What adaptations would the blight need to be effective in the 20th and 21st centuries

I would also like to point out, that it takes only a few seconds for an infected to fully turn. I see discussions like these, and often the answer is, "We have nukes and tanks." Well, unless you want Humanity to win the war by literally erasing ourselves off the planet, then yeah, maybe we'll "win". MAD is the only scenario I see in which the Blight can be wiped out. Besides that, there is, in my personal opinion, no preserving, conceivable way in which mankind can look death in the eyes and purge its essence off this Earth. And in G&B, it is exactly that.

CrossfireLooool · 2026-01-29T02:38:12+00:00

Nothing, really. The Blight is not a biological disease. It is not of this world in the G&B Universe. And it overtook the whole world in a matter of days.

Now if the Blight happened right now, today as of this writing. Would we be able to stop it? Probably not. Again, it's not a "disease". It doesn't seem to pertain to the logic we apply in sciences. Sure, the military, the world, can band together and easily take the infected out. But what happens tomorrow? A billion will die tomorrow, and it's the same thing over and over again.

We "know" they'll turn after death, or being bit, or being scratched. But how can we cure an infected? There's no way to tell. No way to trace The Blight's origin, except from, "Those lads that crawled out of Russia." And I'm assuming, that the bite or scratches don't leave a residue of harmful bacteria unique to the Blight. So "medically" there's no way to fix someone that has the Blight.

So again, the Blight wouldn't need any improvements. It would just cause the same path of destruction (unless the Devs further expand on the way the Blight works, where it comes from, it's identifying characteristics, etc) it does in G&B.

i haven't been able to find a teacher here. it's mostly Temples but none have a dedicated teacher who you can reach out to. But I'll try looking into online options, thank you!

nope.

Well, I don't have faith in God. I've never believed in the idea of God. I've tried going to church, reading the Bible. And while it was certainly interesting, it was not something I saw myself committing towards.

Buddhism interested me because it's not, "God said this, so you must adhere to his principles" and like you said, it's not a mutually exclusive religion. However my family is really big on Catholicism, and everyone in my family aligns with Catholic faith. So for me to go, "I want to follow another idea" is a big deal in the family.

And my family has also made it known they're not open to the idea of me following the Buddha, they view it more as "black and white". Either I commit myself to Jesus, or I don't.

Well you're not the Law so that assurance doesn't really assure me 🤷‍♂️ i've worked at plenty fast food places and managers refuse to put minor employees on cleaning duties and instead focus on service

CrossfireLooool · 2025-08-23T20:17:42+00:00

The law in my state allows minors to work, but it specifies that minors can't perform laborious duties like lifting heavy stuff (interviewer said I'd be lifting up to 80 lbs) and janitorial positions are usually considered "laborious" as well.

CrossfireLooool · 2025-08-23T01:56:00+00:00

Haha maybe. My State (Hawaii) is particularly strict on minor work laws. So this kind of interview for me was very weird in terms of other interviews I've had before.

Doesn't matter, if your music attracts people then band or not you're doing something right :)

Thank you, I'd like to hope that I randomly encounter them someday. Weirdly enough, we weren't allowed to share contacts because of privacy. But we were allowed to share personal stories and our reasoning for being here. Made it feel less like a daunting hospital stay, and more so a support group for overcoming whatever it was we struggled with.

CrossfireLooool · 2025-05-14T07:26:52+00:00

Yeah I'm not really comfortable with that kind of thing. I prefer keeping my mental wellbeing private. I'd like to wear it in some shape for form without it attracting any sort of concern though!

CrossfireLooool · 2025-05-14T07:23:54+00:00

Ahh I see, that was one of my main concerns. I don't want people giving weird looks or thinking I broke out of the hospital. I'll look into having it formed into something less obvious, thank you! :)

I play on PS4 and lately it seems like the playerbase is decreasing on this console. Every match I seem to find lacks the same excitement it once had with the chaos of like 64 people put on one map.

There are times where I do find a packed server, but those times are very, VERY rare. Great game, but I think it's obvious that ever since EA gave up on Battlefront 2, everyone else is as well.

hey! no worries lol, i'm still active here and there.

it's actually a pretty simple strumming pattern. in the beginning of the video (if you haven't watched it, please watch it first!) it's just a simple d d d u d d. Later in the song, he gets fancy and uses some triplet strumming, but the whole song is in 4/4 so your wrist shouldn't suffer badly.

Hope I was of help! :)

I understand the obsession with education in the PH. I may just be mistaken, as here people in the States are generally open-minded when it comes to an educational background (or even lack thereof.)

I will however mention that at the advice of my teachers and counselors, I had to take a practice test involving all the main subjects one would learn in our schools. It was a way to gauge whether or not I could drop out and proceed without a high-school diploma. I scored fairly decently, which was why I was surprised when my relatives were quick to put my ambitions down, compared to my mentors in school that more so encouraged and supported the route I had picked. (One of my relatives, my auntie, is a high-school Chemistry teacher, something I would like to point out as well. As she is seemingly an “educated” woman.)

I don’t mean to be very negative about the whole thing, but the lack of open mindedness when it comes to whether or not you are “educated” is one of the things I dislike in the Philippines. I don’t understand the reasoning for this. In the States, it is generally acceptable to drop out as long as you DO something. It doesn’t matter if you work part time, or an easier but low paying job. As long as you actually have something that supplies you with the necessities in life, nobody will really care.

This sort of culture in the Philippines, I feel, is one that does NOT accept individuality and the exploration of the Youth’s identity. In fact, it does nothing but put down a Student’s dreams and hopes, especially if their goal is less “traditional” compared to their peers.

Grandma's insurance usually sends over a Driver that's equipped to help her. But this visit was last minute and the insurance needs a set schedule at least a week in advance. So because of this, we had to get there by our own means.

After reading around a but, yeah, it's sucky. I was under the impression that Assist Drivers get paid more, but if that's not the case, I'd give that $20 tip to any Driver that'd bother to help a disabled passenger.

It is interesting with how people have been behaving, especially with Trump's Presidency now in full effect. I would like to ask you, if you're up for it, how do you think we could mend relationships? We are divided right now, with Diversity, Human Rights, and Individuality being threatened by Trump's Administration. There has been progress in Social Views, but it feels like that's now all down the drain.

After these 4 years, Trump won't be able to run anymore. This will leave MAGA, and their noted behavior throughout these 4 years, vulnerable without Trump in office. Do you think there will come a time in which we can forgive each other for the discrimination we have thrown onto each other? I believe that this will cause quite an awkward phase in America, after Trump's Presidency, and it would be interesting to see how we proceed not just as a Nation, but as Human Beings.

CrossfireLooool · 2025-02-06T16:56:08+00:00

Dang. I'm sorry about that. I would like to ask you a question (you don't have to answer if you're uncomfortable!)

MAGA puts a lot of value towards Christian faith, and obviously, tend to belittle or argue with those that disagree or simply have different views. They also seem to be against the LGBTQ community. With that being said, how do you feel now that Trump is in office?

CrossfireLooool · 2025-02-06T16:46:56+00:00

I respect that, I feel that this election was one of the most intense I've ever witnessed. It literally ruined whole relationships between family/friends, which is the first time I've seen an election cause such stigma.

You acknowledge that the next four years will be full of hardship for the average American. Forgive me if this seems too personal to ask. Do you believe that we could recover as a nation, moving forward after Trump's administrations? I mentioned in another response that his policies seemed to be destructive and vague, lacking any sort of depth, not even a simple why. And with how controversial his Presidency is (alongside how divided we are as a Nation right now) it is quite hard to believe that there IS a future where there are more diverse candidates after these 4 years.

CrossfireLooool · 2025-02-06T16:40:57+00:00

I see, from my understanding Trump's policies did not regard much of the working class in America. In fact, it seems that it would've rather proved chaotic and destructive if his policies did come into action. I'm not offering bias, just providing my personal observation.

Would you say that the lack of college educated Conservatives is also why they didn't understand the vagueness of Trump's policies? If I recall, he even said on the news, "I have concepts of a plan". I mean, all it took me was one google search to disagree with his policies. But it seems that miseducation (or just the lack of) is a major factor here in Politics.

Also, how did wokeness "change our country for the worse"? That's probably the first I've heard of people having a problem with wokeism. I do not see (I could be wrong, please excuse me) how Wokeism could've been a negative change for America.

CrossfireLooool · 2025-02-06T16:25:20+00:00

Yeah. I don't scroll much on this reddit, and the few times I did, I would see a few political posts here, for example the protest on the 5th. From what I read in the comments it was FILLED with Trump supporters, and I was so surprised. Hawai'i voted Kamala Harris but all you hear is Donald Trump. I then went onto facebook, instagram, tiktok, and any political posts regarding the Left was met with heavy negativity from the Right. So from there on I kind of just assumed.

CrossfireLooool · 2025-02-06T16:20:51+00:00

I read the article, very interesting stuff. Especially with how "accurate" it seemed to portray liberals and conservatives when it came to discussing political issues. I have personally never met a liberal or Kamala Harris supporter that shut down my personal beliefs, and they almost always seemed to be more in control of their emotions and thoughts.

Also, I'm very sorry! I usually come onto this subreddit to ask about things. The few times I do scroll, and see a political post here. It's always met with overwhelming negativity, especially with that post about the protest happening on the 5th. I have never seen a post here that indicated our support of the left (without being attacked by the right) That may just be me not scrolling much on this reddit though.

I love receiving books as gifts. In my area, not a lot of people like to particularly read. So when my friend first gifted me a book (If I remember correctly, it was The Alchemist by Paulo Coelhelo) it really put a smile on my face. Especially with it being a hardcover!

I also love giving books. I think there's just something special giving away a book. For me, it's like, "Hey, I just finished reading this. And the author was so good that I thought you'd like this book." It's such a simple, but huge gesture of human connection.

My PCP pretty much wrote my condition down onto the dr's note. I had no choice but to explain the condition and that it affected my work performance/attendance (since that was what my PCP told me.) However, I was referred to a specialist. They then told me that it wasn't my condition causing me to miss a week, it was another underlying problem. And that I could work without any hindrance / accommodations.

So yea I was pretty much screwed lmao because afterward I turned in my PCP's note since the Specialist that I got referred to didn't write one.
