mgs2 is one of the most overrated games of all time

it's cool if you liked it when you were a teen because of all the pseudo intellectual babble that was in it, but now that we're all adults here it's time to admit the story was trash and that kojima is a massive hack

I mean, it's clear that Kojima's intention was to write a story he couldn't possible write a sequel to. Its canon is a dang mess, and it's more or less impossible to determine what actually happened at pretty much any point in the game.

This is why the next game was a prequel and why 4 is such a mess. Kojima had to undo his own sabotage.

Every single MGS game was meant to be the final entry in the series.

Porn is the biggest most disgusting epidemic of this generation.
It's ruining relationships for everyone, It's amazing how we've deluded ourselves into thinking that there's anything normal or natural about it. I wasn't even addicted to it, to the degree some people are, I just jacked to it every once or twice a week, but boy, does it mess your brain up. It's subconscious but you just look at women differently. You sexualize things that have nothing to do with sex.
I feel a hundred times healthier after telling my SO about it and ditching it.
We both have a high libido and we've been long distance for almost 3 years of our 4 years, so there's really no excuse to go for porn.
It's so nice to actually fantasize about her and think about how intimate I want to be with her, instead of looking at some other woman who is getting paid to pretend she's enjoying herself, while getting jackhammered by some dude she's never had a real conversation with. Once you distance yourself from it, and get a real perspective about it, you just see how repulsive the whole thing is.

Despite dedicating a tremendous amount of time to the arts, he also finds time in his schedule to not only read multiple Wikipedia articles, but also work on books about Germany & Ohio, visit the heritage centre, study marine biology (mainly goldfish), etc. However, despite Sunhawk's disciplined training in the arts, he is still able to connect with the common man on CE; Sunhawk possesses a bounty of knowledge on video games, pornography, the charging capabilities of cell phones, etc. All of this makes Sunhawk an intellectual powerhouse that deserves to be respected deeply and treasured.

It's pretty clear that humans are not like other animals. Our social structures and emotions are so much more complex than those of any other animal that the comparison to chimps and dogs is simply ludicrous and has no place in this discussion. We discuss humanity as it is. Not in relation to species that don't have notions of culture and identity.

Disingenuous, don't fool yourself, we are the slightly superior cousins of chimpanzees and we are bound by our biological nature. There is nothing special about us.

in the beauty of exclusivity that wedlock provides

I am telling you that exclusivity and strict monogamy is like telling someone they can eat one meal for the rest of their life, or telling them they can only enjoy one album forever. I do not see any objective reasoning behind it. If someone told you you could only eat rice for every meal of your life you would ask why.

The only possible reason I see is to provide a stable upbringing for children, but if we evolved to benefit more from small societies where entire tribes would fuck and raise children together, it would be advantageous to hold that as an ideal over the nuclear family.

I'm not refering to osteoarthritis specifically, just general wear & tear since the Cartilege will go down over time and use as you age. The harder you push it along with more frequent use of it, the quicker your cartilege will wear down.

Inactivity was once thought to prevent arthritis and protect fragile, arthritic joints from further damage. More recent research has demonstrated the opposite. In the absence of use, joints lose flexibility; without stress, the matrix of articular cartilage is gradually modified and weakened. Furthermore, numerous studies have clearly demonstrated that moderate exercise improves the symptoms of arthritis without causing further joint damage.

Joints are, in fact, strengthened and modified by exercise. These adaptations explain the utility of physical activity in the treatment of arthritis, and the ability of joints to endure years of running without permanent damage. Ligaments and muscles, which support joints, are strengthened and reinforced by the stresses of athletic activity, improving joint mechanics. The flexibility of muscles, encouraged by exercise, can also aid the mechanical function of joints.

Articular cartilage actually has its own feedback mechanism to respond to exercise. Chondrocytes, the living cells that make up just 1% of cartilage, sense the loading of articular cartilage and regulate the production of matrix components to repair and remodel the tissue in response to stress.

So, can running hasten the onset of arthritis? Certainly, in particular circumstances. Abnormal joint stress increases the risk of arthritis and can be caused by running on an injured joint, poor biomechanics, or muscle weakness due to inadequate cross-training.

Does running, however, inevitably cause arthritis? No. Many people run and compete for an entire lifetime without being hindered by arthritis. Aging by itself causes gradual deterioration of articular cartilage, either due to decades of use or because of changes in the cartilage matrix. By the age of 65, over 75% of people show at least minor evidence of osteoarthritis.

Can running help prevent or treat arthritis? Yes, the adaptations of joints to running can help prevent or treat the degeneration associated with inactivity.

The salubrious benefits of exercise are major incentives for many runners, so the thought of incurring permanent damage to a joint is particularly demoralizing. Running is a high impact activity that strains joints to the very limit of their resilience and capabilities. But joints have a wonderfully sophisticated structure that resists damage and adapts to stress. Potential injuries abound, and osteoarthritis is extremely prevalent in both athletes and non-athletes, but permanent joint damage is not an inevitable consequence of running
