1 & 2 were fairly soon after the war, and I believe the bombs were dropped at ground level, requiring hundreds of years for the radiation to dissipate. Fallout 3 had the excuse of irradiated ground water, and NV was set in a desert so there wouldn't be much plant life there. 4 looks to have a lot of greenery, though.

She still hasn't been charged with anything. The decision is due next week. This is just a fluff piece to build up to that news.
Sheriff’s investigators plan to recommend prosecutors file a vehicular manslaughter charge against Jenner for the fatal crash on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu. Muh bad nigga, misread.

This was news in February. I'm not too clear on why The Guardian is publishing an article on it now.
Cause he wasn't charged with anything until now.

Wouldn't be surprised if they lowered the bar for them tbh.
All standards were exactly the same. They're rangers, but they're not as of yet allowed into combat roles. They get the tab, but not the scroll. Still an impressive milestone for those women, though.

How often are people seeing lunchboxes appear? >_>
Twice a day, maybe. I'm still resisting the urge to buy them.

I get like twice the protein I need in a day anyways. Yesterday for dinner I had like half a container of chobani greek non fat yogurt. There's 40% of your daily need of protein in 1 serving. There's 4 servings per container. I ate half the container yesterday. That wasn't even all the protein I ate yesterday. I think you little wannabes aught to be quiet, because I'm healthy and you know it.
FDA daily values are completely wrong. 50g is protein is nowhere near enough, especially for teenagers and doubly so for anyone that is exercised regularly. I mean, they allot more 30% more fat than protein in their diet. It's insane.

There's quite a bit of irony in criticising a meta-analysis for being biased by performing a meta-meta-analysis with the sole purpose of refuting its conclusion.
I think we need a meta-meta-meta-analysis to figure out the truth.
Well that's not my objective really.
It doesn't need refuting because it is nonsense, the meta-analysis padded it's studies pool out with a lot of irrelevant or clearly biased studies. If they were analysing papers that pertained to aggression and video games to find some correlational/causal link then sure that'd be fine and would not be able to be picked apart in about 10 minutes of reading what studies they shoehorned in.
They state in their paper that they used a huge pool of studies and other analyses and the input from hundreds of psychologists to determine which studies to analyze. Look Psy, I respect your opinion but you're just a psych student. You are not at all qualified to criticize this analysis so flippantly, especially when that criticism is prefaced with clear bias and based entirely on reading the titles of papers they studied. Frankly, I think you should be embarrassed by using the apparent authority of psychology the community grants you here to flagrantly and casually toss aside the work of an immensely respected organization because you don't like the results. And honestly I don't see how those results disagree with gamers' platform since it explicitly denies a causal link between games and crime or violence.

However if you actually read the source I gave you'd see that this study was done by people who had a vested interest in creating a certain result, had zero transparency with how the were conducting their study, and then proceeded to "peer review" their own work.
It's a meta-analysis...it's basically a gigantic peer-review of current literature on the subject by a team of researchers. Its peer review would have been conducted by the APA, since they're reviewing it. It's not being published in a journal, so it doesn't need a third party to review it. The Task Force did not review and publish the analysis themselves. You say the task force had a vested interest in creating a certain result, and while I disagree with the notion they fabricated the results, it's pretty much universal for scientists to start a study (or in this case a review of current literature) with the intent of finding certain results. That's why we either reject or fail to reject hypotheses; they sought to reject the counter-claim to the 2005 APA decision that video games don't cause aggression. As for transparency, there's an entire section talking about the methods and papers they reviewed. It's right there in the PDF.

Wouldn't care. It's your own time to waste, after all. I'd honestly be kind of relieved about some of your beliefs (and I don't mean that as a backhanded insult).
which ones
Anti-Natalism, Veganism, and the way you vehemently defend your various opinions.
You do you, though.
What's wrong with Veganism?
Oh, nothing. It's just another extreme position Verb takes on stuff. I don't really know why I included that.

“As a researcher in this field, I thought you might be curious to know that there are actually a lot of problems with this report, how the task force was comprised, and the basis for its conclusions on research,” I don't really understand why this person thinks being a fellow researcher entitles his opinion to override the study. He's welcome to weigh in on it, but research is a complicated business and it's just ridiculous to think any study can be done without bias or attempting to answer an ideological question. The same studies referenced (but not cited) by this paper's opposition were probably conducted to find the answer they wanted, too. That's how it works. If you've ever sweated or felt your pulse quicken during a stressful mission or online match, or heard a 12 year old scream that he's going to murder your mother, or felt excited and energized by a game, then you're living proof that video games triggered aggressive behavior in you. It's anecdotal, but it's the kind of common sense thesis that's really difficult to defeat no matter how many studies you throw at it. This study isn't saying it causes crime (in fact it affirms the opposite), and it isn't saying games cause violence. Hell, if games didn't stimulate me in a way that caused some sort of aggressive response, I probably wouldn't play them. They'd be boring. I didn't chainsaw Locust in GoW because I liked the artwork; I did it because it excited me.

there's currently an open letter signed by 230 psychologists requesting that they rescind this study.
That letter is a two-year-old document released prior to the publication of the study's results requesting that they approach it from a less ideological position, implying they think the study is a result of high-profile crimes tentatively linked to gamers by the media. I think we all know deep down that being exposed to frequent, repetitive violence, especially in a medium as personal and immersive as video games can lead to aggressive or even violent behavioral responses, and we all agree that nurture almost always trumps nature when it comes to conditioning youths' personality and behavior. An important snippet from the study: Thus, all violence is aggression, but not all aggression is violence. This distinction is
important for understanding this research literature, for considering the implications of the
research, and for interpreting popular press accounts of the research and its applicability to
societal events. The idea that video games can't cause aggression because violent crime among youths has gone down is nonsensical, particularly because this study specifically denies a correlation with violent crime and denotes a tangible difference between aggression and violence. There's a recognized correlation between aggression and high school football, but we don't deny it just because youth crime is on a sharp decline. It's an ecological fallacy that fails to recognize that video games make up a culture which funnels natural aggressive behavior into other activities like games, sports, and clubs. I don't think this study is negative or damning of video games at all, but it is necessary to not so vehemently defend a hobby that you're willing to set aside scientific study, especially when its conclusion is in our favor.

Like seriously, do people outside of the area I live in, like not have legs or any non-vital body parts they can be shot in? The fuck is with Americans and their obsession with shooting to kill?
It's not about shooting to kill, it's about shooting center of mass. Aiming for a limb or a non-vital body part (what the fuck does that even mean?) isn't taught by anybody, because it's stupid and dangerous.

"Hey these guys are going to kill people"
"Let's kill them to show that killing is wrong"
Didn't you say just yesterday that we should send 500,000 troops to Iraq and wipe out ISIS in two weeks?

Anyone know how to increase your stim and radaway storage? I have both at three rooms, but upgrades don't increase storage and I'm constantly rushing rooms hoping for fires so I can use stims up before another batch finishes. I think the only way is to make more, but I'm not sure.
