This is the difference between a grounded good Canadian roots human being to another humans upbringing, values, morales and life experiences.
For him it wasn’t about the champagne bottles, screams or video streaming…. It was as human of a response as it gets. Really quite amazing to listen to his words and emotional response on his experience.
She just started a new game in Sims 4. She tried to answer the aptitude questions to get our jobs to match real life. She’s a nurse and I’m almost done with med school. Sims made here a doctor and made me unemployed. What did I do to get called out so hard by a video game?
William Shirer in Rise and Fall of the Third Reich
Pg 53: “In November 1918 the Social Democrats, holding absolute power, might have quickly laid the foundation for a lasting republic. But to have done so they would have had suppressed…the forces which would not accept a democratic Germany… They would have had to break up many of the great estates, which were wasteful and uneconomic and the industrial monopolies and cartels, and clean out the bureaucracy, the judiciary, the police, the universities and the army all of who would not loyally and honestly serve the New Democratic regime… This the Social Democrats… with the same habit of bowing to old, established authority, could not bring themselves to do.”
Pg 59: “Despite the November “Revolution”, the conservatives still held the economic power. The owned the industries, the large estates and most of the country’s capital. Their wealth could be used, and was, to subsidize political parties and a political press that would strive from now on to undermine the Republic.”
Pg 60: “The failure to clean out the Judiciary was another… the administrators of the law…pervert[ed] justice for reactionary political ends. After the Kapp Putsch in 1920 the government charged 705 persons with high treason: only one received a sentence…The treason laws were ruthlessly applied to supporters of the Republic; those in the right who tried to overthrow it, as Adolf Hitler was soon to learn, got off either free or with the lightest of sentences.”
Pg 62: “ the inflation could have been halted merely by balancing the budget—a difficult but not impossible feat. Adequate taxation might have achieved this, but the new government dare not tax adequately…instead of drastically raising taxes on those that could pay, the Republican government actually reduced them in 1921.”
I can’t expand my land without a prompt asking if I’m sure but I can easily spend x sim cash with a miss click. I especially appreciate the placement of spend 50 sim cash directly under my collect rewards for the dig site. This game is actually so fun, why the heck do they have such a scummy design? “Oh cause something something they’ll definitely spend money to buy more of sim cash cause of a miss click tehe” said ea.
Holy shit, some of the stretches in there are an absolute bitch. I came back to classical after a 10 or 11 year break and those stretches felt so unnatural for the first 2 weeks. How did you find it?
What is it and why would my AV software flag it as malicious? I see a bunch of posts from them, with almost zero in the comments section.
Hey /r/CFB! David from Nissan's social media team here again. I'm on-site in Dallas, TX at a Habitat for Humanity build, where we're getting some help from a few gentlemen you might recognize:
- Billy Sims - Oklahoma - 1978 Heisman Trophy winner
- George Rogers - South Carolina - 1980 Heisman Trophy winner
- Herschel Walker - Georgia - 1982 Heisman Trophy winner
- Tim Brown - Notre Dame - 1987 Heisman Trophy winner
- Ricky Williams - Texas - 1998 Heisman Trophy winner
We won't know exactly when the guys will be free, as building the home is priority number one, but I'll try to grab everyone for 15-20 minutes throughout the day. When you submit your questions, be sure to note if it's for a particular Heisman winner or for the group in general. I'll be transcribing the guys answers and tagging who's responding in the comment.
You can learn more about today's build and Nissan's partnerships with the Heisman Trophy trust and Habitat for Humanity here: http://nissannews.com/en-US/nissan/usa/releases/nissan-partners-with-habitat-for-humanity-heisman-trust-for-weekend-of-dallas-area-community-service-activities
We've also got /u/ou77-am0 (the winner of our CFB contest from a few weeks ago) here. Here's a shot of him and his wife and Billy Sims: https://imgur.com/lSj0x0W
Alright, let's see your questions! I'll edit the post and include proof of who's participating when each guy starts answering questions! I'm expecting the guys to start answering questions around 12PM CT.
EDIT 1: Just had a few quick minutes with Herschel before he had to head out, but we answered all the questions we had time for below. Here's proof: https://imgur.com/F9S5cNf
EDIT 2: Tim Brown is here with us now! Here's proof: https://imgur.com/nsVA6Ms
EDIT 3: Hey guys, some of the Heisman winners had early flights, so I wasn't able to sit down with them. I recorded them answering some of your questions with my phone and am typing them up in the back of a van with Ricky & George right now. Hang tight.
EDIT 4: Alright, that's it guys. I've typed up all the remaining answers I recorded, below. Thanks so much for all your great questions. Here's an album with a few more photos of the Heisman winners from today's build: https://imgur.com/a/UNvlw
Platform(s): this was on a computer (don't know which kind, I was like 5) and it was definitely free to play (because I was like five). Might have been mobile but that's not likely. Maybe it was on hp. Or maybe a big desktop computer (the chunky kind)
Genre: village builder/ sims type game with little tiny people
Estimated year of release: 2000's to early 2010's. There were multiple editions though
Graphics/art style: third person, looking down from the sky, you could drag the people around the village. It was like paleolithic or something.
Notable characters: they were dressed kinda caveman like and they all had names like Unga
Notable gameplay mechanics: you could drag the people around and if you put them on top of each other maybe they'd make a baby? You could give them jobs that they would do during the day. You had to have them build buildings and one of them was a love shack in which babies were made. There were bees. You could click on somebody to look at their name and age and interests. When they died they'd turn into a little pile of bones.
Other details: this was the game we played because we didn't have the sims. I vividly remember sometimes there were bees that would chase the people around. The pop up box of interests would be in a corner. They were little tiny cave people. Sometimes they'd die and become bones. Help me please. Oh oh and if they didn't make a baby they'd just hug instead but it was called embrace.
