Oh, that definitely was their intention... to make you stop and think about your actions. They gave you a choice.

I believe they even give you an achievement for NOT shooting anyone in that scene. Unfortunately, I shot a couple innocents before realizing what was happening.

The first time I played it, I just figured it was just a messed up level. But then I thought about it and wondered why they included it. Totally changed my opinion.

If some conservative parent who doesn't normally play videogames were handed that without context, they'd be all for banning the thing. And yet they wouldn't realize it was teaching you a lesson.

I agree.

I was taken aback by this level of CoD: MW2 as many others were:

It was such a morality issue that came up. I simply didn't expect it to be in the series. It made me not fire like I normally would. I felt so uncomfortable and guilty being there. It just shows that it's the person not the game.

Sounds like something a guilty guy would say.

Just saying.

He had "consistently been drinking since the age of 13."

'Cause that golden ball is heavy. Damn heavy.

Is that still considered skin?

Safety is still improving. There are quite a bit more safety features in average cars than 12 years ago. Blind spot detection, collision warnings, brake assist, lane departure, rearview cameras, pedestrian detection, more airbags, driver attention warnings, etc.

A lot of those features were more often available in luxury cars, but they are becoming standard everywhere.

That's their secret, they're always angry.

Never trust people with pinkie rings.

Yes, but it's also a joke. He likely doesn't believe what he says. He's trying to make people laugh.

You conserve your brain by not learning about stuff and things.

5D Go Fish right there.

Something, something... don't ask for permission, ask for forgiveness. Yet, they asked for permission and were denied.

Not sure if they thought they'd get away with it or if they just wanted this publicity. I'm thinking it was their hubris.

And crypto is more stable than some governments' real currency. It's been a life saver for some people.

It's also a lot faster for transactions than normal banking when sending money to people in other countries.

It's still in the early days... like email in the late 80s / early 90s. It should get better, but there's so much crap and scams out there right now. It's still very much the wild west. It's like Wall Street on acid.

EDIT: people downvote but don't say what was wrong. Awesome.

Okay, God, just smite me. I'm done with this planet. Smite me good. You won.

Re-reading the first four makes it seem like God is a very insecure individual.

On the one hand, I hope he loses.

On the other hand, I hope Meta also loses.

Something tells me we are the ones who lose.

Drive it anyway. The Cybertruck can handle it. The Cybertruck can handle anything! I heard it's made out of 1978 Hot Wheels parts and 1982 Megaforce machismo.

I saw "bulletproof vest" in the article but missed the "weighted or" part just before it. I did partial research before I posted. Lol.
