UK and FR have ~500 nukes, more than enough to ruin Russia.

Prophecy of Pendor is legendary. I might get bannerlord if they release a Pendor mod for it.

Losses include casualties, where a combatant is just injured. That might be losing a limb, but in many cases its much less severe and they recover and return to fighting. 3 years is plenty of recovery time, enough for the same person to have been multiple casualties.

When is Trump going to pay back the $500bn the rest of NATO spent supporting the US in Afghanistan and Iraq?

You can be held for up to 28 days without charge if you’re suspected of terrorism offences.

I’m not aware of anti terror laws being used against protestors, but the last govt introduced extremely strict anti protest laws under which non violent protestors have been given up to 2 year prison sentences.

It also feels like it was all planned. From his time on TV Trump knows a lot about creating drama. First we have “he’s a dictator”, everyone expects Trump to be against Ukraine. Then in episode 2 there’s a twist - France and Britain show up and Trump is very amenable to give people hope again, and finally it all blows up in a dramatic clash. Trump even tells us “that’s why I let it go on so long… its going to make great television”.

The whole thing was about telling the story that Trump is the strong peace seeking negotiator and it all fell through because zelensky won’t be reasonable and is trying to take advantage of the US who he doesn’t respect.

Sorry but what the fuck are you talking about. You’re inventing connections between conflicts that aren’t there. Russia and the US don’t particularly care about Palestine. Believing that there’s some kind of exchange where the US is ‘taking’ Palestine because of the conflict in Ukraine is some of the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard. It’s like you think all of geopolitics is the US and Russia sitting around a map of the world and both of them are ten year olds.

It does though because it floods the medium with content from people just looking to make money. And it happens everywhere. When ebay started it was an online garage sale, now it’s mostly businesses. Etsy used to be a place where creative types sold their crafts, now its flooded with dropshipped tat from Ali Baba. YouTube used to be random people uploading stuff for fun and expression, now it’s mostly about sponsorship money. Twitter used to be a novel way for people to briefly express their thoughts, now its a fascist propaganda machine.

If only there were a middle ground somewhere between “just entered the workforce” and “should have retired 10+ years ago”. Oh well.

That still only counts as one.

By the way, which disto do you use?

A lot of dodgey wiring.

Jagged alliance 3 is a very solid sequel, it is very long though.

There’s also a mod to fix the portraits which imo look awful in vanilla.

You have to save the city! But no rush, just show up whenever you feel like it, it’ll all be there waiting for you.

I doubt it’s the beef honestly. It’s a big contributor overall but the rich can’t physically eat much more than the average person even if they do choose high beef diets.

Compare it to you flying 0-4 times per year on a plane with hundreds of other people versus them flying everywhere on private jets just for themselves.

That might have been true twenty years ago when the racist political parties were fringe groups with a few % of the vote share in most countries. Now that they’re frequently getting 20 or 30 something % if not winning elections outright I don’t think many people still hold the illusion that there aren’t a lot of racists in Europe.

Yes they are, and the USA just re-elected someone who tried to institute a Muslim ban.

Musk wants to release a violent criminal who went to prison for assaulting a police officer? Doesn’t sound like he’s in favour of law and order.

Santa Claus wasn’t in any way invented by Coca-Cola. The name, colours, appearance and everything used by Coca-Cola in their advertising already existed in prior works. The only thing they invented was the association with coke.
