The Bigfoot Joyride is Bigfoot’s attempt to make his own hot rod. We have on good authority that the real Bigfoot doesn’t have a car, but based on the schematic drawing we found in his journal, if he did, it would be a giant foot. Look at how happy he looks sitting in his 5-1/2" long, soft vinyl and plastic foot car. Just pull the foot back, release it and watch it run. If this car breaks down, Bigfoot has to take it to a podiatrist. Makes every drive a walk!

5 Valuable Bitcoin Predictions: Is a Correction Coming?

Bitcoin hit an all-time high once again on March 14. Moreover, it broke a new record of $73,794. In particular, the increasing influence of the United States on the buying side of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and the plans of large companies such as MicroStrategy to increase their Bitcoin reserves are among the factors supporting Bitcoin’s rise. However, technical analysts note that…

Weekend Update June 17th 2023 - The BIG Picture

We finally got a pause day last Friday as the market took a breather from a very strong move up all week long. It’s taken many traders by surprise, including myself. I was looking for a pullback for the last 2-3 weeks, and it never happened. Instead we broke-through the 4300 zone of resistance and squeezed and squeezed and squeezed. It’s the most overbought I’ve seen on the RSI of the 6 hour…

Why Covid is still a force to be reckoned with

Although the restrictions have been lifted in the UK, Covid is still a force to be reckoned with, because although it is massively reduced, it hasn’t gone and is now continuing to spread, according to new stats coming out in the UK. There are 3,264 new cases in Bristol. (Source: Twitter.com)

Trying to navigate my own life with restrictions that have been lifted, continues to be a work in progress for me. Going for walks makes for less anxious times thankfully, I have managed to go to two shops, but it’s still a ‘no’ to restaurants, coffee shops, bars, theatres, or cinemas.

It would be foolhardy to think the virus doesn’t exist, or to think we don’t need to wear masks in public spaces. Whilst I understand some of us are done with the precautionary measures, you have to remember, the virus isn’t done with ‘you.’

While the consensus is we don’t care if we catch the virus, so long as we get our lives back, there are still those people who are vulnerable and high risk, and who have more to lose if they were to catch the virus.

For those of us who are vulnerable, life is very different now. It’s got to the point, where wearing a mask out, means getting some of our ‘normal’ back. I am now in a drip, drip, situation which is giving me time to figure things out, without feeling pressured, or living with fear induced anxiety.

It is important to start making different choices about how we life our lives moving forward, so that we can all stay safe. This is different from what has been the ‘norm,’ but it’s one that helps us all get back into our lives comfortably.

Into the third year of Covid-19, I now feel I can tackle the grocery store with a mask and visor on, but I need to think about timing, when I go.

My cat: Meow (let me out on the balcony)

Me: Alright. Oh, you have such a cute little forehead! Here, take some scratches. *Giving her scritchies, slowly openin the balcony door* Yeah, you wanna go outside? Here let's-

Outside: Hi, hello yes, somehow there's suddenly a fuckton of snow, because this is Finland and fuck you

Me: *Staring*

Me: *More staring*

Me: Ew, what the fuck? *slowly closes the door*

Eventually Mango wanted to go on the balcony regardless. It was so cold she took like one minute before she came back inside, screaming at me. SORRY LITTLE ONE IDK HOW TO TAKE THE SNOW AWAY

By: Wilfred Reilly and Robert Cherry

Published: Feb 14, 2023

The senseless murder of Tyre Nichols, by five black Memphis police officers, was an undisputed tragedy. But it’s important to judge it in context.

For many on the American political left, the explanation for what happened was simple: white supremacy. Despite the officers involved being black, this was still held up as evidence of the continued victimisation of black men by police officers who too often resort to violence whenever they interact with ‘people of colour’. Michael Brown, Freddie Gray, George Floyd and other BLM martyrs, of varying degrees of actual innocence, have been cited in support of these claims, and have been used to fuel the ‘Defund the Police’ narrative.

This take is wrong. We shouldn’t demonise policing and policemen simply because the annual number of problematic killings is above zero. According to the Washington Post’s excellent database, about 25 unarmed black Americans were killed by police gunfire annually from 2015 to 2018. The figure is only at 25 because of an atypical 37 killings in 2015. Over the past four years, in fact, the number of unarmed black Americans killed annually by police gunfire stands at 12. In contrast, far more police officers are shot and killed in the line of duty each year – 314 police officers were shot and 58 were killed in 2021 alone.

While the left highlights the fact that black Americans are killed by police at two-to-three times the rate that would be expected from their share of the population, it neglects to mention the most glaringly obvious reason for this. Black Americans are a far younger, more urban and more working-class population than are white Americans. Largely as a result of this, they are disproportionately perpetrators of violent crimes. They therefore come into contact with the law more often than other sections of US society. According to recent figures from the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), black Americans are at least five times as likely as whites to commit murders and nearly three times as likely to commit violent crimes overall.

Moreover, the homicide problem in specifically black communities has grown significantly since the killing of George Floyd in 2020 – with the annual number of murders surging to over 20,000 and black-perpetrator homicides passing the 10,000 mark in both 2020 and 2021. There are now significantly more black (60 per cent) than ‘white and other’ (40 per cent) homicide victims annually, despite the fact that black Americans make up only 12 to 13 per cent of the US population. This entirely new level of blood-letting is the true crisis faced by black American citizens living in struggling neighbourhoods – not the phoney risk of ‘genocide’ at police hands, as BLM claims.

None of this excuses terrible police work, such as that which cost Tyre Nichols his life. However, as Bob Maranto and I have noted, perhaps the most serious problem with the BLM-inspired ‘defund the police’ narratives is that they utterly ignore potential changes to policing that might actually work. Over the past two decades, well-documented police-community coordination in major cities has been effective at reducing the number of black men killed by police, and even the share of black men engaged in violent behaviours.

Over the past decade, many police forces have begun to dramatically revamp their use of force and rethink citizen-interaction policies. Sometimes this has been prodded by federal intervention – particularly after the 2015 Department of Justice investigation into policing techniques in the troubled city of Ferguson, Missouri. As leading criminologists like David Kennedy and Thomas Abt have pointed out, police forces working with community groups have had success targeting a small number of the most ‘at risk’ men in high-crime neighbourhoods. The technique is simplicity itself: offer these potential offenders (and potential victims) strong positive incentives if they begin to turn their lives around, but harsh penalties if they do not.

Memorably, in the summer of 2020, the defunding movement proposed replacing police officers with social workers and community ‘violence disruptor’ groups. It was not entirely wrong about the role social workers can play as part of an anti-crime strategy. However, the activists failed to recognise that these groups cannot act independently of the police. Social workers, in particular, cannot effectively respond to serious situations of domestic or family violence alone – since most are young untrained women and these troubling cases often involve serious criminals armed with guns or knives. Independent ‘peace-makers’ are just tax-paying citizens – they have no access to the databases that police officers use to proactively interact with high-risk men, or any real ‘sticks’ to use to force compliance with the law. Social work and community activism can work only as an addition to better-funded and more proactive police departments, not as an alternative to them.

Other practical strategies for improving policing can work, too. As Maranto and I note, New York City – perhaps surprisingly one of the US’s very top police departments – simply fires all officers who pick up more than two or three verified citizen complaints, or demotes them to hated jobs, such as in the departmental motor pool. Maintaining a strong, well-funded Internal Affairs division, and even requiring officers to fill out an awkward 40-plus page report every time they unholster a firearm, have proven to be effective violence-reduction strategies as well. The prospect of bureaucratic tedium really can keep officers in check.

It is also clear what does not work to improve policing – the BLM-promoted strategy of reduced stop rates by lower-funded police departments. As Jason Johnson of the Law Enforcement Legal Defence Fund notes, when arrests recently plunged by 38 per cent in New York City, homicides rose 58 per cent – by more than 100. In Chicago, the equivalent figures were 53 per cent and 65 per cent. In Louisville, Kentucky, stops dropped by 35 per cent, arrests dropped by 42 per cent and murders rose 87 per cent. As Travis Campbell of the University of Massachusetts observes, the response of cities to major Black Lives Matter marches does appear to correlate with a slight decline in police shootings, but also with a remarkable surge of 1,000 to 6,000 more annual homicides nationally.

Given all this, what the horrific Tyre Nichols case reveals is not ‘black white supremacy’ but the flaws in the currently popular woke model of how to fix policing. Race doesn’t seem to have played a huge role in Nichols’ killing one way or another. More significant is the fact that the ‘hired from the hometown’ officers who allegedly beat Nichols to death were recruited under ‘dangerously lowered’ standards – two of those involved in Nichols’ death were sworn in back in August 2020, after Memphis Police Department had decided to attract more minorities by lowering education requirements. These lawmen were assigned to an almost irrationally aggressive anti-crime unit (called ‘SCORPION’), which was established precisely because crime had surged so much in Memphis – and everywhere else – following George Floyd’s killing and the Great Police Pullback. A decent man lost his life as a result.

We know what might save 10 or so ‘black lives’ every year from police shootings. And we know that these approaches might also protect a great many citizens from being knocked over the head with a brick by muggers. Yet too many on the left are happy to mouth inane ‘defund’ slogans and push dangerous policies. In doing so, they are harming the very people on whose behalf they claim to speak.

==

The uptick in violence and deaths as a result of police pullback is also known as the "Ferguson Effect," and has been studied.

"BLM" is a brand name, not a mission statement. They don't own concern for black people any more than Xianity owns morality.

BLM's aims are ideological (and financial), not social. Defending what they do - and maybe even more importantly, what they don't do - with "what, you don't think black lives matter?" is as asinine and dishonest as saying, "what, you don't want to make America great again?" or "but it's a religion of peace!" The Democratic People's Republic of North Korea is neither democratic nor for the people.

For the record, this is a bait-and-switch equivocaton and deception called the Motte and Bailey.

If black lives mattered to BLM, they'd be talking about things that matter to altering the trajectory of black lives that would benefit from those things: literacy and education, neighborhood crime (esp. black-on-black), young parenthood, fatherlessness, and vocational opportunities, especially those that aren't dependent on college.

[ The correct number is low double-digits. And below statistical expectations. ]

Tunic was solid up until Quarry. I'm just checking out on that, I go through an entire level, for Nothing, to be my reward, terrible enemy placement, alongside a long treck back, a fake checkpoint you can't reach, Eeeeh.

I had fun exploring and finding and stuff, but it Really, grinds you down with Absolute Dead Ends, and Horrid design sometimes that just make you reel back and go "Oh, this is when they just wanted the game done, damned be playtesting"

Absolutely fantastic, but my god, No. I'm not going alllllll the way back to either checkpoints, with my health this low, just to reset it, head alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll the way god damned back, for the health degen to once again, push me back. Why. What are dev's fucking throbbing lust for wasting your god damned time. Having you run miles through bullshit or absolutely nothing. I'm not learning shit running a squiggly line, I'm not wasting my time on enemies that waste my time.

Oh and then some enemy blew up a wall. I'm pissed. You're telling me. There's illusory walls. And they only blow up, with fucking bombs. There's no indicator they blow up, you just, fucking, guess. My god. That and the amount of times I open a chest just for like...20 fucking points? Like man, what a waste of my time. Finding shit stops being fun when you get yet another fucking 20 points. At least the consumables can be...interesting, I just don't care. All this exploration for points you get off 2 enemies. Or a consumable, I will Never, Use.

I love the 3 button action thing, but it's not enough. Consumables simply shouldn't take up an action slot. I won't fiddle with one in the midst of combat, nor do I see a point in not keeping the most optimal loadout. All consumables really are is another form of padding. Something for chests to have that aren't more damn points.

I get why they have so many chests but at some point, just start making equipment. That's really the last thing missing here for this game. It'd keep me going somewhat to, there's armor, or weapons, spells or whaever to find. Not just points. Not another damn bomb.

So close. It was so close. Utterly blown away, I wanted to keep pushing despite being totally lost. But that killed me. That killed all enjoyment. Nothing. Not one god damned thing but the fucking hero's grave, which followed with a very common saying "I can't do anything here yet!" which you'll say every fucking 5 minutes. It's a grind after a while just trying to find the next location, Desperate not to look up a guide, but far more desperate to just not have my fucking time wasted, my patience tested, and my trust utterly betrayed by, yet again, absolutely, nothing. Not one. God damned thing.

Twice.

The fucking frog section has the damn gem stolen like, man, it was cool, until you did it again, but instead of story, it was just a massive, waste of my fucking time, a massive test of my patience, for again, Absolutely, Nothing. God.

I'm not asking for any waypoints, but give me Something man. When 2 sections back to back have nothing as the reward, no direction given, and the latter is just dogshit? Why. Why keep going when I've already experienced everything the game has to offer. It played it's hand already and told me to fuck off, there's nothing left. It's over.

As far as I care, the game finished at the Quarry. Very disappointing, very poor end for what was a great game. Wish the fucking guide got finished before the game ended at Quarry, but alas, I'm just not interested in bottom tier time wasters with ridiculously good beginnings, I already have dark souls.

Really just pisses me off they gave up here. Devs, if you've got a good game, don't pad it. Don't extend it. Just end it, while it's good. If you are tired, the player will be too. Don't waste my damn time. It's really, really simple. That and playtest, fuck.

#tunic #What truly grinds my gears is honestly the speed of movement and control becomes so fucking bad #running means not being able to climb ladders #which means dodge rolling instead #your run has a momentum that throws you off course when you turn #enemies have near infinite aggro range and love to trap you in corners #my god the fucking snipers #dude who the fuck thought giving them homing bullets was a good idea #they'd done better to just shoot faster but not fucking curve towards you #there's a parry that like...Doesn't work #doesn't make sense #and will never ever be used #you double shield #which is the rt button #the rt button #you know the one that has a trigger????#that has pullback nshit????#it's really close tho #I wanted to reccomend it to friends but the moment I got to the end of quarry it was like all the shit flooded in #like patience finally ran out #you had your chance with the checkpoint #you fucking faked behind water #but no #gotta spam enemies and waste my god damned time with a fucking shortcut to absolutely fucking nowhere #congratulations you lost a sale #this is why I pirate #If you want something similar Crystal Project is a bit better #it still has the problem of having no idea where to go #but it doesn't utterly waste your fucking time
