They’re called public schools because anyone could attend them as long as they paid the cost. They were the alternative to private schools which were for nobles or religious training etc that you couldn’t buy in to. Comprehensive schools, free schools for anyone, came a lot later.

Plan the activity with a smaller group than you would want initially. Then invite others to an already organized event and rely on fomo to get people to go. Works great.

I focus for 15 minutes as I don’t have time for 4 hours, but then they end and I realize I’ve lost another day.

Honestly, I think the bank job at the beginning of the game as part of the story being removed could fix a lot. Nothing makes sense when the plot revolves around making more money and you have so much you never have to worry about it. I thought I accidentally found an exploit or something.

But there’s so many strange ideas. Like you reach st. Denis and are able to buy fancy clothes, but your character looks like shit at this point which ruins the whole thing. Who thought that was a good idea?

The whole game is a confusing mess.

Fundamentally, the game acts like it’s a huge open world game where you live a cowboy, but in reality the whole thing funnels you into a boring and annoying story.

Hours of tutorials on all the things you can do in the game, but while you’re playing you can’t be bothered to sit through the same skinning, cooking, hunting, tracking crap over and over when baked beans do the job better.

This pretty much sums the whole game up, you have so much money from the first storyline bank job, you never need to do a single side quest and all the features are repetitive busy work so they’re not worth doing on their own merit.

The morality system is pointless when the character’s arc is completely set by the story other than the last 1 decision which makes any difference at all.

Nothing in the game is difficult, so just using the same tactics of revolver or rifle solves literally everything. Or the pre mentioned baked beans if you actually need a heal at any point.

The whole thing feels like too many ideas that don’t work together.

Rdr2 sucks anyway, it’s the Avatar of videogames.

It’s okay. 2 was a little rough. 3 was really fun. 4 had some great moments but a bit of a letdown. Worth a binge, but doesn’t live up to season 1.

The sequel was completely inevitable. You could argue it was all because of one person, but that person appearing was basically predetermined.

And cool sticks

If you have literally no experience at all, I’d pick and choose some great standalone episodes to get started with.

Some ideas: TOS: Balance of terror/Space seed. TNG: Drumhead/Darmok. DS9: The House of Quark/Trials and tribulations (harder to find good standalone episodes as so many of the best are part of the main plot. VOY: Eye of the Needle/The Void.

The 2 parter DS9 and voyager opening episodes are both also pretty good places to start.

Well, you seen what the Scottish eat?

Is the sudden personality change as drastic as it reads?

Sudden switches like that could be a sign of a serious medical condition, mid 20s is I believe a common age for these things to kick in too.

I’d talk to the brother about it coming from an angle of concern.

Urgh, it’s going that way in London too.

Apparently, Tolkien’s dwarven language just naturally works well with a Scottish accent. Earlier radio, tv, readings leant into this and other writings including fantasy dwarves followed suit.

Not defending or excusing this dip shit at all. But this was 7 years ago when he said this. The world was pretty different 7 years ago.

Yeah, scanned about 75% of the article for anything interesting before I came to the same conclusion.

Been running only Linux for 3 years and the only time I couldn’t get a game to work was trying to play some 15 year old RTS games cross platform with friends.

Well, I think it comes down to a fundamental belief on consciousness. If you’re non religious, you probably think that consciousness is a purely biological and understandable process. This is complete understandable and should be replicable. Therefore, artificial intelligence. But it’s hard as dong to do well.

What did they give to vegan torturees?
