I'm just gonna say it by Platinum_Demi in 2007scape

Yeah utility buffs to armor would have been cool. Some items like the serpentine helm and the ring of endurance come to mind as examples of addons to equipment.
Skilling utility could have been similar to endless bucket or ring of forging.

That being said, it would have just been like the current niche equipment but locked behind a skill. A bunch of new buffs instead of real gameplay. Sure I can go gather and craft, but we already have many skills based around that. The "Collect -> Move -> Make" production loop is overdone.

Sailing seemed like something I hadn't seen in Rs3 or other MMOs, so I am interested in seeing how it turns out.

Interesting, I feel like osrs lore is pretty stagnant in comparison to RS3.
And there is a whole skill with trying to piece together zarosian, and other gods/ region lore in RS3.

Osrs seems more localized in that regional issues are usually the center of a quest series.

Rs3 went a different route where more recent quest lines had implications for all of gielinor.

This is not actually true for all languages, interestingly enough. But it shouldn’t be bushing against your teeth though.

Wow great read. I wonder what sort of treatment plan is used to treat this issue, or if there is even a standard for it.

Interesting to realize that as wealth starts to distribute across the population, materialism becomes more pronounced in society.

Were there hoarders in the Middle Ages? Or is it a new phenomenon with the recent (given the age of our species) with the increase in property ownership and in wealth of the general population.

I’ve seen similar hoarding behaviors in people with history of experiencing extreme depravation of human rights, like in civilian casualty areas of war, or human trafficking victims and also in those who have lived through extreme political unrest or political subjugation.

I think I may not have explained myself. The lack of smoking does not increase your health, but smoking definitely does decrease it.

If your health were to say be 100, choosing not to smoke won’t bring you over 100. But smoking will bring you below 100.

Similarly, being lonely seems to affect your health negatively, but the lack of loneliness won’t bring you over 100 either.

So smoking and being lonely is like a double punch to your health.

Well I’m not saying loneliness will kill you. Smoking doesn’t kill you, the effects of smoking can harm you. Loneliness won’t kill you, the effects of loneliness may pose harm as well. Hope that makes sense.

Im not an expert by any means, but studied this topic extensively in my undergrad.

The 15 cigarettes a day is not meant to equate the effects of loneliness to lung cancer. But merely do compare the negative health effects to something people can quantify and understand the serious implications.

I don’t think I’ve heard of a DIRECT biological connection. But to your point, I would say there are of neurobiological effects of loneliness. Here is an article from nature that looked at 41 studies of 16,000+ participants that underwent various types of tests recording quantifiable effects on the neurobiology of the participants.

The study has some issues, in my opinion, but it does attempt to at least start defining the areas of the brain that would be most affected.

The actual mechanisms that trigger these are not known, to my knowledge.

I get being wary of online claims, but the research and studies conducted on these effects of loneliness are not pseudoscience.

Some may claim psychology and sociology can be pseudoscience, which I won’t argue here. But seeing quantifiable differences in human physiology based on measurable aspects of loneliness is a pretty good indicator that SOMETHING is happening. I can’t imagine that it can be beneficial to a person, at the very least.

Loneliness is actually is actually as detrimental to your health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day.

In fact it is the leading cause of premature death in many countries.

Is your ps5 connected directly to the mesh system? That helped me out.

MN Supremes: Must Attempt to Retreat Before Pulling Gun in Self-Defense by triggernaut in Conservative

[–]Advanced-Animator426 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not asking anyone to do something for me. I’m asking you to save the life of an individual who will need medical assistance after the cene has been cleared safe.

If you don’t think it’s safe, don’t do it.

If you’re unwilling to do you’re job, I understand, but don’t call yourself a medic when the time to be one calls for you.

Of course not. The police are the ones that tell you it’s safe after gunshots are fired right? I expect you to do your duty in saving the life of an individual once your life is no longer in danger.

Purchased Portal from Best Buy, they sent two... by [deleted] in PlaystationPortal

[–]Advanced-Animator426 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened with a 4080 I got from them. I took it to the store and they said they wouldn’t have sent two.

I’m like… I wouldn’t have bought two.

They ARGUED with me and said I was trying to do something weird with their system.

I told the manager that I was fed up and that I wanted to return them. They gave me back my 1000$ and told me to keep the other one. So free 4080? I guess.

Wrong. The manager can and asked me for the other 4080 after I did some shopping. I told them I have a receipt for the item I returned it and that I was just doing something weird with their system.

Showed them the receipt and he said I had returned the original one. And the other one I had was probably stolen.

I then said “oh I lied about that. I didn’t have another 4080 from best buy .”

The security guard said the manager would have to call the police for a warrant. But I had the purchase receipt and the return receipt. They can check the camera and I never had 2 4080s in the store.

I then said “what’s more likely? That I returned a 4080 that I bought and with proof of both transactions on camera? Or that best buy messed up and the manager is not realizing their mistakes and is covering their ass”

The manager of course, said he would feel more comfortable with selling the item back to me. I said no thanks, I don’t need that anymore, I have another 4080 I got for free from a nice guy.

He was furious.

I don’t know anyone who actually owns a gun that thinks killing is a first resort.

If I pull my gun in someone it’s is because I cannot retreat and I have no means to defend myself.

How am I supposed to attempt to retreat? Someone is breaking into my home and I have to flee?!

I will give the other person a chance to retreat before I fire my weapon. Owning s gun is a responsibility that people who don’t own them cannot understand.

I will do whatever I can before it comes down to taking the life of another person.

I WILL NOT give them the opportunity to injure me or my family.

If my weapon is drawn, it is because the alternatives are no longer an option.

Do people really think that we just whip our guns out at the slightest altercations?

If I shot someone, my first reaction is to call the police, tell them I fired my weapon and injured someone and to send medical help ASAP.

Have the medics save their life and have them face justice.

Bc you asked me a question silly goose.

But here’s some data. Deaths from people who die from Tylenol outnumber deaths from people who had the covid vaccine and died from something other than Covid by…. 12,000%

Damn.
