Certainly they weren't mad or upset by that or anything.

Crows. They can manipulate objects solve problems and can do math and understand simple geometry. They also hold grudges and can fucking fly. It's 100% gonna be crows.

Honestly, I think that's unlikely. They tend to keep nukes out of the equation, and keep it to themselves. And honestly as far as nuclear armed skirmishes go, India's kept pretty well within historical boundaries. I.e. they're in constant skirmishes with both Pakistan and China, and sometimes Russia. The fact that that region has remained as stable as it has is a bit of a testament to peace that we should all agree is good, this latest bit notwithstanding. Hopefully it can remain a smallish issue globally, and they resolve it soon, especially because global warming threatens them both.

Good. Those things were torture devices. They weren't even fun, the only way you could move quickly was backwards. So kids hitting heads, necks, backs, fingers, pinching/smashing hazard, then one wreck happens and since all the kids are going backwards at speed, there's instantly a pileup of mangled kids. Those things were so dangerous and they sucked shit even if you didn't consider the danger? Give me 20 kids with hockey sticks and a tennis ball ALL DAY.

I never, ever did that... Smashing them between other kids scooters? Every damn time.

I honestly dont even remember what it was like. 22 years feels like an eternity but I didn't even have to go to gym my senior year, because I had joined the national guard already.

Or explaining that the game actually IS safe, except how little Timmy was doing it and that's why he's going to be really good at multiples of eight from now on.

Thats just a larger scale version of escape from New York.

"if you push this button, someone you... Did you just push the button?" Me: *looking them in the eye while I slowly push it again. "At least let me tell you what it does, if you push the button, someone you don't know will die..." Me: *pushes button again. "SOMEONE WILL DIE AND YOU GET A MILLION DOLLARS!" "7,999,999,997 more to go, then"

(What's it up to now 8.2bill or so? I figure me and the people I know, plus about 200 million other people could get along well enough... Fuck, better knock another 180million or so off)

It'd work for Canada too. This particular Canadian opting to keep going.

In 20 years, they'll say it started in 2022

Perfect hair forever! "Hamburgers should be high"

I can't see that being an issue with GTA. It's far too big to fuck up like that, which is why there's a delay.

How can you say that when they haven't made a game in a decade? Its like saying the beetles are culturally irrelevant. GTA continues to influence other games and is relevant to society even if they never made another game. I think fortnite is a dumb capitalist nothing game but I can't deny it's relevance.

Mmmm, no, very mammalian.

Right, it's surreal and impossible to describe that disgust.

Agreed, I dumbed it down a bit to summarize the point. The main point being that there isn't any free pipeline of communication between these groups.

That's a large part of it. They don't care if there's a homeless camp 20 k in the forest, as long as it isn't visible.

Honestly, you're probably going to have a hard time getting a legitimate answer from someone with experience. Misinformation and disinformation are likely to be tried on both sides but the reality is that it's very difficult to really know.

1. Even when China does release statistics, you have to take it with a grin of salt.
2. homeless statistics, accounts and even acknowledgement of their existence is hard to trust even in the most democratic societies simply because of the nature of homeless living. Homeless generally tend to avoid official looking people if they can.
3. propaganda abounds from every angle when it comes to homeless, propaganda built from within, for within. Propaganda built from within, for export. Propaganda from outside, for themselves. Propaganda from outside, built for us.
4. The odds of getting first hand experience from a homeless (or formerly) person in China, on Lenny is unrealistically small. A large portion of Chinese housed don't have internet, let alone the homeless. What I can guarantee you is that it's not like the homeless you see in the west. They're not sitting outside of a Starbucks on a cell phone.

My local gas station has better food for less. Their pork rib sandwich is $3.29 and is worlds better than the sugary slop that is the mcrib.
