Why are you surprised, 3 is amazing!

3 is shit on and seen as the punching bag because from an overarching story they dropped the ball hard with Desmond’s story line.

The actual game though is one of the better stories (after AC: 2) Ubisoft ever pulled off.

2, 3, IV and Origin/Odyssey are the only times I would say Ubisoft actually tried to do something unique outside of simply pumping yearly releases with marginal engine changes.

Wait, are you telling me the Bible is contradictory?!?

I’m not telling you anything, I simply quoted it. Read the passages.

If you see a contradiction then that’s what your brain is telling yourself.

Or are you going to argue that according to the Bible, it’s other Christians who are actually the ones who are meant to judge?

I’m not going to argue anything. I’m simply going to quote the Bible again.

But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister[c] but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people.

What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked person from among you.”

-Corinthians 5:11-13

They are whether you like that or not.

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven."

-Matthew 7:21

Pretty sure your savior had a lot to say about judging others.

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves."

-Matthew 7:15

If someone sends me a one word reply of “yes” to “what is the purpose of this meeting and is my presence beneficial” then it wouldn’t matter what I asked lol.

lol

But just to reiterate the point I was making earlier, the idea is to avoid someone responding to “what is the purpose of this meeting and is my presence beneficial” with something along the lines of “the purpose is to discuss X, Y, and Z. Yes your input would be a big help thanks.”

Curious on your thoughts on the suggestion I made and whether it improves communication or not?

If you ask the person who invited you to a meeting “is my presence beneficial” they’re going to answer “yes”. That’s why they invited you.

The purpose is to figure out whether your presence is actually needed, not whether they think it is.

I do like a lot of your ideas though, I might suggest:

“What is this meeting about? I’m trying to figure out if my presence would be beneficial.”

That way you are the determinant of whether your presence is necessary, and the other person has to articulate what the actual benefit would be as opposed to just saying “yes”.

Alright fair you are old. Just not because of COD WWII lmao.

COD WWII is my favorite multiplayer ever.

Yes I’m old.

Your favorite game is the fourteenth entry in the franchise. Calm down with the “old” lmfao.

The guns exist out there and the protesters exist out there. You’d just need some mobilizing incident to spark them not to leave the guns they already own at home next time.

It seems an easier solved problem than you let on.

This is the plot of Click

Absolutely. Though, understanding him is a different question than voting for him.

I’m not as critical of his term as president because I don’t think anyone really voted for him as president. He was the Trump blocker.

I never expected him to be a competent or good president so I never put that expectation on him.

His purpose was to be a transitionary president, keep Trump out of office for those 4 years while he spotlights and elevates the profile of exciting young democrats and guides the discussion towards hope and excitement in the upcoming primary, where a popular progressive candidate could spark a nationwide discussion and get everyone excited about the democrats for 8 more years.

It seemed like everyone understood this when he was elected. I don’t know what happened. I don’t know if it was Biden’s ego, or if his handlers manipulated him to keep a job, but his decision to run again was the utmost betrayal of democracy, singlehandedly decimated any possible democratic victory, and destroyed any chance of a positive legacy.

All he had to do was just go away and his legacy would have been secure.

You cant just keep spinning up new churches to suit your ideal version of god and expect credulity.

You literally set the criteria as “the heaven Biden believes in”. You’re just arguing with yourself.

The heaven Biden believes in:

“Forgive me father for I have sinned, I drone striked an entire region in the middle east to massive amounts of collateral damage and sent billions of dollars in weapons to Israel to be used against Palestinians.”

“Say 3 Hail Marys and one Our Father and you are forgiven.”

That’s fine. But then don’t pretend you have an issue with entitlement or hypocracy.

Don’t like the price a company is asking for for an entirely optional commodity? Don’t fucking pay it. It’s not that hard.

Don’t like the discussion a community is having for an entirely opinionated topic? Don’t fucking comment. It’s not that hard.

There is a problem with a lot of the people that practice polygamy in an unethical way

That is what the person you responded to said. There is a problem with the cultural of polygamy here because it’s done in an unethical way.

but not polygamy itself.

That is also what the person you replied to said. They clarified specifically that if both genders are free to practice polygamy in the same way there’s no issue.

If you’re talking OpenEvolve you have to specific put in the tests and expected values for each function for this approach to work.

That’s a conversation you might want to have with the original commenter.

If you follow up the comment chain I was trying to help clarify their comment for the thread because I think OP is criticizing what Russia said and not Reuters as a source, yet the latter is being focused on in this thread.

That’s fair to be confused! Every “side” is telling you to read their sources and dismiss everyone else’s but the list changes depending on who you talk to.

I would say to start, probably don’t arbitrarily dismiss sources. I dont think thats worthwhile advice not to hear people out.

If a lot of people are trying to keep you from looking at something, I would say it’s probably important to go get the real story for yourself instead of vibing it out from a billion different opinions.

Instead, move closer to the source. In that case, like in this Reuters article, Reuters can be removed from the story.

We could go direct to the transcription of Medinsky’s full statement.

Try to read what others are saying and really try to hear them for what they’re actually meaning to say.

Did you click on the Reuters article you’re talking about?

Russia says Ukraine postpones prisoner exchange, accepting bodies

Ukraine has unexpectedly postponed exchanging prisoners of war and accepting the bodies of killed soldiers for an indefinite period, Kremlin aide Vladimir Medinsky said on Saturday.

It’s the Kremlin aide that they’re calling the propaganda.

Reuters just quoted the Kremlin.
