Gamora and Nebula were still on Thanos's ship when he time-skipped with the stolen / reverse-engineered Pym particles.

I agree with everything you said. Hope the deaths / losses are permanent - I at least think that Nat and Loki will stay gone.

Is that the one that just came out? I couldn't remember the name. Fire and Fury is meant to be very good (read: hilarious).

It came out 2 weeks ago. Unsurprisingly there have been many memoirs by Trump's associates and advisors since 2016, but if you want to read one, Bolton's is probably the most logical choice.

Mostly, to learn and be entertained.

What is the book you recommended about?

It's a memoir by John Bolton, who was Trump's security advisor for some time. There was quite a stink leading up to its release because the government claimed that Bolton divulged sensitive information, but it was published regardless.

Depends on your goal I guess. "The Room Where It Happened" recently came out and probably isn't a bad idea to pick up.

I dont care what weebs say, the dub of GX is great. They're self aware that it's just a fucking card game and I love it

Was about to say that. It's so meta and doesn't take itself too seriously (most of the time).

Too bad the final season wasn't dubbed - I haven't seen it but I imagine the feel is a bit different.

Lol. I like them, especially First Class and DoFP and Logan, but the continuity really isn't a strong point.

They really didn't do anything with that. It's like they completely forgot it happened.

Unless Raven intentionally let them experiment on Logan, but they never really seemed to have an adversarial relationship like that.

... Raven being the one that finds Logan at the end of DoFP instead of Stryker? Clearly in Apocalypse he went through the Weapon X program as before, so why bother including that twist ending?

Chances are that they feel the same about you. I've had a few close friends that I've always thought were simply more interesting / funnier / more successful versions of me. As chance would have it, I'd hear all of them say the exact same thing about me. Everyone wishes they were someone else. You are your own worst critic. Own what makes you unique!

I wear a mask my entire shift at work. The only time we're allowed to remove them is on break, and then only in the back or outside, never on the sales floor.
I'm not going to say wearing a mask is fun, but ya'll are making it out to be harder than it is.

I agree with this. It takes time to get used to it, but it's well worth it when you consider the consequences.

This

TC's post is dumb, the mechanics are all still there. You're choosing not to play.

The point I thought you were going to make which I would have agreed with, are people who go "Well that's not how the game designers wanted you to play! Therefore it's wrong!" like Dark Souls fans scream.

The game designers may or may not have wanted you to not have subtitles, volume control or FOV sliders.

The OPTION is still a pivitol thing for the player to have. It's dumb to complain that a game has options you're not willing to use.

I think we can all agree that the hardcore Souls fans are the fucking worst. I say that as a big fan of the series.

I dont think this is gonna fly even for the most hard-core liberals. If we are still wearing masks past June 2021 that's ridiculous.

That entirely depends on the state of Covid-19 in June 2021. If there is no vaccine and we end up experiencing multiple waves throughout the year, then I'm sure masks will stick around.

Sort of off-topic but I'm sincerely hoping that face masks while sick will become the norm even if Covid-19 is eradicated.

What do you mean by relapse? You mean just giving up what I've been doing and eating a bunch of junk food and like 3k calories a day? I mean I don't really think that will happen if that's the case...

Yes. Do what you want, but no one has as much willpower as they think. Not to mention that you'll probably be passing out from exhaustion if you're only eating 600-1000 calories each day.

I thought the whole point was to have my BMR to burn my fat for me as energy if I don't got enough?

Your BMR is the amount of calories that you would need on a totally sedentary day to survive. It's based on your age, sex, height, and weight. Your TDEE is how many calories you actually burn in a day because hardly anyone stays still all day.

Yes, you want to consume less calories than you burn in order to lose weight. But if you go too far under then you don't give your body time to adapt and you will relapse, hard.

So I'll burn my fat (and belly fat) by just eating like 600-1000 calories (usually 700) a day just fine right?

Sexypwnstar posted...

I'm planning on doing it along with intermittent fasting to hit my goal then I'm just going to do my basal metabolic rate to maintain it (which should be higher)

Definitely don't recommend this strategy. Trust me when I say that if you're used to eating 2000ish calories per day, then cutting that by 50% or more will not do you any favours. Your BMR is likely far above that, so you'll be putting your body in a lot of danger. This is how eating disorders develop. Plus, suddenly going into such a severe caloric deficit will pretty much set you up for a relapse.

The general rule of thumb for weight loss is to eat 80% of your total daily energy expenditure (TDEE - higher than your BMR because it factors in activity level as well).

Weight loss and fitness should be treated as a long-term behaviour change. No point going for it at all if you can't sustain it for months and months. Make gradual changes over a long period to give yourself time to adjust to your new lifestyle.

Everyone thinks they'll have the willpower to change their diet cold turkey. No one does.

The WoW board is so funny. People actually think that WoD is better than BfA. They're not even on the same playing field - BfA has a lot of shitty features but WoD was a tech demo and also cost more than previous expansions.

Wrath of the Lich King was peak WoW, in my opinion.

Wrath itself was great but it planted the seeds for a lot of problematic features that we have today. Endgame Wrath was the beginning of the decline.

Coloradough posted...

I never got why they increase the level cap every expansion, rendering the old stuff pointless and a ghost town

Why not make your game bigger? They just move it forward to the new thing and trash the old

Final Fantasy 14 does something similar in order to keep old content relevant and many players hate it. You end up needing to do quests in older raids and finding groups for them is annoying as fuck.

It should have ended with the character that we've followed through the whole series, AKA Rick. Them solving the Negan problem and making some kind of civilization in Alexandria, Hilltop, etc. is the best resolution we could have hoped for. The zombie apocalypse won't be solved in any reasonable timespan, so ending it based on emotional investment with characters is the only way that makes sense.

But obviously they've elected to go a different route.

It's also funny that people pretend that in the work force, the nerds will be the bosses and the jocks will make chump change. Athletic kids are usually far more successful in the real world as adults too

And it makes sense. Not only are attractive people (i.e. people in good shape) much more likely to be hired and promoted, but being fit means that you have discipline, which is something that successful people need.

Everyone should wear masks, especially when they're inside or somewhere that social distancing is unreliable, but it's not nothing, either. It takes time to get used to. I can't imagine how someone with claustrophobia would feel with a thicker mask that many companies are providing.

i like dialog and scenes too. they drive the story and a good story is like half of why i liked JRPGs. but dialog and cutscenes should be woven into the gameplay and used to drive it forward, not be a substitute for it.

I can agree to that. There is definitely a more elegant way of delivering the story, especially when every tiny aspect of the original story has been expanded upon so much.

---

It's not a perfect game but I think it's fun. I love the ridiculous "this is a JRPG" moments like the squat contests and the crossdressing. There are a lot of cutscenes and dialogue, but that's what I want from FF.

As others have said, I wouldn't do what most would consider a traditional job. I'd explore all the hobbies that I never had the time or money to try. Hobbies can be a lot of work, but I guess they wouldn't be considered a job. I'd also be sure to finish my education first so that I'd have the proper credentials to research what I want when I wanted.

Restaurant staff in my area are also dressing like that and we haven't had a new case in over 2 weeks. It's likely that many professions will simply adopt this PPE as their new normal for the foreseeable future.
