It's missing the trademark scary music and delusional reporter looking terrified (also I doubt the subtitles are accurate at every moment).

Obviously extrapolating to an entire country that the Chinese have a better chance of building bridges around the world from one person would be a mistake, but China does have a better chance of building bridges than we ever will and I take this video as a reflection of Chinese culture honestly.

You can't make a country improve their human rights problems and modernize if you sanction them and then bomb them to the ground. More power to China, and a giant middle finger to all the libs who don't remember Afghanistan or China exists unless it's to make the lives of their people more miserable in any way possible. Biden stole (a billion? 8 billion?) dollars from Afghanistan when they were struggling in the aftermath of an earthquake; the people's lives only became worse for it.

But please libs, please tell me all about how China's not trying to cooperate with the world out of principle; yeah, much better that our government should just bomb millions of people to death than countries should make the world a better place for selfish reasons. Libs aren't just a death cult, it's a very idiotic death cult.

(Quick note: I've no idea of the OP's political leanings; I follow him because I'm curious about Russia-Ukraine situation. He's probably unfortunately reactionary)

I don't even know the historical premise of the movie, I just thought this was hilarious.

Yeah, because the Algerians just famously sat around and waited for the French to leave, and even if they fought, not like they were in any actual danger.

Yeah the French totally left all on their own, and this love of the freedom fighters is comparable to American conservatives.

That thread is a ~~gold~~ crap mine of dunk tank posts.

The mixed reality is actually legit really good; I played a free demo of a game that lets you summon creatures and to arm yourself with a bunch of swords, a rifle and a revolver (I think the swords each have a special ability as well). You can summon something as weak as a goblin (though with a shield), and I think it goes all the way up to a dragon, perhaps beyond that too; for context, the first creature was a straight up sword and shield goblin, the second a rogue type character that can throw a line of daggers at you from a distance, and the third was a straight up red giant who towers over you (also he's got like maybe four or five health bars), and those were three out of maybe ten or more enemies. The fight against those three enemies (I lost against the giant by the way) was actually good as a workout and I was tired by the end of it (then again I'm fat and out of shape).

The Q3 also has an air link feature that lets you stream your oculus games (which would have been designed originally for the Rift and Rift S) to your headset, and a steam link that does the same.

I bought some custom VR lens from a company called VR lens lab, and I'll hopefully have them in three weeks or less; they should allow me to use the Q3 without having to wear glasses, so that's awesome.

Honestly as much as I love VR, I think mixed reality is probably going to be my preferred game type as I can see the world around me so I know where I am at all times and where every piece of furniture or clutter is.

The headset isn't without its flaws though; it heats up uncomfortably, the battery life needs to be much longer, you can't use the air link or steam link feature I mentioned if you're on another network (so no activating your PC at home and trying to stream games from it at a friend's house; although apparently you can use virtual desktop to do that I think? Not sure how or if that truly works), they need to up the resolution of how the real world looks in the headset, the IPD despite my fiddling still isn't aligning properly for some reason, I could almost swear the FOV is smaller than the Rift S, the sides of the headset from within the headset are very visible making you feel like you're wearing goggles.

I tried finding some info on which games may offer the best workout and hilariously found a workout game called supernatural that actually has a subsciption model that's more expensive than a netflix subscription (the cheapest offer goes at $28 a month).

My room is badly cluttered, so unfortunately working out in my room is going to be somewhat unfun; I need to see what I can do about making space or playing somewhere else.

So let me get this straight: so they have business portfolios in their industry that people can invest in (piracy), they invest some of their wealth in local communities to curry favor with the average American I mean local Somalis, they keep the lion's share of the wealth and buy expensive mansions, luxurious cars and throw lavish, drug-laden parties.....and they make disingenuous claims to justify their actions. They make a claim they're using their funds for environmental projects, but then don't. Also they hinder efforts intended to benefit local communities probably because it would harm their own efforts and their own income.

But they're from the global South (Africa specifically, and they're black too), so hence they're called warlords, while ours are called businessmen. Their efforts harms Western countries so they're dangerous warlords, while Western operations harm countries in the global South and are at worst called controversial.

I'm not going to defend what these guys do, but I'm entirely fine with waiting on fixing this problem until Western countries knock off the crap they're engaging in first or actually actively fix it (rather than just stick a band aid on the problem). I wonder how many of these problems in the global South end up disappearing as a consequence of cleaning up Western actions.

I wonder if the Nazis killed anyone in Soviet territory or did anything particularly heinous that would disgust anyone.

I don't like rust.

I don't like building a full building inch by inch. I don't like having to worry about eating too. I can't speak to Palworld, but I don't like rust's empty world, devoid of NPC's short of playing it coop with a lib. I don't like literally every tiny thing having to be crafted, especially with it having its own little crafting subsystems like crafting firewood for fuel for a furnace which crafts materials that are used in another crafted device to craft something else. I also despise crafting and working farms.

One of the few mercies this game offers is Pals to pick up the pace.

I'm going to give it a chance but I'm already going in expecting to be disappointed.

One simple improvement would be being able to just plop down full buildings, but I don't believe that's possible at all.

I didn't realize the West Bank was this bad; I also genuinely thought 'illegal settler' meant some weirdo who went and built a house in the West Bank, but then Hasan mentioning multiple times there's hundreds of thousands of people there and this video showing how big and developed these settlements are, like clearly the Israeli government is making all this a reality and not subtly so.

Genuinely I think for all the supporters of Israel, these people need to make a friend in the West Bank or in Gaza and go give them a visit. I say friend as well, because if they just go over there and talk to Israelis, they'll be told to be scared of the Palestinian residents and they'll be fine watching them be treated brutally. At least if they have a friend there, maybe they'll see the Palestinians as fellow human beings and have some concern for them.

I'm sure many pro-zionist Jewish people who've never visited there are the same; I refuse to believe every pro-zionist Jewish person is an ethnic supremacist. I recall there being some group called breaking the silence or something that was made up of former IDF who realized Israel was engaging in horrific atrocities.

I feel like the answer is yes, but thought I'd come here and ask first. It stops a ton of connections and warns me that it's worried about trojans, riskware and ransomware. I don't really know how any of this works and was concerned that maybe I ought to just let malwarebytes do its thing, but my download speeds are pretty slow (like....sometimes just a few kilobytes in speed).
