It wasn't just 'for some reason' it was strategic. I wouldn't expect Trump to get it, but I'd hope a random person on the internet would have more sense than the President.

Providing vaccines to third world countries acted as a level of prevention by keeping these diseases from spreading to our country or our trading partners.

More pragmatically, providing this service allowed the US to push their influence on other countries too. Whether through providing aid, or threatening to withhold aid, this service acts as a tool for the US government to maintain their superiority on the world stage.

Also, from a more fucked up perspective, keeping a healthy population of third world people is crucial to the exploitative nature of capitalism and its nonstop growth.

There is no doubt in my mind that their phones are compromised.

Social media companies just doing the bidding of their owners.

It's all good dude. The other people reading this realize you're not a racist, and that other guy you're arguing with is extremely narrow in his definition and unnecessarily combative over semantics, to the point of being anal-retentive.

Knowing the Republican party, they'll try and pull a weekend at Bernie's. Pretending Trump is alive and well, just so they can continue to use him to jam through their agenda.

Oh I've seen plenty of it too. They always argue we need to cut benefits. They never ever mention taxing rich people their fair share.

Sure wouldn't be a shame if something happens to Damon Hininger, current CEO of Core Civic.

"I've worked at CoreCivic for 32 years, and this is truly one of the most exciting periods of my career," CEO Damon Hininger said on the company's earnings call.

Throw these parasites in their own prisons.

Hear that? If you're gonna go to jail, might as well go big.

 

If you aren't aware, the Ghost Stories English Dub is one of the most insane dubs ever made. It's incredibly offensive and racist and bat shit insane at times and it's probably one of the funniest things I've ever watched. Scamboli Reviews has a great summary video about it. If you have time, it's worth watching this anime at least once in your life.

 

The Gold Saucer is sure to be fantastic, and I'm excited to see the date scene. But I'm particularly interested in how they do Barret and Dyne's encounter. I hope they expand on that whole moment.

Can we discuss the start of act 2?

I made it a point not to roll back my saves for any decision I make. So far, I've managed to save the tiefling's at the druid camp. Being a tiefling myself, I want to see them make it!

This made me all the more excited to see all the tiefling's that I'd saved make it this far. And boy were there a lot of them. So many people I recognized from previous conversations or quests. I was thrilled! And they of course remembered me.

I say all this to emphasize how hard it hit me when I wasn't able to protect Isabel. That whole interaction blindsided me so bad. And my initiative roll was horrible for all my characters, I ended up being paralyzed and they just slaughtered her in 2 turns.

It was a freaking gut punch, the likes I haven't felt in a game in years. All those innocent people, turned to monsters, then forcing me to put them down.

My main character was always so optimistic before this. This interaction is gonna make me change the way I play and the decisions I make going forward, just to really add to the impact of him losing all those people he cared about, thinking the decisions he made led to their death.

Is there anyone living the good life with their tiefling friends in the Last Light Inn? Anyone who saved Isabel? Because my character just lost his people and is a broken person now because of it.
