After nearly 21 years I've mastered the spray pattern so really just a straight line yk

Sometimes u just need to sit there and breathe for a minute clear the mind of bullshit

"So much to talk about" It's hard to make a clear statement about what's happening in this war when there is constantly misinformation being thrown around. Smarter to stay quiet than spread wrong information in a time where people just want the facts. Propaganda will be thrown around on both sides, obviously, it's fucking war. No one is claiming Zelenskyy is a good guy, it's well known the dude is corrupt and has done stuff to consolidate power during this war. Russia flexing nuclear weapons when threatened by western nations? I wonder what other Asian country we have heard this from! Wasting your time on media is a given to drive you mad. The media has been nothing but gobbledygook for years at this point, there's nothing new there. The only notable news moments are the Russian news people walking out and protesting on live state TV. I mean, All Ts has a point, this war has done no good except further destabilize former SSR nations, and show how fragile the global economy is when a couple major sources of grain and a major source of oil becomes unavailable to the global market. Multiple nations are now at risk for further food shortages (namely middle-eastern nations and African nations), and the price of crude oil has spiked globally, making the cost of living around the world to go up even further.

Since their data collection policy is vague, they could technically be collecting your data at any point, and can in theory collect any kind of data since it is not specified. Basically, if you don't want some random third-party developer knowing what you're doing on your computer and them saving that information, I would recommend you uninstall it. The danger is the fact that a group of people you know nothing about (i.e. their moral standards, motives, etc) can collect data of what you do on your computer without you knowing.

Hello, The popular audio software Audacity has updated their privacy policy to be extremely invasive. Audacity is open source, and now it's apparent it has become less of a public wonder and more of an invasion of privacy. According to the new privacy policy: The article I am sourcing for this post goes on to say: With all this in mind, it's clear there's some potentially shady shit going on with Audacity. If you care about the privacy of your data, I recommend uninstalling this software whether you use it or not.

I made an assumption, that could be wrong. Just figured if you're transporting a good through someone's economic zone, you need to give some sort of compensation. Finance and Policy are not things I study, so Yeah uh just putting two random links with a bunch of information doesn't really help... mind pulling some excerpts that back your point? I ain't reading through all that just to prove myself wrong. Oh I know, I just wanted to make fun of you.

This is my source: https://www.naturalgasintel.com/nord-stream-2-readies-first-line-for-natural-gas-but-start-up-still-in-the-offing/ Goes through both economic and territorial zones of Finland, Denmark, and Germany. Source: "trust me bro" Putin is an imperialist. Ukraine is a sovereign nation with its own culture, history, and desires. 44 million people shouldn't be subject to the aggression of a man with his pockets as his only interest. He does not care about the lives of Russians or Ukranians.

Well, I don't believe your theory is right. The Nord 2 pipeline was (before Germany shut it down bc Ukranian invasion) being built to service Europe and ween off of the pipeline going through Ukraine. It has nothing to do with taxes (like you said earlier) since both of these pipelines run through numerous EU countries. I think Putin is just an aggressor who wants to revive the USSR to compensate for a stagnating economy and population growth. You could make a loose argument for the two regions invaded years ago since both those regions technically have majority ethnic Russians, but I don't feel like war is justifiable in 99% of cases. This attack is just downright aggression to obtain more land, wealth, and workers. Russia deserves better than Putin, or any of his oligarch friends.

Your name looks nice in purple my friend. From both getting demoted in the same night to each having a redemption arc. All your takes are still mid tho

This whole situation is a really tough one. The ones suffering the most in the situation are the peoples of both of these countries. Ukrainians indiscriminately targeted by Russian shelling and Russian people watching their economy sink (The value of the ruble as of today is the lowest it has been since at least 2003), and 18 and 19 year olds are being conscripted and told to invade Ukraine without much understanding of why or how. Putin is a bitch who just wants to go out in a blaze of glory before he kicks the can. You know you fucked up when your buddy buddy politicians and corrupt oligarchs are denouncing your actions. It's clear it is only because their pockets are threatened, but this whole situation just baffles me. Russian morale is low and ever-decreasing it seems. I hope this conflict ends swiftly and with minimal casualties. Fuck Putin.

Coming soon to a global crisis near you: China invades Taiwan: To Decide the "Real" China!

uhhh i cleaned it up and got a new background recently so

Jews (Hebrew: יְהוּדִים ISO 259-2 Yehudim, Israeli pronunciation [jehuˈdim]) or Jewish people are an ethnoreligious group[10] and nation[11][12] originating from the Israelites[13][14][15] and Hebrews[16][17] of historical Israel and Judah. Jewish ethnicity, nationhood, and religion are strongly interrelated,[18][19] as Judaism is the ethnic religion of the Jewish people, although its observance varies from strict to none.[20][21] Jews originated as an ethnic and religious group in the Middle East during the second millennium BCE,[9] in the part of the Levant known as the Land of Israel.[22] The Merneptah Stele appears to confirm the existence of a people of Israel somewhere in Canaan as far back as the 13th century BCE (Late Bronze Age).[23][24] The Israelites, as an outgrowth of the Canaanite population,[25] consolidated their hold with the emergence of the kingdoms of Israel and Judah. Some consider that these Canaanite sedentary Israelites melded with incoming nomadic groups known as 'Hebrews'.[26] Though few sources mention the exilic periods in detail,[27][failed verification] the experience of diaspora life, from the Babylonian captivity and exile to the Roman occupation and exile, and the historical relations between Jews and their homeland thereafter became a major feature of Jewish history, identity and memory.[28] In the millennia following, Jewish diaspora communities coalesced into three, major ethnic subdivisions according to where their ancestors settled: Ashkenazim (Central and Eastern Europe), Sephardim (initially in the Iberian Peninsula), and Mizrahim (Middle East and North Africa).[29][30] Prior to World War II, the worldwide Jewish population reached a peak of 16.7 million,[31] representing around 0.7 percent of the world population at that time. During World War II, approximately 6 million Jews were systematically murdered by Nazi Germany in Europe during the Holocaust.[32][33] Since then the population has slowly risen again, and as of 2018 was estimated at 14.6–17.8 million by the Berman Jewish DataBank,[1] less than 0.2 percent of the total world population.[34][note 1] The modern State of Israel is the only country where Jews form a majority of the population. It defines itself as a Jewish and democratic state in the Basic Laws, Human Dignity and Liberty in particular, which is based on the Declaration of Independence. Israel's Law of Return grants the right of citizenship to Jews who have expressed their desire to settle in Israel.[36] Jews have significantly influenced and contributed to human progress in many fields, both historically and in modern times, including philosophy,[37] ethics,[38] literature,[39] politics,[39] business,[39] fine arts and architecture,[39] music, theatre[40] and cinema, medicine,[41][42] and science and technology,[39] as well as religion; Jews authored the Bible,[43][44] founded Early Christianity[45] and had a profound influence on Islam.[46] In these ways, Jews have also played a significant role in the development of Western culture.[47][48]

WE LIVE CHARITY STREAM LIVE @ twitch.tv/steamgamers LESS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

HEY THE CHARITY STREAM IS TODAY BE THERE OR BE SQUARE JUST SO YOU KNOW IF WE HIT $1000 IN DONATIONS ANOTHER ITEM WILL BE ADDED TO THE RAFFLE (Hint: It's a knife)

I understand your frustration. I definitely feel it too. Even sometimes when I try to get pop on a server I don't last too long because the players on make it pretty difficult to play. I can definitely understand your perspective but there's a couple of key flaws with it. One, there is no "correct way" to go about this. Until those nuisances technically cross the bound of rulebreaking, we really can't touch them in terms of punishment. If toxicity gets too too much usually staff does step in and they're at least spoken to. Banning off people generally found "nuisances" and "unlikeable" would be irreparable to any sort of idea that we shelter an inclusive and welcoming environment. There will be toxic people in every circle in the globe, and gaming communities tend to attract slightly larger amounts of those type of people. It's a sorry state to see the servers like this, but we can't fault the user. Everyone in this situation takes fault to at least some extent. Pointing fingers will only create a rift between groups of people, and that's the last thing we want right now. I appreciate your willingness to voice your mind and speak on something as touchy as this in a genuine way, though it may not be the nicest way. If you have evidence of anyone crossing this line into rulebreaking or evidence of people constantly toeing the line, please shoot me a DM.

SPREAD THE LOVE CHARITY STREAM As people, it is good to give to those in need when you have the means to do so. We have decided that the time is right to host another charity stream. The charity we have chosen this stream is DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERS, this charity goes around the world to provide medical care to countries that need it most. You can read about the charity more by clicking "DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERS". Our goal this time around is $1400, which would just beat out the number we hit in 2020's charity stream that went to Direct Relief at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. We understand this is a large goal, but we have faith that we can achieve this goal through everyone's cooperation and generosity. The stream will be on THIS SATURDAY, February 12th from 12PM - 8PM EST. We will be playing Minecraft, with a little twist. The group of players playing, including @Strayyz, @Mikey., @oSen, @Dom, and @gwert will be shooting to complete certain tasks within the game... but they will definitely struggle. Through the power of your donations, and a plugin made by our very own @Acer, certain donations will trigger events in the server that make our player's lives harder! Players can have TNT spawn on them, have mobs spawn on them, be hit by lightning, and more! Oh, and to sweeten the pot a little bit, to everyone that donates $20 or more to this stream, you'll be entered into a little drawing for this: It's a Field-Tested StatTrak AK-47 Neon Revolution. It's worth about $40. I quite enjoy this skin but if it'll get people to donate to a good cause, I don't mind giving it up Hope to see everyone there having a good time, supporting a good cause. WE WILL BE LIVE AT TWITCH.TV/STEAMGAMERS WE WILL BE LIVE AT TWITCH.TV/STEAMGAMERS WE WILL BE LIVE AT TWITCH.TV/STEAMGAMERS WE WILL BE LIVE AT TWITCH.TV/STEAMGAMERS WE WILL BE LIVE AT TWITCH.TV/STEAMGAMERS WE WILL BE LIVE AT TWITCH.TV/STEAMGAMERS

Pretty much this. School is back in session, and usually when people get home the server pop goes back up. Usually around 4pm est our servers will pop again.

..... You you missed my point If you have the bomb, you are not KOS. If you use the secret, you are kos. If you do not use the secret, you are not kos.

Using invisible buttons and invisible ladders are already KOS. You're misunderstanding. This means triggering the secret, like doing the steps that include using inivis buttons, platforms, ladders, etc. is KOS, not having the bomb itself. The forum thread also stated using the powers related with these secrets like grab with maggie, invis with dualies, etc. is KOS, not simply having them. It's not as complex as you make it out to be. If you're using the secret as a cosmetic and you didn't get caught-- you're good. If you get caught doing the secret or using the powers related to the secret -- you're KOS. You're overcomplicating it in your own head I think. The way we have it is a balance between having them completely KOS or completely allowed, and the way it's defined is pretty straightforward for what it's worth.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin. This isn't discrimination, the goal of Biden's statement is to actually push forward the opposite. He wants a black woman for the sake of diversity in the Court. Do I fully agree with narrowing your candidates from the start? Not necessarily, but it's also not necessarily a bad thing to aim to bring in a woman of color to the court. As long as whoever is brought in has the merit to back up their selection, I could care less.
