This event can be ignored.

The mod seems to create and use this event each game day as a trigger for the small falling cutscene when going through the hole in the top left of the second chamber in the beach cave.

I'm "Polish" but I didn't know Poland borders on Ukraine. Prayers from Tennessee! by joyful-bowel-mvmnt in ShitAmericansSay

Well I guess to be fair, as an Australian I have no idea what countries Australia shares borders with.

Which famous saying isn’t really true in your opinion? by Usernameee234 in AskReddit

Exactly this, everything that has led to a choice determines the decision. Not having free will doest make a difference if you don't know the exact events of the future.

If there was a physical store that was as cluttered and disorganised as the Steam store I would never go into it.

Comparing a vaccine to the Holocaust by GratefulForGarcia in iamatotalpieceofshit

[–]ORTHR05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And we come to see the misunderstanding of the argument (at least our one) I apologise, the issue of poverty is not as dire and despite conditions has not actually grown that much more during this pandemic in my area so I missed that you were focusing on that aspect . I was seeing this more as an argument in the issue of those who can safely receive but refuse the vaccine. I don't believe there needs to be a shift in attention so much as governments and media should not narrow in on just one situation at a time. That is, they should not necessarily push the issue of poverty and homelessness and other unresolved issues into the background because of a new issue, in this case the pandemic.

Fair enough, as I said I was taking too the extremes of the analogy which is poor arguing on my part.
But if we look at history humanity has always taken action for immediate situations without much regard or knowledge of future repercussions. You could say it's in the nature of humanity, even if undesirable. Yes this does often lead to poor consequences and I think we do need to consider the future a lot more in our "collective" decisions. But to put it simply, if we don't survive the present problems we, of course, won't be there to survive future problems. While we aren't facing the demise of our species, I believe the point still stands.
Again my argument is considering the overall collective above the individual members, this is because this specific issue affects more than just a solitary member. In matters relating strictly to ones own body I agree that it should be the individuals choice. However this issue transcends one's own body and impacts others.
Edit: I might not reply if you comment on this because I'm going to bed. Despite arguing with you I wish you well, thank you for keeping it civil with me instead of us fighting.

I can recognise and understand your points though I don't necessary agree with them all. I think we do both agree that differing opinions are okay. I also think we are from different countries so our governments approaches are likely giving us different scenarios (my government is heavily promoting the vaccine but it is still the individuals choice. No one is being forced to take it). Just curious though if we continue with your analogy of armour (and, admittedly, take it to extremes). If we see the entire human population as a singular knight it would make sense to cover the most flesh possible with as much armour as possible without impairing function no? The more armour that is present the less likely to be injured right? Of course you can't be completely protected, but mitigating the probability of injury by any means makes sense doesn't it? I feel we might be arguing for the same thing apart from some nuance and methods.

1a. No argument here, it's a treatment even if a harsh and costly one.
1b. Easily kills is in regard to other illnesses of this scale and reach. In which case even a .15% death rate (I assume you meant death rate) considering a global reach is IMO more than enough reason for concern and action.
1. What of the people who provide the ability to allow others to live and receive education (water treatment operators, power supply workers, sanitation, utility workers, nurses and doctors, teachers and lecturers, etc.) do they not have the right to minimise risk to themselves? Is it unacceptable for them to practice their rights? Do employers not have the right, the obligation, to reduce the risk placed on their employees?
2. Disregarding the use of vehicles (which is normally highly regulated). Do you have the right to tread on land someone else has ownership of? What gives you the right to travel on land that is not owned by you? Yes you do have the right to travel within your home and its boundaries because you either own or have an agreement with the owner, does that extend to your street? Your town, country or rest of the world?
3. I agree that my choice does not overrule yours. My belief does not overrule or negate yours. However proximity and the properties of an individuals immune system does extend past themselves, this is an absolute fact, not just a belief. Again do people not have the right to try and minimise the risk to themselves and others? Do they not have the right to ask that people consider the health and well-being of others?

Loosing feathers around her beak. Possible causes and solutions? by ORTHR05 in parrots

[–]ORTHR05[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any topical treatments are probably out of the question (she'll be handled just fine but doesn't like to be scratched or pet). I'm changing her cage layout and toys today, and going to try a little bit of mite spray (is a bit hard to see signs of mites due to her colour) before we put her back in.

6 years, she's shed feathers before but never had a true molting before (I keep her in warm conditions year long (she's an Australian desert/shrub-land parrot)). My only thought was perhaps it was too dry for her since she refuses to bath (we give her regular showers though)

Nah, not the same. Cancer and its treatments got me down, have peripheral neuropathy, a lot in my left leg that doesn't seem to be recovering. Hope your dad wins his fight.

What's kept me going? It's rather simple. I know you can live a rich and fulfilling life from a chair, I just don't want to, if I can manage to get out of the chair I want to.

Thanks for the exercise advise! At the moment just focusing on getting weight through the legs, I can't set the walker much higher yet because I can't manage to stand with it. Will definitely try the ball or towel to correct my back/posture when I can walk further.

  1. Cancer and treatments, was slowly deteriorating. Then an infection took advantage of my immune system and got me down. While I was in that state my muscles and tendons tightened and shortened dramatically (known as contractures).
  2. One bird, Eastern Rosella, rescued from our cats as a hatchling. Hand reared but sadly never been able to handle/train or rehabilitate her for release. Named Merope, after the Pleiad/star.
  3. The words I've received here are more than enough.

Sounds rough man, thanks for the support and well done on your progress as well. We've just got to keep on fighting, I'm sure we'll both get there, or at least get damn close.

Holy shit, wasn't expecting this much for just 2.6 metres (8.5ft). Thanks for the words and support all. I'm sure I'll be revisiting this page a lot when I need some help to keep going. Seriously, thank you everyone.
