He’s waiting his turn to have fun with the flesh piñata, how cute!

Be the change you want to see:) Really, though, it’ll take all of us calling these out.

I recommend the new Indiana Jones. Mostly bludgeoning fascists. Very cathartic.

Oh. My. God… Becky, look at her [bass]…

Honestly, though, this is super cool. Original bass heads, for sure.

Link to a demonstration.

Cambodia. Genuinely the nicest, and most helpful, people I have ever encountered all throughout the country. I was told about their general friendliness before, but was blown away by actually seeing it firsthand.

Aaaand I’m hooked. Love the whole catalog lol definitely a mood. Big fan of the hair and rotoscoped LoTR movies vibe lol

Damn. This is brutally relatable.

Absolutely true. I wasn’t even thinking about voting systems with my comments but definitely a significant barrier.

That’s why I’m saying we’re way too far gone for that lol I agree. It’s predicated on democratic systems working and those have been broken for a while.

Edit: We’ve been fucked since Marbury v. Madison and the electoral college, but the idea of a less dogmatic approach to the constitution from the get go has its upsides. Way too late for that and I’m thinking in terms of future societies building off of what might have been done better.

Yeah… we’ve been well past the point of constitutional crises that never get addressed or even an eye batted toward them for decades lol.

Press freedom has been fucked for so long.

One of the few things I agree with Thomas Jefferson concerning the actual functioning of the US government is that the Constitution should be revisited and updated more often. It would definitely encourage greater awareness of the document and keep many from both (1) having it used as a dogmatic/pseudoreligious excuse to fit into whatever narrative the oligarchs hope to push and (2) failing to enshrine fundamental liberties in a national codex.

As it is, we’re way too far gone for that shit and I think a complete restructuring is in order, which I don’t think will happen in our current union. Gonna take some major change and pain to get there.

IP/Copyright law is a fucking joke and a scam.

On an unrelated note, I genuinely loved the new Indiana Jones game… It was amazing.

Lol I loved that. And I’ve seen mods for MCC that let you do multiplayer somehow but never got it working myself lol

How do you play 3 player campaign on one PC? Doesn’t the MCC prevent that? Or did they patch it out?

For the most part, yes. For the parts that are a no, they are going to be really unhealthy and chaotic relationships. It definitely depends on the person, but this can be a very challenging social dynamic. It sounds pretty chaotic and I am not sure how many people would be able to deal with that day by day.

To your last point, emotional communication is always tough and it’s really hard to piece things together to get your thoughts across when tensions are high. I think that coming from a mindset of refining and explaining, to yourself first and then to others, why you feel a certain way or did a certain action could be a good start.

Additionally, a lot of people do not respond well to “tough love”. I would argue that for the majority of scenarios, it’s one of the least successful ways to go about showing support and care for someone else. Setting clear and respectful boundaries is one thing, but providing only conditional support is a great way to tank a relationship and have someone distrust you. I think it’s also helpful to unpack why you feel you need to act that way with people you care about. For me, that took a lot of work (still does) and goes back to my relationship with my dad (which has its positives and negatives, a lot of which we’ve worked through over the years).

One of the most important ideas I’ve come across with communication is that you should ask yourself if your actions are helping you meet your goals in the conversation. If you really want to build a strong, trusting, relationship with someone, that’s going to look wildly different to the actions you would take if you really want to distance yourself from someone. And if you mess up with how you presented yourself or how you meant to come across, address it as soon as you possibly can. Clear communication is key and being clear with yourself and your goals/wants/needs/preferences is the start of that.

Hope that helps lol good luck out there. There’s a lot of happiness to bring to the world if you work toward it.

You’ve got to tick the other games you want in the dlc page after going to the game’s properties in steam.

You can do that now to add the ones you want to play. For some reason if you just click download without selecting any other dlc, it just installs Reach.

At a certain point, we’re back to philosophy. Do you really want to build in a back door in the first place? What is the trade off between privacy and security and potential use by any enforcement agency in apprehending who they consider to be bad actors? How much of the resources of those agencies are actually allocated to taking down real threats to actual people vs protecting moneyed interest?

Everyone in this thread:

Reminds me of the Futurama Nixon Dubbing a bit.

So… Do this with Halo 3 and Reach and this was basically my college unwinding experience. So many teams battles lol
