen stated that she was wrong and didn't want the video to cause her to lose her job and apartment as the reason why she broke down.

These videos pretty much says it all. If you watch the whole thing and break it down, you can really see exactly what is wrong with America. I do believe we have a serious mental health epidemic in this country. Why could be some reasonings behind it? What can we do about it? Any real solutions? The reason this video sparked me to post this as a debate is not because she is another Karen, but because of how everyone reacted, as if it was a normal day.

I know how to gleek. It is spitting without any noise and barely any mouth movement. I used to do it to people all the time as a kid. And they never know what the hell it is and look up at the ceiling. It can reach pretty far too.

I won't leave any area unexplored

Throat stabs

Anywhere it's not stable. Nothing like trying to have a nice dinner date, then a bomb goes off. "Oh come on, don't let that kill the moment. It's just fireworks!" "Then why is everyone running?" "They just don't want to miss the show. That looks delicious, how is it?" "Umm, maybe we should go." "No no, it's over now see?" BOOM "That was not fireworks! I'm leaving" "Damn, that's the second time this week. F%%%. Guess I better stop by the video store." BOOM

I think certain themes in a game can boost a certain individual's esteem. Kids for example love superheroes and playing a game they love would probably make them enact that character in real life making them feel brave and righteous. A psychological game with a good outcome from some kind of abuse can boost that person's esteem that had similar issues. Simulation games can help break away fear barriers like heights, if they played a flight simulator or something. And even games with a strong character having a controversial sexual orientation can help boost the esteem of others. Personally, I can't think of a way gaming has boosted my esteem. I think VR can really help some people with esteem problems by having a public speech game. Cause who wants to speak in front a bunch of people?

I played my first play through and lost. I couldn't affect the world lol. It's more difficult than I thought. It is trippy to think about infecting the world, but you actually can learn a good deal about it. It definitely is an interesting strategy game. One interesting thing I found playing it was how the world responds to it, and part of the strategy is to sow doubts in people so that they enable it to spread. And during this real life pandemic, it sounds all too familiar here at home. This really is real world stuff!

No athlete or anyone else should ever have to go through that crap. It's a team effort, but people always want to look for a scapegoat, but to be blatantly racist about it is just another level of hate. Those same people would praise and cheer if he made the goals, but attack his skin color when he doesn't. These things aren't gonna change and will only continue to get worse because jerks at the top like Boris Johnson condones that behavior. People simply need to be punished for being racist. I say start fining them for racist attacks. Once they get punished at the pockets, then they will start to listen. We get fined for things for far less than racism. We can't depend on people to just change their rhetoric. We can't depend on those at the top to change their rhetoric. We have laws against hate crimes; it's time to treat racist rhetoric as a threat because it ultimately is. This shit is gonna leave psychological scars on those young athletes. Racists can't be allowed to abuse people in that way. It IS abuse.

I love horror games and I've found you need both if the game has an indoor and outdoor setting. In Evil Within 2 there is a 1st and 3rd person option. When I'm indoors I like to use the 1st person because it lets me see everything up close and is more intense. It also doesn't have the character's body blocking every bloody view. But when I go outside there is no way I want to be stuck in 1st person so I use 3rd. That way I can see if I'm hidden and just works for me better. Plus, if there is action outdoors, it's hectic trying to get a good shot when I am attacked in first person mode. I can't see what is going on. But indoors it's just different and 1st person works. The Last of Us of course bends so many exceptions if you want to categorize it as horror, which it is and isn't. Layers of Fear-1st person all the way no doubt.

I was thinking more of windmills cause cancer, but you nailed the realism better! Faux news on weather: must watch
