VADM A Reaves

Xbox is a schizophrenic brand these days. Absolutely incoherent and bafflingly inept with a borderline religious dedication to ensuring their own failures. Their skill at shooting themselves in the foot is unparalleled. Unrecognizable from the 360 era. Sad, but unsurprising.

A hole in all our hearts filled.

How much do you know about this universe? I watched this to catch up, might help you too.

You have a set up you like on this armor core? I haven't even started playing to see the options.

Can one of my cyber friends explain to me the threat to US national security posed by TikTok? My limited understanding is the US has been engaged in mass, warrantless surveillance of Americans' communications for decades. Our own gov can spy on us without cause, but China can't?

Just finished it, I like the direction its going. I think they should have wrapped up a little more but we'll see. A movie following this would be cool but an entire trilogy following the original books for Thrawn just doesn't sound plausible for Disney. I'm not exactly sure what all it entails, I know some other folks here read those books but as a fan I think I'm just tired of the same shit.

This was not on my Halo bingo card.

Can't say I am a fan of this Crysis like armor.

I can't give Little Level a reaction but I think its cool to see you on the forum putting up good conversation. This place has really died down since our Halo clan slowed down but its something that had to happen for us to push forward with becoming a better community for me. In the end its recovering by focusing on some core features that I think really make it sustainable for the new audience we want and more people like Little Level who find home here!

As the outbreak of the zombie virus spread rapidly across the country, government institutions, including the presidency, faced unprecedented challenges. In the initial stages, the president likely attempted to maintain control and coordinate a response to the crisis. However, as the situation deteriorated and chaos ensued, communication and infrastructure broke down, making it increasingly difficult for centralized authority to exert influence. The president may have been evacuated to a secure location, such as a bunker or military installation, in an attempt to protect key government figures. However, even these fortified positions would have faced immense pressure from the overwhelming tide of walkers and the breakdown of supply chains. Ultimately, the fate of the president would likely parallel that of many other survivors in the series: a desperate struggle for survival against insurmountable odds. Whether the president succumbed to the walkers, perished in the chaos of societal collapse, or managed to eke out a precarious existence in a harsh and unforgiving world, remains open to interpretation. In the absence of concrete information from the series creators, this speculative scenario reflects the grim and uncertain nature of survival in "The Walking Dead" universe. What do you think happened to the President and other world leaders?

Keeping up with the tradition of showing up once in a blue moon to post the most random-est things. The Raven Rock Mountain Complex (RRMC), also known as Site R, is a U.S. military installation with an underground nuclear bunker near Blue Ridge Summit, Pennsylvania, at Raven Rock Mountain that has been called an "underground Pentagon".[3][4][5]: 2  The bunker has emergency operations centers for the United States Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps. Along with Mount Weather Emergency Operations Center in Virginia and the Cheyenne Mountain Complex in Colorado, it formed the core bunker complexes for the US continuity of government plan during the Cold War to survive a nuclear attack.

I just get my mom flowers, I do want to do more for her and live closer but anything else is probably too expensive for me.

An active-duty member of the U.S. Air Force has died after he set himself on fire outside the Israeli embassy in Washington, D.C., on Sunday, in apparent protest of the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, which he described as a “genocide." Protests have grown worldwide against Israel’s military actions in Gaza as well as against U.S. support for Israel since war broke out after the Oct. 7 assault from Palestinian militant group Hamas that Israeli officials claim killed about 1,200 people. Gaza’s health ministry, overseen by Hamas, has said that Israel’s bombardment of the enclave has in turn killed some 30,000 people. As a serviceman myself I think about the things I can do and how I can help but self-immolation is a completely foreign idea. Self-immolation is a highly controversial and extreme form of protest that raises ethical questions about its effectiveness and consequences. While self-immolation can draw attention to a particular cause or grievance and ignite public outrage, its effectiveness in achieving long-term change is debatable. On one hand, self-immolation has been successful in raising awareness of political oppression, social injustice, and human rights violations. It has sparked mass protests, galvanized international support, and pressured governments to address underlying grievances. Historical examples, such as the self-immolation of Thich Quang Duc during the Vietnam War or Mohamed Bouazizi during the Arab Spring, have had profound impacts on public consciousness and catalyzed significant political movements. On the other hand, self-immolation is a tragic and desperate act that often results in severe injury or death. It can be interpreted as a form of self-sacrifice that draws attention to individual suffering rather than addressing systemic issues. Furthermore, the shock value of self-immolation may overshadow the underlying causes of the protest, leading to superficial or short-lived responses from authorities or the public. Ultimately, the effectiveness of self-immolation as a form of protest depends on various factors, including the context, the grievances being addressed, the visibility of the act, and the broader political and social climate. While self-immolation can attract attention and provoke dialogue, sustainable change often requires concerted efforts from civil society, political leaders, and international actors to address root causes and enact meaningful reforms. In the end I want to see the changes I champion for, but I wanted to bring this here to discuss on the Palestine and Israel conflict but this effectiveness here and if meaningful change will be brought with his sacrifice.

I thank the both of you for your patience and understanding as always, few places let you even discuss politics much less anything of dismay. There also has to be more to say than just that, what did you think was interesting?
