Most games are tests of wits or skill for one, and sometimes difficulty is a core pillar of the experience one way or the other. I don't know why developers should settle for that if they don't want too when designing hard, less approachable games carries its own handicap with regards to commercial appeal.Because they aren't artists grappling with The Big Stuff (TM), they're manufacturers of mass media.I'm not sure what games potentially classify as is pertinent to that debate really ? I don't think it's too iconoclast to say that most solitaire / one player games are generally meant as a challenge (achieve victory conditions under whatever set of arbitrary rules and conditions were designed) involving luck, skill, practice or wits. I don't think you can downsize rules or the challenge indefinitely to accommodate everyone without breaking many game designs and diluting their whole raison d'être to nothing.And I would say that difficulty for videogames can be a "narrative" tool as well (regardless of how artful you would consider the "story" or "propos").Games are entertainment, non-essential and so plentiful in every form and difficulty for every sort of public that I don't really understand why From should have to include an easy mode, just like I wouldn't expect a 6 year old kid to be able to beat and enjoy Korsun Pocket.

Milkshakes unnecessarily exploit animals. We should throw rotten tomatoes at reactionaries instead

Too lazy to look this up, but I'd drop a fiver on Sam Harris condoning actual assassinations in the so-called War on Terror, either outright or through some tedious argument about exigent circumstances demanding situational morals.
The only way to rule out collateral damage would be to refuse to fight wars under any circumstances. As a foreign policy, this would leave us with something like the absolute pacifism of Gandhi. While pacifism in this form can constitute a direct confrontation with injustice (and requires considerable bravery), it is only applicable to a limited range of human conflicts. Where it is not applicable, it is seems flagrantly immoral. We would do well to reflect on Gandhi’s remedy for the Holocaust: he believed that the Jews should have committed mass suicide, because this “would have aroused the world and the people of Germany to Hitler’s violence.” We might wonder what a world full of pacifists would have done once it had grown “aroused”—commit suicide as well? There seems no question that if all the good people in the world adopted Gandhi’s ethics, the thugs would inherit the earth.So we can now ask, if we are willing to act in a way that guarantees the misery and death of some considerable number of innocent children, why spare the rod with known terrorists?

Far from being ‘paid support’ as their desperate critics suggest, the Grants are both highly intelligent Brexiteers

Sergeant MacNaughton alleged that the unarmed man was shot while attempting to escape, while the man claimed he was ordered by MacNaughton to climb over a fence to the flank of the patrol and was shot by him when he did so.MacNaughton – who was in his mid-30s at the time – was found not guilty of both charges by the Belfast City Commission on September 5, 1974.The judge ruled that the evidence of the civilian was "unsatisfactory and inconsistent in certain details", whereas the evidence of the accused and other soldiers "fitted together and was not mutually contradictory".

Trademark AdvicePureKino - this is Mehow's own approach to attraction. According to him, all you need to attract a woman is influential kinesthetics. Composing of verbal prowess (words) and a lot of touching (kino).Value Velocity - this is a concept that Mehow developed based on his own experience. It states that as long as the topic you are talking to a woman with has value, it would take less than 10 seconds for attraction to set in.Solo winging - Mehow firmly believes that though having a wingman can sometimes be valuable, solo winging can get you much better results.The Microloop

Concepts and theories taught by Adam include:Entourage game in which being surrounded by many beautiful women will make you appear attractive and, in turn, allow you to attract other desirable women.One way which Adam explains attraction is by using this formula which represents events leading to someone being attracted to you if they had not been at first site:(C-R) + Q + S = AC = ComfortR = RapportQ = QualificationS = Sexual EscalationA = Attraction

If you've been following my work for a while, you'll notice I've been warning up to faith in God over the years, especially the past year. This is due to witnessing the growth of evil in society, my personal experiences with unbridled hedonism, and my sister's death. This reached a climax when I received a message while on mushrooms which cemented that faith further, an experience which I will share in the future after I'm done processing it.
Many comments from men said how the black pill was a gateway to the God pill. There seems to be a progression:Blue pill: Ignorance, denial of natureRed pill: Truth through materialism (muscles, women, money, status)Black pill: Acceptance of one's powerlessness, withdrawal from materialist societyGod pill: Submission to God's will
The God pill does feel like the final destination, where life becomes about asking Him for help and performing His will in a way that embraces good.
