Is it possible I overproofed it? I didn't think that would happen in 24 hours at room temperature but it did seem to start going down.


That was my first thought, but honestly that really isn't too big a deal, maybe try 10 hours if not in a fridge, if in a fridge, I say no more than 2-5 hours

Did people not watch the speech? Putin even admitted that it's perfectly legal for Russia to hack the united states under an agreement that was made in the 90's if the Russian government suspected criminal activity within the U.S, vice versa for the U.S as well.

Putin also went on to state that they might already know who was involved in the hacks, department wise, and will investigate further.

Theres a lot more to the specifics, but that's the jist.

This and gamestop has a price checker too just for comparisons. Ebay will also have an option to see how many of the item you choose is sold in the last week's.

For example if you see the item your trying to sell going for 80, but you see people buying it at around 40, you may want to sell it at the 40 range.

I agree with you. Some of my older teachers have addressed concernes for how many large people they see today. They explain to me that people are becoming more degenerate and make up any excuse other than to blame themselves.

There are plenty of cases where it's completely acceptable. The excuse that is, plenty of health related concerns that may force you down a road. But in most cases I'm just witnessing lazy people. And do I see a LOT of fat people today.

Bernie is a shill for the big pharmas. He has a loud mouth, that's about it . just look at the donation money he takes and where it comes from, typically its Hollywood, or some unidentified corporate sponsor that is only merely lobbying, whatever the hell that means.

Wish somebody like trey gowdy would run for president. I don't know anything about his foreign outlooks, but he's the only honest senator I've seen minus maybe 1 or 2 others in congress.

He'd never make it and he stays away from the BIG trouble I've noticed, he likes to stir the pot, but the judiciary courts play oligarchy with him all day so he never ever makes any gains, I mean senators have been called out with supportive evidence in some of the committee meetings, and he always looks distressed. Knowing how much corruption he has to work with all day.

TC, my whole life I've been thinking the thoughts your having. But everyone has their own movie, play yours, and let other people play theirs.

That's a nice and friendly way to look at it, but it's also terribly naive. Everyone else's "movie" as you put it plays into everyone else's. This idea of personal development not being worth it, or not even being a good idea, is an extremely dangerous poison to society as a whole.

Plus, I absolutely refuse to let people actively disregard their personal flaws. I don't care how you personally need to do it, go to counseling, take medication, confront that blacked out memory you've buried your whole life, build a routine and have someone else hold you accountable to it, it doesn't matter. If you aren't in some way working towards being the best you you can be, then you're not worth mine or anyone else's time. When that becomes the norm, across the board, we're locked into a fast-track for a world that looks a hell of a lot like Idiocracy. Except in this particular case it's less full-blown stupidity and more everyone shuts down into their own personal bubble.


I've had plenty of discussions my whole life on this topic and many others, it will get you no where, if your not a professional, people don't care,this all stems from ego, if you dish some out, you'll get some back.

and ill wrap your ,"naive", comment, put that into a nice envelope. And send that back to you discreetly.

Now, I'm not saying that people should be ostracized for it. I personally have extreme issues with anxiety, although finally in my mid 20's I have them under control, more or less. I used to beat myself up over things like saying "you too" in interactions where that doesn't make sense, but I've gotten over it. Thing is, if I was 15 today and things continued to carry on as they are, I don't know if I'd still do the same.

I'm not entirely sure how to word what I mean without coming across as an ass, but I really feel like this is something that needs to be addressed. These things being normalized is a double-edged sword in that, yeah, it might make people more comfortable to talk about it, but it also makes it normal, in that having a panic attack because you said "you too" when your waiter said "enjoy your meal" is perfectly acceptable and in fact may be internally rewarded because it gives you a feeling of connection to your peers who do the same. It isn't acceptable, in that sense.

Even more than that, with it being a popular meme topic, people might actually try to exacerbate their anxiety instead of attempting to get to a healthier head-space, because society's best measuring stick of a person, especially in more youth-oriented spaces, is now is how meme-savvy you are.

My longest skyrim play through, beating everything was a little over a hundred hours, but I have well over 1000.

Fallout new Vegas was around 400, with all the DLC added

Oblivion was over 1000,

Witcher 3 was around 150 with all dlc

Fallout 4 maybe 200, but I got bored real quick.

Fallout 3 around 900 hours total

Lost count for how many hours I've spent in morrowind

These are just the big RPGs for me, I don't play too many JRPGs, and for the games above I did screw around a lot so that kills time, also I don't ever want to invest that amount time into another game anymore.

But I did just start playing XenoBlade Chronicles X and that already feels well over 200 hours and I'm enjoying the designs for the world more than pretty much every title above, which is something to me. Writing leaves a little more to be desired.

Also TC I think I have about 100 hours in the First MGS, beaten around ten times at this point, and it is a short game. MGSV was about 100, 150 for me.

Yep that was an awesome cameo/boss fight.

I think his gun was pretty good afterwards too.

Random fun fact: Remember the big twist with the villain? Bioware was gonna use that twist in their KOTOR 2 if they did that game instead.


I was gonna bring that up, but I wanted to keep my mouth shut on that twist, it was pretty good if you were invested in the story.

One of my favorite scenes from all star wars films. And a great scene in general.



Palpatine does a good job at making both the Jedi and sith look so miniscule, but at the same time. Is only using a great piece of wisdom to turn Anakin over to the very side he's sort of chastising. Overall he's promoting the Sith, but he doesn't grovel at the fact that he's a Sith, a means to an end sort of feeling is what I get from him.

the RPG elements

they're so unnecessary and add nothing to the game. all they really do is artificially pad it out to make GoW feel like it has more content than it does.

the loot rarity thing makes no sense because this isn't a looter kind of game (feels like Nioh, where it's just slapped on). I also hate how you in essence have to level up your gear and enemies have levels, because there aren't respawning enemies or ways to level up outside of story progress, so all this does is add in gates for content.

Case in point - i finish a story portion of the game and get a side quest. i head over to the side quest area, and it's all going well until i run into a mandatory encounter with a bunch of enemies with purple health bars that kill me in one hit, and I can barely do any damage to them.

In this situation, all I can really do is try and cheese my way through the battle or leave this side quest and come back later on, but I know I'll forget it. So why offer me this side quest so early in the game if I can't fight these enemies, why not offer me ways to level up outside of nothing but story progress, etc.

makes no sense. i dont see how anyone finds this shit enjoyable

Depends on how well the world is layered, like in fallout new Vegas or morrowind it feels perfectly fine running into tough if not impossible enemies depending on what you had on you and what level you were. Some games can really make that feel artificial, so I'm just curious?

niccolo machiavelli


Do you think The Prince is an actual manual for statecraft or a stealth parody created by Machiavelli inspired by The Enlightenment that was disguised to avoid the ire of the nobility?


The latter, but I'm a pretty serious fellow, and there are plenty of other people I've read as well, but he's near the top. He didn't see population and electronics coming though, but you could just shove those under his create distractions for the population chapters. Overall that wouldn't change how a ruler should be, or has to be to say the least.

The parody bit I hear people arguing seems childish, but his voice does come off as a little comical based on the translations, but overall he feels very stern and dull, but he delivers great tales of experiences to back up his claims, which he points out to have studied around 600 years of human "experiences". Which he seems to think was more than enough time to state clearly that he thinks people will never change. I mean the guy was a politician by age 13.

So many others great philosophers out there still, I mean he still has his notes in the republic, then you have Plato's republic. Twain, Henry David Thoreau, they all for together so well. And many more I need to read.
