Its the reverse. Far easier to see invis units on lower graphics and textures settings than it is on high/ultra textures. If you jump onto twitch and have a look, many of the high level players will have the game on the lowest settings graphics settings for this reason although plenty also just run it looking nice for the audiences sake.

"Most social movements nowadays are disproportionally led by psychopaths (primary or secondary), people with Borderline Personality Disorder or narcissism (in short, people with Cluster B personality disorders), studies show."

"It is impossible (yes, really, there have been studies) for healthy, normal people to understand the motivations of the mentally ill, including mild and severe Cluster B."

THE

"so, studies suggest that the confusion of the state of affairs and the inability to form a mentalizing theory of mind for the mild or severely mentally ill portion of leaders in social movements is actually a sign of health and intelligence :)"

STUDIES.

Considering you refer to no less than three amorphous groups of "studies", please post them. Otherwise it really only points towards you using the term because you think it gives you intellectual credibility.

No he doesnt, you are wrong, just more confident.

A few seconds of googling clearly demonstrates MANY circumstances in which the NATO is encouraged or required to fire warning shots.

Seeing as you struggled to discover any information before declaring the other commenter incorrect, let me fetch some for you.

[Above source, page 159, Bosnia 2001] "Further, warning shots were permitted, even encouraged, and the use of deadly force against assailants fleeing an attack was not even covered. "

[Above source, page 161, footnote 24] See infra notes 108-16 and accompanying text for a discussion of how current ROE require U.S. troops to use both verbal warning and warning shots, while the DOJ policy on the use of deadly force does not require the agency's officers to employ either of these actions.

So, while the DOJ has policy which excludes warning shots for US military, they were also ordered that they must use both verbal and warning shots as a part of their rules of engagement.

Calling BS on this story, sorry. No one in this world is training to fire a "warning shot". That is from the movies - full stop

I'm sure if I looked harder I can find many, many more examples. Please do at least the faintest whiff of research before declaring someone else incorrect - full stop.

I also think that people putting a lot of focus into shoes or other clothing articles underestimate the motivation and capability of people to use the traditional "prison wallet" method of concealing things.

I felt silly for even thinking this, but seeing as you've mentioned it. It would be so hilarious if true considering he has offered to play naked[1] to prove his innocence!

Fine, I'll bite.

Mr Bright said:

"Americans have the highest standard of living in the world. That's why the poor from everywhere are trying to get into the US. Do you watch the news about all those migrants pouring over the border"

and you said:

"it just makes Walter's well thought, rational arguments even stronger. reply"

His reply is neither well thought[out], rational or strong whatsoever. His reiteration of Americans having the highest global standard of living does NOTHING to address any of the issues I raised with this statement in my previous comment, he literally just repeat his assertion.

Which is also untrue, SOME Americans have the highest living standards, many many many times more do NOT.

You will see neither my comment never mentions crime whatsoever. Mr Bright inserts the topic of crime, drug addiction, criminal enforcement and theft as though criminals and addicts are the only Americans who live in poverty and the only metric for establishing living standards is crime. This is clearly illogical and irrational.

Many of the people suffering at the hands of US capitalism simply got cancer, were in a car accident, were born with disability, got hurt at work, too old to work but no retirement fund, etc.

Frankly, I dont care about "helping my position" or if the language I use upsets you! Anyone with the faintest whiff of logical integrity can clearly see that Walther Not-So Bright is espousing bullshit that he believes, not that has any rational basis.

You're right next to him at the bottom of the intellectual barrel.

It's why Americans live the highest standard of living in the world.

Some Americans*, and far fewer than those that have some of the lowest standards of living in the world. And the US has greater wealth disparity than many other countries with living standards many would argue are at least equal.

Altruism isnt necessary, education is. Education teaches people that the best way to prevent the most harmful acts in society is to make sure peoples needs are met, which capitalism and the free market routinely fails at. This is why US has worse crime than other developed nations even accounting for population, you fail to meet your citizens needs within the system so they do it themselves outside of it.

Kia Ora,

Im from a chunk of Australia known for a tonne of roundabouts and observed the same issue. My theory is that this is actually roundabouts working as intended, despite the frustration of the South-Enterers.

Basically, if the flow of traffic is both moving too fast and with too great a vehicle density to allow for safe entry (even if slow, like 1 SouthBound Vehicle for 5x Northbound + 5x Westbound) then the traffic organism is actually distributing resources based on need, rather than convenience. The flow WILL automatically correct itself as the population of vehicles diminishes, the question is if the WAIT time for Southbounders (and the population of Southbounders) is sufficiently large that interfering with their flow is actually delaying more people than the North and West routes, but that is more of an issue of roundabout placement than it is the roundabout itself being inefficient.

(^^The above is all 100% observation and guesswork, anyone with some education on the matter want to chime in?)

This the most salient point to me, it is absolutely unbelievable to me that the US continues to use four-way intersections despite the huge risk, loss of life and suffering they cause. They are exceptionally rare in Australia too, if they do exist it is only on a road with a speed limit of 60km/h (at least in my region).

Coincidentally, where I live is known for its many many roundabouts and not only are they safer but they also offer superior cross-way throughput when traffic is heavy. And they allow the "middle" of the intersection to store a chunk of traffic who are protected from full speed impacts while still letting vehicles flow slowly through the perpendicular axis.

What? Most Australians do not support the monarchy, a lot of Australians want a republic.

For all of those Australians, having the democratically elected PM become president is clearly superior than having an unelected monarch be the head of state.

You're the one kidding, mate.

Stupid thing to say, your countries Supreme Court constantly have thousands of lawyers arguing over the distinctions, definitions and interpretation of the 1A.

Plus, Cloudfare isnt the government and is quite explicitly NOT burdened by a legal requirement to protect any users free speech. The fuck are you on about?

Sigh, I see this pop up so I should really just copy and paste one of my other answers, but.

Australians supported handing in our guns after Port Arthur, Australians that want to engage in firearm use for sport, hunting, antique collection or pest control can all still do so within appropriate circumstances that the public overwhelmingly support.

Low hanging fruit, moronic, pro-gun sentiment only shows how little you understand about the country you are talking about.

(Not an endorsement for the Aus 3-Letters spying, which is a different issue.)
