2 cans tuna
You'll wind up with mercury toxicity eating that much.

good point! You're only supposed to eat what is it like 1-2 cans per week (depending on  your size I think).
wait what

I eat too much tuna, then, I'll usually make a sandwich (one can) every other day or so

this is good to know
You can substitute salmon, but if you have to have tuna then opt for the light tuna since it has less mercury.

Canned white tuna is recommend to be eaten no more than three times a month tbh, canned light is once a week.
meh

fuck it

it's just too good for that limit

There are conflicting recommendations, but it seems like 1 per day is a generally safe amount.

Barring that, canned chicken is pretty good too.

It's been a while, but off the top of my head:

-Generic 'scary AI' plot
-Ads that essentially lied about the scope and story
-Weird gun sound effects that make them sound like airsoft guns (carrying over from Halo 4)
-Req system (skins aren't content)
-The game is basically just a vehicle for exposition; the actions of Blue Team and Osiris are completely inconsequential; nothing is accomplished
-Ignores new characters established in 4 for an entirely new cast, and does nothing with any of them

It's just a dumb, empty game.

Every vote for Trump cancels out a vote for Hillary, and vice versa. The immature 'spite' angle isn't the most cogent way of expressing it, but abstaining is even less effective. You have one of two choices; if you've decided that you can't stand for one, then there's no reason to not vote for the other.

That said, it's really dumb for Bernie supporters to not vote for Hillary.

And I believe, due to the evidence, that the pentagon was hit by a missile, there is no evidence of a plane crash.

Except the dozens of eyewitnesses, plane debris, ATC records, tons of burning jet fuel, and recovered flight recorders.

I only have one question on my mind. If the government didn't do it at all, and everything they said was true, why did they take all the evidence from ground zero and destroy it? They wouldn't even allow any law enforcement to investigate the crime scene.
lolwut

"Crime scene"? You mean the pile of rubble that was closed for three years?

Why the fuck would the NYPD be investigating a terrorist attack, when that's literally the job of the Federal Bureau of INVESTIGATION. And that's ignoring that they actually did participate, notably in identifying remains and supporting clean up efforts. And no, the government didn't have any of the debris destroyed -- it was sent to a landfill after investigation, with some notable exceptions including the use of 7.5 tons of debris in the USS New York.

Anyone who still legit thinks the US government did it is an idiot, but ya know

steel beams and what not.

Guess that makes me an idiot then. Oh well.
Pretty much

It's as bad as the Pearl Harbor and Moon Landing conspiracies.
US government didn't do Pearl Harbor. They knew it was going to happen hours prior and didn't intervene, so they could have a reason to break the non-interventionalist policy and go to war.

You say this like it's fact; there's not much evidence besides some old guys' theories. They definitely knew the Japanese were planning some sort of attack in the Pacific, hence why the carriers were out delivering aircraft to Pacific islands, but they wouldn't risk losing so many important ships, crippling the war effort from the start.

OT: it obviously wasn't an inside job. Jet fuel absolutely does burn hot enough to cause stress failures in steel, resulting in a collapse. They didn't collapse into their footprint, and demolition would've been insanely difficult, especially considering it had never been done on buildings so tall. If you believe the story that America supported the Mujahideen, the theory is even less compelling; it becomes a direct example of puppet factions going awry.

You won't be ranking up in that covenant since the Forest Hunters invade other players trespassing in the forest. If you were online and human, you'd likely be encountering invaders.

Some of her stuff is available just by joining, though. As far as I can recall, there's no downside to simply joining every covenant.

2360
You probably pissed off Alvina in the forest by refusing to join her covenant. Other than that, attacking any neutral NPC will generally net a sin.
The cat? She never even asked me to join, though. Or even brought it up, for that matter. If that's because I killed her whole covenant, that would make sense and all, but it's not like I was given much of a choice.

I had a feeling that killing humans would have some sort of drawback, though. I was told it would be fine.  ::)

Can you talk to NPCs without having enemies attack you, though?...

Killing humans is fine if they attack first; killing the forest hunters wouldn't have sinned you.

A common sin, which I think is what you're experiencing, is that the first question she asks requires an answer of 'yes'. If you go talk to her and she refuses to speak further, it's because you initially said "no". So absolve your sin, and then go talk to her and say "yes" to join her covenant. Pretty much always say yes to NPCs, except with (I think) one notable exception: Patches, whom you'll speak to later.

Treat them like comics. Follow the ones you like forget that the others exist. You might miss a few in jokes, but everything crucial to Avengers #61 will be told within the film.
Yeah, that's what I do anyway. I'm just trying to illustrate how saturated the industry is becoming with them, and that Turkey's being just a little obtuse about it.

I can't compel you to believe something you don't, but the 'superhero fatigue/saturation' meme is hardly persuasive when there are the same complaints leveled against the young-adult/teen trope (Hunger Games, Divergent, Maze Runner) with much fewer and less frequent releases, while none aimed at examples such as spy thrillers, college comedies, gross-out comedies, etc. which are released much more frequently than Marvel or DC. Marvel (and DC to some extent) aren't even just releasing "superhero movies", they're releasing comic book-based movies with a wide range of tones, themes, settings, cast, and style. Captain America: Winter Soldier is more of a spy thriller than it is a typical superhero movie; Guardians of the Galaxy is more of a space opera; Ant Man is a heist movie with a gimmick; Deadpool is canonized satire parody. If they were releasing movies that felt and looked the same, like the Man of Steel series, there'd be a lot more cause for criticizing saturation of the industry with too little innovation, but that's just not something that can be said of Marvel.

Superhero movies were oversaturated by the time the first Avengers came out
Yeah, all of those 2 Marvel movies released per year is just too much.
When you put it that way, it actually does sound like a lot.

For a franchise, a movie per year is insane. The Harry Potter films were very punctual--one movie per year, but occasionally, they'd take an extra year. Still, that was considered extremely punctual, timely, and I'd even say miraculous.

Historically, James Bond films have usually taken at least two years to make--and since License to Kill, they've been tapering off even slower--now we're lucky to see another Bond film in less than three years.

The Star Wars trilogy had long three year gaps between each film.

On only one occasion has a Pirates of the Caribbean film had a one year gap between two films.

X-Men movies also had two-to-three year gaps, but they've been ramping up in recent years for obvious reasons.

Sam Raimi's Spider-Man films all had reasonable gaps between them--two years, then another three years.

I can go on and on. For a film franchise to produce a new movie every six months on average, that's unprecedented--especially when you consider the budget and scope of each film. There's just so many, and they come so often. When you look at the schedule for upcoming MCU films, you'll see that there are three MCU films planned for 2017 and 2018. They've introduced so many characters to keep track of and to have their own little spin-offs.

It shouldn't be a surprise to see that some people would be a little fatigued by this.

The MCU isn't a franchise though; they're made by different studios and directors. Iron Man as a franchise has released 3 movies over 5 years--so has Captain America. As for superhero fatigue, MovieBob (a fairly respected critic) has a decent article about it.

All things considered, Marvel and DC released a total of 3 movies last year. Of the 8,760 hours in a year, you probably spent fewer than 8 of them in a theater viewing superhero movies in 2015. People may feel saturated when they see the release plans they share, with up to 3 movies releasing yearly (all spaced out pretty well), but I'd wager that a lot of that feeling actually comes from how popular and frequently discussed they are, a symptom of basically anything that becomes popular.

That's like saying westerns or space operas are lame as hell. It's just the current version of classical mythologies and hero journeys.

Yeah, they're great. The MCU is a hugely impressive cinematic achievement, and they singlehandedly turned comic book movies from cult hits or outright jokes into the most compelling and popular trend in film history.

Even the worst ones (Iron Man 3, Thor 2, etc) are still solid action flicks.

Trump may be in the wrong for trying to build a wall, but this guy (or anyone who supports what he's saying) doesn't have a moral high ground to attack him.

It's often just chalked up to southern-state racism in the media, though.
I'm not sure what a moral high-ground has to do with anything.
