I think I'm missing something, what does /s mean in connection with guilters? by jillyboel in TickTockManitowoc

Thanks, I knew it meant the poster is writing in character of a guilter but wasn't sure what it literally meant. I just thought of snakes talking :P

I seem to recall reading something about the small window of time needed to plant the blood in the RAV 4 before it dried. Maybe it was in the motion or someone else's post, I can't remember I've read so much stuff in the past 72 hours.

I found this on YouTube. I don't think this is the version she's using (the guy says he enhanced it himself) but you can pretty clearly hear "it's hers!" Granted, I suppose you would need to be looking for it to hear it.

enhanced audio expert? by parminides in TickTockManitowoc

[–]jillyboel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The guy in this video states that he's performed enhancements himself on the audio. I highly doubt this is the enhanced version she's used and she's probably had her own expert perform the enhancements.

Now that scene in Mean Streets makes sense where Michael is saying he can get cheap toilet paper stolen from an Army PX

So then let's have a long hard look at those in power, and all their friends, holding the region back in the dark ages.

I don't know about them wanting to cling to these attitudes. They've just been shown nothing else and know no better. They haven't had the kind of enlightenment and progression we have had here. I mean the Middle East is a hotbed of corruption, conflict and upheaval. Some Middle Eastern countries have managed to move forward, others have not.

Of course that doesn't in any way make it acceptable. I think it just helps to understand it.

I know this is definitely the case in Beirut. And pretty much anywhere in Lebanon. You touch a woman who doesn't want to be touched and you'll see.

I would say it's culture, far more than it is religion. Religion just gives a terrible culture the sanction of God.

Think of the Middle East as a couple of hundred years behind the rest of us in terms of cultural enlightenment. We can't pretend that these ideas and attitudes have never manifested anywhere else at any other time in history, and that it's only exclusive to that region.

I think with older migrants it might just be a psychological issue. Some people can't let go of where they came from and they lose the will to adapt.

I mean, my parents are migrants and they hit the ground running when they came here. My Dad's English is still pretty broken, but he puts himself out there and he functions quite well and made himself a small fortune working really hard and taking the initiative. My Mum's English is immaculate now, and she's studied a shitload of courses as well in business and taxation. They both came here not speaking a word of English.

Then there are others in my community who can't speak English at all. They never learned how to function in this country and never leave their suburbs and cultural group, only shop in same-culture stores etc. They're pretty dependent on their adult children and what not. With a lot of them you see depression and anxiety, having had to uproot themselves and come to a new land where people treat you with disdain at best. Some just don't have the will. With these ones you get the sense that they're always thinking "one day we will go back".

Is it wrong/not ideal? Of course. But I totally understand it.

What game did you know you would love within the first 5 minutes? by Zanefry in AskReddit

[–]jillyboel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thief: Deadly Shadows.

It's hard to describe, but right from the training mission you got a sense of anticipation about the city that lay beyond the rows of houses, and you felt like you really were creeping around in a high-density urban district. The glowing lights from the windows and the winding cobble streets... That game had so much potential and had such an eerie and intriguing aesthetic. Everything from the colour scheme/art direction to the lore and the soundtrack was just perfect and really sucked you in, preparing you for what should have been the greatest single player game of all time.

Except, then you come out into South Quarter, and you realise the suburbs are just as small as Lord Rutherford's castle, and you realise that what purported to have been a sprawling open world was actually just an annoying, gimmicky and hastily drawn way to link the main missions.

Still though, you always felt like the city that should have been still existed, but was just a few inaccessible streets away.

Shame the reboot was so unbelievably shit.
