  I get it gals, I wouldn’t want to be around this either. Oof.

  Watched my brother complete all MGS games under the hardest difficulty.

  I think MGS4 was the hardest for him, under 5 hours, no continues, no health items, no kills or alerts on boss extreme difficulty.

  He was a very angry teenager.

  Good point

  Smuggling is easier than you think, being stupid is a requirement for law enforcement. Especially in America

  Just observe the system, go through a couple of times, you’ll see the cracks and should be able to figure it out from there, especially if it’s just to circumvent tariffs and not import illegal goods.

  Ask yourself, is it worth the legal system to pursue this matter if it’s relatively minor?

  Chances are you’ll just get a slap on the wrist, but there is ALWAYS risk when it comes to this stuff, so also ask yourself is it worth doing it in the first place?

  Happy smuggling and remember borders are imaginary! :)

  I mean yeah it’s one-shot land but I’d feel more comfortable in the Australian bush than in other territories, a lot of these creatures can be avoided with a little bit of knowledge and caution, but there’s no large predators

  Most large creatures here can beat the shit out of you but they wouldn’t unless you threatened them.

  After WW2 the world was split into 3 categories: first world (Western nations), second world (the Eastern bloc) and third world (everyone else)

  America and the USSR both vyed and destabilised a lot of nations to solidify their place as super powers, America gained its power from the British when its economy shifted to war production to support them.

  America made a lot of smart moves, like establishing the IMF so the US Dollar is used for international trade, and America has historically honoured all debts through the IMF.

  So lots of nations had to kowtow to America to an extent if they wanted to have decent international trade.

  Under Trump America is giving up its soft power for isolationism, and you can see a large portion of the world trying to shift away from Americas system through things like BRICS or incentivising different energy systems instead of oil

  There is a lot more to this, but I think that’s at least a start to your question

  In a similar boat, I guess I would be considered a pantheist by definition.

  Staunch atheist growing up, asked myself a similar question. My religious views don’t necessarily change my view of how the world comes to be, or promises anything like eternal salvation; just an acknowledgement that all of this comes from something and by definition you could consider that something to be god.

  Any extrapolations ontop of that would have to be considered faith or conjecture.

  In fact I think most people would find it somewhat depressing to come to a similar conclusion initially, but the questions that come from this pondering have really helped me find a harmony with the universe and I’m appreciative of that

  Where’s the satire?

  desire to learn more DSP maths increases

  But seriously that’s really cool! You also sound really cool, do you mind me asking where your studies have taken you? I’m looking at going back to study soon, potentially for compsci and mechanical engineering but I’m torn between a lot of different degree at this moment

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The most influential video game of all time - BAFTA⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Shit you’ve got my vote, I was trying to think of the most influential game in a positive light but this is actually it and it’s depressing that it is.

  Hopefully it wins its deserved title, it would make a loud statement that we’re aware of the scummy business practices that have subverted the gaming industry since corpo-ghouls realised it was profitable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon has a close encounter⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  While I enjoy speculating over UFO/UAP footage, it can be abused by a lot of media to take the spotlight off of some other very real and most likely concerning news.

  Trump is speed running the collapse of a nation, so it makes sense for coverage to deviate to UFO/other news when he’s doing dodgies.
