mro stores


 But if you fire the storekeeper, you could raid the stores (no MRO needed)

F'n fire Everybody, get your gang to do a raid.

That's my parable of the day POTD (lol)

=================

I can't explain why there are so many donation commercials, for hungry puppies (The "empty bowl")
or why google's front page right now is filled with stories about Hamas taking over the food deliveries
And killing gangs.
Did anyone get the food, or are they appropriating it?
Are we going to start seeing lots more food commercials?

I idly wondered about ASPCA and their repetitive voice-over of sad dogs posing...
I estimate (and I am terrible at math)
That it would take 3000 donors a month just to pay the CEO's salary.








Unbelievably huge gargantuan "slush" funds appropriated, so no matter what happens in the future, they can work against it or feed it more money, could be the goal of a corrupt few shutting down whatever is left of the government, and who would stop them? They run the store.
But I'm bad at math,
No one is there to prove or disprove.
It won't be on google's front page,
It's only a train of thought.






I sort of doubt that anyone plays "Fallout 4" anymore, 
but that is mostly what this entry is about.
Specifically one single very confusing part.
When player kills Kellogg and dissects his brain to retrieve an artificial piece (His hippocampus plus some electronics)
she is able eventually to relive Kellogg's memories.
One of the memories involves her son and the orders Kellogg gets to abandon this mission to retrieve a rogue scientist named Virgil.
Yeahbutt....The doctor says, it's a very recent memory.
We find out that her real son is in his mid-sixties.
We also see player being introduced to her "son", a robot, dressed exactly like the boy Kellogg had in his house.
It took me a few years to figure it out, but....
After her real son grows up and assumes control of the Institute, he releases his mother from hibernation and dangles clues (and a robot) so his mom can eventually reach the institute.
(As opposed to writing her a letter? Recording a tape for her to listen to?)
The game, in sort of a twisty-turny way, lets us know that the institute are a bunch of manipulative bastards who have given up on the populace, but use many propagandistic words to justify their actions.
On the other side you have the (cult?) Brotherhood of steel, hating the institute and are really hoping to blow a big hole in it to take it over (it's an inescapable part of the main plot)
War never changes, etc
Twisty-turny f'n maze (like the paragraph I just wrote, sorry about that)

I just assumed all this time that the kid she saw in those memories was a really long time ago, 
But Kellogg's journal contradicts that.
The kid-robot was bait for mom.





This next paragraph won't make sense and I'm only presenting it as part of an unreadable train-of-thought about the "hippocampus" which some game-writer must've thought, had to do with memories.
Yeahbutt that second part has to be wrong (right?) "temporal Lobes"
and "AD" vs FTD (they lost me, I don't know what their words mean, (omg)

frontotemporal dementia eyes, involuntary rapid eye movement, a former mean landlady (this TOT is endless) nevermind
