I don't understand this comment. Can you break it down for me?

Mostly false. See PM so we can stay on topic here.

I (used to) live in a completely ethnic American part of America, until it was flooded with American Africans in 2013, and they antagonize each other with malintent. It's not meant to be ironic, they're trying to convince the other African that they're serious as well as everyone around them. And it does frequently come to a head, hence ridiculous amounts of "black on black" crime. Ethnic Americans in my area will screw with each other and it never escalates, because it's as you describe. Two different ethnicities, two different sets of behavior. There's no reason evolution caused the brain to evolve identically all over the world, no matter how much the American propaganda machine tries to gaslight the world.

They have less incentive than any other demographic to care about an apocalyptic event. Yet, Science™ is used to push political agendas whilst citing Science™ as "the very smart" reason they're acting like despots. They're usually also nihilists who say everything will come to an end no matter how hard one tries, while they smell their own farts. On that note, I'm not even sure what atheists' incentive to live is, but I digress. Anyways, atheists are always using words like "intelligent" "Science™" "IQ" "brain", and everything goes back to intelligence being sooooo valuable. Well, need they be reminded that the Earth is said to have been just a ball of lava with no life whatsoever, then it was a giant snowball and everything in between. There have been 5 or 6 mass extinctions, which means the Earth has killed off most of its lifeforms several times in the past. Do people actually believe that people can disobey forces that the Earth puts out? Maybe the Earth wanted silicon and plastic in garbage dumps everywhere so silicon based lifeforms can finally happen on Earth in 10s of millions of years. EARTH DOES NOT NEED HUMANS TO SURVIVE. The Earth will be fine and live on in all circumstances. Hell, even if we blew up the Earth with nukes, LIFE WILL FIND A WAY. Also, I have only heard one other person besides me make the case that if climate change right now isn't part of some cycle the Earth has been on for a long time, then China and India need to be stopped form polluting the Earth BEFORE the USA stops. We probably have crossed a point of no return anyways (so we should stop taxing everyone to try and stop climate change), but if you wish to shutdown industry, then you must start with China and India, and when one thinks about this process it becomes apparent that there's a high incentive for these two countries, especially china, to lobby to cripple US industry. I want to be clear though, that China is NOT a threat to the US, unless the US does really, really stupid things; basically the US would have to self destruct itself for China to EVER overcome the US in anything, but that's another topic. ---TANGENT BEGIN--- While I'm on this topic, I thought I'd throw in some related, but non-climate change comments that might internet people here. The manufacturing from China is being relocated to Mexico now. And what doesn't fit inside the very limited geographic area of Mexico will be forced into the American southwest, and as per the effective implementation of open borders by DJT, mexicans will pouring into the US to work at these factories, since the boomer generation is addicted to cheap gains - they will never use more expensive labor, even if it's more skilled. The relocation of this manufacturing is why the liberal politicians, in both parties, are making up ominous, fear mongering conspiracies about Russia implanting a mysterious program into a company (whose name I will not repeat here because this is fake news, and they're simply lying about it) that is disrupting supply chains in a "supply chain attack". The reason they picked this topic to lie about is because with the US pulling out its resources, like the military, war becomes something any empire must participate in to secure trade routes. In particular the chinese are hated by everyone, and no one is going to let them trade freely by sea. Most of the world's international supply chain steps are in the ocean by china. The main losers of all this are in silicon valley because they bet the farm on manufacturing in china, and while they bet the farm, they'll still recover because they hold all the keys and guard all the doors, so they'll slowly and derpingly relocate to mexico when finally forced. for now though, they're pursuing covert machinations of globalization via china through the socialist/communist democratic party. ---TANGENT END--- Atheists have less incentive than any other demographic to care about an apocalyptic event. Why do they reeeeee the hardest?

interesting take. did you see some shows or movies that had something like this happen in order for it to be bland for you? I don't watch a lot of movies or shows anymore, so it was fresh for me. Pretty much everything the game has done storywise has kept my attention on some level. The only parts I didn't really like (because we've already been forced to see and hear so much of it) were the black culture stuff; the characters antagonize each other back and forth, and it's a pretty accurate portrayal of how it happens IRL, except they haven't started attacking each other in a cutscene yet. Had I not witnessed this behavior IRL I would think this was just bad writing, but no, the reality is just like that with the taunting back and forth in normal conversation; indistinguishable from adversarial conversation.

I'm glad to hear gta iv is good. I had my doubts for a long time since I never heard anyone mention it. Not even once. Until I asked "wait gta 5 is out? What happened with gta 4?" this is 2015 i think... Looks like I'll be playing gta iv then as well

I thought I made a post about this before, but I don't see it in my history, and I can't find it in this forum where I thought I posted it. Every character is notable, and not to spoil too much but when you think you've got them all figured out, you don't. I would say GTA has always had great writing (haven't played VC, London, IV or GTA Online though (I'm sure they're good though)), and this game doesn't disappoint. I don't really want to say much more because everything is worth discovering on your own. It's $11 on one of the store fronts right meow.

The correct answer is no. Not even the recently fabricated, loaded term being "anonymously" injected into american liberal social media websites (all major social media sites) fits this description. I'm sure it will be redefined and then ret-conned into the history books as "always having been that way", as per contemporary american mythology. Almost nothing is terrorism at all. The pussification of america has predisposed people to acting like cry babies and swearing at each other and trying to get the government to attack anyone who hurts their feefees (by calling them terrorists). Even the Burn Loot Murder riots weren't terrorism, and they were burning down businesses and houses and looting everything and murdering people - not terrorism. What they were doing was really messed up, and the media tried taking the events (that are actually caused by deglobalism and not someone dying while being arrested by ambiguous causes), and wrapping their own narrative around it (makes me wonder how this obvious nonsense will be written about in the history books because it's not even close to what's being talked about in the media, especially the state sponsored media outlets like CNN and Fox). I saw close friends who never, ever EVER used the term terrorism to describe anything but actual terrorism, then as soon as the erroneously interpreted people using it to act political dissidents they tried using it to say any violent act is terrorism. They've even tried saying 2 people getting into a fist fight is terrorism - this is full blown mass-stupidity happening now in america. I never in my life so much as imagined this as a state that an entire population could be in - not even a fantasy setting or anything like that - I truly did not even think up the thought in any capacity; yet here we are living it. I think a lot of this has to do with closing of mental institutions. When I was a child when someone was clearly acting like a lunatic, they'd *always* be taken into custody for mental evaluation and put somewhere with caretakers so they weren't freaking out the general population. It was rare, but it happened, and when it did, it was taken care of. Now, police show up and have the sane person concede something to the mentally ill person or go to jail; inverted reality. And why are the police responding to social issues anyways? But I digress, almost no acts of violence are terrorism, and definitely not "acts with a political motivation reeeeee" (this is definition made up and circulated by the radical left in america, and then injected into europe, mostly the EU countries, and it's opening the door for causing actual terrorism to be ignored). idk what that's about, but I'm not clicking a video that leads to youtube that is realated to politics. that social media website is clearly rampantly censoring content, especially political videos, and therefore i will not be viewing it. And i sure as hell am not watching something with djt in the thumbnail. I feel like everyone is taking a contrived polarized stance on politics nowadays, when most people shouldn't even be thinking about it. They should focus on their families - there is no need for everyone's input in a political discussion.

Right, and the heat content from smoking is what the cancer has been traced back to. If you can remove the heat content from the smoke it drastically reduces the risk of cancer. The point is absolutely no one is going to get cancer from eating normal or heavy amounts of red meat or pork, and in the unlikely event that this does happen, it could never be verified (well with Science™ I'm sure we'll see cases popping up everywhere with a dogmatic conviction that it's happening and it's ~~oh so real~~), and even if it could it's likely the case that the person has a predisposition to that sort of thing happening. Avoiding red meat or pork in this case is like taking precautions that you could get hit by a meteorite when you walk out your front door or while you're sitting in your house. I also see that there are website online saying to drastically reduce one's meat intake to nonsense levels, like eating a pound (~0.5 KG) of these meats per week. Now, I don't know the affiliation of these sites to the official sources, so they could be randoms pushing their own ideals, but this ridiculous "recommended" reduction in meat consumption tells me that there's an agenda behind it. And I'm sure many of us know that there are people who use the internet thinking that whatever turns up in the search results must, not only be true, but it's a dogmatic Scientific™ Fact™. I'm really starting to hate America... ?

Well, something has to be done about a president evidently getting fraudulently elected (after having seen lists of videos bigger than I can even watch proving countless occurrences of voter fraud I am not interested in any responses contesting this, and any responses to this effect will be ignored). I was completely apolitical before December 2015, and when I started seeing the Project Veritas videos where they showed the democratic campaigners casually talking about how they've been committing voter fraud for 50+ years (they might have said 70, I forget exactly), and having seen the documentary Obama 2016, and after having followed google and other tech companies closer than any other person I've ever met (including the Google employees I've met and chatted with at length) I really began to question what the hell had been going on in USA since 2008 and, really, since 1945 when America's road to communism began when they stopped the Third Reich from defeating those Bolshevik Communists in the East!! That was western civilization's turning point! Why did America interrupt the Third Reich from defeating Soviet Russia! Why did Truman stop McArthur from nuking the Communists in NK? But I digress. Back on point, big tech is what is driving all of this. Something needs to be done on that front, and this nonsense that all violence is terrorism is killing any sort of corrective action that needs to be taken. There is no such thing as domestic terrorism. Are vigilantes terrorists? Are bounty hunters terrorists? Are serial killers terrorists? Are mass murderers terrorists? Are police terrorists? Are military personnel terrorists? Are countries that declare war on other countries terrorists? The answer in all cases is no; it's very difficult for something to classified as terrorism, not easy; this rhetoric in USA is inflammatory language marketed to the masses in order to validate radical action on behalf of the paramilitary of the democratic party; Antifa (who are not anti-fascist and let's not even touch the pejorative nature of the word "fascist") and Burn Loot Murder. War is a natural process for humans, and we need to accept that as part of the human condition. It doesn't matter how many fantasy books you've read or movies you've watched, transhumanism isn't real - it hasn't happened, and these battles still warrant tried and true solutions, whether it be war or not. The USA is a failed state if the obvious and sloppy fraud campaign is allowed to stand - it doesn't matter if there is a war over it or not - this fraud still happened, and it calls into question all elections everywhere in USA, big or small. Personally, I have moved on from the notion that America is a democracy, and I didn't really have a strong conviction that is was beforehand either because of how inaccessible political positions were to average people; that's a dead giveaway. Anyways, I'm just kind of getting some thoughts out with this post. Feel free to respond in any way you want about whichever topic you want.

I was in university when carcinogens were said to be contained in pork and red meat. The idea is that carcinogens cause cancer. The main thing I have to say about this is: the idea is far and away overblown, and there are two main reasons for this. The first reason the idea got overblown, for what it actually is, is because the fields of study for this sort of thing rarely have any groundbreaking research, so when they get something they really try to hype it up. I believe the relevant fields here were biology and the medical field. Having been on a campus where intellectual property theft is rampant and everyone thinks they're going to be a famous scientist and "win all the marbles" for something this is definitely something they'd do, and they were trying to cause as much fear in the student population as possible. The second reason is because of synergy from people who have radical views on what foods should be consumed, like vegans. Vegans are almost always far left liberals, and as can plainly be seen in Europe and other European countries, like America, Canada, New Zealand, Australia and South Africa, anyone part of a far left constituency has clout in the media, and so these sort of things get overblown. What about the assertions from the research overblown, you may ask? The amount of carcinogens in these meats is so low that one would have to eat several pounds of meat **in a single sitting** to begin to have a minuscule chance of getting cancer. There are people all over the world who eat a lot of meat as a large part of their diet, especially in European countries like America, and not until this research showed up did anyone even suspect they could get cancer from it? That common knowledge should be enough to convince anyone that this research is negligible. I, for one, have year streaks where I eat 1 to 2+ lbs of beef steak nearly every single day of the year (my freezer is packed with beef). I have regularly gone to all you can eat buffets and eaten about 2.5 lbs of beef steak each meal. My dad has done the same thing, and the only difference between he and I is that I've maintained a normal weight and a muscular build, while he is fine with being obese (hey, at least he doesn't make excuses for why he's obese). Anyways, most of my family is like this, and no one has had cancer in my family, ever. And certainly not bowel cancer, and, again, one would have to eat a significant amount of meat to have so much as a minuscule chance of increasing the likelihood of getting cancer. No one should do anything whatsoever to "avoid" the carcinogens in pork and red meat. Your chances of getting cancer are so low that I don't think there is a single confirmed case. However, nowadays, the science fields are more of Science™ fields than anything else, and information coming from authoritative sources should be heavily questioned, especially when political influence occurs related to it. Or if there's a financial incentive for someone who's already rich and powerful; this almost always guarantees that any radical notion is worth ignoring, as there'd probably be a gradual build up instead.

The holiday vids should make more references to whichever holiday the video is for. Not doing this is missing an easy opportunity to set a mood for the video. I realized that the holiday videos don't seem like holiday videos because I lose track of the idea that the game exploration video is for that holiday. I don't like a lot of things about cable TV, but one thing they did right is create a theme for holidays, like halloween, and you *knew* it was time to get in the halloween/christmas spirit. Commercial breaks would have a quick shot of some lit up carved jackolanterns and spider webs or something. These are the "things you see all the time" for halloween, but it does the trick!! I don't want to say *how* to implement these things (unless ross is really interested to hear about it, but I think he watched the same television i did as a kid) or which things to implement; all I'm trying to get at is making the idea of the holiday more present in the viewers' minds; i really feel like all these holiday vids lost potential without having done this. I have some example ideas, however these are just some quick ideas and it can be done however: - for halloween videos do a segue to pumpkins and show carved pumpkins or something - tell a relevant story or anecdote about something that happened on that holiday. - play some generic christmas music. jingle bells is always a winner (even if you're tired of "the same songs" ross. I WANT TO HEAR JINGLE BELLS ALL. THE. TIME.) - talk about festive activities related to whichever holiday and go on the quick tangent to titillate our thoughts - sleigh bells for christmas - lets see some green ooze for halloween. everyone likes green ooze, ross 8-| I think you get the idea.

I didn't see it before. I don't cruise these forums often, and when I saw this I thought I should post it here before I lost it.

https://ameliorated.info/ Gives info on this project. The following link is a version you can just download, as I think the official website tries making people sign up for Telegram (the British pseudo-secure "encrypted" messaging app). https://archive.org/details/windows-10-ameliorated-1903 There is an option to torrent the file for anyone without patience or a fast internet connection. I'm also hearing that there's a "Windows LTSC N". I don't know what it is, but people are saying it's the same thing as above, except it's made by an official source. Saw a useful comment about this project on a forum: More info https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwkiU6GG-YU

I was watching the Battle Forge episode where Ross goes into talking about how the Need for Speed games also have tinting for no reason. Well, in the Human Revolution video Ross mentioned that it's not merely a tint over the whole screen, they seem to have also added other layers of yellow tinting to the game; such as a tint to the game's asset itself. My theory on why they do this is so that no one can easily rip out the assets, and repurpose them. There'd be extra work needed to get it to work, and whoever did it could get caught, and open up a free money supply, on legal grounds, for the company who made the tinted game assets. I think it might be this simple. I anticipate someone will ask why they'd bother adding a yellow fog or tint to the level if it doesn't show up when the assets would be ripped from the game and reused, and the answer is simply obfuscation. As can be seen in the Human Revolution video, Ross is even confused as to what they did, and the mods couldn't even properly correct it. Some of these obfuscation techniques aren't good at all, but given the internal politics of software development and corporatism, it was probably done for the managers who think if they're confused, so is everyone else. It doesn't have to make perfect sense, in fact, it probably never would; especially in today's corporate world. Thought?

Let's talk about the mentally ill having a megaphone to say their nonsense online. How do we deal with this? I for one, wish to have a way to ignore the mentally ill without having to first read and hear their words/thoughts on every single website that they have an account. I'm also a proponent of freedom of speech, and I think any sort of blanket banning tool would too easily be misused by any power hungry employee. Maybe we should simply have these people locked up, and limit their computer use? Feel free to give your organic response agnostic of what I've said here and then respond to my ideas, as I'd like to hear peoples' thoughts on this, rather than merely a response to what I've said. I'd like this topic to be left as open as possible with the main premise being "the mentally ill and internet usage".

Everybody calm down. What I'm saying is already how mentally ill are treated and have been for my entire life. Except now it seems like these people are not kept in institutions, whereas when I was younger, that's where they were kept. And I doubt they can use computers with internet in there. There is nothing wrong with attending to the mentally ill, and RaTcHeT302 already went on to talk about the way in which they're already handled. I don't understand the outrage, and I will continue on the course of inquiring to people how the mentally ill should be dealt with when it comes to the internet. It's already been suggested by big tech companies' executives that truly insane people should be looked at when it comes to things like allowing them to use twitter, to give their specific example. I'm only mentioning this because I'd like for respondents to avoid unwelcome personal attacks, and I'm presuming that if an authoritative figure has said something like this then that gives the folks who love their authoritative sources an excuse to jump on board. So if you'll join me, let's discuss the handling of the mentally ill online. What effect does a mentally ill woman or man have when talking in an online forum or on social media? What effect does 100 or 1000 mentally ill people have in comparison to just one? In general, how does one spot a mentally ill woman or man? (already assumed the response that I'm one myself. Please move on to a general answer).

There is a difference between coordinated violence and savagery. Not all violence is wrong, for example, there are wars that have been fought for very good reasons, there are vigilantes on the side of the law or even like Robin Hood, or bounty hunters, or what have you. If just the thought of that is scaring you to the point where you are petrified, maybe go take a martial arts or self defense class, and get some violence in you. If you can't even use a bit of violence to defend yourself, I don't know what to say; that's kind of the bare minimum one should go with violence. I'm not a fighter or a violent person, but I'm not frightened to the extent that you appear to be. I think I could use some battle/combat conditioning even to get myself where I need to be. I've yet to dive into the forums here. I see some topics I want to read, but I haven't spent the time to read them yet, so I wouldn't know what people are saying. I mean, you sound like you're from the UK. You guys have full blown internet censorship already there. Are you aware of that? If not, it could be triggering a thought in your mind where you are realizing something is in play that you assumed wouldn't be; censorship. People in USA get paranoid and nervous when someone brings up a topic that they intentionally or unintentionally are unaware of, especially if it affects their life in a big way. Hey, more power to you. I've largely decreased my internet use the past few years. The internet isn't as good and serendipitous as it used to be. Like you mentioned in your other thread about checking the news, well everyone nowadays thinks they have to get online to be "up to date" (and people will use those exact words), and they get bummed out, like you were saying. There's nothing wrong with taking large amounts of time away from the computer. This does sound quite a bit like an over reaction. I've never quite read something like this before. Perhaps it is paranoia about something you're realizing about your surroundings. I'd be interested in hearing about it, if so. I have done a lot of research about the history of the British Empire, and it sounds like it's fallen quite a ways. So if you have any comments on daily life there (since you don't check the "news"), I'd have a listen.

I might not be seeing the option because I'm on mobile. Is this a thing on accursed farms?

Oh boyyyy. Given your response in that first paragraph combined with this response You sound like the mentally I'll being talked about. Reading on... >you personally have a distaste for mentally ill people wow at this statement. reading on... Just read this gem of a clause you wrote > you're not giving this discussion much of a choice but to revolve around you This is exactly what I planned to do with you (resolve around you) after reading that first paragraph. but you said it first AMIRITE? reddit tactics will not be entertained. i'm taking it you use reddit a lot? I'm not even going to address the specifics of your lack of so much attempting to solve the problems I presented. Your solution is to get upset, hope people throw you a pity party and attack me because you are "virtue" signaling in a politically correct way; Reddit behavior. That website should be fined until it's out of business. Do you have a mental illness? Do people often react to you in a way that let's you know you're not like everyone else, you know what I mean? Have you had a doctor diagnose you with a mental illness? Have you been referred to a doctor for mental assessment? Are you on any medications that alter your mental state? Please share details (I'm querying the forums on how to block you on this site, since I'm not interested in your thoughts/opinions on the original post, so you have until someone let's me know how to respond).

https://www.gog.com/game/serious_sam_4 There are some overly negative reviews of this game that come across as something other than someone with legitimate complaint. I don't think this is a "troll" either where someone is attempting to get a rise out of people with very little or no back blow to them (which is what trolling means, and trolling as it is properly defined has not been a thing on the internet since about 2009 or 2010, at very latest; unless you go on a forum and tell people the Earth is flat - that is pretty funny and can give you a sense of what trolling really used to look like). The post topic: Let's talk about the mentally ill having a megaphone to say their nonsense online. How do we deal with this?

Jeff Dunham, the ventriloquist guy, had a behind-the-scenes video where he was showing how he made his puppets, and in one of the videos he demonstrates this device that scans 3d objects; he used it to scan his hand to make the hand for his puppet(s)
