The plague isn't dead but it's also not really a bad disease. The only reason it hosed poo poo up so bad in medieval times is because they tried to treat it by like, wiping your body with leaves to brush off the evil spirits.

also having a lot of people die of a disease means its survivors are going to be more resistant to it

I don't think that resistance lasts for centuries and centuries though.

Another fun fact about the plague is that people were told that taking baths made them more susceptible to it lol.

I think the logic is that when pretty much the entire population is infected, those who have the most natural resistance to the disease will survive, passing on their genes. Those who don't will die and won't get to.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

Ivanka is fulfilling the slot for ceremonial roles, like during inauguration. Because Melina wants to stay with Baron for his school year and she clearly hates this poo poo.

Some people watch sitcoms for mindless, sometimes humorous, entertainment.

I watch cryptozoology shows because they're guaranteed to be both mindless and hilarious. Seriously, they're hilariously entertaining for all the reasons they don't want to be.

My grandmother watches a lot of this poo poo, and I was over there when she was watching Mountain Monsters or something similar where a bunch of rednecks go into the woods and run around screaming with shotguns trying to find out what's going on.

I seem to remember one episode was about the chupacabra (could have been a different "Monsters" show, I guess they've got a few) where for some reason Bigfoot showed up too. I guess their official 'theory' was that Bigfoots were using them as dogs.

This is a pattern in all of them. No matter what dubious thing it is they're hunting, it's somehow related to Bigfoot.

The worst part was it was on Animal Planet. drat those channels have gone to poo poo. Now it's all vets, tree houses and chasing fictional monsters.

melania has absolutely no interest in doing any of the first lady duties at all. ivanka is going to hang out at the white house and do all the first lady stuff while melania stays far away from her husband's dumb vanity project as long as possible

My favorite part is that at the start of the show they always say something along the lines of "WILL THEY FIND THE MYSTERY BEAST?" and I always say "nope". If anyone ever did find anything definitive I'd have heard about it long before watching your garbage show on reruns. :v:

Lol. Far Cry is okay but it's always been thoroughly mediocre. Kind of like the avatar of passable triple A game/series.

The two I like, 2 and blood dragon, are because of their commitment to and success at theming

i strapped c4 to an elephant and detonated him inside a fort while he was going on a giant gently caress off elephant rampage, killing 3 men. absolutely nothing about that is mediocre.

And my flare gun set a blaze through the brush and set off the gas tank of my escape ride. I hide in a shack but the lovely walls get shot through and I have to dig a bullet out of my shin behind a steel barrel. The blaze hits the ammo dump and bullets start flying everywhere of their own accord.

That's all :krad: but the other 70 hours of Far Cry 2 is not a great game. Too much busy work in the series.
