  1. Okay, we'll leave it there per your comfort. 🙂

    That's interesting that Norway remains Christian. I will say that of Sweden, Norway and Denmark - Norway is the only one I haven't visited and equally the one I know the least about.

    Maybe more Norway questions...

    I'll have to think.

  2. As a Muslim myself I have I ask you what would be wrong with a Muslim running the country?

    And controversial traditions? It'd be be cool if you'd elaborate on that was well.

    🙂

    Is Norway still a Christian country for real? I though Scandinavia as a whole was more secular on the national level...

    Don't be nervous and stay calm. When you get nervous you will most likely fail and under-perform. Well, it might not be true for everyone but this might help. Also, if the game allows it - you can pause it/open the options menu and leave the PC/console turned on and continue playing later from the same point.

    Agreed.

    The best plan is to realise it's just a game, has literally 0 real world consequences or stakes, and just get on with it.

    That or turn it off for a while and rejig yourself. 🙂

  4. Lion Air crash: Tragic find shocks distraught families

    RESCUERS in inflatable boats retrieved human remains, pieces of aircraft and personal belongings from the Java Sea yesterday after a new-generation Boeing jet operated by an Indonesian budget airline crashed minutes after takeoff, killing all 189 people on board.

     Distraught family members struggled to comprehend how the Lion Air plane that was just two months old crashed in fine weather with experienced pilots.They gathered at crisis centres set up by the authorities at airports, hoping desperately for a miracle.

     But a top search official, citing the condition of the remains recovered, said no survivors are expected.

    Awful stuff. 😢

    For me, The Sims 2 is superior to any other entries in The Sims franchise. The game was goofy, fun and plain unexpected at times. I've also enjoyed The Sims 3 but the more EP's I've installed, the more it stuttered. So it became pretty "meh" at that point. I absolutely hate The Sims 4 though. It has good graphics, realistic sim creation, but it's so boring.

    Sounds like me on Sim City. Love Sim City 3000, hate Sim City 4.

    I haven't played the Sims 4 yet, I'm skeptical too. It seems too modern for my liking.

    I will admit, you are right. The Sims 2 is highly superior to The Sims 3.

  6. Sure. 100%. Such advancements, if they actually do improve quality of life are worth paying for. Paying in monetary terms, absolutely.

    Not paying with our rights, humanity and dignity though.
    If you're paying with those things, you're giving up some quality of life, to gain a separate kind.

  7. Do you prefer to live alone, or with family/room mates/whatever?

    Personally, I have never lived alone and don't know that I could. I was looking to move out of my parents house (I was literally looking at places to live at the time) when I met my wife, but I wound up getting married and moving in with her.

    Looking back, maybe living alone would have been bad for me.

  8. 'We love history': Kentucky father defends wearing Nazi SS officer's uniform and dressing his son as HITLER for Halloween

    A father from Kentucky has been forced to apologize after he dressed his son up as Adolf Hitler while he wore the costume of a Nazi soldier for a family photo to celebrate Halloween. 

    Brant Goldbach said he regrets dressing his five-year-old son as the dictator, while he was wearing a Waffen-SS uniform.

    But he initially attempted to justify the idea saying his son loved dressing as 'historical figures'

    Goldbach posted photos of the outfits during a local trick or treat event on Thursday and condemned those who approached and threatened him and his son during the party.

    Read on: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6324457/Father-forced-apologize-dressing-son-Hitler-Halloween-photo.html

    Oh, god. The mental gymnastics and the way he tries to rationalise his choice to dress his son as  one of the worst genocidal dictators history, by comparing it to people dressing as works of fiction.

    Sorry dude, loving History is no excuse. Maybe dress as something less malignant next year.

    Yuck. And his poor son, even watching an easily episode of South Park would have warned against this stupidity.
