This might have been better in unpopular opinions.

But I don't entirely disagree with you. There certainly are some true believers out there, some are better people than others.

But there are also a lot of people who use their status as Christians to essentially cover up their true personalities, there's a lot of people who believe that just because someone goes to church that they are a good person.

I was raised Christian, but left because I just saw too many people preaching one thing but then doing the opposite in practice. There's a lot of hate attached to a lot of Christians and I personally believe that's against the true intended spirit of the religion.

There's also the general history of how the church was used to control and such. But that's a discussion I really don't want to get into.

I mean not to offend, but arguing with a strong believer is a waste of time. The basis of religious belief is to trust without evidence, but that goes against my personal belief that nothing can be proven to be true without at least some evidence.

I always thought console exclusivity was a wasted opportunity for more sales. Especially when it comes to selling a PC version.

Test releases in different qualities too. 4k is nice, but often it's overkill. 1080p or 720p most stuff depending how much I care. Sometimes aiming for smaller encodes by a different group, see what works for you.

Kinda how it feels in Australia as well. Older politicians making changes that improve their own lives and seem uninterested in long term planning (examples such as privatising water and electricity and selling the biggest telecom company off too)

You rate AI way higher than you should. Bits designed to play games have been a thing forever, but they just suck. No matter how fancy they still follow patterns and eventually become predictable.

That's not to say it wouldn't be good to have the option, but it's just not the same.

I generally prefer single player games anyway coz I can't keep up with people who spend all their time online though.

Yeah almost all of my play history from earlier in my accounts existence wasn't recorded. Not gonna lose sleep over it tho

I do like that in my country, if there's an emergency, you don't need to think about it. You just get help without fear of being financially crippled for life.

I feel bad for Americans that you can't easily get medical help, even in emergencies.

Exactly. She should be praised for taking the scientific approach and reconsidering her views based on evidence instead of blindly accepting what was being said

These are probably the same kinds of people who used to claim the devil was whispering to them in the random static noise from between TV stations.

They're clearly just broken people.

It is, especially considering past generations had fully government paid for University educations. We're being left behind by our elders for profit.

For the file name it contains the basic information about the file.

Batman begins =title

2005 = release year of the movie

1080p = video resolution

BluRay =source

The rest is encoding and video/audio information about the file

Framestor =release group name

It's been forever since I last ripped a video, but I remember videohelp.com being a decent source of information

I find it easier to backwards park, especially in tighter spaces. Mostly because it's easier if you look properly and watch your mirrors and don't rush. It's also easier to leave because you've got better line of sight for oncoming traffic
