    Several posters have criticized those raising the point about the feds seizing state orders of PPE -- even though Trump explicitly shirked responsibility onto the states. They've made that point, along with the same needling of MSM. All of which raises the question: Does anyone think the Trump administration is doing a good job handling the pandemic? If yes, what metric are you using to gauge his effectiveness? If no, what's the point of criticizing something that patently seems like a horrible and hypocritical "policy" decision.

    Not entirely sure how I feel about the ending, but you and everyone else at Santa Monica Studio's are doing the lord's work. GOW5 better deliver.

    Impossible even with a reasonable facsimile of my goofy proposition.

    It's a ploy, a political ploy to stall the old man, keep him from rehabilitation. Keep him away from what was and trap him in what is.

    The tragedy? He knows it. I wish I could take that heartrending knowledge from him. Lift it from his mind, his heart and carry it till I couldn't caring it further, then pass it to the next (bullet taker.) We have a boundless supply of such Americans.

    Wasn't involved personally in that project, but I know the guys are top notch. Frankly, can't wait myself.

    (near) would have as much chance as a snowball in . And we all know it. But, the old man lost the con and is at THEIR mercy and they got none and have never had it. He's like Jim Bowie in that squalid room at the end of "The Alamo" (Widmark OR Patric) matters not. Crockett sets his two pieces, s both, his namesake knife is at arm's length. Crockett returns to the ramparts. All that is left is Bowie and his black man servant. That's me.

    The Dems, MSM, you Dumps, my fellows break thru the door, I cast my body across the old man, am slaughtered, cut to pieces and tossed aside, Bowie takes two with the pistols and buries his name sake in a third.

    the old man

    The articles I've read tell me it should be about 3 times what it is now, which isn't impossible but Trump will drag his feet until the fall.

    Damn, I thought you were of the XBox religion. If you liked God of War you might check Bloodborne too. God of War really seems like it took some inspiration from Bloodborne in its battle system. Though if you're looking for story, steer clear, Bloodborne is pretty minimal when it comes to story.

    Santa Monica has been a killer studio for like 15 years now. No way the next GOW doesn't deliver.

    Damn son, thanks. I've been slogging through Horizon Zero Dawn, and it's been a disappointment. Bloodborne seems more up my alley, so I'll give it a go next.

    If you do get Bloodborne, two critical things to know:

    1. You must get at least one point of insight to be able to level your character up at all. I spent about five hours spinning my wheels in the game before getting that first point of insight and finally being able to progress since I didn't know I needed it. Easiest way to do it is to run to one of the bosses, who will likely kill you but you still get the insight.
    2. The DLC is phenomenal and is a must if you're enjoying the game. Don't put off getting it until after you beat the base game though, since then you'll have to work your way to the DLC in a second playthrough.

    If you liked the Sigrun fight in God of War I'm pretty confident you'll enjoy the Bloodborne DLC.

    So what are you liking recently, El? Not sure what I want to play after finishing Persona 5 Royal. My Japanese isn't good enough for Persona 5 Scramble as much as I want to play that . 国語が糞下手だよ

    Made a detour to play Doom Eternal, which was kick ass... now back on Nioh 2 and a game that will come out in a couple months.

    Sure, the Chinese and Koreans never heap false praise on their leaders... what was I thinking?
    Tombstones don't lie. South Korea diagnosed their first case the same day we did. They've had 10,700 cases and 240 deaths.

    Are you familiar with the comparable figures for the US?

    Despite the slapdash, chaotic federal response to the pandemic, one thing that's very encouraging in all this is what regular people are doing to help and protect each other.

    aka, socialism, where each person's welfare is assured and maintained because each person, along with the environment, is part of the commons

    Publix efforts are wonderful, but unsustainable

    Nassim Taleb featured in New Yorker:

    Nassim Taleb is “irritated,” he told Bloomberg Television on March 31st, whenever the coronavirus pandemic is referred to as a “black swan,” the term he coined for an unpredictable, rare, catastrophic event, in his best-selling 2007 book of that le. “The Black Swan” was meant to explain why, in a networked world, we need to change business practices and social norms—not, as he recently told me, to provide “a cliché for any bad thing that surprises us.” Besides, the pandemic was wholly predictable—he, like Bill Gates, Laurie Garrett, and others, had predicted it—a white swan if ever there was one. “We issued our warning that, effectively, you should kill it in the egg,” Taleb told Bloomberg. Governments “did not want to spend pennies in January; now they are going to spend trillions.”

    The warning that he referred to appeared in a January 26th paper that he co-authored with Joseph Norman and Yaneer Bar-Yam, when the virus was still mainly confined to China. The paper cautions that, owing to “increased connectivity,” the spread will be “nonlinear”—two key contributors to Taleb’s anxiety. For statisticians, “nonlinearity” describes events very much like a pandemic: an output disproportionate to known inputs (the structure and growth of pathogens, say), owing to both unknown and unknowable inputs (their incubation periods in humans, or random mutations), or eccentric interaction among various inputs (wet markets and airplane travel), or exponential growth (from networked human contact), or all three.

    The New Yorker’s coronavirus news coverage and analysis are free for all readers.
    “These are ruin problems,” the paper states, exposure to which “leads to a certain eventual extinction.” The authors call for “drastically pruning contact networks,” and other measures that we now associate with sheltering in place and social distancing. “Decision-makers must act swiftly,” the authors conclude, “and avoid the fallacy that to have an appropriate respect for uncertainty in the face of possible irreversible catastrophe amounts to ‘paranoia.’ ” (“Had we used masks then”—in late January—“we could have saved ourselves the stimulus,” Taleb told me.)

    The point is to get a good catalog.

    At some point this will be all over, and we will need to get a true sense of what did, and didn't work.

    It also forces die hards to keep defending the indefensible. At some point the truth will out even to them, whether they admit it or not.

    I'm not familiar with that definition, where does it come from?

    What I meant to desribe is prosociality.
