Why are $70 AAA games slashing prices so drastically?
  • If it were just the Autumn sale, stuff like Space Marines II would have a steeper discount and frankly that sale is more than a little aenemic.

  • Do you think kids should be prohibited from using social media? If yes, how should it be done? If no, why?
  • Not just social media, they shouldn't have access to smart phones either, not until a minimum age. 13/15/16, something like that.

    Make them learn to figure things out on their own.

  • Dragonhoard
  • I guess my cat is a technodragon, he sits on the remotes.

  • Amityville Horror house may still be haunted 50 years after murders that sparked haunting craze
  • Pretty much always acknowledged as a hoax/publicity stunt.

    The murders happened because 23 years old is a prime age to develop schizophrenia, nothing more than that.

  • Why are $70 AAA games slashing prices so drastically?
  • Because it's two years old?

  • I'm paralyzed from the waist down, AMA
  • I can deal with the loss of sensation, but the random stabbing pains are maddening!

  • The message to Democrats is clear: you must dump neoliberal economics
  • What killed Biden and Harris was the outright denial of what people were feeling.

    "The economy is hurting us!"

    "What are you talking about, Jack? We have the best economy ever! Look... inflation is only 3% (on top of 3%, on top of 9%), we're doing GREAT! Not a joke! I'm serious!"

  • The message to Democrats is clear: you must dump neoliberal economics
  • "Nothing will fundamentally change" + "there is not a thing that comes to mind."

    Two killer statements.

  • I'm paralyzed from the waist down, AMA
  • When I lost feeling in my feet and lower legs (neuropathy) it was replaced with random nerve pain. Stabbing, slicing, burning sensations.

    Do you get that too? Or is it a complete loss of sensation?

  • Have you ever been experienced a natural disaster? If so, which one?
  • I was 183 miles from Mount Saint Helens when it blew up in 1980. We still had half an inch of ash. The volcano was on a Sunday, school was cancelled on Monday. We had to wear dust masks to go outside.

    When we got closer to the mountain, everything smelled like rotten eggs (sulfur). Even weeks later.

  • Franceā€™s Stance on ICC Warrants
  • English translation thanks to the Firefox plugin!

    "France will respect its international obligations, it being understood that the Rome Statute requires full cooperation with the International Criminal Court (ICC) and also provides that a State cannot be required to act in a manner incompatible with its obligations under international law with regard to the immunities of States not party to the ICC. Such immunities apply to Prime Minister Netanyahu and the other ministers concerned and will have to be taken into consideration if the ICC were to request their arrest and surrender.

    In accordance with the historic friendship between France and Israel, two democracies committed to the rule of law and respect for a professional and independent justice system, France intends to continue to work closely with Prime Minister Netanyahu and other Israeli authorities to achieve peace and security for all in the Middle East."

  • Too many of the same mods is bad for Fediverse
  • No idea what you're on about here, but this post plus your modlog history points to you just being another paper-thin-skinned would be troll who can't abide by the rules and despises being told "no" by the adult in the room.

    Read the rules of the community you're participating in, abide by those rules, you won't have a problem.

    Advocate lynching? Yeah, that's going to get removed. General rudeness and civility issues to other users? Same deal.

    The Curse of Oak Island New Season Tues., Nov. 12

    www.history.com The HISTORY Channel Finland | HISTORY TV Finland

    The HISTORY Channel Finland - HISTORY is Alive

    The HISTORY Channel Finland | HISTORY TV Finland

    There is an island in the North Atlantic...

    I've been following this story since I was a kid, so are the two brothers out digging for treasure.

    Story goes, in 1795, some kids saw a mysterious light on a nearby island in Nova Scotia. They took a boat out and found a pulley hanging from a tree branch over an odd depression in the ground.

    Like any ingenous kids, they went "Yay! Pirate treasure!" and started digging.

    10 feet down, they hit a floor of oak logs. They pulled those out and kept digging. They found another floor every 10 feet until they hit 90 feet, which had a mysterious carved stone on it.

    After that, their hole flooded and people have been digging for treasure ever since. To a point where the island has been so thoroughly dug up, the location of the original "money pit" has been lost for decades.

    The History Channel show has been trying for 12 seasons now. Lots of myths and legends about it.

    The mysterious "90 foot stone" has been lost, no rubbings or photographs were made. A transcription and translation popped up, but it doesn't seem to be older than the 1940s.

    In the 1960s, several people died during the excavation, the show is fond of repeating the "curse" that 6 people have died, and a 7th must die before the treasure can be recovered. There is no reference to that curse prior to the 1960s or 1970s.
