Still playing Battlefield 1. I really love the diversity of the guns in this game. I discovered I LOVE the Howell Automatic Factory. When I first tried it, I couldn't get used to how the sights were not directly over the top of the barrel. So I switched to AA sights to see if it helped and 14 service stars later, its my favorite gun in the game. The only reason I gave the gun another chance is bc it looks so cool. Then yesterday, somehow I accidentally selected support class and spawned in with the Lewis Gun, which was weird, bc I never use it. Must've accidentally selected it playing with my load outs. Well I proceeded to go on an absolute rampage with it. Wound up going 62/21 on Cape Helles. Just when I was starting to feel a little burnt, switching to a new gun makes the game feel fresh again. I love it.

I couldn’t do it in 2005 either. Never understood the love for that game.

I grabbed the HD version for Xbox and I felt the same way. I couldn’t get past the intro. It’s like 40 minutes of nonsense. I’ll have to tough it out I guess.

Battlefield 1

so in other words...their views are consistent. whether you agree with them or not is another story.

can someone ELI5 why MSNBC is being singled-out as dropping the ball on the coverage of Yemen? Reading that article in the OP, Im failing to see the connection of MSNBC being so blatantly anti-trump and yet not covering his failures in Yemen. It seems all MSM is really lacking in coverage of Yemen. There are stories, but they are buried and shadowed by the latest Trumpism. Also...MSNBC did cover the schoolbus bombing: http://www.msnbc.com/all-in/watch/-we-just-bombed-a-school-bus-1296020547855

"substantive evidence" this makes me wet. from what i understand, the public information released thus far is just the tip of the iceberg. I wish they would hurry up already and drop the bomb.

I fucking love my crocs. fuck the haters! they have replaced my slippers and im never going back! i need to stock up!

CANT WAIT! This fall is gonna be great. RDR2 for my SP fix and BFV for my MP. My body is ready.

I played through Diablo 1 once and played the fuck outta 3. Never played much of Diablo 2. So with that, Diablo 2 remastered would be awesome.

Ive only ever replayed one SP game in my life and it was an accident. Metal Gear Solid 2. Played through the first half of the game until I got to point and it dawned on my that I remembered everything from that point forward. I had zero recollection of the opening of the game, which to this day feels bizarre. I decided to just keep going as I was doing a run to get ready for MGS4 (playing 1-3).

based on the title, it sounds like you shit the bed.

i was really just hoping the thing that took him down was being caught giving fellatio to a frog.

and there it is. i guess we will see what happens from here. i dont mind not seeing alex jones anymore and i hope this ruins him..but i just wish it didnt come about in his fashion. however, if it works to silence him..then maybe i am wrong. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/08/06/youtube-removes-alex-jones-account-following-earlier-bans.html

youre not going torch them to the ground though. thats the problem. do you really believe these naive people are suddenly going to be "oh, well the gov ruled alex jones is wrong and MSM is removing him from their sites. they must be right. i no longer support alex jones". never.going.to.happen. this only strengthens their fantastical suspicions.

see my above comments about regulating, disclaimers, categories, etc...

You take down IW and 6 more sites will pop up just like it spewing the same nonsense. Keep him in plan sight where he can be heavily scrutinized and called out.

as of now the internet is not a utility, and that's certainly a different argument on whether or not it should become one.

This is my problem with it. Look, as I said... hit him hard on the Sandy Hook thing. Make an example out of him. Force regulation that requires him to personally make a statement that his followers should not take action, its entertainment only, etc.... but this is basically saying "we dont agree with your rhetoric, so we are going to ban you". Which you can applaud if you agree with the verdict, but there may be a day where your views are being banned and my feeling is you might sing a different tune.

it is if they use religion as the reason. ask an evangelical conservative if they agree with you on porn. this is why I am not a fan. I understand they can, Im ok with them doing it bc its within their right. But I feel I'd rather keep this kooks where I can see them, then where I cant. As I said above, Id rather they be categorized as "Conspiracy Theory Entertainment" and require a very stern, non-skippable disclaimer before every episode.

For the same reason that, lets say an ISP decides its going to block all domains that host pornography because they believe it adds to the moral decay of society (or some other nonsensical reason). Im a big boy, I can make the decision on my own as to what content I chose to view. And I understand no platform is required to host it if it goes against their views. On the other side of the argument, I firmly agree that a company should have the right to ban/block/Not serve cake if its what they chose. However, this wont suddenly make AJ/IW followers go away or stop believing his lies. This in fact will only further to strengthens their narrative. Also, so long as Youtube doesn't ban him, it wont matter.

technically they are publicly traded companies and to a degree i feel that should make a difference. I'm certainly not justifying what he said. As a father of two, he can get hit by a truck today and I would praise his death. He should be held accountable for it. Force him to apologize and pay damages, etc.... but as I mentioned this is a slippery slope.

not a fan of this. I know Alex Jones is a fucking moron...but suppressing freedom of speech is a slippery slope. maybe create a category called "Conspiracy Theory Entertainment" and throw him and other like him in there. Maybe even add a disclaimer of some sort too,

Ive sat down to watch this twice and just loose interest within the first 20 minutes. Its so slow. I will have to give it a serious attempt soon though..maybe when i wrap up the 2nd season of Handmaid's Tale
