https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/coronavirus-ecuador-guayaquil-bodies-streets-police-barcelona-a9462246.html?utm_source=reddit.com I hate the Independent most of the time, but this was worth posting - grim scenes from Ecuador. I blame politicians and the media for this, they've dumbed down political discourse into black & white, good v bad type bullshit. And the reality is there's a shitloads of grey area in life - but that's not as easily digestible or easy to sensationalise to make money, so society's kind of been conditioned to ignore grey areas.

Tbf I like it too, I guess I just don’t like people constantly posting it on social media and especially my uncle giving my dad shit not actively doing it because my dad was having a poo. Especially because that cunt talks about the NHS like everyone involved in the health services rapes his wife, but now he’s all about wanting to show his support.

I’m on Jedi Knight. I’ve actually had a much easier time just playing extra defensively though, which makes sense for a Jedi. But I had been wanting to be going crazy on the lightsaber like Darth Maul so hopefully once I learn more cool sword and force tricks that’ll make me the aggressive psychopath Jedi I aspire to be

@Mel81x @nudge ... did either of you find this game to be much tougher combat wise than you were expecting? I’m so shit with the timing of my parrys, which leads to me getting hit way more than I’m anticipating. Tough game. But a good game. If the answer to that question is no, then I just might be a shit Jedi. Did you ever play the Titanfall games (which are also Respawn games)? Titanfall 2 was a game I was sure EA would fill up with their typical anti-consumer bullshit... instead it was just a great game and all the DLC was just cosmetic (and unlockable by just playing the game). I’m going to keep trusting EA games by Respawn until they burn us all by going the route of... every other developer EA took over.

There’s rent protests in Wuhan now

Is Covid19 not all over the fucking media? Or all the deaths in Italy that were pretty much all the news would talk about until it hit the UK & US? I think the 8pm clapping thing was a nice gesture at first, but now I’m seeing it’s just a way for people to record a video of themselves for social media... or for people to neighbor shame (like my cunt uncle giving my dad shit for not clapping last night). It’s a bit rich if you’ve been told “you don’t support the NHS!!!!” when it’s from someone who routinely votes Tory. Oh, now you support the NHS, you fucking twats, is it because now you’re afraid of dying and you want treatment? I hate my fucking uncle

Well I hate the controls, but I really like the game. It’s fun being a Jedi with flashy graphics

I got stuck in Prey so I’ve given up lol. Time to try Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order

You didn’t post a link? Unless you mean TalkFootball365 is a great site. And then, yeah I’m aware I post here daily.

Yeah, I get that there's better players that probably should be in my XI... but ya know how it goes - I can only really judge things based off what I've seen with my own eyes. And unfortunately, we had much better teams before I was alive compared to after I was alive. Hansen's considered by many to be our best ever centreback by a long, long, long distance - so I'm sure had I seen him, I'd have him in my XI. We can all probably do a "best ever" Liverpool XI that'll have a shitload of the same players - those "legends" that are obviously great because those names come up in so many XIs that were pivotal moments in the club's history and they've etched themselves forever in history as some of the most successful players to play in England while with us. Unfortunately for me, I missed most of that and I think the first year I remember of football is 1993, Fowler's debut season. I think I'd been forced to watch it with my dad probably since I was just an alien-looking-like newborn and I was too young to ever really watch it click, but watching this kid explode onto the scene and just score on everyone was what made it all click with me. So ya know, that's gonna be my first like "starting point" for the Liverpool players/sides I judge.

Tbh I can never keep track of any of the Resident Evils lol

Oh yeah, he should probably be my keeper for the side that includes present day players.

I've been playing Prey. So far it's like BioShock and Dishonored had a baby (the Dishonored connection makes sense, because Arkane studios made Dishonored). I'm trying to beat it before the 15th, when it's off GamePass.

The herd immunity theory sounds good until you hear medical experts say it could take years to develop herd immunity without a vaccine... and then it just sounds like a way to get the world's health services completely overwhelmed.

Reina's easily the best keeper we've had in my lifetime, so I understand why @CaaC (John)'s son put him in. Clemence is before our time. I only caught the tail end of Grobelaar's career. Same with Rush, which is why I've got more fond memories of Robbie Fowler and Gerrard than players like Rush and Barnes, who are some of Liverpool's all time greats (although I think Stevie is too). I'd probably put Grobelaar in over James though tbh. Some good shouts in there though. Hyypia's the best defender I've seen with us (until VVD, but let's see Virgil do it for as long as Big Sami did for us before I say he's better) - sorry Carra. If I were to do one from my lifetime, I'd probably make it. Reina Alexander-Arnold Hyypia Van Dijk Robertson Mascherano Alonso Gerrard Mane Suarez Salah And if I had to leave players we've currently got in the side out, I'd just make a few tweaks... Reina Finnan Hyypia Carragher Aurelio Mascherano Alonso Gerrard McMannaman Torres Suarez Notable absentees that deserve mentions: Fowler, Agger, Skrtel, Kuyt, Riise, Johnson, Sissoko, Gary Mac, Didi Hamman, Luis Garcia, fuckin' Heskey (especially that one season), Berger.

As someone who hates BoJo, fucking hell... I hope he gets better ASAP. I assume if he’s in intensive care he’s either on a ventilator or about to be on one.

When online bullying goes right

I think the club getting the taxpayer to pay for 80% of furloughed staff is an absolute disgrace. It's nice the club will pay the remaining 20%, unlike Levy with Spurs, but it's antithetical to the ethos of our club to have the taxpayer paying when we've got more money than most clubs and most clubs have shitloads of cash.

Shame on Sheffield United. Although they’re owned by an Al Saud... so no surprise they’re not joining in

Yeah that’s a satire page, I didn’t even watch that. It’s just an absurd statement to make. Especially from a Canadian. In the midst of this coronavirus panic Trump ordered 3M to stop selling N95s to Canada. Meanwhile the paper pulp in those masks come from Canada, so if Canada wanted to retaliate in kind they could block the export of that pulp. So Trump’s threatening the supply of protective gear to most people on the frontlines of this battle because... he’s an idiot and doesn’t know what he’s doing. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/03/us/politics/coronavirus-trump-3m-masks.amp.html https://www.politico.com/amp/news/2020/04/03/3m-warns-of-white-house-order-to-stop-exporting-masks-to-canada-163060

No offense, but if you think GWB is more ignorant than Trump... then you might actually be more ignorant than Trump. And Bush was an utter fucking moron, but the fat orange guy is on an other level. I don’t even know if the orange guy can read.

Fucking hell thats sad about that your German Shepherd. These people know people love their pets so much and try to exploit it for as much cash as possible - I think it’s fucked to do that to people who are just concerned about their sick pets & who are grieving their lost pets. Might be another reason I like animals more than most people

The "mass" in Cosmo's throat they were feeling was his fucking Adams Apple. And they wanted to either radiate him or remove his thyroid based on that, him having a big Adam's Apple - even though the cytology & bloodwork indicated that the "mass" wasn't a cancer - or a benign lump. I'd also like to add, Cosmo's a fairly big cat. So a bigger than normal cat would most likely have a bigger than normal Adams Apple compared to other cats, I'd imagine. I felt the "lump" as well. It did seem quite big. So obviously I was concerned. Thank fuck my wife & I were thinking "hmmm.... better get another fucking opinion before we put our cat through this shit." This time we go to a vet who's said, "I'm not sure if it's a lump or not, but based off the testing the other doctors have done and other doctors feeling something in his throat - but if it were you or me or our spouses/kids, we'd do a CT scan to figure out exactly what it is." And at this point, I'm thinking he might have cancer - but I'm not going to give him treatment for it without figuring out exactly what it is. So yeah... get Cosmo his CT scan. And tbh, I'm pretty livid with the other vets he's seen it's been a bit of an ordeal thinking that there's something seriously wrong with my cat for... a few weeks now. And they did so many tests that were inconclusive. And he's a cat... so he hates fucking vet visits. So I feel like I've put him through a lot of shit (that also... wasn't very cheap) when a vet should have been telling us to get a CT scan... prior to telling me that he's got cancer and he's going to need serious serious treatment. I just don't understand how people could make that diagnosis without all of the information available. I also don't understand why I did testing to figure out "what the lump was" when it turns out the lump was just him being a big cat and having an Adams Apple... and he was groaning just because he's older now and he's got arthritis and some cats do that. But regardless at how annoyed I am at some of Cosmo's past vets... I cannot really put into words how relieved I am that he doesn't have cancer. But I feel like vets should know how important pets can be to their owners and maybe exercise a bit more caution before suggesting serious treatments for issues the pets don't even have.

Fucking hell.

Well I always give you the inside scoop first, obviously. And thanks mate. I am so very fucking happy, I don't even care it cost me a load of money to find out he doesn't have cancer. He's a good kitty, he doesn't deserve shitty things like that happening to him.
