HeyYou

Yeah, I suspect our society is going to see some permanent changes even after (if?) this all blows over.

Really??? Perhaps you missed this post. A simple google search will also prove the point, but no, you can't do that, because it will burst the bubble of your illusion. And once again coming out with the insults and such. So, I am going to come to the startling conclusions that debating with either of you is a colossal waste of time. You have already been firmly indoctrinated by your leftist overlords, and told what to think. Even when faced with facts, you deny, deflect, and start in with the insults and character assassination. I have had more intelligent conversations with three year olds. Attempting to describe yourselves as "grownups" just made me laugh. I am going to leave you two to your delusions the BLM as anything but an organization looking for handouts for their chosen demographic, as I have better things to do with my time. You all have fun now.

You are close. :) The idea is, don't install in a protected folder. Program Files, Programs files (x86) etc. Create a folder on the root of C, (or, ideally, a separate drive) for steam/all your games. UAC (User Account Control) is what bites most folks in the keester.

According to BLM, all whites ARE racist...... If you can't make the connection between blacks committing a disproportionate amount of crime, and how the police react to that, then I don't know what to tell you. WHY they commit more crime is irrelevant in this context. The mere fact that they DO is the point. And there are four times as many white people as black in the US. Math tells us those numbers mean that you're roughly twice as likely to get killed by police if you're black. You tend to bring them up to suggest black people have nothing to complain about, but those same numbers tell the opposite story. That's very true, however, when you take into consideration that blacks commit better than 50% of violent crime, though represent only 13% of the population, why would anyone be surprised that cops shoot them in disproportionate numbers? Not like the FBI website, or DoD website, are hard to find........ Oh I know they exist, I want you, yes YOU to give me YOUR links. Not your interpretation of the links, the actual links themselves. You can't though, can you? I find that this is often the case. Hokey doke. according to this table, There were a little over 14,000 murders is 2018. (just an example year) More than half of them, were blacks. (being the victims) 7407..... but, they are only 13% of the population.... and on this table, it shows that of 2925 blacks killed, 234 of them were killed by whites. (less than 10%), 2600 of them were killed by blacks. (roughly 89%)(note: This is for 2016, can't find the table for 2018.) Here, we have statistics on just who the police have killed for the last couple years. For 2018, (might just as well be consistent here.....) 399 were white, 209 were black. Total for 2018 is 996. So, blacks make up about 21% of that total. Considering they also commit more than 50% of murders, and robberies.... Table. and not a single link - not one - stating anything to do with "marxism". here's another shocked face. go back and try again and substantiate your absolute gubbins. That was covered in another post. I didn't see any real reason to duplicate the effort. I note you conveniently ignored that particular post.

Post in the Skyrim Mod Request forums. Keep in mind, very seldom do requests actually get done.....

I could easily same the same about your points. The fact is, blacks are discriminated against because of the perception folks have of them, by seeing their behavior in their own communities. Blacks commit FAR more crime than their population should account for, thus, cops are going to treat blacks differently than whites. (and particularly in those very same neighborhoods.....) Why is that so hard to understand? When their whole culture appears to glorifiying the thug life, teaching mistrust of any authority, (the very same authorities they are demanding help them......) Having the right shoes is more important than getting an education. There are THOUSANDS of programs to specifically help blacks better their position in life, yet very few of them take advantage of them. Their response to a perceived wrong is to burn down their neighborhoods...... And even when it is PROVEN beyond ANY doubt that a police officer was quite correct in his actions, they STILL scream racism, and burn down some more neighborhoods. The press is highly complicit in this as well. If a black man is killed by police, it is EVERYWHERE. Yet how many articles/news stories has anyone seen about a white being shot by the cops??? I think I remember ONE in the last year or so, when the Australian lady that CALLED the cops was shot by the cops....... And what is happening in the cities where they are 'defunding' the police? Or placing heavy restrictions on them? Crime, including shootings.... is skyrocketing. And that is black on black crime. BLM is NOT about black lives. If they actually were, they would be attempting to address issues in their own neighborhoods. The things they ARE complaining about in their 'hood, lack of opportunity, lack of jobs/economic development, etc, relates DIRECTLY back to the crime rates in those areas. But then, I have covered all of this before, and the only answers I get back, are insults, and being accused of lying. It appears that no one here wants their mind changed. They have their positions, and they stick to them regardless of facts/evidence presented that discredits them. And when that happens? Its back to insults and character assassination. The favored tools of the left.

Standalone jet packs? No need to have it on power armor.

I pointed out in a previous post, that the statistics he was touting were easily available on the FBI website, then you come along and decry his facts. What am I supposed to think?

Trump is an idiot. Yes. Trump is an arse. Yes. He is most certainly not the brightest bulb in the chandelier, HOWEVER, I STILL like him better than any of the candidates the dems were/are putting up. I like my first and second amendment rights, thank you very much. I don't want open borders. I don't want to absolutely destroy our economy with the "Green New Deal", that was original thought up by a lady that ostensibly has a degree in economics, but, by all appearances, doesn't have the first clue about the subject. Were I in a position to do so, I would revoke her degree..... I am not necessarily voting FOR trump, so much as I am voting AGAINST the dems. It ISN'T the PERSON that I am voting for, it is the policies that they believe in. For the most part..... Even Trump takes some positions that I don't agree with, but, the dems have FAR too many positions that I VEHEMENTLY disagree with. So, I really don't care who they run, I am NOT going to vote for ANY of them. Period.

Erm, the FBI does indeed post 'real' facts....... Why would you dispute that?

Sometimes, when the game generates the cell, and the various spawns within it, something doesn't go quite right, and the game chokes and dies. If you stay out of the area until the cell resets, and then respawns when you get near, the problem will mysteriously be gone. :)

I would point out, that everything he said is easily verifiable by simply going to the FBI website, and such. Not to mention that the non-statistical claims he makes, are also documented in numerous locations, and not just Right-wing sites.

Thank You. That one just cracked me up in a major way. Time to get the paper towels, and glass cleaner, to clear the coffee from my monitor. :D To look at him you'd never in a million years guess that he had such a mean streak, would you? I am awful. :D

Seriously?? THAT is your response?? I don't think I have ever seen a more creative misinterpretation of what I typed. Congratulations. You win the internet.

Was never trying to convince you, I already made it clear in my other post, that I didn't believe you wanted your mind changed. Your response affirms that. The point of my post was to address your fallacies so that others could do their own research and get a better understanding of things. I mean, you basically just ignored every thing I said and repeated the same things your said before, all with no understanding of how those things work. I don't care if you aren't a Republican or watch Fox News, you still regurgitate a lot of their talking points, most if not all of which have already been debunked. I'm assigning behavior to you based on your actions, because you are right, I don't know you. I only know what you say in public, and what you say, is regurgitating tired Right-Wing republican talking points meant to discredit the BLM movement by hoping their base doesn't research what they actually say. I can't believe you do your own research, because if you did, you wouldn't have been saying the stuff you said earlier. So I call bull on that. It's not a matter of your opinion not coinciding with mine, its the fact that you wave an opinion around as though it is fact, when they've been debunked and discussed to death already. Nobody outside the right-wing bubble take these talking points seriously, so if you actually did do your own research, I recommend looking up more than just what you find on Right-Wing sites. And I see a lot of dem talking points in your post. What's your point?? So let me give you my perspective on what you have to say. That's fair, right? You have firmly swallowed the BLM lie. You take everything they have to say as the gospel truth, and then go on to denigrate and belittle anyone that disagrees with you. You deny the basic causes of the problems BLM is bringing up. You pick and choose your sources to support your position. (Ok, that doesn't come as a surprise, I do the exact same thing..... :) ) What we have here, in this little corner of the internet, is a microcosm of the world at large. Two VERY different viewpoints on the same issue. This does not come as a surprise either. We are a VERY diverse group here, with folks from all over the world. If we all agreed on everything, I would be flat out stunned. That just isn't going to happen. We can type out our points, and others can accept them, or not.... as in is the case in the world at large. Are we going to change any minds in here? I highly doubt it. My biggest problem is I am old, and jaded. I have seen a fair bit in my life, and most of it really isn't all that good. There ARE good people out there, from EVERY spectrum of our population. Most folks are middle-of-the-road, and are more than happy to let folks live their lives as they see fit, so long as it doesn't interfere with them living THEIR lives as THEY see fit. When you have one group trying to shove a viewpoint down EVERYONES throat, there IS going to be some pushback. It's simply human nature. Racism in america IS a problem, I just do not believe that BLM is applying the proper approach to it. (nor is the democratic leaders.....) Nor are they acknowledging the root causes. So long as that remains the case, I will not support them.

In the end though, the climate is going to change regardless of what we do, so, we get two choices, we can adapt, or, we can die. Wouldn't be first time a changing climate has wiped out a species. (or several millions species all at once for that matter.) wrong, you are narrowing your view and your options and nobody knows why! extremely simplified you have at least 3 choices: 1. do nothing (it is back to stone age but this does not mean you have to die!) 2. accept as a fatalist what is just happening and do nothing, it is like 1. but you do it because you want it that way! (probably that what you and trump prefer) 3. accept and study the facts, use that info or support others to make future better while using science and valuable information in a way you think it should be at least a littlebit better for all (that is what all u.s presidents, excluding trump, prefered!). We cannot stop climate change. It IS going to happen. Denying that particular fact flies in the face of BILLIONS of years of evidence to the contrary. When I say "adapt", I don't mean "do nothing". Reducing our impact on the environment is definitely something we need to do, and it isn't just our carbon footprint. But implementing policies that are going to bury us in debt, trash our economy, make EVERYTHING more expensive...... isn't a good idea either. One of the biggest issues that we face, is population growth..... And that is going to be impossible to correct. (barring another world war, or a disease that makes covid look like a summer cold......) We can see the writing on the wall. We KNOW what is going to happen. We need to start taking steps NOW, to mitigate problems we are going to face in the future. By altering how we treat our environment, we *might* be able to delay the inevitable, but, in the end, it's still inevitable. Climate change is a fact of life. Has been since the earth first formed. So, prepare for it.

First of all, good job trying to deflect what the movement is about. Maybe this works with people who don't do their own research but not here. The Black Lives Matter movement and organization is mainly about addressing systematic racism and police brutality not about general crime. I'm not going to address this further because it's a dumb talking point and common deflection tactic by people against BLM. First of all, BLM doesn't control the media. They respond to the events as they happen, and when they don't protest out on the streets they definitely do so on social media. Regardless this is making three false assumptions: That cop kills white people at a higher rate and percentage than black people. False. Statistics showcase that black Americans are killed at a significantly higher rate than white Americans, and still higher than any other minority. Also yes, by numbers more white people are killed, but that's only because you have a literal higher percentage of people. I shouldn't have to be teaching you basic math, learn how statistics, rates of change, and percentages work before you start spouting numbers. Because you clearly don't understand the math behind this, or are purposefully leaving that out to get your point across. As for rates, they are killed at a much higher percentage, in fact white people are killed at only 13 per million while blacks at 31 per million. So while white people may have more numbers, that's simply a population and percentage issue. 5% of 196,943,713 (the number of white people in America) will always be a large number.That's simple math. I shouldn't have to explain that to you. That BLM doesn't care about police brutality as a whole. We do. It's in our mission statement: We are unapologetically Black in our positioning. In affirming that Black Lives Matter, we need not qualify our position. To love and desire freedom and justice for ourselves is a prerequisite for wanting the same for others. Like they say, we are dealing with our issues first as a community because nobody else will, but by dealing with these issue, we'll be able to apply that freedom and justice to others. That BLM cares about the color of the cop abusing their power. No one in this movement has ever said that we give black cops the benefit of the doubt. You pulled that out of your ass and are acting like it's a position the movement holds. It isn't the issue here. We are talking about police brutality, murder by police, and abuse of power by law enforcement. Not legitimate crimes. I will no longer address that point, because we both know that has nothing to do with BLM. As for the statistics on violent crime. We account for that much crime because we are disproportionately poor. Crime rates increase due to the level of poverty. Yet the way you word your statistics are as though it's because black people are inherently violent. That is not the case. Whether the victim has history with the police is never a justification for abuse of power or shooting unarmed people. So no, because poor people happen to be more likely to commit a crime doesn't mean officers should have the right to treat every single black person they come across as though they are. BECAUSE BLACK PEOPLE ARE NOT INHERENTLY VIOLENT. You gotta love when people who aren't part of our culture, tell us, what our culture means and what it does. We don't glorify killing cops or being thugs, "Thug Life" is just something that the media held on to. The problem is companies like BET were bought out from their black owners, and the new white owners started blacklisting artists who had stuff to say about their music. The biggest rappers in our culture, rarely glorify the thug life. And yet, even if we assume you are correct. Where are all these black people shooting up the cops, whenever a cop stops them. Isn't it the other way around....almost like....cops are taught that black people want them dead? Huh. I wonder how interactions with black people will go when cops are trained to think black people want them all dead? And yes, we tell kids to be wary of police, because guess what? They treat us like s***, shoot us when we are unarmed, and try to arrest us for the simple crime of being black in America. But we don't teach children, to fight them or hate them. The kids themselves ended up harboring that hate because of the abuse they faced from cops. Oh yeah. Because the looting that is going on now, of which BLM does not officially support, and many times has actually been shown to be deep cover white supremacists or cops, is why business 5 - 10 years ago didn't set up their shops here. Nope, it has nothing to do with systematic racism, redlining, poor neighborhoods, etc. Nope, its the rioting that we do all the time, every day, 24/7. Cuz that's what black people do. /s What? I don't even know what you're on about and I don't even think you know what you are on about. So I'm going to ignore this non-sequitur or straw-man because it has nothing to do with BLM or this conversation. First of all, BLM is solving their own problem. You just haven't done any research outside your right-wing hug box that you don't know it. They are currently fighting for many laws to be passed or revoked, have proposed numerous bills, and even got a few laws put into place. So yeah, I'd say they are doing the best they can. Which brings us to the next point. African Americans are a minority in America, of course we need other people to help us get things passed, we don't have the numbers. So the best we can do is try to get as many laws passed as possible, while spreading the word to gain more support from people outside our ethnicity. You know....like we are doing now. You have adequately proven nothing. You've just regurgitated debunked right-wing talking points because you haven't done your own research on these topics. I guess in your made up world we are a terrorist organization, even though nobody recognizes us as such. Only you and your right-wing friends on Fox. But you know the actual people who hunt, find, stop, and root out terrorism. They all agree we aren't. But then again, from your other posts, you don't listen to experts so Cis La Vis. Just call anything you don't like a terrorist movement. As for the Marxist thing, yeah. We are. Because the American system has failed us completely. So if playing democratically didn't work, and Republicans are just going to keep fighting to keep the status quo. We move to more left-leaning ideologies, because perhaps those systems will work.

Still doesn't convince me that BLM is anything more than an organization advocating more gimmes for a certain segment of our population. Ignoring the basic reasons that police treat blacks as they do, is the primary reason I give them no credibility. It is NOT because all cops hate blacks. That's just a non-starter. I don't watch fox news. I'm not a republican either.... Of course, neither am I a democrat. The media reports things as they happen? Ok, so, why don't we hear about all those white folks killed by cops? Are you trying to convince me that isn't happening?? I am not disputing that cops kill more blacks by percentage of population, but, you are also ignoring the fact that blacks commit FAR more crime by percentage of the population. Assigning behavior to me, when you know nothing about me isn't wise either. You make blanket assumptions that are patently untrue. I do my own research, and come to my own conclusions. If my conclusions don't coincide with yours, well, that's just the nature of the beast. We apparently have quite different perspectives on this particular topic. BLM assumes positions that I simply cannot agree with. Is racism an issue? It certainly is. Are the approach they are taking going to help? Not from where I am sitting. When you make cops afraid to do their jobs, crime rates increase. Baltimore is a shining example of that. Do things need to change? Yes. They most certainly do. But, defunding the police is NOT the answer. Changing perceptions is where it needs to start, and the only folks that can do that, are the black communities, where, in my opinion, the problem starts.

So what facts are you second guessing? Just throwing a blanket statement out there doesn't exactly help. If you disagree with what I am presenting, then show me a counter-argument. Don't just accuse me of spreading misinformation, and then bow out. That's not a debate, that's admitting you don't have a counter-argument.

oh heyyou, come on! are you kidding ? weatherforforecast was never so precise as in the lst years and co2 poolution was never so percisely measured as in the last few years. we have sattelites and you think you know better as the scientists who invented and optimized this stuff ? i know trump thinks so, but you! come on. is it really so sad as it seems ? One thing you don't know about me, is I went to school for this stuff, for 8 years. Just never did anything with it. (but, it was fun going to school.....) And sure, we can measure things rather precisely, that still doesn't mean our conclusions are correct. After all, everything that is happening now, has happened before. Numerous times. LONG before homo sapiens were even a twinkle in the universes eye. Not to mention that since we CAN now measure these things rather precisely, and we can see more, it gives the appearance that things are happening more often.... which really isn't the case. Climate is a VERY complex system, and we are only just beginning to understand the various factors that can influence it, a fair few of which, aren't even terrestrial. So, once again, Is the climate changing? Yep. Sure is. Is mankind the SOLE cause. Absolutely not. We ARE a contributing factor, and reducing our CO2 output wouldn't be a bad thing, but, to do so at the major expense to our economy is throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Even if we completely stopped producing CO2 today (impossible, as that would also imply we quit breathing....) the climate would STILL change. And a carbon tax? That's friggin' laughable. Since when has a tax EVER solved a problem? Or even contributed to solving a problem???? The government isn't in business to SOLVE problems. They like to treat the symptoms, while ignoring the disease. Its far more profitable (for them...) that way. In the end though, the climate is going to change regardless of what we do, so, we get two choices, we can adapt, or, we can die. Wouldn't be first time a changing climate has wiped out a species. (or several millions species all at once for that matter.)

Little kids scream and run when they see me too. Of course, they are screaming "ICE CREAM GRANDPA!!!!".... and running AT me..... :D

We haven't gotten to that point yet. We are merely at the 'civil unrest' stage. Currently, it is open to question whether it will be a political war, or a race war........ It does seem to have some of the earmarks of a "shooting war" though Hey ... keep your head down, powder dry and flints at hand. I live out in the sticks, so, not really in a target area. But, I DO have several weapons, including a couple so-called "assault rifles", and around a 1000 rounds of ammo for them. :smile: I am more worried about the waves of refugees I will likely see coming from detroit. :D I hear ya ... won't be zombies behind them either, eh? Ya just never know. :D LOL ... at least if they're zombies you won't find yourself with any moral/ethical/should I go left or should I go right issues clouding your aim ... start a bit low and to the right of center, squeeze and release once off target (assuming full auto and right handed shooter of course). Rinse and repeat as necessary. Still rather difficult to acquire fully automatic weapons here in the US. :) Much as the left leaning press would like you to think that every gun nut has two or three of 'em. :D I DO have large capacity magazines though. Oh the HORROR! :D

Corona is a threat, there is no doubt about that. At least, not to me.... (considering that due to my health issues, if I contract it, it will quite likely kill me.) Some in government would like to deny that, but, the evidence is there..... cold hard facts. I will grant you that Trump is on the wrong side of this issue, but, I still like him better than Hilary, or biden..... As for CO2.... it isn't a pollutant. Its a natural part of our atmosphere, and without it, we wouldn't exist. But, getting to what you are actually referring to, Climate Change.... yeah, the climate IS changing, and there is consensus on that. (and I agree with it.) The major debate is over just how much of it human activity accounts for. The thing is, the climate changes, regardless of if industrialized man is around, or not. Where I live, it has been both a tropical paradise, but, it has also been buried under a mile of ice, and industrialized man was nowhere to be found for those events. (of course, it has also been sea bed as well......) Water levels have risen, and fallen. We are still finding cities under the ocean, that have been there for centuries, if not millennia, again, long before industrialized man was around. ARE humans contributing to it? Quite likely. Are we the SOLE cause? Nope. To believe otherwise, ignores the facts. And then we have the whole thing of 'settled science'...... Scientists are not infallible. Look at history, what was once 'settled science', has, on far too many occasions, been determined to be in error. Are we wrong here? Maybe. Maybe not. We won't have an answer to that question for the foreseeable future.... if ever.

Black lives matter.... but, it seems, only when they are killed by police. In the US, on average, cops kill about 200 blacks per year. Right around 500 whites are killed per year. Given that the press rarely reports about a white guy getting shot, it seems they are trying to give the impression that it doesn't happen. A tiny percentage of shootings are NOT justified. (maybe that should be "deaths at the hands of the police, as not all of them were shot.....) But, regardless of circumstances, if a black is killed, it makes the news, and the protestors come out in droves. If a white is killed..... crickets. Keep in mind, a fair few of the folks shot by police, are shot by black officers....... So, are we to believe that every white shot by a cop is justified? I find that highly unlikely....... BLM also likes to say that black on black crime isn't the issue here. But, isn't that the underlying issue behind cops being more inclined to shoot black folks? Black are around 13% of the population, yet they account for better than 50% of violent crime....... Not to mention that almost every victim has had a pretty significant history with the police in any event. Most have been convicted felons, that have been in and out of prison...... some, several times. So, maybe the fact that blacks seem to be more inclined toward crime has something to do with the way police interact with them? And then there is the whole black on black crime..... Blacks kill around 2500 of their own per year, including women and children. But, does BLM say anything at all about that? Nope. Even when little kids are killed sitting in their own living room at home..... If they are oh-so-concerned about black folks being killed, why don't they do something about one of the leading causes of death of blacks? BLM also claims that 'black culture' in the inner cities isn't the issue....... but, once again, that rings rather false. When your entire culture glorifies the thug life, killing cops, 'sticking it to the man', etc...... teaches their children mistrust of the police, or any authority figure for that matter, how do you expect interactions with said groups are going to go? Unless/until THAT changes, nothing else is going to change either. The same crowd screams about 'economic disadvantage'.... and how no one seems to want to open a business in their neighborhoods..... But, when their favorite response to a black person being killed by cops is burning down their own neighborhood, and looting/destroying businesses, is it any wonder folks don't want to open a business there? Not to mention the crime rate in said neighborhoods.... Why would anyone in their right mind want to open a business there???? And then there is 'profiling'. When the police do it, it seems it is a 'bad' thing.... but, when insurance companies do it, its perfectly ok. Along with a selection of other businesses....... Why is that? BLM seems to want others to solve their problems. But, the problem becomes, until the underlying issues are addressed, that BLM denies ARE issues, there isn't going to be a solution. Same goes for the inner cities. Until the folks that actually LIVE there take steps to point their culture in a different direction, nothing there is going to change either. It simply cannot be forced by people from the outside. We have already more than adequately proven that....... So no. I do not support BLM. An organization that was founded by marxists, and a convicted terrorist. They are in denial about the root source of their problems, which blows their credibility right out of the water.
