If I was a wealthy German in wisconsin i would want my mind program?

You have to be German wealth to have coastal houses

Pabst mansion alcoholism

They tell them they are there to politicize them....

The apostolic Christians wanting the football stadium crowd that sounded like those young adult books

Hunger games

They kept attacking us like we are with bolsenaro instead of gets to be the states

There could be an urban good here and if people liked it they wouldn't stop trapping Davi in the Amazon wilderness

Myal I probably can read it because infinity kusara mistress finally didn't have to be depressed so

Secrets of acting like changing ones persona aren't just given away....it was immigrations to get to do

I did look at the archer beef jerky message and it is that the sheriff has lasers that pulverize life into bite size pieces....

Basic Info

Age: 22 Gender: Cismale Sexuality: Bicurious, identifies as straight Birthday: October 19th Zodiac: Libra MBTI: ENFJ Occupation: Full Time Farmer Faceclaim: [ig: toolikk] Ships: Open to any with chemistry

Appearance

Stan's about 6'1, he has broad shoulders and an athletic build; his body is well sculpted from his long hours on the farm and football. His face can be described as slimmer and angular. He has broader cheekbones and a defined almost square shaped jaw. The peek at a Randy-stache was even starting to form, really solidifying how much he looks like his father. The resemblance was uncanny, except for the shape of his eyes and how he spoke. On occasion, people that know his father will approach him, thinking he’s Randy from afar. When he keeps up with his hair cuts and keeping it at around a 3” skater cut, the unwanted confusion is kept a bit at bay, but every winter when he grows out his hair to keep him warm, he gets it frequently. Despite his strong semblance, his wardrobe often sets him apart. Stan’s never been the type to care that much about he was wearing, outside of his very short metrosexual phase. He would take $200 to a goodwill and buy anything that he thought felt comfortable as soon as he started to get properly paid by his father. The staple pieces are his wrangler jeans, he saved up to buy 5 pairs in different shades of blue because he liked the fit so much. As for shirts, he wears a lot of just plain white shirts, graphic shirts he found at a thrift store, or a button up flannel overtop of the previous two options. His dad got him a pair of cowboy boots with a weed plant on the side that when Stan started to wear, he fell in love with the comfort even if he thought he looked dorky. He has two main coats, a big brown work coat for when he has to go out and water the plants in a colder morning, and a nice YSL jacket style coat for when he has to go to school. Stan owns a small collection of designer clothes. It consists of two coats, a sweater that was a gift and a wallet. Having a few nice things was all he wanted. He prefers to spend his money on other people.

Personality

Stanley grew up in a very small Republican town, it leaves a mark on a person. For the most part, he’s politically indifferent, and indifferent to a lot. His job and school work are the only things he really works on. Though it sucks out his soul, it comes back on his one day off a week that he tries to spend with as many people as he can. He tries to be generally indifferent to his life responsibilities. If he doesn’t like it, he won’t want to do it, but he has to do it regardless. He does it so he can spend time doing things he actually wants to do. It made him responsible, and a generally happier person. Mental health isn’t his biggest priority, and he deals with a bad day by drinking Pabst Blue Ribbon and watching the sports network. He tries to be a generally nice guy, but has a tendency to be a bit misogynistic, but in an almost chivalrous way. He doesn’t let women open doors so that he can do it for them, he sees women as weaker than him because physically they were. It wasn’t in a superior way, it was in a protective way. Stan’s a pretty soft dude and didn’t want to see any girls getting hurt around him, he’s always been a protector type, trying to save animals and help people. Religion isn’t the most important thing in the world to him, but he still feels a strong tie to his Catholicism. Stan has literally met Jesus on multiple occasions, and feels a strong connection to his faith for that reason. Other peoples’ religions have nothing to do with him, so for the most part he doesn’t care or pay attention to it. His history with different Christian based churches only further solidified to him that he should focus on his relationship with Jesus and maybe the saints. Though he’s not very involved in the church, and occasionally goes on a Sunday morning when he’s going through a hard time. Overall, Stan’s just an easygoing farmer boy, he’s just focused on trying to have money and enjoy his youth.

History

Ever since Stan moved to Tegridy Farms, his life was overtaken by the weed industry. In the beginning, and for a few years it kind of bothered him that he had to move away and couldn’t see his friends as often. It kind of ruined his life. He couldn’t have friends, a girlfriend, or any fun. Despite all that, he was able to start a new venture for himself in middle school. Selling his dad’s product. Randy had so much production, that Stan taking a few ounces here and there was virtually undetectable. Stan was the one processing it anyways, and the ugly shitty pieces he didn’t want to save for his own supply, he put in a side bag to sell to kids he didn’t really like very much. The quality depended on how much he liked people for sure. It lead to people doing him favors for a couple grams. By the time he was a freshman, he was really good at his operation, he kept it small and casual, and in a town with less than 750 occupants, that wasn’t really a secret operation. Detective Yates just didn’t come knocking on his door because no one snitched on him. According to a lot of the adults that his dad kept baked, he was just a good kid. Just a good Catholic boy that reads his bible and works hard in his dad's fields, and is never late when running deliveries for his dad. Every year since he was 8, he’s been the football quarterback, and in this small town dynamic, it awarded him certain luxuries. If he was wearing his letterman with the Q on the left part of his chest, and a cop pulls him over, he will be let go almost immediately. Some cops hear his last name, and will mention his dad but he tries to play it off. He got his truck, a black chevy tahoe, for his 16th birthday, when he got his license. Randy bought it for him, and even wrote it off on their business taxes. Technically he got it to do deliveries in, but he smokes a lot of weed in it, and tries to get as many girls on an air mattress in the back as possible. During his junior year, Randy made the monetary decision to increase the size of the farm and start keeping animals and food. It was a decision sparked by a threat to divorce Randy again, and since Sharon got to finally have her dream, it brought a new era to Tegridy Farms. However, at the detriment of Stan's education. He dropped out and began taking online classes in his few evening hours. It took until he was nineteen to finally get his diploma, and any inklings of a desire to go to college were ultimately squashed before they could become ideas.

He had to move away from his friends, which meant his mom didn't have her bridge nights anymore which made her mad, Shelly had her reasons too, even if Stan never exactly knew what they were. Over time, he got more used to living outside of town, and Kyle's parents started letting him spend full weekends, and he'd go home with Stan on a Friday, and come back to school with Stan the following Monday, it was the dawn of the rumor that they were gay for each other. It was almost every weekend, and when Stan got over hoarding and properly and deeply sanitized his locker, he even let Kyle store a pillow in there on the Fridays and Mondays to make it easier on his friend. The vast majority of his core memories of this life are just him and Kyle on the family farm.

When he was around twelve, Randy bought two baby dairy cows. This was what really made Stan actually like living on a farm, and shortly after the cattle matured to adolescence, Randy went out and bought a bunch of fertilized chicken eggs, a hen, and an incubator. Stan loved the baby chicks the moment he saw the eggs and cried actual tears over each one that didn't live. The plan for these chickens was never to eat them or anything like that. The week they were bought, Randy was obsessed with the idea of raising chickens and having fresh eggs. Once Randy's fascination with the chicks was over, Stan took on all the animal duties, knowing that in his heart, taking care of these animals was what his heart wanted him to do with his life. Hunting was traumatic to him as a kid, but something about raising animals and caring for them healed that in him.

Around his 14th birthday, Randy gave Stan an official, legal job on the farm, so he could finally get paid on the books. It gave his dad some kind of legal loophole being a family private business or something. Stan really wasn't paying that much attention to the legal information, he cared that he was being paid $28 an hour for 15 to 25 hours a week, and his dad had hired someone to do his taxes for him. His job was primarily packaging and trimming when he was ten, until he was an official employee. That's when he became a laborer. Randy put him out in the fields on a tractor to harvest and water. Around the same time, Randy hyper fixated on starting Sharon a garden which she seemed to like. Seeing his mom happy for once, made Stan okay with managing the plant care for a week for so.

His strong work ethic is what really helps him progress in life. Driving a tractor all day basically taught him how to drive a car, day in day out laps around the property. After talking to his dad, he was able to get his permit almost immediately, and Randy was practically jumping for joy when Stan said he wanted a truck, because it could be used for work and be written off. His 16th birthday present from his dad was a brand-new black Chevy Silverado with a hitch on the back. He loves his truck more than he loves being alive. It has a back seat, so all of his friends can sit inside when it's cold, his truck bed is large, so when it's hot everyone can ride in the back. He keeps an air mattress and a blanket in a box in the backseat in case he ever "needs" it.

His education has always meant a lot to him. Graduating is a steppingstone of his path to most likely taking over the family farm. It wasn't until his 17th birthday, when Randy bought Stan a horse that he truly knew this was what he wanted. Deeply truly, he loved the farm, even though originally it ruined his life, riding Buttercup, a beautiful show mare, made him realize that it gave him a new life.

Sample Para [ Removed to keep the feed clear of NSFW]

Headcanons: (Or any additional information you’d like to add about your muse)

Stan's favorite school subject is Reading/Language. He loves words, and still writes poetry from time to time.

Randy and Stan go for lunch at Hooters every Wednesday because Randy can write it off as a business expense, and it did not help Stan be shaped into a feminist.

Football is still a big part of his life, even if it takes a backseat to the farm on most days.

He would say he's socially liberal, and financially conservative, but upon taking the political compass test, he's fairly moderate.

Χίτλερ: Οι κινηματογραφικές ενσαρκώσεις του

Ο Χίτλερ, είναι μια από τις πιο σκοτεινές φιγούρες της σύγχρονης ιστορίας. Η επιρροή που άσκησε ο Χίτλερ κατά την διάρκεια της ζωής του, άφησε ένα σκληρό στίγμα στον θεσμό της Ευρώπης. Αυτή η επιρροή συνεχίζεται και μέχρι σήμερα, καθώς βλέπουμε χιλιάδες βιβλία, ιστορικά και λογοτεχνικά να ανατυπώνονται και να πουλάνε αμέτρητα αντίτυπα, όλα με πρωταγωνιστή τον Αδόλφο Χίτλερ. Οι πίνακες του Χίτλερ πλέον πουλιούνται σε δημοπρασίες για χιλιάδες ευρώ ενώ ο Χίτλερ έχει γίνει και αντικείμενο σάτιρας στα κόμικς και στην τηλεόραση. Ο Χίτλερ ήταν αδύνατον να μην περάσει και από το σινεμά. Αυτό το άρθρο είναι ένα αφιέρωμα στους ηθοποιούς που υποδύθηκαν αυτήν την μυστηριώδη και πολύπλευρη προσωπικότητα. Επειδή, λίγο έως πολύ, οι ταινίες είναι πανομοιότυπες μεταξύ τους,το άρθρο θα λειτουργήσει ως ένας κατάλογος πορτρέτων, παρά ως ανάλυση του χαρακτήρα του Χίτλερ. Από την μικρή έως την μεγάλη οθόνη, αυτά είναι τα πορτραίτα του Αδόλφου Χίτλερ. Ήρθε η ώρα να τα γνωρίσουμε.

The Great Dictator (1940)

Σκηνοθεσία: Charles Chaplin Πρωταγωνιστούν: Charles Chaplin, Paulett Godard, Jack Oakie Είκοσι χρονιά μετά την ήττα της Tomania από τον πρώτο παγκόσμιο πόλεμο. Ένας δικτάτορας ανεβαίνει στην εξουσία με σκοπό να ανυψώσει την χώρα του σε μια παγκόσμια υπερδύναμη. Ο Charles Chaplin υποδύεται τον δικτάτορα Hynkel, ένα σατιρικό «κακέκτυπο» του Χίτλερ, σε μια τολμηρή καυστική ταινία, που πλέον θεωρείται κλασική στο παγκόσμιο σινεμά. O Moe Howard από τους The Three Stooges,υποδύθηκε τον Χίτλερ εννιά μήνες πριν από το The Great Dictator (1940),στο σατιρικό φιλμάκι You Nazty Spy! (1940). O Mow Howard ενσάρκωσε ξανά τον Χίτλερ στην ταινία I’ll Never Heil Again (1941).

The Darkness (Xbox 360)

We all have a dark side of ourselves which some of us keep hidden from the light.  What is the evil that drive us to perform hideously unspeakable acts against our fellow man?  Is it the lack of family structure and nurturing support creating an emotionally stunted sociopath who can only feel alive when inflicting pain on others?  Or is evil an icky black slime monster that feeds on human hearts and is voiced by brilliant musician Mike Patton? 

I know, let’s consult the Bible on the matter!  (Flips through the pages) ...hmm, well, as far as I can tell the Bible says evil is mixing two types of fabric together.  What is this?  Fucking Project Runway?  (throws Bible over shoulder into nearby trash which explodes into wailing ghost spirits)

The Darkness, developed by Starbreeze Studios (who also made the excellent indie game Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons) and published by 2K Games in 2007, is based on the Top Cow comic book created by Marc Silvestri, Garth Ennis, and David Wohl in 1996.  After a hitman named Jackie Estacado celebrates his 21st birthday, a terrible power inside of him is awakened... the power to legally buy Pabst Blue Ribbon.  Well, that and the ability to control a force called “The Darkness”, which manifests as amorphous shadow creatures at Jackie’s back and call.  The only flip side is that he can never have sex again or he’ll pass along his power to his offspring and die (worth it).

The whole “no sex” thing doesn’t really factor in that much to the game, otherwise it would be a really weird “fail state” to avoid.  “You succumbed to your natural urges and had sex - game over.” 

Anyway, Jackie’s uncle Paulie, who is head of their crime family, is sick of his nephew’s attitude and weird Christian rock look, so he tries to have him killed.  Conveniently, Jackie’s powers manifest just in time to save his ass, and you spend the rest of the game learning how to control The Darkness while seeking revenge. 

The game is an FPS with slight tactical command elements in the form of the Darklings, little creatures with a variety of abilities you can summon to assist you.  Spoilers: you won’t need them very much, as your Darkness ability to send a slithering tentacle to scout ahead and dispatch enemies with one bite, called Creeping Darkness, is really all the assist you’ll ever need.  Jackie’s abilities with the Darkness increase with more hearts you consume from your enemies, which while rad at first, gets tedious eventually.

Speaking of tedious, the action sequences in the game can get a little irritating, especially due to the game suffering from what I call “everyone’s a goddamn Superman” problem.  Nearly all of the enemies you deal with in the game are normal human foes, but they shrug away being shot like it’s nothing.  That is if any of your bullets connect at at all - I swear there were several times when I’d had an enemy dead to rights, but none of my bullets hit after emptying a whole clip!  That’s when I hit on the idea of cheesing the Creeping Darkness ability, which served me better than guns for the rest of the game.

That’s not even the worst part of this game though.  The worst, most frustrating aspect of this game is how GODDAMN slow Jackie walks.  Look, Jackie, I get that you’re trying to be “cool action guy who walks slowly away from explosions” but FUCK YOU we are being shot, move your tacky leather jacketed ass into cover!  There’s no excuse for this either - most games had a dash or run feature by this point.

I admit that I’m shitting an awful lot on this game when in actuality it does have a lot going for it as well.  I really liked the open world aspects, such as they were, and the side quests that helped with the world building (even if they didn’t pay off in any other way other than to unlock an artist sketch - oohhhh!).  I also really liked how the loading screens feature Jackie telling a story about his life or how he feels about what’s happening in the story.  It’s a nice, unobtrusive way to develop his character and the plot. 

You can tell Starbreeze was really ambitious with what they had planned for this game, going above and beyond what was expected of them.  This shouldn’t be terribly surprising since they made The Chronicles of Riddick:  Escape from Butcher’s Bay, a game that arguably made better use of the character Riddick and the “Riddickverse” than the movies.  It’s a shame Starbreeze didn’t get to make the sequel, as I get the feeling they would have probably outdone themselves and really made a hell of a follow-up to this. 

Last but certainly not least is the voice acting - particularly that of Mike Patton.  I’ve been a huge Patton fan since my college days.  I think he’s a brilliant musician and world-class vocalist, the latter of which is in full display in his performance as The Darkness.  Patton’s vocal range goes from unsettling and deranged (when the Darkness whispers to Jackie) to bombastic and wild (the Darklings).  We’re talking about a guy who is probably considered one of the best beat boxers in the world, who can go from lounge singing style to opera with ease.  Starbreeze getting Patton onboard for this project was an inspired choice and definitely a highlight of the game. 

So to wrap up, The Darkness probably blew a lot of minds in 2007 (rightfully so), but pales in comparison to modern FPSes.  It’s short enough, and inoffensive enough, to check out if you’re curious, especially if you’re a Mike Patton fan or a fan of the comic.  Of course, I feel I must end my review now with one of my favorite tracks from Patton’s band Mr. Bungle, “Good-bye Sober Day”, which is a great example of his vocal range, especially the CHAKACHAKACHAKA part.  You’ll know it when you hear it!

"Nos últimos anos, a Hemmer vem crescendo como uma empresa alimentícia que é sinônimo de sabor, qualidade e variedade de portfólio. Estamos extremamente honrados com a potencial aquisição e oportunidade de expansão que essa negociação oferece ao dar sequência na história da nossa família na região," afirmou Christian Luef, CEO da Hemmer.
