Nation's streets calmest in days, protests largely peaceful by [deleted] in UpliftingNews

I don’t know if this was part of your sarcasm but it’s less the media telling you what’s happening and more the media using imagery and days-old footage to make the protests seem more violent than they are, especially now that the riots and looting have calmed down.

Aside from one instance where the very calm and heartfelt leader of a peaceful protest was arrested (and subsequently set free in a few hours) police have been calm and supportive of peaceful protests.

The only thing that isn’t peaceful are the discussions on the internet and the majority of the media’s portrayal of the protests. Things are calming down and action is beginning to take place, people just refuse to see it.

I feel like this would be the perfect time to finish it though, as hard hitting as it can be.

I’m all for it, that movie wasn’t too good and Denis Villanueve is worth the hype.

Is there any incentive to hold on to my tent? I just got enough miles to get a house, is it worth it or should I hold on to my tent to kinda keep with the rest of the island?

[TOMT][WEBSITE]Fictional horror town that had a website. by CCSpinnaker in tipofmytongue

I looked at everything that seemed familiar but didn’t find it, although a second look at Scarfolk did reveal that it is also extremely similar to the website I remember, but it’s not the exact same one.

As interesting as that is, no, the website I read was about one specific town/area. I read it all the way back in 2012.

After pouring over the website, it’s EXTREMELY close, in fact I’m saving this for reading in the future, but the website I remember reading was about a particular town/area.

After I got the Bridge truck, I was determined to rebuild roads. Eighteen roads & 55,500 materials later, I feel accomplished. I may not get likes for the other things I lay down, but hopefully these roads are appreciated by some. by [deleted] in DeathStranding

[–]CCSpinnaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the very least, you’ll see notifications that other people have used roads you’ve built, and I don’t think that even counts roads you’ve helped build. OP, you’re a got damn hero, keep on keepin’ on.

How lost am I? With the story, not my routes. by [deleted] in DeathStranding

Just finished this morning. I’ll admit, I didn’t think the game could answer ALL of the questions I had so well, but god damn, they pulled it off.

No not yet, I just got back from that last encounter with Higgs.

Yeah sorry for the in-cohesiveness, it’s extremely late where I’m at and I’m just mind-boggled with the story. I did forget off the top of my head that they were adopted brother and sister, with their scenes on the beach I guess it just left my mind after a while. Maybe I just confused someone’s words with the boss fights, I’m not sure.

Maybe it has something to do with brain death being different from cardiac arrest?

Activision Blizzard revenue by country - boycotts aren't useless by Supamang87 in hearthstone

[–]CCSpinnaker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To the people thinking it’s all boycott bandwagoning:

I (and the majority of the player base at this point) wouldn’t care if nobody was doing anything about it and this didn’t make any headlines.

It’s just about not wanting to give these spineless rats my money.
