https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/26/us/texas-guns-permitless.html absolute pack of morons Texas: let’s make gun ownership even less regulated! Then gun crime inevitably skyrockets & they’re all upset about the uptick in gun violence. Texas: Why would Biden do this?! Also the shit they’re pulling guns out over is absolutely ridiculous. They’re acting like it’s Red Dead Redemption…

Big day in Iran to mark the 40th day since Mahsa Amini was murdered by the government's "morality" police for improperly wearing her hijab: Thousands march to where she is buried despite several road closures to the site. Eventually basijis open fire on the mourners. Strikes and demonstrations in the Tehran bazaar - first time that's happened with these protests Shah Cheragh, a mosque/tourist attraction in Shiraz, was the site of a deadly shooting where at least 20 died and over 20 are critically injured. The government is claiming it was Wahhabi terrorists, protestors are claiming it was 3 basiji gunmen. The government is using this as an excuse to encourage people to stop having mass gatherings - which seems a little suspicious (along with the whole timing of everything) University protests, which have been large already are absolutely massive right now. The government increased the number of security forces at most uni campuses ahead of the 40th day since Ms. Amini was murdered - but the protests at unis have been overwhelmingly large. Some of the shit I've heard and seen from my family has been absolutely outrageous. Shocking scenes. I hope the IRI is overthrown and that hell is real so Khamenei can join the Shah and Khomeini there.

Never should have had that first and last wash lol wtf he smoked animal shit and ate roadkill and lived to be 94?!

Fallout 3's story is great. Without giving too many spoilers, it starts off like the film Taken... but inverse. Your dad is Liam Neeson, you're meant to go find him.

Fallout = good Except Fallout 76 = shite

Absolutely, there are some absolute classics in the series. It basically takes place in an alternate history America that's somehow further into the future than we are... but the 50s culture never really went away & microcomputing never took off. The US and China have a war that lasts a few minutes as the world is nuked to hell... and each game starts off with you several hundred years away from that war in the post-nuclear armageddon world that emerged from the aftermath. Fallout 1 and 2 are very different to the newer Fallouts. It's one of those isometric 3D RPGs, so you've got a top down view of your character. The games are dated, but they are really fun & have good stories & better RPG elements than a lot of RPG games out there. But if you haven't played those old 90s isometric games before... I think it can be a bit of a struggle to enjoy. Fallout 3 is after Bethesda bought the series & is kind of the modern rebirth of the Fallout games. Idk if you've played any of the Elder Scrolls games... but they've basically made Fallout in a similar way to those games. Fallout 3 is brilliant - but also very dated... the shooting mechanics are clunky as fuck. It makes you appreciate using Fallouts VATS system rather than the traditional way of shooting people in a video game. Fallout New Vegas is even better (and made by the same people that did Fallouts 1 and 2 + that Outer Worlds game I talked about & the Wasteland Series... plus another RPG that is very popular that I can't remember the name of - I'd argue they're the best RPG developers in the US) - it's notoriously buggy though (there's a mod that basically patches it lol) and it's got the same similar clunkiness issues of 3. But they're excellent games with excellent stories. Fallout New Vegas is absolutely fantastic tbh. And while they are really dated, they've been out for a while and have a huge modding community. So you can sort of modify the game by installing a few mods. In my experience though, too many mods at once can absolutely break the game. Fallout 4 is a further modernisation... although they sort of shat on the RPG element of the game to make it a bit more accessible to the masses, so some of the choices you have don't have the same kind of consequences or variety that the other games provided. Where it makes up for it though is the gunplay no longer feels like absolute dogshit to anyone that's played any sort of modern shooter at all. It's not so dependent on VATS (although I still used it constantly). Don't worry about what VATS is - they'll explain that to you when you start playing one of them. They added some shit I absolutely do not care for - like the crafting and settlement building. Fallout 76 is shite though, online only and sort of their take on World of Warcraft. All in all though, very enjoyable games - I'd highly recommend them.

Yeah that's it

Looks like space Fallout, excellent. Although another Microsoft publisher did an excellent game that was basically a space fallout... I forget the name of it, but it was great (although very short).

Wonder if Sunak’s first order of business is to ban the sale of lettuce

If it goes nuclear I’ll probably be a nice tidy pile of radioactive ash

Keeping the IRGC and their proxies busy right now seems like a good thing for most Iranians tbh

What’s Russia going to do? They couldn’t even keep the peace against Azerbaijan and Armenia and the EU had to step in to calm tensions. Israel’s probably one of the most military capable countries in the world, what is Russia going to do while it’s depleted it’s military in Ukraine and all the experienced generals that served in Syria… are now serving in Ukraine. Israel’s doing it now because there won’t be any response. Russia didn’t even respond when Turkey shot down a fighter - I don’t think they will be able to respond to a modern military that can actually challenge them.

Hillary Clinton had to testify for fucking hours on end for things that weren’t even half as bad as what Trump did, I’m not gonna read that long ramble that says: I don’t think people I agree with should be held accountable for their crimes.

Bannon sent to jail for 4 months for contempt of congress & Trump subpoena'd (finally, lol) by the January 6th committee, so some good news coming from America today.

as if a tory would ever fucking do that

When I was a kid Robbie Fowler was my favourite player. And he's still my favourite player of all time. Especially after seeing this:

The UN:

This obviously resonated with a lot of people, because so many of us have clicked the little up arrow... but it definitely resonated with me. It's not that long ago I was feeling desperate to come back home and re-start life there. I left in the first place because I had a bleak feeling about opportunities in the UK compared to... doing the same things elsewhere. I can't imagine the uncertainty I'd be feeling if I were still home right now. It's honestly infuriating because it just feels like it's the result of completely unchecked incompetence. It really highlights the dangers of absolute shit leadership.

By acting like he's bigger than the team he's not really helping anybody - Ten Hag would be doing the right thing freezing him out tbh. Basically acting the exact opposite of what you'd expect from your old and experienced superstar in terms of setting an example for the rest of the squad.

Also, mate, you post clips from the most watched mainstream media news outlet in America, owned by one of the largest (if not the largest) international news companies in the world. The fuck do you mean you don't trust mainstream and legacy media?

That looks great

Pay the right people and you definitely can buy that kind of luck tbh

If they end up replacing her with Johnson again, the twat is going to be absolutely insufferable.

That's bad news for us. Not much good news generally this season Not that great that the 2 players we'd probably play on the left of our front 3 at the moment are both out injured until after the world cup. Carvalho or Nunez to fill in, I suspect.
