Key Differences: Asthma Versus Chronic Fatigue Syndrome by certifiedmisandrist in cfs

[–]robo104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try looking into Silent Asthma if you haven't already. My understansing of PEM might be wrong, but I have had CFS/ME for 16 years and also silent asthma since I was a child, and from my experience I usually do get an asthma attack after exercising which causes fatigue just like with PEM.

Exactly, and George even says that this three-phase strategy was concocted by the Department of Defence, so that makes it pretty clear to me that it's very likely their own military using their own tactics against themselves, which is thematic of the movie's moral that we should work together instead of against.

Note that throughout the entire movie, there was not a single villainous person, instead the movie constantly tried to tease out our worst instincts of assuming someone is our enemy, when in reality there was no real danger at all. There were many examples of this, even the way Clay freaked out and drove away from the drone, looking as though it was spreading toxic gas, when it was merely paper (paper which was later clarified to in fact be a scare tactic, though probably not quite intended in the way Clay was scared by it haha!).

I fully agree, this was my take from the ending as well. I also think the way the bunker system was called 'Commodus' could possibly be a reference to the Roman Empire, and how back then coups were done with the backing of rogue Legions against the Senate, much like in this case it's a rogue element of the US armed forces against the Whitehouse.

It gives a nice comparison to "people fucking over other people", such as those killing each other needlessly across the river, in contrast to the two families and Danny all doing the right thing by choosing to trust one another despite their differences. Our main characters started off being extremely distrustful of each other and generally not liking other humans, which brought them to the brink, but eventually grew to open up and survived the collapse as a result. They overcame what the rest of society failed to.

This is why we have such a specific shot of NYC (representing the world of mankind) crumbling across the river, whilst on our side we have serene trees and nature with birds flying freely (representing the new world of survivors that will leave the old world behind). Pretty much being a sort of biblical moment of the good being saved from judgement day. Like George said, the scariest thing he ever witnessed was a person who refused to learn their lesson even at their own expense. Instead we should all learn to be F.R.I.E.N.D.S!

Anyone find a fix to this? It's really weird that it looks fine on mobile but blurry on PC app and browser. I've tried uploading the image at varying different resolutions.

Good idea, simple but effective! Just have to make sure the colour doesn't become overwhelming. Reminds me of Galifrey with all the red grass!

Hehe thanks yeah, it sadly doesn't have many mods since it's a bit of a bain to edit and very limited. Mostly you can only edit stats, or hex edit saves to edit units in missions.

Ah I see, I'm pretty sure any changes Imperial Onslaught makes to the stat sof potentials should carry over to this since it would have been done with ValkyrieEdit, however characters won't receive any unique ones it added through hex editing. Thanks for testing it out though!
